The Way of Cain, the Error of Balaam the Gainsaying of Korah

Carnal perverse religion is at enmity with God. It has no representation in heaven. It is

not patterned after the heavenly things. Denominational religions are carnal and
perverse. Why ? They exalt their carnal creeds above the Word of God. These carnal
man made religions deny Biblical truths. They deny the infallibility of the Word of God.
They deny the Divine inspiration of the Word of God. They promote carnal reasonings.
They promote carnality and every ungodly work. They promote self righteousness and
deny God’s Provide Way. They are not of God . They are patterned after Babylon which
is patterned after hell.

In Genesis 4 we read about Cain and Abel.

Cain built an altar and Abel built an altar. .... Both were religious.....”.

On the altar of Cain was fruit the product of the land that had been cursed

Abel’s altar had a bleeding dying lamb .The altar of stone covered with blood dripping
from the dying lamb. The innocent blood of the lamb being shed for the guilt of mankind to
roll back the sins of mankind until the LAMB OF GOD SLAIN FROM BEFORE THE
FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD was identified by John the Baptist on the banks of the
Jordan river “.....Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.....”. ( John
1 verse 29 ).

Abel’s sacrifice had representation. Abel’s sacrifice spoke of things to come. Abel’s
sacrifice pointed to the FULNESS OF TIME when GOD would “...sent forth His Son , made
of a woman, made under the law , to redeem them that were under the law..........”.
( Galatians 4 verse 6 and 7 ).

Abel’s sacrifice had representation in Heaven and his sacrifice was accepted. “.......By
faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained
witness that he was righteous , God testifying of his gifts ; and by it he being dead yet
speaketh.......” ( Hebrews 11 verse 4 ).

Cain’s sacrifice had no representation. Just like carnal man made religion has nothing to
do with God’s plan of redemption.

It has been said by a great Man of God, God’s End Time Prophet to this generation:
“....Religion is man made . Christianity is heaven sent...”.

Carnal man made religions are like the tower of Babel built after the flood. Man made
religions follow the way of Cain. Man made religions refuse Divine Revelation. Their
traditions . and creeds and dogma blind them to the Truth of God’s Word revealed in the
last days.

The true worshippers worship God in “...spirit and in Truth...”.(John 4 verse 24).

2
In these carnal man made religious groups their converts are brainwashed to believe in
some man made creed that has nothing to do with salvation or the redemption of the
soul or the resurrection of the dead or the judgement.

These carnal man made religions say little or say nothing about the Cross of the Lord
Jesus Christ. They refuse to be identified with the Virgin Birth and the Victorious Zoe
Life and the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ .

They speak little of Judas Iscariot betrayal of the Lord Jesus Christ. Judas Iscariot was a
disciple. A religious fellow that went to church, prayed , paid his tithes and stole from
the offering. He was a thief and the son of perdition. A deceiver amongst the brethren.

For thirty pieces of silver, Judas Iscariot sold the Lord Jesus Christ into the hands of
sinful religious elders.

These carnal man made religions want to say nothing about the ugly side of human
nature. The apostate reprobate human nature of fallen mankind without God living in a
secular society that denies the infallibility of the Word of God.

But God is not mocked. “...whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap ......”.
( Galatians 6 verse 7 ).

Cain reaped. Judas Iscariot reaped. Religious elders will reap. Man made religions will
reap. Individuals will reap. Politicians will reap. “....Be not be deceived ; God is not
mocked : whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap ......”. ( Galatians 6 verse 7 ).

Satan that perverse deceiver of all mankind has deceived the mixed -multitudes.

“.......  And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have
1

gotten a man from the LORD.

  And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a
2

tiller of the ground.

  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an
3

offering unto the LORD.

  And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the
4

LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
5

countenance fell.

  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
6

  If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the
7

door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

3
  And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field,
8

that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

  And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I
9

my brother's keeper?

  And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from
10

the ground.

  And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy
11

brother's blood from thy hand;

  When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a
12

fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

  13
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

  Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face
14

shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to
pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

  And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be
15

taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should
kill him.

  And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the
16

east of Eden......”.

In Genesis we see Chapter 4 Cain, built an altar that looked like Abel’s . Cain tried to
impersonate of Divine Revelation. Just like the Moabites that tried to impersonate the
true religion of the Children of Israel. The Moabites had the mechanics but no Divine
manifestation of the Presence of the One True God , the Creator of Heaven and earth.

Cain had the mechanics of worship but he didnot have the dynamics of the presence of
Almighty God. There was no Divine manifestation to show that his sacrifice had been
accepted. Cain sacrificed fruit. Abel sacrificed an innocent animal. Cain’s sacrifice was
wrong. Cain didnot approach God in God’s provided Way.

Abel’s sacrifice had Divine representation. When Adam and Eve sinned against God
they had covered their nakedness with fig leaves. God rejected the fig leave religion of
Adam and Eve.( See Genesis 3 ). God rejected the sacrifice of Cain. God rejected the vain
worship of Cain.

Today , multitudes worship God in vain. Religious people going to church worshipping
God in vain. Vain worship . They reject the Word of God and follow some carnal
tradition, some man made interpretation of God’s Word. Religious people so caught up
in some religious mental exercise and physical exercise that has the outward
appearance of holiness but has no Divine manifestation.

4
Human ability cannot be substituted for Divine ability.

The carnal cannot replace the Divine.

Man made righteous is a cheap substitute that can never replace the genuine
Righteousness of God.

In Mark 7 we read : “...... Howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the
7

commandments of men.

  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing
8

of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do........”.

How many denominational Christians going to Church on Sunday all dressed up in their
Sunday clothes searching for the truth ? How many honest individuals thirsting and
hungering for a Move of God in their lives ? How many individuals crying out to God for
a Divine manifestation to change their lives ?How many individuals hungry for revival ?

The Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 13 verse 5 said : “....Examine yourself , whether ye

be in the faith....”. In 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17 we read : “..........Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new........”.

All Cain had to do was do what God expected him to do. To do right.

The Bible says in Genesis 4 verse 4 to 7 that : “.....  And Abel, he also brought of the
4

firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his
offering:

  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
5

countenance fell.

  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
6

  If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the
7

door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.....”. (Genesis 4 verses 4
to 7).

Religion doesnot save an individual. Religion is man reaching out to God on terms that
are rejected by God.

So many people are religious. So many people go to Church or to their place of worship.
But what do they worship ?

The Samaritans in the New Testament worshipped God on a mountain. The woman at
the well she wanted to know where was the correct place to worship God , was it in the
mountain or was it in Jerusalem ?

5
True worship is from the heart. True worship is not praying in public places to be seen
by all men. True worship is not a public display of fasting and prayer to garner the
praises of men. True worship is not getting up early in the morning a few hours before
6.00 a.m to feast before the so called official time of fasting of 6.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. No.
That kind of feasting before fasting is an abomination to God. It is more of a feast
gluttony followed by a brief period of so called “.... abstinence... . “.

The true worshippers worship God in spirit and in truth. ( John 4 verse 24 ).

In the days of Noah, Noah had a revelation. Noah built the ark exactly according to the
divine Blueprint and saved his whole household. ( See Genesis Chapters 6 , 7 and 8 ) .

Moses built the Tabernacle in the wilderness according to the pattern shown on the
Mount. ( Exodus 24 verse 40 ; Acts 7 verse 44 ).

God has a Provided way of doing things.

In Matthew 7 we read about the parable about the foolish man and the wise man. The
wise man built his house on a rock. The wise man had a revelation. The blue print told
him to build his house on a rock. The wise man followed the blue print to exact
specifications.

When the rains came and the storms came and the floods came , the house built upon
the rock stood.

The foolish man did his own thing. He took shortcuts. He didnot follow the blueprint.
Just like Cain he refused to do the right thing. The foolish man built his house in vain
and when the rains came and the storms came and floods came , the house built upon
the sand was washed away.

Vain worship. Religious people refusing to come to God on God’s terms in God’s
provided way.

Man can look all religious on the outside and wear some holy uniform and walk a
certain religious walk and talk a certain religious talk be lost without God.

God looks at the heart.

“.....Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart....”. ( 1 Samuel 16
verse 7 ).

Religion has people all tied up in confusion performing religious works that do not get
them any closer to God. Why ? They do not come God’s provided way. Just like Cain, they
are arrogant and refuse to examine themselves and see if they are in the faith.

They do not have no Divine experience. How can they ? How can they when they fail to
do what is right ?

6
They need the right key to unlock the door of Divine Blessings. In Isaiah 1 verses 18 to
20 we read :

“.........Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

  19If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

  20But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the
LORD hath spoken it......”.

Cain had an opportunity to do the right thing. God told Cain in Genesis 4 verse 7 : “.....If
thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.....”.

Korah resisted the truth. Korah rejected God’s Prophet of that day.

God ordained Prophets are called, chosen and faithful.

They are God Anointed, God appointed and God sent.

They are not self made prophets nor are they self made Bishops.

God chooses who He wants by His Sovereign Grace to be a leader of his children. God
has Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists , Pastors and Teachers. ( Ephesians 4 verse 11 ).

Carnal believers for monetary gain try to appoint themselves to one of these positions.
But they shall proceed no further. “....Their folly shall be manifested...”. ) 2 Timothy 3
verse 8 ).

In 2 Timothy 3 verse 1 to 9 we read :

“.........This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

  2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

  3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of

those that are good,

  4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

  5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

  6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden
with sins, led away with divers lusts,

  7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

7
  8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of
corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

  9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's
also was.......”.

Korah tried to interrupt God’s programme and tried to overthrow God’s leader. What
happened to Korah ?

Wicked Korah and his wicked followers were destroyed by God.

In Numbers 16 we read :
“...........1
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and
Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

  2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and
fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

  3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto
them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them,
and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation
of the LORD?

  4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

  5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD
will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even
him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.

  6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

  7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be
that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye
sons of Levi.

  8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

  9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from
the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle
of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

  10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee:
and seek ye the priesthood also?

  11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the
LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

8
  12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not
come up:

  13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and
honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?

  14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or
given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we
will not come up.

  15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I
have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

  16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and
they, and Aaron, to morrow:

  17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD
every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his
censer.

  18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and
stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.

  19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.

  20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

  21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a
moment.

  22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall
one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

  23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

  24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah,
Dathan, and Abiram.

  25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed
him.

  26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these
wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

  27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and
Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and
their sons, and their little children.

9
  28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works;
for I have not done them of mine own mind.

  29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of
all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.

  30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them
up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall
understand that these men have provoked the LORD.

  31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground
clave asunder that was under them:

  32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the
men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

  33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth
closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

  34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the
earth swallow us up also.

  35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men
that offered incense.

  36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

  37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the
burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.

  38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates
for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are
hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

  39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had
offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

  40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed
of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his
company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

  41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against
Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

  42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against
Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud
covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.

  43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

10
  44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

  45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment.
And they fell upon their faces.

  46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and
put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them:
for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

  47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and,
behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an
atonement for the people.

  48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

  49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside
them that died about the matter of Korah.

  50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
and the plague was stayed.......”.

In Numbers Chapters 22 to 25 we read about King Balak asking Balaam the prophet to
curse the Children of Israel. Balaam could not curse what God had blessed. ( Numbers
22 verse 12 ; Numbers 23 verse 8 ).

Balaam had one eye on the money instead of having both his eyes and his heart and his
mind set on the Word of God. You cannot serve God and mammon. Look at Gehazi .
Gehazi ended up with the leprosy of Namaan. Look at Judas Iscariot. Judas Iscariot
betrayed the Lord Jesus Christ and hung himself.

Balaam compromised with the truth just to get some money from King Balaak. Balaam
sold out for riches.

In Mark 8 verse 36 we read “......For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?....”.

The soul of man is like a dry thirsty land.

In Samaria there was a soul that was ostracized by society. She lived a life of adultery.
She was not proud about the way she lived. She was trapped in sin. She desired to be set
free from the bondage of sin. Religion could not help her. Religion couldnot set her free.

She had a carnal perception of worship. Deep in her heart there was a Thirst to worship
the One true God in Spirit and in Truth.

She wanted to know where was the true place of worship ? Was it Jerusalem or was it
okay to worship in the Mountain of Samaria ?

11
How many people are confused about where to worship God ? Which religion is the true
religion ?

Which denomination speaks for God ?

In John Chapter 4 verses 1 to 25 we read :

“........When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and
baptized more disciples than John,

  (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

2

  He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

3

  And he must needs go through Samaria.

4

  Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground
5

that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

  Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on
6

the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

  There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
7

  (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
8

  Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink
9

of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

  Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith
10

to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water.

  The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep:
11

from whence then hast thou that living water?

  Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof
12

himself, and his children, and his cattle?

  Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
13

  But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the
14

water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

  The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither
15

to draw.

  Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
16

12
  The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well
17

said, I have no husband:

  For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that
18

saidst thou truly.

  The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
19

  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place
20

where men ought to worship.

  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this
21

mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
22

  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in
23

spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
24

  The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he
25

is come, he will tell us all things........”.

The Bible says in Hebrews 11 verse 4 that : “...By faith Abel offered unto God a more
excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God
testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.....”.

“.....  Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified
1

by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

  Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

2

  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was
3

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.

  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this
4

condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying
the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

  I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord,
5

having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed
not.

  And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath
6

reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

13
  Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
7

themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

8
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of
dignities.

  Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of
9

Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

  But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally,
10

as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

  Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of
11

Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

  These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves
12

without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

  Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is
13

reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

  And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord
14

cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

  To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all
15

their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches
which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

  These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth
16

speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

  But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our
17

Lord Jesus Christ;

  How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after
18

their own ungodly lusts.

  These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
19

  But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
20

Ghost,

  Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto
21

eternal life.

  And of some have compassion, making a difference:

22

14
  And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted
23

by the flesh.

  Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before
24

the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

  To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now
25

and ever. Amen......”.

The way of Cain, the error of Balaam for reward, and the gainsaying of Korah . ( Jude
11 ).

People rejecting truth and accepting creeds. People rejecting God’s prophets and
accepting false prophets. People rejecting God’s Plan of Salvation and accepting a
religious substitute. People rejecting God’s Blueprint for total redemption and like Esau
selling their birthrights for a plate of pottage, for some worldy gain. “... For what is a man
profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for
his soul ?....”. ( Matthew 16 verse 26 ).

Deception in the End Times.

Throughout the Seven Church ages, God has had His Messengers.

In these Endtimes people still want to hold onto their traditions and creeds. Why ? The
way of Cain, the error of Balaam for reward, and the gainsaying of Korah . ( Jude 11 ).

In these End Times , God sent his Prophet William Marrion Branham to preach the truth,
the whole Counsel of God.

Those that rejected his message brought spiritual death on their ministries . spiritual
death struck the denominations.

Now the Denominations just have an impersonation of Christianity.

Thak God for the truth. Thank God for the Message of the Hour. Thank God for the End
Time Message. Thank God for God’s End Time Prophet William Marrion Branham that
preached the truth and lived the life. Amen and Amen.
