Job 36: Kings in Fetters (Part 8)
We continue from Part 7 we left off last time.
We begin our studies from:
Proverbs 5:3-4 "¶ For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword."
Honey and the honeycomb are likened to the word of God (Psalm 19:10, 119:103; Proverbs 16:24, 24:13-14), and so is a twoedged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Oil is a reference to the Holy Spirit (1 John 2:27). This tells us that the strange woman is one that mimics or imitates after the word of God and the Holy Ghost! She is the pillar and ground behind Rome, whose symbol is the “Virgin Mary”. Not only that, but Rome is also the progenitor of all the strange bibles (NIV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, NLT, etc) that are so prevalent in our current times. It is no accident that things are moving in the current direction.
Did you know that every modern bible version is under Catholic supervision?
"The text shared by these two editions was adopted internationally by Bible Societies, and following an agreement between the Vatican and the United Bible Societies it has served as the basis for all new translations and for revisions made under their supervision." - Pg 45, Nestle-Aland Greek Text, 27th Edition
The 66 books of the Holy Bible is “truth” (John 17:17), and this word is found in exactly 222 verses in the King James Bible. The 222nd chapter of the Holy Bible is where we find the first-mention of the term “strange woman”.
Judges 11:2 "And Gilead’s wife bare him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of a strange woman."
Pay attention to the number patterns in this verse:
Add the chapter and verse number: 11 + 2 = 13;
Multiply the chapter and verse number: 11 x 2 = 22.
Verse 1 calls her a “harlot”, and she was also a mother since verse 2 says “thou art the son of a strange woman”.
Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Her name is “MYSTERY”, a word which is found 22 times in the King James Bible. There are exactly 13 words to her title as shown capitalized in this verse. Moreover, if we add the chapter and verse number i.e. 17 + 5 = 22. There we have the pattern of the number 13 and 22 again. She is the opposite of the church, the body of Christ. She is the “body of sin” (Romans 6:6).
Judges 16:5 "And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver."
The Devil will use money to get the strange women in the body of sin to do the dirty work for him. While it was clear to Samson that the Philistines were his enemies, he was blinded to the fact that Delilah worked for his enemies.
1 Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
For the love of money, the strange woman will play the harlot, and will entice many, and will cause many to fall asleep upon her knees.
1 Thessalonians 5:6-7 "Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night."
Samson was made drunk by the spiritual wine of Delilah. He was so drunken that he could not discern the danger that was before him, and he continued to exceed in his transgressions (Job 36:9). His drunkenness had caused him to fall asleep upon knees of Delilah, and that was when she was able to shave off the seven locks on his head, and caused his supernatural strength to depart from him. Revelation 17:4 tells us that the strange woman has a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. Speaking to the church of Thyatira, Jesus said in:
Revelation 2:20 "Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols."
Revelation 2:20 bears the pattern of the number 22. Interestingly, the name “Jezebel” is found exactly 22 times in the King James Bible, and Jezebel was a strange woman. The church of Thyatira which suffered Jezebel was as Samson in Judges 16 who suffered Delilah. When the strange woman becomes the leading voice in a church, she will begin to teach her strange doctrines and seduce believers into committing transgressions against God by those doctrines. The golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication will cause the Samsons in those churches to be so spiritually drunken and not perceive the danger that is coming upon them.
Judges 16:21 "But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house."
When they are asleep, when the source of their supernatural strength (the 66 books of the Holy Bible) is departed from them, that’s when the Devil will come in with his fetters of brass and take prisoners of them all. If the 66 books of the Holy Bible is in the way of the Devil, preventing him from getting access to the flock to devour them, then he will have to remove this obstacle. That’s why the attack is always on the Holy Bible, to separate the words of the LORD from the church. When churches reject the words of the LORD, that’s when the Devil will come in with his fetters of brass. Fetters is a picture of bondage in the Bible, but what about “brass”? Why brass fetters? Consider Goliath of Gath, the Philistine, who carried items of brass all over his body. What does brass represent in the Bible?
Consider the following: Goliath was a remnant of the giants. He was an offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men. Notice the pattern of number '666' embedded in this passage about him. There are actually seven pieces of armory with Goliath: [1] an helmet of brass; [2] a coat of mail of 5,000 shekels of brass; [3] greaves of brass upon his legs; [4] a target of brass between his shoulders; [5] a spear; [6] a shield; and he also had [7] a sword (1 Samuel 17:45). Compare these to the whole armour of God in:
Ephesians 6:13-18 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, [1] having your loins girt about with truth, and [2] having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And [3] your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, [4] taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And [5] take the helmet of salvation, and [6] the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 [7] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"
The whole armour of God also consist of seven items, and these are the seven pieces of armory corresponding to the seven spirits of God which the Devil wants to remove from the churches. Not coincidentally, this compares with the seven pieces of armory that Goliath carried with him. Goliath is a picture of the beast whose number is '666' (Revelation 13:18). He carried with him these seven items:
#1. An helmet of brass (false salvation)
Goliath had a helmet of brass over his head. Compare this to Ephesians 6:13-18 "... And take the helmet of salvation"
1 Thessalonians 5:8 "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation."
Helmet is "the hope of salvation" according to this verse. Therefore a helmet of brass is false salvation.
#2. A coat of mail (falsehood)
Goliath was armed with a coat of mail of 5,000 shekels of brass. Compare this to Ephesians 6:13-18 "... having your loins girt about with truth". The opposite of truth is falsehood.
#3. Greaves of brass upon his legs (false gospels)
Goliath had greaves of brass upon his legs. Compare this to Ephesians 6:13-18 "... And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace". Greaves of brass is false gospel.
#4. A target of brass between his shoulders (false righteousness)
Goliath had a target of brass between his shoulders. Compare this with Ephesians 6:13-18 "... having on the breastplate of righteousness". Breastplates are what’s in-between the shoulders. The target of brass is false righteousness.
#5. A spear (prayers and supplications to false gods)
Goliath had a spear. The spear is one item that is apparently missing in the whole armour of God in Ephesians 6:13-18, but "prayer and supplication in the Spirit" is also one item which is missing in Goliath’s list. Prayer is a weapon, as much as a spear is a weapon for offence against our enemies.
#6. A shield (false faith)
Goliath had a shield. Compare this to Ephesians 6:13-18 "... taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked".
#7. A sword (false bibles, philosophies, theologies, etc)
Goliath also had a sword. Compare this to Ephesians 6:13-16 "...the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God". Like prayer (spear), the word of God is also a weapon for offence.
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."
In the context of this passage, Shishak king of Egypt came and took away the "shields of gold" in the king's house which Solomon had made. In their place, king Rehoboam made "shields of brass" and commit them to the chief of the guard. Shield is a reference to faith i.e. the "shield of faith" in Ephesians 6:16. Faith is compared to gold in a born again believer in 1 Peter 1:7 "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth...". The same precept is also taught in Job 23:10: "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold." Every antichrist religious system will have these seven things about them:
an helmet of brass (false salvation);
a coat of mail of 5,000 shekels of brass (falsehood);
greaves of brass (false gospel / false peace);
a target of brass (false righteousness);
a spear (prayers and supplications to false gods);
a shield (false faith);
a sword (false bibles, philosophies, theologies, etc).
Revelation 13:1 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
The beast which represents the “fourth kingdom” (Daniel 7:23) has seven heads, but pay attention to the things on Goliath: helmet of brass, coat of mail of 5,000 shekels of brass, greaves of brass, and target of brass were attached to things that are false. Brass has the appearance of gold but it is not real gold, as we read in 2 Chronicles 12:9-10 when king Rehoboam installed the shields of brass in replacement of the shields of gold that were taken away by Shishak king of Egypt. The shields of gold is different from the shields of brass as much as faith is contrary to doubt.
"It isn't a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state's goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government's propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They'll fasten the chains to their own ankles." - Lew Rockwell
Luke 8:29 "(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)"
This verse tells us that fetters and chains come in a set, and together they are call “bands”.
Mark 5:4 "Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him."
We also find the same precept being taught in this passage. All forms of the word “band” are found exactly 66 times in the King James Bible, and 66 is a reference to the 66 books of the Holy Bible.
Job 36:8 "And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;"
This ought to tell us that the “fetters of brass” (Judges 16:21) is the Devil’s religious system that keep sinners in bondage to falsehood. Moreover, notice that fetters are specifically designed to bind the feet of prisoners.
Romans 10:15 "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
It is not call “fetters of brass” (Judges 16:21) for no reason. When the feet are bound, the gospel of peace can no longer be preached, and that is what which is happening to many churches today. The feet of their pastors have been bound, so that the preaching of the gospel of peace have ceased. In place of the pure gospel of peace is “another gospel” (2 Corinthians 11:4) which cannot save.
One foot has 26 bones and 33 joints. A pair of feet have 52 bones and 66 joints.
52 = 4 x 13 or (2 x 2) x 13
bears the pattern of the number 22 and 13. There is that pattern of the number 13 and 22 again. 22 is the number of times the phrase ‘the will of God’ is found, and 13 is the number of times this phrase 'love of God' is found in the 1611 King James Bible. 66 is the number of books in the Holy Bible.
Psalms 12:1-2 "Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak."
In the place of the words of the LORD is “vanity”. We will continue with our study of Job 36 in Part 9.
