BE NOT FOOLED
Be not fooled. The Lord our God shall not be mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Galatians 6:7).
For those who steal the glory of the LORD, whether it be for the gain of “Fame, or Fortune, or Females”, or whether it be for “Gold, or Glory, or Girls”, these are those of whom it has been foretold and written: “On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’” Matthew 7:22. And the Lord shall turn to them and say: “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” Matthew 7:23.
For those who have the boldness and audacity to steal the glory of a holy God for silver, are like the son of perdition, who for 30 pieces of silver, sold his soul. For he placed his faith and his trust in what he could see, which was 30 pieces of silver in his hand. But is it not written that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT SEEN? Hebrews 11:1.
And because he placed his trust in what was in his hand, just like Esau, Judas traded his birthright for a meal. Which is for what he could see. Which is for what was in his hand. And just like for Esau, all those who trade their birthright for the meal of stealing the glory of God, that they should be gratified by what they can eat now, being a single meal, rather than waiting for the lifelong and eternal inheritance of their birthright, we know that afterward, when Esau desired to inherit the blessing, that Esau was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears. Hebrews 12:17. For the meal in the hand for all who steal the glory of God is simply that “they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” John 12:43.
All those who barter their birthright and inheritance for the spoils of stealing the glory of God for mere coin, or fame, or currying favour with the opposite sex, being a type of the unrepentant thief on the cross, who are all those who, like the thief, publicly mock Jesus (Matthew 27:44), be not fooled. God is not a God who shall be mocked. What a man sows, that he shall reap. And the payment they shall reap for their public and brazen mockery, for they do not hide it, but do it in the open, like all those who jeered and mocked Jesus at the Cross in plain sight and in the open, doing so before God, man and beast, they shall fall headlong, and like Judas, their body shall burst open, and they shall spill their intestines exactly where they lay.
For was the fall of Judas not a truly great and mighty fall? Such a fall that his body burst open? But has it not been written: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before “A FALL”? Proverbs 16:18. For like for Judas, is it not the sin of the “pride of life”, being the evidence of a haughty spirit, one who haughtily mocks the grace and glory of God, that urges anyone to publicly take for themselves what belongs not unto man, but unto God? For is it not written: “I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images.” Isaiah 42:8.
