Bible Translation or Watered Down Truth?
THE ARROGANCE OF SATAN:
The Biblical passages of Isaiah 14:12-14 delve into the very thoughts which led to the downfall of Lucifer in Heaven. “How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, IN THE SIDES OF THE NORTH: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”
These scriptures are worthy of the most careful study. In fact, these verses prophetically reveal a present-day deception that is flooding our very churches! Would you believe many sincere bible believing christians are being subconsciously programmed by the very voice of satan? In this issue we will unveil the arrogance of Satan & the current prophetic fulfillment of the statement in Isaiah 14:13 which reads: “I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the SIDES OF THE NORTH:”
SATAN EXALTS HIMSELF & CREATES A FALSE SYSTEM:
Isaiah 14:12-14 gives the sad account of the self-exalted thoughts that led to lucifers expulsion from heaven. Here are some highlights:
1)”For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:” According to Revelation 1:20 (“These seven stars are the angels”) stars are representative of angels. SATAN WANTED TO SET UP HIS THRONE ABOVE THE ANGELS.
2) “I will sit also upon the MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION,” In the original Hebrew language, “mount of the congregation” translates, an appointed sign or sacred season. The Sabbath is Gods appointed sign & season where he comes to tabernacle with us. During the creation week, the Sabbath was set aside as a memorial of Christ creative power demonstrated the previous six days. Thus, God made the seventh-day Holy forever. “And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:” (Gen.2:2,3) Sanctified means Holy. Those who observe the seventh-day Sabbath proclaim, “It is God’s creative power through Christ that makes my heart holy” (or sanctified)! Therefore, we must cease from our own works and the cares of this life. As the apostle states, “I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”-Galatians 2:20
THE NEW TESTAMENT SABBATH
For those who are curious about the particular day of the Sabbath, you must read a certain new testament scripture which was recorded after Christ was nailed to the cross. We all know that Christ was crucified on what we call,” Good Friday”. Well after he gave up the ghost on Friday, he laid in the grave the following day. That Saturday Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses viewed where he laid. For the Bible reads in Mark 15:47-16:1-2, “And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. AND WHEN THE SABBATH WAS PAST, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.(Pause-The Bible is calling the day after friday the Sabbath). And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
The Sabbath is a symbol of an entire lifestyle of dependence upon God. “Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.” Ezekiel 20:12. In contrast, satan wanted to divert power from God by establishing a false sabbath!
The word, “sit”, in Isaiah 14:13 is from the Hebrew word yaw-shaw which means to establish. Therefore, the last portion of Isaiah 14:13 can be read, “I will establish a sabbath in the sides of the North”. Why the sides of the North?
SATANS NEW HIDING PLACE: WHO WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN?
The earthly sanctuary built by Moses was a pattern of the temple in heaven where God dwells. When God instructed Moses to, “make me a sanctuary: that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8), he clarified, “And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount (Exodus 25:40). It was upon the mount where God flashed images of his sanctuary through the mind of Moses. Thus, everything in the earthly sanctuary was specifically after the order of the heavenly temple. The SIDES OF THE NORTH is the location for the TABLE OF SHEWBREAD in the earthly sanctuary. The bible declares: “And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle NORTHWARD, without the vail. And he set the BREAD in order upon it before the Lord; as the Lord has commanded Moses. Thus we conclude tht the Shewbread in heaven is located on the NORTH side of God’s temple. What does the shewbread symbolize? This answer requires us to examine direct quotes from Christ himself:
“I am that BREAD OF LIFE. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I AM THE LIVING BREAD which came down from heaven: if any man eat of THIS BREAD, he shall live for ever: and THE BREAD that I will give is MY FLESH”, PAUSE- What is his flesh? “In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God.” (John 1:1) Consequently, Christ offered the spiritual advice, “THE BREAD that I will give IS MY FLESH” (John 6:51). The jews replied, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat? In reality, Christ was telling them they could only have eternal life by eating the WORD OF GOD. Satan is well aware of the power in God’s authentic Word coupled with the Holy Spirit.
SATANS HIDING PLACE EXPOSED:
It is satan’s studied aim to set up a kingdom in THE SIDES OF THE NORTH. This is where the WORD OF GOD is. This is why satan has flooded the market with watered down bibles, Amen! Perhaps, some may think it trivial to discredit the various new translations of the Bible. Do these various translations establish a false sabbath in the bible? Have you ever studied the sabbath doctrine in some of the modern translations? Allow me to be frank for the sake of truth. Next edition, we will hit the axe at the root and unveil how and why these fake translations gained popularity. Until then, God bless.
