Exodus 20:7 “You must not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name.” Matthew 23: 13-14 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.”
You have heard this commandment all of your life. It has been presented to you as a warning against swearing, using my Name in anger or condemnation. While I do not want my Name used in such a way, a more fundamental meaning of this is being ignored. Any false doctrine presented to my children is misuse of my Name. Any twisting of my Word or my commands in order to personally benefit the speaker is misuse of my Name. Any use of my Words to lead others into sin, that is misuse of my Name. And that misuse of my Name will be severely punished. My Word is Truth. The Truth. It is Life. The only Life that matters. It is the way of salvation. Eternal, soul salvation. And when my Word, my Name, are twisted, misconstrued, misrepresented, presented as belonging to another – that denies Truth. It denies Life. It leads away from true salvation. And all who participate in such practices will stand before me, where there will be no defense. I am the Alpha and Omega. Beginning and End. Source of all. Creator of all. The One True God. I see all. I know all. I AM. Those who try to be me, who try to undermine me, who try to replace me – woe to you. Repent. Return to me. Return to the Truth. Or face my eternal wrath. As you have heard, it would be better to have a millstone around your neck than to participate in misleading my children in any way. Choose wisely, and choose quickly. Time is of the essence. Yours is running out. Do not be deceived. You will reap what you sow. Whom do you serve – the One True God, or a god you created that serves your purpose? What Truth do you believe? My Truth? Or a subjective truth created by you to make yourselves happy and justify your lifestyles? My Truth and your subjective truth cannot co-exist. Choose which you will serve, and stop calling your subjective truth by my Name. Stop representing me in such a way that makes it possible for you to do whatever you wish to stay comfortable, to earn wealth, to acquire power. I am not in any of that. My Truth is unchanging, uncomfortable, challenging and eternally right. Period. It is a straight path, a difficult path, a righteous path – the only path. Choose. Then stand by your choice and reap its rewards – whatever they may be.
