God in a Bottle?

Then if anyone says to you, Behold, here is the Christ! Or, Here! Do not believe. For false christs and false prophets will rise up. And they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I tell you beforehand. Then if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness; do not go out. Behold, He is in the inner rooms; do not believe. For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man.
(Matthew 24:23-27)

There is much in this brief passage, but one thing that Roger Oakland (who recently did some teaching at the church I attend) mentioned that I'd like to pass on is this. In Matthew 24:26 the greek word for "inner rooms" (or secret chambers in the KJV) is "tameion" which could be interpreted as dispensary, a place of storage, a container.

So, in this day and age, when some one says to you, "Come and visit Jesus in our church. His prescence is in the Eucharist which we store in a Monstrance, where you can worship Him." Don't believe it, it is a lie. And don't be suprised if there are claims of healings and other miracles, as Jesus Himself warns us of great signs and wonders that would even lead the elect astray, if it were possible.

Any reasonable study of the Bible will show that Eucharist Adoration is flatly idolatry. God does not need a preist to conjure Jesus in a bottle in order for us to have a relationship with Him. We need merely turn from our sins, believe that Jesus is our salvation from sin, and accept Him as Lord of our lives.
