DIVORCEMENT (Three)

Terrible things are to be expected when one remains bent on a persistence in one’s wrong doing. A wrong spouse is like a one sent on a mission of Satanism. Can it ever be righteous? Some marriages do not mirror the vision and will of God, so, they are billed to hit the rocks. It is quite unlike the marriage between the pristine parents who were made in the likeness and image of God. Jezebel, who ministered Baalism to Israel, was the queen of Israel. She had children for Ahab, the king. The Bible records that the various unrighteous sins of Ahab put together weighed very light compared to the king’s marriage to Jezebel, the Zidonian princess and priestess of Astarte and Baal. That marriage, a goading of Satanism, made to run side by side of true Jehovah worship, destroyed the surviving family of Ahab. Wrong marriages are entrapment of Satanism. Jehu killed all Baal priests that ministered idolatry through Jezebel.Read More

For God is always looking at the bigger picture when it comes to man’s activities, divorce has no place whatsoever in His established institution. Adam thought not, even for a fraction of a second, of the possibility of separation when his wife made him lose his lordship of the entire world. As God’s oracle, Adam knew what marriage was. Adultery is apostatical. Adultery is idolatrous; it is a wicked proclivity of Satanism. God, through the prophetic office of Moses, warned Israel never to worship any other god, save Jehovah. The act of worship gives a picture of conjugation, where the worshipper is seen as the wife, and the worshipped entity is the husband. When one engages in sexual activity with someone who is not one’s spouse, it is seen in the Scriptural court of legality as an adulterous sinfulness. Going away from the LORD God to fall down in the latria before an idol is outright whoredom. This is why God hates adultery and suffers it to be the ground of divorce. Adultery can only be induced through the tampering of Satanism. The wife beater has derailed. That husband continues to scoff at God’s injunction of “Husbands, love thine wives.” His acts insult the marriage institution of the LORD God, thereby becoming unfit for the conjugal cohabitation. The seditiousness of a wife is not different from the derailed man; her decision not to submit, according to the Bible, is a product of stubbornness.Read More

Judaistic propensity had, over many centuries, perverted the marriage institution such that a man might divorce his wife if she displeases him even in the dressing of his victuals. Any flimsy reason that causes an occasion of “if she finds no favour in his (husband’s) eyes” of Deuteronomy 24:1 was Pharisaically enough to put away the wife; and should any man meet another woman and her beauty causes the husband not to find the wife no more pleasing, even if she had borne children, “if she finds no favour in his eyes” is enough to send the wife away. Moses, observing their inability to maintain the sanctity of conjugality, and in his bid to prevent a worse bastardization of the Divine establishment, Moses disallowed a continuance of marital faux pas. The Scriptural facticity remains that, “but from the beginning it was not so.” What, exactly, is this beginning that Jesus is making reference to? The first marriage of Eden consummation was contacted to last forever. Adam never allowed it even to cross his mind to put the Woman, Adam the female, away even though she was the perpetrator of the original sin. The truth, however, is that in the counsel of the Godhead, long before the creation of Adamic beings, the Trinity, having decided to bring the soteriology in partnership with marriage to the Lamb, it must, un rhetorically be divorce-proof.

Of this salvation is this facticity that the teachers of the possibility of loss of salvation fail to acknowledge. This salvation is in actual fact a betrothal to the Divinity. If this be scripturally so, why will God put us away? Two verses before this one reads, “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (Matthew 19:6). Will the LORD God’s Omniscience look for a bride whose marriage to the Second Member of the Godhead will end up in termination? Why should God say, “Amen,” to a conjugation that will not mirror what it is from the beginning? Will God not have failed in keeping His marriage, being the Almighty, if a saved soul loses it? These things Cyprian of Carthage, St. Augustine of Hippo and Jacobus Arminius fail to acknowledge before teaching the possibility of a born again Christian not being able to persevere in the journey of Adamic salvation. Does the Author of the soteriology not asseverate, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28). Can the mortality of my carnal frame carry out any smidgeon of maintenance on this new life in Jesus? If there is something required for my personal sustention of God’s soteriology, it means that I have to continue from where Jesus performed the Golgotha sanguineous sacrificial consummation. The thing is, do I possess the omnipotence that God the Father wielded in the actuation of the soteriological conception? Do I possess the momentum to engage in a personal perseverance?Read More

Augustinian ‘gift of perseverance’ means that only those that God arbitrarily predestined to save will be given the gift to persevere. Why will a good Jehovah God arbitrarily decide to create some people for eternal, hellish damnation? It does not look a smidgeon of the God of the Bible. This is what really happens. God has a faculty that enables Him to see and know absolutely everything that is going to happen. For this simple reason, His Omniscience, knowing who will and will not receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour, those who will do His divine will hear the gospel and be spiritually transformed. It is for the same rationality that God will say, “Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated.” Cyprian argued that each day of Genesis consisted of 1000 years. “The first seven days in the divine arrangement contain seven thousand years” (Treatises 11:11 [A.D. 250]). Does this make any Scriptural sense at all? What does Mosaic Genesis creation days mean by, “And the evening and the morning were the first day?” The same goes for each of the subsequent second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth days. Is this not clearly a twenty-four hour period for each day? What about the Sabbath, seventh day of God’s rest, was it a whole one thousand years of Sabbath rest? Did it take God one thousand years to create Adam and his wife? How does one explain Genesis 7:24 in the light of Cyprian’s each day consisting of 1,000 years? The verse reads, “And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.”Did Cyprian believe that those days were actually one hundred and fifty thousand years of antediluvian rainfall of the great deluge? How can one bring oneself to believe faulty teachers of Scripture when their bases for loss of salvation remain unscriptural?Read More

Long before Arminius, Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) had taught the possibility of losing one’s salvation. Can Saint Augustine who upheld so many unbiblical teachings be trusted? “I should not believe the Gospel except as moved by the authority of the Catholic Church” (St. Augustine, Against the Epistle of Manichaean Called Fundamental, 5, 6). Can Catholicism be more authoritative than the Bible? In fashioning purgatorial establishment of Catholicism, “Temporal punishments are suffered by some in this life only, by some after death, by some both here and hereafter, but all of them before that last and strictest judgment. But not all who suffer temporal punishments after death will come to eternal punishments, which are to follow after that judgment” (St. Augustine of Hippo, Father and Doctor of the Church, The City of God). Purgatory runs contrary to Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” so, how can this teaching stand, biblically. Antagonism against security of salvation: it spread like wild fire with the teaching of Jacobus Arminius: he got it from Saint Augustine who also received it from Bishop Cyprian of Carthage (c. 210-258 A.D.), one of the so-called Church Fathers– a creation of Catholicism – of whom many of their teachings uphold the illegitimacy of Popery headship of the universal body of Christ. Cyprian believed in infant baptism and infant communion. Cyprian however spoke against the efficiency of baptism done by heretics and insisted on their rebaptism, and he believed that the Eucharist cannot be properly consecrated outside the church. The Catholic Church believes that at the water baptism is when one gets born again, quite contrary to Scripture. Who does one believe, Jesus or the Church Fathers of Catholicism? Has Catholicism more authority than Pauline epistles to the Church?Read More

Honestly, I want to believe that some Christians would want to believe that they did God a favour which, otherwise, would have resulted in the failure which would have chimed reverberations through eternity if they had not stood in the gap of adhering to His call. They probably believe they saved that eternal shame. It will not surprise me if such people think that God would not have had His desire met; and that failure would stare at His Almighty's eternal visage for the rest of His eternal life. They believe they participated in this salvation. Thinking that one has a hand in this Divine salvation leads to believing that this salvation can be lost. Logical trajectory of human cogitation will tend towards the conclusion that a salvation that has human participation can, definitely, slip out of one’s hands if one commits a sin which constitutes a breaking away from God’s covenant. Can salvation be truly insecure? Of salvation, I know of several scriptures that teach irreversibility of soteriology, two of which are Jude 1:1 and 1Corinthians 3:15. Jude makes it clear that this divine salvation is an act of foregoneness. In the eternity past, God the Father had looked into the future; had taken note of those who would, from their hearts, decide to receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour. What did He do, according to Scriptural revelation? He wound round those people, even before the creation of Adam, what the Greek calls hagiazo, setting us apart, from the evil world of Satanism, unto Himself. We were reverentially cleansed even before we got officially regenerated spiritually, in His Majestic sight. Did the LORD God stop there? He did not. He went a spiritual step ahead to tēreō us in the fashion of refrigeratory custody in Christ, ensuring being guarded from loss – this is strictly a matter of divine maintenance of our salvation.Read More

That which counterfeits other ways of salvation is the unresolved lacunary sin question issue in their teachings. The Incarnation of Christ absolutely addresses the annihilating sin question. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3). Everything both unseen and those that allow attraction of perceptibility are the things of Christ’s creative hands. Most definitely, salvation of the soul of man cannot be authored by any other save Jesus. There is no doubt, given what the religious globe leans on, that Nimro-Semiramis (sun/moon worship) is prevalent, probably having more human adherence. It had its commencement in postdiluvian kingdom of Nimrod. After the death of Nimrod, Semiramis, his wife, apotheosized her late husband and she assumed the apotheotic state of the moon goddess; and together with Tammuz, her son, the global sun worship had its own trinity of Satanism. After the fall of Babel this Nimro-Semiramism metamorphosed into its Egyptian version of Osiris, Isis and Horus. Empires after empires that continue to rise up embraced the sun worship. Re is the Egyptian sun god; Surya in Hinduism; Helios among the people of Greece; Sol in the Roman Empire; Mithra in Persia; Utu among the Sumerians; and Shamash in Babylonian and other Semitic areas. As Sol Invictus its worship is the “Unconquered Sun” widely celebrated (globally) on December 25. A subtle acceptance of sun worship is prevalent in Catholicism and the Islamic adoption of the ‘star and the crescent’ religious symbolism (Please, visit my two parts post “THE STAR AND THE CRESCENT (part one)” by clicking on this link: https://hoojewale.wordpress.com/2016/11/22/the-star-and-the-crescent-part-one …).Read More

Let us see Jehovah's reaction to all the sanguinaceous activities of the Temple. "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats" [Isaiah 1:11]. These slaughtering stem from the carnal proclivities of religious insincerity, as far as God is concerned. John 3:13 is laden with so much profundity; "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." There was no way Mohammed could have been what Jesus claims to be here in John 3:13. Only the unique Son of God could perfect this stunt of being present in heaven and on earth simultaneously! Muhammad could not go the whole hog of John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." It entails His Sonship, which Muhammad grossly lacked. An interesting point concerning this religion is that one is never really sure about his salvation. Muslims can do all the right things and still not be saved because Allah may decide to consider you deficient in some way or another that only he knows. With Islam, the only sure way to be in paradise is by inflicting death through jihad (killing, or dying in the defence of Muhammadan faith). It reads in Al-Baqara, the 2nd chapter of the Qur’an verse 62, “Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the Sabians; anyone who believes in God, and believes in the Last Day, and leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.” Where is Jesus in this verse? Is the Author of salvation not missing in Muhammadanism?Read More

The desire to create ways of divine life as envisaged by man’s philosophy points to having received initiation into Satanism. Ophidian creep and pad, into an intelligent mind, is responsible for human philosophical inventions. Without Jesus, one can do anything, absolutely. “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” are the express words from the mouth of Jesus in John 15:5. Confucianism believes in the gregarious paradise attained by human good doing without the needed mighty hand of Jehovah, by Whose covenant Abraham became God’s friend, Jacob metamorphosed to Israel – the Prince by the right side of the empyrean Majesty –; and by Whom also the New Testamentary order put zōē (dzo-ay') back into His children of Christianity. Amen. Confucianism believes in the gregarious paradise attained by human good doing without the needed mighty hand of Jehovah, by Whose covenant Abraham became God’s friend, Jacob metamorphosed to Israel – the Prince by the right side of the empyrean Majesty –; and by Whom also the New Testamentary order put zōē (dzo-ay') back into His children of Christianity. Amen. Laozi is the founder of Taoism. Taoism or Daoism is a type of belief, or a way of thinking about life. It is at least 2,500 years old and said to be a philosophy traditionally founded by Lao-tzu that teaches conformity to the Tao by unassertive action and simplicity. It is a religion developed from Taoist philosophy and folk and Buddhist religion and concerned with obtaining long life and good fortune often by magical means. Instead of spending a lot of time trying to explain what the Tao is, Taoists focus on living a simple and balanced life in harmony with nature. It is a religion that strives for balance in life. One of the main ideas of Taoism is the belief in balancing forces, or yin and yang. These ideas represent matching pairs, such as light and dark, hot and cold, action and inaction, which work together toward a universal whole which is the main goal of this practice. Taoists have no deity or worship rituals. The main activity is the effort to be in harmony with the Tao and thus live a balanced life.Read More

The ninth and final consciousness, known as the Buddha nature (or Namu-myoho-renge-kyo[3][14]), forms the foundations for one’s life. It is the amala-consciousness, meaning the “purest”,[4] and cannot be tarnished by any of the karmic energy from the previous eight levels. I know what the Bible says concerning man’s philosophy. “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Yes, man robed himself in an inordinate crave to miss the mark of Divine standard in Eden. It was an act of disobedience to the express word of the Creator and not because of an imperfect Eden. There in the Garden, God performed the ritual of salvation. “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them” (Genesis 3:21). Divine prescription for a spiritually ailing Adamic creature is the use of a recumbent animal for sin offering. We have a corroborating verse in 2Corinthians 5:21 “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Human philosophy fails to address the sin question. Romans 3:23-24 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Confucianism believes that virtuous living fostered by conformity and harmony will give you heaven on earth. When people conform to the right way of living they will create a society that works well - a social paradise. There is no formal worship of a Deity or belief in the afterlife. Without “Me” – Christ – there is no harmonious conformity between heaven and earth. Read More

Mankind is too fraught with sinfulness to appear before God unaided spiritually. Without Jesus, the Second Member of the Godhead, there is no justification at all before the thrice holy God, the Almighty. Pauline Holy Spirit – the Third Member of the Godhead – inspired teaching continues in the next verse with: “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith” (Romans 3:27). Religious self-afflictive ritualism of asceticism tends to puff up egoism, making one to believe that one is capable of doing something about Adamic fall. What saves an Adamic fallen creature is the finished work of the cross. “Where,” as Paul asks, “is boasting?” The law of absolute faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, renders it faux pas. Amen! According to Buddhism teachings, what is stopping attainment of happiness are unconscious attachments to a lesser self.Read More

I do understand that we have different theological beliefs based on the didactic stance of individual’s religion of profession. I cannot be unwise enough to force my biblical orientation on anybody. Anyone, as free moral agent, has the volitional will to embrace any spiritual way of life. But it should, I understand, be known that anyone who jettisons the teachings of the Bible definitely does it at his own peril. Selah! If God’s protocolary documentation disciplines us to understand that “by their fruits ye shall know them”, the prophet of Ahura Mazda has evidently shown a marked distinction between Jehovah and Ahura Mazda. Ahura Mazda, the wise lord, albeit, all-wise this god worshipped by Xerses of Babylon lacks the quiddity of the Omnipotent Jehovah Jesus. It took eternality of power to have wrought the soteriology. God the Father used His Omnipotence to bring Jesus Christ back from death in order to actuate the soteriology. Amen. The God of the Bible is the true Author of salvation. The difference between Ahura Mazda and Jehovah is in the definitions of their names; one is ‘Wise Lord’ and the other is ‘I Am That I Am’. Jehovah is the covenant name of salvation. Jehovah means “One Who is, by His own power!”Read More

Hodos establishes the facticity of “for without Me ye can do nothing!” So, what does “I AM, Way, Truth and Life” prognosticate? It undoubtedly establishes the Deity of Jesus. Hinduism treads on metaphysical approach. The thing is that, any attempt at metaphysical hodos that has not the foundation of the Bible is an absolute esotericism based on Satanism. “There is a way that seemeth right,” King Solomon warns. Zoroastrianism – Their idea of salvation is that if the individual struggles against evil and wins, they go into the place called heaven. Therefore, their concept of salvation: a winning struggle against evil in one's life. Zoroaster’s Ahura Mazdā is the personification of good. This God of Zoroastrianism is in constant struggle with the evil force of Angra Mainyu (also referred to in later texts as "Ahriman") for supremacy. Can Lucifer stand in contention with the God of the Bible of Whom it is written: “Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. Our hope must continually lean on Jesus, the Author of salvation. Universalism is alien to Scripture. Origen grew up on the foundation of Catholicism, therefore, I cannot be surprised if he should mute the concept of universal salvation.Read More

John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” No ordinary man could have uttered this statement. Only the Author of the soteriological phenomenality, God Himself, will say, “Without Me.” Atman, in Sanskrit, is the true self of an individual, the essence of an individual. Samsāra is outright misnomer viewed from Scriptural perspective; it teaches reincarnation of Adamic beings. The eighth incarnation of Vishnu resulted in the epiphanous twelve years old Krishna in Hinduism. Why he must manifest as a twelve-year-old definitely masquerades the Christological quiddity. Without the image of the Christ, no religion comes into operation. There is only one Incarnation: the Christological event on the terra firma. Hinduism believes that heaven and hell are temporary abodes. If it truly is, Abraham would have used it to console the rich man in the afterlife teaching of Jesus in Luke 16:19-31. There are no known paths of physical exercises leading to salvation as Krishna discussed with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. Salvation is not an attainability through religious ritualism of human exertion. It is purely of the finished work of the Divinity.Read More

What is incontrovertibly clear is the biblical account of Genesis 3:21 “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” This was the unveiling of the soteriology, where the clothing in righteousness offered them the second chance: the blood of the sinless for the revival of the sinner. If the LORD God of the Old Testament did take a physical walk into the Eden Garden to be theAuthor of this salvation, it cannot be the First Member of the Godhead, the Father, or the Holy Spirit, the Third Member of the Godhead; the Divine Visitant was none other than the Second Member of the Godhead, Christ the Creator (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2 and Revelation 1:8). Nimrod, no doubt, is, in my stern belief, the most worshipped deity alongside his wife, Semiramis. Genesis 10:8-9 “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 9) He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.” Being a great grandson of Noah, Nimrod probably lived in the nineteenth century BCE. Of inestimable importance is the salvation of human soul. Who should or could be the first to make an offer of salvation among these and many others? The soteriology, as presented in the Bible, is not an act of self-help. A spiritually fallen Adamic entity lays helplessly, a vegetable, in spiritual terms. Hindu encouragement of “effort at self-improvement through a series of reincarnated lives until they reach the final stage of merging with Brahma” is purely the goading of Satanism. Of the sinful nature of man, does the good Book not make the revelatory “the soul that sinneth, it shall die” in Ezekiel 18:4? The Word of God teaches in Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” all because Psalm 51:5 gives the exegetical “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”Read More

The casting of lots is Old Testamentary form of enquiring from the God of the Bible. The question here is, why would they find it expedient to fill an office Jesus left unattended to in all the forty days He was with them after His resurrection? How come none of the disciples approached Jesus with a good candidate of a discipleship suggestion? The One Who sees the hearts of men chooses who to work with Him. Methinks it is strictly the prerogative of the Author of salvation to choose His Apostles? None knows like the Lord, of Whom it is written in John 6:70, “Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” Why would the Lord, Who knows it all add unto Himself, the devil? Like every free moral agent of Adamic progeny, Judas must be given an opportunity to choose between the Light and the darkness. Judas represented the ultimate Antichrist, who must hear the gospel of salvation, make a choice whether to continue to follow Lucifer, and perish or come unto Jesus, after having laboured in the religion of Satanism, heavily laden, and receive rest. There is another reason for allowing an unbelieving Judas Iscariot in the Kingdom of God fold. John 17:12 “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”Read More

In the Book of Numbers 21:5 and 6, the recalcitrant Israel spoke against the LORD God and His Providence, loathing the bread – the signification of the body of Jesus broken for our redemption. So, in the 6th verse God sent fiery serpents against disbelievers of the Actuator of what they represent: twelve. They did not even know that it was the Redeemer of Israel that they spoke contumaciously against. And what was the solution to the serpentine blitzkrieg: for heaven above dealt with them using the wickedness of terra firma? His anger would not let Him destroy them utterly; knowing the manner in which He will save the world, the Lord chose its adumbration. Numbers 21:8 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.” In the Book of Numbers 21:5 and 6, the recalcitrant Israel spoke against the LORD God and His Providence, loathing the bread – the signification of the body of Jesus broken for our redemption.

Matthew 9:20 “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:” this is the first time ‘twelve' is mentioned in the New Testament. She came behind Jesus, as Reverend Chris Okotie taught, because she is the Israel of the Old Testamentary order. None received eternal salvation that made use of recumbent animal as the sacrificial element. The LORD of twelve was using the woman of issue of blood to transit from the Old to the New Testamentary Order when He had to visit the twelve year old girl, the daughter of Jairus. The sick woman who had spent all she had on her ailment signified Israel, from this theological understanding, as being badly haemorrhagic spiritually. Twelve, being our Emmanuel, has removed the stiffness of religious preclusion. Twelve, having to do with mankind, came with healing and restoration. Without the essence of twelve, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Five is the number of grace. Jesus is the discernibility of the grace of God to all nations, Whose earthly appearance, on account of the soteriology, is inevitable. The grace of Jesus translates into the salvific potency of twelve, His number. A careful study of the testimonial story of the feeding of the five thousand will prove that, with the inclusion of women and children, there were probably 18,000 people at that crusade. The remaining baskets full of fishes and loaves points to the superabundance of twelve in divine Providence: socially, physically and spiritually.Read More

The Messianic reality of establishment coming from the given Son further establishes the Incarnation. The birth of the child underscores the emergence of the Second Man – the second six or twelve –, the Last Adam, being the most enigmatic One to tread upon the surface of terra firma.

The twenty-four elders represent the perfect Church that does not fail to give the true latria to the Most High Jehovah, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. The first time the number twelve appears in Scripture is in Genesis 14:4 “Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.” This number of soteriological significance easily translates service. Chedorlaomer’s tyranny forced five kingdoms under its domination for twelve years. They failed to stay liberated because they bypassed Christ, the true Owner of the number twelve, believing in their physical warring strength. It took the number of grace – five – for Abraham, friend of Christ, the LORD of Psalm 24, to redeem Lot from Chedorlaomer’s grip. They were five kingdoms only in physical numeration, denying the power of the grace of God, hence, they failed to break successfully from the tyrannical grip of Chedorlaomer.Read More
