She thoughtfully and carefully chooses and lays out the dress and shoes she will wear. Next she chooses just the right shades of makeup, mascara, and lipstick. Then she fixes her hair just so. With meticulous care she fixes her face, lashes, and lips. When she finally puts on her dress and shoes she is something to behold! She is quite glamorous! Everything about her attire and makeup is planned and designed to "accentuate the flesh", to make herself appealing and enticing in a fleshly way, and all for profit and gain! She is a whore about to take to the streets.
She is a picture of modern religion. She is the "GREAT WHORE" of Revelation "that sitteth upon many waters" (Rev. 17:1, 15). She is "MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" (Rev. 17:5). She is the average church in every city and small town across the United States of America. Everything about her attire and makeup is planned and designed to "accentuate the flesh", to make herself appealing and enticing in a fleshly way, and all for profit and gain! She is a whore on the street!
Brothers and sisters, behold and wonder! Tremble for the souls of men and women! Behold the beautiful buildings,the high steeples, the stained glass windows, and ask yourself, WHY? Behold the crosses, the pictures of Jesus (so-called), the beautifully robed choirs, and ask yourself, WHY? Behold the clowns, the ventriloquists, the famous (worldly famous) personalities, the plays and dramas, and ask yourself, WHY? Behold the flesh-appealing, promotional schemes, gimmicks, prizes, etc., and ask yourself, WHY? Is this the will of God, the way of God, the work of God, the glory of God?
I have only this to say: There is nothing, absolutely nothing,about true worship and true religion which is appealing to the flesh! Think about it!
