The blood of Christ or Old Wineskins Leaven of Jubilee 98
So the angel thrust his sickle
into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and
threw it into the great winepress of
the wrath of God. Re 14:19 And the winepress was trampled
outside
the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the
horses' bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs. Re 14:20
The kings of Tyre and Babylon were
"harp-playing prostitutes" and they used the things they lusted after
to seduce the people to put them into slavery. The king of Tyre came
"equipped for a musical ministry" and the king of Babylon would go
with "her" harps into Sheol. The end-time Great Harlot will be be
drunk with "new wine" or "the blood of
Christ." And on her forehead a name was
written: MYSTERY, BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF
THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Re 17:5 I saw the woman, drunk with the
blood
(haima
new wine
or the blood of Christ) of the saints and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
Re 17:6 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst
thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the
beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. Re
17:7 "Here is the mind which has
wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the
woman
sits. Re.17:9 The woman may not "sit" upon seven hills or
seven mounts. Rather, she may rest and build her new empire upon
those "little hills" who lift themselves above the plain of all other
evangelists or false teacher: Oros (h3735) or'-os; prob. from an obsol, (to
rise or
"rear"; perh. akin to 142; comp. 3733); a mountain (as
lifting itself above the plain): - hill, mount (-ain) Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly
high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their
glory. Mt.4:8 Jesus warned us not to call any one person our
authority or teacher. This was true because "they took away the key
to knowledge." When the church can busy itself with self-salvation
schemes or building walls or breaking down walls it will always be a
feud among self-seekers who are involved in self-preservation as the
"king of the hills or mountains." When we honor and feud over these
men we have been suckered away from our watchtower and down into
the dark valleys with wineskins, women worship teams and seduction by
"Jubal's" search for ragtag orchestras. Mountain or hill is made up of two
words: Airo (h142) ah'ee-ro; a prim. verb; to lift; by impl. to
take up or away; fig. to raise the voice, keep in suspense (the
mind); spec. to sail
away (i.e. weigh anchor); by Heb.
[comp. 5375] to expiate sin: - away with, bear (up), carry, lift up,
loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take
(away, up). Ornis
(h3733) or'-nis; prob. from a prol. form of the base of 3735; a bird
(as rising in the air), i.e. (spec.) a hen (or female domestic
fowl): - hen. Jubilee 98 will be the tenth king who
dominates the other little horns to receive their kingdom by
approving association with the "final" battle on a "city set on seven
hills" which could be Nashville: And the ten horns which thou sawest
are ten kings, which have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power
(influence or authority) as
kings one hour with the
beast. Re 17:12 These have one mind, and shall give
their power (talent or capacity) and strength unto the beast. Re 17:13
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they
that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. Re
17:14 These little horns (coronet in the Old
Testament) are related to : Karphos
(g2595) kar'-fos; from karpho , (to wither); a
dry twig
or straw: - mote Either how canst thou say to thy
brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine
eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own
eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the
beam out of thine own eye, and then
shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brothers
eye. Lu.6:42 However, our horn will win: And hath raised up an
horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Lu.1:69 This final battle is not the war of the world.
Rather, it is the war of the
words. The battle is from the
Greek" Polemeo (g4170)
pol-em-eh'-o; from 4171; to be
(engaged) in warfare, i.e. to battle (lit. or fig.): - fight, (make)
war. Polemic is
from the Greek "polemikos" and means a war: "to shake,
cause to tremble, dispute, controversial,
argumentative. A polemicist is one
"skilled in making war." (Webster) And they worshipped the dragon
(fabulous and
fascinating) which gave power unto the
beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the
beast? who is able to make war with him? Re.13:4 And there was given unto him a
mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him
to continue forty and two months. Re 13:5 And he opened his mouth in
blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and
them that dwell in heaven. Re 13:6 And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs
come out of the mouth (edge of a weapon)of the dragon, and out of the
mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. Re
16:13 "Quacks were represented
as frogs
and were associated metaphorically with serpents." (Vine)
The Restoration goal is to constantly look at
our beliefs and if we find "leaven" we purge it out. We do not,
however, just make the "tent" big enough for the "camel" to get all
of the way in. To Elihu, the message was not wine but it was
like
wine. If we properly understand the symbol we will not seek
artificial ways of "exhilarating" the crowd with charismatic,
arm-slinging preaching or with music which makes an ugly boy seem
beautiful. Rather, we will be so full of the Word of God that we will
speak it. Because Jesus was speaking in parables, Vine
notes that to the true listeners, if the "wine" begins to bubble and
churn and the bread molds then some unauthorized agent has put leaven
into the gospel or kingdom and it will destroy itself -- "that the
kingdom of heaven is likened to leaven, does not mean that the
Kingdom is leaven. The same statement,
as made in other parables, show that it is the whole parable which
constitutes the similitude of the Kingdom; the history of Christendom
confirms the fact that the pure meal of the doctrine of Christ has been
adulterated with error." "Leaven was forbidden in
all offerings to the Lord by fire, (Lev. 2:11; 6:17). Being bred of
corruption and spreading through the mass of that in which it is
mixed, and therefore symbolizing the pervasive character of evil,
leaven was
utterly inconsistent in offerings which typified the propitiatory
sacrifice of Christ." (Vine's on
Leaven, p. 667). The kingdom spreads like leaven. This is
clearly a parable. That is, it does not grow like a tree which needs
a bigger and bigger forest to hold it. Rather, each yeast cell breaks
off and grows a new batch. T his was a Parable. Real leaven, on the
other hand, has always been a symbol of evil. It was forbidden in
that which was offered to God and it was forbidden in the
wine: "The great mass of the Jews have
ever understood this prohibition as
extending to fermented wine, or strong
drink, as well as to bread. The word is essentially the same which
designates the fermentation of bread and that of liquors." (Dr. S. M.
Issacs, a Jewish rabbi of the last century, quoted by Patton, p.
83). Vine agrees with Albert Barnes that fully
fermented wine was the strong drink of the Jews while the "wine" of
of spiritual Jews was unfermented. For instance, Eli told Hannah to
"get rid of your wine" (1 Sam. 1:14). Hannah replied "I am not a base
woman." Why would Jesus suffer and die to establish a "base" religion
or a "birth-defects" religion? Leaven of the Pharisees
Ancient and modern winemakers who wanted to
make wine to get drunk also boiled or fumigated it with sulfur. Then,
they added the carefully preserved wine yeast to make wine rather
than poison. However, because Jesus is our Passover, He warned
against spiritual leaven of any kind -- "Be careful," Jesus said to them.
"Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
Mat 16:6 Why would he say this if fermenting wine and
breaking down the walls next to the Pope is such a good idea? The yeast or leaven had nothing to do with
bread. It was a parable and had to do with the teachings of the Jews.
They had filled the "old wineskin" of Judaism with Canaanite Baalism.
Because Israel rejected God they filled the "skins" from the
vine of Sodom and from the fields of
Gomorrah" (Deut 32:32), the place of
gender-confused men and musical worship. While it was never authorized, when the Jews
lost their kingdom they replaced the blood of bulls and goats which
was replaced with the blood of Christ with fermenting wine from an
old wineskin. By claiming that the gospel and kingdom are new wine in
new wineskins, Jubilee 98 may tamper with the blood of Christ. When
and if that happens we might expect to hear the most outrageous, none
Biblical statements and see the deaf and blind lapping it up like
blood without knowing why. See how the walls are
broken down. Kenneth Sublett
