PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 2, 1981
PAGE 8
SATAN in God's Church, went on to ARGUE: "Notice the things mentioned. The
woman bathes.
She decorates herself with jewelry."
(This statement
OMITTED DELIBERATELY the EYE MAKE-UP!) "She sits on a couch before a spread
table, waiting for her lover." Then comes the SUBTLE QUESTION: "Are these
things wrong in themselves? No, not in the proper place and context--such
as marriage."
o, women of God's Church! Did you let that subtle TWIST mislead you,
as SATAN wanted to mislead you?
This passage is deliberately showing something wrong in BOTH ATTITUDE,
INTENTION, and MEANS OF DOING IT.
And here, in the BULLETIN of GOD'S
CHURCH, without my knowledge or approval, was printed a subtle and MIS
LEADING TWIST on GOD'S SACRED AND HOLY WORD! I did not know this was being
printed--BUT I APOLOGIZE BEFORE GOO FOR IT!
This passage DEFINITELY DOES SHOW EYE MAKE-UP, which is one part of
modern make-up, is WRONG IN GOD'S SIGHT! It shows an attitude unacceptable
to God!
Jeremiah 4:30:
Get the context:
Jeremiah sees a vision of DE
STRUCTION coming in our day as a result of our peoples' worldly SINS! It's
talking about things DESPISED by GOD! Speaking to OUR PEOPLE (nations)
today, God says: "And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though
thou clothest thyself with crimson •.•. " Crimson is a bright purplish-red
color, the same as scarlet. The RSV, the Moffatt, and the New International
Version all translate this word as "scarlet"--precisely the color of the
great whore of Revelation 17:4, decked out in purple and scarlet. Purple is
the color of royalty. Scarlet that of prostitution (see Webster's Dic
tionary).
Now proceed, quoting from Jeremiah 4:30: "Though thou deckest thee
with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain
shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek
thy life."
This passage shows modern Israel, before Christ's coming, in the
prophesied imminent captivity of our very people, using the methods of a
harlot, figuratively seeking to attract allies. The United States is doing
that. The recent Congressional battle over the sale of military weapons to
Saudi Arabia, in order to "buy• that country's support against Russia, is
an example. American wooing of Iran in the recent days of the Shah was
another example. And the result was precisely as this prophecy says--they
SEEK OUR LIFE!
It is using the illustration of the methods of a prostitute to make
ourselves attractive for our own purposes.
I't, DOES NOT SHOW GOD'S
APPROVAL, BUT THE VERY OPPOSITE!
Yet this LIBERAL misteaching said of this verse: "Is scarlet wrong?"
And also, "But is it the thing which is wrong--or only the wrong use?" This
Scripture was illustrating THE WRONG USE, and as women use it IN A WRONG
USE! If you have a cloth decoration in your home of green, or blue, or
scarlet, or pink, THAT IS NOT A WRONG USE! But the illustration of Jeremiah
4:30 is SHOWING A WRONG USE, and this "scholarly" analysis in the 1974
