gThe House
of thievesh, by Jeremiah
This time I would
like us to talk about gThe house of thievesh. The churches in End Times will
become a house of thieves and finally get destroyed as consequence. We are
going to take a look at Zechariah 5:1-11.
Zechariah
5:1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying
roll.
5:2 And he said unto me, What seest
thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten
cubits.
All of a sudden, we
read there is a flying roll. What does this mean? The next scripture tells us
that this is the Bible.
Jeremiah 36: 4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the
words of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
The roll contains
the word of God which indicates it is the Bible. Letfs take a look at the next
one.
Zechariah
5:3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one
that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side
according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be
cut off as on that side according to it.
Now, this part
describes one aspect of the Bible; curse. This means it punishes people who steal
it (make false claims). Indeed, the word of God has power to place a judgment
or punishment.
Zechariah
5:4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts,
and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the
midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones
thereof.
This describes the judgment and punishment by the word
of God. What does it mean to remain in the midst of his house, and shall
consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof? The Lord often uses
parables as explained below so letfs look at this from the parablefs point of
view.
Psalm
78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
flying roll
<Parable
of Thief>
When we think about
the meaning of thief, the scripture below will give us a clue.
Jeremiah
This scripture
describes that Godfs wrath will be upon the workers who steal the word of God.
They are prophets who are supposed to be workers of God. But they spread the
wrong message instead and this is how stealing the word of God is to be
understood.
<Worders who steal the word of God>
Stealing the word of
God was taking place not just in the time of Jeremiah but also
while Jesus was around. Therefore Jesus accused Pharisees
who were meant to be the workers for God as we can see from the scripture
reference below:
Matthew
16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Pharisees were
teachers and rabbis but they taught the wrong message of God therefore people
couldnft enter the

who made the
Matthew
21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold
and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and
the seats of them that sold doves,
The, Lord mentioned
gye have made it a den of thievesh. He accused thieves but strangely, there is
no actual thief who steals money or valuables. There are sellers of cow and
sheep as well as money exchangers, but not robbers or pocket pickers. So, who
does the Lord call thieves? As you can tell now, it is
those who steal the word of God.
<The
The temple, house of
God will be destroyed because it becomes the house of thieves. Letfs read the
scripture below:
Matthew
24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came
to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
24:2 And
Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily
I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall
not be thrown down.
As this scripture
prophesized, the
<The
house of God in End Times will be destroyed>
Now, Matthew 24, as
we read, has two meanings. This prophesy will be
fulfilled again in End Times. The scripture below seems to prophesize that.
2
Thessalonians 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition;
2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
This part describes
the days when the churches will be destroyed. Letfs take a look.
The scripture tells us
that there is apostasy first. Apostasy means the churches start leaving the
teaching of Christ and the teachings of apostles and prophets are being
forgotten. Even the teaching of Christ is will no longer be taught.
Then, they will
drive Christ out of the throne only to replace Him with anti-Christ as
their god. This is what so that he as God sitteth in the
<The
churches of New Testament will be destroyed because they steal the word of
God>
According to
Revelation, the churches in End Times will be destroyed while the country of
the beast causes chaos. How come the house of God would have to face such
tragedy? The reason is clearly stated in Zechariah; the churches become the
house of thieves. So, the scripture in Zechariah git shall remain in the midst of his house,
and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereofh will be fulfilled and the teachings of
apostles, prophets, and Christ will be removed.
<The
Letfs continue
looking at Zechariah.
Zechariah5:5
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth
forth.
5:6 And I
said, What is it? And he said, This
is an ephah that goeth
forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance
through all the earth.
As you can see from
the scripture below, gan ephah that goeth forthh is about the meat, bread of life, another
words, the word of God.
Numbers
28:5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
the fourth part of an hin of
beaten oil.
Therefore, this
scripture talks about the sin against the word of God.
Zechariah5:7
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and
this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
5:8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the
midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead
upon the mouth thereof.
It describes that a woman is captured in the ephah. The woman symbolizes the church and it implies that
the church will commit sin against the word of God.
Zechariah
5:9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and,
behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had
wings like the wings of a stork:
and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and
the heaven.
A stork, as shown
below, is seen as a cursed bird.
Leviticus
Birds represent
spirit therefore we can see that this woman (church) sins against the word of God
and commands demons. So, who really is this woman?
Zechariah
This states that the
land where the temple is situated is

Therefore we can see
that the woman in Zechariah is the same as
in the book of Revelation.
Revelation
18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is
fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of
every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

<There
are too many doctrines which steal the word of God in modern church>
So, knowing that the
day will come when Christian churches around the world
get destroyed as the consequence of stealing the word of God, what should we do
about this?
It is quite obvious.
You need to throw away the teachings of all kinds of thieves. Pre-rapture
theory and two step rapture theory are the prime examples. The wrath of God is
piling up because of these teachings of thieves and you need to be aware of
that.
