False Faiths and Beliefs

e are going to study the many false beliefs taught by many pastors today. Let us study the belief of those who say that they are invulnerable with guns, by sword, and those who are saying that they can’t be penetrated by any deadly weapon. They will just shout Hallelujah Praise the Lord and the bullet will be moved back.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, let us read and digest the verse for us to see if it is true that their basis is really meant for them. In Isaiah chapter 54, here is what was written:

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

God speaks through prophet Isaiah in Israel, to the nation that is a servant of God in the older days. God said concerning Israel, no weapons that were made against you shall prosper. Including the bad statements of the tongue against you, it will not prosper, as God said. This is the legacy of the servants of God.

Who is the servant being referred to that says any weapon made against you will not prosper? Who are those servants of God that are referred in Isaiah?

“Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;”

Who served God in the older days? The Israelites. Theirs is the covenant, the commandments; also theirs is the service to God, also theirs is the promise. They were the ones referred by God in the statement that there are no weapons created against you that will prosper. Including the sharpness of the tongue—the destructives will not penetrate. That is the promise of God. But the question is to whom was that told? Let us know whom God said that, “To them who claims that they are the true church” was this said?

For us not to be misled in reading the Bible and in getting the verse, we need to analyze first to whom this was said. Let us know from the Bible to whom God referred it? Let us just read Isaiah 54:4-5, 17

“Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.”

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper...”

The spouse of God is the one being spoken with here. This is addressed to the spouse of the creator. The one being told to with this promise is the spouse of God. Who is the spouse of God in Biblical terminology? In Hosea, chapter 2, here is what we can read:

“And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.”

The one referred here to be the spouse of God is none other than Israel. Spouse in the sense that God will take them as companion, and God will unite with them in Israel because the meaning of spouse is companion. In a simple sentence, the spouse is a companion, to be beside with. With whom God promised this is to Israel. And the proof that God will accompany Israel; Israel will never be ashamed, which will be read in chapter 2 verse 27 of Joel:

“And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.”

The one promised that will not be put to shame is the nation of God—that is Israel. “And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel …” That is the one referred to in 54:4 and 54:17 that will never be ashamed because that is the known spouse of God. He will accompany Israel. “And the God of Israel said, there are no weapons created against you that shall prosper.”

What God means there, Israel will not be hit by bullets and stabbed by swords? Israel will not be penetrated by any weapon, is that the meaning of it? Has God spoken of material weapons of war? Is that the meaning of it, countrymen?

When the Lord Jesus came, Jesus explained all the things about the promise of God to Israel. Is the meaning of it, Israel will not be penetrated by bullets, that even if crushed by a truck at the speed of 120 the truck will be ruined but he (the person in the truck) will not have any bruises even a bit?

Because others say if you read the Bible, you will get crazy. No. This creates minds. Those that become crazy are those who were already crazy even before reading the Bible because there are no things coming from the Bible that could make men crazy. Nothing from the Lord will harm a person who fears the Lord. There is nothing from God that is evil for his servants.

Does the Bible makes minds crazy? There are really crazy minds that read the Bible so they are really just crazy. But if you are not crazy, you are reading the Bible, you will not get crazy, if you are not crazy, you are reading the Bible, you will not get crazy, it will truly complete your faith in God if you read the Bible.

For it to be said that the interpretation to the verse we read that you will not be penetrated by bullets as said, 45 people shot him, all the bullets moved back while the three persons who shot him were penetrated. They gave an interpretation to the promise of God that there is no weapon made against you that is beneficial and so the tongue will not succeed on you, they gave that a literal interpretation.
