THE SECRET OF SODOM & GOMORRAH

1 Christ-Centered Kabbalah Sheila R. Vitale Pastor, Teacher, Founder PO Box 562 Port Jefferson Station, NY USA TRANSCRIPT OF MESSAGE #583 - Part 1 THE SECRET OF SODOM & GOMORRAH This Message Has Been Transcribed and Edited For Clarity, Continuity Of Thought, And Punctuation By The CCK Transcribing and Editing Team. This is a standalone message, but it really is preached after another message called, what is it called? "A Wondrous Edifice", and the reason I am giving this message a separate name and number is because in itself it is an important message that people might want to search for with key words on our web site, or even in our catalog, but this message does follow the introduction of the message called "A Wondrous Edifice". We are going to do a study in Genesis chapter 14, and I think I intend to do the whole chapter, which we will not be able to do today, and this chapter is in preparation for a study that we will do on Lot and his escape from Sodom, which also we be a sequel to "A Wondrous Edifice", but also we will give it a separate number and let it be a standalone message. I found some very interesting things as I have, it is very interesting information, as I have prepared for this message, and I just have so much, so many thoughts in my mind, that I have not yet researched and put down as notes in my book, but I will tell you this, that the Lord is showing me that account of Lot's escape from Sodom is analogous to Noah's escape from the world on the other side of the flood, and that leads to the count in the New Testament or the statement in the New Testament that the last days will be as it were in the days of Noah. The nation of Sodom because of an interpretation of the Scripture is known to be a nation of Sodomites, male homosexuals to such a degree that the word Sodomite is in the English dictionary referring to homosexuals, I hope to convince you today that this is a false understanding of who the Sodomites

2 were, and to show you the men of Sodom and the kings of Sodom in any event, and as the kings go so the subjects go, that the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the other nations that they were confederate with, actually were kings and people who had been chastised by the Lord and come under the control of the imputed Christ mind, they were converted kings that were living under the benefit of having a right relationship with the Lord, and we are told, we are told in chapter 13 of Genesis, that when Abraham went to Lot, and talked about separating, we are told in verse 8 of chapter 13, "And Abram said unto Lot, let there be no strife I pray between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen, for we be brethren, is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself I pray from me, if you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left." Verse 10, "And Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all of the plane of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere." Before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah it was a well-watered plane, water signifying the water of the spirit, it was a blessed land, even as to the garden of the Lord. Sodom and Gomorrah could be likened unto the Garden of Eden before they were destroyed, "like the land of Egypt, as that cometh unto Zohar. Then Lot chose him all the plane of Jordan and Lot journeyed east." East signifies the eternal plane, the land of Sodom and Gomorrah was a blessed land, and I want to suggest to you that in today's world, the church which is under the Holy Spirit can be likened to Sodom and Gomorrah, a well-watered land, a church drenched with the water of the Holy Spirit, a church that has received the blessings of the Holy Spirit for years, but they are still in their carnal minds under the influence of the Holy Spirit, many members of the church today have the imputed Christ mind formed in them, that means the fruit of the spirit has appeared in them, to a point that in many areas of their life they are manifesting the nature of Christ, okay, but they are still the female seed, and for that imputed Christ to endure in that person, for that imputed Christ mind to endure to not be seduced by the Serpent and get thrown back to their carnal minds, it is necessary for that imputed Christ mind to be rooted and grounded with the imparted Christ who must be grafted to them in accordance with the instruction of James, who says, "Receive ye with meekness the grafted word." You have to have the male seed and the female seed, and the product of that union inside of us, the male and female seed of the glorified Jesus Christ, and the product of the union, which is the imparted Christ mind, which has the ability to mature spiritually to the point that it will impart immortality to the flesh that it dwells in, the female seed no matter how powerful the fruit of the spirit is developed in that person can never preserve the flesh of that human being, it is only the imparted seed of the glorified Jesus Christ, after he is married to the

3 female seed which is the Holy Spirit that can grant, that has the ability to impart immortality to the flesh that it dwells in. What did I just say? That Sodom and Gomorrah and their confederate nation can be likened to the church today, the church is in some measure of correction, there a lot of aspects of the church where the other people that have learned obedience, that have learned submission, and whose mind has been rectified, drug addicts that do not drug anymore, alcoholics that do not drink anymore, adulterers that do not cheat anymore, okay. This is who Sodom and Gomorrah and their confederate nations are, the corrected kings, and we know that when we come to Christ, we become kings and priests. We are the corrected kings, the traditional church, the female church is Sodom and Gomorrah, and this concept that has been reigning for probably two thousand years, this interpretation of the Scripture, okay, because of the account of the men banging on Lot's door saying, We want to know these two men, the two angels that came to visit Lot, a conclusion has been drawn that the men of Sodom were homosexuals seeking to physically have relations with those two men who were angels that visited Lot, and this conclusion has been drawn with such strength that as I said earlier, the word Sodomite exists in the English dictionary, but I am here to tell you that this is not a correct interpretation of the Scripture. I am giving you really a preview of what I preach on Lot because the messages are completely intertwined, the account of those men banging on Lot's door is analogous to the account of ten virgins, five that had oil and five that did not have oil. The five virgins that did not have oil that asked the five virgins that had oil for their oil, can be likened to the men that were banging on Lot's door. You see, the men of Sodom and Gomorrah and their confederate nations had an imputed mind of Christ, they had blessed life, they had, were imparted the ability to throw off the bondage of the carnal mind and lead a blessed life because of the power of the living God within them, but after they were delivered from the bondage of subjection to their carnal mind, after they were set free, they misused their freedom, and they joined with that carnal mind to do the same evil deeds that the carnal mind did, that the carnal does. Therefore judgment fell upon them, they were judged in the valley of Siddim and they lost their Christ mind. The two men that came to visit Lot represented Lot's opportunity to have the mind of Christ reformed in them, and the men banging on his door were, I have to really study this and work it out, but I believe it was two fold, the men banging on their door were the men of Sodom saying, We want our Christ mind back also, but they were not willing to repent, they were trying to force the angel to restore the Christ mind to them.

4 We want to know these men, we want to have a spiritual intercourse with these men which will regenerate the Christ mind in us, is that not interesting? We will get to that in the next message. Praise the Lord, the message today is to establish that the kings of Sodom were not homosexuals and that there is nothing in this account or the extended account that I have just outlined for you to suggest that these men were homosexuals other than a carnal interpretation of the Scripture which I do not believe is valid, okay. The reason this message is being preached today is because the Lord is putting out a warning to the church, He is telling the church, I have given you my Holy Spirit, many of you have the imputed Christ, but you must go on, you must flee this city, you see, you have the Christ mind formed in you but you are still living in the world, see. You may not be drinking anymore, you may not drugging or committing adultery anymore, but your heart is still in this world, your heart is not longing for the things of my Spirit, well this is my interjection, probably because they have not heard it preached, the message in the church is the rapture, they do not, you cannot long for the things of the Spirit until you hear about what God has to offer you, and the church has not heard the truth about the kingdom of God, the church has not heard the doctrine of Christ, the church has not heard about immortality in the flesh, the church has not heard about the genius, the righteous genius that we are to ascend into, that we are the policeman of the world, saving the world from the evil of the powers and principalities that afflict humanity every single second of every minute of every day, someone is getting raped, murdered, mugged, dying, hurt, damaged, violated in some way. We are being raised up to deliver the world, to break the bondage on the world, they do not hear this message, so without a vision my people perish. The message of the Lord today is, you cannot stay in this condition of living in the world under the influence of the Holy Ghost, if you do not go on, if you do not embrace the doctrine of Christ, and do what is necessary to prepare yourself to receive the grafted word with humility, you will go backwards, the imputed Christ that is formed in you will unravel, and the basic elements that wove together within you to form that imputed Christ will be reformed into your carnal mind and you will start thinking like the world, and you will agree in your mind with the world. Brethren how many Christians voted for the wrong candidate four years ago, how many Christians are planning on voting for the wrong candidate today, why? Because they are making the decision out of their carnal mind and not out of their Christ mind, if they ever had the Christ mind, it has unraveled and the basic elements reformed into a mind that is in agreement with the world. We have clergymen from many Christian denominations fighting politically, they are taking political positions that are completely anti-scriptural. This is what this

5 message is about, the warning is going out, as the Lord has explained to us many times in the past, it does not matter how many people hear this message, something happens in the spirit when we preach a message like this which is specifically ordained of God to be taught and to be preached, if you do not go forward, you are going backwards, if you do not go forward, you will go backwards, and you will lose everything that was formed in you that you were not born with, everything that was added to you, everything of the kingdom of God will be stripped from you and you will be returned to that which you entered into the world with, the basic elements of creation formed into a carnal mind. That is the message, that is the message. Noah escaped from the world before the flood, and the Christ mind by which he escaped unraveled on the other side of the flood, Satan overtook him. Lot escaped from Sodom after Sodom fell, but the Christ mind that recognized the angels when they came into see him, that Christ mind unraveled and he returned to his carnal mind and brought forth Ammon and Moab, two violent nations that were enemies of the Jews as long as they existed. We do not really know who they are today or what their descendants are or where they are today. Today the Lord says, I have made provision that this should not happen to you, Noah, and Lot did not have an imparted Christ, so their Christ mind unraveled. The church today has the help that Jehovah promised to Adam, Christ in you the hope of your glorification, the mechanism is available to the church, to secure your Christ mind so that it will never unravel again, so that you may have a different testimony than all who have gone before you. Time is short, saith the Lord, you must ground yourself in Christ or you will go backwards. Let us take a look at our text, Genesis chapter 14, today I have prepared for you through verses 10, actually through verse 8, but I expect to do one or two more verses during the meetings. I think I did verse 9, right I did verse 9, and I will finish up verse 10 between the services. I will read through verse 10. "And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations. That these may war with Bera king of Sodom, and Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Adamah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela which is Zoar. All of these were joined together in the vale of Siddim which is the salt sea. Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim. And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness. And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is

6 Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar. And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim; With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five. And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain." That is all I have for today, but we are told that after that, well maybe I should do verse eleven too. And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way." Starting with verse 1 of chapter 14. "And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations." I hope you all know that a name in the Scripture anyway describes the person, so if we want to know who we are dealing with, we have to look up the Hebrew word and the roots of the names to find out who these kings represent, what they represent and to find out the message that God is trying to tell us. What caught my eye with this verse, was the last phrase Tidal, king of nations. I said, Lord who is the world is the king of nations? Prior to that, we have names, specific names of kings which are the king of specific lands, what is this king of nations, and as I prayed about it, I got the answer, which I will share with you, I am telling you this because I am trying to point out to you that when you try to understand the Scripture, you really have to pick out things that do not seem to make sense and ask the Lord what they mean, because when you see something in the Scripture that on the surface appears to not make sense, you are dealing with a mystery. Usually there is a very interesting spiritual truth operating there. Let us take a look at some of these names. Amraphel, he is the king of Shinar, a plane in Babylonia, so we know that Babylon is the Genesis of false religion, and therefore it is not a good king, Amraphel, he is a king of false religion. The second king is Arioch king of Ellasar, and again, Arioch, well Amraphel is Strong's #569, and Arioch is Strong's #746, it means a foreign origin, the name of two Babylonians. We see a second king here, another Babylonian king, a king of false religion. The third king is Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and he is a Persian king. You know, this is very interesting because the modern rendition of the descendants of the Babylonia are the Iraqis, you know Iraq is the modern day Babylon, and Iran is the modern day Persia, so we have so much with Iran and Iraq in the news

7 today, it is just so interesting to see their antecedents in the Scripture. The third king, Amraphel, Arioch, and Chedorlaomer, the third king is Persian or Iranian and the fourth king, I am just looking at the, okay and this is interesting, the Chedorlaomer is the king of Elam, and Elam means, and that is Strong's #5867, and that means hidden or distant and Elam is the son of Shem and his descendants, and so this word could mean a son of Shem or it could mean the country that Shem's descendants occupied. I find that so interesting that a descendant of Shem is associated with two Babylonian kings and a Persian king. Judah was captured by Babylon and Israel was overtaken by Media-Persia, and now we see a son of Shem associating with them, which to me is a witness to what this ministry has been preaching for years now, that Shem turned evil, that Ham was cursed by Noah, and that Shem and Japheth were in an unholy agreement with Noah at the time that Noah was overtaken by Satan and cursed Ham. We see the descendants of Shem in an ungodly company, and the fourth king is Tidal, that is Strong's #8413, which means fearfulness, it also means a Canaanite, and that word is from Strong's #1763, which can be translated formidable, which makes me think that this word fearfulness, it is really talking about a king that people were very afraid of. If he was a formidable king, people were very frightened of him. People had fearfulness of this king, and he was a Canaanite, so we see too Babylonian kings, false religion, one Persian king, one son of Shem, and one Canaanite king, what an interesting combination. Alternate translation of Genesis 14:1, "And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Babylon, Arioch king of Ellasar, a country in Asia, Chedorlaomer king of the land occupied by the descendants of Shem, and Tidal who was ruled by Leviathan the formidable king of the nations." I have amplified in there, Tidal who was ruled by Leviathan, the formidable king over the nations, and this was the answer that the Lord gave me when I questioned him why there were three kings associated with or linked to specific countries, and one king that is the king of all of the nations, what does that mean? This is what the Lord told me, that Tidal was ruled by Leviathan, the formidable king of all of these nations, Leviathan was ruling over all of these nations. We have a motley crew here, these are not good guys. Verse 2 of Genesis 14; "That these may war with Bera king of Sodom, and Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Adamah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela which is Zoar." Did you ever wonder why Abraham was defending Sodom and Gomorrah when Sodom and Gomorrah was nations of Sodomites, homosexuals and evil

8 people? Of course we are told that wicked people did live in Sodom and Gomorrah, but brethren let me tell you something, there are wicked people in the church. I heard someone, I have a testimony recently which is my testimony which I have never heard from another person before, which is the most wicked people I have ever met in my life I met in the church, I have never met such wicked people in my life before I came to the church, because being under the Spirit of God exposes who you really are. We might say, Well Abraham went out and fought with the kings of, and fought with these wicked kings to save Sodom and Gomorrah because Lot was taken captive you know, but I want to suggest to you that there is more to it than that, I want to suggest to you that the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their subjects were in right standing with God. Abraham went out to fight for Lot, but he really went out to fight for the whole nation of men who were in right standing with God. I want to suggest to you that Abraham represents the male seed, the spiritual male in the church that went out to fight for the female church, and who is the female church? The church that has the imputed Christ, the church that has Christ formed without repentance, they had Christ formed in them, but they were wicked, but they had that Christ mind formed in them. Abraham, the spiritual male went out to fight for them when they were captured. We see that the female church, the female spirit filled church goes into captivity, and the female church today is in captivity, she has very little power, she does not have a fraction of the power that she should have. That is not to say that there are not ministries within the church that are powerful, and that is not to say that the church is doing many good things and many good works in the earth, but she is not at the level of supernatural power that she should be. The Lord is sending forth the male, the spiritual male to set the female church free, and the way the spiritual male sets the female church free is by exposing her sins, that is the process. When repentance comes forth, Christ increases and spiritual power increases in direct proportion to righteous thinking. There is a difference between the imputed righteousness which says, because I have a relationship with God and I am reconciled to the Lord Jesus Christ, I am the righteousness of God, I hear this preached on many of the tv shows, I am the righteousness of God. I am the righteousness of God by faith, but spiritual ascension and spiritual power is directly proportionate okay to righteous thinking, not imputed righteousness, but the righteous thinking, righteous reasoning, and righteous choices that a person makes. Therefore deliverance from any form of bondage in your life has to do with finding out what is the wrong thinking that has put you in this position, that is keeping you in this position, and what is the analogous righteous thinking that is going to get you out of this condition, and then doing whatever you have to do to change that

9 thinking so completely that the manifestation of that change is a change of a difficult situation in your life, that which is changed in your mind now changed in your projected life, this is the deliverance of God and this is how it works, and this is the process that results in a mature spiritual man rising in a spiritual power that equips you and is the official badge as law enforcement agent of the Lord over all of the powers and principalities that seek to and do in fact afflict his people and the whole world. These four kings that we just named, may war against Bera king of Sodom, Bera, Strong's #1298, of uncertain derivative, a Sodomite king. It comes from #5467, an unused root meaning to scorch or to be burnt, a volcanic or bituminous, that is oil, oil lays district. Sodom is a place near sea. We see that the king of Sodom is a burnt man, he has been in the lake of fire and his carnal mind has been scorched, and he is in the place of oil which signifies the anointing. Brethren, the anointing is a two edged sword, either it sets you free or it brings judgment on you, one or the other. We see the king of Sodom which tradition tells us would be a homosexual, on the contrary is a converted believer, and Birsha the king of Gomorrah, Birsha is #1306 and that means wickedness, and Gomorrah, Strong's #6017 means a ruined heap. We see that Birsha the king of Gomorrah was wicked but he was wicked man that was ruined, that means the anointing got a hold of him and ruined his wickedness, and we see that the word Gomorrah was further from a root #6014, which means to chastise or to gather grain, so we see that Birsha the king of Gomorrah where the wicked man who was chastised, and now he was in a position to be grain that could be harvested, and Shinab king of Admah, Shinab, Strong's #8134, is from two roots, one meaning a father that has turned, and that is from #8132 which means to alter, so who is the father that was turned, who is the father that was altered? Does anybody know? Who was the father that turned, who? No, not Jesus, but you are close. Adam is the father, the first Adam the father of all of we who are his ascendants, okay, and he turned, he was righteous, Adam had an imputed righteousness who was destined to bring forth a many membered creation but he turned towards the Serpent and he was altered and became evil because mortal mankind is evil, good and evil but even the good of mortal man in relationship to the righteousness of God in you. He is the king of Admah, and Admah means the earth. We have an alternate translation here, Oh I left something out, I am sorry there is one more king, Shemeber, which means illustrious, and that is a good word, so he is the king of Zeboiim, which is #8034, which means, I am sorry I think this #8034 is the root of Shemeber, the king who is illustrious and his name comes from a root that means to be of renown, to be of a report, illustrious, so we see Shemeber was a great man, he was a king of Zeboiim which is Strong's #6636, which means gazelle. It is interesting,

10 because I have read in Kabbalistic writings that Israel is the gazelle of God. I am going to go with that opinion of the Kabbalists that this man Shemeber is an illustrious man who was a gazelle or what does that mean the gazelle of God? That means an animal that God's spirit lived through, that is what it means, because human beings are all animals. This man Shemeber, he was illustrious, he had, and I told you that, that word meant renown, reportable, so it means a mark or a memorial, it means he had the mark of God, and therefore he was the gazelle or the animal that the Spirit of God lived through. We see that these kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their associates are good kings, even if they were wicked, they have been birthed and chastised and now their manifesting the life of God, how could you be manifesting the life of God and be homosexuals? It is not possible. I repeat again, church theologians have drawn a conclusion from a carnal understanding of the account of Genesis 19 that is incorrect. The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their confederates were kings and nations, kings representing nations of people that have repented and were under the protection of God, of Jehovah God. Praise the Lord, and lest but not least, we have, it says, and the king of Bela which is Zoar, so we do not know the king of Bela's first name, the king of Bela, the name of the place also of an Edomite, and it is from a devouring, and it is from #6819, I think I did this wrong, let us see, I said from Bela, and from, okay, where it says, Strong's #6819, I said from tsaar, that is wrong, that is a new word, #6819, this word from should not be there, okay, that is tsaar, a primitive root, to be small or to be ignoble. We see that Bela is the name of a king which means he was a devourer, he was an Edomite which is a descendant of Esau, which was a reprobate son of Isaac, and he was a devourer, but that devourer was made small, he was the king of Zoar which means to be made small and ignoble. This devourer, this person, and Esau let me remind you was a veracious consumer of other people's energy, that was the weakness of Esau, he was out seeking other people's energy. This man was an Edomite, he was a devourer, a veracious man, how do you take other people's energy? You take other people's energy by defeating them, you either defeat them in sports which is acceptable, you defeat them in business which is acceptable, or you defeat them spiritually by rejecting them and humiliating them which is not acceptable to God or by tricking them and conning them which is not acceptable to God, robbing and stealing from them. This man was a devourer but he had been made small, he had become ignoble because he was under the chastisement of the Lord. We have four kings that are criminal kings, two Babylonian, one Persian, and one the offspring of Shem who had turned to the other side, and we have five

11 kings associated with including Sodom and Gomorrah which are all converted kings that are under the protection of Jehovah God because they have repented and been purified and changed, nothing about homosexuals or sin at this time, and we will find out what the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were, they were not homosexuality, the sin according to this account of Sodom and Gomorrah were that after they were set free, what does the Scripture say? After you are converted what are you supposed to do? You are supposed to, what are you supposed to do? Do you have an answer? You are supposed to strengthen your brother, the Scripture says, As you are converted strengthen your brother. These men after they were converted, after they threw off the yoke of the oppressor, actually made themselves equal to the oppressor and became confederates of the oppressor and when out to do the same thing as the oppressor. What is this saying? Brethren, this happens in the church, I have seen it happen in the church, people who come in and they are in desperate condition, they get set free and they rise up and they become oppressor of the weak to try to take advantage of the weak? How? Either they exalt themselves to make themselves feel big, by, in many ways okay, they could have a false ministry, they could rise up to be in ministry not to help the people but to take money from them, okay, they could be in ministry to exalt themselves, they do not have to be in ministry, they could be someone in the church that is just saying, I am this great one and I learned all of this and now you are the little one and you better humble yourself before me, it is just human nature, it is all a manifestation. How many people in the church are set free from the Lord by the Lord and have no compassion on the people that are still in the condition that they were set free from. How many people get set free and run from the other people that are still in the same trouble that they were in. Personally I think when that happens, it is because that person that has been set free is afraid of being drawn back in that problem, but you can have that concern and still have compassion on the people, but it is human nature, it happens so often that people that are delivered then despise the people that were in the condition that they have been delivered from. You know what I am talking about, that is the sin of the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their confederates, nothing whatsoever about homosexuality. It is so interesting because one of the aspects of the ministry here is that we expose false doctrine, this is one that I never expected in a million years, that the Sodomites were not homosexual, they were not homosexual, they were men, okay, now we are drawing a conclusion that the men of the Sodom and Gomorrah were as the king was, that the king signifies the spiritual and moral

12 condition of the men, that they had an imputed Christ mind and when they were set free, instead of strengthening their brothers, they exploited the other people that were weak see, and they lost their Christ mind, okay, and when the two angels came to see Lot to give him the opportunity to be restored to his Christ mind, the men of those cities who were aware and brethren this is a true manifestation of hell, to have experienced the life in Christ and the victory of that resurrected life and to lose it, to be living a life on a lower scale knowing what you have lost, the men of Sodom saw that there was an opportunity present around Lot, to have the Christ mind restored and they were banging on the door saying, we want to know those men, we want to have spiritual sexual intercourse of the mind with those men so that Christ will be raised in us again, that is what is was all about, not physical intercourse brethren. I want to tell you that in a measure I have experienced that level of hell, I was in a church for years where we had an outpouring for deliverance and healing, I was healed of many things including internal bleeding and many of the serious illnesses, that church was closed down by the Lord, when He pulled me out, I became very concerned about whether or not I would need a doctor to take care of me because I was not a well person. I made a fleece with the Lord that I would go to a doctor if necessary, and indeed I wound up in the hospital for three months and I had surgery, and I want to tell you brethren, that the mindset in the country and it is not true, I mean it is not wrong that if the only medical care that is available to you is the medical system in our world, well it is certainly better than dying, there is no question about it, but I want to tell you that once you have experienced being under the care of the Lord Jesus Christ, and receiving healing from simply having hands laid on you, to submit to the manipulation and invasion of your body and the humiliation of everything that you go through at the hands of the doctors, it is painful, it hurt me brethren, it hurt me to go. I had a vision of what human beings submit themselves to, the invasion of being poked in all parts of your body, the nudity, to be fully exposed and at the hands of other mortal men, to save your life, I realized how humiliating that was, because I had experienced something higher, healed of many major serious problems just by having hands laid on me. If the medical society is the only help that is available to you when you are ill, you do not think of it in terms of being humiliated, you just submit, you lay down on the table, you open your legs, if you are woman, if you are man, you turn over, you stand up on your knees and you expose your rear end to another man who is going to penetrate you. You do not think anything about it because that is what you have to do to save your life so that you can support your family and go on with life.

13 I want to tell you something brethren, it is a tremendous humiliation. This medical system is Satan's medical system, and it does us good but you pay the price to whatever degree that these examinations affect you emotionally, and we just do not think about it because we say, well that is what we have to do to live, so we do not think about it, but it affects you emotionally, you know and that is the price that we pay for Satan's healing, you see. Praise the Lord, it is the truth, and I would go to a doctor if the Lord sent me, I have not gone to a doctor in a while, but I would do it if He sent me, and I was in the hospital for three months, and I was exposed to everything that I am talking to you about, but I was exposed to it with a memory of what it was like to be healed by God, and that is hell brethren to be in a place where you know that there is something better because you have already experienced it but you no longer have access to it, that is the truth of how, see, this world is filled with people that are relatively happy because they do not know that they are in hell, but once you receive a memory through the preaching of the doctrine of Christ of what you have lost, and what human beings are supposed to be like an the power we are supposed to have and the freedom we are supposed to have in this world, once you get that revelation, it is difficult to be content with this world. If you have the best things of this world, it is difficult to be happy with it when you have a revelation of where you were and what you fell to, and what you have a potential to be again in Christ Jesus. Praise the Lord. We see that the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah and their confederates were chastised people, chastised of the Lord, walking in imputed righteousness, but their mind was still carnal so when they were set free instead of strengthening their brethren, they exercised an ungodly authority over their brethren, they became criminal in their freedom and their freedom was taken from them, and they were now in an existence of carnality with a memory of what the quality of life was when they were under the protection of Jehovah, and it was so painful for them that when they saw the opportunity, the potential opportunity to have the Christ mind restored within them, they were almost ready to knock down the door to lay hold of the people or the two men who they thought could restore that condition to them. Brethren there is a Scripture that says, In that day, people will be chaining themselves to you, they will be following you everywhere to get what you have, now that is not what is happening in the church today, on the contrary many people despise the church and look down upon it, and do not believe that it has any power and mocks it mercilessly, but in that day brethren that the church is restored to obvious power, there will be people chaining themselves to us,

14 saying, What must I do to get what you have, and that is what the account of the two men visiting Lot was about. You know if you stop to think about it, the King James translation says that Lot was trying to defend these men, the King James says that Lot was speaking to these men of Sodom saying, Do not do this, do not hurt these two men, and then these two men turned around and blinded, this is the King James translation, turned around and blinded all of the people that were trying to attack them. We see that according to the King James translation, they did not need Lot defending them, they did not need Lot offering his two virgin daughters to two men that had the power to blind all of the men that were trying to rape them according to the King James translation. Something is wrong with this picture. If you want to say that Lot did not know that these two men had the power to blind the people who were attacking them, why did the angels not say, Oh do not offer your daughter, do not offer your daughter, we can take care of ourselves, why is that not in the Scripture? Because that is not what was going on. Praise the Lord. That is the next message, but they are overlapping. Alternate translation of Genesis 14:2, "That these may war with Bera the king of Sodom, who was burnt", let me take this out, I want to take that word continually out, I decided to take it out, "who was burnt in the purifying fires of judgment and the wicked Birsha, the king of Gomorrah who was chastised, Shinab the father who turned to the other side and was altered, king of Admah, all of the earth, and that is really Adam who became king of all of the earth as it exists today, and the illustrious Shemeber, the king of Zeboiim, the spiritual gazelle who had the mark of God, and Bela the king of Zoar who was brought very low so that Satan within him could be swallowed up. Praise the Lord. I wonder where I got that swallowed up from. Verse 2. That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, one of these words must have something to do with swallowed up, gazelle, okay here it is, the word Bela, the name Bela is from Strong's #1105 which means to be swallowed up. Of course we are applying spiritual principles that we have learned over the years and we know that Satan is the one that is going to be swallowed up by Christ Jesus so I have added that in. Alternate translation verses 1-2, "And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Babylon, Arioch king of Ellasar, and Asia, Chedorlaomer king of the land occupied by the descendants of Shem, and Tidal who was ruled by Leviathan the formidable king of the nations, that these made war with Bera the king of Sodom who was burnt continually in the purifying fires of judgment", and I wanted to take continually out, although that really is the suggestion, I do not know, I will have to decide whether I will leave it in or not. The significance of

15 being burnt means that if Christ abides in you continually, your carnal mind is continually burnt, it means your carnal mind is continually under judgment and incapable of harming you, so I will have to decide whether I want to amplify that word continually or not, but for now I am taking it out. "That these made war with Bera the king of Sodom who was burnt in the purifying fires of judgment and with the wicked Birsha, the king of Gomorrah who was chastised, Shinab the father who turned to the other side and was altered, king of Admah, all of the earth, and the illustrious Shemeber, the king of Zeboiim, the spiritual gazelle who had the mark of God and Bela the king of Zoar who was brought very low so that Satan within could be swallowed up. And all of these were joined together in the vale of Siddim which is in the salt sea." I want to check something out, the word that I went to check was a word in verse 2 which says, That these made war with Bera the king of Sodom, and that Hebrew word translated "with" can either be translated "with" or "against", and when I saw that I had included the word "with" here, I was thinking that it really should have been "against", that these enemy kings may war against these kings that had been chastised and were now in submission to Jehovah, and I am still not sure but I am going to keep that in mind, it is possible that, there are two possibilities that the criminal kings representing the carnal mind made war against the Christ mind that came into existence when these men were chastised, or it could mean that even though these kings were chastised, they were still in league with their carnal mind making war, and who were they making war against, they would be making war against Christ. I am really not sure we are going to continue our study, and we are just going to do one more verse then I am going to stop and let you have dinner, and I will try and see if I can get an answer to this before you come back for the evening service. Let us go on with Genesis 14:3, "And all of these were joined together in the vale of Siddim which is the salt sea." It sounds like they made war with, it sounds like these men who were chastised and serving Jehovah and under the protection of Jehovah, were joined together with the kings that made war, so that means, it would mean that the imputed Christ mind was joined together with the carnal mind, and that is not so way out, that happens. A lot of Christians with the Christ mind are still, even though the Christ mind is in existence, they are still living out of their carnal mind and in agreement with their carnal mind. This is the whole purpose of the judgment, this is very common that Christians have the Christ mind present, a lot in a lot of cases, I know we had that case in this ministry that the Christ mind equipped the person to understand what I preached here which is very difficult, but when it came to judging righteous judgment, that person refused to judge righteous judgment and continued to

16 view moral and ethical issues with their carnal mind, so that could be what we are talking about here, that even though these people were chastised and now the Christ mind appeared in them, they were still living out of their carnal mind. The Hebrew word translated "to join" is Strong's #2266 and it can also mean "to fascinate", that is a first level translation of the word. This is a primitive root, to join specifically by means of spells, to fascinate. We see that the Christ mind was fascinated by the carnal mind, the carnal mind was still exercising authority over people that had been chastised by God and had a measure of the Christ mind, we just had that right here this morning, that is what happened to you here this morning, you were fascinated, okay, the Serpent seduced you, amen. They were joined together in the vale of Siddim, Siddim Strong's #7708 means flat, and it is from Strong's #7704 which means to spread out as a field, flat, country field, ground, land. I know from our previous studies that it is Leviathan who rolls out this flat world, it is Leviathan who has rolled out this visible world, and it is this visible world that is going to roll up like a scroll when the kingdom of heaven is rolled and takes over this visible plane. I suggest to you that because we are dealing with the valley of Siddim, we are dealing with something that is low, okay, that we have to be talking about the world that Leviathan rolled out which is this present world, and the word "salt", "and they were together in the vale of Siddim which is the salt sea", the word "salt" is Strong's #4417, and it is from the Old Testament #4414 which properly means powder, specifically salt has easily pulverized and dissolved. It is also from Strong's #4414, which means to pulverize, intransitively to disappear as dust, it can also mean to vanish away, to be so ground to powder that you vanish away. Alternate translation Genesis 14:3, "All these kings who made war were dissolved in Satan's spiritual sea by Satan's witchcraft, which exists and the flat land that Leviathan rolled out in the midst of the black hole that Adam fell into when he died. I am wondering, I may have amplified incorrectly here, all of these kings who were chastised were dissolved in Satan, I bet you it should be all of these kings who were chastised were dissolved in Satan's spiritual sea by Satan's witchcraft which exists in the flat land that Leviathan rolled out in the midst of the black hole that Adam fell into when he died. I think that has to be, I think I got the kings backwards. You see, amplifying in the Scriptures is a challenge, I remind you there are many verses where we do not have personal nouns, just pronouns, and it is up to the translator to figure out who the Scripture is talking about, so sometimes they get it wrong on first time around, and I am preaching this after the first time around, so let us make a change here that is

17 saying, and all of these kings who were chastised and made clean, all of these kings who had the mind of Christ, I am going to have to work on this, all of these kings who had the mind of Christ, the mind of Christ formed in them, were dissolved in Satan's spiritual sea. Remember Jesus saying, If your salt is not salty, what are you going to salt anything with? Well I will let you in on a secret since I have not preached it yet, in the account of Lot escaping from Sodom when we are told his wife looks back and turns to salt, this is a question that I have had before the Lord for years, the significance of that is that, first of all, the wife of Lot, she is not named, so that means she is his spiritual wife, which is Cain, okay, which is in this case Satan, and when she looked back she turned to salt. What that means is that, that part of Lot which was looking back when she looked back, judgment fell on her, because looking back was going to hurt Lot, and that was Satan within Lot looking back, Satan within Lot longing for the carnal life, and fire fell on his wife, fell on the sea because the symbol of Satan is the sea, Satan was boiled, the water evaporated and the only thing that was left was salt, so it means that Satan lost her power to seduce Lot from going forward. When Jesus said, If your salt has lost its saltiness, what are you going to be preserved with? It means when Satan, when the Lord comes and chastises you and separates you from the carnal mind, it means that Satan in you is boiled and she is separated into salt, and vapor, see. If the salt is dissolved in the sea that means Christ is dissolved, are you following me? You are not following me, I can tell you are not following me, let me tell you again. The symbol for Satan is the sea, the salt sea, the symbol for Christ is the crystal sea, Satan is the salt sea, so we are talking about the symbol of salt, what does salt mean? It means when Satan is boiled the liquid of the sea is vaporized and the only thing that you have left is salt. When we talk about salt, we are talking about Satan being disabled, we are talking about the destruction of Satan, she has no power when she is separated in to vapor and salt, she has lost her power, okay, and I told you that is what happened to Lot's wife which was not a human being, it was Satan in Lot, Satan in Lot that looked back and was lusting for the things of the carnal world, but Lot, either Lot or the angels executed judgment on her, Satan was evaporated and Lot's wife turned to salt, okay, she was Satan and she became Christ, the salt that preserves, can you hear that? Okay. In this account right here, we have salt which would mean Christ, and Jesus said that salt was the preservative and Christ is the preservative. We see that all of these kings that Christ was formed in were dissolved in Satan's spiritual sea. They were, I guess I have to change that, all of these kings who were chastised, kings who were chastised by Jehovah, Christ was not formed in them yet because they

18 were dissolved in Satan's spiritual sea, are you following me? They were under judgment but Christ was not formed in them, this is the church, this is the spirit filled church. A large part of the spiritual filled church does not even have an imputed Christ formed in them. All of these kings who were chastised. Well, I have to change that, I really do, I have to change that, this is not talking about the spirit filled church, this is talking about the discipleship church that is under chastisement, this is talking about disciples who are having their sins exposed and Christ still is not formed in them, and why would Christ still not be formed in you when you are having your sins exposed? Because even though you are having your sins exposed, you are not confessing them and repenting. That is what this is talking about. All of these kings who were chastised were dissolved in Satan's spiritual sea because of Satan's witchcraft which exists in the flat land that Leviathan rolled out in the midst of the black hole that Adam fell into when he died. We know from previous studies that this whole world is a black hole that Adam fell into when he died, is everybody okay with that? Okay. This is interesting in verse 3, we are not talking about the Pentecostal church or the spirit filled church, we are talking about the discipleship church whose sins are being exposed, who have been burnt, who have been corrected, okay, we are talking about, and all of these five kings that are associated with, including Sodom and Gomorrah and associated with them, each one must be talking about a different aspect of the church. The first king, the king of Sodom is someone who has burnt, someone that has really been under corrective judgment, and then I would have to go over the others, let me see if I can find that here, see as I preach it I get new revelation, I did not see this before. We have Bera the king of Sodom who was burnt, his sins were, his sins were exposed okay, then we had the wicked Birsha the king of Gomorrah, who was chastised, he was under judgment from God and we do not know whether that means the sowing and reaping judgment or well it must mean the sowing and reaping judgment, because the white throne judgment, I do not think it was available here, although it may have been available in an imputed form. We have someone who had his sins exposed, then we had someone who was chastised, then we have Shinab the father who turned to the other side, then we have the man who was, or the group of men who actually were converted, they turned to the other side, and then we have the illustrious Shemeber king of Zeboiim who was a spiritual gazelle, someone that God actually lived His life through, and then we have Bela the king of Zoar who was not only chastised but actually completely humbled like what you are going through now, for the specific purpose of Satan being swallowed up in him, so do not forget that okay.
