DIGGING DEEP NO. 1024 February 27, 2024 Signs and Symptoms of Demonic Altars Psalm 127:1 NKJV Laboring and Prospering with the Lord A Song of Ascents Of Solomon.

¹ Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;

Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

 

The Bible IS NOT a book ABOUT PRAYER, although it’s filled with prayers.

The Bible IS NOT a book ABOUT CHRISTIANITY, although it has Christianity within it.

The Bible IS NOT a book ABOUT SIN, although it addresses sin.

The Bible IS NOT a book ABOUT MONEY…

 

The Bible IS a book ABOUT A KING & HIS KINGDOM.

The GOSPEL is the REDEMPTIVE STORY of The KING’s Children BACK to HIS KINGDOM, through HIS son CHRIST JESUS by the testimony of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 6:33).

Desired Learning Objective:

1. What is a spiritual embassy and why are they necessary?
2. Who built and rebuilt the Temple of GOD in the Old Testament (OT) and NT?
3. What are the symptoms of being under the influence of a demonic altar?

  

QUESTION #1: What is an altar (spiritual embassy) and why are they necessary?

 

DEFINITION OF TERMS:

What does the Bible mean when it says: Tarry, Gates, and The Christ?

What does the Bible mean when it says: Sanctification, Consecrate, Holy, Reconcile, Righteousness and Sin?

 

Psalm 127:1 NKJV

¹ Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;

 

In Genesis 2, GOD created the garden of Eden to “host” GOD’s laws, principles, and government in a foreign land (earth) so HE can visit at any time and commanded Adam to tend and keep* the garden. The Garden of Eden functioned as a spiritual embassy, allowing man to interact with GOD on Earth, as though HE were still in Heaven (remember the LORD’s prayer in Matthew 6*).

 

The Garden of Eden functioned as a spiritual embassy for the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth because the Earth has been given to men (Psalm 115:16). This means that we’re restricted to this Earth, and we’ve been given authority over the things of the Earth. However, through the Garden of Eden, we were able to commune with GOD on Earth. However, once Adam and Eve were banned from GOD’s embassy, because sin will NOT be tolerated in HIS Kingdom, man stumbled on another technology that brings GOD’s government to Earth; spiritual embassy and consulates better known as… altars, tabernacles, sanctuaries and temples.

 

Psalm 115:16 (NKJV)

¹⁶ The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;

But the earth He has given to the children of men.

 

Genesis 28:10–22 (ESV)

Jacob’s Dream

¹⁰ Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. ¹¹ And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. ¹² And he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it! ¹³ And behold, the Lord stood above it and said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. ¹⁴ Your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. ¹⁵ Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” ¹⁶ Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” ¹⁷ And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”

¹⁸ So early in the morning Jacob took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. ¹⁹ He called the name of that place Bethel (Hebrew: בֵּית אֵל means “the House of God”), but the name of the city was Luz (Hebrew: לוז means “almond tree” or “almond wood”), at the first. ²⁰ Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, ²¹ so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, ²² and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house. And of all that you give me I will give a full tenth to you.”

 

Then JESUS came and taught us directly the wisdom behind accessing Heaven, and authorizing the government of GOD’s Kingdom on earth when HE said:

 

Matthew 16:19 (NKJV)

¹⁹ And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

 

Matthew 18:18–19 (NKJV)

¹⁸ “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

 

Any building, structure, or encasement that’s intended to house “spirits” will operate like an embassy.

 

 

Altars (spiritual embassy) = authorizes spiritual interference & sacrifice (fuel)

Temple/Sanctuary = holy structure which house’s divine spiritual operations

Shrines (means case, chest, or box) = holy structure which house’s demonic spiritual operations; dedicated to a specific deity, ancestor, hero, martyr, saint, daemon, or similar figure of respect, wherein they are venerated or worshipped.

 

 

1 Corinthians 3:16 (NKJV)

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

 

 

ANSWER #1: According to scripture, a prayer* altar functions like a spiritual embassy. A citizen (disciple of Christ JESUS) of the sending nation (the Third Heavens*) will function as an ambassador (priest, prophet, apostle), representing the sending nation’s government, policies, and administrative agendas while serving as the sending nation’s highest level of diplomatic representation in the host nation (world). The prayer altar executes similar duties as physical embassies in that prayer altars are responsible for maintaining political, economic, and legal relations between the two nations. Think of the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., nations don’t need to be allies to be represented in a host nation. As such, the same applies to the Third Heaven and the Kingdom of Darkness. And in ALL circumstances, although the sent ambassador is IN the host nation, the ambassador is NOT OF the host nation.

 

2 Corinthians 5:20–21 (NKJV)

²⁰ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

QUESTION #2: Who built and rebuilt the Temple of GOD in the Old Testament (OT) and NT?

 

1 Chronicles 22:7–10 (NKJV)

⁷ And David said to Solomon: “My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the Lord my God; ⁸ but the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight. ⁹ Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days. ¹⁰ He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son, and I will be his Father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

 

As such, King Solomon (“King of Peace”) was to build in Jerusalem‎ (Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם means “City of GOD” or “City of Peace”) the capital* city of Israel. This took seven** years to complete.

 

DISCUSSION: What do you perceive by King Solomon being commanded to build the Temple of GOD in Jerusalem?

 

The temple was destroyed, and then Zerubbabel, the Governor of Yehud province, at the decree of King Cyrus, was commissioned to rebuild the temple, in Ezra 2-3. Zerubbabel (Hebrew: זְרוּעַ בָּבֶל means “the one sown of Babylon”, in Assyrian-Babylonian means “Seed of Babylon”) rebuilt the temple of GOD and the altar of the God of Israel in 46 years. 

 

John 2:19-21 NJKV
¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

²⁰ Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 

 

 

CHRIST Begins Building the New Temple; Matthew 16:13–20

Jesus takes the disciples aside, as he has done before*. They go to Caesarea Philippi, about 25 miles north of Capernaum and barely inside Israel’s borders. Philip the Tetrarch* son of King Herod, (power is divided in four between his sister Salome I and his sons Herod Archelaus, Herod Antipas, and Philip) was the city’s assigned ruler (governor), reporting only directly to emperor Caesar Augustus. At this time, Philip the Tetrarch began several civil engineering and building projects throughout Caesarea including erecting idol statues. Philip adorned the town and renamed it Caesarea Philippi to honor himself and to distinguish the foundation from his father’s similarly named port of Caesarea.

The city became the capital of the Roman province of Judaea in 6 A.D. The population and ethos here were largely Gentile — “Caesarea” manifested the city’s dedication to emperor Caesar Augustus, and the worship of Pan* — a Greco-Roman fertility deity, often depicted as a half-man, half-goat figure, with goat horns on his head and goat legs; referred to as the lord of shepherds — was common in the region (remember Disney’s Peter Pan and Hercules?).

 

The NT importance of Caesarea Philippi is that, in its environs, Christ gave His last teaching to the apostles (Matt 16:13-20).

 

 

 

Matthew 16:13–20 (NKJV)

Revelation of the Person of the King

¹³ When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

¹⁴ So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

¹⁵ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

¹⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon (Hebrew: שִׁמְעוֹן means “reed/wavering”) Bar-Jonah (Hebrew: בר-יונה means “son of wine-bibber/alcoholic”), for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

 

DISCUSSION: What is the significance of the knowledge of “Christ” and the “Son of the living GOD”?

Revelation of the Church
¹⁸ And I also say to you that you are Peter πέτρος (Greek: Petros means “rock/pebble”) and on this rock πέτρα (Greek: Petra means “boulder/stone”), I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

²⁰ Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

 

//BREAK BREAK//

Mind you, in Greek, there are two* words for “rock”; petros and petra. Petros (Peter) is a small pebble/rock. A derivative of a mountain. A cut-out from a larger manifestation. Whereas, Petra (Revelation of Christ) is the boulder/mountain in which the petros is hewn. Petra gives “birth” to Petros. The foundation of the revelation of Christ (petra), begets the spiritual wisdom of JESUS (petros). This wisdom is manifested through our actions, as we operate as living sacrifices in understanding the identity of JESUS as THE Christ, and THE Son of GOD. This wisdom can only be accessed through the Holy Spirit, and by the delegative authority of the Father.    

Petra, Jordan – built in 300 B.C. by the Nabataeans, who carved palaces, temples, tombs, storerooms, and stables into pink sandstone cliffs; nicknamed the “Rose City.”

Jesus did not say to Peter, “You are “rock” and on this “rock” I will build my church.” Jesus said, “You are Petros (Peter), and upon this petra (mountain), I will build my church*.”

1 Peter 2:4–7 (NKJV)

The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People

⁴ Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, ⁵ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,

“Behold, I lay in Zion

A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,

And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

⁷ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,

“The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone,”

 

Isaiah 9:10 (NKJV)

¹⁰ “The bricks have fallen down,

But we will rebuild with hewn stones;

The sycamores are cut down,

But we will replace them with cedars.”

 

Isaiah 51:1 (NKJV)

The Lord Comforts Zion

¹ “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness,

You who seek the Lord:

Look to the rock from which you were hewn,

And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.

 

GOD only builds with stones; whilst Satan only builds with bricks; we know this because…

 

Genesis 11:3 (NKJV)

³ Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.

 

Also, “asphalt” is a semi-solid form of petroleum and is a mixture of crushed stone, gravel, sand, and a sticky, black, petroleum-based substance called bitumen. These ingredients are carefully blended to create a durable yet flexible material. Mortar on the other hand is also a mixture, but it’s a complex mixture composed of cement, fine sands, and lime; it is used as a binding material when building with brick, block, and stone. Because asphalt is softer and more flexible than mortar asphalt is intended for building roads; whilst mortar is meant for buildings.

 

Prophetically speaking, building with “bricks and asphalt” is to use the doctrine of hyper-grace, a mixture of the holy and unholy, passivity in the church, and using pagan principles to try and advance the body of Christ; ultimately human wisdom*.  Whereas, building with “stones and mortar” is to derive your instructions from the GOD of light and execute them according to HIS prescribed instructions, then as you add the “water of life (scriptures)” it intended structure will harden and take a stronger form, over time. In the beginning, building with asphalt is very malleable but eventually it renders itself brittle and ill-equipped to handle heavy loads over time. Building with mortar; however, is also soft initially, over time, it becomes hardened, stronger, rigid, and stable, and over time, if mortar moves, it moves to compensate for the spacing of the stone, and the load that it bears. Mortar does not break, it only get more hardened and able to bear more load in time.

 

According to the Bible; building with “bricks and asphalt” means:

– using formulaic knowledge to advance spiritual agendas

– being too process driven, and relying on your intellect rather than the stirring of the Holy Spirit

– being too vested in protecting your reputation/image, so you work to please men vs. GOD

– seeking the approval of men, rather than the approval of GOD

– making only personal sacrifices, and not yielding to prescribed spiritual sacrifices by the Holy Spirit

– following the proven trends, patterns, schemes, systems, formulas, and algorithms of the world (business, government, economics etc.); then expecting GOD to endorse them; especially for Kingdom matters

– copy and paste vs. new and fresh

 

ANSWER #2:  According to scripture, Solomon שְׁלֹמֹה (derived from Hebrew: Shalom שָׁלוֹם; “King of Peace”) built the Temple of GOD and Zerubbabel ספר זְרֻבָּבֶל Governor of Yehud province (means “the seed of Babylon) rebuilt the Temple of GOD in the OT. This was a prophetic sign of what was to come, pointing to the new covenant where JESUS (“Prince of Peace”) built the NEW Temple of GOD in the NT and we, the new covenant disciples who have made a covenant with JEHOVAH through spiritual sacrifices, will each be as LIVING STONES, not bricks, though rejected by the world, but chosen by GOD and to help rebuild the mansions/temples of GOD in our hearts using altars.

 

WARNING: To minister and teacher of the gospel; believe it or not, you’re all building something, but what material are you building with? Even if you do not have a physical structure to congregate; you’re still building, but with spiritual materials. Are you building with the Rhema of the revelation of JESUS the Christ, and JESUS the Son of the living GOD (living stones hewn from Petra) or are you using business schemes that have been tried and tested by men, but have no semblance of divine guidance, using quotas, and charts to discern levels of ministry effectiveness? In time, these ministers will render themselves too brittle to withstand the weight of GOD’s calling on their lives (bricks and asphalt).

Romans 10:16–18 (NKJV)

¹⁶ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” ¹⁷ So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

¹⁸ But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed:

“Their sound has gone out to all the earth,

And their words to the ends of the world.”

 

Jeremiah 1:9–10 (NKJV)

⁹ Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:

“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

¹⁰ See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,

To root out and to pull down,

To destroy and to throw down,

To build and to plant.”

 

I have been sent by the GREAT ONE, Jehovah M’kaddesh (means “The Lord Who Sanctifies”) for this assignment.

Matthew 11:12 (NKJV)

¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

2024 PROPHESY: Zerubbabel Will REBUILD the LORD’s Temple.

 

3. COMBATING Negative Inheritances:

How To Know You Are Under the Influence of a Demonic Altar? Remember Tom Brady?

 

Anything that occurs three or more times has an originator, creator, and designer.

When dealing with altars, don’t go SEARCHING for spirits, rather search for men.
According to spiritual laws, men and women are the architects who permit spirits.

 

Exodus 20:4–6 (NKJV)

⁴ “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; ⁵ you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, ⁶ but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

 

Deuteronomy 5:8–10 (NKJV)

⁸ ‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; ⁹ you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, ¹⁰ but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

 

John 4:27–38 (NKJV)

Christ Witnesses to the Disciples

²⁷ And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”

²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, ²⁹ “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” ³⁰ Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

³¹ In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³² But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

³³ Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. ³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! ³⁶ And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. ³⁷ For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ ³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

 

Galatians 6:6–10 (NKJV)

Be Generous and Do Good

⁶ Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

⁷ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. ⁹ And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

DISCUSSION: Define in ONE WORD what JESUS meant to “reap that for which you have not labored”?

 

Assess your life and circumstances to determine if any of these symptoms pertain to you… if they do; it is HIGHLY LIKELY you and your family are under the government of a demonic altar!

 

These patterns/cycles include but are not limited to:

• consistent miscarriages
• unnatural poverty despite being hardworking
• same-age bracket deaths
• untimely, and early deaths
• recurrent homosexuality
• lack of promotion
• raising wayward children
• barrenness; infertility; sterility
• mental health sicknesses (depression, autism, suicidal ideations, etc.)
• history of anger/rage/violence
• addictions
• after sleeping; having marks, physical injuries, or unusual scars on your body
• blood-borne ailments
• history of promiscuity/spirit spouses/soul ties*
• history of sexual trauma; especially before the age of consent
• exposure to demonic/altar ritualism
• intrusive, disruptive, compulsive thoughts
• consistently smelling pungent, putrid, and foul aromas
• seeing yourself dying, speaking death over yourself, saying/wishing you were dead
• eating, drinking, or consuming items offered to idols
• consistently having sexual/intercourse dreams with people other than your spouse
• someone/thing in your dreams looking to steal from you, kidnap you, torture you
• in your dreams: singing and dancing near bodies of water, naked, in the forest, meeting and talking with people you do not know, but they seem to know you, being at a gravesite, being buried alive, visiting the dead or being visited by the dead
• attending and participating in ritualistic events (tribal weddings, shrines etc.)
• practicing witchcraft (demonic power): rebellion, gangs, scorpion spirit, gardeners/druids, architects, psion, Magic (illusionists), Magik* (conjurer, warlocks, wizards, witches), Mystics (monks, gurus, shamans), spells, curses, covens & hives, mage* (Magi) // 1 Samuel 15:23, Numbers 22:10-17, Galatians 5:19
• practicing sorcery (demonic wisdom): occultism** (cults, Greek life*, elitist groups*) consulting with elemental spirits, demonically inspired music, grotesque piercings*, unnatural body modifications*, literature, potions, charms, superstitions, tokens, sexual deviance/immorality, BDSM, violence against animals/persons/self, illicit drugs // Acts 8:9-10, Revelation 9:21, Galatians 3:1-10
• practicing divination (demonic knowledge): [they love all things spiritual] hypnosis, séance, python spirit, seers*, palm reading, tarot cards, dream catchers, symbolic tattoos*, fortune telling, Ouija boards, necromancy (dead), astrology, horoscopes, scrying (crystal ball, mirror gazing, black mirror/obsidian, crystal skulls, precious gems), consulting physics/mediums, etc. // Genesis 3:1-24; Hosea 4:6, Acts 16:16-17

 

These signs and symptoms HIGHLY LIKELY indicate demonic altars are operational in your life and you must erect your divine altar, not your pastor, church, or prayer group**… but you individually to stop such manipulations of Satan and his agents.

 

ANSWER #3: According to scripture, signs and symptoms of demonic altars are shreds of evidence in your life, your family, city, community, state, or nation of negative inheritances. Recognizing the science that spiritual seeds were planted, invisible to the naked eyes, have begun bearing fruits in your lives and reaping a harvest cultivated by demons. Inheritances are a spiritual law taught to us by GOD and JESUS because whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7-8).

 

BIBLE LOGIC:

– The SOURCE is the SOLUTION

– If GOD causes a problem; GOD MUST solve the problem (GOD shutting/opening the Ark)

– If an angel causes a problem; an angel MUST solve the problem (Lucifer vs. Angel Michael)

– If a man causes a problem; a man MUST solve the problem (Adam vs. JESUS*)

– If a woman causes a problem; a woman MUST solve the problem (slave girl vs. Lydia)

– If a King causes a problem; a King MUST solve the problem (King Saul vs. King David)

– If a Priest causes a problem; a Priest MUST solve the problem (Eli vs. Samuel)

– If a Prophet causes a problem; a Prophet MUST solve the problem (Elymas/Bar-Jesus vs. Paul)
