This particular part reveals why we are highly focused on the children…
My friend Steve continued with the following:
Seeing – Why the Separation of God from Children
The extermination and exploitation of children have always been a prime component of everything Satan has done on the earth beginning with Cain. He continued it by persuading parents in succeeding generations to sacrifice their children to grotesque false deities that lusted after the blood of innocent children. Even Israel got caught up in this hideous practice, which YHVH sternly warned them not to do:
“And you shall not give any of your offspring or posterity to transition or cross over to Molek, the chief deity of the Ammonites. And you shall not pierce, wound, or profane My Name, Honor, Authority or Character; for I am YHVH of the Elohim.” (Leviticus 18:21)
So, it’s not a new thing for parents to somehow be convinced that it’s a good idea to give their children over to the spiritual forces of darkness. In past ages, parents threw their children into the fire of heathen gods. Today, they are giving their children over to Astarte, and they don’t even know they are doing it.
When Astarte devised her scheme in the 1960s to separate God from children, it was to exploit the younger, more naïve generations to do her work. But, since God released the Seventh Angel to Sound in June of 1982, there has been a change of priorities in the kingdom of darkness.
Children have now become an essential resource to supply it with what it sorely lacks – sustainability. As adult humans provide Satan’s realm with the authority to rule, the children of humans provide him with time. Here’s why this has now
become such an important commodity to his kingdom:
When Satan made his move on the earthly dimension to establish his claim of co-sovereignty, he still had access to the spiritual dimension of eternal time. This eased the crippling effect that corruption would otherwise have on his schemes. When a scheme would eventually disintegrate and collapse, he would simply devise another to replace it.
When God released the Seventh Angel to Sound, it closed the previous Phase while ushering in the current Phase of God’s Plan – The Transfer. A tactical component of this Phase was the commissioning of Michael, the Archangel, to cleanse the heavens of the stain inflicted upon it by Satan. This restored the heavens to their original state paving the way for the same to be done on the earth.
Michael cast Satan and his cohorts out of the heavens and to the earth. This radically altered Satan’s position and capabilities by locking him out of eternal time and binding him in material time (“little time”). It also stripped him of spiritual resources. He and his realm were now limited to only using corruption-laden material resources to do their work. Though he sought to control the earth, the earth was now controlling him. He and his realm were now subjected to the same constraints that material time and decaying resources had imposed on Man.
His schemes that could be sustained for centuries before the Sounding were now collapsing under the weight of their own corruption in a generation. To combat this, Satan looked to the only remaining resource that he had at his disposal – children. So, he set his sights on securing control of the children and youth of each succeeding generation to supply him with the capability he needed to sustain his schemes.
But, to get to the children, Satan had to first separate them from their parents. And to get the parents to agree to separate from their children – to offer them in the fire of Astarte’s schemes – he had to first separate them from God. This was a daunting challenge, but Satan had done it before with the antediluvian cultures of the past. And this time he had the advantage of Astarte’s Authority Inversion
Strategy (AI) already being in place, which gave him everything he needed
to obtain his permission.
To get to us in any capacity, the spirits of darkness must do the same thing every time – they must separate us from God. They do this by getting us to shift our attention away from the simplicity of what we’ve heard Him say to reason about what we think He means – without asking Him.
The objective of the shift is to get us to start listening to the voice that is speaking in the present (theirs) while debating about what the voice in the past meant (God’s). This does three subtle but strategically important things:
1. It puts God’s Voice in the past where we no longer live.
2. It puts the intruder’s voice in the present where we only live.
3. It gets us to rationalize what God has said (in the past) through a reasoning process that has now been reshaped by the voice we are listening to in the present.
As our rationale forms, the influencing spirit incrementally reshapes what we have heard and know about God into its own image. Soon, we begin to see God and what He has said (in the past) through the lens of the intruding spirit’s nature and character (image). The intruder’s voice then begins to replace God’s Voice, so that when it speaks, we think it is God. Its lies then become our truth. The reshaping is done. We begin to look like and act like the intruding spirit while believing we are worshipping and serving God. The kingdom of darkness has become our master and we have become its slaves – and we don’t even know it has happened.
This is how the spirits of darkness separate us from God and convince us to give our children to Astarte.
Of course, none of us would consciously listen to or follow a perverse spirit if we knew who it was. So, they disguise themselves by operating through someone or something we will accept.
In Eve’s case, she heard YHVH’s command to not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. She was also aware of the serpent’s reputation of being the shrewdest and most sensible of all the creatures of the field that YHVH had made to serve her. So, when the serpent approached her, she was open to what he had to say. In fact, there is no indication that Eve was even remotely surprised by the serpent speaking to her. Quite the contrary, she gave every indication that it was normal for him to be speaking. But then the serpent asked, “Has God said?”
Once the question was asked, the game was afoot. It shifted her attention away from the clarity of what she had heard to reasoning about what YHVH had meant. This shifted her focus away from YVHV’s Voice to what the new voice was saying. Once the spirit knew that the shift had occurred, it used its voice to contradict what YHVH had said. It then started reshaping YVHV’s Nature and Character into its own image – a self-serving liar.
From an on-looker’s perspective, one might conclude that once the serpent contradicted what YHVH said that that would be the end of it. But for Eve, she was already sucked into what for her was a harmless conversation with a creature she trusted.
It never entered her mind that the serpent wasn’t there to serve her. But the sad reality was that it was only there to serve its own interests by baiting her into reasoning on her own apart from YHVH. If she would take the bait, it would put His Voice in the past where she no longer lived while leaving her alone with the only voice she was now listening to – the deceiver. So, what she thought was harmless wasn’t harmless at all. It was the first step to getting her to separate herself from YHVH’s present Voice. It wasn’t long before she started acting under the authority of the one who was now speaking to her in the present. She ate and, at that moment, she became Satan’s slave and agent.
As Satan did to Eve through someone she trusted – the sensible and wise serpent – so he does to us today through something we believe in – rights. When we take a step back to observe the broader landscape of how this whole process is played out, some irony begins to emerge. Satan and his cohorts think they are pulling a fast one on God and His Man when in reality YHVH is the One who set the entire thing up.
Think about it:
• Who created and built the Garden?
• Who created the Covering Cherub (Satan) with his attributes,
characteristics, and tendencies?
• Who created Man with his attributes, characteristics, and tendencies?
• Who created the serpent with his attributes, characteristics, and
tendencies?
• Who put the forbidden Tree in the middle of the Garden?
• Who set the conditions for eating the forbidden fruit?
• Who said, “In the day you eat – not if you eat – you will surely die?”
• Who allowed Satan into the Garden, to begin with?
• Who allowed the transaction between Satan and the serpent to not
only happen but to stand?
• Who allowed the serpent to approach Eve when she was alone? (“It is
not good for man to be alone.”)
• Who allowed Eve to then be used as Satan’s new agent to approach
Adam?
You get the idea.
YHVH was way ahead of the curve. He set the whole thing up as part of His creative process to create IN His Man His Likeness – Nature and Character – through the struggles and conflicts His Man would face in life WITH Him. So, when the time and conditions were right, YHVH lured the intruder into His Theater of Light (the Garden) to duke it out with His Man. As the two engaged in conflict, YHVH was there WITH His Man creating IN him His Father’s Nature and Character. And, as this was being formed IN His Man, His Man was learning how to rule WITH Him.
“But the spiritual one is not the beginning or first in time, place, order and importance, but the natural one of the soul and mind; only then the spiritual one.” (I Corinthians 15: 46)
Time and again, the powers of darkness fall into this same trap. They think they are successfully opposing God when in reality Jesus is using them to advance His Plan. And the centerpiece of His Plan is to create IN us His Likeness, so we can rule WITH Him in the fullness of His Nature and Character.
Jesus uses the spirits of darkness – who are angels – in His creative process because that is what they were created to do. They are Ministering Class Beings. So, it doesn’t matter if they perform their ministry in cooperation WITH Him or opposition to Him. Jesus, who is the highest-ranking member of the Order of Man and Lord Most High of the Elohim, uses the spirits of darkness according to the purpose for which they were created.
So, too, it is with Astarte and her declaration that God is to be separated from the instruction of children.
In Astarte’s mind, she devised her plan to set these children apart for her purposes. Thus, they were to be trained to do her bidding in her image and likeness. And this certainly appears to be happening among many young people today.
But Jesus is way ahead of her.
What Astarte cannot comprehend and refuses to acknowledge (because she has no wisdom) is that everything she plans and everything she does works in the service of God’s Plan. That’s what she was designed to do, so that is what she will accomplish. Her intent does not matter. The only thing that matters is the role and service she was created to perform and the results she was destined to contribute.
As it relates to children, a tactical component of God’s Plan has always been to set apart certain ones from every generation to perform His Work in their time. So, when Astarte devised her plan to separate children from God, she thought she was robbing Jesus of His posterity. But the reality was that she was contributing to God’s Plan by separating several generations of young people from the religious apparatus of the world called the church. The Christian Church has been telling us this for decades as it has lamented for over 50 years that it is losing “the younger generation.” But it is not losing them, they are being separated from them. The strategic reason is so they won’t be encumbered with the pollution that the church teaches about God, His Kingdom, and His Plan. Instead, when the time and conditions are right,
Jesus will call, and they will answer in massive numbers to the Voice of the One Who is calling them. At that moment, they will act under the authority of Jesus’ present Voice as He Transfers them from the kingdom that once enslaved them to the Kingdom that will liberate them. They will then take their place WITH Jesus to rule in the fullness of His Nature and Character. (Revelation 11:15)
“Indeed, we speak wisdom clearly and with skill within the realm of the mature who have gone through the necessary stages to reach the end goal. But wisdom and clarity not of this age or of the preeminent ruler of this age who commands authority over the people and who is being abolished and rendered inoperable.
“We speak God’s clear and skillful wisdom in a mystery to hide and conceal that which God predetermined and foreordained before the ages for praise, honor, and glory.
“A wisdom that not one of the preeminent rulers of this age has come to know, recognize or perceive by personal experience. For, if they had known, recognized or perceived it by personal experience, they would never have crucified the Lord of praise, honor, and glory.” (1 Corinthians 2: 6 – 8)
The children.
