The God Of This World

2 Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.

The Lord of Hosts is whom I believe to be the God of this world. I started studying the Bible about two years ago. And so far everything that I have found in the Bible leads me to believe that when they are talking about the Lord of Hosts in the Bible, they are actually referring to the “Devil”, aka Baphomet, aka Baal, aka Satan, aka the Morning Star. Now I won’t include the name of Lucifer in my list I just rattled off, because I believe that when they are speaking of “Lucifer”, I believe they are speaking of “The Devil’s Son”.

For if you look at the verse in Isaiah 14:12 you will see that they state, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

So we know that the morning star is a name for the Devil, before he lost his status up in heaven. So when we look into all of this a little further we will see where Jesus states In Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

So Jesus is pretty much summing it up in his testimony of his Revelation, that he is the son of the morning star. And all you have to do is watch the hit series “Lucifer”, to see that pretty much the entire world has always referred to the Morning Star as the Devil. For the Devils name in that hit series is Lucifer Morningstar. You can also look to songs such as “Send Me An Angel”, by the Scorpions, to see that it has been many years that people have known and referred to the Devil as the Morning Star.

Now if we look to another verse in Revelation, while Jesus is addressing the 7 churches, we will find that he once again refers to the Morning Star. As he is talking about his father.

Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28 And I will give him the Morning Star.

Jeremiah 19:11 And shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter\’s vessel, so that it can never be mended. Men shall bury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury.

Now if you will look to yet another verse out of Revelation, you will see where Jesus is addressing the church’s once again. In this verse he is talking about how he will make them a pillar in the house of his father. And then states how they will go out no more.

Luke 12:49 “I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Ok with the verse above there is a lot to be said about it. And I am going to try and do this without confusing you too much, I hope!

We have the fact that Jesus is first off stating something about the synagogue of Satan. And this would be those who say they are Jews, and are not. Which is really funny because Jesus taught in the synagogues while he was in Jerusalem spreading the gospel. And every single church they refer to in the book of Revelation seems to have something to do with not being who you say you are, or of Satan or Baal.

Next I will address how he states that he will keep those who follow him from the temptation that will come onto the entire world. Now it sounds all good when you first read it. But if you read this next verse, it starts to sound a little worse.

Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

As you can see from the verse above that someone is saying that this covenant that was made with death will not stand. It states also that the people have made lies their refuge, and they have hidden themselves under falsehoods. I can’t help but feel that this verse is talking about Jesus. Now look at how much it has in common with the 4th horseman.

Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Now it’s like I have been saying. Jesus seems to fit the bill a little too perfect for a lot of these things they speak about. When the 4 horsemen come into the scene it’s a domino effect that keeps happening. The first one is given a crown. Jesus has been named the Messiah. The 2nd one comes in with a sword, to take peace from the earth. Jesus states in the book of Matthew that he is not here to bring peace. He is here with a sword. Then when the 3rd horseman comes in, he brings the balance beams. Meaning that after what has happened there is not much balance left in the world.

Those in power have all of the power. Those who are rich are usually filthy rich. And those who are poor are really poor.

Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

The Living God

So I believe it is the Lord of Hosts who they are speaking of when referring to the living God. If you will start reading it like I am saying with the Lord of Hosts, and the living God being separate from the actual God of the whole world, then it will begin to make more sense.

A Messenger Of Satan

2 Cor 12:7-10 Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of satan to torment me- to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And he has said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of christ may dwell in. me. TYherefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for christ’s sake; for when I am weak then I am strong.

Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

If you will take notice of the above verses and what they are saying concerning messengers. The one above is talking about Paul and the messenger of Satan whom is like a thorn in his side. Now who else would he possibly be talking about??

Philemon 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

Philemon 1:9 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

1 Cor 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

1 Cor 9:16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.

Romans 9:1-3 I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

1 Chronicle 16:23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods.

1 Peter 4:13-14

But rejoice insofar as you share Christ\’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you

Isaiah 9:1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. 2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. 3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. 5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
