“And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves… [*Revelation 11: 9 (KJV)]”
A sobering thought is that whenever there is a gathering together of individuals, where the centrality around which they are gathering is not The Lamb & His Finished Work; it is nothing more than a mere, social club which, over time, will break down or degrade further into following after even more, mere, mortal men and women and their “how to”-teachings, thereby leading to myriads of mini- (or, micro-) denominations, divisions of those same, self-seeking, self-serving individuals.
Most modern-day churches, in connection with and/or “under the umbrella of” American “church”-ianity, the modern-day church “culture,” and current “prophetic bowel movement” are social clubs; gathering together around anything and everything (*especially the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and this to promote themselves!), other than making The Lamb & His Finished Work their focus. And this is why we continue to suffer immensely, and so immeasurably.
The above-mentioned, “…people and kindreds and tongues and nations…” are exactly this, what we are describing. They are carnal divisions, denominations of men and women, having corrupt and reprobate minds, and mired in The Outer Court, seeking only the glory of natural light in the eyes of other men and women; and without any genuine understanding of the Indwelling Christ, or the truth that Jesus Christ is in them! Remember the Older Prodigal Son… They are actually worshipping, along with their own selves and the works of their own hands, the “celebrity” of other men and women and the works of their hands, as well. They have made idols, false gods, out of mere, mortal men and women; whom they emulate, strive to be like. But Who is more like our Heavenly Father, than The Lamb? And what does rotting flesh know of true, and eternal beauty?
This is one of the very reasons why This Present Evil World is, actually, a mirror-image of Babylon The Harlot christian Church. That’s right! Christians often talk, and even warn about the church becoming more and more like The World; yet the church and This Present Evil World are one, and the same, having no difference… except for the one of them continually playing “dress up,” every Sunday. Yet when they talk, they speak like the dragon or pharaoh they perceive in heaven!
In fact, the church isn’t becoming more like The World; but rather, This Present Evil World is become the mirror-reflection of the church, the express likeness of her! The Book of The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ emphatically confirms this, and sheds much more, accurate light on the subject; going so far as to signify that the reason why This Present Evil World is so dazed and confused (and, well, "evil"), inebriated, intoxicated, and staggering around in their own self-righteousness… is because Babylon The Harlot christian Church is so dazed and confused, inebriated, intoxicated, and staggering around in her own self-righteousness (once again). She has fallen from Pure Grace, and into “confusion by mixing” the Law back on top of Grace:
“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [*Revelation 17: 1-3 (KJV)]”
