Inversion: a change in the position, order, or relationship of things so that they are the opposite of what they had been (merriam-webster.com)
Inversion. It’s a word and concept God’s been highlighting to us since 2011, when He began to show us the roots behind some of the teachings we’d been hearing.
There’s nothing quite so bizarre or baffling as witnessing something being misinterpreted and misunderstood to the degree that it actually ends up being presented and applied in the exact opposite way from what was originally intended. Yet, this complete twisting and perversion has become increasingly prevalent and popular in the world all around us.
After the Lord showed us how degrees of inversion were creeping into the church in a masked form (discussed below), He then drew our attention to how it was occurring in many other places as well, reversing roles, distorting definitions, and flipping facts in an attempt to rewrite history and redefine culture. We have seen it occurring in school curriculum, the media, politics, the entertainment industry -through supposedly Biblical films from Hollywood such as Noah (which was wrapped in the snake skin of Kabbalah), in revisions of fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty (“Maleficent”), and in every other sphere where we see good being redefined and re-presented as evil and evil as good.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent and shrewd in their own sight! … — Who justify and acquit the guilty for a bribe, but take away the rights of the innocent and righteous from them! Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be like rottenness and their blossom shall go up like fine dust—because they have rejected and cast away the law and the teaching of the Lord of hosts and have not believed but have treated scornfully and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 5:20-24
I realized God was also exposing this growing trend to others when my brother and his family visited us earlier in the year. My ears were perked and my heart on high alert when, in our conversation about pop-culture, he identified “the inversion” that’s taking place more and more. I knew God was continuing to confirm.
He heavily emphasized it again when we heard the shocking news of the five pastors in Houston who were subpoenaed for their sermons, from those ironically citing “the separation of church and state” as justification for their extraordinarily unconstitutional actions. These words from Thomas Jefferson (in a private letter, not the constitution) have been misused for years to try to banish Christianity from our schools and government. But recently we’ve all witnessed this error taken to the extent of trying to evict religious convictions from peoples’ private businesses, medical practices, ministries, and now even churches. The very words written to further ensure our Constitutional protection from the government, prohibiting them from making laws that inhibit our religious freedoms, are being used to attempt to do the precise thing they were intended to prevent. It’s a complete inversion of the original intent!
(The first amendment, U.S. Constitution)
After so many confirmations from the Lord to address this issue, when I began to peer further down the rabbit hole, I was amazed to discover that one of the definitions given for inversion in the dictionary is same-sex attraction/relations and “ identification with the gender role of the opposite sex”. This aspect of inversion has taken center stage in both the church and nation, and is at the root of many other things occurring to invert God’s Word and will in society.
Once again, what’s happening in the nation is a mirror reflection of what’s been happening in the church (the natural mirroring the spiritual)!
In the occult, this core tenet of inversion is referred to as “the law of reversal.” And the occult is exactly where we need to look in order to understand the roots behind this phenomenon in society and the church today. The Lord first showed us the growing inversion that’s been occurring in the church by revealing the foundational teachings of a very influential occult group that’s more pervasive than we ever realized, whose belief system is rooted in a total inversion of truth spanning all the way back to Genesis. This inversion portrays Yahweh, the Creator and Only True God, as a villainous “god” – the enemy of mankind – while depicting lucifer (satan, the serpent) as a benevolent “god” who took compassion on mankind and helped free us from the oppression of Yahweh‘s unreasonable rules. Yahweh‘s original rule not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (and all of His subsequent moral laws) are depicted as His attempt to keep mankind subservient, blinded to the truth that we could become like Him (God) through the enlightenment and experience the serpent offered. In other words, those who adhere to this view actually believe the serpent’s original lie that deceived Adam and Eve. This inverted revisionist history of the events of Eden naturally encourages people to cast off Yahweh‘s so called “oppressive” message of Lordship in favor of lucifer’s inclusive and accepting message of lawlessness – to “do as thou wilt”. It leads people to reject the true God in an attempt to become their own god.
However, such a blatant form of inversion could never deceive the whole world. Knowing that many who believe in Yahweh/Jesus would never purposefully reject God in order to follow satan, these ideas have been stealthily shape-shifted for Christendom. The Christianized rendition of the inversion retains the good God vs. bad God framework, but wisely dispenses of the names Yahweh and lucifer in order to avoid being immediately recognized and rejected by Christians as error. Instead, for believers, the original tale of the “good God vs. bad God” has been repackaged to simply represent people’s idea, view, or concept of God. Yet make no mistake, the True God, Yahweh, as revealed in His Word, is still being portrayed as a villainous concept of God – a wrong, oppressive, and outdated view of who God/Jesus really is. Yahweh’s true love, grace, gospel, and salvation that involves repentance, transformation, and Lordship is presented as an enemy of mankind and what they claim God/Jesus is really like (even to the ultimate extreme of inversion at times of calling this true view of God/Jesus, anti-Christ). Likewise, the serpent (lucifer/satan) is the one still masquerading behind this erroneous version of the “good God” – portrayed as the right view of who God/Jesus really is. His counterfeit versions of love, grace, the gospel, and salvation give us freedom from Lordship, allowing people to continue living however seems best to them without repentance, transformation, or judgment (see Exposing the Gospel of Lawlessness and The First Law of satanism ).
Those deceived by this version of the serpent’s inversion cannot continue to accept the whole counsel of God’s Word, including large portions of the New Testament, since it can no longer reconcile with this new revelation of God/Jesus they’ve received (see Exposing the Spirit of a Magician , Part of the Spirit of a Magician’s Grand Finale, the Spirit of a Magician and Supernatural Power, and The Spirit of a Magician and Apostasy – part 1). A good test to know whether or not we’ve been deceived by this inverted version of God/Jesus is to humbly and prayerfully read through the entire New Testament (in a reliable translation), doing our best to rid ourselves of all preconceived biases and desired outcomes, and sincerely asking God to guide us into all Truth and deliver us from all deception and error. As we do, we should take note of everything that contradicts or challenges our present beliefs. If we find that our present theological views cause us to recoil against or reject the words of Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, John, Jude, and others or to realize that we would actually identify their words as “the voice of the enemy” rather than the voice of God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit if we heard the same words spoken by someone today, then we have our answer. For a quick test, simply reading Jesus’ words to the churches in Revelation 2-3 can be quite telling. If we find the words of the real Jesus to the churches surprising, offensive, or contradictory to our view of who Jesus is, we have our answer.
As mentioned in Signs of the End – part 1 through the analogy of the bizarro world, we believe God also showed us that this spreading inversion in the church (the error of lawlessness) is the enemy’s forerunner message to prepare the way for the antichrist (II Thessalonians 2)- an inversion of God’s forerunner message of repentance which prepares the way for Jesus (Luke 3:1-20). Sadly, with every new inversion that’s embraced and enshrined in our society, I believe the Lord revealed the pillars of the enemy’s kingdom are being established and swiftly drawing his kingdom to earth (see Dark of the Moon – part 2).
Of course, we know that the true inversion that occurred in the garden of Eden came through the words satan (wrapped in a snake skin) hissed that deceived mankind into believing that God’s boundary which was given in love for their good was instead oppressive and evil – cruelly withholding something good from them and preventing them from being and doing all that was possible. Thus the inception of inversion entered the earth, and the enemy has continued this mission to completely twist, distort, pervert, and invert God’s Word, will, and world ever since.
