Via, Veritas, Vita
Bob Neumann, 2003
You can still see these words in the catacombs under the city of Rome. In the simple LATIN VULGATE it means THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE. These WORDS were placed there by a people really oppressed. Persecuted in mass for the “entertainment” of the masses. They had THE BLESSED HOPE in a way we may soon learn. In the midst of affliction they had a WAY out…to LIFE.
THE TRUTH
Sometimes we forget that to get to ABBA it is only through HIS SON.
But THE SON SAYS that there are many who will face HIM on the DAY OF JUDGMENT and be utterly amazed that HE NOT ONLY DENIES KNOWING THEM, but will condemn them to the ETERNAL TORMENT that, and let me quote this from the KING JAMES….the end of Matthew 25….RED LETTERS….
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
The devil and his angels…the fallen ones. Who masquerade as “angels of light”. Yes i have seen and heard both holy angels and fallen angels in the place called THE VALLEY OF VISION. But one thing i learned quickly, even holy angels step aside when THE LORD speaks, and stand silent.
The ANCIENT OF DAYS told GABRIEL to speak to DANIEL. Likewise the visits to Mary and Zacharias were direct from ABBA. As for recent visitations i have no comment outside of judging trees by their fruit.
Yesterday i “read” about a coming “war of WORSHIP” and heard MY MASTER say… “THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD”. This statement did not bother me because HE IS THE LORD. And i saw no problem of HIS making reference as to HIMSELF and the 40 OLD TESTAMENT references to THE LORD fighting on behalf of HIS COVENANT people.
In the NEW TESTAMENT we are only to STAND…that is the ESSENCE of Ephesians 6.
But the “gauntlet” was cast when the “image” of worship came forward and when you put WORSHIP and TRUTH together you gotta go to the well…. John 4
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Please notice the term “MUST” in verse 24….THE TRUE WORSHIPPER….MUST WORSHIP…. with the long hard “walks” i have made in the last few days all coming together through THE LOGOS and THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT i am assured IN HIM who is my WAY, my TRUTH and my LIFE.
In the GREEK the term JESUS spoke…WORSHIP…is “proskuneo”…is used eight times… it means “to KISS…as a dog licking the MASTER’S HAND”…. So i say to all of you…
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Unless you are willing to be one of HIS DOGS…selfless and utterly in love with HIM as only a dog can….you are playing games with eternity. For THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT has taken me on a walk with five “virgins” who have no oil for their lamps. THE MASTER calls them “foolish”….
I never saw the depths of that statement.
Matthew 25
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him
People…THE BRIDEGROOM is coming…too many are asleep and unaware that they are “fools”. In the last 24 hours i have been reminded of many things that point back to the “times” and “preparations” for what was called “Y2K”….or “THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT…”.
In all those preparations i was always brought back to two scriptures….
Proverbs 22
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all
3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished
4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life
Proverbs 27
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished
As i shared YESTERDAY….in JOB 33 ABBA SPEAKS TO US NOT ONCE…BUT TWICE….in dreams and visions.
Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying
2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
4 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city
It is not funny that all this has come together….GOD SPEAKS TWICE….and the CHALDEANS…. They say it is 2003….okay…in acknowledgement to Dr JR Church and Gary Stearman….
Psalm 103
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust
15 man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them
19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all
20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure
22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul
Foolish virgins …..why are they foolish….they do not fear THE LORD….they will not learn…
They have no OIL….remember Jude and the scorners and mockers?
They do not HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEY DO NOT HAVE INTIMACY WITH THE SON… THEY ARE NOT HIS DOGS…. HIS SERVANTS….HIS BRIDE…. THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES WITH ETERNITY….. and many of them are leading others to destruction. Let me share two last incidents of GOD SPEAKING TWICE….or maybe we need a third witness….so be it.
Judges 17
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Judges 21
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Now look and see how THE WORD PROGRESSES when HIS WARNINGS go unheeded.
Jeremiah 6
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
Jeremiah 8
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying,Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
and if that is not enough……..
Psalm 14
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God
3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD
5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous
6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge
7 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad
Psalm 53
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good
2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God
3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one
4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God
5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them
6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad
People who do not FEAR THE LORD have no WISDOM…. no TRUTH is in them…. and as Mark Silbernagle has just reminded me….
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
