The Great Supper Of God Is Calling The Wicked

And I saw an angel standing in the sun;

 and he cried with a loud voice,saying to all 

the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, 

Come and gather yourselves together unto the 

supper of the great God; that ye may eat the 

flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, 

and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, 

and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, 

both free and bond, both small and great.

Revelation 19:17-18

     We must never forget that Revelation is a book of symbols and illustrations that give to us the meaning of why it was written and we must never attempt to make a symbol to be literal unless the context is absolutely clear that this symbol is not a symbol but to be taken literal. revelation is written in the style of other works that use symbols. We must understand a symbol, its possible meaning(s) before give it our blessing according to our definition. 

     John now sees an angel that is standing in the sun. This is important to know, the sun, for when the angel called the birds of prey, such as the buzzard or crow that we often see eating "roadkill," they are in midheaven, and midheaven is where the sun resides and it is a place where all in this heaven can be seen. This supper is a supper that I, for one, do not want to attend for I would be the dinner. God calls for this supper to be attended to be those, the birds of prey, to destroy those who will not believe in Him and are doing harm to His children: i.e., those that are teaching heresy, false doctrine. It is those who teach such practices that do not have Scriptural warrant: i.e., speaking in gibberish sounds, attempting to raise the dead, to go about and pray for healing, to have an esoteric religion, that is to understand that their practices are for a select few that have special knowledge or interest. In the circles of these so-called Christian Churches act as kings, mighty men and women who have special connection with God. These men and women wage a war against the truth of Scripture by using adulterated interpretations. These men lead astray all classes of men and women, both small and great. These men and women teach a gospel that is not Gospel. Sensationalism is the hallmark of these people, they teach that God is calling them now to a party and that the old ways are no longer to be used in the Church. They believe a restoration theology leaving behind even those who walked and talked with Jesus, those who in the early days of the Church taught the Gospel and that from those who were apostles and disciples of Jesus. This is the great supper of God where their flesh is eaten, destroyed by the fowl that eats that which is destroyed. These men and women are eaten, destroyed by the carnal things that they sent out into the world and this carnal thing, the birds of prey destroy them that teach heresy as truth, destroyed by their very own words. 

     This is a warning to us who desire to be Authentic Christians to leave behind, to deny the sensationalism, that which is false, that which is heresy and return to the faith once given: "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of he common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 3). We are not to look to men and accept all that they say or teach: "that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God" (1Corinthians 2:5). We have a responsibility: "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1Thessalonnians 5:21). We prepare for this war against the "faith once delivered to the saints," and to be able to defend our faith and this in truth: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1Peter 3:15). 

     Allow the word of God to admonish you to deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow Jesus, not man. We have a warning, clear and plain, God is going to destroy all who will not follow Him. Which supper are you attending, the one reserved for the birds of the air, or the supper with Jesus Christ?

With Him is strength and wisdom:

    the deceived and the deceiver are His.

                    Job 12:16 

Supper will be served soon: Prepare now!
