TEXT: 2 KINGS 15: 29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria. (KJV)

The Bible warns in various angles with many expressions that the end time church will be degenerated, distorted and degraded.

That is to say, they are destruction of the city and the Temple, and the people to be made like beasts. One of the expressions is that the people are carried captive. The dynasty of Judah, the blood line of David, was defeated by their enemy Babylon and destroyed. And at last they who dwelled in the land of their ancestors, the Promised Land, were carried captive to the foreign land, Babylon. This is the sign for the God’s people to be carried captive in the end time. Let’s look at that.

Let’s look at the text.

TEXT: 2 KINGS 15: 29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria. (KJV)

Northern Israel is the sign for the Catholic. It is written Northern Israel was this day carried captive by Assyria. The whole land of Israel was occupied by Assyria and they were carried captive. The land where many mighty fathers did good jobs was also occupied by the enemy. For example, it is written about Gilead occupied by them as below.

JUDGES 11: 1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of and harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah. (KJV)

Gilead, the land of this mighty man Jephthah, was also robbed by the enemy. The present Catholic is the same. The martyrdom of the twenty six saints happened in Nagasaki a little later since the Christianity arrived in Japan is the story of mighty Christians. But, now, the Catholic people who should have succeeded them boast their distorted lies such as, “The Bible is just a myth. Buddhists can be saved. God is not intolerant Person.” How can they be said as the sons of faith of the twenty six saints who devoted their lives to refuse the conversion. As the land of Gilead was robbed by the enemy, the land that the fathers of faith defended bravely is now taken by the enemy.

1 CHRONICLES 5: 26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul (division) king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser (uncover wonderful covenant) king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah (pain), and Habor (unite), and Hara (mountain), and to the river Gozan (separate), unto this day. (KJV)

There is here also the description of Northern Israel, the Catholic now, carried captive. Because of their faithlessness, “the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul (division) king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser (uncover wonderful covenant) king of Assyria.” The Catholic and the Protestant now are also carried away far from the land where they should be because of their faithlessness.

So, let’s take heed never to be deceived. God is not such a Person who forgives sins haphazardly as some people distorting the Word say, or who is like a friend of thieves and liars who always enjoy saying lies like, “Genesis is a myth.” Conversely, it is written a Person who never leave it not to be punished, isn’t it?

It is written, “the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul (division) king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser (uncover wonderful covenantt) king of Assyria.” Pul means division. There is definite division between those carried captive and others not. The one will inherit the Kingdom and the other not.

The other means those who were the foolish ones who heard the word of the serpent and forsook the Word of God like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and they will not inherit the eternal life as Adam and the other did not receive the fruit of the Tree of Life which symbolized the eternal life. Those liars beginning with teachers and Pope say, “There is no hell,” but the people who accept such a lie will eventually go to the same destination as the foolish ancestors in the Garden of Eden.

And, Tilgathpilneser means that you uncover a wonderful covenant. A wonderful covenant should be the one that the Lord redeems us Christians. But, the enemy of this name attacked the God’s people Israel that day and carried captive to far country. The deceived God’s people will be put out of this wonderful covenant in the end time, too. They will be brought to the land of Halah, that is, pain, and Habor, that is, to unite with this world, and to the river Gozan, that is, to the land separated from the water of life.

2 KINGS 25: 21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land. (KJV)

It is written here about Judah that was carried away. I believe Judah is the sign for the Protestant now.

It is here told of them to be carried away. So, the Protestant will also be carried away. There are some people who are already carried away. Those who say such as historical Jesus, Q materials, Genesis being a myth, are, plainly speaking, already carried away. Such people are no more in the land of their fathers.

They will be killed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Hamath means a fort which is most strongly built to defend their city and houses against the enemies attacking them. But, the fort was robbed and they were killed.

It suggests that the most firm people and gatherings are robbed and killed by the enemies. For example, the charismatic and Pentecostal people are the most eager and faithful ones among the Protestant, aren’t they? But they are completely taken to the revivals of beast.

And, the people of Judah were slain at Riblah (fertile land). The Homepage “The Horn” says that seminaries where many good things should be taught are already in the enemy’s hand and some dubious people have slipped among the theologians. Surely the fertile land of the church is put into their hands.

And, it is written, “So Judah was carried away out of their land.” So, do firmly understand that the Protestant churches of various denominations will be carried away and become ones who have no relation to the Promised Land given to their fathers, that is, ones who will not inherit the Kingdom.

Both the Catholic and the Protestant will be carried away from the land where they should be and become as beasts. The beast having two horns like a lamb on Revelation refers to the two churches made like beasts in the end time. They are totally carried away and made like beats.

They have thoroughly accepted the theory of evolution, that is, the idea that men and beasts are the same kinds, and agreed that they are beats.

2 KINGS 24: 14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land. (KJV)

It is written here that all Jerusalem was carried away. They were carried captive from the territory of God’s people to the confused land of the Gentiles, Babylon, and lived there. The generation that was shifted to Babyblon was very special, and totally different from the fathers. And, that is about to come upon the present generation. It is written, “all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour.” So, all famous workers and powerful saints of the Christian churches will be carried captive. It is written, “all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained.” What does that mean? For example, smiths produce swords and spears. These are metaphors of the Word. Therefore, it says that all present theologians and teachers of the Bible will be also carried captive. It is suggestive, “save the poorest sort of the people of the land.” The poorest is linked to the word in the Gospel, “Blessed be ye poor.” And, it is contrasted to the rich young man. He is rich in works, answering, “All these things have I kept from my youth up.” So, the poorest refers to those who have no other hope but in the Lord with difficulty to work. They will remain not to be carried captive.

EZRA 5: 12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon. (KJV)

The captivity to Babylon happened in the days of the Old Testament was because they “had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath.” Likewise, captivity of God’s people to Babylon in the end time will be because they provoke the God of heaven to wrath. We should return to the Lord.

As I repeat, one of the features of the God’s people in the end time is that they will be carried captive. It is important to hear the warning in this thing.

Let’s do the will of the Lord in the end time.

End.
