For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom Yahuah shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8
Electrical current has resistance that is called Ohm's Law (E = IR). It is voltage = current x resistance. Spiritually we also have resistance. We as believers in Yahusha Hamashia will find that Satan's will or Phantom influence and activity in our lives is an adversary, a resistance to righteousness. In the verses above we see that iniquity is a resistance to righteousness. The verses above are a promise that Phantom behavior will be destroyed.
Phantom Behavior in Adam and Eve
Before the fall of Adam and Eve, we see that they are in fellowship with Yahuah of Hosts. There was no reason to be afraid of Him. Moses gives a description of Yahuah of Hosts and so does Daniel when there was a fourth man in the fire with his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
And he said, I beseech you, show me your glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahuah before you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. And he said, You cannot see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And Yahuah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and you shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a clift of the rock, and will cover you with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and you shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. Exodus 33:18-23
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Alah (ĕlâ) Daniel 3:25
Do you get the point? Adam and Eve was with Yahuah while Moses needed protection from Yahuah's appearance. The burnt rock is still there in Saudi Arabia's northwest where Yahuah spoke to Moses. In comes Satan in the host body of a serpent. After the Satanic sales pitch, Adam and Eve hid from Yahuah. The phantom spirit of Satan was in them.
Purging the Wicked Phantom
The person of interest would be Mary Magdalene. Her life where her name is mentioned shows that she was a real disciple. Here we see her in Luke chapter 8.
And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of Elohiym: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto Him of their substance. And when much people were gathered together, and were come to Him out of every city, He spoke by a parable:
I quote, "The traditional view is that the Gospel of Luke and Acts were written by the physician Luke, a companion of Paul."
However by reading the first chapter of Luke, there is direct quotes from the Virgin Mary herself. I believe Luke was the scribe that wrote the book of Luke but the credit should go to the Virgin Mary. But it is said that the Virgin Mary died in the year 41. The book of Luke was written much latter. The question is, what was the true identity of each Mary that was set adrift with Joseph of Arimathea on the Mediterranean Sea? One was Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene may have had input on the last chapter of Luke also. The question is, did the Apostle John hide the Virgin Mary? Or did the Jews place her in the doomed boat? Or did she go willingly under another identity like Mary of Bethany? Or was she resurrected after a natural death? I believe there is enough evidence to investigate the possibility that the Virgin Mary lived out her days in Wales called the United Kingdom today. Then there's Acts 29 that was cut from the Bible. It was the Apostle Paul's letter about visiting the Druids and speaking in London England.
Phantom Behavior has blinded our hearts to history. All we can do is gather the facts and reevaluate history in light of the Holy Spirit. As for Mary Magdalene, we first turn to scripture.
Matthew 27:55-58 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children. When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Matthew 28:1-7. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
Mark 15:40-47 Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
Mark 16:1-9. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Luke 24:10-12. It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
John 19:25. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
John 20:1-18. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
Once again, where Mary Magdalene is mentioned scripture treats her kindly without hiding that she had seven phantom spirits living in her.
The seven deadly sins are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and laziness. It can go without saying that every person living or dead did these all. Mary Magdalene was no different. Everyone are born with theses traits. However there's the Spirit of Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath and Laziness. For an example you take pride that has been hurt with wrath, laziness and age, you have bitter old people. Add gluttony you have fat bitter old people. Then they wonder why they have no relationships with family or people.
Predators with the spirit of Pride, Lust, Envy, and Wrath are narcissists, pimps and rapists. It depends on the mix of the phantoms living inside the host body. Mary Magdalene had all seven. Now let us look at Luke 7.
36-38 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to food. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Yahusha sat at dinner in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Notice that she brought an alabaster box of ointment. This was most likely expensive. Already she overcome the spirit of greed. Just being there she defeated the spirit of Pride.
39-44 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touching him: for she is a sinner. And Yahusha answering said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto you. And he said, Master, say on. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, You have rightly judged. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, do you see this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Yahusha was exposing Simon the Pharisee as a hypocrite. Simon wouldn't even share a little water.
45- 47 You gave me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in has not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil you did not anoint: but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.
Lust and love are two different things. To love is to overcome lust. To love is to overcome wrath. Already four of seven deadly phantoms have been defeated.
48-59 And he said unto her, Your sins are forgiven. And they that sat at dinner with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgives sins also? And he said to the woman, your faith has saved you; go in peace.
The three deadly phantoms I didn't mention was envy, gluttony and laziness. Sometimes it's not what you do but what you don't do. She did not eat dinner. She took on the position of Yahusha's servant. She overcome envy by not promoting herself that she was worthy of being a dinner guest. She didn't grab food in secret. She overcome gluttony. By her not stopping the focusing on Yahusha's feet, she overcame laziness. By Yahusha saying your faith has saved you; go in peace, Yahusha claimed her as His own. No longer was this woman would be a host to the Seven Deadly Phantoms.
