Of God’s Coming Acts 2 FLUSH of His Mighty, Purifying, Cleansing Wind, Which Would Be Ongoing and Purify What Ought to Be Recognized as “God’s Ministry Houses” (Not Ours)

This leader was written and posted as an article out September 2019, prior to COVID. I also posted a second leader word December of 2020 of “The Demas-ization of America,” and if you recall, ministries were all closed March 2020.

Trust me: The Firmly Set In Continuing Enormous Subculture of “Religious” Beliefs is more interested in the gift, their talent, their turf, their ownership of the many… plus their entertainment and their mega, micro many blessings, income, than the First Church-abiding Holy Fear of the Lord, also love of the everyday walk of life—normal, diverse humans: aliens, strangers, female, male expats, and walking-it-out angels…mostly? “atypical humans.”

And when that happened, I was in DFW and saw God’s reasons for what I called “God rebooting (also HIS) Churches.” However, that was before this last period, and I sense that merchandising, showbiz, ambition, and false authority, use of controlling (high style) witchcraft and adulterous psychic/occult influences—rather than the pure accepting including Holy Spirit—are still allowed to exist for creature comforts in most, if not all, of these same, similar ill-report houses.

Note:
This year, in late January 2025 to early this  March2025, I was given the  (recurring) impression that God is about to move AGAIN and that HE WILL AGAIN FLUSH OUT HIS CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES and that it WOULD ALSO BE ONGOING (plus it will take ALL of us, to handle This Move)…Thus: we all need to lower ourselves, repent, and adjust to what His Spirit wants us to do , to behave and to “easily entreated’ to ALL Human Relate.

YOUR AND MY L.P.V.
Human Carnal Heart Condition: LUST, PRIDE, VANITY

“For all have fallen short of God’s Glory.” But may we leaders begin again.

NOTE: this word LPV (below) was first posted www.randomsaltandselahs.wordpress January 2014. It is for the Body of Christ.Ones who chose HIM but ones who must choose to live FOR Him, each and every single day..This writer being included in that.

 

ONGOING PURPOSE:
To de-frag Puritan Mindsets -(“shame based and scolding”) which usually are easily horrified, emotionally unhealthy, diatribing and berating, prone to gossip, incessant targeting, vilifying, rumor mongering, also On Social Media. and very locally …also, . knee jerk reaction Bible stomping! (Meaning? really weak, naive, emotionally immature also     un- Christlike also “untrustworthy” (See Pauline 2 Timothy 3:1-6 Galatians 6:1)

Seek the Lord about “His Methodology” and “Tone”

Q. What is the meaning of Cross Body Unity, Sr Pastor Taveau D’Arcy’s  Ministry Equipping Vocabulary Term: LPV

Officially I, we define LPV as the basic human carnal condition after the Fall in Genesis 3—

Lust, Pride, and Vanity.

This condition is common across all races, genders, and global people groups. I submit, as a ministry Selah to the Christian body, that each and every one of us is “prone” to carry these tendencies, to play with them, and at times, allow them to try to master us in one way or another. They manifest in varying degrees, whether outwardly or inwardly, and can lead to addictions and behaviors that are easily discerned or more hidden.

I teach this concept to unify, to  defrag unjust accusation  from from persons, ministry land legalism, also “fear,” sin consciousness and the many squeamy “Puritan like” (fear based, naive, religious, weak holier than thou) unjust accusations…plus  the traditional religious spirit that often leads to Bible-thumping, witch-hunting, and more.

Each and every one of us is prone to LPV. However, by turning to Christ, accepting His help to self-govern, and watching over these tendencies, the born-again Christian—whether in leadership or as a layperson—will not bury these tendencies in secret shame, flaunt them in public, or display self-righteous pride in a Pharisaical manner.

For pride is perceived, not just from up close, but also from a distance, as Psalm 123 illustrates.

Note that this person is always turning to the Lord for ongoing help, seeking Christ’s guidance to oversee and manage their own mortal tendencies toward Lust, Pride, and Vanity.

The Root Core appears to be  Pride

PRIDE
People Might Perceiver “See” Our Superior Pride

In Psalm 123:3-4 (KJV), the psalmist expresses a deep awareness of the pride and oppression from others, particularly those in positions of authority. Here are the verses:

Psalm 123:3-4 (KJV)
“Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us:

for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease,

and with the contempt of the proud.”

Our Arrogant Pride

Inward Discernment of Superior Pride

In these verses, the psalmist describes how their (his, your, my, all of their) soul is “exceedingly filled with contempt” due to the pride and scorning of those who are “at ease” and “proud.” The psalmist’s inward discernment reveals how they feel oppressed by those who hold positions of superiority and take advantage of their position to look down upon others. These individuals are described as living in ease, showing no concern for the suffering of others, and displaying a sense of superiority that causes contempt toward those beneath them.

This can be understood as a recognition of superior pride—the kind of pride that arises from a position of power or privilege, where the prideful individual perceives themselves as above others, perhaps even beyond reproach. The psalmist, in contrast, acknowledges the painful effects of this pride on their soul, feeling the weight of the scorn and disdain from those who live without empathy or humility.

Key points of discernment:

• The psalmist is deeply aware of the internal effects of prideful, superior individuals who oppress others, which is evident in the language of “exceedingly filled with contempt.”

• This pride is inwardly felt not only by the psalmist but affects their spirit, showing how pride from others can manifest as emotional and spiritual distress.

• The contrast is drawn between those who are at ease (comfortable in their pride and power) and the psalmist, who is calling for God’s mercy to overcome this scorn and oppression.

In this passage, the psalmist’s discernment of pride isn’t just intellectual but deeply emotional and spiritual. The psalmist is not only recognizing the pride from others but is also experiencing the effects of that pride, calling for God’s mercy and relief from the scorn they endure.

Point: Carnal Pride reproduces Leader, Follower, Person Accusation

“The mouth speaks what the heart is full of…” Luke 6:45

Gossip, accusation, and backbiting all stem from what fills the heart. As Luke 6:45 (KJV) states:

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”

When someone is consumed by LPV—Lust, Pride, and Vanity, their heart becomes a breeding ground for false witness, gossip, and accusations:

• Lust fuels envy and covetousness, leading to slander against those who have what one desires.

• Pride fosters a superiority complex, driving someone to tear others down to elevate themselves.

• Vanity causes obsession with appearances, leading to judgment, gossip, and false accusations to protect one’s own image.

Word Curses, Leader Accusing Pharisees

A Pharisaical, accusatory spirit is often a cover for deep insecurity—tearing others down to feel built up. But Jesus warns that our words expose the condition of our hearts, and idle, reckless speech brings accountability before God (Matthew 12:36-37).

Thus, a mouth filled with gossip and accusation reflects a heart not governed by Christ but by self-importance, fear, and unchecked LPV.

A spirit of false witness and pride fosters a willingness to gossip and accuse, often reflecting a Pharisaical mindset. This behavior is frequently rooted in low self-esteem, which in turn stems from LPV—Lust, Pride, and Vanity.

• Lust – A craving for status, possessions, or control over others (including FOMO—fear of missing out).

• Pride – A sense of superiority or inferiority, leading to self-righteous judgment.

• Vanity – A senseless preoccupation with one’s image or perceived importance.

This toxic combination fuels gossip, false accusations, and divisive leadership, all of which stand in contrast to Christ’s teachings of humility, truth, and love.

 

LPV Original Bible Study

LUST PRIDE VANITY  UNHEALTHY ROOTS

What follows is a reflection by this author.

LPV Ministry Point’:

God’s Love and Human Persons and Making Real (Needing) Money (the ongoing relationship with money, making money, having money, not having all you feel you need) is a huge trigger LPV followed by HUGE ACCUSATION

The Extreme Warfare of LPV (Lust, Pride, Vanity)

Is Vanity One of the First Steps Toward Inhumanity?

Overview & Preface

The Apostle Paul writes to the Philippians:

“To write this to you for me is not grievous, but for you, it is safe. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.”
— Philippians 3:1-3

Paul then recounts his testimony, describing his former achievements and how he ultimately considered them worthless compared to knowing Christ:

“I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ… I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.”
— Philippians 3:8

Later, he warns with deep sorrow:

“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”
— Philippians 3:18-19

Surely, these conditions remain the same for many in pioneering, home-based, ministry, and business leadership today.

LPV Pitfalls

Lust

2 Peter 1:4 (KJV) Explained in Depth

Verse (KJV):
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

This verse is packed with theological meaning, and we will break it down word by word with Greek analysis and a biblical context.

1. Key Greek Words and Meaning

The New Testament was originally written in Greek, so we will analyze the Greek words for deeper understanding.

1. “Whereby” (δι’ ὧν | di hōn)

   • This phrase means “through which” or “because of these.”

   • It refers back to 2 Peter 1:3, which speaks about God’s divine power giving believers everything needed for life and godliness.

2. “Are given” (δεδώρηται | dedōrētai)

   • This verb is in the perfect tense, meaning it describes a completed action with ongoing effects.

   • It comes from doreomai (δωρέομαι), meaning “to grant or bestow freely.”

   • This indicates that God’s promises were given in the past but continue to have power in the present.

3. “Exceeding great” (μέγιστα | megista)

   • This is the superlative form of megas (μέγας), meaning the greatest, most magnificent, or highest in rank.

   • The promises given are not just good, but the greatest possible promises.

4. “Precious” (τίμια | timia)

   • Comes from timios (τίμιος), meaning valuable, honored, highly esteemed.

   • This word is often used for costly things, such as gold or rare treasures.

5. “Promises” (ἐπαγγέλματα | epangelmata)

   • From epangelia (ἐπαγγελία), meaning a public proclamation, pledge, or divine assurance.

   • These are not just casual promises but binding declarations from God Himself.

6. “That by these” (ἵνα διὰ τούτων | hina dia toutōn)

   • Hina (ἵνα) is a purpose clause, meaning “so that” or “in order that.”

   • Dia toutōn (διὰ τούτων) means “through these (promises).”

   • God’s promises have a specific purpose: enabling believers to partake in divine nature.

7. “Ye might be partakers” (γένησθε κοινωνοὶ | genēsthe koinōnoi)

   • Genēsthe (γένησθε) is aorist subjunctive, meaning a one-time event with ongoing results.

   • Koinōnoi (κοινωνοὶ) means “sharers, participants, or partners.”

   • This implies that believers are not just observers but active participants in God’s divine nature.

8. “Of the divine nature” (θείας φύσεως | theias physeōs)

   • Theias (θείας) means “divine, God-like, belonging to God.”

   • Physeōs (φύσεως) means “nature, essence, inborn character.”

   • This phrase indicates that believers receive a transformed nature that reflects God’s character.

9. “Having escaped” (ἀποφυγόντες | apophygontes)

   • Apophygontes (ἀποφυγόντες) means “to flee away, to escape from captivity.”

   • The verb is in the aorist active participle, showing a decisive action that happened in the past but has lasting effects.

   • Believers have escaped from something enslaving—sin and corruption.

10. “The corruption” (τῆς ἐν κόσμῳ φθορᾶς | tēs en kosmō phthoras)

    • Phthoras (φθορᾶς) means “decay, destruction, moral corruption, rottenness.”

    • This word is used for organic decay, like rotting flesh or a decomposing body.

    • Human nature, apart from God, is subject to decay and moral breakdown.

11. “That is in the world” (τῆς ἐν κόσμῳ | tēs en kosmō)

    • Kosmos (κόσμος) here refers to the fallen world system, influenced by sin.

    • The corruption is not just in individuals but embedded in the entire world order.

12. “Through lust” (ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ | en epithymia)

    • Epithymia (ἐπιθυμία) means “strong desire, craving, longing, especially for what is forbidden.”

    • It refers to sinful passion that leads people away from God’s will.

 Old Testament and Hebrew Concept : Lust and Christ’s Saving Help

Though this verse is in Greek, the Hebrew concept of corruption ties back to the Old Testament:

• Psalm 16:10 (KJV) – “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

  • The Hebrew word for corruption is shachath (שָׁחַת), meaning pit, destruction, decay.

  • This prophecy about Christ hints that corruption is the natural fate of fallen humanity, but Jesus overcame it.

• Genesis 6:11-12 (KJV) – “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.”

  • The word shachath is also used here, showing that sin leads to total societal and personal corruption.

Conclusion New Testament

2 Peter 1:4 teaches that human nature, apart from God, is decaying and morally corrupt, like organic matter breaking down. However, through Christ’s promises, believers escape this fate and partake in the divine nature—a transformation that makes them like God in character and holiness.

 Theological Significance

This verse teaches several profound theological truths:

1. The Contrast Between Corruption and Divine Nature

   • Human nature is naturally corrupt and decaying, just like organic matter rotting over time.

   • However, through God’s promises, believers can escape this and take on a new, incorruptible nature.

2. Corruption is Tied to Lust

   • The root cause of corruption is lust—a strong craving for things that oppose God’s will.

   • This aligns with James 1:14-15, which says that lust leads to sin, and sin brings death.

3. Transformation Through God’s Promises

   • The verse implies that spiritual transformation comes through trusting God’s promises.

   • This is similar to Romans 12:2, which speaks of being transformed by the renewing of the mind.

4. Participation in Divine Nature is a Real Change

   • The Greek word koinōnoi (partakers) suggests actual transformation, not just symbolic association.

   • This means believers do not just imitate God—they receive His character through the Holy Spirit.

5. The “Escape” is a Past Event with Ongoing Effects

   • The verb apophygontes (having escaped) shows that this isn’t just a process but a decisive break from corruption.

   • This aligns with Colossians 1:13, which says believers have been delivered from the power of darkness.

Lust, Pride, and Vanity

Focus On Pride

A Deep Word Study on Pride & Vanity in the Old and New Testaments (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek)

Pride and vanity are significant themes in the Bible, often associated with sin, rebellion, and the downfall of individuals and nations. Let’s analyze the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words used for these concepts in both the Old and New Testaments.

I. PRIDE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT (HEBREW & ARAMAIC)

In Hebrew, multiple words convey the idea of pride, arrogance, or self-exaltation.

1. גָּאוֹן (gaʾōn) – Loftiness, Arrogance, Majesty

• Root: גָּאָה (gaʾah) – “to rise, to be exalted, to swell.”

• Meaning: This word can mean majesty or honor when referring to God, but arrogance or haughtiness when describing sinful human pride.

Examples:

1. Proverbs 16:18 – “Pride (גָּאוֹן) goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

   • Here, gaʾōn refers to an inflated sense of self, leading to ruin.

2. Isaiah 2:12 – “For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud (גָּאוֹן) and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low.”

2. זָדוֹן (zāḏôn) – Insolence, Presumption, Pride

• Root: זִיד (zid) – “to act arrogantly, to boil over.”

• Meaning: Pride that leads to presumption, reckless boldness, and rebellion.

Examples:

1. Deuteronomy 17:12 – “And the man that will do presumptuously (זָדוֹן), and will not hearken unto the priest… even that man shall die.”

   • Zāḏôn describes an arrogant refusal to submit to God’s authority.

2. Psalm 19:13 – “Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous (זָדוֹן) sins; let them not have dominion over me.”

   • The idea is prideful defiance of God’s law.

3. גָּבַהּ (gāḇah) – Loftiness, Haughtiness

• Root: גָּבַהּ (gāḇah) – “to be high, exalted, lifted up.”

• Meaning: Pride expressed in an exalted view of oneself.

Examples:

1. Proverbs 21:4 – “An high (גָּבַהּ) look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.”

2. Isaiah 10:12 – “I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high (גָּבַהּ) looks.”

4. רוּם (rūm) – Self-Exaltation, Arrogance

• Meaning: Pride that lifts itself up above others.

• Can be used positively when referring to God’s exaltation.

Examples:

1. Psalm 131:1 – “LORD, my heart is not haughty (רוּם), nor mine eyes lofty.”

2. Ezekiel 16:50 – “And they were haughty (רוּם), and committed abomination before me.”

   • Used for Sodom’s pride before its destruction.

II. PRIDE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (GREEK)

1. ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania) – Overbearing Pride, Arrogance

• Root: ὑπέρ (hyper) = “above” + φαίνω (phainō) = “to shine” → “to shine above others.”

• Meaning: Excessive pride, arrogance, self-importance.

Examples:

1. Mark 7:22 – “Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride (ὑπερηφανία), foolishness.”

2. James 4:6 – “God resisteth the proud (ὑπερηφάνοις), but giveth grace unto the humble.”

2. ἀλαζονεία (alazoneia) – Boastfulness, Vainglory

• Root: ἀλαζών (alazōn) = “a braggart, a wanderer who boasts.”

• Meaning: Pride that manifests as boastfulness, self-promotion, and exaggeration.

Examples:

1. 1 John 2:16 – “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride (ἀλαζονεία) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

2. James 4:16 – “But now ye rejoice in your boastings (ἀλαζονεία): all such rejoicing is evil.”

3. κενοδοξία (kenodoxia) – Empty Pride, Vainglory

• Root: κενός (kenos) = “empty” + δόξα (doxa) = “glory.”

• Meaning: False pride, hollow self-glorification.

Examples:

1. Philippians 2:3 – “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory (κενοδοξία); but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”

Self Example: Ministry, Personal Competition

Our Roots of Ambitious FOMO??

Lust, pride, and vanity often take root when there is an intense focus on self, while simultaneously accusing others of not measuring up.

The book of Proverbs warns against such comparisons:

“He who compares himself with another is not wise.”

The Root of Competitive Pride

Competitive pride is deeply rooted in self-focus, ego, and hidden, self-promoting vanity. It thrives on comparison and accusation, driving individuals to elevate themselves at the expense of others.

Accuser: Brother Against Brother

After being cast out of the Garden of Eden, fallen human nature bore its first tragic fruit: envy and accusation.

Cain, driven by pride and fear of displacement, became envious of his own brother, Abel. Instead of maintaining spiritual discernment, self-control, and Godly leadership temperance, he lost control of his impulses.

In a moment of unchecked rage and competition, Cain murdered the very brother he had grown up with—all because of a need to dominate and be “over” others.

LPV
FOCUS ON VANITY

IN THE BIBLE

1. הֶבֶל (hebel) – Vanity, Futility, Vapor

• Meaning: Emptiness, fleeting breath, meaningless pursuits.

Examples:

1. Ecclesiastes 1:2 – “Vanity (הֶבֶל) of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.”

2. Psalm 39:5 – “Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity (הֶבֶל).”

2. μάταιος (mataios) – Futility, Worthlessness

• Meaning: Something useless, without substance, or deceptive.

Examples:

1. Titus 3:9 – “But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain (μάταιος).”

2. Romans 1:21 – “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain (ἐματαιώθησαν) in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

IV. SUMMARY

• Pride in Hebrew:

  • Gaʾōn (arrogance, loftiness)

  • Zāḏôn (presumptuous pride)

  • Gāḇah (haughtiness)

  • Rūm (self-exaltation)

• Pride in Greek:

  • Hyperēphania (arrogance)

  • Alazoneia (boastfulness)

  • Kenodoxia (empty pride)

• Vanity:

  • Hebel (emptiness, futility)

  • Mataios (worthlessness)

These words highlight how pride and vanity corrupt the human heart, leading to destruction and estrangement from God.

The Interconnection of Accusation, Mammon, Superior Pride, and Vanity

According to the Holy Bible, the accuser, mammon, superior pride, and vanity are deeply interrelated. These forces impact and disrupt every God-ordained relationship:

• Between God and each person

• Between a person and their own self-worth

• Between spouses in marriage

• Between parents and their children

• Between extended family members

• Between individuals and their communities, churches, workplaces, and civil society

 

Mid-Article Conclusion: The Link Between Making a Living and Relationships

It becomes evident that earning a living is closely tied to all biblical, personal, leadership, marriage, community, national, and even supernatural interactions. Every aspect of human life revolves around relationships.

However, Lust, Pride, and Vanity (LPV) compete against the call to serve and relate to others in the holy fear of the Lord.

The Fear of the Lord: A Key to Preserving Relationships

Proverbs 2:1-5 provides God’s instruction for prioritizing life—which, if followed, would help safeguard all of the aforementioned relationships:

“My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; (a key secret!)
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.” (Proverbs 2:1-5, KJV)

This passage reveals that seeking godly wisdom above material gain leads to true understanding, preserving all relationships through the fear of the Lord.

A Hero Role Model: Christ, the Non-Accusative Messiah

While enduring great undue pressure—whether from town gossip, intense spiritual warfare, complex family and personal relationships, or the deep need for inward knowledge of who He truly and eternally was—Jesus Christ remained steadfast. He fully understood the hearts and minds of every human, including those who accused Him. Yet, He never lost personal self-governance or wavered in His apostolic mission. He consistently secured His daily bread and fulfilled His ministry without ever failing or giving up.

(More on this at another time…)

Material wealth, prestige, and honor often come into play in both Godly relationships and in role modeling the Isaiah 11:3 non-accuser Messiah, Jesus Christ:

“He delighted in the fear of the Lord and did not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor make decisions based on what He heard.” (Isaiah 11:3)

Jesus: Without One Accuser’s Fault

A deep Bible study of Christ’s character and life reveals that He never lost control—whether in personal relationships, leadership, or public ministry. He wielded perfect authority, yet not once did He speak a demeaning, accusative, or bigoted word.

The King of Tyrus Analogy

A striking description of the rebellious, fallen dark angel, Satan (Lucifer) is found in Ezekiel 27 and 28. While we touch on both chapters here, a deeper exploration must wait for another time.
Note: while I  include both here..many apologies, for we don’t have room to go too deeply)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+27-28&version=KJV

However, we do call your attention to this:

EZEKIEL 28: 2-5 In the Bible King of Tyrus is an analogy to the false religious spirit of superior accusative human VANITY and relentless PRIDE which in fact, also paint clear pictures of a pictures of the Accuser, Lucifer, well known as satan, the very FIRST worship leader up in heaven.

“Because your heart is lifted up,
And you say, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of gods,
In the midst of the seas,’


Yet you are a man, and not a god,


Though you set your heart as the heart of a god
(Behold, you are wiser than Daniel!


There is no secret that can be hidden from you!


With your wisdom and your understanding
You have gained riches for yourself,


And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;


By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,


And your heart is lifted up because of your riches,” NKJV

Meeting of The Church, All of Us…and the World System

The King of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 is often interpreted symbolically as representing Lucifer before his fall as well as a human ruler (likely Ithobaal II, King of Tyre). The passage starts with a prophetic judgment against the human ruler but then shifts into descriptions that seem beyond any mere mortal—referencing Eden, divine beauty, and an anointed cherub. This is why many theologians believe it serves as a dual prophecy:

1. A literal prophecy against the historical King of Tyre – Condemning his pride, corruption, and economic exploitation.

2. A symbolic depiction of Satan’s fall – Reflecting Lucifer’s original exalted state, his rebellion, and his ultimate downfall.

1. King of Tyre as a Symbol of Levitical Patriarchalism (LPV)

You asked if the King of Tyre represents LPV (Levitical Patriarchism View). The answer depends on how you define LPV. If you see it as a prideful, controlling, authoritarian system that distorts spiritual authority, then yes, the King of Tyre is a symbol of LPV.

• Ezekiel 28:2 – “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods…’ yet you are a man, and not God.”

  • This mirrors prideful, authoritarian spiritual leadership, where leaders assume god-like authority over others rather than serving in humility.

• Ezekiel 28:16-17 – Speaks of Tyre’s corruption, trafficking, and fall due to pride.

  • This reflects systems where power becomes about wealth, control, and dominion rather than true servanthood.

• Lucifer before the fall (Ezekiel 28:12-15) was adorned with precious stones, perfect in beauty, and held a high position, yet pride led to his downfall. This is comparable to legalistic and authoritarian religious systems that start with divine intent but become oppressive.

A Less than Positive Connection to Genesis 3

In Genesis 3, Lucifer (the serpent) tempts Eve by distorting God’s word and appealing to pride and desire for control (“You will be like God” – Genesis 3:5). The King of Tyre, like Lucifer, fell because of pride and the desire to elevate himself above his rightful position. This is the same tactic used by the serpent in Eden—tempting humans with illegitimate authority, deception, and rebellion against God’s order.

Connection to Revelation 12:7-12

Revelation 12 describes a war in heaven where Michael and his angels defeat the dragon (Satan), who is cast down to earth. This aligns with the fall of Lucifer (Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14) and marks the beginning of Satan’s reign over earthly systems, which includes the Babylonian system at play in the world today.

2. King of Tyre as a Symbol of the Babylonian System Today

The Babylonian system in Scripture represents a global, economic, political, and religious system driven by pride, corruption, materialism, and rebellion against God.

• Revelation 17-18 describes Mystery Babylon as a corrupt, wealthy, and oppressive system that deceives nations and rules over kings.

• Tyre was a major trade center known for wealth, luxury, and corruption, just like Babylon in Revelation.

Similarities Between Tyre, Babylon, and Today’s Global Systems:

• Economic Corruption & Greed:

  • Tyre controlled commerce, Babylon controlled trade, and today’s global elites manipulate wealth and power for control.

• Spiritual Deception & False Authority:

  • Tyre’s king claimed to be a god, Babylon promoted idolatry, and today we see false religious and political control.

• Oppression & Persecution of the Righteous:

  • Tyre and Babylon crushed the weak, and in Revelation, Babylon is guilty of the blood of the saints (Rev 18:24).

Final Takeaways

• The King of Tyre is a prototype of Lucifer before his fall, embodying pride, rebellion, and false authority.

• He reflects the Babylonian system—a corrupt, deceptive world system of wealth, power, and false worship that still operates today.

• He parallels Levitical Patriarchalism (if seen as an authoritarian, legalistic system) because of its **pride

• LPV and authoritarian religious control that mirrors the prideful, rigid, hierarchical rule of the King of Tyre and Babylon.
• Ultimately, Jesus Christ—the Non-Accuser Messiah—models the opposite of these systems, walking in humility, truth, and servant leadership rather than power-seeking or control.

The Job 41 Leviathan
I owe knowing the existence of the Job 41 due to having a divine appointment , before Texas, with Sister BJ, humble servant minister of the true Glory of God at the state of VA Calvary Campground(late 90’s)

The Hiding Darting, Sneaky Snake of Superior Hiding And Accusing Pride

JOB 41: The analogy of the serpentine LEVIATHAN: which is the example of satan , who was cast down from heaven because of his accusative vain EGO.

“Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.” KJV

Money Mad and Mean Cruel Indifference

The Indifferent Sins of Sodom

Ezekiel 16:49 highlights the sins of Sodom, which are often not widely known: “Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness was in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”

The Rich Man and the Poor Man Lazarus

Luke 16:19-31 describes the story of the rich man and the poor man Lazarus. The rich man, well-dressed and living in luxury, ignored the poor beggar, Lazarus, who lay suffering outside his door with running sores. Wild dogs came and licked his sores, yet the rich man did nothing to help.

The Author Mentions Psalm 118

The complete and exact opposite of the anathema to the survival of all Bible relationships is LPV (Lust, Pride, and Vanity).

Yet the anathema to all levels of LPV in each of us is to fully know (to discern, perceive, and allow ourselves to fully know, experience, and heed) the mercy of the Lord.

The Mercy of the Wonderful Lord

As we draw to a close, let us point out something more precious than money, security, or hard work—it is the mercy of the Heavenly Father, who is there 100 percent of the time.

I refer to the entirety of Psalm 118 as apostolic life coaching in miniature, as it accurately describes the ups and downs of those who live for God amidst the “fiery trials” and “amazing blessings” of real life. This includes the pressures of ministry, personal life, family, and the often steep and difficult situations that many face.

Taveau D’Arcy Creative Leadership Equipping, her ministry life coaching, and the DFW Leader Fellowship (IFFM) use Psalm 118 to maintain “good cheer” and to “keep heart balance,” offering a realistic, healthy, 5-fold office senior ministry perspective.

In the future, the leader will expound further in the Crossbody Unity Christian Leadership Movement… UNIVERSITY (a non-accredited apostolic leader seminary: “Psalm 118 Doctrines for a New Day”).

Psalm 118

(Key Ministry Verses Highlighted)

“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”(Proverbs 29:25: “Fear of man brings a snare.”)

The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them.
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me.

The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.

The right hand of the Lord is exalted: the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord. This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (KJV)

In closing, please remember: God is Love.

Postscript
When researching Psalm 118, I came across a commentary that contrasted it with Exodus 15:2. It is akin to a baby Psalm 118, a pocket-sized end result overview. Both are heart-pure and free from the accuser’s enabling, avoiding the non-productive LPV:

“The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.”
— Exodus 15:2

In Him, many are granted ongoing blessings.
