Leaven is a bad thing; it is evil. It is all the false teaching, all the immorality, all the sin, all the flesh and worldliness, all the deception, all the hypocrisy, all the wickedness, all Pharisaical dead religion, all satanic doctrines, all the merchandising, all the bondage and all the lies in the Church. It is everything that Jesus cleanses out of His temple. Like the enemy who sows evil tares in the field, this woman sows evil leaven into the meal. The woman is the collective agents of false Christian Church System, the Harlot. She is wearing glamorous scarlet and purple clothing; she is decked out with flashy jewelry and pearls. She hides the leaven within the meal when no one is looking. She is committing an act of wickedness against God and does not want to get caught; she works in secret. She is infusing evil into that which belongs to God. She pretends she is the Bride but her clothing betrays her identity; she is not wearing white, she is not pure. She is not modest or chaste. She is not married to Christ, but to the Beast System which is against Christ. She is a deceiver and an imposter, working by stealth. The result of her leaven is the fermentation of ‘Human’ success, pride, puffed up corruption, sin, evil, lies, rebellion, blasphemy, rot and decay which overgrows in the Kingdom. The result is the whole is fully leavened. This putrid lump of three leavened measures of meal is now being offered to the Lord by those who claim to be His people. Back in Genesis Abraham and Sarah offered unleavened bread to the LORD, made out of three measures of pure clean meal, which God accepted. But as for this end time leavened dough, God will chop off two parts of this rotted mess, and He will throw it away. He will then purge all the leaven out of the remaining part. He will bring the third part into the fire to refine, cleanse and purify it. He will remove all the leaven from the third part. Then He will have that unleavened bread that is pleasing and acceptable to Him. Then His Kingdom will be pure.
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. Gen.18:6
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Matt.13:33
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. Zech.13:8-9
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality…. Rev.17:4
inside the cup is the leaven….. that she hides in the meal
the whole thing is fully leavened!
We are being purged NOW. We are being cleansed of the Harlot woman’s abominations and the unclean things, now.
We are being separated from the two parts which are cut off, (and which die), now.
We are being purified, refined, and tried; brought through the fire.
We are burning on His hearth.
Very good description Loretta. This is simply described while still being full of the meat of scripture.
God Bless

Loretta, I used to think that when we came out of Babylon we had escaped from the thirds judgments – that those in the wilderness were not tried by fire. I am now thinking that our choice to come out from babylon places us among the third that Is tried by fire, and refined? What do you think?
Great post! God Bless,
Glenn

hi Glenn, According to the metaphorical language studies that are linked on this site, there are four groups. The woman in the wilderness ( firstfruits, 144K) people come out of the leavened situation first, they go into the wilderness, they have a place there, are protected, and are fed. This leaves three parts: the multitude (the great harvest), the serpents and the scorpions. The serpents and scorpions get cut off and the third part, the multitude in the Church, go thru the fire of Tribulation (suffering, persecution, captivity, death) to refine, purge and purify.
Then again, all the remnant people of God, which includes the 144K and the multitude together as one, for them (for us) our whole lives are the tribulation also, progressively and increasingly, as we are further separated, sanctified and purified in preparation for what will come/ what God has for us next as His people.
I think these different destinations are further elaborated on/ related to, in Daniel as we see different “fates” (decreed by God) for different people. We all fit into one or the other of these destinations.
Personally about your last Q I am really not sure. There are different kinds of trials, fire, refinement. I believe all God’s people go thru this in one way or the other, to be prepared to be with Him.
“they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.” Zech.13:8-9
see also Daniel 11:32-35
-those who display strength & take action (be strong, do exploits)
-those who give understanding to the many
-those who fall by the sword
-those who die by flame
-those who are taken into captivity (and die)
-those who die by plunder
-some of those who have insight will fall…. in order to refine, purge, make them pure until the end time. v35
I’d say that verse would put us all in the category of going thru tribulation, try by fire, refine etc. I’m still learning. I’m not doing definitive or exhaustive studies, just sharing in very simple terms, light the Lord has given me thus far.
your sister,
Loretta

Loretta I love your site and read it often…I need to email you privately can you do that?? Bless you cdsk
cdsk, hi. Sure I’ll email you, thanks. Talk soon.
Loretta
2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
The difference is the remnant come out of Babylon when the Lord calls them, liken to “Peter come follow me”.
The multitudes have to be dragged out and set out side of the city. AKA the story of Lot.
Abraham kept himself separate, and Lot did not. Thus Lot had to be separated.
Bill
Thanks for that Bill, this helps a great deal.
My thanks too Bill. This really helps explain things
!
Man this is great, I went from rabbit trails to the narrow way, and the Lord keeps confirming to me that I am included in understanding all this. A few months ago I wouldn’t have understood, now I come here and read the post and get even more clarity from reading the comments, superb ! I have studied Sue and Randy’s teachings, but I am really getting a grasp of it now, with Bill’s breakouts, Watchmen Weekly, and like Pete says, Lorretta has a gift for communication. I feel a sense of urgency, but at the same time, I am at peace, really ! I am blessed by all you guys. Thanks
Dan
By the way, sorry about the typo, Loretta.
hi Dan, it has been a year now for me, and I still feel like I just woke up yesterday and began to see!
Dan,
Praise God that he rescued us! I pray that we can live up to our calling!!! God Bless
Glenn
P.S.
I was looking at one of Loretta posts on joining up with God in the wilderness. I think it’s worth a link from here:
https://revivemeolord.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/with-him-outside-the-camp/
That post led me to this prayer.:
Dear God,
We pray for true harvest hands. Please deliver those trapped in Babylon, trapped in their lukewarm churches, and their allegiance to the Abomination. Help us to do our part in your plans to release them. May your will be done. May your Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven.
Amen
hi Glenn, you mention allegiance, that is one thing that has been on my heart recently concerning The Church, and those in it; where does a Christian’s allegiance lie? Just exactly like the RCC during most of Church history, the push now in Evangelical circles (i see much of this in Reformed Evangelicalism), is to make one’s allegiance The Church System when a true believer does not want to give allegiance to anything other than the Lord Jesus Christ. It is greatly alarming to see this belief in “protestant, independent or so called Baptist” Churches that comes directly from the Roman Catholic (false) Church.
http://fleebabylon.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/i%E2%80%99ll-be-honest-about-the-roman-baptist-church-will-you/
Allegiance to the Abomination, that’s an accurate way of putting it. I pray for God’s people that they will all repent (as i have regarding this issue as i was also in this sin for a long time) and make their allegiance none other than our Lord Who shed perfect blood and died to redeem His people.
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, Sadducees and scribes.
Hi all and peace in Christ Jesus.
I just stumbled onto this website and found this interesting and safe to share. It is some Spiritual thought of Revelation that i found interesting while in Spirit that a few of you may find as interesting.
First, I am not a math person and surely no writer. I failed algebra, i count on my fingers, yet after “rebirth..went back to college, only as a challenge to have aced algebra with A’s, dropped out after prerequisites and got a job at a bank. Why explain this? To make sure everyone here knows it is not a human thing for me to figure out this “math” language of what the Lord showed me just recently about the judging or “purifying” of the church in Revelation. I will try to get to a point. Let’s start with the falling of Lucifer in old Testament Isaiah. Lucifer is called the morning star. Jump to revelation we see Christ being the morning star and to all who overcome is given the morning star. Lucifer is de ranked, dethroned and repositioned to -dragon or destroyer. Christ Himself takes His place as head lead. Then, I see a third of the stars-angels cast down with lucifer, having also left their stations. Next, I note that the Lord loses NOTHING. He will leave the 99 and go after the 1. Since the Lord is without a 1/3 of worshippers, He seeks to replace them and judge them at the same time. With who? …a 1/3 of the 7 churches? How do i figure ? Because two of the churches of revelation where NOT reprimanded. ONE church, sardis was reprimanded and warned to strengthen what remained of it’s church. ONLY a few of sardis were found worthy. That is two plus a few. A Few is less than half. Maybe a 1/4, 1/5 or …1/3. If you divide a third of the 7, you are found with 2.33. Two churches plus a few…1/3? It is not surprising that 1/3 cannot be divided and if it is …it still goes on forever. .3333333333. According to what everyone is saying especially according to Zech 13:8-9 prophecy, 1/3 of the angels are jealous of the church and are seeking to put a halt to her catching this “he who has an ear warning for this church, yet the Lord is using this to purify her to get His 1/3, while putting His enemies to shame. Very interesting to me. Daniel said that the Lord would pour out what was shut up until the end. I find all of this extremely fascinating as to where we are at this time..

amen Cheryl, those angels that rebelled will be judged and the Lord Jesus WILL receive for Himself an abundant reward for His suffering, in His redemption of all of His people, His called out ones, gathered unto Himself to worship and serve Him forever!
love, Loretta
