(Isa.4 ) The Meaning of seven Womenholding one Man
Author: YaoLianghong
The lastchapterdescribed how, because of the disobedience of the Church, God wouldtake awaytheir bread and water, and God would forsake the unreformedEleventhHourChurch.So the Laodicean church was spat out. The SINS of the church willleadto unrest and disaster in the future of Jerusalem (China).Thischapterdescribes the trial of the Universal Church! Those Christians in namewho eattheir own flesh and drink their own blood will mourn and be ashamed.Those who have rooted their faith in Jesus' word,Jesus will blot outtheir sin, and their names will be written in the book oflife!
[Isaiah 4:1]In that day seven women will takeholdof one man and say, "We will eat our own food and wear our ownclothes.But let us be called by your name; take away our shame."
"In thatday" is the day of judgment inchapter three, which is the continuation ofChapter three!The third chapter isthe judgment of The true Church of God andher country , and this chapter is the continuation of thejudgment. Judge whom?The Babylonian Church, the Universal ChristianChurch.What is the state of theUniversal Church before the judgment seat ofGod's righteousness?
"Sevenwomen willseize one man." Do you know who these seven women are? Arethere sevenchurches in Revelation? "Seven" means complete,whole, and representsthe universal church of today, the Church of Babylon.Andthe seven women shallhold on to one man, that is, the man whom the universalChurch shall hold on to,that is Jesus.This means that all churches will lookto Jesus to save her andrecognize her in the future.But they also say,"We eat our own food andwear our own clothes." That is to say, althoughthese people want to besaved andthey hold on to Jesus so that he will acknowledge and savethem.They eat their own food and wear their own clothes(without therighteousness of Christ).They did not eat the foodJesus gave them, and they didnot have the clothes he gave them to cover themselves with. So will Jesussavethese women who have no real marital relationship with Jesus?Will Jesuscertifyher? It's impossible!
What does itmean toeat your own food and wear your own clothes?What are we eating now?Isit necessaryto eat God's word as food for our spiritual growth?Did not Jesus say:I am the bread of life?He whoeats this bread will live forever…Itis the spirit that gives life, but theflesh profitless. The words I speak to youare spirit and life [John 6:48-63].Onlythe church that eats and drinks Jesus' word haslife, and Jesus recognizes her.But the seven women ate not the word of Jesus,but their own food, which wastheir own theory, the doctrine of the pastors andelder. He who puts on his ownclothes is justified in his owneyes, not by faith, not by faith in the Words ofChrist, the Prophets.Theirfood and clothing were not provided by their husband,so Jesus would notrecognize such a wife.
Do you remember thatin Matthew 22, there is a guest whoattends the king's banquet without a dresson? What happens to thisperson?Dragged out, bound, and cast into the darkness,weeping and gnashing ofteeth. Who does this guest represent?It means that todaythe universal Churcheats its own food and wears its own clothes.Not eating thebread that came downfrom heaven, not putting on the robe of Christ, not havingthe righteousness ofChrist.For this reason, when Jesus returned,they are the menwhose hands and feet will be bound and willbe thrown into outerdarkness.There theywill be weeping and gnashing of teeth. .(Matt.22:13)Nowlook at the description of these seven women in the Bible. [Matthew7:22]In that day many will say to me,"Lord, Lord, have we not preached inyour name, and cast out demons inyour name, and performed many miracles in yourname?"Then I will tell them plainly, "I neverknew you. Get away fromme, you evildoers!"This "evildoer" also representsthe sevenwomen,and refers to the universal fall of the Christian Churchtoday.Theyare christians in name only, they go by the wide gate, they go by thehighroad,and they belong to theevil class!
How did Jesus teachhis disciples at thattime? In the time of Jesus, there was a miraculous sign offive loaves and twofish. How many people were satisfied with the five loavesand two fish? Besideswomen and children, there are five thousand more to eat,aren't there? If youthink about it, do we often get together with more women ormore children, ormore men?Women have many children. It says here that therewere five thousandmen alone, besides women and children. Well, if you thinkabout it, more than5,000 people, including women and children, more than 20,000people have enoughto eat.So, so many people go toJesus. Why?All for the sake offilling oneself up with bread.Because it washard to eat enough food at thattime, they searched for Jesus all day long notfor real life, but for the fleshto eat bread and be satisfied. What did Jesussay about them? We see:
[John6:26-27]Jesus answered,”Itell you the truth , you are looking for me , not because yousaw miraculoussigns but because you ate the loaves andhad your fill.Donot work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternallife, whichthe Son of Man will give you.On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.Jesus rebukedthose who followed him diligently, because they followed himnot for spirituallife, but for physical needs.Precisely this is the belief ofthe members of theuniversal Church today, which is based onworldly benefits andearthly blessings.Such believers are found naked in thejudgment, without therobe of Christ.Then they said:
"But let usbecalled by your name; Take away our shame." What was the greatest shameofthe women of ancient Israel? No husband. Then the universal church willbejudged as having no husband (Jesus).They came in naked, without the robesofChrist. Not being recognized by Jesus, not having a husband, then that'stheirshame.Is it shameful that Jesus denied her and did not save her eventhough heclearly said he believed in Jesus?This just shows that they arebelievers inname only!
Why is that?Becausethey eat their own food and do not eat Jesus’ word, they do not know Jesus, andJesus will not recognizethem. Because eating the word of Jesus gives youlife (John6:63).And it was the words of Jesus that judged them.What Did Jesussay?[John12:48] Hewho rejects me and does not accept my words has a judge, and the wordI spokewill judge him on the last day.Isit time for Jesus' words to come true today?Are thewords of Jesus, theProphets, judging them?Jesus said his word would judge theworld (all nations)at the last day.Is the church on trial now?Is theuniversal Church showing itsnakedness at the last Judgment precisely becauseit is eating its own food andnot the word of Jesus?Where are the words ofJesus? It's in the Prophets.
AncestorsandProphets: for itwas the voice of JesusChrist who spoke to his people through the prophets ofthe Old Testament.
[Ro1:2] Which he promised in the Scriptures by hisprophets.
[Ro 16:26] And themystery nowrevealed and made known through theprophetic written by thecommandof the eternal God ,so that all nations might believe and obey him.
Do these versestellus that Jesus' words are in the Prophets?The prophets are the voice inwhichJesus spoke to his people, theProphets are the word of faith that willbe believed by all people, andthrough them the Gospel is made known. Today,then, the Prophets are our modern truth, the basis by which God judgeshispeople. These are the words of Jesus, the blood and flesh of Jesus. Ifyoudon't eat them, what are you eating? You eat nothing but your own words,thewords of the priest — human dung cakes.How can there be life by eatingthesehuman dung cakes?Jesus did not give you this food. How will Jesus knowyou?
Some people ask:Isn'tGod's law evidence of judgment? How does it become theProphets again?For the Prophets are the way to bring men to the law ofGod, to Jesus.
The law of Godhas notchanged since time immemorial, and it is the basis on which men arejudged.Didthe Jews keep the Ten Commandments when they rejected Jesus?They kept thecommandments. But the law is only an image of God's character.Jesus is the realone. The body (Jesus) is greater than theappearance (Sabbath, law).When the real body meets the appearance,they reject the real body.All appearancesare worthless and meaningless, just likethe Jewish sacrifice.When Jesus came,they refused Jesus and killed sheep and sacrifice again, and keeping theSabbathwas meaningless and doomed!
As thedisciplespicked heads of grain to eat on the Sabbath, the Pharisees accusedthem ofviolating the Sabbath. What did Jesus say: "...Haveyou not readin the law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple desecrate theSabbath and are guiltless? But I tell you that onegreater than thetemple is here.Ilove mercy, not sacrifice. 'If you had known what this means,you would nothave condemned the innocent. For the Son of Man is Lord of theSabbath (Matt.12:1-8)."This tells us that Jesus is greaterthan the temple. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. Jesus is greater than theSabbath. Jesus is greater than the law;There is no point inobserving theSabbath by a person who rejects Jesus. That is a legalist.Though the discipleshad pinched theheads of grain as if they were breaking the Sabbath, Jesus didnot think theywere, for he preferred mercy to sacrifice.The disciples believedthat Jesus wasthe Messiah much wiser than the Pharisees who kept the Sabbathand refused thelordof the Sabbath. Jesus acceptedthe disciples butrejected the legalists.
Today Jesusspeaksthrough the Prophets to the people of the last age, and the Adventistchurchrejects Jesus' voice to this age, just as the Jews rejected Jesus atthebeginning. To keep the Sabbath day to death is meaningless andshecannot besaved.By contrast, the Gentiles and the peopleof the Babylonian church whoreceived the light of the Prophets, even thoughthey had not kept the Sabbath,received Jesus' voice to this time, eating anddrinking Jesus' flesh and blood,and accepting Jesus.When they understood thevoice of Jesus, they would alsoobserve the Sabbath (Isa 56:6), and they wouldbe saved.Because Jesus said, "In the last day his wordswill judge the world (John12:48)!"
What willhappen tothose who refuse to eat Jesus' bread (his word) or wear his clothes (hisrobe)but want to eat their own food?We look at the Spirit of prophecy:
The parable ofChrist,Chapter24 without a robe, paragraph 9
[but when the king came in to seethe guests,each one's truth is revealed. For the king prepared a wedding dress foreach of theguests. This is the gift ofthe king. The guests who wore the dressshowedthe respect to the host of thefeast. But there was a mandressed in theclothes he wore as ordinary citizens. He refused tocomply with the kingcommanded in preparation. He disdained to put on the dress which hadbeenprepared for him at a great price. So he insulted his Lord.To the king’squestion, "Why did you come here whithout wearing awedding dress?He was speechless.He condemned himself. Then the king said."Bind his hands and feet, andcast him out into thedarkness."
When the king came into see the guests,"to see" also translated as "to examine and tojudge."The guest is the representative of allChristians who believe inJesus. This refers to a common phenomenon thatoccurred when God judged theuniversal Christians in the last day: "Therewas a man who was stillwearing the clothes of his ordinary citizens".This man was the nominalChristian who thought himself righteous and made hisrobe without the words ofJesus.They were alleating their own food, thinking that by believing in Jesusand doing more good,they would be saved by bringing more people into thechurch.Think smugly: I amsuch a good person, so devout, never sin, and so good,I do not believe Jesus will not save me!Almost all christians in Christianityare such self-righteous believers!
Does it meanthat Godhas a dressfor everyone?God has dressed you and me. For the precious blood ofJesus is shedfor everyone who trusts in him.But there are some who do not eatthe flesh ordrink the blood of Jesus, who do not learn his word,thinking thatthey can be saved by doing what is good in conscience. Thesepeople make up themajority of the church. You want him to learn the Sabbathtruth, and he says,"We only need to believe in Jesus." Is it byobserving the days thatwe are saved? You asked him to read books about theinstitution of the Sanctuaryand the message of the Three Angels, and he saidknowing those meant you weremore religious than others?Does that mean you'resaved? You asked him to studythe truth of the prophets of the last age, and hesaid, "You know best, butyou are always divisive.Areyoulike those who believe in Jesus?"Do you haveJesus' love?These churches,which do not eat Jesus' food and eat their own food,are those who want to earnsalvation by their own efforts.Do Christians earnsalvation by merit?Idolatersdo good. They are better than us in many ways. Canthey save themselves? It'simpossible! We are saved by faith, by faith in thefulfillment of Jesus' wordin this age, notby doing what is good and pretendingto be good.Of course it isnecessary to do good, it is the Christian's dutyandthe duty to do, but this isby no means the way to salvation.
And those whoacceptthe original point want the righteousness of the Gentiles to be hisown,are evenmore contrary to the doctrine of Christ, and cannot be saved!What dothey saywhen they accept the original point? "They are very loving andrighteous,and the Gentiles are better than we are.So we will learn from them".Do wewho believe in Jesus want to learn the righteousness of theGentiles? Is theirrighteousness righteousness? It is self-righteous.Righteousness that does notcome from Jesus is a filthy garment. That is whythey will also be holding on toJesus: "Lord!Did I not drive out demons inyour name, preach in yournameand do all kinds of miracles in your name?"How did Jesus say tohim,"I never knew you, you evildoers, get away from me!"It is such asadand hopeless sentence that these people will hear in the future! Whatwouldanother crowd look like when the men in their own clothes and eating theirownfood were wailing in despair?
[ Isaiah 4:2-4 ]In that day the Branch of theLord will be beautiful and glorious, and thefruit of the earth will beglorious and plenteous for them that areescaped of Israel.The Lord has washedaway the filth of the daughters of Zionby a spirit of righteousness and aspirit of burning; He cleaned Jerusalemfrom the blood of allmurderers.Thenthose who remain in Zion and those who remain in Jerusalem willbe called holy,everyone who is written in the book of life and who livesin Jerusalem.
"In thatday," the day of God's judgment.It isalso time for us to grasp thesetruths.We have said before that the propheticvision was opened, that thejudgment of the living was come (the judgment ofthe church that remained).Inparticular, the trial of a person (a livingperson) officially began on June 11,2017.This is the time when "thebranch of the Lord will be beautiful andglorious, and the fruit of the earthwill be glorious and flourishing for thosewho have escaped of Israel."The day of God will bring doom to the wickedand salvation to the righteous. Insaying that the fruits of the earth bringbeauty and honor to those who haveescaped, this means that the remnant ofBabylon who have escaped from thebackwardness of Babylon will be blessed withsplendor and splendor, and theywill be accepted by God!
The "sproutfromthe Lord" is the savior and savior, representing Jesus (Isa11:1;Jer23:5-6, 33:15;A 3:8, 6:12).This prophecy was supposed to be fulfilledon thephysical Israelites, but due to the nation's failure, it will befulfilled on the spiritual Israelites (true remnant) when Christ iscoming again.And it is by faith that these true remnant have receivedthis greatblessing, the message of the Judgment of the living, the Prophets!
That is to say,eventhough God at the last judgment the universal Church is in astate of depravityand self-righteousness, like the forsaken Jews. But theglory which Jesus wllachieve for theremnantwho escaped must be realized. To whom?
“Thefruit of the earth shall be glorious andplenteous for them that are escaped ofIsrael.”“The fugitives of Israel”means the survivors who are theremnant that escaped from the snare of Babylon. It is the remnant who will glorify theinheritance of God andproclaim the glory of God and become thewitnesses to Jesus in the last..
"The Lordwashedaway the filthiness of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood ofJerusalem,by the spirit of righteousness and by the spirit of fire.”The daughters of Zion"means church. God will blotout the SINS of the true Church and wash awayall their transgressions andunrighteousness. This tells us that Jesus' lastwork in the Holy of Holies wasto blot out the SINS of the repentant people, andthat is what he is doing now.So how is this sin blotted out?
[Isa 62:9-10] Butthose who reap it will eat itand praise the Lord.And they that gather it shalldrink it in the courts of mysanctuary. Passthrough ,pass through thegates!Preparethe way for the people. Build up,build up the highway! Remove thestones.Raise abanner for the nations.
Here is a clearmessage: at harvest time, the end of theworld, those who gather the food oftruth will eat and drink the word of theLord in the sanctuary. But we have nowentered the stage of the great Day ofAtonement-the Holy of Holies, andtherefore we shall eat and drink of the food of the Holy of Holies. If we eatand drink thefood of the Holy of Holies, the sin will be blottedout.There are three things in the Holy ofHolies:
1、Twotablets of the Testimony inscribed with The Tencommandments of God;TheTen Commandments (especiallythe Sabbath) are the focal point of the struggle betweengood and evil in theend. It’s the opposite of the mark of God and the markof the beast.Itsimportance is obvious!
2、Thegolden pot of manna: the word of God (Jesus),including the spirit of prophecy;All the Prophets, thevoice of Jesus speaking through the Old Testament prophets to ourpeople at theend of time, is being fulfilled and is of great importance.
3、Aaron'ssprouting rod represents the gift of thespirit of prophecy and a new light.Andthe prophecies of the Prophets arethe fulfillment ofthe word of Christ in the last age and the new light of the last age. It isdirectly pointing out the SINS of God's people in this eraandit is the cleansing of God'speople’ sin .Itsimportance is self-evident!
Thisis the foodof the sanctuary, andthe precious food that God's people need to gather in thelasttime (truth).What we are gathering today are the truths we need to know onthisDay of atonement. Only those who eat and drink these truths will be blottedoutof sin, will be reapers, and will be gathered into the storehouses ofheaven.They are the ones who have become in the last age the rebuilders ofpaths anddwellings. It is also those who eat and drink Jesus' words about theHoly OfHolies who will lift up a banner for all nations!
" Thosewho remain in Zion and live in Jerusalem at the time ,evenall that arewritten in the book of life will be called holy. The remnant of Zion are to eat and drink the words of Jesus and are justified byfaith. Today they also continue to preach and accept "thebook of Isaiahand theProphets because the words of the prophets book areJesus’words.Jesus’ flesh and blood is the only antidote to our sin . Whenthey shall be sanctified by the work of the Prophets , the SINS of theserepentant people shall be blotted outcompletely.So God shall register theirnames in the book of life, andthey shall be sanctified. They are the lastwitnesses of God. They will bepresented to Christ as virgins. This is aglorious church, without stain orwrinkle. Let's move on:
Christ in hisSanctuary chapter 10Christ's last work in his heavenly sanctuary
【Jer..50:20."In thosedays, at that time,"declares the Lord, “search will be made for Israel’s guilt,but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah ,butnone will be found, for Iwill forgive the remnant I spare.”[ Isaiah 4:2-4 ]Inthat day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and thefruit ofthe earth will beglorious and plenteous for them that are escaped ofIsrael……..Then those who remain in Zion and thosewho remain in Jerusalemwill be called holy, everyone who is written in thebook of life who lives inJerusalem..The work of finding out the cases and daubing outthe sinsis to be done before Jesus’s second coming. The dead are to be judged by thebooks are written Therefore a man’s sin cannot be blotted out before thecase is examined and decided . The apostle Peterhad clearly explains:"Youshould repentand be converted,so that your SINS may be blotted out. In thisway,shall comethe day of ease from the presence of the Lord.[ACTS 3:19, 20].After the end ofthe trial, Christ shall come, reward every man accordingto his behavior.
It tells us that thework of investigating, judging andexpunging sin will bedone before Jesus’Second Coming, and Jesus is doing it now.We know thatjudging the dead had beendone since 1844. When did the trial of the living begin?It was the seventhangel who trumpeted– the opening of TheProphets, at the end of 2012.Thejudgment begins first in God's family (thetrue Church),- the Church of theEleventh Hour Movement.The individual trial began on June 11, 2017.The use ofThe book of Jeremiah and thebook of Isaiah to illustrate the work of the trialand the blotting out of sintells us that the prophets and the books of Isaiahand Jeremiah are the toolsof the blotting out of sin. Can our SINS be wiped outby the whips and corporalpunishment of ascetics? Can we be holy by doing good?No ! We are all sanctified by the faith.[2Th2:13]…….For from the beginning he choseyou to be saved throughsanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth. [Eph5:26]To make thechurch holy , cleasing her by the washing with water through the word.Thistells us that only the faith can sanctify the churchand the people, not bydoing good or any other means! And the truth is thetruth of Jesus, the word ofJesus, for his word is life, truth, and way, and the necessary medicine forsanctification.The Prophets are the voice of Jesusspeaking to our times,the truth and good medicine that smears the SINS of the last remnant. If you donothave this link, you will eat your own flesh and drink your own blood tojustifyyourself, and your SINS will not be wiped out. Jesus will not approve!
When the judgment isfinished and the victorious remnant are ready, Jesus will come in the clouds!
[Isaiah4:5-6]Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over thosewho assemblethere a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night;over all theglory willbe a canopy. It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of theday,and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.
"the whole MountZion," "Mount Zion," "Thechurch," as we know it, andthe word "whole" means that all thesaved remnant of the world areunited in the truth (the truth of the prophets).That is to say, by thetime Jesus finishes his judicial work at the Holy Of Holies, allGod's people scattered throughout the world have been cleansed andtheirSINS are wiped out by receiving the same light of the truth, the Prophets.Theyarestamped with the seal of the living God, and these are 144,000.And then whatwill we do ? When the image of the beast is issued, there will be a warwith the papacy. Then God's people begin to cross theRed Sea as the Israelitesentered Canaan!Was that when the Israelites went outof Egypt and into Canaan,"The Lord led theirway by day in a pillar of cloud;He gives them light by night in a pillaroffire, so that they can walk day and night. The pillar of cloud by day andthepillar of fire by night did not depart from the presence of the people (Ex13:21-22)?This is how,after God'strue people are stamped, Jesus will come out of the Holy of Holies topunish the peopleof the earth, and it is timefor God's people to be putto the test of life and death.
God used thepillar ofcloud and fire as a guide for the people of Israel, as a shelter forthem fromthe rain and wind. He is also a beacon for the people of the lastage and ashelter for us. We look at the Spirit of prophecy:
Patriarchs and ProphetsXXV Exodus 7
【In the prophecy of Isaiah, there was a comfort in themostmoving words,which is to use the pillars of cloud and fire torepresent God’s care for his people , in their last big battles againstthe forces of evil"theLord will do the same in MountZion,and above all, have a smokeby day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night;for upon all the gloryshall be covered. There will be a pavilion, to give shadefrom the heat by day,also can be used as a hiding place, away from the storm."[Isa4:5, 6].
The prophecyofIsaiah, Mother Huai said, represented God's care and guidance for his peoplein the final battleagainst the forces of evil by pillars of cloud and fire,demonstrating that Godwill use his power to care for the people of Israelcomingout of Egypt in the last great tribulation and persecution. It alsoreminds usthat in the last days when darkness will cover the earth and thenations, God will guide us in the light with a cloud of truthand will not becarried away by darkness(false theory).Let us find God's pillar ofcloud (truth)leading us and acting as our guide in the dark and overcastworld. Now it is!For example, when the unprecedented COVID-19 happened inWuhan today, theuniversal Christians saw it as the same as SARS, blindlypraying to God to havemercy on Wuhan and protect it. But the people of truthknew that this was a signthat the period of Grace in China was coming to anend, and that the plague wasGod's means of judging China, punishing atheism,and that is the punishment ofthose who haveheard the last revivalistchurch’s message of the trial of theliving and turneda deaf ear to it .Since Wuhan isthe starting point of theEleventh Hour Movement, thepeople here are the first to get the truth, so theyare also the first to bejudged, which is also a warning to other provinces.Those who died in theplague were hardened sinners who refused to accept thetruth and shut theirdoors. They would not have believed in Jesus even if Godhad given them anotherhundred years to live. And their destiny is settled –perish!
Therefore,today'suniversal Christianity refuses to the word of Christ whichsanctifies the people- The Prophets,and thefts the nameof Christ to pray for the Wuhan plague. Infact, it is like a fake doctor whohas no medical qualification to treat apatient. Instead of curing the patient,he will become infected and die.Today,universal Christianity issued a prayerasking the Lord to stop the plague andsave Wuhan. It was the seven women whoheld a man (Jesus) in a helplesssupplication. God would never listen to thesefake wives who ate their own foodand wore their own clothes.Instead of savingothers ,they will weep and gnash their teeth.
Of course ,the plaguein Wuhanto will be over , but not because of the seven women (the universalChristian)asked for the results but because of the few who tried to cryout toGod to see in this city there are one hundred and twentythousand peoplewho cannot tell the differences between the right hand and the left (refers tomany spiritual gnome who don't understand the truth ) ,and pray God to continue toextendthe result of the grace period,and because of the enlightenedChina authority did not force the remnant to win the opportunity toextend the graceperiod.
While the seven womenare drinking blindly and without regard for theconsequences, God uses his mostmoving and comforting words toencourage the true people in the final battle,the true people who ate anddrank the words of Jesus, the remnant of theProphets.When will be the last battle? The greatest battle foruniversalChristianity is the battle with the last false theory. For theuniversal people, the trouble of the beast is thegreatest battle. But God willlead with a pillar of cloud and firethose who hunger and thirst forrighteousness on the way to heaven. God willlead his people to victory in thelast great battle with the signs that ledthem through the Red Sea. Those whoeat their own food and wear their ownclothes will become the victims ofSatan!And God will be a refuge for truerepentance, a refuge from the storm .Athousand shall fall atyourside, and ten thousand at yourright hand; but it shall not come nigh you(the true remnant– (Ps91:7)
