“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Matthew 4: 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

Our soul, the bride, the church should not be the bottomless pit and to change us into heaven, let us repent.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that within us, the bride, the church so that no evil deeds should be there to cleanse us our Lord Jesus Christ fights for us and he is the one that overcomes.

Next, what we will meditate is that Joshua and all the Israelites captured many kings, all of them and their land Joshua captured at one time. The Lord God of Israel fought for Israel. After that, Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal. When Jabin king of Hazor heard these things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph in Joshua 11: 1 – 3 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard these things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph, 

and to the kings who were from the north, in the mountains, in the plain south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west, 

to the Canaanites in the east and in the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the mountains, and the Hivite below Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

He sent people to the ten kings written in the above-mentioned verses. So they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots. And when all these kings had met together, they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel. But the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.” 

So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and they attacked them. And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to Greater Sidon, to the Brook Misrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they attacked them until they left none of them remaining. So Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

My dear people, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, the ten horns what John saw in a vision in the island of Patmos its pattern are the ten kings which is written in the previous portion. It is written that they came together, and they fought against Israel. They are as people with one mind and it is mentioned in Revelation 17: 13. It is written that they will give their power and authority to the beast.

The explanation regarding this is that these are the evil authorities, that is the deeds of the devil which are rising against the ten commandments. They do not allow us to obey the commandments and stop us and do not allow us to follow them and makes us far away from God. Because of this many people are stuck in the pit of hell. These, our Lord Jesus Christ as one who has overcome hell and death rises in our soul. Then they are seen as those who are with Christ. As a pattern for that Joshua at that time took Hazor and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms.

Regarding this, in Joshua 11: 4 – 12 So they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots. 

And when all these kings had met together, they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

But the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.” 

So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and they attacked them. 

And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to Greater Sidon, to the Brook Misrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they attacked them until they left none of them remaining. 

So Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms. 

And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was none left breathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire.

So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

The explanation regarding the above-mentioned verses is that regarding the angel of the bottomless pit in Revelation 9: 11 – 21 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 

saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 

So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 

Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. 

And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. 

By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths. 

For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.

But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 

And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

The explanation regarding the above-mentioned verses is that due to the evil deeds that people are doing God is punishing man and it is written regarding these things. The other people who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. God is telling that they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

In this manner, when God says that our soul is like a bottomless pit means the deeds of the giant do not allow us to follow the commandments of the Lord and because it is walking and leading us straight towards evil deeds, so God in our soul by his spirit he is fighting within us. He is doing in this manner and is redeeming many people from the bottomless pit and taking them.

But those who do not believe in him, have not repented leaving their deeds. My dear people, let us hear his voice and leave all evil deeds and to repent let us submit ourselves. 

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
