The Temptations Commentary The Falling Away.

 

Daniel 12:4

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

1 Timothy 4:1

 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

The first time someone ever took heed to seducing spirit and doctrine of devils is when Eve fell in Genesis 3:6

Genesis 3:6

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

2 Timothy 4:3

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.

1 Timothy 6:17

17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Proverbs 23:4

4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Keep in mind money is one of Satan's devices. Keep it simple. What is not of God is of an evil spirit.

The pattern of falling away is Satan then falling away. Satan then falling away.

Now let's watch the movie.

0:48 Singing became the most important thing in his life. Not GOD. 

Matthew 12:34

34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

4:42 The first idle word. 

Matthew 12:36

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

6:08 "Let's say grace." Interesting for anyone that knows me knows I recognize numbers. Notice right after a satanic moment at 6:08 mark it seemed as the LORD was with them. 

6 8 are the numbers of God renewing something after Satan just finished destroying something. Interesting. Coincidence? Anyways. Let's continue. 

The song is about lust at 6:20 

James 3:15

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

14:00 More sensuality. Also is takes place in 1960 68 years later is rapture.

19:56 Smoking & Al (Bones) was drunk

  Romans 8:13 

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

(Okay right here I'm starting to get out of order, but notice when the song Come On was sang originally and Otis Met Johnnie May Matthews it was Satan using the woman over the man for money. Otis sold his respect for money. He was not steadfast.)

24:35 Paul is sober before Satan gets to him.

27:00 The car is is the standard of the world.

27:00--27:44--28:13 She took offense. And she left. Satanic.

Matthew 24:10

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

29:39--30:00 Blue was deceiving.

31:10 The reuniting false hope. All hope without the LORD Jesus is false hope.

33:40 David Ruffin before Satan overly messed him up. Take notes.

33:50--33:18 36:43 Come up with new name. The beginning of the falling away. That came from an ungrateful spirit. 33:18 They prayed to the LORD. Paul is still sober. They literally used the spirit of the falling away as their name. The Temptations.

Matthew 6:13

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

37:00 Song it is song about repenting, but as unto their mother not unto the LORD.

39:10 Temptations forever. The irony nowadays that I know just how bad that is....Wow. Satan locked them in at this point. They celebrated not as unto the LORD, but their own success.

39:39 Outside of wedlock.

42:40 That song is about love that is feeling, and not knowing. That's a satanic song. 

45:40--46:17 Paul did not understand Al's evil. Al's natural lack there of natural affection was starting to increase as he started to fall away. Right here. There's temptations in this movie alright.

Romans 1:31

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

46:55 The increase of false hope. Moving on from what just happened.

48:28 David Ruffin is still not fallen away.

50:50--51:14 David Ruffin speaking on his back story. One who has a past can choose to turn to the LORD or leave.

52:44 "The Way Do the Things You Do"

54:48--5:25 They were married after the pregnancy. 55:25 Paul's first temptation. Satan was right there.

55:45 Lustful temptations

2 Timothy 2:22

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

58:19 Racial division. They were without understanding. The root of the problem is sin.

59:08 Caught. Satan divides. Sin is only good for a season.

Hebrews 11:25

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

1:00:10 Paul fell away and started to drink. Notice the praying stopped and it was at the beginning of the video, but quickly declined.

2 Thessalonians 2:3

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

1:02:20--1:03:00 David Ruffin felt something was right in his life for once.

Proverbs 14:12

 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

1:05:53 The results of following Satan.

1:06:16 The results of following Satan.

1:08:04 Notice David Ruffin's vehicle looked more fancy. His inflated ego started to increase

right there. That's a sign of Satanic spirit. Pay attention.

1:08:34-- 1:09:52 David Ruffin started missing rehearsals and you can see him falling away more. He is becoming increasingly wicked.

1:13:32 David Ruffin started to fall away even more.

1:13:26--1:14:30 David Ruffin loved his self and did not care about the ones around him.

Notice when they started to walk away he, started to fight his falling away a little (later in the movie he let's it out).

2 Timothy 3:2

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

1:15:53 Notice Eddie has a heart for David Ruffin who is betraying them. This begins his falling away. One will notice this pattern throughout the movie.

Jeremiah 17:9

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

1:16:51--1:17:05 The biggest black group in the business. Paul's fear was right here. He resorted to drinking. His temptation to drink increased right there as resort to calm his spirit of fear. He now has 2 issues. The falling away increased.

2 Timothy 1:7

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1:18:25 David Ruffin caved into a spirit of greed.

1:18:47 Notice how Eddie swapped up from his original statement. He was annoyed by David Ruffin's actions, but once again listened to his desperately wicked heart.

1:20:30 100% fall away complete for David Ruffin right there. Coincidence? They sang a song called "Losing You" right after. Satan cares about no one. 

1:23:22 He went from self-loving to getting rid of their name. It's never enough with Satan.

John 10:10

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

1:24:54 He did not feel quilty. Instead he defended his self.

Proverbs 16:14

18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Pt. 2 

They're praying still

0:40 Tempations forever even after David got kicked out. Their words mean nothing. All is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 1:2

2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

3:04:00 David Ruffin take slightly back to his sense, but now with a lot more pride.

3:46 David Ruffin selfishly takes the spot light. He does not know how to confront righteously.

Another coincidence? He was singing "I know you want to leave me, but I refuse to let you go."

5:44 Eddie is still following his desperately wicked heart.

6:26 David Ruffin could not hold it in. Head arrogance inflated again.

8:16 Paul's drinking increased even more. When he drank the 2nd time in this movie it was out of fear, that defense drinking became now he's just doing it because it is in his spiritual nature.

10:06

1 Peter 1:13

13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

12:12 He took the shot despite his health. 

Proverbs 14:12

12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

 

14:11 Paul drunk on stage. Falling away increasing.

14:54 Eddie followed his heart, which is desperately wicked.

15:35 Deceiving the audience. Not the first time in music history. It happens a lot.

2 Timothy 3:13

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

18:26 Eddie was following his heart. He did not care about the facts.

19:21-- Eddie went to David Ruffin of all people. The conversation David Ruffin had with Eddie is an evil seed planter. (Later Eddie falls away from the group based off his feelings.)

20:33 Eddie lives after his flesh.

20:48 Paul is messed up drinking at this point.

25:10 Just like that Eddie fell away following his heart, and listening to the false seed David Ruffin planted in him.

29:20 Notice no one is turning to the LORD. Sin nature.

32:00 He took offense.

Mathew 24:10

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

33:30-39:30-Song Eddie and David started to get back together. Symbolic. 36:33 Drinking problem gotten even worse. 

39:30 Paul Killed his self. Drinking one's self to death and killing his self is a seducing spirit.

That's 1 temptation down.

44:44 Satan initiated.

45:05--45:30 The thief came to steal, and destroy. He changed his mind about the killing part when he recognized.

51:20 Results of sin even after he got his shots more than his doctor's recommendations.

55:55 David Ruffin and Eddie reunited. Coincidence?

58:03 Conversation Eddie mentions David Ruffin's arrogance. 

58:31 David Ruffin is stuck in his arrogance and is addicted to drugs, which is messing him up.

59:40 David Ruffin acted upon his moral conscious.

1:02:06 

1 Corinthians 6:19

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1:06:35 Another one dies. The world is starting to crumble even more since Paul's death.

1:09:27 David Ruffin goes back to the  seducing spirit of drugs.

1:10:09 Notice there were 7 Temptations. The LORD blessed it. Including Paul there were 8 which is the number of the new beginning. At this point there was 6 which is Satan's number.

1:11:51 The cost of evil.

1:29:49 The awards are vanity. Temptations forever.

1:13:10 He seemed as if he was without forgiveness. This is before the days were like today. At least the manager forgave at 1:13:34

2 Timothy 3:2

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

 1:15:19 Wrong crowd equals death. Satan got his 2nd Temptation.

1:16:55 Satan got Eddie.

1:17:21  "I'm proud of ya'll"

2 Timothy 3:2

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

1:20:25 And just like that the final one was dead.

It's sad knowing all them died, but don't mourn as the mourners do. My dad would say were they saved?

I hope they were saved, but based off the fruits of this move...

Only the LORD lives. All death is a result of Satan deceiving.

1:23:45 Human sentiment. 

Make sure your life is not just filled with deep sentimental value, but with the everlasting gift which is the Eternal life through Jesus Christ the LORD and Savior.
