Satan's enticement: 'Join the initiated'

People say science has advanced us so far. So how come you can read about an evolutionist 700 years before the time of Christ?

In a passage directed at the unbeliever, Jeremiah 2:27 says, “Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.”

Jordan explains, “Here are people who think their father is a piece of nature that the earth produced; they think they evolved out of plant life and stone life.

“You see, evolution is really a religion that is an ancient religion trying to tell you that where you came from is nature and not God, and they’ve worked themselves into this religious frenzy of attributing their source and origin to nature.

“So evolution in our day is simply the application of ‘science falsely so-called’ to the philosophy of pagans that Jeremiah warned Israel about and has existed since Genesis 11.

“The saying, ‘There’s nothing really new under the sun,’ is really a truth and if you ever talked to someone who is an evolutionist or someone who says science disproves the Bible, you’re dealing with those people back there.

“You’re dealing exactly with what they dealt with. It’s a spiritual problem, and I look at the world around us and I say, ‘Look at the mess we’re in!’ and when you see it, you say, ‘Where did it come from?’ And folks, that’s where it comes from. It comes from a spiritual issue.

"Psalm 2 says, '[1] Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
[2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
[3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

“There’s a conspiracy, there’s a force in the world, a secret, behind-the-scenes spiritual movement that’s against the God of the Bible, against the Lord Jesus Christ, against the Word of God, against the Holy Spirit and against you.

“Its purpose is to destroy your life, your family, this church, WHATEVER that stands for what God’s doing. And they take counsel together. And there’s an evil, wicked force out there doing it.

“You see what the heathen in Psalm 2:3: ‘Let us break their bands asunder.’ When someone asked me what I thought of the gay marriage ruling, that was the first verse that came to mind. What do you call you marriage ring? A wedding band.

“Gay marriage is designed to try to break the band, but you know what the band is? The band is not that little ring on your finger. Your marriage has a standard for it. The standard for marriage in the Bible is the marriage of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Believer. Your marriage is to reflect that.

“What they’re striking at is the very heart of the reality of our oneness with Christ. Now that doesn’t even show up in the average evangelical discussion of the matter, but that’s what’s underneath.

“There’s a conspiracy for wickedness and it has a name. As Revelation 17:5 says, 5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

“Revelation 17 says, [1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
[2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

“Notice she’s been around for a long time. She’s destroyed many kingdoms in the earth. She goes all the way back to Genesis 11, so this is not a new character in the earth.

“She’s in the wilderness and that’s where you’re going to find this woman. She’s going to be obsessed with pulling people in with drunkenness and fornication. That’s not a physical wine; that’s getting them intoxicated with a spiritual enticement that produces a spiritual adultery.

“She’s out there in the wilderness; to find her you’ve got to go way far away from the springs of living water. You have to go way far away, be alone, with no bread. That’s what happens in the wilderness. You see, she’s going to be every place that Book isn’t.

*****

“You go find a church today where that Book isn’t preached and taught, and especially taught rightly divided, you’re going to find her. And when you get where you learn how to spot her, it’s going to scare you to death to see her everywhere you go. But knowledge of what’s going on allows you to have wisdom about how to handle it.

“By the way, if you look at Verse 6, it says, ‘And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.’

“You know how they martyred the saints in the Book of the Revelation? Go to chapter 6 and you see they were ‘beheaded under that fifth seal.’

“You watch in our day bloodthirsty people beheading. Where does the wickedness that would cause you to take children and teach them to cut people’s heads off? They are ‘without natural affection,’ where you cut children in two and teach children to cut other people’s heads off.

“Listen, there is a genetically designed implanted understanding in every person that it’s wrong to kill. God put it there. Romans 2 tells you that. Every culture knows that.

“But there’s a spirit of evil and wickedness. By the way, that crowd over there in the Middle East that calls themselves Isis, did you know that’s the name of an Egyptian fertility goddess who was married to Osiris, the Sun God, and she was the Moon God. Her symbol was a crescent moon.

"In the quote Satan gives to Eve, 'For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil,' there are 46 words and the word “eyes” represents the 33^rd word in the quote.

“He’s saying, ‘God’s got a secret knowledge out here, Eve, and He’s not telling you about it, but if you’re one of the initiated you’ll know it. Thirty-three in the Bible is a number associated with illumination, knowing things.

“Have you ever read in the occult, or heard in religion about 'the third eye'? You have two eyes and then they say you have a third eye. You ever seen people go around with a little red dot on top of their forehead; a little jewel up there? In some religions that’s called ‘the third eye’ and it’s an eye of perception that you get in the middle of your forehead.

“This is the ability to see into something and have knowledge that you couldn’t have any other way. It’s secret knowledge that you can only have IF you are in the initiated. Where you got to go to get that?

 

"Satan’s offering Eve the initiation: ‘I know something God doesn’t want you to know, and that you can’t know unless you become one with me. You know this and you’ll really know what’s going on.’

*****

“Ultimately, when the Antichrist is manifested and the system that brings him to the fore and puts him into power is manifested, it’s that mystery.

“There is a secret purpose, this idea of secret wisdom, understanding and the GAIN that you can get if you get it that’s associated with Satan all the way through the Bible. It’s associated with his LIE program.

“What do you say about a lie? It can be 98% truth but it’s the 2% that isn’t that kills you. You see, it’s hidden among . . . the ‘tares are hidden with the wheat’ kind of thing and the lie program is all this good, good, good, but there’s that secret thing in it.

“Isaiah 33 is a passage dealing prophetically with the nation Israel in the last days. Isaiah 33: 6 is a verse of scripture I used to keep posted on my wall. It says, [6] And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

“Eve didn’t have the basic knowledge even straight in her thinking, so that when Satan came along and offered her this secret knowledge, she couldn’t say, ‘NO, I know what the truth is!’ She’s over here dreaming up stuff, leaving stuff out, adding stuff.

“Where did she ever get that, ‘I can’t touch it’? She just thought, ‘Well, if I can’t eat it, it must mean I can’t touch it either.’ She made that up in her imagination. She didn’t have the knowledge. That’s where stability is, in knowing.

*****

“God, talking to Moses in Deuteronomy 29:29, says, ‘The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.’

“Notice, everything you need to know to do everything God has for them to do, He revealed to them. If there’s something they don’t know . . . wasn’t that what Eve was told? ‘There’s something you don’t know, Eve, that God knows, and if you knew it, you wouldn’t let him get away with this.’ And then her imagination starts going.

“Moses says to Israel, ‘If there’s a secret that God hasn’t told you, that’s His business; you don’t have to worry about it. You just worry about what he told you. Don’t worry about the secret stuff; worry about what He revealed to you, because what He revealed to you is what He wants you to know.’

“You understand God knows things you don’t know? If God took everything He knows and put it into your little noodle, your brain would be on the wall.

*****

“The word ‘occult’ means something you can’t know unless you’re initiated. You know what Eve was invited to become a part of? The occult. A secret society of knowledge that you can’t get unless you’re an initiated person.

“Most of this traffics in the religious, spiritual background and it’s hidden in their symbols and their allegories and their hidden meanings behind things. They come along and try to draw you in. They invite you to follow the secretness of it. All the cults of secrecy. I don’t just mean nobody knows it; I’m talking about you have to be illuminated to get in.

“God already revealed His will. God already gave Eve clear instructions about it. Satan says, ‘I know something He doesn’t want you to know,’ and you know what that does? It entices you.”
