Outer Darkness

 

 

“By their fruits you shall know them. Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name, and through Your name throw out demons, and through Your name do many wonderful works? And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!” (Matthew 7:20-23). Jesus was addressing self-deluded Christians. Their ministry had served  their own agenda for any number of possible reasons.  

 

I had the fortune and misfortune of attending a church for 35 years. It was a wonderful church to start with. The Lord graced my life with miracles after miracles. The preached word was pure taught by the best teachers as I realized years later. What happened? Pride crept in. They began to believe that were the only church who had the mind of the Lord. Deluded by their self-importance the multiple leadership headed by a once impressive apostle in Australia began to lord it over the flock. The atmosphere became arrogant, dictatorial – who one could marry, that mothers were wicked if they objected, who one could and could not invite into one’s home. Teenagers who did not attend church had to be evicted from home. Not even adult children were allowed to visit parents, not even at hospitals. Very young elders were appointed whom they could implicitly trust to serve their agenda.

 

I had co-authored a simple and highly sought after book, The Bible and Science, with Dr Jeff Hammond, Indonesia’s Billy Graham. The Indonesian language version sold like wildfire. Presumably driven by jealousy they sacked Jeff and secretly dumped all the boxes our books. I sheepishly rescued two boxes hoping that nobody spotted me. Bible teachers resigned when they witnessed the hypocrisy. The church was in rapid descent towards the gates of hell. I warned the assembly prophetically on three occasions but did the eldership listen? Of course not. By that time they had already sold their souls to the devil.

​

Five years before I finally left the church my son asked, “Why are you still at that church”. “Because the Lord hasn’t told me to leave yet”. He still had amazing things to teach a gullible Christian like me who believed that Christians could do no wrong. Our did not condone sexual immorality. They were worse! They became prisoners to a host of legalistic/religious/covetous demonic spirits.

 

The closest parallel I can think of is the church at Ephesus that potentially faced the same issues. Jesus called them to repentance.   Although they could discern false apostles they had lost sight of lovingly leading the flock (Revelation 2:1-7).

 

“So be on your guard that the very source of light in you is not darkness” (Matthew 6:23). The MKJV puts it this way, “If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness".

​

The key reason for their downfall was lawlessness! They had disobeyed the first two commandments which summed up the other eight.

 

“Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? And answering, he said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself. And He said to him, You have answered right; do this and you shall live” (Luke 10:25-28).

 

Every sin is a sin against relationship. Think about it.

 

Love is a fruit of the Spirit. Jesus said, “In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples. As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; continue in My love. If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you” (John 15:8-14).

 

Many a times the Lord may withhold or delay healing a person to draw attention to the fact that his/her sick soul desperately needs healing. I remember sitting next to the aisle at church one morning noticing the huge knuckles on an arthritic hand. I asked the couple to stay behind after the service for prayer. When the service ended, a former elder of the church came over to help minister to her hands. Within twenty seconds of us laying hands on her my friend received a word of knowledge. “You have much hate in your heart”. To my surprise she immediately burst out loudly, “Yes. I hate my parents”, whereupon her husband commented that it was destroying their marriage. We ended up praying for her heart condition rather than her arthritis. I feared that out of embarrassment she would not turn up at church the following Sunday. But they did, cheerfully and feeling much better. The husband was beaming with delight.

 

Well-meaning Christians sometimes testify to their doctor or dentist without love and unintentionally do much damage. When I told my dentist that I saw miraculous filling of teeth through prayer alone I did not leave him feeling useless. I encouraged him that he was doing a great job for the community and that I didn’t feel any pain. I fear that many leave health workers dismayed and negative about their jobs because of unloving testimonies. I particularly engage paramedics when I am being taken to hospital in an ambulance. They feel fulfilled with a service well done and listen cheerfully to my testimony.

 

Lack of love in marriage is one of the greatest issues in a couples who put on a weekly pretence in church. A lack of love has many forms of expression. God created the gender differences hence all the apostles were males, weak and faithless though they were to start with. Genesis Chapters 2-3 confirm why the apostle Paul encouraged husbands to protect their wives. Please dismiss any thought of mysogyny. I am talking Bible, the living Word of God, not expressing any biases.

 

“ And Jehovah God (Elohim) called to Adam and said to him, Where are you? And He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you that you should not eat? And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate. And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate. And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every animal of the field. You shall go upon your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel. To the woman He said, I will greatly increase your sorrow and your conception. In pain you shall bear sons, and your desire shall be toward your husband, and he shall rule over you. And to Adam He said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it! The ground is cursed for your sake. In pain shall you eat of it all the days of your life” (Genesis 3:9-17).

 

Note three points. The Lord did not address Eve but Adam the accountable head of the family. Secondly, neither Adam nor Eve took responsibility for having eaten forbidden fruit. Eve blamed the serpent while Adam blamed God. She was the more honest of the two by admitting that she had been deceived.  

 

Most importantly though, all translations I have consulted have surely mistranslated the ancient Hebrew word ‘Tshuqah’ as ‘desire’,  implying that woman desires to cling to man. While that may often be the case, a more appropriate translation is obtained by examining the meaning of ‘Shuq’  from which ‘Tsuqah’ was derived. ‘Shuq’ means to overflow, to run over, to submerge. It’s the tendency for a woman to conquer her husband, to have her own way.

 

Why did the public rave about the comic British TV series “Rumpole of the Bailey” and “Keeping up Appearances”. Jokes are the funniest when they contain an element of truth. Rumple played the part of a staid British barrister. Rumpole’s favourite saying in referring to his wife is “She who must be obeyed”. I myself have been told on occasions, “Why don’t you ask the boss?”  This tendency in women usurps loving headship:  Christ-husbands-wives-children, in that order (Colossians 3:18-23).

 

 

Will lawless Christians end up in hell? I don’t think so.

 

Jesus said that in no way will He reject those who come to him. Naturally if one walks away from Him, as the great evangelist Charles Templeton did, or lie to the Holy Spirit as Ananias and Saphira plotted to do (Acts 5:1-11), the Lake of Fire will be their final destination. However, there is such a place as “Outer Darkness” or being distanced from Jesus in shame (His phrase “Depart from Me”) during the 1000-year Millennium on Earth.

 

It's all to do with rewards, many or none at all. It is fascinating that the apostle Paul said that there will be three glories in the resurrection likening them to the three heavenly bodies, Sun – Moon – and star glories (some bright some only twinkling faintly) (1Corinthians 15:40-42). The Roman Centurion demonstrated absolute faith in Jesus.  Jesus promised him a great reward in heaven.

 

“…..Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say to you that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 8:5-12). There are two other instances of people being delivered to “Outer Darkness” (Matthew 22:13; 25:30). A very closely aligned punishment is ”Depart from Me” (Matthew 7:23; Luke 13:27) implying to be distanced from the presence of Jesus. A third instance is harsher. They stepped over the line (Matthew 25:41).

 

During the Millennium the walled city of the New Jerusalem is surrounded by Christian encampments (Revelation 20:5-11), “….. And they went up over the breadth of the earth and circled around the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. ….”  The Lord works according to patterns foreshadowed throughout the Bible. The layout of the camp of about 3,000,000 people around the Tabernacle of Moses in the wilderness is directly relevant (Book of Exodus). The glory of God was in their midst. Further away were the tents of the Levitical priests, then the Levites and then the rest of the tents into the distance. The specifics of the layout was given by command to Moses and Aaron. by the Lord.

 

God judged the Tower of Babel for their impudence. The Lord scattered them giving them new languages to keep language groups and families together. It’s no surprise then that the further the nations were scattered from the Middle East the more primitive they became, probably to the degree they had sinned.

 

Every nation has a record of the Flood. Very distantly placed groups such as the Australian aborigines retained only patchy dream-time stories of the Flood. Amazingly, the ancient (700 BC) Chinese compound ‘picture word’ for a ship is the most convincing. ‘Ship’ comprises a combination of three separate symbols - a boat, the number eight, and mouth (people). (Armstrong Institute of Bible Archaeology).  There were eight people on the Ark.

 

The more distant our relationship with the Lord was in our lifetime, the less bright our resurrection bodies and abode will be. Ditto if we didn’t love our brothers and sisters in the Lord, but only our own families. Their location will be distant from the City of the Great King. The shiniest stars among them will no doubt be comforting the lesser stars. All of them will be given 1000 years to reflect on what they did and did not do during their lifetime. That’s a long time but its justified. They are fortunate not to be sent to hell as some former covetous evangelists will, “Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain, and gave themselves up to the error of Balaam for reward…. feeding themselves without fear….fruitless autumn trees…. wandering stars for whom the blackness of darkness has been kept forever” (Jude 1: 11-13).

 

The end of the Millennium completes the Redemptive Week. At long last, the holy angels have been waiting for this , all the resurrected wicked are thrown into the Lake of Fire. This is their second death. Lucifer is also thrown into the Lake of Fire to join the false prophet and the beast who have already been there the last 1000 years (Revelation 19:20; 20:10).

 

Why was the devil given the privilege to exist for an extra 1000 years. It is God’s strange payback. God wants him to see that man redeemed mankind can live 1000 years and beyond. Satan robbed us from the second that Adam and Eve ate of the tree of good and evil, “You shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Revelation 2:17).  All the patriarchs died during the same prophetic day in which they were they were born. The Methuselah lived to a ripe old age of 969, while Adam passed away much younger at 630.

 

Adam fathered many sons and daughters (Genesis 5:4). Following Noah’s flood longevity declined rapidly. Shem, Noah’s second born became the father of the Semites. He only reached an age of 600.  Joshua at the time of Moses died at an ‘old’ age of 110.

 

The Lord comforted me that after the Millennium all will rejoice and shine, “I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. And the sea no longer is” (Revelation 21:1). The sea represented a mixture of peoples (Revelation 17:5).

 

“….all these things being about to be dissolved, what sort ought you to be in holy behaviour and godliness…. beloved …. be diligent, spotless, and without blemish, to be found by Him in peace” (2Peter 3:10-14).
