The Mad Hatter

The term "Mad Hatter" is popularly recognized from the character described in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. He was the partner of the March Hare at the Mad Tea Party. Lewis Carroll did not invent the phrase, although he did create the characters. The phrases "mad as a hatter" and "mad as a March hare" were common at the time (1865) Lewis Carroll wrote Alice. The phrase "mad as a hatter" had been in common use in 1837, almost 30 years earlier. The Hatter and the Hare also reappear in Alice Through the Looking Glass as the King's messengers, Hatta and Haigha.

"In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad." "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be, said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Hatters really did go mad. The chemicals used in hat-making included mercurous nitrate, used in curing felt. Prolonged exposure to the mercury vapors caused mercury poisoning. Victims developed severe and uncontrollable muscular tremors and twitching limbs, called "hatter's shakes". Other symptoms included distorted vision and confused speech. In advanced cases, hatters developed hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms.

And what does this Alice in Wonderland character have to do with spiritual matters? You will be surprised! We have learned that all men are “crowned with thorns†as fast as they are born into this world and given their personal “crossâ€Â. This is part of the passion God gave to all His human offspring as illustrated in the crucifixion of Jesus. We have also learned that “briars and thorns†are references for evil spirits. These thorn-“taresâ€Â, puncture the mind with bad advice; they project wicked pictures and sinful instructions as thought scenarios; and they give men wild, tormenting dreams as nightmares. They also project lustful porn scenes in the mind at the sight of an attractive person. They stimulate the sex-nerves and give men wet-dreams in attempts to snare men with Babylon’s wine of fornication, Revelation 17:1-6. Truly we reside in hell! It is these head-demons that crown each human head as a “crown of thornsâ€Â. By this means they reign over and control men in all nations, languages, tongues and people, Revelation 13:4-6. I have seen some European crowns with a velvet or felt-like cloth material lining giving it the appearance of a bejeweled hat.

Devils are VERY MAD at God for throwing them out of Heaven and damning their entire family for total annihilation and termination by fire. They are expert at getting revenge. They cannot touch God. But the children of God are born into flesh and blood and they are TARGETS for devils and outlets for their revenge.

Revelation 12:12. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Psalm 69:7. Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. 8. I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. 9. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

Romans 8:16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

So the crown of thorns is a VERY MAD HAT!

2 Corinthians 10:4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6. And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Our warfare with the kingdom of darkness is a mental war … and men seem to be on the losing end!

Isaiah 1:4. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers (demonic tares), children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. 5. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 6. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

Psalm 14:2. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

And devils are very pleased with their success against human beings! They have bragged about it before God!

Isaiah 47:5. Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. 6. I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 7. And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. 8. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

Isaiah 10:12. Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 13. For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: 14. And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 15. Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

This is the epitome of vain boasting and great folly before the eyes of God! Listen to this flagrant audacity and foolishness!

Revelation 13:4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9. If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Devils have a great surprise! I am able to make WAR against them and I am not here to lose! Now I will show you my credentials from my Father!

Jeremiah 50:43. The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 44. Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? 45. Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 46. At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

Revelation 17:1. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

Revelation 18:1. And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 5. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

Eli Jah, who is the Most High and the Supreme Judge is mocking the powers of darkness in the GOOD NEWS documents. In this document He has likened the “crown of thorns†to a hat in the Mad Hatter allegory. And indeed this likeness fits. Devils are MAD at Him and they take out their wrath and bitterness against God’s seed of mankind. Thus “the reproaches of those that reproach thee have fallen on usâ€Â, the children. Alice said, “I don’t want to be madâ€Â! The rabbit told her, “You are mad, otherwise you would not be hereâ€Â! Most Christians would say words similar to Alice’s words. We don’t want to be sinful and filthy even though God said “There is none good! No! Not oneâ€Â! That is a terrible indictment for Christians who presume they are holy because of their works and faith.

Revelation 13:7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

We are all “concluded†in failure and we needed a perfect “delivererâ€Â, a Savior, a New Covenant named Jesus Christ!

You are aware that people in authority often multi-task by performing different functions. When a mother is a bread-winner and comes home to be a “soccer mom,†and when her husband come home she becomes a wife, housekeeper, and cook! We say she “wears different hatsâ€Â. Well our crown of thorns also multi-task and they too become a variety of MAD HATS! When they reign over men they become kings, a filthy crown. To mislead men they must instruct them in performing evil works as false teachers. They became the hat of a teacher. If you have displeased them and they judge that you should be punished for your actions, they will cause some pain or cause an accident so you will be hurt. They become the hat of an oppressor. All those hooked on dope and other drugs wear such demonic MAD HATS! For men who want to find God, devils become false Gods, fake Christs, imitation Holy Spirits, and angels of light who give men dreams and visions and strong delusions to believe lies. For these persons their crown of thorns becomes a priest’s miter. After all you cannot break this Word matter how much it disturbs you … and it is very disturbing!

“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nationsâ€Â, Revelation 13:7. I did not like it either when I understood it! I was so vexed and disenchanted that I began to question and re-examine every thing I believed to be true hopefully to discover where I was deceived. I did not want to de strongly deluded to believe lies and overcome by the Dragon. I needed my Father to open my eyes and show me the real truth. I asked Him to destroy the deceit of the MAD HATTERS crowning my head. And He did just that. The devils on my head have been overcome by my angelic “crown of stars†and there is no reversing course into darkness again.

The world men live in is like Wonderland. We live in a dream-world of unreality. We do not know our names, our heritage, nor do we know our royal birth as a FAMILY. Instead we are slaves to an invisible kingdom of prisoners and what seems to be real to men is in reality fantasy. We participate in a world-wide tea-party and many men are so wise that they do not know they are MAD!

1 Corinthians 2:6. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

So keep this analogy in mind. There are invisible MAD HATTERS on the head of each human being. They enjoy dragging men down a rabbit-holas soon as we are born and begin to understand. The problem is getting out of “wonderland†(the world). And only the King of Kings can deliver us from it! Otherwise, this world and this life is just a “house of cardsâ€Â!
