Sabbath 22/8/36/120

Dear Friends,

Recently an insidious piece of legislation signed into California state law October 9th by the democratic governor now makes it easier for women to offer up their unborn children on the altar to the fire-god Molech.  The San Jose Mercury News reports that California on Wednesday became the only state in the nation this year to increase access to abortions as Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill allowing nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives and physician assistants with special training to perform abortion by aspiration -- in which the uterus' contents are suctioned out -- which is the most common kind of first-trimester abortion.

The news report further stated that the Assembly passed the bill on a 50-25 vote in May, and the state Senate passed it on a 50-25 vote in August, with most Democrats and no Republicans voting for it.

The legislation, which had been pushed vigorously by Planned Parenthood, had been strongly opposed by pro-life groups and some physicians, arguing that it amounted to legalizing back-alley abortions for profit.  

With the ever-increasing disintegration and destruction of the family unit throughout all societies today, the question can be asked, "Why did God create humans to function as a family unit?"  He could have ordained man to form societies void of any family structure, but instead God, our Father, became the Author of the family unit with a divine purpose.  It is important and our responsibility, whether single or married, to come to understand why God created the family structure and for what purpose it serves.

The Scriptures reveal that before the creation of man, the reality of family structure came into existence when the Most High God Eloah thoughtfully planned and created His spirit-generated sons.  All of His innumerable spirit-sons, who form the Elohim, are subordinate to Him, including the one who by the authority of his Father became our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  The sons of God are mentioned throughout the Scriptures and form the Heavenly Council spoken of in Job and the Psalms.  Reference to the "sons of God" in the Book of Job would have no meaning if a family structure did not exist within the Elohim, and if these sons did not have a beginning through a Father. The Father is the God of gods (John 17:3, 20:17, 1Cor.8:4-6).  He is the Father of spirits in Hebrews 12:9.

Heb 12:9  Furthermore, indeed we have had fathers of our flesh as correctors, and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits, and we shall live?  (LITV)

For a detailed explanation of this astounding event surrounding the creation of these spirit-generated sons of God, and how they are united to the Father by His Holy Spirit, see the papers How God Became a Family (No. 187), and The Holy Spirit (No. 117).

We also know from the Scriptures that the Father first created His spirit family with the plan for His sons to ultimately have a positive, loving, and teaching relationship with the human family, which was to be created much later.  Ephesians 3:14-15 in the Philips translation reads:

¹⁴ As I think of this great plan I fall on my knees before the Father ¹⁵  (from whom all fatherhood, earthly or heavenly, derives its name),

God caused humans to be created by delegating to His sons within the Council of Elohim the power to create the human family. "Let us make man in our image" (Gen. 1:26) is a reference to this creative power given by Eloah through His Holy Spirit to the Council of Elohim to create man. 

In Acts 7:35-38 we see that it was one of God's sons who was the Messenger who spoke to Moses in the burning bush and delivered the Law to Israel at Sinai. This Messenger is the one who became incarnate and the monogenes theos (only born god), known to us as Jesus Christ (Prov. 30:4-5).  See the paper The Pre-Existence of Jesus Christ (No. 243) and Joshua, the Messiah, the Son of God (No. 134).

The sons of God administer their Father's Law of Commandments and ordinances to man.

Act 7:35  This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
Act 7:36  This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Act 7:37  This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.
Act 7:38  This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us: (RSV)

Hebrews 2:1-3 is further evidence that it was the sons of God who delivered their Father's Law to man: "For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward" (RSV).

God tasked His sons to be ministering spirits to the human family for the purpose to nurture and guide humans to become part of the Elohim under Jesus Christ:  Heb. 1:14  "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?"

God's plan for the human family is further expressed in Revelation 21:16-17 in the measurement of the City of God:

Rev 21:16  And the city lies four cornered, even its length as much as the width   also. And he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal.
Rev 21:17  And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty four cubits, a measure of a man, which is of an angel.

Quoting from the Bible Study paper, The City of God, (No. 180), the following explains the measurements of the City of God and how it applies to mankind being adopted into the Elohim:

"The City is a perfect cube as the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Solomon was a perfect cube of twenty cubits. The altar of Ezekiel 43:16-17 is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits broad. The dimensions thus become an extension of the concept of the Holy of Holies and the altar. God is thus extending and replicating Himself. The structure of the City is based on the selection of the elect who form its structure and dimension.

Revelation 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

There are one thousand of the angelic Host in the central administration; one of the thousand redeemed mankind (Job 33:23; RSV). This Angel of Redemption was elohim of Israel (Gen. 48:15-16).

The wall was 144 cubits and the measure of an angel here is synonymous with that of a man. Thus, mankind here has become as angels or brothers of and equal to the angelic realm as sons of God in accordance with the promises of Christ in Luke 20:36. If we assume from this text that it relates to the 144,000, there are 1,000 divisions of 144 forming the wall and the outer structure of the City of God. We can see that there are two councils of 72 (the hebdomekonta[duo] of Lk. 10:1,17) in the 144. However, there were 1,000 of the angelic Host. There were 2,000 times 72 in the 144,000. Thus there would be 2,000 dual systems (or 288,000 men and angels) in the new universal administration of Deuteronomy 4:19, governed from here on the Earth." (My emphasis )

Christ's promise to His followers in Luke 20:36 reads: for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. (RSV)

From the beginning when God created His spirit-sons, He ultimately planned to create and extend to the human family through the husband and wife blessings to procreate human life, and to nurture and raise children. The blessings associated with producing a family bear tremendous parental responsibility and are not to be taken lightly.  Parents have the same responsibility in raising their children to love and obey God as the spirit-sons of God have the same responsibilities to serve humanity. Parents are required to personally teach their children to have a close relationship with God our Father, and teach them to obey His Laws.  See the paper Role of the Family (No. 187B).

The capstone of these parental responsibilities is stated in Deuteronomy 6:4-9:

⁴ "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD; 5 and you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 6 And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; 7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 And you shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (RSV)

These God-given responsibilities are entrusted to parents and they are held accountable for nurturing and instructing their children in the ways of God, in the ways of His Kingdom, and in His Law. 

God does not create any of His sons and then destroy them. He creates from His nature, which is love, and He nurtures His sons from the motivation of love. Parents are to follow His example. That is why abortion is wrong and is considered murder, except when the life of the mother is at stake and in grave danger of dying if she gives birth.

This exception is explained in the Bible Study paper Law and the Sixth Commandment (No. 259) at http://www.ccg.org/english/s/p259.html.  It states:

"Abortion is a breach of the sixth commandment except on one ground. That ground is where another law is breached: when the child threatens the life of the parent, then the child is put to death.

This is a reflection of the fifth commandment, and the sixth follows from the fifth and interprets it. Thus the child cannot be allowed to kill the parent; this would be logically consistent with the Laws of God. The first five commandments relate to the responsibilities of the individual to God and the family in the society, as creator and parents. The last five commandments relate to the interaction with that society. No child can damage or cause the death of its parent with impunity.

Exodus 21:15 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. (KJV)

Abortion is thus permitted within the Law of God to save the life of the mother."

In today's "Christian" society, the churches are central to the state of antinomianism and reprobation that we find in our nation.  Churches mislead parents by teaching that God's Law is no longer to be kept, and parents abdicate their responsibilities to teach God's Law to their children.  The result is the murder of children in the millions through abortion.  Our nation stands condemned for ignoring and turning its back on the Law of God as ancient Israel did, and they were destroyed and sent into captivity for it. 

Planned Parenthood mentioned in the news article as being the catalyst for the signing of this odious abortion legislation, and organizations like it, are minions to a force that aims to reduce humanity to under five hundred million.

Few people are aware of the intent of this force as it is inscribed on a monument called the Georgia Guidestones located in the state of Georgia, USA.  The following is taken from Wikipedia at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones

"The Georgia Guidestones is a granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. A message clearly conveying a set of ten guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages' scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit and Egyptian hieroglyphs.

The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge." The monument is 19 feet 3 inches (5.87 m) tall, made from six granite slabs weighing 237,746 pounds (107,840 kg) in all. One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.

In June 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R. C. Christian hired Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the structure.

A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones.  Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian.

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature."

No one will escape or be immune to the insanity that is about to unfold on this earth.  Those in the position of power and the leaders of cities, states, and nations will be held accountable to God for their actions and how they rule over the people.  Humanity is on a collision course with a beastly power that will oppose Jesus Christ at His return.  It will be destroyed and those who refuse to repent and acknowledge God and keep His Laws will be dealt with by Jesus Christ.

Keep in mind the Temple system God is building and come to a deeper understanding and appreciation for His Laws in order to take up position with the two Witnesses as they begin the process of restoring the nexus of God's Law to this earth upon their arrival. For His is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
