Today’s Thought “Foolishly Manipulative” G. Ward

 

Revelation 22:18-19 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; ¹⁹ and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.

 

The term “Final Authority” can also indicate complete power that refers esoterically to Holy God. This reality deemed unmatched is produced without speculation, leaving absolutely no room for additional authorship. Moreover, it is written for our peace (cf.*2 Pe.1:20-21).

No manuscript given is comparably tampered with outside of the Word of God. Historically, it’s granted spiritual freedom to many and witnessed great demagoguery in others. Our modernity is witnessing the perpetuation of falsehoods stemming from its truth that expands both notoriety in man, along with burgeoning pocketbooks when misused. The greatest damage however continues from those proclaiming to “know HIM” while failing to do what HE says, insisting that worship be met on their terms (i.e. music they like, along with mysterious acts inexplicable), awaiting governmental reprieves of sorts to substantiate their presumed faith (i.e. walls built, abortion rights and doing away with any dis-similar to what I deem as normal) and that damage is proportionately expansive and wicked. Holy God is still searching for some who will absolutely die, so they may live entirely in HIS demand (Ps.118:24).
