This Heresy and Deception is Certainly Nothing New
“Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”” Jude 1:14-15 NKJV Jude 1:14-15

Impact Discipleship Notes | Impact Discipleship Video
Introduction
For our purposes today in the exploration of Obadiah, we are not going to emphasize the historic biblical detail about the characters and their controversy (i.e. between Esau and Jacob). But, instead, we are going to examine the vision of Obadiah from an allegorical position. In other words, we are going to extract the parable or symbolism of what the prophet is seeing, instead of focusing on the actual characters and events. This in no way is intended to diminish the truth and accuracy of what was actually being prophesied, but rather is meant to expose a pattern how Yahweh views atrocities and injustice in the earth, and how He eventually executes judgment on those who have schemed against Him.

Children Walking in Truth
“The Elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth: Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” III John 1:1-4 NKJV

The Truth Abides Forever
The thing about the truth is that it never changes. How different that is from lies which are like building a house on quicksand. I like to say this about truth and lies. “When you speak the truth you never have to remember what you said, because it is always the same. When you lie, you have to keep track of what you’ve said as it is ever changing!”
Freedom
Of course, Y’shua called Himself the truth. “I am the truth…” He also said, “Know the truth and the truth will set you free!” Yes, what freedom it is to have security in eternity, regardless of what is happening today. But the truth in Christ is NOT just for eternity. The freedom is available the moment you come into the faith. I like to say it like this; “Freedom is having no other options; when God’s way is the only way you are totally free!”
The Enemy
One final note about truth that you must have locked into your brain. Satan is everything the opposite of truth. He is a liar and the father of lies.
2021-10-01 | Genesis 1-6 | The Image of God (Short Version)
Impact Discipleship Notes | Impact Discipleship Video
Yahweh, our Creator, desired that we know Him so He created humanity “in His Image”. First He created Adam, who we now know had both male and female DNA. All men do! Then He “extracted” the woman from Adam so we could see a man and a woman separately with all their distinct characteristics. He looked at them and said, “This is My image.” To further clarify, He commanded that they marry and be fruitful and multiply, thus completing the family—the perfect image of the Creator Himself. We learn that God is a Divine Family, the Father, Spirit and Son, and so His expressed image needed to be represented by all the distinct parts of a family. Thus, the human family, a father as the husband, a mother as the wife, and the child as the fruit of their love.
When you contemplate the existential crisis of our day, you can simplify it with two opposing viewpoints. One stance says men and women are distinct and definitive, marriage is a holy union between them, and that children are the blessed fruit of that union. The other stance says gender is a social construct and there has never been a distinction between a man and a woman, nor is gender limited to male or female. A person is born as one gender, both genders, or neither. Marriage is unnecessary, or if desired, may take place between any genders or no genders at all. And of course, the unborn child is the fruit of nothing, is not even human or alive, and has no rights to live, other than what the person carrying that lump of cells permits.
Think about it! One side believes in the family, as God presents it to us, as His image. The other has rejected all aspects of the family, and by inference has rejected the image of God Himself. In other words, there is no God! Could opposing positions be any more contrary to one another?
The destruction of the family is the enemy’s chief strategy and the restoration of the family to the image of our Creator is the most important work on earth today. When we do that, only then will the Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
