GOD IS A TERRORIST (II Cor. 5:11)
by Tony Alamo
“Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.” (Psa. 148:4). God’s Mighty Word shows us that His Word, the Word of God, is the living waters (Heavenly waters above the firmament, the Holy Spirit). Jesus said to the woman of Samaria, (the woman at the well), that “whosever drinketh of this water (from earthly wells of water) shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:13-14).
The Holy Spirit is the eternal life that comes down from the Heaven of heavens where Jesus was before He came to earth, then returned to be far above all powers and principalities, to rule the nations with a rod of iron.1
Jesus is the “fullness of the Godhead bodily.”2 He is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.3 If the Holy Spirit, who is the living water, is in you, it is only because by your faith Jesus is living in you. The Father, the Spirit, is in Jesus.4 If Jesus is in you, the fullness of the Heavenly waters is in you, and you will have eternal life as long as you continue loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength,5 and as long as you deny yourself, then take up your cross and follow Him.6 Only “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess His name before My Father, and before His angels” (Rev. 3:5). “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy 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” (Rev. 22:18-19).
The minute you accept Christ as your Savior, you become the temple of God.7 But Revelation 20:15 says, “And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.” “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Rev. 21:7-8). The liars who say “once saved always saved” are revealed to be liars and devils by the above mentioned scriptures plainly found in the book of Revelation!
Jesus is the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Living Waters, your eternal life, and the fullness of the Godhead bodily in one body of people, which is His Church, His body, those who are filled with the Holy Spirit or Water from above the firmament. They are the spiritual family of God, the spiritual family, the family who lives forever because we are His body. “And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all” (Eph. 1:22-23).
Genesis 1:2 states, “And the Spirit of God [the Heavenly Water] moved upon the face of the [deep] waters.” The Heavenly Water, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, said, “Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light [before He created the sun, moon and stars] that it was good” (Gen. 1:3-4). The devil has seen that God does everything with His Word of His mouth.8 The Word of God is Spirit and it is eternal life.9 The Word of God is our Creator and the Creator of all things.10 Satan, before the Garden of Eden, has used words (false words) to build his ill-gotten, temporary, earthly kingdom by lies, false words.11 These are Satan’s ways of attacking God’s people, and all those in Heaven (Rev. 13:6). The body of Christ is God’s temple. “Ye [saints] are the temple of God” (I Cor. 3:16).
You must pray without ceasing12 and study the Bible (KJV)13 if you want to know what God’s Word really is saying and means and if you will receive more faith. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom. 10:17).
Slander (the devil’s name) is Satan’s way of doing his work, and it is filled with lies and exaggerations. He wages war with God. Chapter twelve of Revelation tells of Spiritual Israel (the Body of Christ), the woman with the twelve stars in her crown, who brings forth Christ, the man child. Then it shows Christ taken into Heaven.14 However, the remnant of His body, His saints, the Church, is left behind temporarly and is persecuted.15
All Israel is not Israel. “Not as though the Word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children [of Abraham] of Israel... but, in Isaac [the promised one, in faith, those who believe in Christ who is the Word of God] shall thy [God’s] seed be called. They which are the children of the flesh [the unregenerated, those who have not accepted Christ as the Messiah, the Savior of the world], these are not the children of God” (Rom. 9:6-8); but the children of faith in the Word of God, (Jesus the Word) are the children of God.
Revelation 12:1 tells us the great wonder in Heaven is symbolic of Christ and Spiritual Israel (His Church of born-of-the-Spirit Christians, the Bride of Christ (Rev. 21:2).16 They are everything to God, “The sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars” (Rev. 12:1). And spiritual Israel, the saints of God, and the Jewish people are persecuted by Satan because they brought the Savior into the world and they by the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible. Now, the saints bring the Bible into the hearts of the people of the world by their preaching Jesus, the Word of God, into the hearts of the unsaved, so the whole body of saints travails in birth and is in pain to be delivered (Rev. 12:2), delivering souls from death unto Life.17 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live” (John 5:24-25).
Every soul that is saved becomes part of the travailing Body of Christ. We suffer travail, great persecution, from the unsaved people of the world and false brethren who are possessions of that old serpent, the devil.18
“And there appeared another wonder in Heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads [theses are symbolic of the seven hills or mountains of Rome19] and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads” (Rev. 12:3). The great red dragon (the devil, the slanderer) is cast down from Heaven and is given his great seat, which is Rome, the city of the seven hills or mountains.20 One third of the angels in Heaven believed Satan’s lying slander against God. They were all cast to earth.21 The devil stands before the woman, the bride of Christ, the saints of God, the church of God, Christianity, to devour her child (Christ and every saint of His body) as soon as it is born. Her child [Christ which includes His Body] is to rule the nations with a rod of iron22 which is the never-changing [infallible] Word of God. “And her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne” (Rev. 12:5).
Revelation chapter 12 verse 9 (written in the original Hellenic Greek, which is the Greek written and spoken by the Jews—the Jews by the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible) says that the name Devil means slanderer. The devil’s job is to slander Christians or potential Christians. By slander, he is able to destroy the faith of many, to murder, and to steal people’s salvation.
In the twelfth chapter of Revelation, the devil’s slander is symbolized by a flood or river of water proceeding out of his mouth to destroy the people of God. Here it is translated from the original Greek language: Revelation 12:7-11 states, “And there arose a war in the Heaven. Michael and his angels went forth to do battle with the dragon [Satan—the devil]. And the dragon fought, and his angels. Yet they did not have the power to win out. Neither was there found any longer a place for them in the Heaven.
“And the dragon, the great one, was thrown down, once and for all, the snake, the ancient snake, the one called the Devil [slanderer] and the Satan [the adversary], he who deceives the entire inhabited earth. He was thrown into the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
“And I heard a voice, a great one in the Heaven, saying, Now there has come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, because he who accuses our brethren has been thrown down once for all, he who accuses them before our God day and night; And they themselves gained the victory over him through the blood of the Lamb and through the word of their testimony. And they did not consider their lives precious, and thus come to love them not, to the extent of death [they are willing to die a martyr’s death].” Die? For what? Die as a result of slander that ignorant people believed? No, they die defending the gospel, the Truth, as a testimony to unbelievers that we believe God—Christ, the Word of God—to the point that we would take a bullet for Him to give glory to Christ.
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman [spiritual Israel] which brought forth the man child [Jesus, our Savior, which includes His Body, us]” (Rev. 12:12-13).
“And there was given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, in order that she might be flying into the uninhabited region into her place, where she is being provided with food [and necessities] there a time and times and one half a time, [safe] from the presence of the snake. And the snake threw water [slander, lies] like a river out of his mouth after the woman in order that he might sweep her away with the river [of slander]”23 that the slander might cause the body of Christ (if possible24) to fall away from Jesus that they would be lost and that Christ would not have His working body here on earth to continue His incarnation. Don’t give up! Hell is forever and so is Heaven! Only those who continue to the end shall be saved!! (Matt. 10:22, 24:13).
“And the earth went to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river (the world, left-radical-wing, media, the slanderers) which the dragon threw out of his mouth. And the dragon was angry with the woman and went off to wage war with the rest of her children, those [the rest of the members of the Body of Christ] who keep the commandments of God and have the Testimony of Jesus” (Rev. 12:16-17).
We get a good understanding of the earth opening its mouth and putting a halt to the slanderous media when we read Psalm 106:17-18. David said it this way: “The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.” This should be a warning to anyone who has a brain to not slander anyone especially God or His people. You may ask, we may ask, “Can God open the mouth of the earth and swallow all slanderers?” God can do whatever He wants. As a matter of fact, if you remember in the days of Noah, He turned the entire population of the world into soggy clay with the flood with the exception of Noah and his family (eight souls).25 God will soon burn up the entire planet! God is the greatest in the universe! Dathan and his friend Abiram were trying to destroy Moses, Aaron, and all of the children of Israel by slandering Moses and Aaron, and by doing so, wanted to be their leaders and take the children of Israel back to Egypt.
To learn the whole story, read Numbers chapter 16 where Dathan, Abiram, their families are swallowed up into the earth.26 Remember God is “the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Heb. 13:8).
“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men” (II Cor. 5:11). “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Heb. 10:31). The book of Revelation says God will do the same to the slanderers. It shall come to pass. If you haven’t received Christ yet, then do it now by saying this prayer to God:
My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 1 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. 2 I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins. 3 I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit 4 and that He sits on the right hand of God at this moment, hearing my confession of sin and this prayer. 5 I open up the door of my heart and I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus. 6 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed in my place on the cross at Calvary. 7 You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus, You will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because Your Word, the Bible says so. 8 Your Word says that You will turn no one away, and that includes me. 9 Therefore, I know that You have heard me, and I know that You have answered me, and I know that I am saved. 10 And I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as You command and sin no more. 11
You've just completed the first step in a series of five steps which are necessary to receive salvation. Your second step is to deny yourself and take up the cross daily for the purpose of mortifying yourself, that is, for putting to death your own will, your soulful self, and the world with all of its lusts. All these must be baptized into the death of Christ.
Step three is your resurrection from the satanic life of Adam unto the sinless life of Christ. Step four is your ascension into a position of authority to reign for God on earth, and the fifth step is to reign for God on earth to the end for the purpose of bringing about the kingdom of Heaven on earth. You must learn the Word of God, then submit yourself and do what the Word says, so that the Church and the world may see evidence of your submission to God's Word, His order, and His authority in and by you.
Praise the Lord. May God reward you abundantly.
