“They circled around in the wilderness for 40 years, looking for revival, when all of that time they failed to perceive: that God was “into” ALL RELATIONSHIPS! LUKE 1:17…

NOTE: this was originally published July 10, 2012 www.taveauleader.com, and then again on this site, in 2015.. right as the DFW Leader Ministry ONLINE Fellowship got underway. it just a small starter post of very many which followed. the SCOWL of false Pharisee DOCTRINE…WELP recurring dark, sinister, needless far off withstanding , even seemed occult…accusation and  Biased FRUIT inspired.

Hence the Noble Berean, Maven of Apostolic Theology was challenged to Bible ongoing research..mainly as her own sr pastor EXTENDED (includes all of the RESPECTFUL DEEP SOUTH MEN)  saved and EORR..family was such a NON WELP stark contrast.

THE OPPOSITE OF THE EMPATHY FREE, COMPASSION FATIGUED, BIG EGO I SAMUEL  ELI TEMPLE HIGH PRIESTHOOD. SO THIS BELOVED FIRST BORN DAUGHTER…NEVER ONCE KNEW GENDER SQUELCHING…DIMINISHING, ACCUSING, SUPPRESSING LIMITATIONS, LAW…Big BITTER ANTAGONISTIC….seer EVIL SPYING MISOGYNY… UNTIL OUT IN SPIRIT FILLED  (actually mostly shepherding, covering, TV, FAME and FORTUNE,mega  Roman Patricianism… seeming strongly affected…. CHARISMATIC )MINISTRY.

MY GOOD SAVED FATHER..was a no guile sr office minister, unsung, up in heaven, born in molecule size  Dallas, Georgia, but beginning to be openly LAUDED as a HERO MAN, PASTOR, 5 fold servant office..FINE EXAMPLE.. in Dallas, Fort Worth Texas..where genuine authentic ORGANIC Christian was nearly impossible to find. Where “professional Christian ministry” left a mega, extremely troubling,  big vaccuum… with  a barely discernable  genuine holy fear of the Lord..even a quiet reality of EORR  sincere RELATIONSHIPS.

So after a time, the MEMORIES of his life long practice of GENUINE DIVERSE RESPECT and being not ..(REPEAT “NOT”!!)..  BOUND UP by the Old Testament Levitical Law……caused his quietly lived “micro” minister,  private and teaching, however, strong effective GENUINE SAVED WITNESS to come to this his beloved daughters mind..due to the STRONG EXTREME BIG CONTRAST of “his senior ministry example” and the modern day achievement, fix em fast, and System forming money seeming centric, TV celebrity strongly effected now.

Above; The writer’s own devout Southern Baptist..senior pastor patient daddy, Kimball Johnson, Jr,  never prayed in an unknown tongue, nor accumulated vast fortunes nor was a popular, widely world wide TV Famous, revered house hold name…He lived his life as before the Audience of One, the Living God and before his family..in Common Person, humility and  deep quiet passion and a loving sense of Happy Camper real joy, wisdom, wit and gentle  keen humor…He lived as close to “Bible organic” as anyone I’ve ever repeatedly encountered.. from then …to right now. His anointing for God’s patience, understanding and genuine Long life LOVE  is the bettered than acquired mega wealth.

And he was a one woman gentleman, ” a no guile servant sr minister”..(he would give you the time of day…not like most ministers NOW)….as was as a RESPECTER OF ALL MINISTRY, HUMAN, EVERY DAY..persons…ALSO  a respecter of leader woman, his mother, his wife, my capable mother, my sister and myself. As a result ..due to his love I grew up LIBERATED and not back UNDER the Law.

Thus when I went out into spirit filled ministry, His non legalistic mature FREEDOM..caused me to realize the PRISON HOUSE of BACK UNDER THE OT LEVITICAL LAW..and it made me very concerned for MODERN CHRISTIANS, husbands, wives,  teens and ALL Born again BIBLE GENDERS..over many of whom seemed to be repressed, suppressed and oppressed..being held CAPTIVE under OLD COUNTRY FALSE WELP CONTROLLING Mindsets, ERRANT LEGALISTIC  TRADITIONS..

So this is a real reason WHY I train. I also aim to be a calm as he and as EORR, approachable.

SO TELL EACH OF THE MISOGYNISTS, BIG OLE EGO BOYS, CHARLATANS AND CHAUVINISTS, ACCUSERS AND CAGEY DARK PHARISEES..to take it up with HIM… MY DEAR SAVED FATHER… Meaning… about this NON ACCEPTING OF BEING MISOGYNY, BACK UNDER THE LAW…as in  Myself…

…..WHEN (and IF …YOU make to)  see him in HEAVEN.

FOR HE (+ MOTHER) DIDN’T RAISE ANY WEAK KNEED   PUSH OVER …OR ANYBODY’S PROPHETIC WUSS. (plus add in FATHER, SON and HOLY GHOST..ALONG WITH  GOOD BIBLE TRAINING FROM MANY MOVEMENTS)

“As she (Hannah) kept on praying to the Lord, Eli observed her

mouth.Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving

but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to

her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.” I

Samuel 1:12

THE BOOK OF APOSTOLIC MINISTRY RELATIONSHIPS…

I SAMUEL 1-4

In the oft told Bible story in I Samuel, the weeping Hannah is

pictured crying out to God on the steps of the temple. Pure hearted

Hannah has been berated and repeatedly mocked, her life made

unbearable by her competitor, the other wife of her husband,

Elkanah, as she had been blessed with many sons and daughters.

And in the middle east during that period, children were a sign of

God’s blessing and big favor.

 

Thus when Hannah remained barren, year in and year out, the competitive accusative spirit of Peninnah would assault her to make her life unbearable. Even while Elkanah would repeatedly go out of his way to try to comfort and reassure his dear wife Hannah, even giving her a double portion of the temple sacrificial meal, while he gave the other wife and each of her children a single portion, even his act of loving support and compassion only served to remind her of her sorrowful childless state.

Year in and year out, the entire family would travel up to the temple during the yearly worship and sacrifice set times in Shiloh. And on each trip, Peninnah would provoke Godly Hannah to tears. This weeping confused and troubled Elkanah. He wondered why his kind caring was not enough to take away her continual grief.

HISTORICAL BACKDROP

Temple High Priest Eli was the overseer high priest during this period time in Israel. He was a grown man with two grown up sons, who served alongside him as his two associate minister priests. The high priestly family were under what we now refer to as the Old Testament Levitical Law. (This consisted of the Pentateuch/Torah(aka Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) and the Mosaic 10 Commandments (Exodus 20).

 

The patriarchal head of the family clan in I Samuel, Eli, has been selected by the

Most High God to be set in the highest office as the Lord’s High Priest of the Temple.

This elevated senior ministry office position was akin to what would not be regarded as a regional overseer for the Hebrew people, which also means that only GOD could set a Levitical man into this highly influential and traditionally regarded and respected high office (meaning that is was also an HONOR to have been selected by God( aka GOD GRANTED, GRACED…as it had not, even could not be EARNED or ACHIEVED).

HIGH PRIEST, PATRIARCH, SOMEONE’S OWN FATHER: ELI

However, as the ancient times passed, with all of his surely many talents and big spiritual God granted gifts, High Priest High Priest Eli, who was caught up in all of the many priestly office functions and big responsibilities, eventually lost his cutting edge with primarily the LORD, then with HIMSELF and also with each of his SONS (Hophni and Phineas)…ADDED: plus also Eli’s not once mentioned, aka missing WIFE….

Sadly, the Bible gives evidence that Eli had not been a good parent, truly 100 percent sold out, senior office overseer leader. nor was he, from what I Samuel depicts, a emotionally very strong person… when we judge each of his impure sons by the remaining fruits produced in both of their lives, ministry, (regarding relationships)…we observed basic immature crop failure, even wanton misbehavior…even though they were both surely ministry high called, very gifted, even multi- talented, and able bodied, direct descendants in the high priestly line.

Based purely on what the Bible shares is I Samuel, there is much strong evidence which leads us to surmise that High Priest Eli had been either too busy or to emotionally weak to discipline his chosen sons…as they did things** which the Lord declared as abominations before Him as well as partaking in sin with many of God’s temple attending local parishioners. (**so MUCH more regarding this down below…)

And when we read I Samuel we find great evidence the High Priest Eli himself was less than skilled in deep spiritual perception and ongoing discernment. Perhaps the temple office continually wore at him and he never really took time off to simply do nothing but try to hear what was on God’s heart.

While nobody knows for sure what Eli did or did not do..there was ample Bible evidence that pointed to the fact that while Eli may have still kept the “knowledge of the Holy One” (meaning “the abiding fear of the Lord”)… But based on what the Book of I Samuel states, evidently neither of Eli’s two called to be high priests, gifted sons had deep other centered, even relationship, discernment, must less ANY abiding “holy fear of the Lord” (Reminder: Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM”)

I SAMUEL 2:12- 17 ELI’S SPIRITUALLY GIFTED HIGH CALLED

MINISTRY OFFICE SONS

First Samuel Chapter 2: 12-17 describes how base and worthless his two sons were regarded. V. 12 states, “they did not know or regard the Lord.”also describes persons who are spiritual dull, lacking in clear discernment or holy Eternal perspective ” either one was living a holy life style as unto the Lord, (which in Old Testament /New Testament rules would automatically have disqualified them from serving in such a high office in the temple).

As we already mentioned, the Bible reminds us that both of Eli’s sons were ungodly associate priests.

In a similar description about another section of high priesthood, the prophet Ezekiel witnessed the similar life style of regional ministry leadership and gave the Word of from the Lord came was declared in Ezekiel 2:26,

“Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common: they teach that there is no difference between the clean and the unclean.”

And Bible history shows that the sins of the sons of Eli may have been passed down from High Priest Eli, as when we investigate further on, we find evidence that middle aged Office Priest Eli may have become dull of discernment, overly busy, too self involved and due to all of this, then blasé about God’s ministry call, and also human compassion fatigued, emotionally drained as well,with all of this combining to make High Priest Eli, spiritual dense and clearly imperceptive: after all he had been in ministry for many decades and by THIS TIME in his office life, apparently Chief Priest ELI perceived that he now had SEEN IT ALL and repeatedly DONE IT ALL, so that now he could sit down a bit more (mentally) and RELAX.

AND BY NOW, after being on call for DECADES, the elder patriarch leader had learned how to better spare himself from becoming emotionally drained and worn down. He had found many reasonable ministry STEREOTYPES by which he could spiritually perceive another…and if it RESEMBLED former persons, former cases which he had found to resurface again and again in ministry, the patriarchal Levitical Temple High Priest felt that he owed himself that much..so that he could lighten up and enjoy his life and ministry much more…if he could find subtle, unobtrusive METHODS to AVOID and DEFLECT what he now regarded as MY TIME WASTERS, ENERGY DEPLETERS,SOB STORY BAGGAGE LADEN BITTER SISTERS, AND (also among the writer’s office pet peeves) SERIAL COMMMENTERS, (but a mere few!)

 

ASIDE, and if living around a dismissive patronizing CHAUVINISM, even MISOGYNY in New Testament MINISTRY is the left overs “remaining (intentionally) BACK UNDER THE OT BOOK OF THE LAW, then someone really needs to get out what is in the NEW TESTAMENT and choose to rise up and be a NOBLE BEREAN! (using Apostle PAUL). For GOD HIMSELF, the Father of nonaccuser ISAIAH 11:3 leader MESSIAH, who fully embodied the NON DIS-RESPECTER OF ANY STYLE OF HUMAN PERSONS will hold each one of us directly ACCOUNTABLE!

OT LEVITICAL LAW ASIDE: And, due to what we know about the Old Testament Levitical Law, all women at that point in time were often viewed as second class citizens, some readily dismissed as “under the curse” and equal with chattel. Sadly that Levitical Law view regarding leader females, single “ easily used, gullible, usurping,complaining,seductive, time waster little errant women “ is an passed down ministry stereotype which is still widely present even in SOME PARTS of the Christian born again New Testament Patriarchal 5 Fold Offices!) (But EXTRA HAPPILY ..not among HER Senior office FATHER, other extended family member, all her MANY spiritual advisors, IFFM overseer BOARD overcoming MALES)

 

And as Eli had been on almost continual EMERGENCY CALL ( many years in ongoing)..by this point in time, so that now (and with Eli also drawing near to the age of RETIREMENT) ELI had convinced himself that he was deeply fed up with having to listen to all those sad stories. Now, inwardly, secretly, the over busy High Priest resented almost ANYONE who would impede his daily momentum.

 

By now, the elder Eli had grown very weary of what he now regarded as “the over many easily upset, usually overly emotional and big time complaining, time wasting women.” And perhaps Eli was passive aggressive, being weaker emotionally, (as per evidence of Eli’s relationship with both his demanding sons)..the writer offers a theory that maybe Eli hated trouble and would go to any lengths to purposely AVOID any UPSET..which also meant that he often hid from up front confrontation by inventing clever artful manipulation tricks to keep those he deeply regarded as “potentially unpleasant far AWAY.”

 

Because the writer has had some experience with avoidant blame shifters who will go to remarkable lengths to avoid CONFRONTING another OR to avoid BEING UP FRONT RESPECTFUL CONFRONTED…plus the FRUITS of ELI’S two ministry associate office sons who did horrendous type things to hurt and defame GOD’S GOOD NAME, also HIS OFFERINGS, as well as to bring DISTRUST to GOD’S HOUSE/IN THE SENIOR OFFICE local MINISTRY… by the son’s ABUSIVE HERETICAL ARTFUL PRACTICES to MANY of God’s true people (we’ll comment on that down below).

 

And there is evidence that because each one living in the close old times region mostly likely KNEW what was truly going on and what was NOT…as Eli’s two sons were given ministry carte blanche to rob and repeatedly USE God’s own community people, and yet ELI refused to rise up to take a stand and then REMOVE each one of his controlling chief office high called sons from their ongoing MINISTRY OFFICES…then one can only deduce that ELI, while gifted, chief office high leader called, was really nothing more than a weak spineless emotional wuss.

 

And if ELI had authentically been discerning, spiritually perceptive and dwelling in right RELATIONSHIP with first the LORD and then both of HIS SONS (PS Where was ELI’S WIFE..did his weakness and moral cowardice, chief office disrespectful apostolic misogyny actually finally drive her away? ( more about underlying reasons for making an apostolic leader misogyny big theory.. LATER BELOW.)

 

During the course of his senior ministry, High Priest Eli kept a busy, filled appointment schedule. He had to offer much deep counsel, lead and officiate the many sacrifices, principal office duties, and officiate at special ceremonies. Eli had to be there on call for those in emergency…and many more ministry services.

Eventually all of this heightened real life daily pressure and over exertion, in addition to be invited out for all sorts of celebrations, weddings, local congregant big free dinners. etc. all combine to make Eli’s weight tremendously expand. And in addition, carrying around all of that extra body weight began to add to his already growing overall weariness.

THE HIGH PRIEST ELI SPIES A SOBBING SINGLE WOMAN

I SAMUEL 1: 9-18

Married woman, Hannah, is barren. She is being accused and badly persecuted by her rival wife, who is relentless. Hannah’s husband loves her dearly yet that is not enough to take away all of the stigma and heart pain from being childless.

Therefore Hannah leaves her home,temporarily, to make a trip to pray at the House of God. She is seeking peace from her rival’s relentless pointed attacks, but also needs the comfort from being in the House of the Father God.

 

I SAMUEL 1:9-10 The possibly middle aged, even a bit older Levitical High Priest Eli goes outside to catch a short break. He is catching a few rays, seated and leaning by a post at the temple. Very suddenly, right in the middle of his 30 coffee break, he notices a weeping sobbing all alone WOMAN.

 

POINT: WHEN the High Priest Eli first looks over in Hannah’s direction, we submit, that he was looking at her through the Book of the Law, Old Testament Levitical often accuser, judgmental, even highly SUSPICIOUS, SEVERELY CRITICAL blatantly biased (thereby allowing HIM to use all of this to rationalize easily DISMISS any/each and every similar TYPE OF “HER” )

REAL LIFE BIG ONGOING SELAH

V. 11-14 Weeping Hannah is praying to the Lord due to her barreness. Weary, deeply jaundiced, Eli the mature mantled High Priest immediately uses a MINISTRY PROVEN STEREOTYPE to perceiver diagnose the HER from afar. The first thought that forms in Eli’s weary Levitical Patriarchal Old Testament leader mind is “this is just one more of those drunk females with big baggage.” We should note, that as soon as the Temple Office High Priest notices a (HUMAN PERSON) who is also a LONE FEMALE weeping, he really ought to have gotten up to walk over their to speak to her one to one (showing RELATIONSHIP VALUE, MINISTRY OFFICE REAL RESPECT) and also NOT reduced the Under the Levitical Law HER to NOT REGARDED WORTHY OF RESPECT.

 

ASIDE: the writer’s MINISTRY MISOGYNY BIG THEORY : Due to the fact that Eli is Bible depicted as tolerated, enabled by keeping both of his ego driven sons on the payroll and allowing them to ministry office affiliate..even FOLLOWING them both being widely known as “sleeping with the women who came to the temple”

 

POINT: Priest Eli evidently did not have respect for all WOMEN (as much as he did MEN) or else Senior Ministry Office Eli would have rightly perceived both his sons perpetrating DEEP MORAL INJUSTICE to the WOMEN…and then he would acted on it by kicking both of their big user kiesters to the curb…

 

NOTE: and this ENABLING, GENTRIFIED ACCEPTING TOLERANCE of BIG FORNICATION had already been going on, way long before HANNAH appeared on the front of the temple) which then implies CHAUVINISM, even deep disrespectful (FOR ALL KINDS OF FAITH FILLED WOMEN) MINISTRY OFFICE MISOGYNY.

 

RISE UP AND SELAH.

HANNAH’S APPEARANCE BRINGS FORTH DEEPER MINISTRY INSIGHT
As weeping Hannah is seen on the front of the temple porch steps, it reveals even more about the complex “a whole lot lying beneath the leader surface” ELI HIGH PRIESTHOOD.

This Bible passage is NOT JUST about God answering Hannah’s big miracle prayer. And it is NOT just about God sending the first prophet of Israel to be born via Hannah.

Rather it is similar to the LAMPSTAND who is remarked upon (and strongly rebuked by the LORD) the Book of Revelation, chapter 2 “The Lost First Love Doing Good Deeds Church of Ephesus.” Also the letter is written to the LAMPSTAND: meaning the overseer senior apostolic PASTOR.

 

BIBLE TYPES: I SAMUEL ELI, BOOK OF REVELATION CHAPTER 2

The ELI HIGH PRIEST (who first from far away judges, then accuses rather than rising up to enter into RELATIONSHIP) is a prior form of the LOST FIRST LOVE LAMPSTAND (Rev 2). WHY? Due to the fact that as business, doing good works INCREASES, time apart from DUTY, PRESSURE, DEMANDING RELATIONSHIPS, BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT (all which may be VERY GOOD if not set up as any IDOL)….now sap all of the left over spiritual, emotional ENERGY and precious TIME which means that GOD no longer gets FIRST LOVE TIME OFF PRIORITY..

ALSO, much work without any TIME APART to reflect, to relax, to deeply/sincerely hear back from the LORD increases WORK ACHIEVEMENT, MINISTRY PRODUCTION but then leaves the BIG TIME PRODUCER less discerning, less deeply perceptive and far more weary which makes anyone human PRONE TO RELATIONSHIP ISSUES.(we are less patient, more tempted to be super sensitive, to accuse. to clam up, to leave, to fight and have strive, etc) IF we are what the 12 step programs name as the HALT POSITION

 

THE HALT POSITION: Hungry Angry Lonely Tired..then the devil likes to comes. NOTE this is similar to the story of JESUS being tempted in the wilderness following His 40 days of fasting, in LUKE 4)

HANNAH AND ELI’S CHANGE FOR THE BETTER IN RELATIONSHIP

I SAMUEL 1: 15-18

Thankfully Hannah,though at first disrespected and accused by the chief MINISTRY AUTHORITY possesses healthy self respect as well as ample self esteem…as well as an abiding real respect for leader authority

 

HANNAH MAJOR KUDOS Here is why: Hannah could have been caught by surprise by the High Priest’s insulting accusation of him perceiving her to be DRUNK when she was weeping tears from deep grief. And had the future mother of national PROPHET SAMUEL been easily offended, super sensitive, she might have turned away and then departed…but had she chosen to do so, then SHE would have LOST what she so LONGED FOR: the CHILD OF GOD’S AMAZING PROMISE.

AND/OR mighty fearless woman leader HANNAH could have responded back to her high priest with a sarcastic nasty, sassy, disrespectful, explosively angry and bitter reply. However, deeply respecting, emotionally mature, deeply secure, restful Hannah, chose not berate the priest…yet she still stood up for herself, by gently yet totally upfront declaring to Eli that she was indeed NOT the DRUNK he had misperceived.

 

V. 15-16 “And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful

spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul

before the Lord. Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the

abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

 

THANKS ALSO FOR CHIEF HIGH PRIEST ELI ALSO SHOWING VALOR

V. 17 And HAPPILY High Priest Eli also changed his tone and respectfully, in the spirit of Godly maturity, then agreed in prayers for God to give her a long awaited child.

V. 17 “Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of Him.”

It was very soon after temple front steps DIVINE APPOINTMENT that Hannah conceived the child who turned out to be the first national strength major prophet of Israel: the prophet Samuel (who later grew up to give the word of the Lord to King Saul and then prophetically anoint David to be the King)

So even though the Temple Office Minister Eli had some rather serious weaknesses and many shortcomings, God still mightily used him. As a matter of fact, God uses Eli in a RELATIONSHIP to mentor the young child SAMUEL for a few important years.

I SAMUEL 3:14 “For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.”

I SAMUEL 1:12 “Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.” (Belial means “sons without a yoke” “without someone above you”

Papa ELI was either a big WUSS and/or was overly absorbed with HIS Big Ministry rather than overseeing, being involved in, as in parenting hands on …in a RELATIONSHIP with both his two big boys)..yet the definitions of BELIAL helps us to determine that (along with I SAMUEL 3:14

I SAMUEL 3:14 “For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.”

 

The term belial (בְלִיַּעַל bĕli-yaal) is a Hebrew adjective meaning “worthless” from two common words beli- (בְּלִי “without-“) and ya’al ( יָעַל “value”). (Wikipedia)

 

Belial, from a Hebrew word that was formed from the combination of two other Hebrew words, pronounced bel-ee, meaning failure, and yaw-al, meaning to be valuable, was a term of scorn meaning to waste one’s worth. The word is used in the Old Testament (see The Older Testament) to describe people who were rebellious and lawless. In the New Testament, it’s used only once, for Satan.”(Daily Bible Study by Wayne Blank)

I SAMUEL 2: 17 “Wherefore the sin of the (ministry) young men was v

ery great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord”

I SAMUEL 2:22 “Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.”

NOTE: at last Patriarch ELI is ready to take a moral stand but it is now too late, as both of HOPHNI AND PHINEAS’ character is now fully and deeply formed)

 

NOW the aged Patriarch Eli’s sons would continue to wax worse and worse…clouding the minds of the local people about WHAT, WHO was the nature of a HOLY REVERED HEAVENLY FATHER. Something big had to change…and SOON.

v.23-25 Papa Eli soberly addresses both his progeny:’

Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord’s people to transgress. If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him?

Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.”

Eli finally at long last solemnly declares that it is one type of sin to pay no attention to their natural father, but it is quite another type of sin (even more fearful and grievous) to disrespect and arrogantly fail to heed, pay attention to their Creator Heavenly Father

THE SUDDEN APPEARING OF A WALK IN THE OFFICE OF AN UNKNOWN PROPHET

SILENT NAMELESS FACELESS UNKNOWN PROPHET SUDDENLY SHOWS UP

 

While there are many well known, well regarded, historical Bible NAMES mentioned in in this ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS story. It is interesting to see which ones they are. So we now mention most if not all of the MAIN LEADER ones.

RELATIONSHIPS FOUND IN THIS ARTICLE: ( I SAMUEL 1-4)

They are: HANNAH and PENIAH, HANNAH and ELKANAH, HANNAH AND GOD, HANNAH AND ELI,HANNAH AND PROPHET SAMUEL, ELI AND PROPHET SAMUEL, ELI AND HOPHNI, ELI AND PHINEAS, ELI AND HIS MIA WIFE, BOTH PRIESTLY SONS AND THEIR FATHER ELI, BOTH SONS AND THE LIVING GOD, BOTH SONS AND SOME TYPES OF WOMEN, BOTH OF THE MINISTRY OFFICE LEADER GIFTED SONS AND GOD’S OFFERING, THE NATION OF ISREAL AND THE TOLERANT HIGH PRIEST OFFICE, THE NAMELESS FACELESS SUDDEN OFFICE OF THE PROPHET AND THE ENTIRE BIG MINISTRY OFFICE GROUP.

 

YET NOW, as we proceed to end, we have a very surprising , unannounced OFFICE OF THE PROPHET who shows up to give the WORD FROM THE LORD to the well known local elevated office PULPIT (HIGH PRIEST ELI) …and then this true prophet suddenly disappears as fast as he seemed to appear…but his OBEDIENCE to give the WORD to the much more well known, elevated TEMPLE OVERSEER still remains noted in God’s Holy Bible Scriptures.

THIS IS THE SOLEMN WORD WHICH THE NAMELESS FACELESS

TRUE PROPHET HAND DELIVERED AS TO THE WELL KNOWN

ORACLE TEMPLE LEADER:

1 SAMUEL 2: 27

27 “And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?

28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

32 And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

33 And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.

34 And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.

35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.

36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.”

 

AND LATER, this no name faceless prophet’s office Word came to

pass.
I SAMUEL 4:17-22

And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

And his daughter in law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.

And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.”

SELAH: The Father is BIG on ABIDING RELATIONSHIPS, with the PRIMRY ONE for each one of us, most especially in office apostolic ministry is our ongoing, abiding TRUSTING relations with HIM followed by each of the other 8 (see PAGE on this home page TEN BIBLE RELATIONSHIPS)

AND even if God chooses to move in RESTORING MANY and BLESSING, WITH BIG ABUNDANCE, each us most decide WHO we’re going to purely SERVE. OFFICE/MAMMON, THE LIVING MOST HIGH ETERNAL GOD?

AND if the LORD decides to clean out every one of His apostolic leader BARNS we need to understand that is is ONLY the Father making ready what ought to be viewed as HIS BARNS …so that the SHEEP will be safe and maturely nurtured once they start to arrive.

 

THE DESERT DRY APOSTOLIC MINISTRIES each may be likened to the above (ELI HIGH PRIEST HOOD, HOPNI AND PHINEAS, REVELATION 2 CHURCH OF EPHESUS LAMPSTAND LEADER but also to what appears to be a possible common “in House” apostolic thread ever one of them: GOD, THE RELATIONSHIPS and PICKING MAKING MAMMON OVER ALL RELATIONSHIPS.

SELAH.

And we can use PSALM 115 as a partial reminder for NONE OF US to ever let OURSELVES become so busy that we LOOSE our first LOVE and slip backwards into conveying to the many OTHERS that we have slowly morphed back to resemble the ELI TEMPLE HIGH PRIEST HOOD which slowly became EMPATHY FREE, COMPASSIONLESS, DULL OF PERCEPTION, MORALLY COMPROMISED, ACCUSING, TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT, and BARELY ABLE TO DEEPLY DISCERN….

 

PSALM 115 KJV

Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.

Abiding Mighty Blessings!
