The chaos that has ensued from these so-called authorities has left a trail of
death and deception in its wake.
Satan has accomplished what he set out to do. The confusion (indistinguishable
mix) was complete, and the line separating true Christianity from Paganism was
virtually destroyed.
ìThe pagans were happy, the Christians were happy and
Christmas was born into the world.î 1
The land of Goshen
The LORD has always made a distinction between His people and the rest of
the world. In Old Testament times, He called Israel to be His peculiar people, His
chosen ones.
ìNow therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all
people: for all the earth is mine.î Exodus 19:5 (emphasis mine)
ìFor thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God; the
LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto
himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.î
Deuteronomy 7:6
As the LORD prepared to deliver His people from the bondage of slavery in the
land of Egypt, He made evident the separation between those that belonged to
the One True God and those that worshipped the sun god. He struck the land of
Egypt with ten plagues, each time defeating one of their false gods, but spared
His own from the effects of these judgments. The Israelites were protected and set
apart from their Egyptian taskmasters.
ìAnd I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my
people dwellÖAnd I will put a division between my people and
thy (pharaohs) peopleÖî Exodus 8:22, 23
But now, through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, being
physically born into the people of Israel is no longer a requirement for belonging to
God, or His people.
ìThere is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ
Jesus.î Galatians 3:28
