The “thief” comes in secretly among us in order to bring us into their church bondage of decay. They come to steal and to kill and to destroy....that is their "dominion"...their kingdoms..as they rule over MANY.
John 10:10 KJV
(10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
They handle the Word of God deceitfully as they preach after their hidden covetousness…..the abomination of desolation. They preach good words and fair speeches in order to deceive the hearts of the simple who get flattered into joining their churches where NO FLESH is being saved. ALL of those who are keeping company with them are of ONE FLESH….ONE BODY and are perishing away in decay unto the grave. They wrest the Scriptures unto their own destruction of the mortal flesh.
Their flattering tongues are the “strange woman” that we are to stay away from. We are to DO HIS WILL so that we may keep away or be delivered from them….for their end leads to the death of our mortal bodies without the life of Jesus being made manifest in our mortal flesh in the here and now.
Proverbs 5:1-13 KJV
(1) My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
(2) That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
(3) For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
(4) But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
(5) Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
(6) Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
(7) Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
We MUST remove our way FAR from them and come not near the door of their house lest we give our honor unto others and our years unto the cruel and they are filled with our wealth and labor only in their house until our death.
(8) Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
(9) Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
(10) Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
We shall perish in their corruption…in the decay of our mortal body if we sit with them. We become ONE FLESH if we keep company with them. NO FLESH is being saved in any of men’s churches and so should be a MAJOR RED FLAG to stay away. They deny that Jesus IS COME in our mortal flesh as they preach we physically die. Death is not “blessed”. Death is NOT A FRIEND but an ENEMY to be triumphed over in the Lord. Our Lord IS ALIVE NOW and so we are to have His LIFE NOW ….appearing in our mortal flesh which gives us “eternal life”. Why give our honor to others?
(11) And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
(12) And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
(13) And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
They lead us away from the keeping of the Holy Commandment (to have love for one another) and into their denominations of envy, strife and hatred of one another. They take away the keeping of the “daily sacrifice” out of our lives so that the life of Jesus is never made manifest in our mortal flesh which gives us “eternal life”.
Jude and Peter both call them “brute beasts”
Most bible translations would have us read that the “natural brute beasts” were made to be taken and destroyed in 2 Peter 2:12 when they should read that they were made to DO THESE THINGS: to take and destroy (in the Greek: DECAY) their prey….and we are their prey.
The “natural brute beasts” are born to catch and decay people (to take and destroy their prey). 2 Peter 2:12 is saying here that these beasts are born to take and destroy their prey….NOT made to be taken and destroyed.
This is explaining their purpose for being born. Their natural instinct that they are born with is to CATCH AND DESTROY their prey. WE are their “prey” that they are taking and destroying with their great swelling words of emptiness as they follow after the lusts of their hearts. The life of Jesus is not being made manifest in any of their followers’ flesh as they all are decaying away in their mortal flesh to the grave. The “natural brute beast” are also decaying away themselves and taking MANY, MANY down with them…down the wide path to the destruction of the flesh.
2 Peter 2:12 KJV
(12) But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
As a roaring lion and a ranging bear is a wicked ruler over the poor people. MANY are being led astray by them in their churches. They are “natural brute beasts”…having no understanding. They go after their prey like the brute beasts: lions, bear, leopards..
Proverbs 28:15-17 KJV
(15) As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
(16) The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
They are preventing the life of Jesus from being made manifest in our mortal flesh by leading us astray with their flattering words. They are leading MANY down the broad path to the destruction of the mortal flesh....doing "violence to the blood"of their followers.
(17) A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
They are “dreamers” who are doing these things….
Jude 1:8 KJV
(8) Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
They are “raging waves of the sea foaming out their own shame”….
Jude 1:13 KJV
(13) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
It is no coincidence that Daniel had a “dream” in the night and wrote of it for he wrote about these “dreamers”….these “natural brute beasts” (the four beasts that rise up) who are born to catch and destroy their prey. WE are their prey that are caught and decayed by their flattering words if we fall “asleep” in the “night”….forgetting to let brotherly love continue. Can we not watch with Him for an “hour”? if we fall “asleep”, then they have power to deceive us and lead us astray unto the destruction of our flesh….their “hour” of the power of darkness. As Jude says, they are “dreamers”….
Daniel 7:1-23 KJV
(1) In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
They are “raging waves of the sea foaming out their own shame” and we are blown about by every wind of doctrine taught by them. Their dominion is to consume and destroy us. The thief comes in secretly among us to steal, kill and destroy. Like a “leopard” with its spots, these are spots among us.
(2) Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
(3) And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
They are “natural brute beasts”….irrational animals….that are sensual and not having the Spirit (as the “wings” were scraped off the lion). They follow after their lusts…walking as men after their lusts of the heart. These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Like a lion, they come to conquer and capture their prey. They seek whom they may devour. The heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? He walks after the lusts of his heart as an earthly man and speaks earthly things. They don’t mind the things of God but the things of men. A lion is a natural brute beast whose instinct is to go after their prey.
(4) The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
They defile the mortal flesh….as said to (to the natural brute beast) the bear: “arise, devour MUCH FLESH”. These “natural, irrational beasts” (who do not have the Spirit) are born to destroy the flesh of men who are led astray by them. Like a ranging bear is a wicked church ruler over the “poor”.
The bear “raised up itself” on one side and had 3 ribs in the mouth of it. The 3 ribs represent 3 men as spoken of in Jude who did RISE up: Cain “rose up” against his brother Abel in the field and killed him (Genesis 4:8)…hating our brothers is murder, Korah and company TOOK and “rose up” against Moses (Numbers 16:1-2)…despising government, and Balaam “rose up” to greedily go after the reward of unrighteousness (Numbers 22:21).
(5) And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
The “natural brute beasts” that are born to catch and destroy men are like the stealthy “leopard” with its spots. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceiving while they feast with us. These “spots” among us have crept in unawares (the 4 wings of a fowl). Their sins are hidden from view…the “spots” are completely covered by the 4 wings…as they speak good sounding words and fair speeches in order to deceive the simple of heart. These “spots” among us can not cease from sin enticing unstable souls, having hearts exercised in covetousnesses.
Like stealthy leopards…. these certain men have crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. They are given dominion over all peoples, multitudes, nations, languages in every direction. MANY follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth is evil spoken of. The world blasphemes the Way of righteousness because of what they see going on in the churches of carnal men.
(6) After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
