The Third Commandment- of the 10 commandment challenge :)

Good morning. For today's blog we will continue on with the 10 Commandment challenge.

Deuteronomy 4:1-6 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.

² Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
³ Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
⁴ But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.
⁵ Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
⁶ Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

 The Third Commandment says this "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold guiltless that taketh his name in vain"

Ok so the third commandment in plain terms says to not take the Lords name in vain and that we will be held accountable for doing so.
 First lets address that Gods actual name  in Hebrew is Yahweh and Jesus' name  is Yeshua. There is an deceitful argument that some use to say that misusing Jesus name or putting gods name in front of 'dammit" does not break the 3rd commandment as we are not saying Yahweh or Yeshua while cursing.?? Can we really sit comfortably with that interpretation? Do you think God would condone us cursing at all, let alone using whatever language we speak to swear in his name? If this wasn't meant to be an integral part to be understood and followed even today it wouldn't be one of the 10 commandments which is referred to numerous times throughout the Bible to be followed always.
Many curse while using Jesus' name or yell out obscenities when injured or upset.  We may not realize just how horribly defiant and disrespectful that is. To actually use the Lords name in a negative context at all makes total sense that God would not be happy.
It is getting so used today that most may not even realize that they are taking the Lords name in vain or breaking the commandment. Even saying "Oh my G--" is not acceptable within Gods standards. I used to be famous for this one. Most think that they are only words and that it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but YOU would be as wrong as I was as God says differently.
To non chalantly use Gods name even innocently enough as a act of surprise or genuine upset is still being disrespectful.  If we don't mean anything by it and it is meant to be somewhat flippant why would you use HIS name at all in the sentence?  It absolutely shows God He is not first in our life if we can be that flippant about using his name at all in any circumstance. It shows a lack of honour and obedience for our Lord and his commandments.

Start ANY Hollywood movie and you will hear the Lords name being taken in vain repeatedly and usually within minutes of the production beginning. This is done intentionally throughout Hollywood as Satan wants us all to break the commandments as often as we can.  If he can get us to disregard the commandments or think that if said innocently enough or just as a random curse word then whats the big deal? Well God says it is a big deal and when we sit down to really think about it, it should be a huge deal.

Did Jesus not mean what he said when he said if you break even the least of the commandments and teach others to do so that you will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven? Was that not true? I don't believe Jesus to be a liar..do you?

It sounds like a pretty big deal to me and should be a big deal to you and your family as well.

Activity to do to honour the 3rd commandment:  We will be setting up a swear jar in our home. This will help us to become more aware of the language we use in order to stop it altogether.  God would not want us to continue on this path and is patiently waiting for us to all figure it out. Will you and your family be taking part in joining me and my family in honouring God by following ALL of his commandments? 

The Second Commandment

Exodus 20:4 "Thou Shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of they that hate me; and shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments"

First we need to recognize the two separate commands in the second commandment.  Lets start by looking at what God means when he says 'Graven image'.  Man likes to redefine things we dont understand fully to suit our own interpretations but we must again be aware that in doing so we are then changing Gods meaning.
Man has been taught that a graven image means something we have to bow down to but what does scripture specifically say? If we read the scripture listed above in Exodus 20:4 again, Thou shalt not MAKE unto thee any graven image..... The term 'make' is used which is very different from the term "worship" or "bow down to" in the beginning of this commandment.  Later on in the scripture however, it does then talk of not bowing down or worshiping idols or statues. But they are separate statements.  He made sure to state these separately and for that reason we should stop to ask why?

In the Exodus scripture it says we are not to make any images of anything in heaven, in earth or in the waters but then if we read Deuteronomy 4:16-18 it gives more description and an even clearer explanation of what things we are not to make graven images of.  Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female. The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air. The likeness of any thing that creepethon the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth.

If looked up in the version I use which is the Authorized King James version 1839 Dictionary or Concordance says that "Graven" is something that is "carved or cut out"   And that same concordance shows that the term "image" means a drawing, picture, or statute of something; a copy or something very like another"   A few examples are Man in his own image Gen 1:27, Not make any graven image Exodus 20:4

Graven images then would be any three dimensional drawing picture or statues of anything male or female that represents anything in heaven, anything in the earth including beast, bird, creeping thing  and then anything in the sea below including fish in the waters below. It then later goes into more detail explaining how we are not to worship any of these things. 


Does this constitute anything we collect as well then? One of the consequences of collecting things as a innocent hobby later become idols of the heart as we become attached to our collections of figurines, dolls toys etc. We may think its innocent enough nevertheless it teeters as a form of idolatry and it draws our attention away from God and our families. 

Deuternonomy 7:26 "Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing"

With this being said does giving our childrens dolls, toys and stuffed animals then also break the second commandment? I know your first reaction is the same as mine ...."ok a little neurotic now maybe", but think about that for a second. We have already agreed that we interpret scripture the way we want in order to fit our lifestyle right? Stay with me for a second.... if He says there is to be no 3D images of anything in heaven or earth or the waters below and we buy our child a stuffed dolphin not thinking we are doing anything wrong....is that not an image of something in the seas? Again we go back to the fact that the second commandment doesnt mention that these things have to be worshipped in order to qualify as a graven image right? I know ....again I see the logic that still sounds innocent enough correct? Now take it one step further. When we give these items to our children most become attached to at least one specific item throughout their childhood.  That item usually follows them into their adolescent years in some cases and becomes a source of comfort for the child.  Who in reality should the child turn to in times of sorrow or distress for comfort and peace? Have we unknowingly been placing an inanimate stuffed object as a false sense of security and protection for our children to believe in rather than teaching them that their true saviour and protector is Jesus Christ?
It is made clear that ALL Graven images and idols are forms of abominations. Throughout history we have been told that they were used to attract spiritual demons and curses quite openly and still continue today in other countries in the form of voodoo and medicine men. They do this using dolls. Children were not to even touch the dolls as they were known to carry "magical" healing powers and today we give them innocently as gifts we think.
Did you know that Egyptians were buried with dolls so they would have spirit friends/servants in the spirit world ?
So maybe there is something more to dolls than we know but God is fully aware of....

The Second Commandment also then clearly states that we should not reduce God to a likeness of a physical object.I believe that the devil will use the false imagery of Jesus to trick mankind into worshiping him instead of God.  God is a living God not a statue or a picture. Yahweh does not need us to make statues,idols or images to worship Him or to sell or promote his kingdom. When we make images it distorts and limits our perceptions of Him.  Bowing down to pay homage to ones own image of God may appear as an act of devotion only until you understand Gods true purpose for us. All that is required is simple obedience to his teachings. God expects those who worship him to demonstrate their love by following his commandments not by following rituals in front of a statue.  Acts 17:29-30 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold or silver o stone graven by art or mans device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at: but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness..."

God is far greater than anything we can see or even imagine! He has left us specific instructions or commandments that he wants us to follow. It is not neurotic or fanatical to do what God commands of us. Was Daniel a fanatic when he refused to follow the crowd and bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar? Was Shadrack, Meshack and Abendigo fanatical to listen to God and stand for what they believed in? 

In my house will be removing anything that is not of God in our home. I have done a walk through and have a few little statue items. I was a collector of unicorns(oops) when I was young but nothing as an adult really. If God showed up and told you to get rid of all the collectibles you own, all the figurines all the stuffed toys and dolls and gave you eternity in exchange would you resist ? It really isn't as hard or as big of a sacrifice as you would think. ;) 

THE10 COMMANDMENT CHALLENGE ;)

Good afternoon everyone. I'm going to try something a little different and a little interactive with the blog starting today. If you have already been reading my blogs then you will understand when I  start this blog out with a controversial statement. "Religion is simply organized rules whereas KNOWING The God Of Israel TRULY is a Relationship."  Anyone can simply follow rules and although tedious in nature as well as unnecessarily burdensome they are do-able for a while. What typically seems to happen with most who have lapsed their faith, as if BY pattern,  have had bad "religious" experiences and then incorrectly condemn and dump GOD because of it. We often quickly condemn God for the actions of people!  Now out of fairness for a moment I stopped and thought of how I would feel if someone dumped me as a friend, wife, mother etc because of something someone else did that I had no control over......I would  by no means, be cool with that.

An actual relationship with God requires a lot more effort,patience and discipline and a lot less pride, arrogance and selfishness on our parts.  It truly is the greatest gift on the planet!  In order to strengthen a relationship with Him you first must be obedient to His word. ALL OF THEM.... So that is where we are going to start.  One of the most famous bible scripture known to man worldwide are  the 10 Commandments. These commandments are the foundation for the Bible and Gods word.  It is the very structure that your relationship with God  is based on. My family and I are going to start a 10 commandment journey and you are more than welcome to join us. We will go through every commandment and dissect each one for its true meaning. We will then effectively take the required steps to make changes in our lives that will please God according to his instructions laid out in the 10 commandments:):):):)

The 1st commandment:
Exodus 20:2-3 Thou Shalt have no other Gods before me.  This would count all things we put before God- Money included.  The Lord is a jealous God and we are to be obedient.  If God says we are to have no other gods then we would do well to listen. We are to put our faith in our Creator not in money or in any other object or being. We are to be following the 10 commandments as a starter,  but what does the first commandment actually mean really?
I don't worship Buddha or have a Krishna statue or any other pagan deity in my living room, but does that mean that you are correctly holding to the first commandment?

First what is considered 'pagan' and what is considered 'holy'?  Pagan would be anything that is not of God's ways directly and takes you in a path away from God either toward another false deity or altogether in more of an atheist path. Holy would be anything "of God"  If we look back in scripture to the days the Lord considers "Holy Days" are we honouring these days God speaks of? He gives very specific instructions as to the days we are to honour in his name, but do we recognize them as a society?  Do we instead celebrate  pagan rituals such as Easter and Christmas which are not mentioned anywhere in the Bible and is not of Gods instruction? What most don't realize, by celebrating these holidays you are actually paying homage to another deity or more correctly Fallen angel(demon(s) and blatantly disobeying Gods instructions.  This exactly constitutes  'worshipping other Gods' which is the very thing he tells us not to do.

1st Exercise:  Rid the home of any ritual pagan symbolism. Get rid of all Christmas Easter Halloween decorations. All pagan holiday items to be removed and destroyed. For obvious reasons if its pagan for you and your family you should not be giving it away to anyone else to use. That would effectively be encouraging this holiday.

2. Go through a life cleaning as to family/individual thoughts toward Money OR ANYTHING CAUSING STRIFE IN THE HOME...video games,facebook, television. Anything that keeps you from spending time with God and your family. Don't let these things cause a wedge in the family and give them no power.  
Most families fight in times of financial stress. I know I've been there too. This will only worsen the situation. Jesus tells us to have faith and follow him no matter what. We should have the "We wont be shaken" mentality.  As families these are the times we need to pull closer together not be torn apart. We can accomplish much more together than we can apart and  the tough times coming up financially are going to be a testament to that. The families that work together with each others and the communities interest at heart will be the ones who succeed in this type of world.

The Creator, The God of Israel made all that exists.  Only the Creator has the power to be God, looking to anyone or anything else is a dead end journey.  This includes anything you think is 'more important' than worship right now. "Being brought out of slavery and bondage" doesn't just mean the Israelites out of Egypt but also our own struggles on a daily basis with evil and dark forces.  It promises the release of slavery of sin. Moses was the physical deliverer of the physical Israelites and Jesus is the spiritual deliverer of the spiritual Israelites.

To be a true believer or "Israelite" however one would have to first submit to and obey our Creators demands in exchange for the grace given by his covenants. If we continue to hold up to our end of the bargain just as the tribes of Israel did then should we be confused when we hear the story of them having to wander the desert for 40 years for disobedience ? And if they were made to wander the desert for 40 years what does he have planned for our generation for disobedience keeping in mind the other signs?
The first step is to start doing the correct thing by obeying his word. We as a family are starting with the 10 commandments and making sure we have them right....what about you and your family...Won't you join us? ;)

The next blog with cover the 2nd commandment and steps to take to be on board with Gods plan, the way we should be- not what we have been tricked to believe ;)

GOD BLESS XOXOXOXOX

Using the Good Book

Todays blog is on the topic of life lessons that God wants us to know. Some of these you will notice teach us how to be good people, good wives, good husbands and good sons.
 Let`s first start with marriage altogether
It is true that God has scripture in the Bible that says that it is better for man not to marry or ever have sexual relations but if we must it is not a sin. 1Corinthians 7:2-5 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
² Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
³ Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
⁴ The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
⁵ Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
God also says that he wants us to marry one person and stay with that person until death due you part  
Mark 10:6-9
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
⁷ For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
⁸ And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
⁹ What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Although we like to throw our own understanding into the Bible God is very clear in this area. Women are allowed to remarry in the case of death as well. 1Corinthians 7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Provisions for divorce are included in the Bible as well but Jesus later says the only two valid reasons for divorce is infidelity and abuse. Marriage was meant to be until death and God very much feels this way still. We should be able to work through our problems together. If you divorce for any other reason you are not to remarry or you are then guilty of adultery.  If you are in this position you may not have known that this was a sin. In this case it would be the same as anything else. You would be required to repent of your ignorance of Gods laws and ask for forgiveness to which it will be given ;) God is very forgiving and no matter what your sin his grace offers redemption from them.

Harmony at home is one of the greatest blessings in life.  Proverbs 17:1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.The number one problem in marriages and families is strife.

What makes a good wife according to God. Here are a few scriptures on this topic.

A GOOD WIFE
Proverbs 31:10-31  "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
¹¹ The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
¹² She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
¹³ She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
¹⁴ She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
¹⁵ She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
¹⁶ She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
¹⁷ She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
¹⁸ She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
¹⁹ She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
²⁰ She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
²¹ She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
²² She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple."

Because it was Eve that was deceived in the Garden of Eden , the man is to make the final decision, but the decisions are to be made together as a family.  1Timothy 2:11-14   Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
¹² But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression
 This of course using rationale and scripture means specifically that because women may use their heart and be easily led astray the man of the home AFTER MUTUAL DISCUSSIONS with the wife would make a final decision that is best for the family as a whole.  He is to be the Man of the Home and women are to accept that duty of in their husband.

Proverbs 11:16 A gracious woman retaineth honour

Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

Proverbs 12:4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Proverbs 14:1  Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.



Ephesians 5:22   Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
It needs to be noted so not to be confused other scripture follows with the specific instruction from God that we are to submit to one another in a marital relationship, not just the wife submitting as some denominations perceive the Bible to read.


 Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Submitting to one another out of the reverence to Christ. It is not to be one sided where the woman does everything the man says and there is no give and take.  Its a very two way street but the premise is to treat your spouse better than yourself but still an equal in decision making. If we are honest, despite this new Girl Power movement that seems to have gotten out of control, women really are a weaker species physically FOR THE MOST PART. I am aware that some women are larger than men and could perform some of these physical jobs and tasks and by all means...you go girl, but if we need to change test standards etc then maybe that job isnt a "male,female" job persay..... MAYBE its just a physical job that requires more power and strength to complete. If women could adequately perform in the same time limit the same tasks then they should qualify however if not....maybe a different career should be in the works is all Im sayin instead of playing politics.  ;)


Bible scripture on how to be GOOD HUSBANDS 
 Husbands be understanding with your wife.  Show honour to her as the weaker partner as wives are the grace of life so that prayers may not be hindered.  1Peter 3:7  Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Ephesians 5:23-29 
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
²⁴ Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
²⁶ That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
²⁷ That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
²⁸ So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
²⁹ For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

Ephesians 5:33  Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

1Corinthians 11:3  But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
²⁶ I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
²⁷ Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
²⁸ But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
²⁹ But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
³⁰ And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

The Bible talks about how to be A GOOD SON 
Proverbs 13 
A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
² A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
³ He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
⁴ The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
⁵ A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
⁶ Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
⁷ There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
⁸ The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
⁹ The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
¹⁰ Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
¹¹ Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
¹² Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
¹³ Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be 

Proverbs 17:25  A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

Proverbs 19:26  He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

And just in general God gives us specific instructions on how to be a better person all round:
Genesis 1:28 He tells us to be fruitful and multiply.  The global government would have you believe that we have too large of a population to sustain our lifestyle claiming shortage of food and why many are starving. In actuality people are starving because of Greed, nothing to do with food not being available. The sad reality of it is that the food is only available to some and that is WRONG

We are to listen far more than we speak. James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:  Slow down in conflict situations. Avoid speaking and listen this will help to contain your reaction

 When we speak we are to use only uplifting words not words that hurt. Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones  and James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Set up a swear jar -Every penny represents a swear word in order to help you to stop

 Titus 2:1-15
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
² That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
³ The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
⁴ That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
⁵ To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
⁶ Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
⁷ In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
⁸ Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
⁹ Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
¹⁰ Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
¹¹ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
¹² Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
¹³ Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
¹⁵ These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

These are just a few scriptures that help us to live the way our Creator intended. There are many many more.   My wish is that this may help each one of us to live a little differently starting today :)
GOD BLESS XOXOXOXO

Demons are very real

Demons are referred to in the Bible various times and throughout many books but for whatever reason, not very many religious denominations want to be truthful in this area.  Pastors, Priests, Ministers alike all stand before their congregations and almost disregard the idea of fallen angels and demons altogether. The subject is either avoided or it is dismissed when questioned as being simply fantasy and not to be taken literally.

I can see how the average person would want to disregard this notion and put it to the back of their mind, if pondered at all, as the idea of demons lurking around scares the life out of them.

I understand that rationale, I don't agree but I understand; but what isn't easily explainable are leaders of denominational religions leaving out this very important information intentionally to deceive and most times profit from it.  If God mentions that there are demons and that Jesus cast demons out of people on numerous occasions as stated in scripture then why today do we not even give it a second thought or worse yet we rationalize it away with a fantasy accusation.  The Christian denominations specifically teach that Satan is the leader of evil and that simply put the only one you need to be cautious of. Some denominations go so far as to teach that if you are believer that you can never be attacked by a demonic force. This is a blatant lie. If Jesus can be attacked and tempted what makes us think we can’t? If you read the Bible and other texts such as Enoch, which remember was originally in the Bible before it was conveniently taken out, you will notice that many other demon  names are mentioned other than Satan. He is only one demon/fallen angel and we need to be aware of that.  Satan along with numerous other demons will gladly give us sex, money, power, fame, and fortune—as bait. Their goal is for us to take the bait without seeing the hook then they reel us in to take us as their captives.

Demons are the offspring of the fallen angels who mated with human women.  Many say that angels were not equipped to mate with human women as they didn't have physical bodies but rather were of spirit.

Spirits were not originally capable of  passion that is correct but some texts state that they asked God to endow them with human bodies like men so they might understand the human struggles and still come out to lead a righteous life. Their wish was granted, but with acquiring human flesh came the weaknesses of humans as well and so they became enchanted by women's beauty. Forgetting their original purpose, they were led astray by pride, lust, and selfishness that they ultimately brought their demise.  Again nothing in there that refutes anything from the Bible. Another piece that's been missing?

You may  recognize some of these names mentioned. We use them today in everyday language. This should make us question when we find out where the names come from originally.

1Enoch 15 says that "the giants(known as Watchers) born from spirit and flesh shall be called evil spirits upon earth"

Evil spirits which cause mental disturbances are mentioned in Biblical scripture

Judges 9:23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:  These scripture helps us to confirm that even the demons or the forces of darkness must still take orders from God.

1Kings 22:23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.

1Samuel 16:14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.

 18:10,And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.

 19:9 And the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.

They are also mentioned in other sacred texts including secrets of Enoch.

2Enoch also mentions a group of angels called the Grigori who are similar to the Watchers, but they follow their prince Satanail.  Hmmmm.....Sounds very similar to Satan. 

Is this the same angel they are referring to here or is this another angel altogether?

Lets take a look at some other biblical scripture:

Matthew

4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

9:32-33 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

10:1  And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

Mark

1:23  And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

3:11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

3:22-26 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

6:7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

And also in Mark 7:2, 9:17-25, 9:38, 16:9 16:17

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Demons tremble before God as seen in James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

John 7:20-21  The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

8:48-49 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

There are no shortages of demon references in the Bible.  I guess I just don't understand how one can claim to lead people by the words of God using HIS own Bible and then skip over the important real issues that HE would have wanted addressed.

In the End days it says it will be like the time of Noah??? What does that mean exactly? Let’s take a look at what was happening at time of Noah. There were giants in those days...., Fallen angels had mixed with bloodlines in an attempt to stop the coming Messiah, evil and sin was rampant so much so that God felt he had to destroy the earth and all life on it except for Noah and his family.  Where would you stand if this was the case? Would you be Noah or would the doors close on you and your family. Easy not to think of right now and to shelve it away but we have to always remember that if you aren't working for one side you are by default working for the other side and peoples eyes need to be opened to that.

List of some of the demons named according to Enoch.

You may also notice that some of the names that we have been told interchangeably describe Satan are actually another demon altogether. Lets take a look at Satan/ Lucifer...  are they the same demon?The Satanic bible claims that Lucifer is Satans elder brother.  Trust me I don't recommend reading or even researching that book at all. This is just something I came across from other research. And again its in the Satanic bible, how much of that is true? This part of the information would not refute the Bible at all though. It has been man that has taught the bible to man. So what we have been taught is not really what Im finding is inside the Bible itself.

Looking at this list one would assume these are individual demons not one demon.  That changes things exponentially in the grand scheme of what we have been told and what is really going on.

Well from an earlier blog we already know about the fallen angel Wormwood, but what about the others?

Moloch(Molech) - Demons worshipped through child sacrifice. This is the demon that is commonly referred to when discussing Illuminati rituals

According to the Satanic book.  I'm sorry didn't feel right spelling out the word “bible” next to Satanic.

There are the Seven Princes of Hell: They consist of

Crown Princes: Satan - Lord of Fire, Lucifer - Bringer of Light,  Leviathan - The Gate Keeper of Hell

  and Belial(Belphegore) - Mastery of the Earth.

Other high ranking demons include:Azazel, Mammon, Lilith and Apollyn(also known as Abaddon)

List of demons in the Bible 

Jesus had a conversation with a demon and asked its name, to which it replied “Legion.”  Luke 8:26

One of the key regional demons of the ancient Canaanites mentioned in the Old Testament was Baal. 

Baal is the god that the prophet Elijah humiliated at Mt. Carmel.  1Kings 18:21-39

So (King) Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God follow Him, but if Baal is God follow him” Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.”

If we refer back to the Bible, the Israelites were forbidden from marrying foreign women, knowing that they would bring pagan gods into Israel and lead them into false religions (1 Kings 11:2). In violation of Gods laws, Solomon had taken 700 wives and 300 concubines, many of them foreign. He permitted them to worship their own gods, even building idols on a hill east of Jerusalem. This angered the Lord and caused a civil war in Israel that resulted in the Kingdom being divided. After the death of Solomon, the Northern Kingdom, called Israel, which consisted of the land given to 10 of the 12 tribes, descended rapidly into idol worship. The smaller Southern Kingdom, called Judah which consisted of the remaining 2 tribes, remained faithful to God.  Eventually even the two remaining tribes fell away and even though the tribe of Judah remained the longest, they eventually turned away from God and started their own teachings. So much so they didn’t recognize the very Messiah they had been waiting for and eventually crucified him.

There are many others demons/false gods named in Scripture. Asherah (the mother goddess of Sidon and Tyre), Astarte (Baal’s sister, a goddess of war, love, storms, the evening star), Chemosh and Molech (infant-loving gods of Moab and Ammon) “Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven...ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them" (Acts 7:42-43) .  "But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves" (Amos 5:26).and Artemis of Ephesus, Paul encountered hostility in the city of Ephesus from those who worshipped an image which fell down from Jupiter” (Acts 19:35). From these verses, we can suppose that every false god has demonic (fallen angel) influence behind it. We also see the princes of Persia and Greece at spiritual war with the Lord’s angels in Daniel 10.

Humans are the only ones that have a hard time believing in Jesus. Even the demons believe that Jesus is the Son of God and should be revered.  They know that HE and Judgement Day are coming. Matthew 8:29 “And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? “Even though they don't follow him they KNOW HIM-who he truly is and they know to fear him.

We would do well to recognize some of the topics the fallen angels brought us and then rethink what we think is innocent. It may seem  innocent enough but in reality, is actually following another gods(fallen angel)teachings and in effect blaspheming and breaking the very first commandment THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME

The bottom line is this: when sinning is encouraged in any religion or spiritual practice, ANY SIN.... it is likely that evil demonic forces are at work empowering the leaders.  In Ephesians 6:12, Paul says “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

This was not just a quote to be dismissed. We NEED to remember that.

The Third Trumpet and Wormwood

If you have been following my blog then you already know we have addressed certain things that must happen before Jesus returns. Todays' focus is on  Revelation 8:10-11 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
¹¹ And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

We must be careful to pay close attention to what God is telling us in detail and not to add our own interpretation to this scripture.

Many, myself included initially thought this trumpet was automatically describing something that falls to the earth causing major destruction and devastation like an impact from a comet or meteor, but after a little more research what does scripture say in this area? It says it is a Great Star and it says "a third part of the waters become wormwood and the men died of the waters, because they were made bitter"   Does it mention any other kind of destruction in this scripture? If a physical star actually hit us would it cause an extinction level event?  It says only the waters are affected and many die from 'the waters and specifically only mentions a third of the waters become wormwood.  The entire planet would be affected in a situation of that magnitude. So what does happen at the third trumpet?

Could this be a biological or chemical terror attack concerning the water or is it simply because of the destruction caused on the earth due to a large body entering our solar system bringing with it objects falling from the sky, that the water is contaminated and undrinkable? 

We need to understand the Bible does speak of physical things coming from the sky that will impact the earth such as a giant mountain falling from the sky in the Second trumpet. This will more than likely be an asteroid or comet that hits the earth.  It also speaks of hail mingled with fire falling from the sky.... this describes further meteors it will bring with it.
There is much preparation going on right now by our governments.  "The third angel sounded and there fell a great star  from the heaven burning as if it were a lamp and it fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters".  The 4th trumpet speaks of how a 1/3 of the sun will be smitten and a 1/3 part of the moon and a 1/3 part of the stars so as a third of them was darkened and the day shone not for a third part of it and the night likewise"  

This makes much more sense when we realize that planet Nibiru is on the way and has been confirmed since 1987 when President Reagan was in office. Planet Nibiru is mentioned in historic writings. It has been written on sides of walls in temples, 25000 clay tablets were even  found in Sumeria dating back 4000 years. This planetary body will block out the sun just as the Bible says it will in the 4th trumpet.  It is 5 times the size of the earth. This planet has historical accounts of entering our solar system aprox every 3600 years- it also brings with it 3 or 4 of its own moons.  This will cause huge disruption on our planet and would account for Noahs flood in the past Biblical timeline.

In 1960's it was covered by magazines such as Readers Digest and Life magazine but when was confirmed in Reagans time it changed everything in the government. Since then they have made preparations and built bunkers with our money but most of us won't see the inside of these. These are saved only for the wealthy that can afford a seat.   Have you seen the movie 2012 or Deep Impact?  It is going to be exactly like that I am afraid except no public lottery.  They will instill martial law long before that in order to be able to make sure they enter their bunkers safely and without incident.  The rest will be locked up in camps they claim are for our protection while they hide underneath and in places like Norad mountain.  They have removed the missiles meant to protect us from invasion of foreign troops but they have been removed to be replaced with food, supplies, medical equipment etc for the rich elite.  There are131 active D.U.M.Bs or Deep Underground military bases in the United States.  and 1477 reported underground bunkers worldwide.

  The next closest date scheduled to flyby earth is March 26, 2016.  The weather up to this date will only going to get worse and worse.  I have been speaking of the 500 days of climate chaos that was announced by the French foreign minister last May. 


Here's an interesting question....what if Wormwood specifically is not a physical thing that will hit the earth?  What if I were tell you that in the Book of Enoch a list of the names of fallen angels is included; 
And that one of the names of the Fallen angels listed is named Wormwood.

Wormwood is the name of a fallen angel who bring plagues upon the earth. 
Wormwood is mentioned in other books outside the Book of Revelation as is not commonly known.
(Deuteronomy 29:18 Proverbs 5:4 ; Jeremiah 23:15 Lamentations 3:15, 19 Amos 5:7;
Jeremiah 9:13-15 talks of a plague foretold and this scripture talks of the waters becoming bitter. And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
¹⁴ But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
¹⁵ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

God often refers to the people as 'the waters' or 'the sea' throughout the Bible. If the scripture says that Wormwood will bitter the waters,  Is that a plague that the fallen angel Wormwood is bringing with him?  Is it a form of a plague that hardens mens' hearts and makes them bitter against each other?

Remember Gods words in relation to this matter. Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
³² And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

One thing that needs to be made clear is the fact that if we take a look at the bible many verses refer to angels as stars 
Isaiah 14:12-20 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!(Not to be confused with Morning Star which is the name for Yeshua) how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
¹³ For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
¹⁴ I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
¹⁵ Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
¹⁶ They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
¹⁷ That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
¹⁸ All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
¹⁹ But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
²⁰ Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

Daniel 8:9-10 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
¹⁰ And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Revelation 12:3-4 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
⁴ And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
In order to understand Scripture we need to understand what Yahweh means when he speaks to us through his word. He is clear that angels are sometimes referred to as stars and the host of heaven.
  ^{Judges 5:20}They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

As ministering spirits, angels carry out the commands of God pertaining to the heirs of salvation. This involves warning, guiding, protecting, comforting, providing, and delivering the children of God according to His perfect will.Psalm 34:7 "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them"   Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Lets refer back to the Bible where it states how Lucifer fell to earth. We need to remember that Lucifer was not a demon but rather an angel that fell.  The demons are a result of the mating of the fallen angels with human women resulting in the Nephelim children. When they were made to kill each other in front of their parents as punishment for the angels disobedience their disembodied souls were not allowed back into the heavenly realm as they were not an intended creation of Yahwehs. They were left to roam the earth. That is not what it says about Lucifer though.  It states that Lucifer was like lightening. Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
We all know what lightening looks like as we see it on a regular basis especially during storm seasons, but there is similarity between the description of these two events. Burning as a lamp could also imply the method of travel by which something comes to the earth not an actual  physical burning star that hits the earth causing huge destruction.

Lets take a look at another scripture reference that mentions another star that falls on earth. Revelation 9:1-11 clearly shows that it is not a physical star but a spiritual or more accurately described demonic presence that falls to earth. "And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
² And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
³ And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
⁴ And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
⁵ And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
⁶ And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
⁷ And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
⁸ And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
⁹ And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
¹⁰ And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
¹¹ And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.The name of the star falling from heaven is Abaddon the principalities/powers over the bottomless pit,  named in verse 11.
Abaddon - fallen angel of death whose name means "to destroy."
 This star or fallen angel is described in verses 3-10 as the Ruler of the locusts or demons that are mentioned in the 5th trumpet. These locusts will torment man without the seal of God in their foreheads for 5 months.

The Bible is very clear that Wormwood bitters the waters but does not say that many die as a result of an immediate impact or collision. This event appears to cause bittering of the waters but no mention of land destruction such is also described in the Book of Revelation as a situation that does move the mountains of their places,. I think it then becomes very clear that it is a demonic presence that is allowed to destroy the earth with a plague for a specified period of time, bringing with him bitterness among men. 
But that is just the third trumpet we are talking about here.  The final outcome of all of these trumpets and vial judgements and plagues will devastate the globe and kill a large amount of the population.  But we have to know how to read his warnings and not add our own interpretation. 

What do you think?
We do  have a poisonous plant called Wormwood which is often referred to as bitter. Some Bible references show it to be comparable to hemlock. Amos 6:12 in the King James version says Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock.  Wormwood has five species of shrubs or herbs found in Palestine (Post), any one of which may furnish a bitter taste. The name is derived from the property of many species acting as anthelmintics, while other varieties are used in the manufacture of absinthe.
