An understanding of Rebellion

 An understanding of Rebellion

Deuteronomy 31: 26-30

"Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of YHVH your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against YHVH; and how much more after my death?

Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.

For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of YHVH, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended."

Isaiah 48:1-5

"Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of YHVH, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.

For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; YHVH of hosts is his name.

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them."

Isaiah 6:9-13

"And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Then said I, YHVH, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

And YHVH have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."

2 Timothy 4:3-4

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."

The choice of words of the Holy Word is precise. Most often these are not just symbolic pictures: they are definite descriptions of things that people can feel and experience. The Word gives us palpable means to know if we stand true to our path or if we deviate from it. The wage of sin is death, it's course is disease and it's agents are demons. When demons penetrate our body to influence us, once they have acquired the right to do so by our sins, they cause definite symptoms. We are all surrounded by vectors of demonic influence in this corrupt age, we all have sinned and we all have experienced at least once a few of the  symptoms in this article.

Like a stiff neck, often painful, sometimes also back of the head ache: this is a big hitchhiker attachment point: 3rd vertebral bone. Penetrating the spine. "For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck". Cause and consequence. Influencing the decision making by rebellious thoughts. And you have accepted it and acted upon them. Now the neck is stiff as wood. How many people do you know that complain about neck pain? Do they ever change their behavior? What is the demonic vector in their lives that leads then to rebellion, the one that they refuse to acknowledge? What are they hooked into? Are they really striving to live a sinless life in Christ or are they just drudging through the world of material gratifications and things to do? That tells a lot where their attention is really focused, not where they tell you it's focused. See, people really believe that what they say is real. If they say they are Christians, that they really are Christians. The truth is, it's one what ones says, it's what one does. Are you like this? How is that neck doing? Off course, you have an appointment with the doctor, he can sedate the pain, but can he pardon sins? Can he make you repent from what is causing? Can he show you the sin you have to confess to Dad? Oh but you doing everything right, aren't you? Because that's exactly the problem, you aren't. And the body is showing you. You have to acknowledge it first, then STOP DOING IT and ask Christ for deliverance. Then the neck will soften. That's how real healing works out, we can only ameliorate symptoms with external medicine, not solve the spiritual issue behind.

What about a heavy heart. Is your heart hardened? Was it made fat by the refusal to understand the holy way? You don't like what you hear, you don't want to give up on your plans, do you? Do you step over anyone that threatens your petty dreams? See no evil, hear no evil, everything will be all right, just push it forward harder, trample everything you don't like. The problem is always the dammed others, right? They just keep getting in your way. But then comes the anxiety. It makes it hard to breath. It comes at night, specially during witches sabbaths and full moons. You should see a cardiologist, you think. The problem of a hardened heart is that as it empties itself of the spirit of love, of understanding of others, to pursue ego vanities, it fills itself with the spirit of FEAR. Both can't inhabit the same place. You either trust Dad and his loving ways or you will trust the night terrors. And money, money is always the crutch of the faithless. Any problem, just throw more money on it and it goes away. Like make up, just hide the ugly. But then you have work yourself harder to keep it all from falling apart. Just push it even harder. Again, confession, repentance and deliverance is the only standing cure.

See these are only two definite signs that one is straying away from the holy path into vain pursuits. And the sad truth is: MOST CAN'T STAND TO HEAR ABOUT THIS. They just can't, it's exactly why they are the way they are. They can't endure sound doctrine. They want feel good doctrine. Ok, but then, the cities are going to be made wasted without inhabitants. Then, a rest will confess, repent and be delivered, convert and be healed. Until then, then sickness remains. If you are straying away from the path, there is still time to return. There is always time as long as one draws a breath. Make good use of it. Before the land is made utterly desolate.
