The Fires of Molech

The Lord spoke to me (Rhonda) several years back (2002) and said …..”the medical profession has become a high place”. I could sense in my spirit a warning, and a broadness and depth to this short sentence He spoke. Immediately my mind went to all the medicine being dispensed by the medical doctors and abused by people…..mainly pain pills but other things as well. I have since realized that when God gives a person a word or a revelation it is usually ongoing and progressive. Only He can see the true future and what is coming and going to happen in that future. Hence, this article Jerry and I have written together to address this horrendous act recently reported in the news. It was an article describing the burning of the bodies of aborted babies as ‘bio-mass’ (fuel source) in a furnace-like appliance that heats the hospital where some of the abortions took place. This ‘waste-to-energy’ program currently exists and was recently revealed in the United Kingdom ( UK ). Although unapproved and supposedly stopped upon revelation, it seems this practice has gone on for some time. Here’s the link for those interested in the full story – http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/10717566/Aborted-babies-incinerated-to-heat-UK-hospitals.html
It should be easy to find a connection between this article and the ‘fires of Molech’ spoken of in Leviticus 18:21 and following. But there is a deeper meaning here we want to uncover. There is a connection between all of this and the push for the ‘panacea’ of universal health care with the so-called ‘affordable care act,’ and elevating of the field, the science and the art of medicine to the point of being a ‘high place’ in the face of our God. The trademark or symbol representing all of this? A snake on a pole.

First, let’s take a look at the passages in Leviticus 18. Smack dab in the middle of the passages dealing with improper sexual relations is a passage speaking of ‘passing children through the fire of molech’. Keep in mind fornication, adultery and sexual perversions are physical images of idolatry which is also spiritual adultery and fornication – having multiple recipients of our love, adoration and worship. Molech is the title given to a ‘god’ worshiped by the Ammonites and inhabitants of Phoenicia at the time of the Israeli exodus from Egypt. ‘Molech’, as a title, literally means ‘king’ and comes from the Hebrew word ‘ to be ruler or to rule or reign over’. ‘Molech’ then, by extension, is any ‘god’, entity, practice or mindset that would rule or hold sway over us and take us away from the ways of our Heavenly Father, especially in regards to our children. One thing for sure, there is a thread that runs through all of Scripture – Father God has a special place in His heart for the little ones. Therefore YHWH, the GOD of the Bible, instructs His people not to be involved in this practice or with this ‘god’ of appeasement, convenience and expediency. ( see the posting “The Last Straw” ) . Although the passage (Lev. 18:21) does not actually exhibit the word ‘fire’, it does use the word ‘abar’, which in the Hebrew means ‘to pass over or through to’ molech. The picture here is to literally hand over our offspring to something that would take them down a path that not only is away from the One True God but would ultimately do damage to the child. So what does this have to do with the medical field and ‘obamacare’? Just hang in there with us a little longer.

Ever seen this symbol before ? Sure you have; at the drug store, at the clinic, the doctor’s office, the hospital. It is the symbol that goes hand in hand with the Hippocratic Oath, ( Hippocrates being recognized as the ‘father of medicine’ ) the oath of service taken by doctors and medical practitioners. What is the origin of this symbol? What is this founded in, or maybe the question should be…..what is the root of modern day medicine and the symbol representing it? It is the ‘Rod of Asclepius’, the staff of the greek god of medicine. The rod, along with the oath, have both evolved down through the years. The original oath (root) began with the following words . . . “ I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement: . . .” And later the oath makes this covenant – “I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.” And the original rod ? Well it looked more like this . . . a snake on a pole.

We have all seen a modern version of the image (in the Doctors office, etc.) So what about the modern version of the oath ? As we process these progressive revisions, we must understand just as our Heavenly Father teaches and leads us through ‘progressive revelation’ , the enemy employs the same method in his counterfeiting (in this instance…..the snake on the pole). He doesn’t tell us everything he has planned up front. Here are just two glaring revisions of the original ‘oath’. One, they have removed the reference to the ‘gods’, And secondly, they removed the prohibition against deadly medicine and abortion. Interesting . . . obviously, direct references to ‘other gods’ would be offensive to some and a strong stance against abortion would offend many others. So now we have two snakes on a pole being represented. One given by the Father to his children for their salvation (which in Hebrew is Yeshua) and the other one coming out of the wisdom of man (his own mind) which was first chosen in the garden by Adam and Eve. They were convinced, by satan (the serpent) that eating of the fruit would bring wisdom (Gen. 3:6) and was good for food.
So where is all this going ? Father God is our healer. (Exodus 15:26, Psalm 103:3) And the snake on the pole ? John 3: 14 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 “that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” Our adversary is all about counterfeiting. And he normally uses us to do it. It is no coincidence that satan has taken an image that represents the ultimate gift from our Father (Yeshua) and has turned it into an idolatrous symbol of something we, as a people, have exalted to a high place – a bama. And that ‘something’ we have exalted? The field of medicine. It has literally become a ‘high place’ in our society where we go to offer our children up (abortions) at the altar of and with the blessing (the other gods mentioned above) of the medical profession, which is the counterfeit snake on the pole. How can we expect anything else besides what we are seeing when the root is founded in the gods and not in the one true God whose name is Yahweh. And he sent his son Yeshua to save us by hanging on that pole to take our sins, diseases and to give life… not take it as in abortions and the counterfeit snake on the pole. Psalms 103 : 2-3 says “Praise the Lord, O my Soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases”,…. So He provides for us total healing (Sozo), In the new testament (Brit Hadashah) the greek word for saved is…. 4982 sw,|zw sozo {sode’-zo}
Meaning: 1) to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction 1a) one (from injury or peril) 1a1) to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health 1b1) to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue 1b) to save in the technical biblical sense 1b1) negatively 1b1a) to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment 1b1b) to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance . . .

In the days of Joseph as ruler in all Egypt, things became so bad the people had to seek aid for sustenance and survival. They turned to the state. GOD orchestrated all this to not only deliver His people but to judge those who would oppress His people and turn to the worship of gods that are NOT gods. We are in those days again and Father God wants His people to turn to Him and seek Him for provision and protection during these trying days. Since the introduction of wholesale abortion on demand ( innocent blood ) and now our obvious stance against Israel, we are experiencing the beginnings of God’s judgment on the nations. Many in the world ( and many in the church ) will turn to the rulers and the governments to provide rather than turn first to the one true God.

Let’s be honest. If most of us were as patient with GOD as we are with the doctors things might be much different. And look, Rhonda and I, we go to the doctors. That’s not the point. Where is our first and final trust placed ? We go to the doc, get a pill or a shot, give him money, go home, it doesn’t ‘work’, and we go back and repeat the cycle over and over and . . . well, you get the point. We go to GOD, ( usually after we have exhausted all other avenues ) we pray, nothing seems to work, and many times that’s where we stop . . . or we head to the doctor. There are really good God-fearing folks serving as doctors and nurses, trying sincerely to walk their faith and help people in their time need. The problem is we have now turned this field of science into a ‘high hill’ and ‘high place’. And in the process of accepting the wholesale killing of babies and accepting sexual practices that God abhors and turning our back on His Land and His Word and His ways, we have misplaced our respect for the sanctity of life and the loss thereof, misplaced our moral absolutes, and now we find ourselves in a place where everything is relative and we can even justify the burning of bodies of aborted babies as so much rubbish to heat a building.

But that’s in the UK, over there, not here. Well hold on, it’s coming. Just give it time. We now have a national socialized system of medicine run by the state to whom we all must go and the ‘Church’ stood by and let it happen without a whimper. This system will ultimately determine who receives treatment and who does not . . . who lives and who dies ? Something like the ‘waste-to-energy’ program will eventually be easy to sell and be acceptable and justifiable. The end justifies the means, doesn’t it ?

So we have shown God we don’t need Him, even to the extent we openly disobey Him. What does Father God do ? He says OK, that’s what you want ? That’s what you get. So here we are. We’ve arrived. We are at a place that 50 years ago most would have said we would never be. We would never allow these things or take these positions. Well, guess what. Be careful saying ‘never’, for HERE WE ARE. We now have a national policy accepting and promoting and enforcing (law of the land) abortion and homosexuality, and now a ‘health’ plan that is touted as the panacea and answer to all our problems – the bama ( Hebrew word for ‘high place’ ) . ‘Obamacare’ could not be a more accurate title. ‘Obamacare’ – care from the high place . In the background right now while we are writing, the song ‘The Great I Am” is playing. . . and these words keeps racing through my mind . . . ‘RUN . . . FLEE . . . FLEE THE HIGH PLACES . . . FLEE THE FIRES OF MOLECH . . . FOR OUR CHILDREN’S SAKE . . . RUN TO OUR FATHER, THE GREAT STRONG TOWER . . . HE WILL PROTECT IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE . . . BUT ONLY IF WE ARE IN HIM AND WALKING CIRCUMSPECTLY BEFORE HIM.

Shalom – Rhonda & Jerry . . . As a side note……we are NOT saying everything to do with the medical profession is bad OR that we should not go to the doctor. We just need to be aware of where this is going and why……only the Father knows the full extent and what the end of all this will be.
