Resetting Humanity: Triggering the Beast Within Us

Power of the Statue as a Reset Mechanism

Unless you live under a rock you are hearing about the great reset.  Reset of government, economy, various disciplines, culture, technology, earth and atmospheric cycles, religion and more.  This week I was brought very low, to the point of despair.  My new puppy had raw unbridled energy.  It was at this dark hour that the Holy Spirit directed me to a Neflix program, 6 Puppies and Us, that would not only transform my dog training objectives but also my walk with Jesus Christ and insight into our prophetic future.

For a successful walk with Jesus we need to fix our eyes upon Him during the good times and the bad. 

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Hebrew 12:2

Dynamic Interaction

In this age of facial recognition it is awesome to contemplate that each of us were originally created to walk with God and have face-to-face, panim v panim, time with our Creator.  We are naturally drawn to His movement and action.  The more He moves the more our spirit is aroused and we leap towards Him to grasp the precious spiritual gifts and nuggets He provides to us. 

This same concept holds true in puppy obedience training.  The more active the master is the puppy- longing to interact, can get quite hyperactive seeking that interaction.

The interaction between master and creature triggers a biologic cascade in our brains releasing happy hormones.  This is why it is critical in the case of a puppy to redirect your puppy's enthusiasm into a constructive outlet.  For us it indicates that we need to spend time in the Word and prayer for those endeavors will energize our relationship and walk with Jesus and Abba Father. 

The Master Commands

The beginning of this process is the command.  Each of has a master who can be the Good Shepherd, Jesus, or the Evil One, Satan.  It is the job of the master to mold and shape his objectives your life.  Depending if you are the good or evil master will determine how you disseminate commands.  Jesus taught the commands of the Father on gentle and meekness desiring that you learn the Spirit of the teachings walking in all knowledge and understanding.  Our adversary injects commands as a viperous snake injects venom to accomplish his will. Satan also harnesses rather than gently guiding.

Silence!

While there is a time for dynamic face-to-face interaction there is also a time be still and know that He is Lord.

 Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.  Psalm 46:10

We see that when something critical is about to happen in the heavenly realm and upon the earth there is a dramatic silence.  Oftentimes, we call this period the calm before the storm and that is what I believe is the year 2019.

Scripture reveals a pattern of silence associated with the recognition of God’s holiness and righteous judgment  You can see Psalm 76:8-9, Habakkuk 2:20, Zephaniah 1:7, and Zechariah 2:13.

In Revelation 8:1-5 the heavens fall silent for half an hour, when all the singing, glorifying, and praising ceases, there will be a deep sense of foreboding. The judgments, every righteous soul knows, must be formidable in the extreme, yet they will shudder in awe at the prospect of having to witness their administration.

The technology fervor has been intensifying and swirling around us for the last couple years.  Much as a predator stalks its prey secretly behind the scenes it watches the movement of the prey and gauges its attack.  This observation period is likened to a quite period but the enemy is not really silent he is busy calculating his strategy to final attack. 

The Power of the Statue

In puppy training when your puppy is leaping and biting uncontrollably you as the master must become silent following the biblical model.  One must cross their arms against your chest, look straight ahead not engaging with your puppy, and stand much as a statue. To me it is was an incredibly uncomfortable and disturbing position, dead-like and yet alive.

I do not know why but I could see an image of Tutankhamun’s death and spell 151b from the Book of the Dead which the Egyptians used as a road map for the afterlife.  This particular spell protects the various limbs of Tutankhamun as he moves into the underworld.  Notice the how craftily Satan counterfeits the word of God, a small strand of truth with mixed with allot of falsity:

Words spoken by Isis

I have come as your protection, I have driven breath to your nostril
the north wind that comes from Atum
I have gathered your neck for you, I have caused you to exist as a god
Your enemies are under your sandals, your voice is made true in the sky before Ra
Mighty among gods, joined in the knot to make you go the way of Horus true of voice

Comparison Between of Golden Image and Image of Beast

Tzelem the Image

In Scripture there are two famous statues or images: Nebuchadnezzar's Golden Image (Statue) and the Image of the Beast in Revelation.  There appears to be a pattern between the two in their character and the way the narrative plays out.

In Hebrew, the word for image is tzelem, and we see it first mentioned when man was created in the Divine tzelem (image) of God.

Beast that contains some type of image or statue

In Daniel 2:31 we see reference to a great statue or image.

Image or statue appears very large

In Daniel 2:31 this large statue or image that is bright
In Daniel 2:32 the head of the statue was fine or detailed

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.  Revelation 13:2

The beast was wounded unto death

In Daniel 2:34 the image or statue was smote or stricken
In Daniel 2:35  smote or struck image shape-shifted into something else

And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?  Revelation 13:2-7

The beast is a kingdom represented by gold

In Daniel 3:1 the image or statue was of gold representing the king
In Daniel 3:2 there was a dedication for the image or statue

And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.  Revelation 13:2

Standing and falling in worship before the Image (statue)

In Daniel 3:3:  Standing before the image or statue
In Daniel 3:5:  Fall and worship the image or statue (look up)

Power to Kill

 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  Revelation 13: 15

Semel:  Image or Statue

The word for statue in Hebrew is semel meaning an image, statue, figure, or idol. There are ominous connections associated with a statue such as a smell, spice, drug, and in the Aramaic a drug, pigment; or poison.

Statue verses include:

Deuteronomy 4:16:  A figure made in the likeness

A statue would definitely be carved while with today technology carving can include engineering and making tangible something invisible.

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Revelation 13:14

2 Chronicles 33:15:  Gods and idols from house

This seems to indicate a familiar spirit of sorts and resides either in physical, spiritual, or even within ones own body which in Scripture can be a metaphor for house.

Jealousy

It is an interesting fact that in the Temple their is both a niche and a seat for the Image of Jealousy.  In God's house? He needs neither niche nor seat.

Ezekiel 8:3:  There was a seat of Image of jealousy
Ezekiel 8:5:  There was an altar at this image of jealousy

This is image-statue is counterfeiting that characteristic of God being jealous: 

You shall not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens above, on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.  Exodus 20:5
