Divine Intervention

The Lord's prayer, teaches man to pray for Will of the Father to be done on earth ( See Matthew 6 verse 9 to 15 ).: “...9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11Give us this day our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses....” The Word of God has an answer to all of the World's problems. Events happening on earth right now were foretold thousands of years ago and with microscopic pinpoint accuracy,events are daily unfolding to vindicate the infallibilty and accuracy of the pure unadulterated Word of God. As a sinner saved by the Grace of God , through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I can only point you to the Word of God but it will take DIVINE INTERVENTION AND DIVINE REVELATION TO OPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING TO THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF THE LORD CHRIST. Nobody, no person, no church group , no denomination can convert the heart of any person or make them live a surrendered life to The Lord Jesus Christ. It takes the Grace of God. Man is saved by Grace. ( Ephesians 2 verse 8 to 10 ) . In Ephesians chapter 2,the Apostle Paul is writing to born again Christians and says: “....1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle

wall of partition between us; 15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.....” There is “...the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: ....” ( Ephesians 2 verse 2 ). On this “ course of this world” man is under demonic influence and the prince of the air, the spirit working in the children of disobedience , influences their daily lives, to live a life of rebellion to the Word of God , so that they do everything contrary to the Word of God. Satan has deceived mankind. Satan and his hordes of demons make man sin and sin and sin. Man can break that cycle of sin, sickness , disease and death by repentance from sin and being baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ . ( John 3 verse 1 to 8 ; Matthew 28 verse 18 to 20 ; Acts 2 verse 37 and 38; Acts 4 verse 12; Acts 8 verse 26 to 40 ; Acts 9 ; Acts 10; James 1 verse 21;1 Peter 1 verse 23 etc etc etc ) and and strife to live a life worthy of the gospel Ephesians 4 verse 1 and Colossians 1 verse 10 and to follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God ( Hebrews 12 verse 14 ). Man is a free moral agent. Man can think, can feel, can make choices in life. The decision a man makes in life impacts on his destiny down the road or course that he freely chooses to travel on. For man to make bad choices in life and then try to blame God for the consequences of such choices is wrong and not good. Mankind is not a puppet nor is man a robot. Mankind can do what he wants, he can be the captain of his own destiny. Mankind can make good or bad choices in life that will influence his way of life and the lives of those around him or her. God is very interested in the state of affairs of individuals and nations. God created the heavens and the earth. He is interested in the works of his Creation. Before God does anything on the earth, He will look for a righteous man to “Stand in the Gap” to intercede for the Divine purpose of God to intervene in the affairs of man. There is the Will of God, the will of man and the will of satan. The Will of God is that mankind should live life in abundance. ( John 10 verse 10 ).

The devil is a murder , and a thief and a liar and a deceiver of mankind. “.....10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly....” Man with God is given a better life ,an abundant life, free from sin, free from the fear of sickness and disease, free from the fear of death , hell and the grave because God has not given the Christian a spirit of featr , but of love and of power and of a sound mind.( 2 Timothy 2 verse 7 ). The devil is a thief and a liar and a murderer from the beginning. ( See John 8 verse 42 to 47 : “...42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God......” Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels. Satan's will is to steal, to kill and to destroy. ( John 10 verse 10 ). Satan knows that God is obligated to His Word so satan does what he does through philosophy and vain deceit to turn man away from reliance on the Word of God so that man to prevent man from submitting freely to the Will of God.

I looked for a man to stand in the gap ( Ezekeil 13 verses 1 to 5 and Ezekiel 22 verse 30 ). Surely the Lord God will do nothing except He reveal it first to his servants the prophets. ( Amos 3 verse 7 ). Between Genesis 1 verse 1 and Genesis 1 verse 2 there was a first judgement when satan was kicked out heaven. The Bible is the pure unadulterated Word of God. God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all. ( 1 John 1 verse 5 ). In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God .( John 1 verse 1 ) .In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. ( Genesis 1 verse 1 ). Something happened between Genesis 1 verse 1 and Genesis 1 verse 2 . There was a judgement that is why the earth was without form and void. ( Genesis 1 verse 2; Jeremiah 4 verse 23 to 25 ). Lucifer was in the garden of Eden as the anointed cherub. ( Ezekiel 28 verse 13 to 15 ) . Satan, Lucifer wanted to be like God, the Most high (Isaiah 14 verse 12 to 15 ). Lucifer was judged and was cast out of heaven like lightening. ( Luke 10 verse 18 ). Satan took with him a third of the angelic host.( Revelation 12 verse 3 to 12 ).

Lucifer led a rebellion in heaven . Lucifer lost the battle and was cast out of heaven. Lucifer , the prince of darkness was separated from God's presence. There was a separation. The Holy God cannot let sin and rebellion and darkness dwell in His presence. “...God is Light, and in him is no darkness at all.....” ( 1 John 1 verse 7 ). Holiness cannot dwell with evil. The light had to separate from the darkness. The Kingdom of God in heaven ( the third heaven ) was separated from the realm of demonic influence. ( There is the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan. The Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Light . The kingdom of satan is the kingdom of darkness. Believers are translated from darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son ( Colossians 1 verse 13).The saints of God the believers have been called out of darkness into His marvelous Light. ( 1 Peter 2 verse 9 ) ) . After the judgement of satan, on planet earth there was blackness “...darkness on the face of the deep...”. Think about an eclipse. Think about volcanic eruptions,clouds of smoke. Judgement. “..Darkness on the face of the deep...” . Chaos. God had to step in and bring ORDER back into HIS CREATION. THERE WAS DIVINE INTERVENTION TO RESTORE THE EARTH BACK TO ITS FORMER STATE. THERE WAS DIVINE INTERVENTION TO BRING ORDER OUT OF CHAOUS, TO SEPARATE LIGHT FROM DARKNESS, TO SEPARATE THE LAND FROM THE WATERS. Satan, had wreaked havoc and chaos and for that he was cast out of heaven. Remember in Genesis 1 verse 1 “ ..In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth...”. THERE IS A FULLSTOP AFTER GENESIS 1 VERSE 1. The FULLSTOP stands for a period of time. How many aeons or millions of years ? We do not know. We are not told. But between Genesis 1 verse 1 and Genesis 1 verse 2 something happened. There was judgement. There was a separation of the Dominion of Light from the dominion of darkness. Then there had to be a time to bring forth order out of chaos. ( Genesis 1 verse 2 ; Jeremiah 4 verse 23 to 25 ; Luke 10 verse 18 ; Revelation 12 verse 3 to 12 ). The seeds were already in the earth. The waters had to recede for the earth to bring forth. The waters receded. The dry land appeared. The clouds dispersed. The sun appeared and shone on the earth. Germination took place. The earth brought forth plants. Then God created the birds,the animals, the fish and sea creatures. Then God created man. God brought forth ORDER out of CHAOS. The water judgement between Genesis 1 verse 1 and Genesis 1 verse 2 because of satan's rebellion in heaven. The second water judgement in Noah's day ( Genesis 6 and Genesis 7 and Genesis 8 ). The oncoming fire judgement ( 2 Peter 3 verse 3 to 12 ). Then God will create a new heaven and a new earth . ( Revelation 21 verse 1 to 8 ). When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden they sowed figleaves to cover their nakedness. Figleaves is a type of religion. The figleaves were rejected. Colossians 2 verses 8 to 10 : “....8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the

tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:.....”. When Cain killed Abel in Genesis chapter 4 , God intervened and spoke to Cain and said in Genesis 4 : “.... 1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 9And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 12When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 13And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. 15And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.....” God revealed Himself to Noah when all flesh had corrupted and the thoughts and imaginations of men's hearts were wicked continually. Noah found Grace in God's sight. Grace is the unmerited favour of God's Love. Noah was a righteous man. ( Genesis 6 ) God revealed His secret to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah to Abraham . ( Genesis 18 and 19 ) . In Genesis 18 verses 17 to 33 , we read : “......17And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 20And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

21I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. 22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 25That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 26And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. 27And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: 28Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 29And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. 30And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. 32And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. 33And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place......” God revealed Himself to Moses in the burning Bush and remembered His Word of Promise to Abraham to deliver the children of Israel out of the bondage. ( Exodus 3 ) God revealed Himself to Elijah the prophet when Israel was polluted with the doctrine of the false prophet sof Baal because of the ungodly and unrighteous reign of Ahab and Jezebel. ( 1 Kings 18 ) Jezebel was the daughter of one of the priest of Astarte. When righteous Naboth was killed because of the false judgement of some kind of a kangaroo court that bowed to the wishes of Jezebel, the Divine Court of Heaven was watching the and recording every word and every action of man's inabilty to carry out righteous judgement. Jezebel's Kangaroo court with the help of the sons of Belial had condemned an innocent man, Naboth, to death ( 1 Kings 21 : 1 Kings 21 1And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 3And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 4And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the

inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 6And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. 7And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 8So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 9And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 10And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 11And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 12They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 13And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. 14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. 15And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 16And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. 17And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. 19And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. 20And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD. 21Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, 22And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin. 23And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. 24Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. 25But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. 26And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 27And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and

put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. 28And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.....” Naboth's murder was avenged in 1 Kings 22 verse 29 to 39 ( for the death of Ahab) and 2 Kings 9 verse 21 for the death of Jezebel : “....1And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead: 2And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber; 3Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not. 4So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead. 5And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain. 6And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel. 7And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. 8For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel: 9And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah: 10And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled. 11Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication. 12And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. 13Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king. 14So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria. 15But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel. 16So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram. 17And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace? 18So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again. 19Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.

20And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously. 21And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many? 23And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah. 24And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. 25Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him; 26Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD. 27But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 28And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. 29And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 30And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. 31And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? 32And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. 33And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. 34And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter. 35And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. 36Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: 37And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.....” WHEN INNOCENT BLOOD IS SHED , THE INNOCENT BLOOD OF MAN CRIES OUT FOR REVENGE AND THERE IS DIVINE INTERVENTION TO AVENGE THAT SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD. ABEL'S BLOOD CRIED OUT FOR VENGEANCE THE BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAKS BETTER THINGS THAN THE BLOOD OF ABEL. ( HEBREWS 12 verse 14 to 29 ). “...14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

17For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. 18For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 21And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 22But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29For our God is a consuming fire.....” Man thinks he can rule the affairs of this world without Divine Intervention but is a miserable failure. The United Nations is a modern tower of

Babel. ( Genesis 11 ).

“...History tells us when men don't like the truth, they get rid of the messenger....” God revealed Himself to Abraham In Acts 17 verse15 to 34 says : “..... 13But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people. 14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still. 15And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed. 16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 18Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. 19And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

20For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. 21(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) 22Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 32And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. 33So Paul departed from among them. 34Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. On your question about philosophy , as you know the word is from the Greek word φιλοσοφία, philosophía, "love of wisdom". In acts 17 verse 13 to 34 we read : “....13But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people. 14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still. 15And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed. 16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 18Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him.

22Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.

( See James 3 verse 13 and 18 : “......13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.....” Satan is a copycat. He is a poor copycat at that. Satan likes to give people fake items in place of the real. The owner of the original Mona Lisa would not want a fake replica of the Mona Lisa from some penny store. Satan is building his own Eden on this earth that has legalized sin, abortion,divorce, same sex unions. In satan's eden, unregenerate man blasphemes the Word of God and scoffs at the righteous. Satan has decieved mankind into a false sense of security before he pushes man almost to the brink of destruction and total annhilation. God will have to intervene and cut the days short to prevent mankind from destroying themselves and this planet. Satan is a usurper, a rebel, his agenda is to kill , to steal, to destroy. ( John 10 verse 10 ). satan is a liar, and the father of liars. In Genesis 3 he entered the serpent and lied to Eve and made Eve sin by doubting the Word of God and by disobedience to the Word of God, the man Adam brought death , destruction ,

sickness and disease to the human race. The philosophy of the devil, or the love of devilish wisdom, tells people that there is no God, blasphemes the Bible, scoffs the creation account of Heaven and earth and all plant and animal life on earth and is tower of babel ( Genesis 11 ) whereby man trusts in his own human endeavour and efforts and wisdom thinking and imagining that mankind can make it through life without submitting to the Authority of the Word of God. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Timothy 2 verses 1 to 6 : “....1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.....” The Bible speaks in many places about how the prayer of the righteous can bring about Divine intervention on earth . Look at the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6 verse 9 to 13 : “... 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11Give us this day our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ...”
