The Bride versus the Synagogue of Satan
January 30, 2008
Now, Solomon built a temple and he called upon Hiram, King of Tyre at a time when God had given Israel rest on every side. Ezekiel describes the King of Tyre as Satan himself (see Ezekiel 28). Solomon called upon him to supply the cut cedars for building material, which he would deliver by way of the sea. In turn, Solomon would fulfill the desires of Hiram by giving him food for his household.
Here we have a picture of the first man-planned, man-made, house-of-worship building project done for God, but done so in partnership with Satan. The cedar provided the cut dead wood, which was combined with tooled stone, cut by man’s hands, all supplied from a satanic source as opposed to being a provision supplied by God.
Still, God’s glory filled the temple and He gave Solomon an important message: “Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments, and walk in them, then I will perform My word with you, which I spoke to your father David. And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel (1 Kings 6:12-13).”
The temple was a thing of compromise from the start, and do not think that God did not know it, for He told King David, who did not understand Him, that He would build a house for His name, and establish an everlasting throne. He would set up a seed from the body of David in order to carry out this promise, after he was dead and gone. David was very much alive to anoint Solomon, king over Israel.
There was no similarity between Solomon’s temple and God’s tabernacle, which was God’s plan, built by His servants, equipped by Him, with gifts of gold beyond that required, coming from the people whom God had blessed as His people Israel. In contrast to this, the Israelite workers were trained by Hiram’s men to build the temple according to his instructions and not those of God.
Satan’s desire was fulfilled, with the spiritual food of the temple being nothing more than the food, which is a result of a spiritual compromise with religion. This would most certainly serve Satan’s household very well, but it would not serve the household of God.
Religious idolatry results from the crack in the structure, which compromise always provides for Satan to gain a foothold in any move God makes with His people Israel. But it must be remembered that building a temple was the idea of King David, Solomon’s father, and did not originate with God but rather with a man, well-intentioned, but without understanding.
And thus, with the first house of worship built in Israel, Satan put his foot in the door, ultimately leading to the future building of synagogues of Satan, full of the leaven of the Pharisees. This was a far cry from the tender branch of the high cedar, which will be cropped and planted by the Lord as live wood on a high and prominent mountain (see Ezekiel, chapter 17). This branch shall bear fruit and become a majestic cedar.
Solomon had the inheritance of his father’s throne ripped away from him for bringing religious idolatry into the Land and into the house the king had chosen to build for God. Jesus changed all of that, for He had no part in the synagogues of Satan ruled over by the Pharisees, the Roman-appointed priesthood of His day. Jesus built the church with live wood and living stones, which no tool of man had any part in cutting and shaping.
He allowed none of the priesthood to place their religious tools on His stones. He was the Chief Cornerstone, which is a huge immoveable rock. It was upon this rock foundation He built His church of rolling stones, being mobile to move as He commanded them. They were always subject to the solid rock foundation of truth. For Jesus was the Truth, the Word made flesh, and the only way to eternal life.
Religion was at the heart of the antichrist spirit, belonging in the synagogues with the Pharisees, to whom Jesus referred as being sons of their father, the devil.
The Lord sent out His church of stones, solid in the truth, on Roman roads to evangelize the entire world. Satan could not stop the truth, so he joined it from his empirical seat in Rome. He infiltrated it and took it captive to the religion of Christianity with the same Roman-appointed style of high priesthood, which flourished in Israel during the time of Jesus. We now had another antichrist Roman high priest, who declared himself to be inerrant in his desire to be worshiped like Jesus. To this day the pope of Roman Catholicism is worshiped as a pagan god.
It is now time for the bride, the woman in the true line of Mary, birthing the good fruit of the Spirit, to be revived and restored to her former apostolic state, just as Lazarus was called forth from death into his former state of life. She must become the other part, the female branch of the cedars or house of David, the tender branch, which will carry out the Great Commission of the Lord to His church.
She is as one planted by the waters, fruitful and full of branches, not to be plucked up and not to become victimized by the east wind, but rather to become a scepter for ruling, which Israel and spiritual Israel failed to be (see Ezekiel 19:10-14). This is one lady who will not be compromised by Satan. She will make her exodus from the religious system, never to return there again and will stand only on the truth.
Satan’s counterfeit of her is the radical feminist movement. How will it function? It will be fanned by the spirit of Jezebel, a very wicked, controlling spirit indeed. She drives the kings of this world to kill people and steal their lands from them. She is the power behind the empire-building nations and the mother of Babylon the Great.
She is the same spirit as that, which entered into Eve, being ultimately responsible for the contamination of the seed of man. She is the reason behind the need for circumcision. She was Jezebel who led her husband, King Ahab, to commit the murder of Naboth and steal his land, which he had inherited from his ancestors.
Such is the spirit taking over America and removing the land of our ancestors who left it to their descendants as an inheritance from their God. It is the spirit of Jezebel behind the scenes causing our rulers to be brain-dead as they force Canadians to turn over their land to pagan infiltrators who want nothing more than to kill God’s people and possess another’s inheritance, claiming it for themselves.
You get the picture, don’t you – no Bibles for the children, no Christmas holiday, and no manger scenes? In its place we will be flooded with Islamic propaganda on the television, especially on Vision TV, while being faced with the public observance of Ramadan on American soil. Parents should be very vigilant that their children are not watching this Islamic propaganda, which fills the Vision channel all day Saturday, when the children are home.
The propaganda has already spread to the classrooms and even to what we now can call our institutional churches – the synagogues of Satan, a derivative of the Solomonic temple. The desire is found within them to be tolerant of all religions, even to the point of coming into unity with them. Hence Solomon’s religious idolatry still flourishes and is alive and well in the heart of Christianity.
Here is what God has to say on the matter while judging His seven churches: To the church of Thyatira – the early church of the church age, after having been taken into captivity to Catholicism and Romanism, He says, “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and beguile My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols (Revelation 2:19-20).”
The church is still alive inside her captivity to religion, but she must break loose to escape Jezebel by standing only on the truth, her proper rock foundation.
But to the church of Philadelphia, which has kept the truth of the Lord and will never deny His name, He says, “Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie – indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you (Revelation 3:9).”
Spiritual harlotry is something Jesus cannot abide. The harlot is full of blasphemy, arrayed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, with a cup in her hand, full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
Need one look past the Catholic priesthood, when the cardinals and pope are gathered in the Vatican for their meetings of election, pomp and ceremony? It is a picture taken straight from the verses of Revelation, chapter 17. All will marvel when they see her for what she is, riding the beast with seven heads and ten horns, the Antichrist incarnate.
At this point, religion will be seen as the tool of Satan used to destroy the souls of man. Once he has captured and destroyed the soul, then he will cast out that which he has broken. But truth is the tool of the Lord Who never destroys His temples, which He has created as a potter creates his vessel with clay and shapes it with his hands to serve his purposes.
The bride of the church must come out and away to settle once again on her rock foundation supported by the Cornerstone. There is no other church of God, only a counterfeit system of religion. Such is the synagogue of Satan, good only to become a pile of rubble full of the hand-cut stones, which first came from Hiram, the King of Tyre.
