Hijacked by Replacement

Just for fun, let’s take a root test. Is the Church separate from Israel? If you answered, “No’” then your root system is intact. If you answered “Yes,” then your roots are most likely tangled up in what the Bible calls Mystery Babylon and are an innocent victim of what I call an evolved Gentile-centric worldview.  Read more...

The Shema is holy to God, holy to the Jewish people and holy to us! Why? Because it is God’s big picture of Who He is and our position to Him and our commission from Him. There is ONE TRUE GOD and we are not Him – we are created in His Image, invited to be like Him and live in extraordinary union in Him– but we are not Him. Read more...

When asked to explain or define Mystery Babylon, we usually ruffle our feathers to show a rightful indignation, but we are limited in our understanding to explain it. Mystery Babylon is the proper name given by the Bible to the end-time embodiment of Satan’s final religious and governmental system. It is the accrued momentum of the mystery of lawlessness...

Like a child with a loaded gun or a teenager behind the wheel of a sports car, so are our unchecked desires! Our desires have enormous power to fuel us in or out of godliness. As powerful and risky as they are, our desires are given by God as a gift to us and they are our secret weapon! Read more...

To think that God prepared Himself a Body and compressed Himself within that Body to take on our limitation is beyond our comprehension – personally, I can’t stop talking about the Incarnation of God in the Man, Christ Jesus! Furthermore, to think that God, the Divine Creator, allowed and subjected Himself to the temptation of the created and fallen being, Satan, is its own wonderment! Why did He do that? Jesus had been waiting for this moment for a long time, to show up and show us how to overcome!  Read more...

When tempted, Jesus did not deny His desire for food, nor His command of the angel armies, nor did He deny His desire to reign as our just King over all the kingdoms of this world – He did indeed desires those things, but He was not going to substitute His desire to honor His Father FIRST with the mere temporal lust. Nope, Jesus prioritized His desires as subsidiary to HIS ONE DESIRE!  Read more...

Why is our enemy our enemy and what exactly is he after – who started this fight anyway? Our first introduction to Satan is the venom breath of a possessed, talking snake that seduces Mankind. But later in the narrative of Scripture, his origin is revealed to us as a created, high ranking archangel. There are only three named archangels in Scripture - Michael, who specifically is the arch angel over Israel, Gabriel and Lucifer. We read of why Lucifer fell in... Read more

Lucifer’s identity was altered, way altered! He went from bearing the shining glory of God’s favor to slithering in the dark! God cursed the very nature that desires and chooses darkness over light – the serpentine, slanderous, slithering envy which became an adversary to the purposes of God! Read more...

Bottom line, Satan desires and intends to do whatever is necessary to hijack the glory and worship that is entitled to God ALONE! Satan, who is undeserving and holds no entitlement to man’s worship, yet will do anything to entice, dominate, manipulate, oppress, enslave, ensnare to get and feed on man’s worship. His gross appetite for worship is a narcissistic preoccupation with himself, it is unnatural – it is beastly. He feeds on darkness, deceit, uncleanness, and every perversion he grins behind.  Read more...

The mystery of godliness and the mystery of lawlessness are parallel narratives throughout Scripture. The historical account between Cain and Abel is where these two chosen lifestyle paths split. This particular pictorial mirror of Scripture helps all of us see objectively how an iniquitous mentality is developed. Read more...

Cain accepted his exile from his intended realm of influence (husbandry of the ground), accepted that he had to flee from his family, and that he would be in a perpetual state of anxiety (fugitive and vagabond), but he could not bear the thought of someone seeing him rejected by God. Isn’t that what our pride boils down to – how we want others to see us?  Read more...

Jesus’ point was that anyone willing to seek genuine reconciliation for wrong or harm done is worthy of our forgiveness no matter how many times they sin, primarily from our own reconciliation with Him and the mutual relationship that He has granted us. Jesus goes on to tell the consequences of the individual who is granted forgiveness, yet refuses to forgive. Read more...

Yep, we’re still trailing the seed of the Serpent. Things on the planet could not have gotten worse, but they did. Now we get into some graphic interplay that is beyond our com-prehension, nevertheless, let’s try. In Genesis chapter six, we read that the “sons of God” took wives for themselves. At first blush, this is a seemingly natural discourse. However, these “sons of God” were the Nephilim which means, fallen ones. Read more...

Just as Noah’s Ark ascended during the destruction of the flood, so will the Body of Christ, believing Jews and Gentiles, will be raised when God’s wrath is poured out upon the earth. There is a very interesting timeline spoken of by the Lord to Noah,  

And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Gen 6:3  Read more...

Up until Noah, it had never rained before (Gen 2:5). No doubt, this  was partially why folk were dismissive of Noah’s warning and call to repentance. Seemingly, Satan had the upper hand, certainly in numbers! He had successfully gained global buy-in that God was passive towards sin, the norm of the day was go with your urge to merge – just do it (Gen 6:5)! Sound familiar?  Read more...

While this may seem like a detour from tracking the Serpent’s seed through out history, the rainbow is such an extraordinary and huge metaphor for how God redeems us from the world, it is worth the illustration – especially in light of it being the promise given after the destructive and thorough flood. Hopefully it will provoke wonder the next time you see one! Read more...

Once docked on a mountain range in Turkey, Noah and his sons were about to begin building a whole new world, commissioned to do so by the Lord. The three primary people groups of the world today are traced back to the three sons of Noah, Shem, Japeth and Ham. Shem’s folk are known as the People of the Name,  Read more...

If we don’t know the true original pattern, we will most likely accept the counterfeit. When our One Echad God came to us in the Body of Jesus, He provided atonement for the purpose of reinstating mankind’s original role as priest, which is (1) to glorify God and reveal His will and king (2) which is to steward and administrate His will. When Jesus came, He reinaugurated the Priesthood of Melchizedek, who was both Priest and King.  Read more...

Throughout history Satan has used his two-prong doctrine of deception: (1) apostasy – which is direct replacement of truth or (2) assimilation – confusion by mixing truth with half-truths. We will see the ease he enjoys by hijacking that which is true and replacing it with a counterfeit. Read more...

Silly humans didn’t know that it was really the good serpent trying to save bound man from a dominate, judgmental and very mean Creator. Lucifer is depicted as the enlightened liberator and came to give man higher knowledge and free himself into the wonders of deserving sensualities and rightful independence. Read more...

Once Semiramis delivered her son, she named him Tammuz – and voila, the very first copy-cat incarnation, the son of perdition! He would embody, the first and bona fide antichrist – backed by religious and governmental orders! The first of many false christs from the seed of the serpent to come! Read more...

You may think this absurd nonsense has no place in our modern times but think again. In fact, the Masons acknowledge Lucifer as the enlightened one from their 33rd rank and above. Robert Muller, the UN’s architect for global educational curriculum for all global citizenship did so based on the philosophies and teaching of Alice Bailey recognizing them as the world-wide formational doctrines. Who is Alice Bailey? Read more...

Universal goodwill is on Mystery Babylon’s menu as a global agenda and who will enforce it? World servers, of course! They will work toward the elimination of global hunger, disease, they will emphasize right human relations that love and let live and will use global education to eliminate those who would inhibit progress, all under the anthem of oneness! Read more...

Eastern Mysticism is a categorical term that primarily refers to Far Eastern Thought which embodies Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Hare Krishna, etc. All are variant thoughts or methodologies rooted in Hinduism. The origins of Hinduism began in India in what is called the pre-Vedic era and basically was the worship of a mother goddess and a horned bull god – directly linking back to Semiramis and Nimrod. Once again, the religious template of Mystery Babylon. Read more...

Conceptually, most folk are in agreement about the biggies; life, love, goodwill and peace. However, we differ greatly on how to live, how to love and how to obtain peace. When we are unskilled in the divisionary process between good and evil, we usually find ourselves in agreement with the concept of the admixture of good and evil without even realizing it. Read more...

As a recap, let’s be clear of the big picture. What is God’s blueprint for His Echad-Oneness in the earth? And what is Universalism (the merging of all faiths) or Globalism, the merging of all nations, attempting to hijack? Read more...

Jesus, the Messiah, came as the expressed and true Image of God as well as the Image of what He intended us to be like, what we looked like before the fall – our nature, and yes, even the power and authority that had been invested in us! He also modeled for us what He is restoring in us, what we will be like in His Kingdom.  Read more...

OK, OK – so there are spiritually confused folk in the world, what does that have to do with me? Besides, Mystery Babylon is out there, not in here, right? Wrong! Mystery Babylon is invading our churches en masse as a full onslaught attack within the doctrine of deception. Whether by direct apostasy or assimilation, God’s house is under siege! Read more...

The Emergent church does not talk about sin, judgment, or absolute Biblical truths. In fact, in many circles, repentance is outdated, archaic and unnecessary. Read more...

There are many deceptions and practices in the counterfeit Emergent Church, seeking to replace and thereby hijack the true Church. Both are PRESENT in the Western Church today! Without an awareness of current trends or a strong Biblical foundation, it is hard to discern between the two. There is a gross deficit in the pragmatic teaching of Scriptures in the Western Church today.  Read more...

There is an unusual value of darkness in the sanctuary. Conceptually, people who are of the Light sitting in the dark corporately to worship is wrong! Nothing is so disheartening than going from a bright, sun-shining morning to worship the Lord and walking into a pimped-out, dark sanctuary that feels more like a night club. Read more...

Less than thirty years ago, none of us would have imagined that our sanctuaries would be venues of concert platforms of “worship,” where the lights went out and the disco-Danny light show with all inclusive lava–lamp visuals began! “But every church does it and if we don’t, then we won’t be competitive, we gotta at least put on a good show.” Read more...

If you have been able to stomach the reading of the origins of Satan’s blasphemous religious and governmental order in the earth, bless you – it is not an inspirational read! Why is understanding these origins important for us? Because we need to understand the whys (motive and intent) and the hows (strategies and tactics) of Satan’s attack on our family, the Israel of God, throughout history. Read more...

Just as we reviewed and summarized Satan’s replacement and hijacking campaign through Nimrod and Semiramis during the (Abraham) patriarch era, let’s review his campaign in a brief summary of Israel’s history. Read more...

The epoch of this time period’s struggle was illustrated when Ahab, a wicked king, married Jezebel, a wicked woman, and together they administrated a wicked kingdom. They replaced the worship of Jehovah, forced Baal worship and cultural assimilation upon the people of Israel. They attempted to kill all the prophets who spoke out against their doctrine of deception, and with the exception of a small remnant of prophets hidden away, they were very successful. They used kingdom resources to fund Baal initiatives. Read more...

This erosion through assimilation eventually caused Israel to be disciplined by going into exile for a predetermined 70 years – that is the equivalent to having to go sit in the corner until we get control of our attitude! We’ve all heard mothers saying, “I brought you into this world and I can take you out.” Well God brought Israel into the Land CONTINGENT UPON THEIR FAITHFULNESS TO HIM and He took them out of the land because of their unfaithfulness! Read more...

After the Babylonian Empire fell to the Persians, who funded and commissioned Israel’s return to the land of Israel as well as building the Second Temple, came the mighty Greek, Alexander the Great, who conquered all of the known world. Read more...

The Seleucid king, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, needed complete control of Israel to fortify his region against the rising military threat of the Romans. In doing so, he needed to take control quickly and basically cozied up to the assimilated Hellenized Jews. Read more...

Jesus came at the height of Israel’s post-exile resurgence of assimilation. Because of this, they missed Messiah’s hour of visitation. And so the Age of the Gentiles began during yet another predetermined exile of Israel unto the corners of the world. Read more...

The leadership of the Church throughout the first century was by far primarily Jewish, with the Apostles of the Lamb as an overseeing Council residing in Jerusalem. The Apostle Paul, though on many missionary journeys, reported back to the Council in Jerusalem. However,  Read more...

The Roman Empire was having its own internal power struggles between the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. When the Emperor of Rome died, there were two Caesars competing for rule of the Empire, Maxentius and Constantine. Constantine seized the opportunity to control all of the Empire by legalizing Christianity and absorbing the Christians into his armies, thus defeating Maxentius. Read more...

In time, I would learn to trump the enemy at his own game, just as the Lord does, and completely exploit the pagan days of Easter and Christmas to expounded on the deeper truths they replaced. By and large, present Christendom is not confused about Who they are celebrating at Christmas and Easter, but we are confused about the origin and titles of the neopaganism   Read more...

The original New Testament Church, the Israel of God, believed and practiced the doctrines rooted in the fulfillment of what was foretold in the Old Testament. These doctrines were hijacked by assimilation and then completely replaced by the doctrine of apostasy. Read more...

The 1500s proved to be a rocky time for the Catholic church. People began to leave the Catholic faith in droves for two reasons, (1) the Bible was translated, printed and circulated to the commoner and (2) the published teachings of the likes of John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Haas, John Knox, and John Calvin, just to name a few. Read more...

What does supposition mean, anyway? Supposition is the combination of two words: suppose and position. To suppose means to presume to be true or real without conclusive evidence. Position, in this particular word, means a point of view. The pre-tribulation theory is a wrong supposition intended to replace truths plainly written in Scripture. For an example, Read more...

The second Catholic counter-interpretation of the end-time perspective was not end-time at all, but a complete replacement teaching that the end-times were not going to happen in the future because they had already happened in the past. “Nothin’ to worry about folks! The Jews, Jerusalem and the antichrist Nero, who persecuted the faithful, are all things of the past!”  Read more...

In time, our adversary Satan patiently erodes and uses his lethal assimilation tactic to undermine truth. In the last five hundred years, we have gone from complete darkness of no published Scripture to the translation work began by the Reformist who translated word for word. But we then relaxed our vigilance to thought for thought, then relaxed into paraphrase and now we find ourselves in the weakened state of simply knowing concepts.  Read more...

You might be wondering why Islam has not been addressed, thinking there is a gapping hole of the enemy’s global strategy being presented – and you would be right! So lets address the elephant in the room. When communicating about the peoples of the Middle East, one needs to use extreme discipline because God has made promises to the sons of Ishmael and Esau as well as other people groups Read more...

The word replacement should be a flashing red light to us by now. Believe it or not, I wrote these fifty pages in little bitty print squished on big pages knowing that we are in an era where folk only read one-liners. Nevertheless, my effort is to show a pattern of the enemy’s strategic plan to hijack by replacement. I used a very broad stroke of the brush of earth’s history as a means to illustrate that Replacement Theology is simply one domino in a long line of calculated fallings imposed by Mystery Babylon. Read more...

We began this section with a root test by asking if the Church was separate or a part of Israel. Hopefully, you will now be able to recognize the weeds of Mystery Babylon and its entanglement in our root system that has encouraged the evolution of a Gentile-centric worldview.

My effort has been to challenge the Gentile-centric worldview in Christendom because through the last two millennia we have evolved away from the graciousness of God inviting Gentiles as adopted sons and daughters,  Read more...
