And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. Isaiah 4:1

When you realise that God speaks in parables to the people, then you will know that not everything necessarily in the Bible is fullfilled literally.

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Matt 13: 34 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. Mark 4:11-12 SO it is clear many will never understand these things, God designed it so.Only His predestinated children will see and know the Truth.

However, in this case, it was all written in symbols. Once you can by the scripture , know the meaning of the symbols, then you will know the meaning of that particular scripture in total. Its like dreams, which often come with symbolisms.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Eph 4:31-31


And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Rev 21:9

From the above two scriptures, we see that God sees His church as a woman, and Himself as the Man. So first point, the seven women, symbolise the myriads of churches who are laying claim to this one Man, which is Christ Jesus Himself. These churches say they would wear their own apparel, provide for themselves, eat their own bread but want to be called by the name of the Man, they want to be called Christians anyway.


And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: John 6:35

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: 1Peter 4:14

The Word of God is bread, so when they say they want to eat their own bread, they mean they want the freedom to formulate their own church doctrines in their Bible schools and seminaries even if they do not line up with the rest of the Bible, but they insist to have it so anyway, saying "this is how we do it in our church" forgetting that no man has the church, the church belongs to Christ.

When they say they want to wear their own apparel, they mean they do not want the God given covering and glory of the true baptism of the Holy Ghost, they are satisfied with a counterfeit that allows them speak publicly in un-Biblical tongues (which the hearer knows not the meaning, contrary to Biblical examples), allows them insist that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost, allows them justify all manner of madness (drinking oil, bursting pure water satchets, standing on people, bathing people's wives etc) under the pretext of being led by the Holy Ghost - forgetting that the Holy Ghost will always guide back to the Word of God; allows their women to paint their faces like Jezebel, pierce their bodies (ears and more) contrary to the Word of God, bleach their skins, fry their hair paint their fingernails like witches, expose their breast cleavages, display their bodies in provocative lying postures under the pretext of an un-Biblical "falling under the anointing".

It is a robbery of the rights of this Man who is not being allowed to provide for his wife. He therefore has no right to control or, correct or lead the wife. These churches want to do whatsoever they like, and don't want Christ to interfere with their money making schemes (gigantic never-ending building projects) or ventures while making merchandise of God's Word. They want to dress as they like , allow their women to go about in tight body hugging mini-skits, clothes, they want to wear men's garments (trousers). They want freedom for their men to hug other men's wives freely, they want freedom to divorce and remarry at will, they want freedom to bow before all types of images named after saints of old, they want freedom to teach whatsoever comes into the head of their General Overseer without recourse to the Bible, they want freedom of touchery all in the name of laying on of hands, they want freedom to ordain female pastors(sic) and deaconesses contrary to sound Bible doctrine, they want the freedom to interprete the Word of God anyway it soothes them, they want freedom to worship three Gods all in the name of a mysterious but erroneous trinity doctrine, they want freedom to baptise in the name of the Father , Son and Holy Ghost when no one was ever baptised like that in the Bible, they want freedom to suck the congregation dry of their finances through all kinds of egregious programmes and their boastful ambitions to be recognised in the world, they want to break homes and loving families with their satanic restitution doctrines- that a man or woman who married and divorced before they came to the knowledge of the Truth should break their existing marriages and go back to their first wife/husband even if she/he has already remarried, they want the freedom to brag about their righteousness by walking around barefoot, they want the freedom to rub shoulders with government officials for official recognition by wearing clergy collars and capes and mantles and carrying rods about.

They want to do these things and insist that Christ accepts them to His heaven as Christians when they die. The news is that it will not happen. Only those who have lived by the Word of God and are decorated by the true Spirit of God who makes them live a life guided exclusively by the Word of God will make it.

[/b]Of this type Jesus referred to when He said This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Matt 15:8-9[b]

That is the seven women claiming the name of Jesus, but living by the power and anointing of the devil. These are the same women that gang up against the Word of God by forming a World Council of Churches with individual national bodies. These are the same churches that are partnering once again with the Mother LovePeddler church to bring back the inquisition, where voices like this voice will be censored out, churches who call out these things will be proscribed from public discourse and gatherings; anyone who does not conform will be persecuted, jailed and even killed. The incoming new US government will be the arrowhead of this world wide move within a few weeks now. These are the churches that are Ichabod. These are the churches that will hear from Christ on that day "depart from me I never knew you".

If you heard the name of your church in the description above, be warned that Jesus said :" Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.Matt 15:14

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. I Cor 6:17-18

And...

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:38-39

You have attacked practically every church in Nigeria. Na which church you dey go abeg?

Its not about attacking churches, the question really should be "is this the Truth?". We can talk about the church I attend later..

Sorry. Maybe 'attacked' was the wrong word. What I mean is that I read the whole article and every church that I can think of right now is guilty of at least one of those sins imperfections. Should people stop going to church?

Not at all, you keep going wherever you are until you find a better one. Before long, with a sincere heart, you will eventually find one where all the scriptures are rightly balanced by the doctrine of God. There will still be imperfect humans there as with everywhere, only that this time it will not be a systemic fundamental doctrinal problem, but rather, the failings of individuals. Even the Lord Jesus had Judas in the church to fulfill the betrayal.

So , yes, your observation is correct, virtually all popular churches are one of these seven women.

Your message is right in that it tries to encourage the church to continue to be prepared for the coming of our Mighty God and saviour Jesus Christ.

But the part of the of the Scriptures Isaiah 4:1 that you quoted is talking about after the 'Rapture', this is evident when we read the whole chapter completely.

Isaiah 4:1
4 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

This context of this verse is post 'Rapture' and not pre 'Rapture'.

Possibly yes, but remember that the symbolism in scripture often makes for different implications depending on the point in time when it is read.

Yes, I believe this scripture applies pre and post rapture,
as it currently applies now, and will apply post rapture because during the tribulation, there will be some who would realise they have been left behind, but very very many would still go on going to church and carrying on believing the rapture yet to come. Just exactly as happened pre and post the first coming of Christ.
