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.”
