DEAD MEN'S BONES
Finale (Part XIV)
Dead Men's Bones has documented the prophetic parallels phenomenon, in that Spiritual Israel is presently re-enacting the primary infraction committed by Old Testament timeline Physical Israel, as they turned away from the LORD, and sought to integrate the Baalim gods into a council of deities which included Yahweh.
Citing the seemingly logical academic rationale that any religious manuscripts that coincide with the time of the writing of the Old Testament are crucial in helping us to understand the transmission of the Scriptures, excavated writings from the ancient near East are especially prized. Further, when religious documents extolling familiar names like Baal and Ashtaroth were discovered, the scholars excitedly took the lead in sequencing the data, and placed the information in what they deduced was the appropriate time frame. The problem, of course, is that scholars have the same problem as the rest of the world, as they also have that flawed human heart, which serves as the receptacle for the ungodly deceit which has plagued our species from the earliest time. As the understanding of antiquities in the Middle East invariably must be synchronized with either the Old Testament, or ancient Egyptian chronologies, the scholars usually seek to anchor newly found records with what they consider to be established timelines drawn from the Egyptian epoch. This means that early sequencing errors that have gone uncorrected are compounded when adjacent histories are linked to them – and this is precisely the case in extra-biblical records which document national histories that were adjacent to Biblical history.
Just as people of faith are faced with supposedly empirical evidence the world is billions of years old (when the far more trustworthy information in the Bible vividly describes a young earth), the individual is faced with choosing which perspective is valid. An untold number of students can testify of how they've been oppressed by biased educators who are versed in Darwinism, and Biblically centered students know they run the risk of failing their geology class if they refuse to conform.
A towering intellect named Immanuel Velikovsky from yesteryear discovered significant errors in the sequence of world history, but because his research validated the veracity of the Bible, he was persecuted and oppressed for the whole of his career as a result of his perceptive understanding. Nevertheless, Velikovsky's prodigious abilities enabled him to produce multiple volumes of revisionist history, notwithstanding the fact the spirit of the age is in a millennia long war against the truth.
As archaeological projects continued to accumulate data concerning ancient peoples and kingdoms, the results were always massaged and manipulated until the consensus worldview assimilated the data – and the errors were perpetuated, compounding an already chaotic understanding of world history. The relevant findings, related to subjects of interest to Biblically literate individuals, are therefore consistently skewed, and the results are usually Spiritually corrosive. In the case of heathen religious documents discovered since the dawn of archaeology and the study of antiquities, cuneiform writings detailing the religion of the ancient Canaanites shows a sophistication and theological maturity which is foreign to the time of the Exodus, but is consistent with antiquarian materials anywhere from 400 to 700 years later.
As the scholars believe the records written and compiled by Moses were codified at a later date than the events themselves, the "experts" – in their demonstrably inaccurate dating efforts, have moved the documents which extol the worship of Baal and Ashtaroth, to a time when they would be the original, and the Biblical Scriptures would be the imitator -- when the opposite is true. What is truly sad is the ease with which the Christian academicians accepted this anomalous worldview, which, in turn, profoundly affected articles of their so called faith. The present day acceptance of the so called Divine Council is the tragic result.
Ironically, those who are Spiritually regenerated in Christ have never needed to discover Christ's empty tomb to believe in the resurrection, and despite scholars telling us Moses supposedly plagiarized writings dedicated to Baal, we can read in the 2nd book of the Bible the LORD instructed Moses to record the story of the Exodus in a book – at a time that could very well be a thousand years before the story of Baal was ever recorded.
"And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua" (Exodus 17:14).
Not long after that, but well before the Israelites entered into Canaan – the land where the Baalist religious histories were alleged to have been written before the Israelites conquered the nation – the Old Testament tells us Moses heeded the LORD's instructions, for it references the writing that God instructed Moses to produce.
"And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient" (Exodus 24:7).
Prophetic theorists, as part of the current generation which is corrupt to the core, posture as though the cumulative research over the last century now yields a refinement of understanding of the things of God. Conversely, our ancient Scriptures themselves do not testify of a surge in understanding and discernment during the end times. The Scriptures do not tell us we will fully recognize how religion was developed, and how God can be proven to exist. The fact is, the Scriptures describe a time, shortly before the end of the age, in which theoretically intelligent people will be so deceived they will turn away from the truth.
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22).
Instead of telling us the people the LORD selected to embody His words to the rest of human kind will intensely follow His instruction set (because their "scholarship" progressed to the degree they've gained a balanced understanding of history), the Scriptures predict that those who should have known better will be deceived to the degree that they arrange to brutally execute the Son of God who loved them.
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not" (Isaiah 53:3).
Instead of telling us that mankind will progressively draw near to God because of our ability to assimilate and wisely apply knowledge to our circumstances, the Word of God tells us the Christians will recapitulate the ancient sin of Israel, and turn away from the LORD and embrace lies.
"And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables" (II Timothy 4:4).
As we've labored to point out, the primary temptation of ancient Israel was related to the incessant pull towards following the multiple deities collectively labeled the Baalim and the Ashtaroth. Further, as the present work has sought to establish, the flawed Divine Council Paradigm is largely dominated by documents which prominently feature Baal – thus confirming the dual fulfillment formula our ministry has dubbed Twin Timelines.
Moreover, in earlier writings we have repeatedly asserted that theological error is never random. In this regard, we point out the Greek word rendered error in our New Testament, is rendered delusion in other verses, and it is the LORD Himself who delivers that delusion to those He deems it appropriate.
"And for this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie….because they received not the love of the truth" (II Thessalonians 2: 11, 10).
This means it is a deluding error, which the LORD Himself sends, to those who are perishing, when they refuse the Spirit which would draw them to the truth, "that they might be saved." This fulfills an Old Testament prophecy, which speaks of a time of desolation, which occurs in the LORD's interactions with mankind.
"I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not" (Isaiah 66:4).
Since these texts tell us the LORD chooses their delusions – a word that is synonymous with error – we can see that error is definitely non-random. Therefore, as we pick up the trail of prophetic fulfillment in our time, we can anticipate the course in which these errors will proceed. One of the hidden facets of the Divine Council Paradigm is the implication that, even though the fallen angels ("gods" or elohim in the text) crossed over into evil, and sought the worship due the LORD, God supposedly continues to provide a venue in which they can interact with Him.
This is, of course, contrary to what the New Testament tells us, for the Bible does not indicate the fallen angels are engaged in some ungodly assembly managed by the LORD. Instead, the Word of God, which has been published for many centuries, clearly indicates these fallen ones are (or were) bound in supernatural restraints.
"God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment" (II Peter 2:4).
This means that when the LORD removed "the sons of God" who intervened in human history by breeding with the "daughters of men" (Genesis 6:2, 4), the culprits forfeited their standing as the sons of God. Further, they were not replaced by Israel, as Israel was not comprised of non-fallen angels. The inheritance of the fallen angels, as the sons of God, was superseded by the subsequent covenant God made with flesh and blood Israel, who were then clearly identified as the sons of God in Scripture.
"Ye are the sons of the living God" (Hosea 1:10).
Just as Esau's foolish course of action greatly benefitted his brother Jacob (who was subsequently chosen by the LORD to become Israel), the window of opportunity for Esau expired, and he could never again obtain the eternal inheritance he once threw away.
"Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears" (Hebrews 12:16, 17).
Just as Jacob did not share the status of Israel with Esau, the blessing of the angelic sons of God who sinned cannot continue concurrently with Israel's anointed position as the sons of God under the Old covenant. Once again, Israel did not replace the fallen ones; their blessing as the children of God superseded the blessing of the fallen angels who forfeited the enormous honour of being called the LORD's children. It is the same way with the Spiritually reborn sons of God in Christ, who rejoiced at inheriting the birthright, when the physical Israelites repeated the pattern.
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (I John 3:1).
In another example of the shadow and the substance, the LORD speaks of how the sacred honour of being chosen by God should be decisively embraced, as the Israelites were told to eat the Passover lamb with great haste, while the offer was still valid.
"And thus shall ye [consume the Passover lamb]; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste" (Exodus 12:11).
When one of his disciples wanted to put off following the Lamb of God, in order to bury a family member, the LORD told him not to hesitate.
"But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead" (Matthew 8:22).
When the Apostle Paul compared Old Covenant Israel to a cultivated Olive Tree, and the Gentiles to a wild tree whose branches were later grafted in to God's plan for salvation, the former Pharisee cautioned the Gentiles concerning the truly sacred nature of being allowed in to the LORD's kingdom.
"For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God; on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off" (Romans 11:21, 22).
We could make the same analogy regarding the devilish angels who corrupted the world – an offense resulting in the LORD bringing the great flood, when every man, woman, and child (except the Remnant in the ark) -- was executed. In the light of the scope of this catastrophic judgment, it is completely illogical to think that flesh and blood Israel would adamantly insist the LORD bequeath a portion of their inheritance to the fallen angels, because they were formerly the sons of God.
And yet, through Israel's recurring embrace of the Baalim and the Ashtaroth devils, that's exactly what happened. As we've already seen, the Scriptures document how King Solomon integrated the worship of Baal and Ashtaroth into the magnificent temple of the LORD – and the subsequent ruin of Israel.
In view of the documented pattern of Twin Timelines, the analogies are clear. When the fallen angels found themselves cut off from their standing as the sons of God, using political intrigue and murder, the flesh and blood vessels hosting them exerted their remaining power in the Spiritual dimension to influence their successors to mingle the religion of the Gentiles, with that of the LORD, as they sought to reclaim their lost birthright.
When the descendants of Esau – known as the Edomites and the Idumaeans -- found themselves cut off from their standing as the descendants of Israel known as the Jews, utilizing political intrigue and murder, they sought to be counted as Jews through the Idumaean King Herod.
When the seventy rulers of the Jerusalem ruling council known as the Sanhedrin saw that Jesus would be proclaimed the King of the Jews by the populace in Matthew 21:15, using political intrigue and murder, they sought to retain their position through the prosecution and execution of the Nazarene.
When the Sanhedrin saw that even the grave could not hold Christ, the devils who inhabited them drove them to join the Christians, and try to mingle the religion of the Jews with the Gospel in Acts 15:1, as they sought to reclaim their lost birthright.
When the Apostle Paul demonstrated that scholarship apart from the Spiritual life of Christ (his "much learning" in Acts 26:24), should be thought of as "dung" in Philippians 3:8, the Jews vowed to kill him in Acts 23:12, as they sought to reclaim their lost birthright.
As the New Testament conclusively shows the Christians are the "Israel of God" in Galatians 6:16 and the "light of the world" in Matthew 5:14, the Baalim devils, through the flesh and blood vessels hosting them in the Christian body, are seeking to replace the mediation of Spiritual Israel shining the light of God to the Spiritual Gentiles, as they are still seeking to reclaim their lost birthright.
However, the salvation in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, is unique, and eternal, and it is without end for those whom He has chosen.
"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (I Timothy 2:5).
As the Scripture says, to everything there is a season – and as this world is indeed passing away, we would all do well to recognize today is the day to declare the acceptable year of the Lord.
"We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (II Corinthians 6:1, 2). --- James Lloyd
