The "Sword" God made

​

The Son of God said, “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’  The full quote is from Micah 7 "The day God visits you has come, the day your watchmen sound the alarm. Now is the time of your confusion. Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with the woman who lies in your embrace guard the words of your lips. For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies are the members of his own household". 

 

The 'sword' that the Son of God came to bring is described in Ezekiel 21. Here's the first part of it, "Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree. And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer. Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh. Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD. Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers. I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter. Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set. I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it". As you will see, this 'sword' is an unseen thing that God created, that wasn't part of the original creation, and He called fully into action with the words, "Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the Lord Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones". So in the fewest words possible, God gave satan a temporary "dominion around the earth" enabling him to freely sow his seed (souls) on earth, and also imitate the Spirit of God to everyone. At the same time, God began 'sowing' His seed (souls) into families with the other seed types. This sword "contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree" - meaning it has been against the 'power and authority' of God's Son, God's seed, and anyone who's seeking to become His. (this is only an overview)

 

In the old Covenant, bloodlines were preserved so the Words of God could be fulfilled, but since the new Covenant began, it's been the opposite: "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast....  ...Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah... ...this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more". God also said, ​“It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” So this deposit that's placed in people's "inward parts" and "written on their heart" applies to Jews, Gentiles and everyone.

 

Many people know that in the garden of Eden, God put enmity or "hostility" between satan's seed and God's seed. But few have known that God plants His seed in families with the other seeds, as part of a situation He called a "Furnace of affliction". God did this to refine His seed, and also draw the other seed to faith in Him. To make this even more complicated, God made satan the temporary god of this world, so satan's seed feel completely right in their thinking and position on issues. This is why the Son of God said, “For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law - a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

​

The Scriptures also say "the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more". And "Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me". So what needs to be restored?  The "Rod that is no more" and the "Name that is cut off".

 

The Rod is the Scepter or "Kingdom of heaven that suffered violence and was taken by force", which enabled the spirit of the sword to manifest at the use of Christ's name - which is why Yahusha (Jesus) said that at the Judgement, many "Christians" will hear Him say to them, "Away from me you evildoers, I never knew you". Meaning they had the right name, but wrong spiritual power.​ But most Christians already knew all that right?  No. They did not, though it is written for them.​​​​​​​​​

You must be curious how the rejected beautiful cherub ended up with souls so sow here as his children, or tares. So that's next...
