Child of Hell
Matthew 23:15 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."
Jesus called the scribes and Pharisees hypocrites in Matthew 23:15 and their convert a "child of hell".
Isaiah 5:14 "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it."
Hell is a woman according to this verse and based on Matthew 23:15, she is a mother i.e. hell has a womb.
Job 3:11 "Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?"
A woman's womb is her belly according to this verse.
Jonah 2:1 "Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly,"
Jonah 2:2 "And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice."
Hell has a "belly" and Jonah 2:2 is a reference to:
Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
There are a number of things here:
Jonah equates fish's belly to the belly of hell in Jonah 2:2;
Jesus equates whale's belly to the heart of the earth in Matthew 12:40.
Comparing Scripture with Scripture, the Bible tells us that the heart of the earth is hell's belly.
Jeremiah 16:16 "¶ Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks."
Moreover, Jesus also said in these two verses:
Matthew 4:19 "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Mark 1:17 "And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
Therefore, the Bible equates men to fishes in these three verses. This goes along with:
Revelation 20:13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."
The sea is where fishes live in. In Genesis 1:21-22, God said to the fishes "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas". The sea is where fishes are birthed and there they multiply and fill the waters. In like manner, hell's belly is where every "child of hell" is birthed and they multiply and fill the whole earth.
Psalms 139:15-16 "My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."
The womb is where every "child of hell" (every sinner) is birthed. In Psalms 139:15-16, the Bible compares a woman's womb to "the lowest parts of the earth".
Deuteronomy 32:22 "For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."
Deuteronomy 32:22 tells us that earth is a woman, and God's anger has set on fire the foundations of the mountains beneath the surface of the earth and shall burn unto the lowest hell.
Psalms 86:13 "For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell."
Compare Psalms 86:13 to Deuteronomy 32:22. The Bible tells us that God has "delivered" (past tense) the soul of the psalmist from "the lowest hell". This goes along with Psalms 139:15-16 which says "I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth".
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."
Jeremiah 1:5 further confirms the above teachings. The woman's womb is where every every sinner is birthed, yet God who foreknew the end from the beginning has in his mercy delivered the souls of every child of hell who will repent, from the lowest hell.
John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Acts 13:10 "And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?"
Every "child of hell" has a father. The Bible tells us in these two verses that the father of every "child of hell" is the Devil.
Luke 8:11 "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God."
"Seed" is that which produce offspring. Jesus equates “seed” to the word of God.
Matthew 13:24-25 "Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way."
The good seed is the word of God, but there is an enemy who came and sowed seeds of "tares" in the field. While the good seeds produce wheat, the seeds of tares produce tares.
Matthew 13:30 "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."
The seed of wheat will produce children of God which the angels will gather into the kingdom of God. The seed of tares will produce children of the Devil which the angels will gather in bundles to be burned.
Matthew 23:15 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."
The good seed is the word of God which when sown in the good ground of an honest and good heart will produce born again Bible-believing Christians. The seed of tares are the teachings of the scribes and the Pharisees which when sown in other grounds will produce "twofold more the child of hell". These are the lying words which the enemy deviseth to destroy man:
Isaiah 32:7 "The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right."
Lying words are contrary to the word of God as much as darkness is contrary to light. This term "lying words" is found exactly 4 times in the King James Bible, as much as there are also 4 gospel books: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
1 John 2:22 "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."
An antichrist is a liar and a child of the Devil. A child of the Devil is also a child of hell. The teachings of the scribes and the Pharisees produce "twofold more the child of hell" than they themselves.
Daniel 2:9 "But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof."
"Seed" is a genetic term. The seed of "lying and corrupt words" will produce corrupt trees:
Matthew 7:15-20 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Luke 11:39 "And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness."
Also in this verse, Jesus calls the Pharisees false prophets, bridged to Matthew 7:15 by the word "ravening". The Pharisees are wolves in sheep's clothing. They look like good godly Christians on the outside, but within are full of ravening and wickedness.
Matthew 16:11-12 "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
Jesus compared the doctrine of the Pharisees to leaven in Matthew 16:11-12.
John 6:48 "I am that bread of life."
Jesus (the Word of God) is the bread of life. In the time of Exodus, the children of Israel were given a commandment to only eat "unleavened bread" and not "leavened bread" lest their souls be cut off from Israel:
Exodus 12:15 "Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel."
Leaven is a substance, typically yeast, that is added to the dough to make it ferment and rise. Yeast cells thrive on simple sugars. As the sugars are metabolized, carbon dioxide and alcohol are released into the bread dough, making it rise.
Psalms 119:103-104 "How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way."
Leaven works to consume sugar from the unleavened bread dough, taking away it's natural sweetness. Sugar is added to artificially sweeten the bread. In the same way, the leaven of Pharisees and the Sadducees works to consume the words of the LORD, taking away from it the sweet Spirit of Jesus Christ, producing filth and drunkenness in the process.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."
That is when "another Jesus" (2 Corinthians 11:4) is installed in the place of the real Jesus Christ who was taken out of the way.
2 Chronicles 12:9-10 "So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house."
Brass has the appearance of gold but it is not real gold.
2 Timothy 2:17 "And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;"
Cancer is another word for "canker". Cancer is when one cell's DNA becomes corrupt and it corrupts the whole cell. Once that corrupted cell begins to replicate, the cancer tumor grows, and eventually consumes the healthy tissue around it.
Colossians 2:8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
Deuteronomy 11:16-17 "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 17 And then the LORD’S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you."
Today we see that spiritual leaven present in modern version bibles (NIV, NASB, NKJV, ESV, NLT, etc) as well as all the "theories", "theologies", "philosophies" and "traditions" which add unto or take away from the word of God.
"The man who adds a profession of Christ to his own morality is the most difficult to convince of his unsound profession because he is among the most deceived of all men." --- William C. Nichols
Instead of children of God, these apostate churches are producing twofold the children of hell whose real father is the Devil, false Christians which will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God in eternity to come.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 "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."
These Christians are so deceived that it is practically impossible to convince them of their unsound profession. Except God do a miracle in their lives, they shall likewise perish as an unbeliever.
