"Are not my people today like those of old
who turned from their God to idols? Are they
not like Aaron who made a golden calf for the people
because their hearts were set to do that which they
desired? I say, my people in this day have also made
themselves idols of gold and silver, even that which
is the fruit of their desire. My people have sought
out those like Aaron who have listened to their
desires rather than hear my voice. For Aaron
represents the religious leaders of today who have
made idols for my people to worship. They have gone
after that which satisfies the lust of the eye and
the pride of life. They have erected that which is
pleasing to fleshly pride in that they have made
to themselves vast systems and organizations
which exalt the pride of man and give glory to the
works of man's hands. Therefore my indignation has
come up in my face and I am about to bring judgment
on the idolatrous systems of man. For Aaron has
submitted to the desires of the people and has led
them astray. Even so shall I cause Aaron and all his
idols to cease. For the day of my judgment is
near.
Was not Aaron among those called to my
holy mount to behold my glory? And were not Nadab
and Abihu his sons present also? And did they not
behold my glory with Moses and the seventy elders?
(Exodus 24:9-11). Even so does this picture that
which I brought about at the beginning of this age
when I poured out my Spirit. I caused my chosen ones
to behold me, to enter into the glories of my
presence and power, and to eat of the good things of
my Word and my covenant. But then the desires of the
flesh began to creep in, and the aspirations and
pride of life began to ferment, and shortly there
began a decline in the spiritual peak to which I had
brought those who were the recipients of my covenant
at Pentecost. After a period of time idolatry began
to take root in the hearts of the people, and they
clamored for that which was more tangible. Likewise
men who aspired to be something in the eyes of the
people began to come to the fore. The result was a
gradual turning away from the pure word and doctrine
of the apostles and the forming of the creeds and
doctrines of men. Following this came the actual
fulfillment of the apostasy of Aaron and the
idolatrous system of the Church-State
combination was formed. This is that golden
calf which was made by the priesthood to keep the
people in bondage to the spirit of Egypt and away
from the truth.
But the time came for judgment. Down from the
mount came my servant Moses. His very absence
accounted for the lapse of the people. For they
said, "We know not what has become of him." (Ex.
32:1). Even so does this portray the time when Jesus
was taken into the heavenly mountain to remain with
the Father. It was after his ascension that the
people lapsed into idolatry. It was during His
absence that the forces of evil took over. But true
to the pattern the Lord shall return to judge His
people. He is even now coming in Spirit to bring
recompense to His adversaries and to call a people
to Himself. Even now is He raising up those
who will wield the sword of judgment to bring
division in the camp. For without the ferment of
division that which I purpose cannot be
accomplished. Therefore into the religious
camps will I send those prepared to wield my sword
of judgment.
As Aaron pictures the religious idolatry of
this day, so have I patterned my Word to portray
that which shall take place following. Gathered
to me shall be those typified by the Levites
who stood with Moses at the gate of the camp. (Ex.
32:26). The Levites in this instance portray my
end-time Body which shall separate from the idolatry
of the people and stand with me in this last day.
And I will use them mightily says the
Lord."
