ALL ABOUT YOU: GIDEON, CHAPTER 20“THE
PASSION OF THE CHRIST” BY MEL GIBSON IS GROSS IDOLATRY
02-29-04 (Judg
6:1) And the children of
Israel did evil in the sight
of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven
years [biblical number
signifying completion]. (Luke
6:43-45) For a good tree
bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For
of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they
grapes. A good man [i.e.
saved] out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that
which is good; and an evil man
[i.e. unsaved] out of the
evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of
the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. (Mat
7:15-18) Beware of false
prophets [(un-)inspired
speakers], which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening
wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes
of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil
fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (Deu
4:23-25) Take
heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the
LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a
graven image [an idol: to
carve, whether wood or stone (or print): grave, hew],
or the likeness [image,
likeness, similitude] of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath
forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire
[first biblical mention], even a jealous God. When thou
shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have
remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
yourselves [to decay,
ruin: destroy, mar, spill, X utterly, waste], and
make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and
shall do evil in the sight of
the LORD thy God, to
provoke him to anger: 1.
grave = Dict: 1. to incise or engrave. 2. to impress deeply:
graven on the mind. 2.
(Exo 20:1-4) And
God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have
brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. [1]
Thou shalt have no other gods
before me. [2] Thou
shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven
above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth: 3.
(Deu 4:1,2) Now
therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the
judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live,
and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers
giveth you. Ye shall not add
unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish
ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your
God which I command you. 4.
(Deu 12:32) What
thing soever I command you, observe to do it:
thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. 5.
(Rev 22:18-21) For
I testify unto every man that heareth the words [logos]
of the prophecy [inspired
speaking] of this book, If
any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto
him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city,
and from the things which are written in this book. He which
testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so,
come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen. THE
FINAL TEST OF SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT IS UPON US (Judg
7:5-8) So he brought down
the people unto the water [of
separation: Eph 5:26: the word of God]: and the LORD said unto
Gideon, Every one that lappeth
of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set
by himself; likewise every one
that boweth down upon his knees to drink. And the number of them
that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred
men: but all the rest of the people [9,700
saved Christians] bowed down upon their knees to drink water [thereby
taking their eyes (and attention) off the 135,000 enemy Midianite
warriors directly across the water]. And the LORD said unto
Gideon, By the three
hundred men [shepherds,
pastors, officers – which have eyes and see] that lapped will I
save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all
the other people [sheep,
congregation, enlisted personnel – “which have eyes to see, and
see not” Ezek 12:2] go every man unto his place [i.e.
his tent]. So the people [the
300] took victuals [food]
in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of
Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three
hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley. 1.
(1 Pet 5:8) Be
sober, be vigilant [to
keep awake, watch:, watchful]; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion [Goliath,
Gibson (speaking)], walketh
about [now in virtually
every movie theater in the country, and soon worldwide on
international satellite],
seeking whom he may devour: Amen
