HONOUR BECOMES WORSHIP WHEN IT CROSSES DIFFERENT WORLDS Angels of heaven were first known as stars, before they were known as angels: Stars were their general names, while angels are the names that depict them as messengers or ministers of God. God made us men, but uses us as his servants; God also made them stars, but uses them as angels. Michael is the name of a star, Gabriel is the name of a star, Lucifer (Morning star) is the name of a star, Wormwood is the name of a star (Revelation 8:11): and every Star that has a name, has a number or the number of its name: As it is written, “He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.” (Psalms 147:4) Now, when a saint dies and resurrects, he becomes like the angels of heaven to us here on the earthly plain (Matthew 22:30). In the preceeding update, we saw how Peter erroneously offered to build three tabernacles in honour of Jesus, Saint Moses and Saint Elijah who were already dead or translated into Stars; but John the beloved was also a victim of trying to worship a glorified saint or an angel (star) as well: He attempted to worship the angel, but the angel himself told him not to try that for he is a fellow servant like him; rather he should worship God (Revelation 22:8-9). Another man tried to do honour to the angel or man of God who brought the goodnews of the birth of Samson to him and his wife, but the angel refused to release his name to them and refused to accept any offering from them unless they offer it to God (Judges 13:15-22). Even Paul and Barnabas were about to be worshipped by people and honoured by men who saw them as gods or glorified saints or stars, but they quickly rent their clothes and forbade them and directed them to worship only God: as it is written, “And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Jupiter, who was before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people: Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, And saying, “Sirs, why do these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach to you that you should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.” And with these sayings, he hardly restrained the people, to keep them from sacrificing to them.” (Acts 14:11-18) Now stars and glorified saints are gods: Whoever is honouring a glorified saint is honouring other gods: gods are worshipped when they are honoured from another world other than that in which they belong. Therefore, stop honouring any glorified saint or star whether in heaven or hell. Do not think that because the gods are in heaven, therefore they are worthy of your honour as well: As it is written, “And lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, and should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has divided to all nations under the whole heaven.” (Deuteronomy 4:19) Any glorified saint or star of heaven or of hell who asks for your honour here on earth is an anti-Christ. To make it as simple as possible, there are three different worlds that changes or alters ones services or honour from another world into worship in another world; that is if one is in one of the world, and he tries to honour or serve another person in the second world, that service or honour becomes a worship. But if one in one of the worlds, honours or serves another person in that same world, it is mere serve or honour and not worship because both of them are in the same world. The three worlds that can change or alter the services or honour coming from another world include: 1. Heaven 2. Earth 3. Hell or beneath the earth When you honour a saint in heaven or hell while you are on earth, you are worshipping that saint or star whether you like it or not: To honour or serve that saint or star, wait until you get to heaven or become part of the same world the saint or star belong to. Jesus Christ is the only Saint or Star or Person whom God gave the honour of being served, honoured and worshipped from all the three worlds: God only shares his glory with Jesus Christ the Son of God: 1. When God brought Jesus from heaven down to earth, he still asked the angels of heaven to keep honouring or worshipping him though he has left the world of heaven down to earth: As it is written, “And again, when he brought in the firstbegotten into the world, he said, “And let all the angels of God worship him.”” (Hebrews 1:6) 2. When Jesus ascended up to the Father, God also gave him the name or honour of having all the people in every world, heaven, earth and hell, worship and honour him: As it is written, “Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11) Even in the grave, Jesus is Lord. You must therefore, differentiate both.
