I do not know the day, week, month, or year Mary gave birth to Jesus – Part 10

I do not know the day, week, month, or year Mary gave Birth to Jesus

But I Do know that Jesus will never send anyone to Hell he gives Birth

Because His Birth Quickening of the Soul Abides in Believers Eternally!

Adam = Corruptible Seed = Physical Birth Condition!

Jesus = Incorruptible Seed = Born Again Condition!

Physical Birth = Condemned IN SIN Before God!

New Birth = Not Condemned by God in Christ!

Part 10

I Peter 1:23 – Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and ABIDETH for ever.

I John 3:9 – Whosoever is born of God doth NOT commit sin; FOR HIS SEED REMAINETH in him: and he cannot sin, BECAUSE he is born of God.

Not only does the word of God abide forever, as Jesus said in Matthew 24:35 – “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away,” but his living word also remains forever in each individual believer because he or she is born of God.  God will not impute a sin by transgression of the law that would place any believer back under his condemnation to hell.  John is very clear in I John 3:4 when he says: “For sin is the transgression of the law,” but Paul is equally clear when he identifies the believer to no longer be under the hell sentence for sin, which is the condemnation of the law, as he states in Galatians 3:22-25:  “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.     [23] But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. [24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”  Because of Christ’s sacrifice for my sins, when God considers me, he does not impute any sin to me that would eternally separate me from him in hell.  Those who do not believe this have not seen the grace than is in Christ, nor do they know him.  I am only considered righteous because I have the righteous Son of God living in me.  Those who do not have Jesus living in them are still sinning because they do not think that Jesus sacrifice alone took away all their sins that would have condemned them to hell, and are depending on their own personal added righteousness, added to the cross, to get them to heaven, and what they believe is of the devil.  They are just like the Jews in John 8:37 who believed he was the Messiah in 8:30, but did not see him as taking away their sins.

John 8:30,37 – As he spake these words, many believed on him. [37] I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

I John 3:4-8 – Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. [5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. [6] Whosoever ABIDETH in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. [7] Little children, let NO man DECEIVE you: he that DOETH righteousness is righteous, even as HE is righteous. [8] 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.

Colossians 2:13-15 – And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you ALL trespasses; [14] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; [15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

John 8:32-37 – And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.  [33] They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? [34] Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. [35] And the servant (Abraham) abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son ABIDETH ever. [36] If the Son THEREFORE shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. [37] I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because MY WORD hath no place in you.

Romans 4:3-8 – For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. [4] Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. [5] But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. [6] Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, [7] Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquitieS are forgiven, and whose sinS are covered. [8] Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not IMPUTE sin.  (Since Jesus IMPUTES to believers HIS righteousness)

Hebrews 9:25-28 – Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; [26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. [27] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: [28] So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Romans 4:8 – Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

I John 3:5 – And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

I Peter 2:24 – Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.   

Colossians 3:3 – For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

I John 3:6 – Whosoever ABIDETH in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath NOT SEEN him, neither known him.

John 3:36 – He that believeth on the Son HATH everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall NOT SEE life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 5:24 – Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting life, and SHALL NOT come into condemnation; but IS PASSED from death unto life.

John 10:27-29 – My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

Romans 8:38,39 – For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Man’s Vapor Home Joy Is Not as Joyous are Long as God Provides for Man’s Eternal Long Home!

MAN’S VAPOR HOME JOY IS NOT AS JOYOUS OR LONG

AS GOD PROVIDES FOR MAN’S ETERNAL LONG HOME!

December 29, 2014

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

James 4:13-15 – Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: [14] Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a VAPOR, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [15] For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Ecclesiastes 12:5,7 – Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: BECAUSE MAN GOETH TO HIS LONG HOME, and the mourners go about the streets: [7] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

“Life is real, life is earnest, and the goal is not its goal,    

For dust thou art to dust returneth, was not spoken of

the soul” – Longfellow

Philippians 3:20,21 – For our CONVERSATION is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

CONVERSATION (Politeuma – Only used once in the Bible) – (It is the place of one’s citizenship, a permanent home address)

It becomes one’s permanent home address the instant Jesus imputes its soul HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Matthew 5:17-20 – Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the LEAST in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called GREAT in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Pharisees-scribes received zero imputed righteousness)

Romans 10:1-13 –Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. [2] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. [3] For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their OWN righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. [4] For Christ is the END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. [5] For Moses describeth the righteous-ness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. [6] But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say NOT in thine HEART, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) [7] OR, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) [8] But what SAITH IT? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF TRUTH, which we preach; [9] THAT if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is made unto salvation. [11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. [12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED. [17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Revelation 17:12-14 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

All those to whom Jesus imputed his righteousness will come back with him to the present earth and live here in glorified bodies for 1000 years, after which they will live eternally in the final Heaven Age on the New Earth where the City of the New Jerusalem will be the Home of the Faithful from all Ages.

THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM – Ezekiel 40:2 & 48:35 – In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. [35] It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, THE LORD IS THERE.

THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH KINGDOM – Revelation 21:1-3 – And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

The Lifted Up Man Glorified Man Who Fulfills the Three Offices of One Almighty God – Part 1

Sunday, December 28th, 2014

Glorification of Son of man to be Almighty God

Lifted Up Glorified Man Who Fills the 3 Offices of God

(1) Everlasting Father – (2) Only Begotten Son – (3) Holy Spirit

Part 1

December 28, 2014

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

John 17:17-24 – Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. [18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. [19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. [20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; [21] That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. [22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as WE ARE ONE: [23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. [24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

DANIEL PROPHESIED JESUS’ GLORIFICATION 

Daniel 7:13 – I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

AND THE KINGDOM HE WAS TO RULE AT HIS 2ND ADVENT

Daniel 7:14 – And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

ISAIAH SHOWED JESUS’ WAS TO BE GOD’S FULLNESS

Isaiah 9:6,7 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. [7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS.

Isaiah 7:14 – Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

JESUS GAVE THE SIGN OF JONAH AS GLORIFICATION

Matthew 12:38-40 – Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. [39] But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: [40] For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

10 HORNS + BEAST ATTACK ISRAEL BEFORE 2ND ADVENT

The 11th horn will prevail against Israel in the initial battle and drive her into the Negev Wilderness for some 3 and ½ Years, but at that time Jesus’ 2nd Advent will occur, and the 10 horns will be destroyed along with the Antichrist and the False Prophet.   

THIS IS THE INITIAL 10 HORNS + BEAST ATTACK     

Daniel 7:20,21, 25 – And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. [21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.  (About 3 and ½ years)

THE 2ND ADVENT DEFEAT OF 10 HORNS + BEAST

Revelation  17:12-14 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Revelation 19:11,19-21 – And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. [19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Daniel 7:26,27 – But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Quickening Seed Offering Promised in the Garden of Eden!

Saturday, December 27th, 2014

A Quickening Seed Offering Eden Promise In The Name Of The Lord

Is The Fullness of the Godhead Seed Born From Mary’s Virgin Womb

As the perfect, sinless, flesh and blood Son from the seed line of Seth

Who was Pictured By the Law As the Flesh & Blood Genesis Sacrifice.

It was the Flesh and Blood of Jesus that Saved Old Testament Saints.

Hebrews 13:8 — Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and For ever.

December 27, 2014

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

I Corinthians 15:45 –And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the LAST Adam was made A QUICKENING SPIRIT.

Genesis 1:26a – And God said, Let US make man in OUR IMAGE, after OUR LIKENESS:

Genesis 3:15,21 –And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between THY seed and HER seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise HIS heel.

[21] Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of SKINS and clothed them.

Genesis 4:25,26 – And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me ANOTHER SEED seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. [26] And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: THEN began men TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD.

Taken from Institute for Creation Research

Begin Quote from New Defender’s Study Bible Notes

Genesis 4:26 – Enos: “Enos” means “mortal frailty.” It is interesting that Eve gave the name to her son, while Seth gave the name to his son. This probably suggests that both husband and wife normally consulted with one another in deciding on appropriate names for their children.

Genesis 4:26 – “Call upon the Name:” To “call upon the name of the LORD” normally implies a definite action of prayer and worship. It was evidently at this time that godly men and women first initiated formal public services of sacrifice, worship and prayer, replacing the earlier practice of meeting personally with God, as Cain and Abel had done. The practice of individual prayer is also intimated, implying that God’s personal presence was no longer regularly available. In any case, an act of faith is implied. In later times, “calling upon the name of the LORD” was accompanied by the building of an altar and the offering of a sacrifice (Genesis 12:8; 26:25; etc.). Since Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary, however, men need only call in faith on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

Genesis 4:26 – “The LORD”: The name of the self-existing, redeeming Lord, Jehovah. There is no contradiction with Exodus 6:3, especially if the statement there is punctuated with a question mark: “But by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them?” The obvious answer to this rhetorical question is yes.

End Quote

Colossians 1:12-19 – Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: [13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: [14] In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: [15] Who is THE IMAGE of the invisible God, the FIRSTBORN of every creature: [16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL things were created by him, and for him: [17] And he is before ALL things, and by him ALL things consist. [18] And he is the HEAD of the BODY, the CHURCH: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in ALL things he might have the preeminence. [19] For it pleased the Father THAT IN HIM SHOULD ALL FULNESS DWELL:

Colossians 2:9,10 – For IN HIM dwelleth ALL the FULNESS of the Godhead BODILY. [10] And YE ARE complete IN HIM, which is the HEAD of ALL principality and power:

Galatians 3:16,24-29 – Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of ONE, And to THY SEED, which is Christ.  [24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us UNTO Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to THE PROMISE.

I do not know the day, the week, month, or year Mary gave birth to Jesus – Part 9

Thursday, December 25th, 2014

I Do Not Know The Day, Week, Month, Or Year Mary Gave Birth To Jesus

But I know Jesus will judge the saved for degree of his light shown to Man.

Saved Souls – Be wise in these Last Days and start showing more Light

Lost Souls – Don’t Let the Jesus Seed be removed before Saved Go Up.

Soul Reactions When Hearing the Incorruptible Seed!

Roman Candles, Moonlights, Sun Lights, or No Lights!

Part 9

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

December 25, 2014

Merry Christmas

Many receive the Incorruptible Seed and are eternally sealed as the children of God by it, but few of them let it produce in them to give glory to God in his many local churches by Christ Jesus.  Some receive it and are saved by it, but never submit to scriptural baptism.  Some do submit to baptism but do not continue in faithful service in a local church.

Galatians 3:26 – For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Romans 10:17,13 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

LUKE 8:11 – Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

John 6:62,63 – What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? [63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Acts 2:40-42 –And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. [41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

LUKE 8:11 – Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Many gladly receive his word and rejoice exceedingly that they have been delivered from the bondage of sin that placed them under the condemnation of God.  They know they have been saved by grace and passed from spiritual death to eternal life in Christ.  But when they face the trials and tests of life in the present world, they fall away from a life lived in it for Christ, and live a life led by the flesh rather than one directed by the seed of the word, which is Spirit.

John 5:24 – Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting life, and SHALL NOT come into condemnation; but IS PASSED from death unto life.

LUKE 8:13 – They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.  (ROMAN CANDLE LIGHTS)

Some who receive the seed with joy submit to baptism and continue faithful in one of the Lord’s churches for a long time with a hit and miss record.  But they never really set their affections on the future things of the kingdom of God, and the pleasures the world provides for their flesh gradually cuts off the nourishment to the soul by the word, and they are choked from God’s will for their lives, and never produce any mature fruit.

LUKE 8:14 – And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.  (MOONLIGHTS)

Colossians 3:1-4 – If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. [2] Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. [3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 

A few receive the word with joy, submit to baptism in obeying it, and continue faithful in one of his churches for the rest of their lives.  They are the light of Jesus to a lost and spiritually dead world.  (SUNLIGHTS)

LUKE 8:15,16 – But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.   [16] No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

II Corinthians 4:6-9 – For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  [7] But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Some hear the word but will not receive it with joy, and continue to labor under the bondage of sin represented by man’s inability to keep it.  They are never set free from under God’s condemnation because they have not been passed from spiritual death to spiritual life by the seed indwelling them.  (NO LIGHTS)

LUKE 8:12 – Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

II Corinthians 4:3,4 – But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
