Mountain cast into sea of chaos, i.e., underworld

Here's the conclusion to yesterday's post:

Jeremiah 4: [23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

[24] I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

“The language here, which is describing the future, is the same kind of language from Genesis 1.

“I personally believe it’s the language of judgment. All we know is the day is coming where the mountains are going to tremble and the hills are going to be moved.

“Again, that’s characteristic of the undoing of something. All of this is the result of God’s judgment to be poured out on the earth.

Matthew 21: [21] Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

“When Jesus says, ‘You can remove a mountain,’ He then says you can cast it into the sea. The sea, in light of what God says is going to happen in the future--there is without question something that we would call ‘weather cosmicity’, the sea of chaos.

“There is a sea in the universe where the Leviathan, where the serpent abides. When Jesus says, ‘We’re going to dismantle these governments and you guys can cast it into the sea,’ the sea also represents the underworld.

“Jonah describes this sea. The Lord Jesus describes it in Psalms 69. We know that this chaotic sea contains what we would call the underworld.

“Remember when the Lord split the Red Sea open and the earth swallowed up the Egyptian armies? Their bodies were on the shoreline, floating and bobbing, but the verse says they were swallowed up and they descended into the pit. So there’s that type of sea where that creature abides.

Luke 17: [6] And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

“When the Lord mentions the sycamine tree, that’s an interesting one. He says, ‘You can tell that sycamine tree to be removed and you can plant it in the underworld.’ The sycamine tree represents the apostate nation of Israel. The fig tree, of course, represents Israel’s religious system.

“The sycamine tree is large; it grows in the desert and it produces figs. The problem is they are inedible. Jesus singles out the sycamine tree because it’s one of the largest trees that dwells in the desert area, but the fruit is so bitter it’s worthless.

“The nation of Israel has become bitter, worthless, fruitless. So the day’s going to come where the apostate nation is going to be removed and they’re going to be planted in the sea, representing the underworld.”
