The Throne Of Iniquity Exposed


Shalom and welcome to The Throne of Iniquity Exposed. We hope you will be encouraged and strengthened in Yahshua and His truth as you study with us here. All serious and thoughtful questions are welcome as we share in this blog.

This post is one in a series of posts. It is therefore recommended that before reading this post that you read, 'Arrested For Sedition' and Smitten In The Winepress' first.click here

We begin with an overview study on the (End of Days) in order to give deeper and fuller context to our series of studies on the final events leading up to the Death of Yahshua on the cross of Calvary.

  The life of Messiah in many respects is a prophecy of what will be played out again in our lives. "To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: "..Col. 1:27.. If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matt. 16:24;Mk. 8:34;Mk. 10:21; Lk. 9:23) This position is further illustrated in the last book of the Scriptures [Revelation 11:8]. In this portion of Scripture the condition of the world just before Messiah's coming is given. It talks about a place spiritually called Sodom and Egypt and "....where also our Lord was crucified. We will not at this time get into the study of the Two Witnesses of this passage but we look at this verse in conjunction with the previous verses and with that fact that history is being repeated. (Please read [Eccl.3:15; and Ps. 2)."Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." Jhn. 15:20,21. The same spirit of persecution which existed in Yahshua's day, has been, and will be exercised again, against the soul of the righteous. The details of this picture will emerge more clearly as we with patience continue in our series of studies.
We begin our study with the verse, from which the title of this post is taken. " Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?" Ps. 94:20 What is the throne of iniquity? What is the law which will be framed with mischievous intent?We know that this throne of iniquity is not Yahweh's throne because we are told in 2Chr.19:7)for [there is] no iniquity with the LORD our God. ".... far be it from God, [that he should do] wickedness; and [from] the Almighty, [that he should commit] iniquity." (Job 34:10)
O YHWH my Elohim please bless all who shall read this post that with all their getting they may get wisdom and understanding that it may be well with them. And give me utterance that I may speak the words of Your deep wisdom and of Your doings which are to high for me to attain unto, hear my voice and bless for your name's sake that the Throne of Iniquity may be exposed and that all who are thine may flee from it and be translated into thy kingdom and those who are in thy Kingdom may be fortified by the words of truth; as it is in thy Word of truth that we all we be built up in the most holy faith of our fathers Avram, yitzach, and Yacov and bless us with patience to listen and hear your words and keep them and do them....in Yahshua's name amein.
To understand the Throne of Iniquity and the part it played in the arrest, trial and condemnation of our Messiah, and it's relevance to us today,  we need to go way back to when sin first entered the universe of YHWH.
"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:..."Isa.14:13)
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (Eze. 28:13-15). Combining these two verses we have Satan's throne identified when iniquity was found in him.
When Satan and his sympathizer's were cast out of heaven (after the first war ever) we understand that he was cast out into the earth.Rev.12:9. He devised and implemented a plan whereby he may establish this earth as his dominion and empire. We know from the Scriptures that Adam was given(by YWHW) dominion over all the earth.  "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." (B'resheet 1:26,28) [Gen.1:26,28]
In order to become the representative of this world he planned to cause the spiritual fall of Adam and Eve, thereby causing them to come under his power and dominion through obedience to him.  "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" (Rom.6:16) Thus he hoped in gaining adherents to his cause he would spread the evil seeds of rebellion throughout the universe of YHWH. We know that YHWH gave Adam kingship of this world on condition of obedience to His universal government.YHWH said to Adam that if he should eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil he would die. He gave Adam the power of choice; to choose life and live or disobey and die. If Adam should choose obedience to Him then the strong man; (Satan), would've not become the king of this world by usurpation and deception). But we know that Adam and Eve fell from loyalty to Throne of Glory; and thus became subjects of Satan's kingdom. But the Guarded One (YHWH) (See our post at our blogspot 'By the Sea Once More' for more on this topic in the post called the Guarded One and the Desender)click here sent down the Descender to first "....bind the strong man and then he will spoil his house." (Matt.12:29) Satan succeeded in his plan of causing the fall of our first parents. But he has not been successful in spreading rebellion in the universe of YHWH. We know from the Scriptures that YHWH'S dominion is an everlasting dominion(See Dan. 4:34)  so even in causing the fall of Adam his (Satan's) dominion was not supreme but  limited to what he is allowed by YHWH to do. Part of Messiah's mission to our world was to first bind the "strong man" Satan and his Throne of Iniquity then He would spoil his goods. (In other words bringing redemption through becoming our near kinsman, living a perfect life[thus never becoming a subject of the Throne of Iniquity] and then dying on the cross of Calvary in our stead and then giving His victorious life to all who should choose Him as their King; thus spoiling Satan's house through reclaiming his prey. Shall the prey(you and me) be taken from the mighty(Satan), or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:...."Isa.49:24,25
Once Satan became a usurped prince of this world (See Jhn.12:31;14:30;16:11;&; Eph.2:2)  he began working through the hearts of the children of disobedience to manifest the principles of his government. Not content with his position as covering cherub in Shamayim [Heaven] (See Eze.28:13-15); not content with the way that YHWH had ordered the Heavenly principalities, he sought to reform things by making himself above YHWH. It is evident from the Scriptures that he persuaded one third of the Heavenly host to join him in his rebellion Rev.12:4) . And after listening to his subtly they must of bought into his way of how the government of Elohim should be ordered; with Satan as there leader.(See Rev.12:9)

We know also from the Scriptures that although mankind became the rightful prey of Satan, Elohim also placed in the heart of man enmity toward Satan and the Throne of Iniquity. "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Gen.3:15).  And with this first prophecy of the Scriptures we see the promise of limited power over the hearts of man and more importantly the promise of the coming of our Messiah to bruise the serpents head while in the process receive, as it were a bruised heel". If it where not for this enmity, which YHWH placed in the human heart we will forever be in harmony with Satan and his Throne of Iniquity. But if man do not accept the provision made at Calvary; if he does not make peace with Elohim, but continues on in sin then he becomes forever linked with Satan and thus will finally be destroyed with him.
The mystery of iniquity (See 2Thess.2:7) from the beginning was what the Scriptures says that it is; a mystery. The universe of Elohim had never before encountered someone who would defy the mild authority of YHWH. They delighted in doing the Fathers' will. They were happy and holy. But when the mysterious working from the Throne of Iniquity began to work; many must have wondered at this strange and new manifestation.
Having gained a following Satan sought to work on the same methods of deception that worked in Heaven. One of the methods employed was secrecy, and cunning. At the tree of the knowledge of good and evil we see this same principle at work. Satan knowing what Elohim had told the holy pair in reference to the tree of knowledge of good and evil; (this is apparent because he quoted the same words to Eve) took the form of a serpent and  repeated the same words to Eve; the only difference is the manner in which the words where spoken; implying a doubt as to the veracity of Elohim's word. And Eve by accepting the doubt, came under the bewitching power of Satan. He then worked through Eve to seduce her husband to sin.
We know from the Scriptures that the Throne of Iniquity will use part truth, subtly, lies, and every other seed of falsehood to obtain its objective. The burden was on Satan to prove that he has a better order of government, a better way of doing things than YHWH. We find in (Rev.12:12) that YHWH had given him a short time to develop his way of doing things, his way of governing the universe. Because YHWH is love (1Jo. 4:8,16) he would only accept a heart of loving service to Him.(And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart Mk.12:30;1Cor.2:9;3:8). He could have very easily destroyed Satan and his followers, but to do this, the very seeds of rebellion would've sprung up in the hearts of others in fear; and the Scripture says that (For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.)(2Tim.1:7) Thus YHWH who is infinite in wisdom choose, for the good of all concerned to give Satan time to develop the principles of his Throne of Iniquity. Adam did not have to obey Satan; he could have, and should have, remained loyal to YHWH, but he did not, and thus here we are.But YHWH, who is rich in mercy toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that we all should come to repentance, made a way of escape from Satan and his Throne of Iniquity. But if mankind would be made free the grain of corn (the Seed) must first be cast into the ground and die] "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." (Jhn. 8:36)
Thus, in the great plan of Redemption that YHWH our Elohim has implemented, we learn from it, that the throne of iniquity will finally be destroyed (Prov.10:29; Dan.7:26;Ps.36:12)

We have now identified the Throne of Iniquity and its Prince. We will (YHWH desires) post again and answer the other questions raised earlier in this post; namely, What is the law which will be framed with mischievous intent?

We leave you with this most precious promise of Scripture......"And thou, O tower of the flock{Yahshua}, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion;......Amien, and Amien!
Shalom
