The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

 

 

The Pharisees cannot preach without having Karen in mind. On November 5, 2023, by Pharisee Cloude Houde, they preached lies and deception. By preaching on “Overcoming Through Pressure & Persecution” they tried to justify their persecution against her, again, unsuccessfully!

On the real ongoing issues “Overcoming Through Their Threats of Bodily Harm and Death During Persecution,” please know that NO ONE IN JESUS CHRIST OVERCOMES THROUGH PRESSURE, THREATS OF BODILY HARM, DEATH AND PERSECUTION. RATHER, WE OVERCOME PERSECUTION AND ALL ISSUES OF LIFE THROUGH OUR FAITH IN JESUS. God makes it very clear as to how we overcome the world.  For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4).

Thus, no true servant of the Lord can justify evil acts of persecution the enemies of God commit against Him, Who is the Head of the church, and His godly servants such as Karen.

 

We like to call things by their name. Persecution by the wicked is evil and we do not call evil, good nor do we call good, evil.

 

There are two types of persecution. The persecution by the wicked which is a crime and the persecution of the Lord which is always good, of course.

 

In His sermon on the Mount, looking into the future, Jesus refers to the persecution His servants will suffer for His name’s sake with the words, …Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you… (John 15:20).  Moreover, “for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:12). The wisdom of God also said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’ (Luke 11:49). He indicated that there is not likely to be any change in the way His prophets are treated.

Jesus’ prophesy regarding the persecution of His servants has been fulfilled over and over.

Although God allows His enemies to persecute His servants, it doesn’t mean that persecution is a good thing. It neither means that it is the will of God that His servants be persecuted.

Since the beginning of time, in the Old Testament, the bible states stories of persecution and killing such as the story of Cain against his brother Abel and the reasons why. Also, when the wicked Kings, priests, judges, the rulers of the people perverted justice and abused those who couldn’t defend themselves, God sent His prophets to speak to them on His behalf regarding their sins, repentance, and judgment among other things. There are numerous ways in which the Old Testament godly prophets of God suffered. We find that they can be divided into persecution, rejection, physical violence, murder, and abuse at the hands of the wicked.

1.  they had both their written and spoken prophetic messages rejected (Jeremiah 36:26-29), (Isaiah 30:9-10), (Amos 7:10-15), (Micah 2:6)

2.  they were despised (Jeremiah 20:1-2)

3.   they were mocked and ridiculed (2 Kings 2:23), (Jeremiah 20:7)

4.   they were given unpleasant looks (Jeremiah 1:8; 17)

5.   they were insulted (Jeremiah 18:18-19)

6.   they were commanded to not prophesy (Amos 2:12; 7:13)

7.   they were accused of conspiring against the Kings with their prophetic messages from God (Amos 7:10-11)

8.   they were debarred from entering God’s Temple (Jeremiah 36:5)

9.   they were struck in the face (1 Kings 22:24)

10. they were bound in chains (Jeremias 40:1)

11.  they were placed in stocks (Jeremiah 20:2)

12.  they were imprisoned in dungeons and cells (Jeremiah 37:15-16; 38:6), (2 Chronicles 16:7-9)

13.  they were poorly fed with bread and water (1 Kings 22:27)

14.  they were threatened with death (1 Kings 19:1-3)

15.  they were killed (Jeremiah 26:20-23), stoned to death (2 Chronicles 24:20-22), (1 Kings 19:1), killed with a sword and their bodies cast into the graves of the common people (Jeremiah 26:20-23), etc.

In the New Testament, the bible also states how Jesus and especially His disciples such as John the Baptist and those serving in the native church of God suffered persecution from the wicked Pharisees such as Saul, the Sadducees, and priests who were “supposedly serving God,” and the rulers of the people like King Herod.

1.  they went through opposition to serve God’s call to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:1-4)

2.  they were arrested (Acts 12:3-4)

3.  they were imprisoned (Acts 5:17-18)

4.  they were stoned to death (Acts 7:57-60)

5.  they were murdered (Acts 9:1-2; 12:2)

6.  they were crucified like our Lord Jesus (John 21:18-19)

7.  they were harassed (Acts 12:1)

8.  they were beaten (Acts 5:40; 16:37), (2 Corinthians 11:25)

9.  they were whipped with 39 lashes (2 Corinthians 11:24), etc.

All forms of persecution and abuse by the wicked against the godly servants of God are attacks from Satan the devil, our enemy operating through them to stop His children from doing what they are supposed to do. The servants of the Lord overcome persecution through Jesus. We must never give in to the lies and attacks of the enemy but walk in faith in the ways of the Lord.

The only acceptable persecution is God’s. One of many examples recorded in the Holy Scriptures is the story when God persecuted Job with one affliction after another. Why do you persecute me as God does and are not satisfied with my flesh? (Job 19:22). You and I know why God persecuted Job; we know the whole story!

Karen herself has also experienced the great persecution of the Lord with a good purpose.

How God persecutes His people and why and how He even persecutes His enemies vary. When God persecutes His enemies, they all end in destruction and their fate proves His justice.

Throughout the Old Testament, the wicked were counted God’s enemies – kings, priests, judges, and rulers in charge of His Temple, and nations who did not obey God’s laws and did evil against His people, and His prophets were committed to their destruction. The Sodomites, Egypt, the Canaanites, the Philistines, and the Babylonians are just a few of the many evil and oppressive enemy nations. The Lord God chased His enemies and fought on behalf of His people to avenge them and serve justice.              

One of the many stories where we see God in action against His enemies is when Moses is commanded by God to hold his staff out over the Red Sea and the Lord parted the river in two to let His people pass through the water and persecuted His Egyptian enemies to destroy them. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians.  And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”  Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore (Exodus 14:21-30).

Jesus does not define persecution by the kind of actions taken or not taken by His servants against their enemies who persecute them. Unlike God who persecutes His enemies to destroy them, His servants respond to evil persecution in different ways as shown in the Scriptures. For sure, Paul and Silas did not respond to persecution in the same way Jeremiah did (Acts 16:18-40) nor even Peter (Acts 5:16-40), Stephen (Acts 7:51-60), and neither did Karen. The one thing His servants had in common was that the victory they all had overcoming evil persecution was in Jesus.

Though in the most recent video sermon above, the Sodomites/Canaanites/Pharisees expressed to disagree with preacher Rajabian regarding how God works to punish the wicked such as themselves, they are wrong for not knowing nor understanding the Holy Scriptures. We are aware of the old and new covenant in Jesus Christ and we have compared and contrasted them and have concluded that despite covenants, the Lord doesn’t change His ways. Jesus is the word of God made flesh (John 1:1-3) and He is the same yesterday, and, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

The Old Testament illustrates the fullness of God: Who God is, His faithfulness, His power, His mercy, His love, His heart, His plan for the salvation of His human creation, and His judgments, His justice against the wicked, His ways, as well as how He works together with His chosen servants to get His will done even during times of war.

The Old Testament of the bible lays the foundation or biblical prophecy which till today continues to be fulfilled in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. As one way of illustration, the Book of Ezekiel reveals how the blessings of God to Abraham and his descendants will be further developed and ultimately realized through the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. God’s plan with Abraham doesn’t change. His promise of blessings, the promise of a son, the promise of the multiplication of his descendants, the promise of the Canaanite land to Karen, etc. God promised both, Abraham and Karen, the same things.

There will always be war in the possession of the promised Canaanite land. To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, a time to build up; a time of war, and a time of peace (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).

Preacher Rajabian Karen Rajabian has been in a time of war against the Sodomites/Canaanites/Pharisees who are the leaders of Times Square Church. The persecution of 18 years turned into a battle against her for the church land slice God promised to her which doesn’t belong to them anymore. God said to Abraham, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it” (Genesis 15:7). Before the Abraham of old inherited the land in token (Genesis 23:1-20), he had to fight the Sodomites and the rulers of nations (Genesis 14:1-24). Karen, as contemporary Abraham, is having a similar experience that he had. And she will possess the whole modern times Canaanite land.

Even though the ancient ceremonial laws of the Temple do not apply to us today, the story of the Exodus from Egypt, the Possession of Canaanite Land, the Rule of the Judges and Kings, and foreign nations such as Babylon/Rome, Greece, Iran, Syria, etc., all reveal the fulness of God to us.

Despite the Levitical and the New Covenants sacrifices explained in the book of Hebrews 10:1-18, saying, ...And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool… while all prophecies are being fulfilled and others fulfilled for second time, Jesus awaits for His enemies to become His footstool. Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign the Lord said to the Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool” (Psalms 110:1).

That Psalm predicts the victory and glory that our Lord Jesus will have over all His enemies. John the beloved apostle was able to see the coming victory and wrote what God revealed to him: Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.  Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (Revelations 19:11-15).

Since the promise of (Psalms 110:1) isn’t for us, we must be able to open the eyes of our understanding to be able to see how God works towards His enemies who are our enemies.

God is faithful to His word. He will destroy the wicked, and He holds the unrighteous for the day of judgment while continuing their punishment. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;  and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)— then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment (2 Peter 2:2-9).

We can be confident that as God doesn’t change and that as He has delivered His people in the past, He can do so today. Since God saw the affliction of His people in Egypt and Sodom of old, He saw the affliction of His people by modern Sodomites/Canaanites/Pharisees.

Paul the Apostle illustrates truths and lessons to be learned which are applicable to Christians. In (I Corinthians 10:6-10), he recounts for the church a considerable number of incidents that took place during Israel’s wilderness wanderings. Then he writes, “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.” The apostle Paul, clearly intended for the Corinthian church and us to learn from the lessons taught in the Old Testament of the Bible.

Again, there will always be war to make God’s promise to His people for the gradual possession of the land possible (Joshua 1:1-18 – 24:1-33), during which times, He works together with His servants to destroy His enemies as He sees fit. In the book of Joshua 11:16-20, we read how God hardens evil men’s hearts so that He might destroy them. …Thus Joshua took all this land: the mountain country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, and the Jordan plain—the mountains of Israel and its lowlands, from Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings, and struck them down and killed them. Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle. For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as the Lord had commanded Moses…

This short war story is self-explanatory. Joshua persecuted God’s enemies, they did not sense their own inevitable destruction, nor opt to flee to preserve their lives and peace. Their hearts were hardened and stayed in the land and foolishly fought against the people of God whom He had purposed to possess the extensive Canaanite land.

God is passionate about justice, and He has never lost a battle against His enemies who oppose His laws and harm His people.

 

Pharisee Cloude Houde preaching at Times Square Church on November 5, 2023

 

Do not doubt it, as we said in our previous posts, whether the Sodomites/Canaanites/ Pharisees like or not what God is doing through Karen Rajabian in modern times Canaanite land which includes His church, at this time, it is Karen the godly governmental official chosen by God to rule over His people, who with Jesus, as she advances to possess the whole Canaanite land of God, will do many things together. They will cleanse modern Canaanite land from sin. They will destroy satanic altars, and remove from the pulpits false prophets and teachers of the word of God like the Pharisees, Scribes and Sadducees, and others whose folly is to twist the word of God to preach their own messages to the people, and are lovers of money and themselves, boasters, and traitors, who while they work in the church of God for the money, blaspheme against the Holy Spirit of God standing in different churches to get glory from men prophesying lies and confusing the people with their lies.

So, if you are a Pharisee, an evil Scribe a Sadducee, or another type of false preacher of the word of God, get ready for this, you will be delivered to Satan.

God is with Abraham in everything that he does (Genesis 21:22).

But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,  always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was (2 Timothy 3:1-9). This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme (1 Timothy 1:18-20).

Currently, Karen is focused on the Lord, His work, her salvation in Jesus Christ, her family, and those who show belief in the Son of God as well as her spoken and written prophecies and who as opposed to words, with actions show their true love for Him and her. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters (Luke 11:23). 

She looks forward to keeping clear her way to the altar of the Lord to deliver His prophetic message to Times Square Church and keeping law and order in modern Canaanite land so that only God gets all the glory.

The oath which He swore to our father Abraham: To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life (Luke 1:73-75).
