The Possession Of Nakedness

By David J. Stewart

Leviticus 18:5-6, “Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.”

       Your nakedness is yours, don't reveal it to anybody except your spouse!!! The Bible speaks of one's nakedness as a possession in the Book of Leviticus. Notice in our text Verse the phrase “their nakedness.” Nakedness belongs to one's spouse. If you're not married, than your nakedness belongs to you and God forbids you from showing it to another. Oh, how wicked is our world today!!!

“Leviticus” relates to the work of the priestly tribe of Levi. God divided the Israelites into twelve tribes. God chose one of the twelve tribes to do the work of the priest in the tabernacle, leading the people, caring for the holy of holies, the ark of the covenant and doing the work of sacrificing lambs for the sins of the people (which represented the coming Lamb of God, the Messiah, Who would one day wash men's sins away by His own precious blood.

Thank God, Jesus Christ came 2,000 years ago and died, was buried and rose from the dead. The perfect Lamb of God was slain on a cross for the sins of the world, and His blood shed to pay for our sins, applied to the mercy seat in Heaven (Hebrews 9:12,22-24).

Morality was paramount in importance to the tribes of Israel, especially to the priestly tribe of Levi, holy and sanctified unto God, who were examples to the rest of the tribes. The tribe of Levi were stewards over God's people. The Book of Leviticus sets forth God's Laws and moral code for Israel (and humanity). We read in Leviticus 18:11-19...

  1. Leviticus 18:11, “The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.”
  2. Leviticus 18:12, “Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.”
  3. Leviticus 18:13, “Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.”
  4. Leviticus 18:14, “Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.”
  5. Leviticus 18:15, “Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.”
  6. Leviticus 18:16, “Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.”
  7. Leviticus 18:17, “Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.”
  8. Leviticus 18:18, “Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.”
  9. Leviticus 18:19, “Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.”

Notice that we continue reading such statements as “her nakedness” and in reference to marriage, “thy brother's nakedness.” She is his wife, not yours. Your brother's wife's nakedness belongs to him alone and is sinful for you or anyone else to see. The Bible is speaking about deliberately showing your nakedness to someone other than your spouse. The Bible forbids seeing the nakedness of any near kin. As you just read, the Bible goes into detail about family relationships. It is sinful for a man to se his father or mother naked. It is a sin for a man or woman to see a sister or brother's wife or husband naked. It is sinful to see a sister or brother naked...

Leviticus 18:5-6, “Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.”

One of the steps in the degeneration of a civilization is worship of the body and public nudity. Dr. Jack Hyles (1926-2001) explains the downfall of a society in his needful sermon, UNISEX. Romans chapter one gives us the progressive downfall of a culture...

  1. Not Glorifying God

  2. Becoming Foolish

  3. Becoming Wise In Your Own Conceit

  4. Body Worship

  5. Sex Perversion

  6. Homosexuality (the lowest you can get)

America today in 2012 is at the lowest point that a culture can get!!! One of the signs of the end times is the unisex movement in our country. Some have called it a sexual wilderness. Let's continue reading from Leviticus and notice the connection between child sacrifice (abortion) and nakedness. Also notice that God calls all these nakedness and sexual sins “confusion”...

Leviticus 18:20-23, “Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her. And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.”

Bestiality, homosexuality and incest are sexual sins that cause CONFUSION. These sins will mess with your head. God instituted marriage between one man and one woman. This is normal. Anything else is confusion, not following God's original intent and purpose. We live in a VERY confused culture today in the United States. Hawaii, Florida and California are nakedness jungles, where most women have no reverence nor fear of God. They mock and laugh at morality, do as they please, dead in sins while they party. Judgment day is coming (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Hebrews 9:27).

Notice in Revelation 16:15 that the Bible associates nakedness with shame. Revelation 16:15, “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Nakedness is a sin! I recently heard a young whorish woman on television say that God made her sexy and; therefore, she is going to strut her sexy body for all to see. May I say, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh! That young woman is a fool. Anything can be justified if you disregard the holy Bible and “DO AS THOU WILL” as taught by the infamous satanist Aleister Crowley. Public nudity is wickedness!

1st Timothy 2:9 commands women to cloth themselves in “MODEST APPAREL.” It is a horrible sin for a woman to reveal her nakedness in public by wearing a bikini. Many women dress in bikinis and then are paranoid that a lustful man may lust upon them. Some men get jealous and angry when other men look upon their wives, and rightfully so; but if those women would stop sinning and put some clothes on their nakedness, there would be nothing to lust upon. Lust requires an immodestly dressed woman to complete. A lustful man ought to have to guess and image what a woman's body looks like, but if you take your clothes off, then he doesn't have to imagine anything, because your nakedness is seen by him.

You are just as guilty of adultery as he is because you encouraged the sin of lust by your whorish attire (Matthew 5:28). Prostitutes wear more clothing than girls and women at the beach do in skimpy bikinis. Mamas are so stupid when they let their little girls run around in their underwear. Then those mothers freak out when a pedophile kidnaps and molests their child. What do you expect? You never know what is going on in a person's mind.

I don't care if it's suicide music, booze, sexual lust, casino gambling or any other wickedness, a small percentage of people will become horrifying statistics. That's why these evils ought to be outlawed. Our society wouldn't need Amber Alerts if we got rid of the Hellivision in our homes that indoctrinate Americans with sexual lust and lasciviousness. Idiotic Americans would rather have hundreds-of-thousands of alcohol-related accidents every year than to ban the public sale of booze. We'll ban the Bible and prayer in America; but not booze, pornography and dirty dancing. You can teach children the lie of evolution (totally bull crap), but you can't teach them the Ten Commandments.

Only a total idiot or Godless fool wonders why America is so messed up today in 2012. We banned the Bible and prayer from children's lives in 1963. NO CHILD can survive 40-hours of atheist, humanist and Communist indoctrination per week at school. Is it any wonder why children today want to be Hollywood actors for a living, or a Bally dancer?
 

The Evils Of Bally Dancing

One Christian man told me that his son was graduating from an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church's school. I asked what his son is going to do next? His dad said that his son is going to New York to be a bally dancer. I didn't laugh and was very kind, but inside I was really sad. America's going to Hell and Christian's are sending their children to be bally dancers? The boy's mother is a bally dancer, so he's following in his mother's steps. I'll tell you, homosexuality and bally dancing are practically synonymous. God deliver us form sissies.

Bally dancers and nakedness are synonymous. It's the dirtiest, most lustful and immodest sport in the world. Women dance with their private area flashing in everyone's face, while she skates like a whore on the ice, exposing her crotch for all the world to see. Most bally dancing is sexually promiscuous on purpose to seduce the audience. It's evil in the sight of God. I spoke with one young lady and asked her what she wanted to be? She said a movie producer in Hollywood. This is the pathetic hope of America!

I've noticed that millions of parents EXPLOIT Christian schools, giving their child a private education in a protected environment, but then they encourage their child to pursue a secular career. It's not right. Don't parasite off Christianity! I've had numerous greedy people throughout my life attempt to recruit me as a Christian Soul Winner to sell insurance, Amway or telephone service. Since I was good with witnessing the Gospel to people, they figured I'd be good at making them money as a pawn in their pyramid scam. I hate pyramid scams. Mainly because the people on top make hundreds-of-millions or billions of dollars (like Amway), while the people on the bottom make a tiny fraction of the wealth. I've always said “no” and turned them away. I'm not going to be exploited. I'm not for sale!!!
 

Homosexuality On The Rise Due To Lack Of Bible Preaching

Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” This one Scripture tells us what is wrong with America today. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Deuteronomy 8:3 and Matthew 4:4 teach that man shall not live by bread (food) alone, but by every Word (the Bible) which proceedeth out of the mouth of God. “They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him” (John 20:2). Christ and His Word are missing in American society today. Instead of teaching sound doctrine from the Bible, apostate ministers today are teaching psychology, self help and religion.

Satan has successfully taken the Lord away from people's lives by taking away THE TRUTH. Faith alone in Jesus alone is NOT the way of salvation. The Gospel is not that. The Biblical Gospel is that Jesus died, was buried and rose from the dead (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). There can be no salvation apart from the cross upon which Christ died. The burial officiates Christ's death, so none can claim He didn't really die. And Christ rising is nothing less than a wonderful miracle of God.

Homosexuality is a horrible sin which is becoming increasingly popular in America today. It was tragic and unprecedented when the state of New York legalized same-sex marriages in July of 2011. In November of 2011 Conan' O'Brien officiated the first Jewish Late Night gay marriage on television. It was a shameful event. In Wisconsin alone, a 2010 census revealed 13,000 same-sex couples living together. There are millions of homosexuals couples nationwide, especially in rebellious cultures like California.

The entire area of southern California is worse than wicked Sodom and Gomorrah. All around West Hollywood there are séances taking place, psychics everywhere, immorality and idolatry. I realized while there for surgery in 2009 that the TV shows: South Park, Family Guy and Bart Simpson are not just the work of a few sick minds; but rather, the outflow of an entire spiritually and mentally sick culture in the Los Angeles area. The people are just like the shows. Satan owns southern California lock, stock and barrel. Los Angeles is far more homosexual than San Francisco, Hollywood being ground zero.

There is nothing wrong with America today that couldn't be remedied by a generation being taught the Word of God. Without the Scriptures, we are a society lost at sea with no direction, no guidance and no lighthouse to bring us home safely to harbor.

Leviticus 19:29, “Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.”

"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." —James 4:4

Are you God's enemy, by being a friend of the world?

Lusts Of The Flesh


Helpful Christian Advice

       If you are struggling with sexually impure thoughts and pornography, I have some things to help you.

Psalms 119:11, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." You need to spend more time abiding in the Scriptures.

Psalms 119:9, "Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word." Memorize these three Scripture verses.

1st Peter 2:11, "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul."

Every Christian struggles with sin, as did the apostle Paul (Romans 7:14-25). I receive many emails from people seeking help with various issues. A man recently wrote to me and said that he struggles with pornography. We exchanged several emails. From reading your past e-mails, I see that you've just been saved for one year, so you are still growing much in grace. Don't beat yourself up too much, but purpose in your heart that with the Lord's help you're going to get the victory over pet sins. Everyone struggles in different areas of weakness, everyone!
