The Volumes of Truth: Volume Seven
lyrics
Churches of Men, Hear The Word of The Lord - Section One: The Whole Body is Sick
9/9/09 From The Lord, Our God and Savior
The Word of The Lord Spoken to Timothy
For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear
Thus says The Lord: I have spoken to those who call of themselves Christian, yet they have not discerned. I have written to them by the pen of My prophets, yet they have not perceived. Indeed, they refuse to accept Me as I truly am. For within their churches they worship another god, they teach the people of another messiah, one who looks nothing like Me!
Lo, they seek after the doctrines and traditions of men, which I hate; they embrace them without thought or consideration; behold, they uphold them in MY name! DESECRATION! BLASPHEMY! The whole body is sick, its members wane, for they are covered with the filth of the pagan and dwell gladly in their uncleanness!
For behold, the mother went forth and
Played the harlot; yes, she played the harlot
And reveled in her fornications with the heathen;
She married among the pagans and laid
Down with them in her wickedness...
And behold, she gave birth by her father,
And brought forth many daughters...
In sin she brought forth! In great wickedness
She proliferated all her adulteries
Against both God and man!
She has altogether forsaken Me! Says The Lord. For she does always reject the Spirit of Truth, and will not listen to the counsel of The Holy One of Israel. For she has solidified her way before her, and will not be turned aside!
Behold, she is altogether like one who has committed treason, a self-appointed queen who has endeavored to seat herself upon My throne, deceiving the people, taking much delight in her authority! Behold, like the jackals of the wilderness, which tear the flesh and drag away the carcass, so has she torn the heart of this people; they are far removed! For they are made to dwell in darkness with her, as they lie down with the dead.
Behold, even as the sow devours without reservation, wallowing in its own filth, taking much pleasure in all its uncleanness, so in like manner does she! Yet the sow knows its place, and acts according to the manner in which it was created. Yet it is not so among those who walk in her ways. Behold, even those who rebelled against her, who proclaim they are set apart from her, remain like her, practicing those same things which I said they shall not do! And though they say, “We are not daughters,” daughters they remain.
Thus the harlot shall be torn in pieces! Her flesh shall be eaten, and she shall be burned with fire, as it is written! And all her daughters, yes, all you churches of men, shall be severely abased! Even a great purging shall come forth from within the midst of you; behold, you shall be stripped naked and left desolate in the Great and Terrible Day of The Lord!
