Counterfeit Christianity – Part II – Leviathan: The King of the World

“Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?” – Job 41:3 KJV

Holding a person’s qualities and abilities in admiration makes him a respecter of persons, however there is none to his likeness a how courageous is he to stand in the gap for you against all, saving you he sees himself as serving you. Through vain speech and subtle manipulation, he plays to the person’s pride and hides their sins, never addressing them as not to offend you, thereby snaring you as he slowly becomes your king through flattery and agreeable conversation; playing to your pride and puffing up your ego.

“Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?” – Job 41:5 KJV

Do you exalt thyself receiving the glory and fly high above everyone else in your heart? How about being just a bit eccentric, is your name in lights when you enter the room? This becomes addictive and then you start to notice how many people notice you, savoring the things that be of men and not that of God. Or will you downplay all of such and show a false humility in front of women to indicate you are vulnerable?

Hath thou made a covenant with another King?

“Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant forever?” – Job 41:4 KJV

When the Lord say forever, He means it.

“Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name, have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” – Matthew 7:21-23 KJV

The same make the faith of God to none effect in their lives becoming a worker of inequity; remember, scripture says time and time again these folks are not saved who resist the humility of the Gospel, but persecute those who preach circumcision when such applies to them. For they are offended having their heart waxed cold, hardened against any words that are not pleasant to hear for they have no root of the word within them, having their identity in people and not Jesus yet preaching vainly in his name. Therefore, they make for excuses and respond with accusations of judgment and condemnation against them; giving the devil place through them to pronounce sentence in return, twisting the scripture as the crocked serpent does.

“Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?” – Job 41:5 KJV

Fulfilling the lust of the flesh is biting and consuming one another which is the pride of life is usually how men bond starting this behavior in adolescence; zingers, cut downs, amusing insults back and forth to one another. Making a banquet of Leviathan by feeding off his direction as he molds people to verbally attack the integrity of their ‘friends’ for this is friendship with the word that is not of the Father. This behavior become habit being well developed into adulthood as a form of dominance in social circles as people inherently look for leaders to follow, those with the sharpest tongues part him among the merchants who are always ready to trade up. Fickle in nature due to self-preservation.

“Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?” – Job 41:6-8 KJV

Those who have chosen Leviathan as their king, worshiping themselves blinded by the god of this world that to which they are, will never receive correction by those whom they see to be beneath them. They are foolish being ignorant in the ways of God and not that they do not know the word, they just refuse to honor it. Lay hands upon no man suddenly nor take part of their sins the Apostle Paul told Timothy for to do so ye will remember the battle. Therefore, see that hope of those following leviathan are in vain for he will be betray anyone when it benefits him thinking “the end justifies the means” and “it’s for their own good” Satan hurts, judges, and condemns where Jesus heals, forgives, and encourages. Following in these footsteps leaves no hope for salvation and none for peace. For when he sees you if you don’t feel inferior initially, just wait. For he will look to exert his dominance soon enough. Therefore, in church when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, go into the mountains taking nothing from the house that was built not upon the cornerstone that was rejected.

May ye receive understanding of this mystery giving no place to fables.

“For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And 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: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:7-10 KJV

To overcome such an unseemly beast, ye must refuse to judge one another. The blinding scales of judgment, the weights and balances, upon your eyes will be removed and then you can clearly see to cast out the mote in thy brother’s eye. Through our surrender to Christ in humility He will free us from the bonds of affliction and destroy the scales of judgment with the brightness of His coming and then breath into us His breath whereby we receive power, love, and a sound mind.

“His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.  One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.” – Job 41:15-18 KJV

God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble and we know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump for that’s all it takes to find yourself walking on the broad way instead of the narrow. Nevertheless, through the wantonness of their own hearts they are prone to idolatry chiefly being that of themselves, having a law unto themselves; blinded by their own ambition they become beyond reproach, save for those whom they respect. Nevertheless, they do not receive the love of truth; for to them it is not peaceful and only brings division. This indicates who they call lord for Jesus Christ came not to bring peace but a sword.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” – 1 John 3:8 KJV

When Jesus Christ is the brightest light in your life,
then you are the light of the world.

Be that as it may, we are allowed to stay non-conformant through our free will saying within our hearts “that’s not me” and “I don’t do that” forget not the Lord is not a respecter of persons creating us all with the same challenges to overcome.

“For upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.” – Job 41:33-34 KJV

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you all, God bless and take care.
