THE INIQUITY MACHINE

Part II

In our introductory episode of The Iniquity Machine, we sought to show it is a non-corporeal system that is empowered by the twin spirits identified in the Bible as Hell and Death.

"Behold, a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him" (Revelation 6:8).

Obviously, the title term does not describe a physical device, but a system that encompasses the two entities that have plagued humanity ever since the fall of Adam and Eve in the famous garden. 

It is hoped that by using the phrase The Iniquity Machine, we can convey a greater depth to this lethal reality through the imagery the concept conveys.

21^st century computer technology has taught us that a device does not require physical mass to exist, as the concept of a "virtual" machine can now accomplish tasks that previously required substantial physicality.

In the higher dimension universally referred to by the term "spirit," those "that dwell on the earth" (Revelation 13:14) are severely disadvantaged as we cannot see spirits with our physical, earthly eyes. Thus, we are easy prey for malicious entities, unless we become aware of their existence through a higher order of benevolence.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (I Peter 5:8).

Obviously, the devil is not a literal "roaring lion," nor is he visible, but the earthly vessels that are unknowingly under his control are everywhere.

"As ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists" (I John 2:18). 

This introduces the landscape of Scripture, which evidences communication from our creator. Although many writings claim the mantle of "Scripture," the internal evidence has firmly convinced me that only the Holy Bible is just that, and all other claimants to be a communication from God have been found to be wanting.

We believe the ancient Hebrews were profoundly affected by the supreme being, and as such, we exercise faith in the Spirit represented to be the divine author – the God of all things who has repeatedly moved in our midst.

"And [Jesus] said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world" (John 8:23).

In the process of evaluating the claim that JESUS CHRIST is the "door" (John 10:1) to God (as well as the exclusive avenue to the everlasting deity), our faith that He is truly sent by God the Father to redeem lost mankind has been extensively enlarged, through the observation of events in the world that substantiate the Scriptures.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).

Knowing that we can be deceived (and being warned of the primary offender via descriptions of "that wicked" in the Bible – I Thessalonians 2:8), we find the statements of others who came before us more than valid.

"We have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty" (II Peter 1:16). 

That same disciple went on to anticipate our own wariness that we are vulnerable to deception through what the Bible calls "seducing spirits" (I Timothy 4:1), when he said that fulfilled prophecy is "the more sure" methodology of discerning truth – exceeding even what the disciples of Jesus saw with their own eyes,

"We also have a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed" (II Peter 1:19).

Thus, an accurate rendition of fulfilled prophecy directly impacts future events, as once started on the wrong path, it becomes progressively easier to misread prophetic fulfillments as they continue to occur.

For instance, our studies have already determined that Satan seeks to Sequentially Recapitulate patterns of prophecy that the LORD has already inspired – with the fatal flaw that the devil always casts himself in the role of God.

Nowhere is this more prevalent than the current fraud of "the" Antichrist, who is said to negotiate a treaty with the Jewish people – indirectly misleading the Christians into believing physical Israel is still "chosen" – allowing them to rebuild a temple that the fictional character will eventually occupy. 

"So that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (II Thessalonians 2:4).

By misinterpreting the prophecies to "open" the "graves" of His Spiritually dead people Israel after they had turned against Him, when this was conclusively fulfilled in the Born Again redemption of Jesus Christ, the Rapture Cult claims God has not kept His promise to redeem Israel.

"Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel" (Ezekiel 37:12).

This means that true understanding of prophecies of things to come, are closely related to an accurate rendition of prophecies that have already been fulfilled.

Because this prophecy is maliciously twisted into the 1948 return of the Jews to the Middle East (instead of its exemplary fulfillment of Israel's salvation in the generation of Jesus Christ), the Rapture Cult Christians are indirectly denying Christ's identity as the Savior who fulfilled the prophesied salvation of Israel.

"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son" (I John 2:22).

In the Rapture Cult misread of prophecy, although the believers in Jesus Christ are the Spiritual temple of God, the Spirit of Antichrist has moved in to the temple through his deception.

"Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you…[but the Spirit of Antichrist] opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God" (II Thessalonians 2:4).

Scripture categorically states Satan will be deposed when Jesus returns and the devil will be judged; but many are already caught in the deadly misinterpretation of prophecy offered by the Rapture Cult.

"Then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming" (II Thessalonians 2:8).

It is truly tragic for those caught in the Cult, as the Spiritual Sequence of events, which are regularly "doubled" in successive timelines as we have repeatedly shown, has a vivid example of the Spirit of Antichrist entering the temple, and then being ejected by the power of God!

In the Old Testament account of Nehemiah, who prophetically prefigures the person of Christ, he encounters the evil priest Eliashib, who is in charge of the Jewish temple, and he moves in the spirit of the "Hell" that is described in Revelation as "the False Prophet." In the story, Eliashib is in service to Sanballat, who is Nehemiah's primary antagonist in a very precise similitude of Satan.

Because Eliashib's son was married to Sanballat's daughter, Sanballat arranged for Eliashib to allow another servant of Sanballat named Tobiah, to move in to the temple!

Since it was the death penalty for a non-Israelite to even enter the temple, Tobiah represents "Death," which was enabled through the "Hell" of Eliashib's corruption. In short, the two-fold spirits of The Iniquity Machine were at work all the way back in the BC Old Testament era of the Persian Union!

In the conclusion of the tale, Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem and violently removes Tobiah!

"And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber" (Nehemiah 13:7).

Having acquiesced to the power of the Spirit of God in Jesus Christ long ago, we have come to the perspective that the Lord – for whatever reason – chose to reveal to us some very serious information relative to the tactics of Satan, which brings us back to the subject of The Iniquity Machine.

As the rebellious angel who sought to revolt from the Kingdom of God, coveting the control of the dominion that belongs to the Lord, Satan's Spiritual Substance is by its very definition the opposite of the will of our Father in heaven.

Instead of doing the "will" of the LORD as described by Christ regarding His Father in heaven, Satan sought his own Spiritual desires.

"I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will also sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High" (Isaiah 14:13,14). 

In what could be described as reversing the Spiritual Polarity of the "powers of heaven" (Luke 21:26), Satan's gambit essentially lit the fuse of a supernatural fire that is so Spiritually corrosive that if left unchecked, it would eventually destroy all creation.

God could, of course, destroy the fallen angel (formerly known as Lucifer) "in the twinkling of an eye" (I Corinthians 15:52), but Satan's destruction would not retrieve mankind, as the damage resulting from the unrighteousness of the devil is already done. In fact, we have powerful indications that the LORD must destroy the devil and his challenge, in order to preserve the Spiritual Substance that is His divine righteousness.

Thus, "God so loved the world" to such a degree that His divine nature countered the challenge with an escalation of His righteousness, by sending His Son as the agent of redemption, so that "whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

Furthermore, the LORD has chosen to make those He has redeemed among mankind a part of the everlasting righteousness manifested in His Son, so that the increase of His kingdom has no end!

"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" (Isaiah 9:7).

However, the logistics of how the LORD Jesus Christ nullifies the disastrous effects of the Spiritually constructed Iniquity Machine awaits a future chapter in the Apocalypse Chronicles.
