“The Church World.” 1 Samuel 2:12; Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. v17; Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord. (In our time it’s offering ourselves.) 1 Samuel 4:3; And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies. v4; So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. v5; And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. v10; And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. v11; And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. (My hope is that you read into the above scriptures relating to The Church World. The sons of Eli wanted some of the word but not all of it; Luke 16:13; No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. They wanted to bring the Lord in when they wanted to. Instead, of the Lord bring them in; 2 Timothy 3:5; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. v7; Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. There are some that would probably say, it doesn’t take all of that; Hebrews 4:1; Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. v10; For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.) “But The Church At Large!” Acts 13:22; And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 2 Timothy 2:19; Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Which Is It Going To Be? Teaching! Overseer/Apostle
