Pollution permeation under one tent

In talking to Israel about the reason they've gone into difficulties, Psalm 106 testifies:

[36] And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
[37] Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
[38] And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
[39] Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
[40] Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
[41] And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
[42] Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Part of sacrificing innocent blood would have to do with aborting unborn babies. In that process it polluted the land. This kind of activity pollutes a nation and it does so because the thinking process necessary to allow to happen is what corrupts the culture, says Richard Jordan.

When you have a culture that's willing to accept abortion on demand, for example, the thinking process of sin that leads people there has corrupted the land and made it a part of the satanic policy of evil. Eventually, it makes the land unbearable.

Proverbs 14: [34] Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Isaiah 33, where God talks to Israel about getting out of that situation, in verses 5-6: [5] The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

[6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

It's wisdom and knowledge that gives a culture stability. The thinking that leads to shedding innocent blood is what produces destruction, pollutes it and brings it to nought.

Some of this stuff is just ludicrous, but if you don't know sound doctrine it makes eminent sense; cultural leaders think it makes sense.

Again, I point you to II Timothy 2: 24-25 because as Believers we need to be careful when we think about this stuff. We're not in the business of fighting and striving in the flesh.

[24] And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, [25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

Romans 11: [20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

[21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
[22] Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Israel was cut off because of unbelief and what keeps the dispensation of grace going on is the response of faith among the Gentiles. But if the Gentiles quit believing and don't continue in the faith, He said, "I'll cut you off." That's the condition whereby God will cut off the grace program.

In the godhead they had to make a decision: "How are we going to know when it's time to finish it?" I've heard all my life people say, "Well, when that last member is in the Body of Christ." 

If you're a Calvinist that's a good idea, because you think there's a prescribed number and, "When that last 'X' number gets in there," but that's not what God says.

The way the dispensation started is when the Gentiles corporately rejected globalism. Globalism allows for the corporate activity of the nations--getting all the nations together to make a decision that applies to all of them.

That's why in II Thessalonians, when Paul says the "mystery of iniquity doth already work," what the mystery of iniquity is working for in every age is globalism. It's always working toward having one nation, one language--having everybody under one tent.

That's why our nation has been such a threat, because our nation is so built upon the idea of, not top down but bottom up, which is the opposite of globalism.

The Adversary says about Believers, "I can't change who they are, but I can make them act like that isn't true. I can teach them some doctrines of devils that cause them to depart from what's true, where they don't live like it's true."

That vain religious system, Revelation 17:5, has a name: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

That's the religious system the Antichrist rides to power on in the future. What was back there in Numbers, Jeremiah, etc., is going to wind up over there with the Antichrist, so don't be surprised that it's here today! And that it permeates.
