Abraham's descendants will be like the stars in heaven and the sands of the sea, but how? by y (Login Harpazo) Forum Owner Abraham’s descendants will be like the stars in heaven and the sands of the sea, but how? God hid Israel “within” the Gentile natures. Yvonne Gordon Forward My attempt with this book is to give a good and ready answer for why I believe the way I do and prove it with scripture. My belief is based on my experience of the “Coming of the Lord” which explained and fulfilled the Jewish feast days as well as the law and prophets to my soul. It is written Christ is the end-fulfillment of the law and the reason it is written this way is because when the Lord “is come” (present tense) within our flesh, our personal experience, the law is fulfilled in us and since the law is spiritual it moves us and leads us in all righteousness. How is the law fulfilled? Christ in us (our first resurrection and first-fruits of “every creature”) takes our spirit to the cross and here he joins us and makes us “one new Spirit” (second death and better resurrection). In Christ, God makes out of two, one new man. The cross takes away the enmity God put between the carnal mind (seed of the Serpent) and the soul (the seed of the woman-Jesus Christ). The experience of the “Lords coming” is the Spirit poured out on all flesh which is also the baptism into Jesus name, and it is also the “testimony/witness” of Jesus that brings with it the spirit of prophecy. Our young man (the new man or the Lord in us that is joined to our spirit at this time) will oracle prophesy through Aaron/Levi in us to build the house of God in us. Israel is the “new man” in us who was nothing more than “dead men’s bones” in our soul till our spirits “wills” were joined at the cross. The King of Israel is the “good will” of God who redeems Israel and delivers Israel to turn all ungodliness from Jacob at the “coming of the Lord” and this restores the Kingdom to Israel at their appointed time. The whole Bible is how God does this “work” in the gentile nature where he “scattered” Israel till the “end time” or last days, when they would be reveled at the coming of the Lord to that particular soul, to make all alive in the Last Adam, each man in his own order I Cor 15. Israel and Jesus Christ are revealed together because Jesus once again comes first to the “lost sheep” (desires for God) of the house of Israel. Israel must be judged first because Israel is the “house of God’ that is left desolate till the Jew in us says “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”. Mathew 24 explains the inner court or holy place is where the abomination of desolation is revealed. Antichrist sits here on God’s throne where he ought not to be. Jesus Christ dethrones antichrist in us and kicks him out of the heavens within where true spiritual warfare takes place in our soul. I prove this and much more with the “Word” opened up, revealed in my heart because the Word is engrafted in my heart just as it is foretold. I will give you a new heart and a new mind when I write my law within them. It is the heart the Lord considers and transforms with his very own Spirit, his very own “good will” in us that brings us “peace on earth”. We are both heaven and earth within our own experience. The Lord is the “righteous Spirit’ that is given to accomplish everything the Word was sent to accomplish and it will not return to God void. The Word brings us back with it and makes us one with the Word when we receive a new heart, a fleshly heart, the Word made flesh. I will also give my testimony/witness of how the Lord came to me and what happened in my experience before and after his coming to show a good and ready answer for why I believe the way I do at this point of my life. My experience of the first resurrection led me to the second death (crucified with Christ) and to the better resurrection, (me and Christ raised together to heavenly places) so I could work out my salvation on earth as it is in heaven. Introduction: After writing thousands of pages of my testimony/witness of Jesus the past 17 years, I didn’t think there was anymore to say, but recently I was prompted to write one more book, to edify those who have also received and will receive the ‘Revelation of Jesus Christ”. I didn’t understand the Bible till it was opened, till the “cover of Jesus Christ” came off and it came off during the Jewish Feast day of Yom Kippur of 1992. At this point I had a series of visions that explained the whole Bible and Jewish feast days to me in pictures, which is why God gives visions to those who have the spirit poured on their flesh. The visions are for the young men in us as the “dreams” are for the old man in us. The young man is the “new Man’ in Christ Jesus, but I didn’t know this either till my visitation. It is written... …Isa 62:5 For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee. In this scripture the LORD is the young man who marries the virgin of Israel because she brings him forth. Jesus said those who do the will of the Father will be his “mother, brother and sisters” and he meant all of the above in each person, because God is no respecter of persons. The young man in us is the “man-child” (who receives visions to lead the soul into sanctification). It is written and a child shall lead them, because this child first enters the Kingdom in us. Our young man in us resulted from our spirit and Christ, becoming “One Spirit” I Cor 6:17, “He who is joined to the Lord is “ONE Spirit”. It is one thing to be covered with fig leaves, but The Lord is our righteousness and the linen garment represents this cover and we are made one spirit. 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. I didn’t understand how God will bring us back to himself. I heard about the rapture, but Paul experienced the rapture (harpazo-caught up to God as the “Man-child is in Rev 12) and yet Paul was still on earth to bring that Gospel to the nations, the gentiles. Once I experienced my own rapture to Paradise after being crucified with Christ, I understood why Paul gloried in the cross and counted everything before it as dung. I understand why he received a new name, from Saul to Paul, because I too got my new name and access to the “Tree of life” so the leaves could heal the gentile part of me. I understood after my visitation that Israel is hidden in our gentile nature, revealed along with Jesus Christ in us and from that point the New Testament will be fulfilled in us. We will be able to renew our shattered mind, because God fulfilled the Law and prophets (first Covenant) in us through the “coming of the Lord” who revealed all hidden things of darkness in us. I understood how each man would then receive his “Praise from God” because Judah means “praise of God” and we who enter into the Kingdom have the “Key of David” (King) which now makes us a “Jew”, one of the circumcised hearts that understand knowledge. Now we are able to confess the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh, our flesh, to reveal how the Word is made flesh and dwells among us. Day 1 Rom 1:16 ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Paul explains how the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, because the Jew in us is the ‘circumcised heart” and God looks first to the heart from which the mouth speaks to renew the mind, to the Greek (and all nations that will come up to keep the feast of Tabernacles). Gentile nations are the mind, while the Jew and Israel are the “will” within the heart. Therein is the righteousness of God revealed, (both in the new heart and new mind) from faith to faith: The JUST shall live by this faith. Who are the Just? Those who are in the first resurrection, those who have Christ revealed in them, those in whom all the law and prophets are fulfilled by Christ in them - the first fruits of all creation. There is a resurrection of the Just and the unjust at the time of our first resurrection, and the unjust is the spirit of antichrist who is also revealed at this time, but only so he can be destroyed in us, go out from us, to show that he was never of us. The spirit of the world, the antichrist spirit, is the spirit in the children of disobedience that we all were before we received Christ, but now that we have Christ, we have the “perfect law of liberty” engrafted in our heart, because we have Christ in us the fulfillment of the law. Now we are keepers of the law through Grace, because Christ in us (our new and good will) fulfills the law and the prophets. The testimony or witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, Revelation 19:10, hence, we have the spirit of prophecy to build the “house of God” which is our soul (our new heart and mind) given to us by grace, received by faith forever more. We will have two souls within us, a gentile-animal soul and the soul of Israel (nashama-breath of God, the candle of the LORD that searches the inward parts). Israel is the body God prepared for him-self to come through, the woman who would bring forth Jesus Christ, the “King of Israel and the Jews”. Since God looks to the heart first, it is written, grace is poured out on the house of David first. David is the “man after Gods own heart” in us. Jesus Christ in us is the root (good root) and offspring (new Man) of David, the King of Israel forever more. Receiving the “key of David” at the level of the sixth candlestick, (sixth level of the church) meaning “love of the brothers”, means we are able to open what none can open, (the door to heaven, Jesus Christ) and shut what none can shut (our own self, our ego). Only God is able to do these things in us and he gives us the “keys” to the Kingdom so we can enter into his Righteousness and have all things added unto us. Day 2 Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn. Receiving the “key of David” means the virgin of Israel in us receives the ‘favor of God’, and through bringing forth Emmanuel, the first-fruits of “every creature”, we experience the “first resurrection”. “Christ in us” is our hope for glorification even as we are justified by faith and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. We become a Jew (from the house of Judah) for salvation is of the Jew. The lighting of the seven candlesticks is done by the “Good will of God” in us, Jesus Christ who takes away the enmity between the “seed of the woman” (Christ the seed of Abraham) and the seed of the serpent (the carnal mind or harlot) through the power of the cross. Why the cross? It is salvation to those who have experienced being “crucified with Christ”, hence their old man is dead so the “body of sin” can also be destroyed: Israel within can be sanctified as the woman taken into the wilderness by the wings of a great eagle, who gathers where the dead body lies. Israel is the house of Joseph and Judah together (Bethlehem Ephrata) where Christ is born. Here God makes out of Ephraim (first son of Joseph) and Judah, one stick in his hands. Here Israel and Judah are made one Kingdom again under one king, the KING of Kings (Will of wills) to lead Israel into sanctification so they can be a “light to the nations/gentiles” they are scattered within. Here it is fulfilled, the renewing of our mind and heart together by the guidance of this “man-child”, the Lord with us O’ Emmanuel. Mary is told, the sword (word of God) will pierce her so the hearts of many in Israel could be revealed. The virgin of Israel is the “good ground” the seed must fall into (Mark 4, the parable of parables) so it can bring forth 30 (new will) 60 (new heart) and 100 fold return (new mind). Mary never knew a man; she is kept from union with Satan, the spirit of the old man. The virgin of Israel within us will only know one man, the New Man Jesus Christ, God with us. She will enable us to understand how we become Jesus mother because we bring him forth, and his brother because we are one of the many sons Jesus brings to glory and his sister his spouse. Jesus Christ the “good will” of God in us that brings peace on earth in us and will marry our heart that will become a light to renew our mind. Our new mind will eat from the leaves on the tree of light to heal the nations, the gentile part of our nature. Paul, a Jew, Hebrew, Israelite and Roman/gentile, is a new man who is neither male or female, Jew or Greek, but ultimately a new creation in Christ and this is and was the destiny for the Church from the beginning. Here is why the Catholic’s say that Mary is the immaculate conception, because God keeps this ‘virgin” from evil so that when the “Holy Spirit” overshadows her, she can bring forth the “sinless Lamb” that takes away the “sin of the world” (antichrist spirit in all of us). Day 3 Luk 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. The man-child in us grows to lead us, hence it is written, and a child shall lead them. Once Christ is born or raised in us, he goes about doing good in us because Christ in us is our source, our New Spirit filled with wisdom and it is Christ in us that brings us the Grace of God for us to live by. Christ is formed into Man and his Name is Jesus, by God himself in us (let US make Man in “OUR” image and likeness). God and his creation (we are the new creation) together form “Man” from the spirit that he pours out on us as the “Free gift” of grace, and this is the GOSPEL of peace or the good news of peace in us and for us-his body and soul. Every desire that we yield to Christ in us, will marry that desire to his Will (Lamb of God). As we submit all our desire to our husband, he will bring our fulfillment, and this Grace in us makes us a New Man, a new creation that will not be able to sin anymore. We are divided at the “coming of the Lord” because as Hebrews 6 explains, the Word is sharper than any two edged sword, dividing even soul from spirit. The old spirit in us is the antichrist, (old man), and our soul is severed from this antichrist spirit so Christ can overcome him in us. How is he overcome? Evil is overcome by good and Christ is the good will in us that overcomes the evil will or old will in us, the spirit of the old man. Once our old man/will is crucified with Christ, it becomes “one new will” or one new Man, hence he makes out of “one Lump” (person) and out of twain (two wills, two men) “ONE” new Man, one new will through the cross. It is the cross that takes away the “enmity” God put between the seed of the woman (Jesus Christ) and the seed of the serpent (the carnal mind). The cross truly is foolishness to the Greek, who seeks wisdom, and it does stumble the Jew who seeks a sign, but the cross fulfills both the “sign” the Jew seeks for and the wisdom in us once we experience taking up our cross and following Jesus to the place of the skull/bone. Here the bones of Israel are gathered into a New Man, even the whole house of Israel into “one Man, through the spirit of prophecy, which comes through the witness/testimony of Jesus. Rev 19:10 Jesus Christ in us regenerates our spirit which is our will and saves our soul (new heart and mind) and he heals our body, which is then his body, his Church, his election forever more. If God gave us Christ, will he not also give us all things with him? Yes, if we seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness (Jesus Christ is our righteousness), all things will be added unto us, because all things belong to him. Day 4 Jhn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (in the midst of us) and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Have we become a ‘witness of Jesus’? Have we beheld his glory as of the “only begotten’ of the Father full of grace and truth? I didn’t behold him, or rather the “spirit of Elijah” didn’t point him out to me (baptism by water which is a baptism from heaven) till I was 40 years old. Water baptism is not of men and it is not a ‘carnal ordinance’. We don’t have to be dunked in literal water anymore than the fire baptism is with literal fire. I had been a Christian since age 14, but it took 26 more years to behold that Lamb (pure will of God) so that I too could experience the “wedding supper of the lamb’ and have my name written in the Lambs book of life. I didn’t understand why Peter was told to feed the Lambs and sheep and “other sheep” Jesus talked about in John that were not of the first fold, till I understood what these were in me. The Lamb in me was my new will, the good will that was able to lead all the “sheep” or desires for God of both my heart and mind into the sheepfold. The new and pure Lamb of God is the “will or Man-child” who would lead everything that was created for him and by him to its final conclusion. I would have to experience the truth to really understand and know the truth in order for it to set me free. I didn’t know before the spirit of truth was poured out on me that I could be led into all truth. I thought (not Gods thoughts but mine) that I would never fully know the whole truth so help me God while I was in my human body. The Word tells me different, but we can only accept and hear the Word to the level our “ear” is made by God and it is true that God makes the eye, ear, nose and mouth on our new face, the face that will be facing him at his appearing. Before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ into my soul, I lived on the authored faith of God, but after his coming, the Lord brought all hidden things of darkness into the light. Everything hidden was truly revealed, both good and evil so evil could be overcome by Good. Now I live by the “finished faith” of God in me, the ‘faith of the Son of God” in me. Day 5 Act 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. I didn’t understand an apostle was one who had a “witness of Jesus” till I received my witness, till my eye beheld the “Lamb that takes away the Sin of the world”. Great power is given in this witness of the resurrection because it is also our “first resurrection”, Christ in me is raised. Great GRACE is upon the house of David from the tribe of Judah first because Judah represents the “eye” and skull (head bone) of the New Man, whose bones are gathered by the spirit of prophecy and given LIFE once again - even the whole house of Israel. Jesus said a spirit does not have flesh and bone, but his new body does, even though it does not have human blood. Christ’s blood is the Holy Spirit even as his body is the “bread” of life from heaven. The Word came from heaven and it will not return void but it will have accomplished what it is purposed to do when it comes to be engrafted into our heart as the “perfect law of liberty”. It is written, the “Word was added unto daily” speaking of the people of the Word. When the Word has found its place in our heart, the heart is made new with a “righteous” Spirit, and this is the Lord, the second man who comes from heaven to us. The pure in heart will see God indeed, even as the poor in spirit (those souls whose spirit has been severed from them by the sword of the Word) will come to understand that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them. The soul that sins shall surely die, but the soul who “knows” the right hand of the Lord who revealed his arm to that soul, shall live. The “sin” (not sins) but sin of the world is removed from him because the sin is due to the spirit of antichrist that will not “confess” that Jesus “is come” (present tense) in the flesh. Understanding that the Word made flesh is now dwelling among us is to “know” as we are known. It is to understand how Gods love and law are one and fulfilled in us through the coming of the Lord to his people. Day 6 Act 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. I was surely glad when I saw the Grace of God. I was able to speak from the abundance of my heart now and confess as I “believed” in my heart unto the salvation of my soul. The fire in my bones prevented me from being quiet about it for many years. I had to shout from the rooftop what I saw in the privacy of my visitation. It didn’t matter how others received me or treated me for it, because there was nothing more important than confession and proclamation of the Gospel of peace towards the whole world God sent me back to. I had read how the “everlasting gospel” would be preached from the angels in the mid-heavens, but I didn’t understand we who were in the first resurrection would be those angels, those messengers of God because of our “witness of Jesus” which is the spirit of prophecy poured out on all flesh in the last days. I had to understand the “last days” or last generation of a soul comes at an “hour” he knows not, which is why Jesus said “be ready always”. I didn’t understand every soul has his own time to “stand” before the judgment seat of Christ to get the reward for what he does in the body (of Christ) from that time forward. I also didn’t understand why judgment must come first to the “house of God” (Israel hidden within the gentile nature). There were many things that I did not understand till the Lord visited me, but I realized too that Jesus said there were many things he could not tell his disciples till they were ready to hear them, and being made ready to hear, means having a spiritual ear and God makes that ear even as he makes the whole New Man, the whole “house of Israel” by forming him with his “Spirit” (of Christ) within him. As the soul cleaves to the Lord, she becomes “one” body with his head and he becomes her head to make the soul “Man”, no longer male or female, no longer Greek or Jew, but a new Man (heaven) and a New Creation (earth) where righteousness dwells. Day 7 Act 18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: Act 18:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. Achaia means “trouble” in Greek, and I too was disposed to pass here once I experienced my own personal rapture (being caught up) to God’s throne after my spirit was made one with his Spirit. It is written that he who is “joined” to the Lord is “one Spirit” and no longer twain or two spirits. I didn’t understand how the Jew in me was the ‘circumcised heart” with the perfect law of liberty. The Jew in me was mightily convinced through this experience with the Word that Jesus was indeed the Christ. This and many more things were revealed by the “Spirit of truth” the comforter after my first understanding of Jesus was cut off in me. (It is expedient that I go so the Comfoter can come, the Spirit of Truth that leads into all truth). I needed grace so much more than before my experience because the “great tribulation” follows the rapture just as the rapture (catching the man-child to the throne) comes after the “travail of the woman”, the bringing forth of the “man-child. Jacobs’s trouble doesn’t end with the descent and redemption and deliverance of Israel by Jesus Christ (Romans 11) but continues till the woman has overcome the great flood (of the Word) Satan casts out to destroy the woman in the wilderness. It was good to understand how my soul was this woman, and how my Spirit was now “ONE” and no longer two because I was joined to Christ by the “cross”. I was not happy to realize Satan’s “tail” his “end” and messengers were cast to the earth to buffet the woman Israel in me until I fully received the “Grace that IS Sufficient” just as Gods strength (joy) was made perfect in my own weakness. Everything Paul and all apostles (set apart witnesses) spoke of I had to experience and this is why I finally understood how Satan can no longer deceive the elect. They have experienced the “coming of the Lord” into their very own soul and experienced the “cross” that took away the enmity between their old man and his seed (the carnal mind) and himself. The very enmity God put between the ‘Seed of the woman” and the seed of the serpent is taken away at the cross. Halleluiah God is no longer angry with us. God’s wrath only remains on us till we are no longer children of disobedience but instead become children of the day and of the Light. It is written, don’t judge anything before its time, till the Lord come and brings all hidden things to light and then, every “man” shall have his PRAISE from God. Judah means “praise of God”. After the Lord “is come” (present tense), eEvery man will have his Jew (become a circumcised heart). Day 8 Act 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Grace is able to build us up and give us our inheritance among all the “great cloud of witnesses” that have seen Jesus and have been baptized into his name by the baptism of fire and the Holy Spirit. Israel is this woman who is sanctification in the wilderness. I thank God daily that he did not take his “Holy Spirit” from me even though it was often severe on Israel in me during the sanctification process. All gentiles are justified by faith, but Israel (the woman, the soul) must be sanctified (made holy even as God is holy) through the “keeping of the law”. The only way Israel is able to both keep and remember the law and “enter her rest, her Sabbath” is to be remembered by God so she can remember her first love. Israel is wooed by God back into the wilderness where God promises to give her the “valley of Achor” (tribulation) for a door of hope. Israel must endure the chastening of the Lord in order to be a son again and it is written, the heart of the sons will be turned back to their father and the Father’s heart will be turned back towards his son. God himself said Israel is his son and Ephraim is his firstborn. God marries Israel as a young man marries his virgin; yet it says, God as the bridegroom marries his sons. We see the Lamb of God at the wedding supper of the Lamb, the “marriage of the will and the desire” (sheep) to become one again in eternity, even though they lost one another in time. Paul explains to redeem the ‘time’ for the days are evil, but eternity where “time is no more”, brings the answer to all desire; fulfillment with the light that is the “life of man”. The word of Gods grace does come with Jesus Christ and the truth that comes with this “comforter” leads into all truth, and this will set us free from sin and lack, filling us with the promise of Abraham the father of “many nations” forever more. Day 9 Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Israel is hidden among the nations. At the apocalypse, the Revelation of Jesus Christ to my soul, I realized Jesus Christ comes first again to the “Lost sheep of the house of Israel” as their King (New and good will). He is born “King of the Jew” but it isn’t till he dies “King of the Jew” that his “own” know him even though the lost sheep/desires of the house of Israel receive him first. It is the harlot who enters the Kingdom first and Israel became the harlot (carnal mind) God woos back to himself as we read in Hosea. Once the soul receives her King, making her a holy and royal priesthood built up a house of God made of living stones, she will follow him wherever this Lamb goes. The great Shepherd of the sheep is known by Israel because he gives them the second birth. The sheep know his voice because they are the “sheep” (desires) that are made for God and only God. All animals are a metaphor of desires for our animal or carnal soul, but sheep are the metaphor for desire to follow Jesus because they hear his voice and no other will they follow. Receiving Grace and apostleship (becoming a witness) go together as we read, “ye shall look upon him whom you have pierced and mourn for him as a “mother mourns her only Son” (Yechida). Why did Israel finally receive the Grace that was promised to her? Israel receives Grace poured out on her for OBEDIENCE to the Faith among (in the midst, middle) of all gentiles/nations. Israel is sown-scattered among the nations, among all gentile natures and this is why they are hidden till the day they are revealed to themselves by the coming of their “King”. (Good will of YHVH) born within their own soul. Jesus said he came in his “Fathers Name” and he came to reveal and hallow this name. Jesus means “the salvation of Jehovah-YHVH” in Hebrew. When YHVH comes to dwell among his people, it is in the heart that he sits, for the heart is Israel, the heart is the heavenly house left desolate till the “Jew” says, blessed is he who comes in the Name of the LORD-YHVH. The heavens are his throne where we sit with him, “within him” till ill he makes all his enemies his footstool and the earth is his footstool. When all sons have been redeemed from the earth even as they have been brought to glory by their great and mighty God, he will walk on the earth as his footstool even as he dwells in the heavens within Israel his inheritance. Isaiah 19:19. Day 10 Rom 1:7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Israel is scattered among all nations and the witness we have is Paul, a Hebrew of Hebrews and Jew from the tribe of Benjamin is also a Roman Citizen. So it is till God gathers Israel back to himself again from the four corners of the earth. Rev 7. Israel is gathered first and the first tribe gathered is Judah, the eyes and skull of the New Man, Gen 49. The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy that builds the “house of God” and lest God through prophecy (if any man speak let him speak as an oracle of God) be the builder of the house, the workmen work in vain, (with the carnal mind or vessel of vanity). It is written the carnal mind is enmity with God and does not receive the things of God so everything built by that mind is a house built on sand, while the house built on the “rock” is a house built on Christ himself, the chief corner stone the carnal builders rejected. Saint in the Bible is one who has been sanctified by the “Holy Spirit” and sanctification belongs to Israel, (the elect/chosen) even though justification is for all the gentile natures Israel is hidden within so both can be saved together, Romans 11. It is written that Israel fell for the salvation of the gentiles because the gentiles are grafted into the “fallen branches of Israel”. Yet when the King of Israel, the great deliverer turns all ungodliness from Jacob, it is the resurrection from the dead for both the Jew and the Greek or for both Israel and all the nations in whom she has been scattered. John asks and is told the “great crowd” that he sees after Israel is gathered in Revelation 7, are from all nations, tongues and came out of the “great tribulation”. And he said to me, these are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. The blood of the Lamb is the Holy Spirit that runs through the “pure will” (Lamb) of God born within the soul of Israel. The white robes are the “righteousness” of the saints; hence, Jesus Christ is our righteousness, our new and good will leading us to all we desire which has already been prepared for us from the foundation of the world. Day 11 Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: For the first 26 years of being a Christian (age 14-40) I didn’t understand much of anything written in the Bible as I should have understood it. To me it was a closed book, even though I was given here a little and there a little in understanding. I would read the words of Jesus whom I did trust as much as possible, and would be given a witness from the world that Jesus’ words were true to my experience. Yet at age 40 I had my visitation even as Moses did and that is when the “books were opened” to me and everything hidden both in me and the scriptures were suddenly revealed. I didn’t understand justification or sanctification and certainly not glorification, but I did believe I was redeemed by the faith I did have in Jesus Christ. God looked at me in Christ from my first act of faith he himself authored in me (though I didn’t fully understand this either) to the finishing of my faith to make it the “Faith of the Son of God” in me. Now I understand the gentile (vessel of vanity) in me was justified from the beginning of my faith, and ‘know” Israel in me has been visited by Jesus Christ so I could have a new heart where righteousness (good will, Lamb of God) dwells so my heart could be a light for the gentile part of me. Why would God allow justification for us while we were yet sinners? Because God knew he made out of one lump (person) two vessels (one of vanity and one of honor) as he made two men (old and New) in order to save all men in their own order I Cor 15. Israel is continually scattered till the ‘heart’ is ready to receive the Word, receive the Savior of Israel and in this, though Israel be as the sands of the sea, she will be no more. Once God redeems Jacob by himself as the Last Adam the life giving Spirit, he resurrects both the branch and the gentile branches grafted into them together, Romans 11. In this way God is able to finally save his people and the whole world together and Abraham is indeed a father of “many” nations. Day 12 Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. Israel in me was visited on Yom Kippur of 1992 and for me this was the “Day of the Lord”. For me this was my judgment day for Israel, the house of God which was left desolate till the Jew in me said “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD”. The abomination of “desolation” was revealed as Israel in me, (Holy Place of the temple, Mathew 24) the heart that was wicked above all things because of who sat there on the throne instead of Jesus Christ in me. I followed Jesus from the outside, but he was not yet in me and I was certainly not yet in him. I followed him as a student but not as an eye witness or apostle because I had not yet received the “Spirit of prophecy” (Holy Spirit) poured out on my flesh. Once I experienced the complete annihilation of my vain vessel of dishonor because God broke it with the brightness of his coming and the truth of his appearing, darkness came over the whole face of the earth (my mind went into darkness even as my heart was redeemed). Israel now in heaven within me had to do spiritual warfare to claim the “promised land” and it was King David in me (received the key of David) who received Christ through the virgin of Israel (Isaiah 7) so Christ could both rule and overcome all enemies and put them under my feet. Christ is the root and offspring of David. The Holy root is Christ and the offspring is the Man Jesus, hence Jesus Christ is both God and Man in us making us a new man and a new creation as his bride and body. If we work after this SUFFICIENT GRACE is given (Gal 5) we are no more under grace but again in debt to the whole law. If the visitation of Jesus Christ fulfills the law and prophets in us, then it is our Submission to him, our yielding to his GRACE and TRUTH that marries all our desires to his GOOD WILL in us given to have “peace on earth’. God wanted Paul to fully grasp this when Paul asked God to remove the messengers of Satan who were cast to the earth at the birth of the “Man-child”. Paul was taken to Paradise as ONE WILL with Christ to “know” (have union with) Jesus. Paul means little because he was now a new creation and a New Man (child who entered the Kingdom) in Jesus in whose name he was baptized into by water and fire. God wanted Paul to understand so he could help all gentile parts of us (renewing of the mind that was shattered at his coming) that if we begin in faith, we don’t finish with works. The spirit of prophecy now is Gods Word in us building the “house of Israel” into one New Man. The Just will always live by faith and faith is always counted to us as righteousness because Jesus Christ fulfills the law and prophets and we obey this Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of peace, 5 stages of Grace in us. Day 13 Rom 4:16 Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, God’s new covenant is the covenant of Grace for renewing the heart with him-self on the throne. The Word in our heart, hence, engrafted with the perfect law of liberty (Holy Spirit of Truth that leads into all truth). Out of a new heart comes the confession to save the soul, renew the heart and mind that was shattered at Christ’s coming. The New Testament is all about the renewing of the mind even as the fulfillment of the Old Testament is the “coming of the Lord Jesus Christ” to every man’s heart in his own order, I Corinthians 15. Each man is made alive just as all men died in the first Adam, whether they sinned personally or not. God reckoned sin onto all men in the first Adam and through Jesus Christ he reckons righteousness onto all so his Word could be fulfilled and we would know this is “all Gods doing” and no man should boast of this Great Salvation except in God alone. Now the good news is that Israel and the gentiles are saved together because of the “fall of Israel” (their branches were lopped off to fall to the level of the gentile nature). God grafted all gentiles in by faith he authors in the gentile nature, so in the fullness of time, he could reveal Israel the heart of the temple we have and save these together by Himself, the King of the Universe and of Israel. Remember the outer court of the temple was for the gentiles, the inner court was for Israel and the Holy of Holies was only for the High Priest which is always from the tribe of Aaron/Levi. The High priest enters year by year but only with the blood of bulls and goats (desires that are both clean and unclean) but these desires can’t save us. We need the Lamb without blemish, the Good will of God” in us to both save and lead us to all righteousness. God is both the Light and the Lamb we are told in Revelation. Jesus Christ in us enables us to come boldly before the Throne and sit with him till he puts all enemies from the inner and outer court (heart and mind) under his and our feet. Sanctification is for Israel (new heart) as justification is for the gentile part, the new mind. Both together are then a New Man and a New Creation in Christ Jesus. Put on the Lord Jesus we are told. He is our cover, our righteousness. Jesus outer garment (light body of the New Man) was torn into four parts by the Romans (gentile soldiers at the cross) but the inner garment (Christ) was not divided. It is written, God forms his Spirit to make Man. God in Christ in us, makes Man out of our desires and his own perfect will in us. What a Savior we have. He considered everything from the beginning and it pleased him to make it so. Day 14 Rom 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Praise God that we ‘stand’ by faith into this grace. The serpent (crooked will) lost its legs (understanding of God) even as Adam’s mind (forehead-mind) would now work by the sweat of his brow and Eve (soul) would be saved in child-bearing. The old man and his will are promised to be saved by child bearing from his own soul/heart/womb. What child will the heart bring forth? The virgin part of the heart (favored and good part) will bring forth the Messiah and this is how Man will be delivered, redeemed, regenerated, saved and renewed. God figured it out ahead of time. The old man (first Adam) was not deceived (mind walked with God) but he was tempted by this own heart (Eve) who was deceived by the “crooked will” that lied from the beginning. God set the will at odds with his own will because the will is the King of the Universe. The only way God could make a ‘will like his own” (in his image and likeness) was to make the will choose “good over evil”. There could be no full revelation to the will if the will had to choose obedience. Jesus later said be ye wise as serpents and harmless as doves. The will was supposed to be the ‘wisdom’ of God but harmless to the creation. Instead the will didn’t tell the truth. Why not? It wanted to be above the creators rule. The heart was deceived into thinking it would make one wise, not understanding that wisdom comes from obedience to the creator that made them. Standing once again means we have a “will that wants only to do Gods will” and this is Jesus Christ in us, the good will to man that brings peace on earth (our mind and body). God begins this work in us by giving us faith which is like saying he gives us himself since faith is the “substance” of things hoped for and we hope for the wisdom to understand what true knowledge is. The heart that understands knowledge is a wise heart. The Messiah would know how to “choose the good and refuse the evil”. The old will did not know this nor did he choose to obey God who alone is good. I understood God alone is good once I had my visitation and received the good will of God in me. Jesus said only “one” is good and God is that ONE from whom all blessings flow and to whom all things return. Day 15 Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many If God would impute sin to the whole human race by one man Adam, why would he not impute righteousness by one Man, the Lord Jesus Christ in whom we are born the second time. God did just that and it is difficult if not impossible for the carnal mind to comprehend either positions. For me it was impossible because it was unnecessary to my carnal mind. Why not just let people suffer the consequences of what they do? Not that I wanted to suffer them, but at least it made sense to me to be in that position. Only as deep called to deep (my unregenerated spirit) did I realize if God had not imputed sin to all men, all men would have sinned sooner or later because all “wills’ had to be tested to be like God’s will. So God just let one man’s will be tested and then multiplied man as he was so he could in the fullness of time redeem the time and bring us all back to eternity together. The operative phrase here is “much more grace”. It is written, where sin abounds, much more grace abounds for that same reason. God doesn’t hold our old nature against us even though he judged Jesus Christ (his own good will) in Adam’s place so God could save us all in Adam’s place as well. It is written God works all things together for good and that he makes all things beautiful in his “time”, hence we are told redeem the time for the days are evil. The woman (Israel) with the issue of blood knew if she touched the “end” of Jesus garment (outer garment of light) she would be healed. Why? Israel’s righteousness are as filthy rags (menstruating rags) because she keeps loosing blood. She will not bring forth life. Why would you die, asks God? Yet when she touches the end (wings) of his garment the law is fulfilled in her. Christ is the “end of the law”. We are heirs under the law till Christ rises in our soul and then, we are ready to receive the free gift of our salvation. Israel in us becomes ready to have the blood flow stop and bring forth the child that will save her with his blood (Holy Spirit). From Eve to the Church (elect Israel), the woman is saved in Child bearing. The child she brings forth will save her and the whole world. Day 16 Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Receiving the abundance of Grace! What a statement in truth. It takes a lot of faith to believe in such a promise but this faith is promised to all who have come to the end of their own resources and are willing to look to the author and finisher of our faith. The gift of righteousness shall reign in life by “one, Jesus Christ”. Paul explains how the law entered (through Moses) that the offense might abound. How did offense abound? First God made sure he made many by one man and then, he made sure all men’s efforts would lead to the conclusion that without our creator, we could not be fulfilled. Man is made to be in the image and likeness of God and not the other way around. Today, God is made in the image of men, but that is why there are so many gods in the world. Idolatry is men making up God in their imagination, their vain image. The true God says his thoughts are as high above men’s thoughts as heaven is above earth. We need to lean not on our own understanding but in all our ways acknowledge him and HE will direct our paths. God will lead us in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. God will set the feet of the righteous man and his name is Jesus, even as we are baptized into his Name, so as he is, we are in the world. Day 17 Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin has reigned unto death even as God warned in the garden. Sin is lawlessness (missing the mark of Gods law), faithlessness (no longer trusting the creator) and doing what you know you should not do (rebellion against the creator). God warned if we eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge we are eating death to ourselves. The serpent (crooked will) said you won’t die, you will be as gods knowing good and evil, but I have to agree when I look around. People die all the time and to make things worse, Jesus said we are “dead already” if we don’t know him. Why do we have to “know” him? We have to “know” what a good from an evil will is to know how to choose correctly. Christ is the good will and Satan is the evil will and nothing describes and defines “Spirit” as much as will. Hence, we don’t fight against flesh and blood (desire) but against principalities and powers in high places. We fight against the very will of life and death. Satan holds the fear of death over us but God, God, God gives us the gift of life by giving us a “new and good will” to lead us to eternal life. The good will is the first resurrection which leads to the second death that has no power over us, why? The second death is where hell and death are cast into the lake of fire, the consuming fire of Gods love. Here all devils will be cast to be regenerated, which is why Paul says if Satan becomes an angel of light why is it so strange that his messengers also become apostles of the Lord whose end is according to their works. The end of a devil is the beginning of an angel restored. The fire of God is a terrifying thing. The fire of God is to be baptized by fire (dunked completely within the fire) so that all things can be burned away from what was and always will be. God’s spirit made new and righteousness by his own will. Only the spirit is baptized by fire. The soul is baptized by water, the water of the Word and it is born this way so it can hold a righteous spirit, one that is made ONE and made righteous by the Lord from heaven, the second man, the Last Adam in whom all souls will be made alive forever more. Day 18 Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. The battle of works vs. faith is an old one in the Church. James (Jacob) discusses how he shows you his faith by his works so some think, ha, there are works. Yes, lest God be the worker the workmen work in vain: It is GRACE that works in us and faith that receives the workmanship of God in us by Jesus Christ. Our works don’t work; simple as that. Why don’t our works work? Our mind is fleshly, carnal sold under sin: Sin is missing the mark of all things dear and near to God. We need a good will to direct our feet to walk by the Spirit and not the flesh. A fleshly mind will direct a fleshly walk. It is as simple as one plus one is two. The mind of Christ directs our feet in the spirit. We walk by the Sprit or the flesh. We walk by the leather (beastly) shoes or the “feet shod with the gospel of peace”. Moses was told to take off his old shoes for he was standing on Holy ground. John the Baptist said he didn’t feel worthy to even untie one of Jesus shoelaces because Jesus obviously had on the shoes shod by the gospel of peace. How beautiful are the feet of brothers who walk in Unity (Christ is not divided). Our feet and mouth both reflect our heart and mind. We confess from the abundance of our heart and walk in the way of the Lord or in the way of sinners. It is better to trust the Lord than to put trust in men and that includes our own self. Grace is sufficient says the Lord to Paul. Grace is not just sufficient to put up with the buffeting from the messengers of Satan, but to overcome evil with good. Grace alone will win where law alone did not suffice. We know the law is spiritual and good, but we were not able to do what we could not perceive. Grace allows us to perceive and receive what we could never see or hear before. Once we taste the Good grace of God, we will “will” to walk in it and cease from sin by agreeing with God. Can two walk together unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 No, one will keep the other back or push the other forward. Only the Lord in us as our right eye, hand and right leg will enable us to walk by the Spirit and even though a righteous man fall seven times, he will get up again and keep walking in the way of the Lord. Day 19 Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. At the authoring of my faith I received my first dose of humility. I knew at age 14 that I was not able to stop sinning in the way I perceived sin, and my relationship to Jesus was established. Yet it took 26 more years to understand how God works in the soul, how he first gives us a line (faith) to cling to so he can reel the fishes in. Jesus said the fisherman would become fishers of men and men are the combination of the old will and thoughts. All animals in the Bible represent our desires, some clean and some unclean. Fish are feelings that swim in the emotional nature (sea) of men. Birds are thoughts that fly in the air (spirit) of men. Land animals such as sheep, bulls, etc, are desires of the body we are able to sacrifice, while the serpent, lion and dragon represent the “will” of men, hence Jesus was tempted in every way we are. His will was tempted but it obeyed God in all things. Jesus’ will was to do the will of God, for he came to do thy will oh God. Jesus is called the “Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Messiah is also called the greater serpent, the one who eats the lesser serpents. A king snake though harmless to man, makes the coral (poisonous) flee. Once I experienced the law and grace of God in me, I knew I had nothing to boast about. I understood once again that God indeed is the giver of all things so praise his holy name; he also fixes them once they are messed up by the wrong will. First degree murder is more offensive than second degree (passion) or manslaughter (accidental) because the “will’ and forethought is involved. If we sin after we have tasted of the glories of the world to come, there is no more atonement (cover) for us, but only a fiery indignation from God to burn away that sin. I never wanted to willfully sin after I experienced my first resurrection, but there was still sin in my lower members (not will, but heart and thoughts) as Paul lamented as well. (Spirit-will, soul and body/mind are fixed in three parts after the visitation, will first). Yet even here, the GRACE of Jesus Christ was sufficient to overcome all evil with good, and so it is forever more, glory to his precious name in whom all knees shall indeed bow. Day 20 Rom 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith; We are given gifts according to the grace that is given us, including prophecy which builds the house of God. Let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith. I didn’t understand what prophecy was when God first authored his faith in me and for 26 years my faith didn’t grow very much because I didn’t use it enough. Faith is a seed that is able to do much, and he who has, more will be given. The soul receives the faith authored in her and the soul will be given even more faith at the coming of Jesus Christ, since it will be finished by receiving the “faith of the Son of God”, hence it is written, from faith to faith. I used to think prophecy was about me and what would happen to me or what I would do. Only by receiving the true gift of prophecy upon seeing Jesus, becoming an “eye-witness of Jesus” did I understand prophecy is to build the temple, the house of God so God would have a house to live in. He wants us all to be that house but each man in his own tent, his own tabernacle. (Jewish feast of Sukkot/Tabernacles show how each man builds his own for him and God to dwell in). In the end it is a house built of living stones (sons), with one accord, but yet we are also individual in the sense that we experience the same Lord over all. Revelation 19:10 tells us the “testimony of Jesus” is the spirit of prophecy. Here we are told what the spirit of prophecy does. It magnifies the Lord whom we have seen so we can be “like him”. Our faith grows as we use it and see, hear and taste that the Lord is indeed good. It is easier to believe for things today than when I began even though every inch of stature to become more like Jesus had to be given to me. I could not add one inch to my own stature or turn one hair white (like wool) or black. The latest trial to my faith is for healing. Since 1992, almost 18 years now, I have believed God can do all things and he has healed me of an addiction to food. Yet I have had difficulty believing he would heal me in other physical areas. I realized just recently that my doubt about Gods willingness to fulfill all his promises in me was a sin, even though I wouldn’t have thought so ahead of the revelation. Now I am asking God to help me obey his desire to both will and do of his good pleasure in healing my body. The will part is settled, but the “do” part was left to chance I thought. Maybe he will do it or maybe not. No, my faith has to rise to meet Gods promise if I want to walk in total obedience. May we all walk in full obedience towards his grace today. Now is the day of salvation: NOW is the accepted time. Day 21 Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen. We sit in heavenly places with Christ (joined as one spirit I Cor 6:17) till he makes our enemies his footstool. The earth is Gods footstool. So does that mean till he makes our enemies part of the earth? Yes I think it does. Korah who rebelled against Moses was swallowed by the earth when it opened up to receive them back again. Jesus wrote in the earth with his finger when the woman was taken for committing adultery. Afterward it is written that only Jesus was left with her. All those accusers left her. Look Jer 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, [and] they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. Luk 11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. Putting Satan under our feet is to write his name in the dust, to cast out devils with the finger of God and then, no DOUBT the Kingdom of God is come upon us. “Go and sin no more” is no longer impossibility, but rather, 1Jo 3:9 whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed (Christ) remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. I explained that at the “coming of the Lord” the Word which is sharper than any two-edged sword does divide our soul from our spirit. Why? So God can destroy and regenerate one (spirit) and save the other. God saves the Soul by his own “seed” that will remain within that soul and that seed is Christ. He destroys the old spirit, old man by lifting him up to Paradise via the cross, thereby making out of twain (two spirits-men) one new Man. He who is joined to the Lord is “one spirit” and no longer two. Paul explained his old man was crucified with Christ so the “body of sin” could be destroyed. Once the spirit is “one”, which is now the Lords, the soul is able to be sanctified even as it is justified by faith in God. The part of us that is not yet sanctified and renewed, can still sin, but they are not able to cross over to one another. The sinning part can’t automatically reach the non sinning part of us. Lazarus (helped of God) is taken to Abraham’s bosom (father of many nations) but the “rich man” is taken to gehenna (fire that won’t go out) till he pays the last farthing for his lack of repentance. Satan is the rich man; his is the ‘spirit of man” who knows the deep things of man while the “Spirit of God” knows the things of God. Satan owns the whole earth till he is removed from the soul whose maker and keeper is the Lord of hosts. Antichrist must go out from us to show that he never really was of us just for a time, for six days while Adam toiled dead upon the earth. Day 22 Cr 1:3 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. 1Cr 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; Paul spoke to the gentiles that he was among. In his gospel he never forgot where he received his answer and it was not by knowledge of the law, but by the Grace and truth that comes with Jesus Christ to the soul. Yet Paul never forgot how God gave this grace freely to the gentile part of the soul, even while Israel within had to await their “hour” of visitation and no man knows this hour but the Father alone. Jesus Christ comes like a thief in the night to take Israel back to the ‘Fathers house”, and to rid us of antichrist so he can sanctify our soul by leading our heart and mind to freedom. How are we freed from antichrist? The cross, which is foolishness to the Greek/gentile part of us even while the Jew in us seeks for a sign for it is the last generation of the Jew, the wicked generation of the Jew before Jacob is delivered so all ungodliness can be turned from him. Paul therefore said, let me glory in nothing but the cross by which the world is crucified to him and he to the world. The sprit of antichrist is the spirit of the world. Jesus prayed that we would not be taken out of the world, but that we would not be part of the world and added, he overcame the world and will do so in each and every man in his own order I Cor 15: It is because of this great salvation that we have Grace to receive by and through our faith in God. Day 23 1Cr 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. Wisdom comes from above and Paul received his wisdom through Christ in him and even said no other foundation can ever be laid but Christ. He is the rock we build upon, so what does Paul mean, let every man take heed how he builds upon it? I have discussed that it is written “lest God be the builder of the house, the workmen work in vain”. It is also written, if any man speaks; let him speak as an oracle of God. What does the Word mean by this? The spirit of prophecy that comes with the “witness-seeing-testimony of Jesus” is the Word oracled by God for the building project of his house. It begins desolate in us but God said Israel would repair this breach between heaven and earth, the desolation where God belongs in each and every living soul. I have heard it said by others that there is a God shaped vacuum inside each of us that is made only for God. It is the house that is left desolate till we say “blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord”. Once we receive the spirit of prophecy through the Spirit of God poured out on our flesh, we know we are “Sent” to preach the gospel, because we have the gospel to preach. God doesn’t send a false prophet, one who has not seen or heard anything directly from God, we are warned, God didn’t send these. A false prophet is the carnal mind in man who does not even know the things of God yet tries to explain them to others. The whole purpose of the false prophet is to keep Israel asleep within the gentile nature and to have the gentile boast themselves against the fallen branches of Israel within that nature, Romans 11. Jer 27:15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. Jer 29:9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. Also….Jer 23:30 ¶ Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Jer 23:31 Behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Jer 23:32 Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. The good news is if we are not yet aware of Israel within, we live by the faith God authors in the gentile nature till the hour Israel is revealed and called out of Babylon where God put Israel for all generations till he visits them, and takes them up to “this place”, him-self, Jeremiah 27. Here will come knowledge (union) because as I Peter tells us, add to faith “virtue, (Christ is our virtue) and to virtue knowledge and then temperance, and patience, godliness and brotherly kindness and finally charity/Love is fulfilled in the heart and mind to renew both together. The greatest of all commandments is to love God and our neighbor, the gentile part that brings both Israel and gentile together, into one new creation. Day 24 Cr 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. Paul explains in Romans 11 how God was severe on Israel but merciful to the gentiles and why? The gentiles didn’t have the law delivered unto them, but Israel were elected to receive the law so they could understand what sin is and seek to follow God as he revealed himself to his people. Israel is also the “body” God prepared for him-self to come through, be born in, and begotten in. As Israel stayed asleep in the dust, they continued to be scattered amongst the gentiles till their “hour” to be visited arrived, ready or not. Paul was a Roman citizen but Israel in him had his hour to be visited by Jesus and there was no more running away, as it is written, there shall be no way to escape. Israel may not have wanted to be a light to the nations, but they vowed a vow and they had to keep it, even like Jonah (Hebrew) it was time for the “Holy Spirit” to visit him, hence his name also means Dove. Jesus said this would be the sign for that last and most wicked generation where Israel would be visited and gathered from the four corners of the world. Jews still read the book of Jonah every Yom Kippur and that is when the Jew in me had the visitation on Yom Kippur of 1992. He who hates wisdom loves death, but once wisdom is poured out on Israel when Christ rises in them, they will be ready to receive this wisdom which also comes with the GRACE and truth of Jesus Christ to Israel the soul or body of Christ. He comes in clouds and we are the great cloud of witnesses he comes in as well as the stones set up by Joshua (Salvation of Jehovah) in Gilead, which means “great heap of stones” (sons). It is written that Christ is born in Bethlehem (house of bread) Ephrata (double fruit). Here the houses of Judah and Joseph through his son Ephraim are made one stick in the hands of the LORD. Here Rachel’s children are killed less than two years of age in Ramah (high seat of idolatry) to show how the new man must experience the second death in order to be “no more”, but become ONE with Jesus Christ from there onward. Grace is given to the world because God gave his Only Begotten Son to the world, but once we are one with him, that grace is even more abundantly poured out on us, and I say amen and praise Gods Holy Name. Day 25 2Cr 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing, in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. Paul explains how we are to abound in faith, utterance (speaking as an oracle of God) and knowledge (denoting “union” with the Lord); also the Corinthians are admonished to abound in diligence and love to us (Israel within) that ye abound in “this grace” also. Zechariah explains the spirit of grace would be poured out first on the house of David and we know this is why Mary (virgin of Israel) is the mother of Jesus, and she is from the house of David (beloved). The Jew in us is the last to know the Lord and the first to experience him. He came to his own but his own knew him not. Remember “knowing” means “union”. Judas (Judah) doesn’t know Jesus till he ‘eats’ with him or dips his sop with him. Jesus said he would not eat with the disciples again till he did so in his fathers Kingdom, and then he added he who dips his sop with Jesus would “give him up” to the High Priest. We know it was necessary for someone to do this deed, but we also know he who was chosen (elected) for this, it would be better if he had never been born. Why? The first shall be last, but the last shall also be the first (into the Kingdom). Judas went to “his place” and became one with Jesus because he ate “with Jesus” first. Yet it is Judas who was also hung on a tree (take up your cross and follow me or you are not worthy of me). He who seeks his life shall loose it and he who looses his life for my sake shall find it. Judas hung in the “Potters field of blood”, which is Gods place of atonement. Being crucified with Christ is how the “old man” dies so only “one new man” is left, and this man is Jesus, hence, we are baptized into his name. Judah gets the best and worst of the experience of redemption. He gets to be first in being visited, gathered and also the first to be crucified with Christ. It is this act that made Paul a Jew, because a Jew is a circumcised heart and here is where the heart and new Man meet, at the place of the skull in the Hebrew tongue. Abounding in Grace means letting go of our old life, our old works, our old ideas, our old everything and “knowing” only ONE way to be, Christ in me the hope of glory. Here is the beginning of our glorification, our union with Christ. Day 26 2Cr 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. My daughter recently explained to me how she never really understood the cross all these many years she heard about it. I understood what she meant because I too did not really understand why God would kill his perfect Son when it didn’t seem to do me any good all those 26 years I believed in him as my perfect teacher. It was easier to believe Jesus was God than to understand why he had to die so I could be saved. Why could God not just forgive us: why did he need someone to suffer and die, especially my perfect Jesus? I hate to admit the cross brought out more guilt in me than relief and there was nothing I could do about it. I didn’t know how to ask the right questions about life so it was impossible to get the right answers. In Judaism the story of the “Parah Adumah” (Red Heifer) is one of those conundrums Messiah will explain when he comes. The exchange of an animal for the sin of a person makes sense to the Jew, but that didn’t make much sense to me either. Why does God need animal blood to satisfy his anger at sin? The idea of a righteous God needing vindication made it hard to understand why he asked us to forgive others no matter what they did, when he him-self could not do it without a sacrifice. I didn’t ask anyone to bring me a pure innocent animal when they asked for my forgiveness. I know, I know, some Christians might find this almost blasphemous but I have to be honest if I am going to be true in my whole Witness of Jesus and the affect it had on my understanding and knowledge. My experience of the cross, where I had to see the serpent lifted up to know who Jesus really was and why he had to die, was the only thing that clarified the truth to my spirit. I felt amazing shame when I looked up and saw my redemption draw nigh. I mourned like a mother mourns her “only Son” a son I had brought forth (first-fruits of all creation) through me two years prior. Without further explanation I understood how God could not take sin lightly and somebody had to pay the price, so he himself chose to pay it for us, his creation. I understood how this alone could take away my guilt consciousness in due time because I was able to receive my atonement, my cover, my newness of life that was offered to me and the whole world so I could become the “righteousness of God” in Christ Jesus. Wisdom alone brings light to the gospel which his why it is written, he who hates wisdom, loves death. Day 27 Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Rom 5:11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. The word atonement is only found once in the New Testament, but it explains a lot in the verses prior to it. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. It is written the “Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world”, and Jews explain the Messiah was already prepared before God created Man, knowing he would be needed. All animals pointed towards the atonement, which means “cover’ in Hebrew. In Greek the word is katalagge, which means “exchange” the business of money exchangers, exchanging equivalent values. It is also defined as..adjustment of a difference, reconciliation, restoration to favor. The Hebrew word kaphar (atonement) is used many times but I want to give these verses for consideration. Num 8:18 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel. Num 8:19 And I have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary. Kaphar means purge, reconciliation, forgive, pacify, merciful, disannulled, appease, put off, and pitch as in the pitch that covered Noah’s ark which had to be pitched/covered both inside (bayith-house) and outside (chuwts-without, also to sever). I see how the message would mean the pitch severed the inside from the outside, or as Chassid’s say, there is an inner dimension called the soul (neshama-candle of the LORD) that belongs to every Jew. The Lord revealed to me that John the Baptist from the house of Aaron/Levi, bore the Ark of the Covenant in his generation since it would be borne by the Levi’s in all generations. Aaron’s rod bloomed to show he would be the tribe of Israel to be involved in the “resurrection” of Israel. The word ‘aron’ or ark also means ‘coffin’ because this is for the “death of the old man” before the resurrection of the New Man. John “beheld the Lamb of God that takes away the SIN of the world. Exd 29:32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that [is] in the basket, [by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. Exd 29:33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate [and] to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat [thereof], because they [are] holy. The WORD is telling us that not just anyone can eat of the things wherewith the atonement is made. Here is why Jesus asked, is John’s baptism from heaven or from men? If men can baptize with John’ baptism then it is not from heaven and anyone can baptize another. Aaron/Levi is not needed. Jews keep the feast of Yom Kippur every year, hence it is written… Hbr 10:1 ¶ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. Hbr 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. Hbr 10:3 But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again [made] of sins every year. Hbr 10:4 For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. It is not possible to clear a conscience from sin with the blood of an animal. I would add it is not possible to clear the conscience with the blood of Jesus if one does not fully grasp the EXCHANGE from our blood and Jesus blood, which is the “Holy Spirit” in us; but thank God this is the most important thing revealed to us with the experience of the “cross”. Day 28 2Cr 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. Till I “received” my atonement on Yom Kippur of 1992, I didn’t really comprehend godly sincerity or anything but fleshly wisdom. I didn’t have a clean conscience either because no matter how much I asked for forgiveness, I didn’t really think I was good enough to receive it from a God who would kill his Only Son for me. How could I ever be good enough for that sacrifice? Now maybe other Christians don’t have that problem, but I did and I have to speak from my own experience with the Lord. Yet once God revealed him-self in me, once the LORD came suddenly into his temple (inner court, holy place of Israel), and I saw the abomination of desolation of this place within me, my own sin consciousness and shame made it imperative that I receive Gods mercy and grace and praise God I was able to receive my atonement 26 years after first becoming a Christian. All who call on the “name of the Lord” shall be saved and I did call on him with all my heart and soul and strength. It was only after I was able to receive my atonement that my eye-witness of Jesus gave me a clean conscience because it destroyed the “mind or vessel of vanity”, where all those high things and imaginations that exalted themselves against God were found. I’m so grateful that the Potter shatters the vessel of vanity so he can “form a new vessel of honor”, the soul he will make into his image and likeness. Now, the soul is called the ‘weaker vessel” or the wife of one husband “spirit”, the weakness of God. Jesus asked, what would a man give in exchange for his soul? He must give his mind, his tithe, his ten percent to receive the full 100-fold return. Einstein said we only use ten percent of our brain but God wants to return to us a “new earth” where the “new heavens” will be brought down so God can walk on his footstool 100 percent in his saints. Day 29 2Cr 4:15 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 2 Cr 6:1 We then, [as] workers together [with him], beseech [you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. Once Israel is revealed in the midst, among the gentile nature, it becomes a light to the nations/gentiles. Why? God grafted the gentiles into the “commonwealth of Israel” so that when he visits Israel, both Israel and gentile could be raised together from the dead, Romans 11. Look….. Deu 32:7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. Deu 32:8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he (separated the sons of Adam), he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. Deu 32:9 For the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the lot of his inheritance. Revelation 7 shows us how Israel beginning with Judah, is gathered first and then John sees a great crowd……….Abraham’s children, the Father of “many nations/gentiles….. Rev 7:9 ¶ After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and....Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? Rev 7:14 and I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. One of the many things revealed to me and in me is that the ‘travail of the woman” is Zion who will bring forth in one day. Since all the nations are grafted into the fallen branches of Israel, they will come out of the “great tribulation”, which comes after the travail of the woman, with the rapture in the midst of the two. First Israel is gathered and the “man-child is caught up to God”, the woman (soul of Israel) is taken to the wilderness (inner court where she repairs the breach) and then the gentiles grafted into Israel will all renew their “minds” with the Light set on the hill (Zion, New Jerusalem) whose gates (way of entrance) is Israel. The walls of the apostles (set apart witnesses of Jesus) keep out all that would defile the city. An apostle is one who has “seen” Jesus, is an eye witness of Jesus and is able to tell the truth because they truly are “SENT” back to be a witness to the nations that are grafted into them. Day 30 2Cr 8:7 Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing, in] faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also. Paul explains to us that those who are in the New Testament (the old is fulfilled by Christ in them), abound in everything, including faith, utterance (prophecy or oracle of God) and knowledge…..and I want to comment on this word that denotes “union” between the thing known and the knower of the thing. Paul knows Israel must “know” Christ to abound in these things, but he doesn’t want Israel to loose sight of Grace as well. Israel didn’t mix faith with the law when it was given and that is what “the body of Moses” that the devil contends for must do and will do when they “witness Jesus”. When I received “knowledge” from the Most High, it seemed for many years that I didn’t need faith and grace since I had SEEN God: I had the best of the best, so why did I need to focus on anything else? The first 8 years (feast of tabernacles) I sat at Gods feet above the earth (shown to me in a beautiful vision as well) and learned of Gods law that was engrafted into my heart. One of the most beautiful scriptures ever written was fulfilled in Israel within me at this time. Deu 33:1 ¶ And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. Deu 33:2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them. Deu 33:3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy words. Deu 33:4 Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. Deu 33:5 And he was king in Jeshurun, (old name for Jerusalem) when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together. The word Seir means “shaggy goat” and the LORD rises from within these. The goats are cast into the outer darkness for the atonement while the ‘called” (gentiles) are given the benefits of the atonement for Israel within them. The LORD rose up from these shaggy goats, hence, the first resurrection is for both Israel and the gentile grafted into these fallen branches together, Romans 11. Some other scripture to prove why I know the revelation I received is true. Remember Judas (Judah) hung in the Potters field? …. .Pro 27:26 The lambs [are] for thy clothing, and the goats [are] the price of the field. Also……..Zec 10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. Jer 50:8 ¶ Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. …… Jer 50:9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows [shall be] as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. Eze 34:17 And [as for] you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. I explained all animals are metaphor for our own desires (Adam named all his desires/animals in the garden) and now some remained clean like sheep who only “hear the voice of the Shepherd” and no other will they follow. Goats however are independent desires that eat anything and climb high by themselves. The desires for God become one with him on the right and the independent desires go to the left for CORRECTION (tikkun in Judaism). Here the sons are chastened with the “fiery law” (da’ath or knowledge of God and his Word). The Lord loves all his sons indeed till all beasts (desires) are clean in his sight. Day 31 2Cr 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. How else could God prove his wonderful grace to Paul other than forcing him to consider it for all things, including the buffeting by messengers of Satan? The woman (soul of Israel, Joseph’s house uniting with Judah) who gives birth to the “man-child” is taken to the wilderness by the wings of a great eagle (rapture). Satan doesn’t give up just because the “man-child” is taken out of his reach: He casts a flood after the woman to destroy her, but the earth helps the woman. Paul is still on the earth even though his Spirit was joined to Christ to become “one” during the experience with the cross. Here we see how the souls of Israel will be revealed within the gentile natures even though the gentiles are still on earth, while Israel will be in the Kingdom of heaven doing spiritual warfare, and the Jew in us will be “one spirit” sitting with Christ in heavenly places till he makes his enemies his footstool. Grace must go from the inner heavens to the earth by “confession of the mouth” that extends from the ‘abundance of the heart’ that is filled with the “understanding of KNOWLEDGE” (union of our will with Christ’s will to make one new will). Paul explains another time that if Satan can be transformed into an angel of light…..2Cr 11:15 Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. The end of Satan and his messengers is according to their works. If Satan is “divided” his Kingdom will fall. Satan is divided at the cross into two parts, one part goes with Jesus to Paradise, and one part goes to the earth to persecute the woman and her offspring. Good overcomes evil when grace touches evil. Consider Act 26:18 To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Isaiah explains how all of us walk in darkness. Isa 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Grace and Truth come with Jesus Christ to bring the light that is the “life of Man” to us, and this is our first resurrection. Since the Just and unjust are both resurrected at this time we are given the light, but then we come to a deep understanding of the darkness we never had before. Yet we also get to witness how Jesus Christ overcomes darkness with light and evil with good and death with life right in our very own experience, right in our very own soul. The experience of the resurrection is so powerful we shall never forget to worship the Father in Spirit and Truth because he is the Spirit of abundant life in us at the resurrection. Jesus and his father are one and he comes to take us to himself to make us one with him-self, (John 17) so we all can be one as he is one with the Father. Here is the gospel and this is why we who have had this experience are as angels in heaven and we proclaim the everlasting gospel in the last days to all the earth. Day 32 Gal 1:3 Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,….and Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace, Becoming one with the Father, having fellowship in heaven with the father and his Son is so amazing that nothing can shake my faith for this grace in almost eighteen years. I suffer and I have infirmities, but the Grace of God is truly sufficient for all things that have been thrown at me these past two decades. It pleased God to separate me from my mother’s womb and who is this mother? It is Babylon the “mother of harlots” and Israel is that harlot who was exiled in Babylon and all the nations of the world till Israel gets called out by God so she won’t partake of the wrath of the Lamb that is going to be poured out on her. The pure will of God in us will destroy Babylon (confusion) by the clarity of the Word engrafted in our heart, and the Word becomes flesh in our own experience. Mathew explains how it is 14 generations from Abraham to David and 14 from David to Babylon and 14 from Babylon to Christ. I Peter 1 explains the Church are elected together in Babylon but they will be called out of there, and that is why they will not be able to be fooled any longer no matter how many confused sounds and voices try to stumble them once they come out of her. How do I come to these conclusions? I experienced the Word within my own heart and the power of the “Holy Spirit” interpreted what I experienced. Here are some scriptures as a witness to what I know and believe. Psalm 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Psa 137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion. Psa 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? Psa 137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her cunning]. Jer 50:28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple. Jer 51:24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD. Mic 4:10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go [even] to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. Zec 2:7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon. It is written, the eagle gathers where the dead body lies. God bears Israel on eagle’s wings, a picture of the rapture of Israel. I experienced this taking up, being caught up of my Spirit to the throne and my soul to the wilderness and Satan casting out the great flood of the Word to destroy me just like he used the Word to try and stumble Jesus. Yet the earth, my mouth confessed the truth out of the abundance of the Word in my heart to help me renew my mind. The leaves of the “tree of life’ (words) are for the healing of the nations-gentiles, to make both Israel and the nations one New Creation together. What a Savior who planned this overcoming of all evil with good to make all things beautiful (tifereth-beauty for ashes from the burning away of the Holy Spirit) in his time. Day 32 Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: and……Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. It was difficult for Israel in me who finally entered her rest, her Sabbath and kept the fourth commandment so she would not have to die anymore, to accept the whole provision of the Gospel of Grace. I knew the law and judgment were now beautiful and I loved the law with all my will, heart and mind, understanding that the law is indeed spiritual and good. Yet Paul had to remind the gentile nature in me that Israel was saved by Faith in the Grace and truth that comes with Jesus Christ, and not by keeping the law. If I could have kept the law without Christ, he died in vain for me. Yet I could keep the law now because Christ in me is the “end” or rather FULFILLMENT of the law in my heart. I still had to exercise my faith, the “faith of the Son of God” in me to receive all that God had ENGRAFTED into me through his BLESSED WORD. Once I perceived the problem, I was able to utilize my wonderful faith for the grace that indeed saved my soul, regenerated my spirit/will. The deliverance of Israel in me was in the process of renewing my mind continually forever to match the truth that came with the “Spirit of Truth” to set me at liberty. The New Man (Israel) that is built up by the Spirit of prophecy, due to the “witness/testimony of Jesus”, also makes the gentile nature in us a “NEW CREATION” so both are raised together in life. Hence God speaks of how Israel will be as the sands of the sea, Abraham’s children but he is also the father of many nations/gentiles. I am moved to include scripture to give a good and ready answer as to why I know Israel is lost, exiled in the “midst” (heart) of many gentile natures, ready to be revealed in the last days. Here are some and I will continue this on day 33. Hsa 8:8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure. Hsa 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God. Hsa 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezreel (God sows). Eze 14:11 That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD. Eze 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: Eze 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. Eze 37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Eze 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. Hsa 11:1 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. Hsa 13:9 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thine help. Hsa 14:1 O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Joe 2:27 And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and [that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. Joe 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat,(Jehovah will judge) and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. Joe 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Amo 9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will ( sift the house of Israel among all nations), like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. Amo 9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. Amo 9:11 ¶ In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: Mic 2:12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah (sheepfold), as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men. Day 32 Hsa 11:1 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. I explained how God’s son is Israel, (gods) even though Jesus Christ is his “Only Begotten Son”, but it is a difficult concept for most people to grasp. Jesus Christ brings many sons to glory, and it is written, Sodom and Egypt where our Lord was crucified “spiritually”. Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Here Jesus is the Lord who calls Israel out of Egypt with an “outstretched arm and great judgment”. I wanted to show why I believe the way I do through the Word, my testimony and witness of Jesus my Savior. Mat 2:14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: Mat 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod (hero-false King of Israel): that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria(happiness, a step), and from Egypt (between two rocks), and from Pathros (Upper Egypt), and from Cush (black-darkness), and from Elam (hidden-eternity), and from Shinar (country of two rivers-later Babylon), and from Hamath (fortress), and from the islands of the sea. Isa 11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. Isa 19:23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. I explained many times that Assyria is the code word for Christianity in the Old Testament, because Isaiah 19:19 speaks of it this way: Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my “inheritance”. Here we see God’s people are really in all nations, but especially Egypt who had all the knowledge Moses learned till God called him to deliver Israel the soul out of Egypt the “ego” or carnal nature of Israel, Gods ultimate plan, his ultimate vessel of honor and inheritance. Day 35 Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: The spirit of antichrist rules in the hearts of all men, because this spirit sits in the temple (inner court of Israel) making himself God. It is the spirit of the world which is why we need Jesus Christ to overcome the world in us as it has nothing in him and he has nothing of the world in him. We don’t recognize the spirit of antichrist because it is not revealed till……. 2Th 2:1 ¶ Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, 2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2Th 2:3 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; 2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. 2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: I experienced this “falling away” even as Saul did fall to the earth so both Jesus and Satan are able to be revealed in us. The feet do slide in time and at this falling away from the protection of the ego, the carnal mind, Israel and Jesus Christ her king are revealed together in Israel within us. Tisha B’Av (9th of the Father) is the Jewish feast day where Israel sits on the ground and puts dust on their head and mourns for the destruction of the two temples in Jerusalem. Here is where the virgin receives both the revelation of evil and good, darkness and light and death swallowed up in life. Zep 3:13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid. Zep 3:14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. Zep 3:15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. The antichrist, the "idol Shepherd": I didn't understand how the whole world could be fooled by the antichrist other than he tries to steal the identity of the Lord Jesus Christ in us. Paul explains how the mind became foolish and dark by worshipping the "creature" instead of the "CREATOR", and this is what I did: I worshipped the creature of my imagination even though I called him Jesus: I didn't know the real Jesus yet because he was not yet revealed to Israel in me. The gentile part of me had faith in Jesus Christ and this was for my justification, but Israel is not allowed to worship a creature as God, and neither are Muslims for that matter. Yet Christians know God manifested in the flesh, but it is not flesh and blood that profits anything or that we even war against, but the war is against spiritual forces, spiritual warfare. The resurrected Jesus had a different flesh and bone than the flesh he is revealed in to Israel which is the mortal flesh of the person Christ is born in. Jesus is born in a manger (animal soul) and becomes food for beasts (nephesh is the animal soul or desires). The Word made flesh replaces the heart of stone/law that Israel tries to keep in vain within us till they are called out, and revealed the chosen, elect of God amongst (in the midst, middle, heart) of all nations. Day 36 Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Gal 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. I didn’t have any trouble accepting Grace over law when I was only conscious of being a gentile saved by Grace, but once Israel was revealed as my heart through the “coming of my King” (good will of God in me), I struggled with Grace vs. knowledge of the law. Once the law was fulfilled in me through Jesus Christ in me, I understood how everything written from the time of Moses till now is about Jesus. What brought me back to the consciousness of grace over works? I understand now that Jesus Christ the good will of God in me, is able to do in me what I could never do. Yet by abiding in him, being yoked to him, submitted and surrendered to him, I understand walking in the freedom with which I am made free. The law revealed why I needed Grace, why I needed forgiveness, but it would not come to me unless I kept the law perfectly, but since Christ in me fulfills the law, it was already kept by him in me to make my soul perfect through him. The submission of all my desires is the easy yoke and the light burden I had to receive faith for and now I am able to walk by the spirit and ignore any lusts of the flesh that might still be a part of my lower members or nature. I don’t even worry about these because I know the same Jesus who brought me this far, will bring me all the way home, will win the race where only “one” can win, Jesus Christ in me my hope for glory. Jesus Christ is my righteousness, but he made me one “new man” with himself so what he has, I have. Christ is a very great affect unto me. I need this amazing grace and my faith in it, more than I need any other thing. In Judaism the “crown of life” (keter) is where faith comes from along with “the true will” and Eden/Pleasure. God created us for this pleasure, the will in me that he makes in his own image and this is also the faith in me revealed through me as the “faith of the Son of God” in me. My daily prayer is for my faith to manifest as the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven in me and my whole family and even the whole world, amen. Day 37 Eph 2:1 ¶ And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins; Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) Eph 2:6 And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus: Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Eph 2:11 ¶ Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:14 ¶ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us]; Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh (Word-my insert) the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace; Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph 2:19 ¶ Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: Eph 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. I felt moved to put this chapter here to sum up what I have been discussing so far and it needs no further comment but I am also moved to emphasize the following. 1) we were all gentiles to God, 2) Revealed as part of the common-whealth of Israel in Jesus Christ, 3) Grace saves both parts by one Spirit unto the Father, 4) Making out of twain, one new Man, 5) reconciled by the cross having slain the enmity thereby, 6) We are no more strangers, but fellow-citizens with the saints of the “household of God”, 7) Built upon the foundation (Jesus Christ the chief cornerstone) and apostles and prophets, 8) framed together growing into a Holy Temple in the Lord, 9) a Habitation of God through the Spirit. Wow I say, what a plan, what a Savior who both wills and does all this in us if we but receive in faith. Day 38 Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Admonishing one another in Psalms and Hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in our heart? Wow, who couldn’t handle that kind of admonishment? Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. What a sweet sound it is to have it come out of my mouth in any way at all. Col 4:6 Let your speech [be] always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Jesus said “ye are the salt of the earth”, we wake up the flavor of life with our words. We are the light set upon a hill (Zion) and from here we give light to the nations within and without. God made us a New Man and a New Creature in Christ Jesus and what a work he has done, what a great salvation. 2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, The Jews also witness to the fact that Messiah was given to the world before it began. God knew what was needed before he made it and he made sure it would be there, hence, the Lamb (Gods good will) was slain from the foundation of the world, but it is revealed to each man in his own order when that man is “visited” by Jesus Christ to make him alive, even as he died in the first Adam. Judah means “praise of God” and it is written, 1Cr 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. It is also written that God inhabits the “praises” of his people, and praise is perfected in babes. The first year after my visitation I spent up to 12 hours a day praising God and I could feel this was a brand new part of me that I had never experienced before. Eye had not seen nor ear heard this wonderful thing God had in store for me because he loved me and that love made me love him in return. It is written that we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye and that I how quickly it happened to me even though God did send the “spirit of Elijah” to me to bring me to repentance (putting my hand to the Plough and no longer looking back at the world). It is written Ephraim (double fruit from the house of Joseph) shall ride, Judah shall plough and Jacob (Israel) shall break up his clods. The earth is our brain and the will rides the man who ploughs the field. God brings Joseph and Judah together as one stick in his hands which is why Jesus is born in Bethlehem (city of David/Judah) and Ephrata (Joseph’s son). Here Israel and Judah become ONE MAN in God. Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in [his] wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. Day 39 Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Mat 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of, I had no idea my day and hour would come in my fortieth year on the Jewish feast day of Yom Kippur in 1992. I was not aware that judgment would come before my body died, but then I didn’t understand Israel in me, the house of God that must be judged first. Once Israel was finished being corrected, chastened as a father who loves his sons will so, then the gentile nature (my shattered mind that brought gross darkness within me) was also able to be renewed as it ate the leaves of the tree of life for the ‘healing of the nations”. I thank God that he sent the ‘Spirit of Elijah” for my water baptism (from heaven) to help me truly repent, (want to return to my fathers house). I realized I was a prodigal son who had taken his inheritance (spiritual life) and wasted it on harlots (carnal mind) and riotous living. I came to myself when I lost all my life force and said I would rather be a servant in my father’s house than live without him in the world (with the pigs-unclean desires, wallowing in the dirt). It is written Israel does not know the hour but the Father does and he sends the “Son” to bring Israel home via the cross (an outstretched arm and great judgment). Here I was able to “look upon the serpent lifted up and LIVE”. Here I was able to be crucified with Christ (made one will) so the body of sin (old soul that needed sanctification and mind that needed renewal) could be destroyed. 2Cr 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, After the first resurrection, the second death destroys the old man and harlot so that in the second and “better resurrection”, the soul is raised with Christ as it is joined to the new will, New Man and becomes one body with his head, a New Creation. Everything began to fit together like a huge puzzle once the “books were open” and the Revelation of Jesus Christ began. I ate the flesh and drank the blood of the “Son of Man” so I could have life with him. God works it all together for good and makes all things “beautiful” in his time. He gives beauty for ashes to those who mourn in Zion. Mourning endures for the night, but “joy comes in the morning”. Day 40 Hbr 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Hbr 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. Hbr 8:10 For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Hbr 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. Hbr 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. Hbr 8:13 In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away. Is the Old Testament the law? No, surely not! It is written in the New Testament that the law is both spiritual and holy and Jesus said not one yod or tittle would pass from it till all is fulfilled. If the law itself were to wax old and vanish away, why did Jesus have to fulfill it? It is not the law that is old, but the “manner” it was given, via “the letter”. The New Covenant will still be the law, but it will be written in our hearts and mind. The fault God found with the old is that it was from without and not from within. From without men had to work to keep it and men were not equipped to keep it because it was not a part of their fallen nature. The man of lawlessness is the man “without” law in his heart and mind, hence, God fulfills the law and prophets by giving us him-self through Jesus Christ to make us a new man and a new creation where righteousness dwells. Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God. Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter. Rom 7:7 ¶ What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. Rom 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead. Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Rom 7:10 And the commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I found [to be] unto death. Rom 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me]. Rom 7:12 Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Rom 7:13 ¶ Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. And……. 2Cr 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. So the letter of the law kills because it reveals our sinful nature; yet this death leads to the better resurrection because it burns up our “sin nature” with the Holy Spirit in us and leaves us beauty for ashes. Zion delivers herself from Babylon in on hour as I am a witness. My hour of judgment did come and I am so grateful that we all must stand before the judgment seat of Christ, each man in his own order (troop, soldier cast by lot). Rev 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Rev 18:8 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. Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. If the Lord did not come to us, we would never be transformed from faith to faith and glory to glory. We would never have the new covenant which is not of the letter but of the Spirit written within us and not just without to guide us and make us lawful, faithful and justified, sanctified glorified people of God. Day 41 Hbr 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. Why doesn’t the heart find profit with ‘meats”, i.e. the deeper things of the Word? The letter is deep, but man only understands and knows the deep things of man, which is why we need the “Spirit of God” to know the deep things of God. Only Grace is able to reveal the simplicity of Christ that is given to us by faith in God. If much learning could bring us the Word established in our heart, then it would take intelligence that is out of this world (literally) to grasp the Torah/law and especially the way of redemption. Yet a child can understand by “belief” and it takes belief and faith of a child to “know” how Grace works. The wisdom of this world can not explain it because there is nothing in this world that is like the good news, the grace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Forever learning and never coming to the “knowledge” (union with) the truth, is the way of the carnal mind. It doesn’t value or think highly of the things of God which don’t work like Grace at all. Jesus said in the world the leaders’ lord it over those beneath them, but in the Kingdom, the greatest, is the servant of all and who is this but the Lord him-self? Those of us who become partakers of his head, becoming members of his body will follow it’s lead instead of making plans to go our own way. The books of Paul (epistles) were written for the nations, the gentile nature or the new creation, while the Gospels, James, Peter, I, II, III John, Peter, Jude and Revelation were written for Israel within the heart that has to be established in the law but by Grace is given to both Jew and gentile together. Jer 9:23 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches: Jer 9:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD. Mat 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mat 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mar 12:41 ¶ And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. Mar 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. Mar 12:43 And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: Mar 12:44 For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living. Luk 6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Luk 12:21 So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. It is written pure religion is to help the widow (poor in spirit) and the fatherless (those whose hearts have not yet been returned to God. It is my ministry to reveal that Israel is the woman who is married to Satan but when her first husband dies (old man is crucified) she will be poor in spirit till the Lord marries her and restores her to him-self. Mat 5:3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Jam 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world. Satan is the god of this world and his messengers are the gods with him. Jhn 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Jesus was referring to this Psalm Psa 82:1 ¶ [[A Psalm of Asaph (Joseph/gatherer).]] God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. Psa 82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Psa 82:3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Psa 82:4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked. Psa 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. Psa 82:6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High. Psa 82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Psa 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. I thank God with all my heart that I became poor in spirit when the Word severed the spirit (antichrist) from my soul (Hebrews 6) so he could regenerate my spirit in order to save my soul. I didn’t understand how much I depended on God till he removed the wicked spirit from me and made me his own body, his church, his bride and set my feet according to his head so he could walk on earth in the spirit and I could sit with him in the heavens till he made the rest of my enemies (messengers of Satan) his footstool. Day 42 2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen. Without Grace I would never have understood the “knowledge of God”. I would have put my own personal spin on that knowledge like many people do, but it is written that there is no “private interpretation” of scripture. The Holy Spirit wrote and interprets the Bible and after the first resurrection (Christ is risen in us), we are soon after baptized by this fire and Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth that leads us into all truth. Only the truth of God set me free. No other philosophy or religious teaching, no denomination or sect (and I went through every sect I could find to understand the truth), could free me from sin and selfishness. Only Jesus Christ in me fulfilled the law of God in me and the law is spiritual and it set my feet in the “way I should walk”. Without the fulfillment of the law (Torah), there is always a mixture of darkness and light, evil and good, but the law severs these and puts them in their own corner, so the Lord in us can overcome the evil with His GOOD WILL, by leading us with that will in all we do. “Knowing” (union) Jesus means “I am more interested in what he has to say to me than what I have to say to him. For the first 26 years of my Christian walk, I had a measure of faith given to me, but it was only enough faith to find out what Jesus said about things that interested me. I was not interested in the deep things of God because I could sense they made me have to give up my selfish concerns. Yet once the Revelation of Jesus Christ came and apprehended me, like Paul, my only concern became to apprehend (understand and know) what I was apprehended for. I wanted to ‘know his Word” instead of bombarding him with my own thoughts and needs. Now I know my heavenly father knows what I have need of. I ask but I ask with faith and expectation that God can do all things and I don’t ask outside of his will for me, in me. I don’t want anything that God doesn’t want for me because I have seen, heard and felt the results of my own personal needs that excluded Gods will. There is no life or freedom in these. God gave me a new name before he sent me into judgment. He said, be transparent, accountable, grateful, free from sins bondage and a light for my glory. Five characteristics (grace) of my new nature that I could not perform, but that was able to grow out of the “grace” that led to the knowledge of God in me. Day 43 Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God. Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter. 2 Cr 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. My Lord, he sent me a letter! He sent me a letter that said I couldn’t live without him anymore. (sung to the tune of the Box-tops). Yes, the letter does kill but it kills that which shouldn’t be there to begin with so that the Spirit, (GRACE) can bring to life that which shall be alive forever more. Paul said he died daily, but the good news (gospel) of the Kingdom is that life swallows death, takes the “sting” out of death and leaves us with the cleansed experience of the “burning away of all the sin nature” by the Holy Spirit, the fire of God that consumes everything not meant to last. The Jew in me was circumcised by the Spirit of the Word and this alone made the “forever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth” a thing of the past. I didn’t need any man to teach me anymore after this event, and it was fulfilled in me that no man shall say “know God” for all shall know him from the least to the greatest. Once my heart was circumcised by the sword that revealed the fall and rising of Israel in me, I knew my “King” (Gods good will in me) would lead me to all things needful in me. The mother of Jesus, Mary was told…..Luke 2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; Luke 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. Jesus said, those who did the will of his Father would be his mother, brother and sister. The soul must bring forth the first-fruits of all creation Christ, (Christ must rise) in the soul to experience the “first resurrection”. The house of David experiences this in us, hence, the “Philadelphia Church is given the Key of David” to shut what none can shut or open what none can open. The gentile part of us is able to trust the name of Jesus long before he is revealed to Israel in us, yet the revelation of Jesus Christ to Israel in us begins judgment of the house of God that is left desolate till we say “blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD’. Jesus comes in the name of his father. Jesus means “salvation of Jehovah”. Jesus is God manifest in flesh because he comes out from God and returns to God. The Word is sent and it will not return till it has accomplished what God purposed it to do. The Word will finish what it begins in us, all that concerns us, praise his Holy Name. Day 44 Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. Luke 16:17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. Christ is the “end” fulfillment of the law so once we experience Christ in us, we will soon experience the Kingdom of heaven within us because Christ tells the “old man’ in us to take up (lift up) his cross and follow Jesus. He who looses his life for Jesus sake will find it but he who seeks to find his own life shall loose it. Why? Our life is God and if we don’t find God, we loose our life, because this is eternal life, to know God and the one he sent to us, his “Word” that God him-self will engraft into our heart to lead us into all righteousness. Mat 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: Mat 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? Mat 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges. Mat 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Once I experienced Christ in me, I felt abundant life for the first time in my whole existence. Christ grew in me in stature and wisdom and as he increased, Israel in me beginning with the house of Aaron/Levi decreased to become “one new man”. The spirit of prophecy that came with my “eye-witness of Jesus” build the house of God in me from a desolate breach between heaven and earth to a United Kingdom on earth as it was in heaven (within). I entered the Kingdom with much violence (the cross) but this gave me the “new will” I needed the “good will” of God in me to lead the rest of my soul to salvation. I was able to work out what God put in, Christ in me the hope for glorification. Christ in me cast out the antichrist who had to go out from me to show he was not really ever of me. Antichrist spirit is the spirit of the world and once we are part of the Kingdom of God, we are no longer a part of this world, even though we still live in the world. Grace and truth did all that in me. Grace and truth come by Jesus Christ in us and while grace is the gift of salvation, truth sets us free to enjoy all that is given to us in Christ Jesus. 1Jo 2:18 ¶ Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1Jo 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1Jo 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1Jo 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Day 45 Gen 49:1 ¶ And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I say tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last days. Isa 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Before my visitation that began the judgment for the house of God in me, (the house of Israel), I didn’t understand that “last days” come to each and every soul when the Lord comes to gather Israel back to him-self. It is these last days that the Just (Jesus Christ) and unjust (antichrist) are both raised together to battle out the final war (Armageddon) in our own soul, hence perilous times- chalepos-through the idea of reducing the strength, hard to do, to take, to approach, hard to bear, troublesome, dangerous, harsh, fierce, savage. It is written the crowd without number that John sees after he sees Israel gathered in Revelation 7 come out of the “great tribulation”. Paul continues to explain to Timothy how men (spirits of wicked men) will be before they are cast out of the soul. It is written when Satan knows his time is short, his wrath becomes great against the soul that was his host. He shows up in a way he never did before, hence 2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Here we can conclude these are also a part of the Church even though they don’t have the “power” of the Holy Spirit because they are unholy, despisers of those who are good and who is good but one? What else do these spirits in us do? 2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Every man has a last day, his last generation before he is judged, lifted up so he can be sanctified. Jesus said “if I be lifted up I will draw ALL men unto me”. It is also written in I Cor 15 “each man in his own order’ is made alive in the Last Adam. Not every soul is in their last generation. Some come in the morning hours, some at noon and some come in at the end of the day, but one thing is for sure, we shall all have to stand at the judgment seat of Christ and this alone will free us from the antichrist forever. Here devils are not only cast out but cast into the “all consuming fire/Love” of God to be transformed for good. Day 46 To sum up my witness so far, I will end the prior discussion on antichrist with Romans 2 in total. It is a witness to what I know to be true through personal experience, yet God does indeed work all things together for our good. I am grateful he reveals these things and brings our bondage to an end, in the last days, the last generation of our soul. Here Paul is not talking to the “new man” in Christ, but the “old man” who must be crucified with Christ as his old man was crucified with Christ. The last generation of the tribes of Israel discussed in Genesis 49, shows us what shall befall every tribe in the last days and God makes Israel and Judah one nation, one stick in his hands because they are the ‘gates’ into the Holy City New Jerusalem, our mother above. Paul also reveals how in the last days the Jew will experience both judgment and redemption first and then the gentile nature in that soul. My experience confirms this as all the Word is confirmed by the Spirit of Truth in me that leads into all truth and frees me from all bondage. Rom 2:1 ¶ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Rom 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. Rom 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Rom 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: Rom 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: Rom 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Rom 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; Rom 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: Rom 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God. Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) Rom 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Rom 2:17 ¶ Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, Rom 2:18 And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being structed out of the law; Rom 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, Rom 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Rom 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that reachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Rom 2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Rom 2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? Rom 2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. Rom 2:25 ¶ For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Rom 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? Rom 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God. Paul explains so clearly here that if the Jew in us (our will) is not walking by the same Grace and faith as the gentile in us (mind) must walk in, the law does not profit them unless they keep every letter. Yet if the gentile keeps the law without even understanding it but by nature, he will not be judged as a breaker of the law. Grace enables Israel and Jew as well as the gentile parts of our nature to keep the law because Christ fulfills the law in us. Here is how God makes out of one man (Jesus Christ) a new man and a new creation in whom righteousness dwells. No more male or female (spirit and soul) and no more Jew and Greek (no separation between the inner and outer nature, but only a new man and a new creation where all things become new, all things. It is written that ten men out of the nations will hang on to the “skirt” (wing, extremity-end) of a Jew and say take us with you for we have heard that God is with you. Day 47 I will discuss the scattering and gathering of Israel, Gods elect among the gentiles. I decided to let the Lord tell the story instead of trying to summarize it myself. When the Lord visited me one of the first things he said was “bring all things back to me”. I was walking in the park and was so glad to hear from God, because mostly it was me who did all the talking. Yet this morning I heard the words distinct in my spirit and answered, “I will do anything Lord”. Soon after I heard another Word from the Lord while I was teaching a Sunday school class.; he said “all doors will close” and then soon after that judgment began in the house of God (within my own heart). Once judgment began in me, it was revealed to me that I was now a Jew (Philadelphia Church) and was given the Key of David to open what none could open and shut what none could shut. My judgment opened the scrolls and I know the Lamb is the only one who can open the seven seals of our heart. God looks to the heart while men look at the outer appearance of things. Yet it is the heart that is Gods house, and here is the throne where antichrist sits till he is dethroned by the Lamb, so the Lamb can sit in the midst of the throne of our heart to not only lead us, but subdue all our enemies under our feet. Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. Gen 49:7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel. Lev 26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. Deu 4:27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. Deu 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and stone. Jer 9:16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them. Jer 13:24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. Jer 18:17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. Eze 12:15 And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries. Eze 20:23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries; Eze 22:15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. Jer 23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. Jer 29:14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. Jer 32:37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: Zep 3:20 At that time will I bring you [again], even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD. Eze 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. Zec 2:6 Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. Act 7:37 ¶ This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. Act 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and [with] our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: Act 7:39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust [him] from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, Isa 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. Isa 65:9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. Isa 65:22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect. Mar 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Luk 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth. Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 1Ti 5:21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 2Ti 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. Tts 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 1Pe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 2Jo 1:1 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 2 Jo 1:13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. I was led to summarize all of Gods works within Israel his elect through scripture in order to give a good and ready answer why I believe the way I do. In truth however, I believe this way because it was revealed within my own experience. I did not know Israel was scattered or would be gathered within the gentile nature till it happened to me. My eyes were opened after this because I knew I was a gentile believer for 26 years before Israel was revealed as the ‘elect’ within me. Yet I also knew nothing could deceive or stumble me once the Lord visited Israel within me and put Israel back into their own land (Adamah) which is the land within that was left desolate till Israel said “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”. Day 48 Law vs. Grace is not really a debate worth having. Grace establishes the law in our hearts because Jesus Christ fulfills the law and prophets within our hearts. Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Rom 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. And again, Israel must keep the law and it is written, if they do not keep the Sabbath they will die. I understand now that Israel does not keep the Sabbath when they do not enter their “rest”. Hbr 4:1 ¶ Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Hbr 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it]. Hbr 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Hbr 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. Hbr 4:5 And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest. Hbr 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Here is the best evidence that those to whom the law was given, still were expected to mix it with faith since Abraham was justified by faith and the “just shall live by faith”. Entering Gods rest means letting him work in us and we rest from our labors. Adam had to work by the sweat of his brow, (his will would not bring forth from the good ground) but the ground would bring forth tares and thistles. The angels who gather Israel from the four winds separate the wheat from the chaff and burn the chaff with fire and bundle the wheat to put in the storehouse, so God will have meat in his house. Paying the tithe means “giving up your ten percent of your brain” (your ego or self) so God can open the windows of heaven for you and you shall not be able to contain all that he will give in return. We stop working and God will both will and do in us of his good pleasure. Day 49 The Sabbath rest of God continued; The Word has a lot to say about entering our rest, but that rest is for Israel within. I will once again list the verses that describe Gods rest to show if we have not yet entered our rest, may we do so even now, for now is the accepted time, NOW is the day of salvation. As long as it is called “today” there is still a rest for the children of God, his inheritance Israel. Isa 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. Jonah is the sign given to the last generation of the soul before they find their rest. The book of Jonah (means dove) is read every Yom Kippur (most holy day, the day of atonement) in Judaism. Jesus said “be ye wise as serpents but harmless as doves. The dove landed on Jesus but it was the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, in the form of Israel. Gen 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. Exd 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh [is] the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Exd 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest. Exd 34:21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. Psa 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. Psa 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Psa 38:3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin. Psa 55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest. Psa 132:8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Psa 132:14 This [is] my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Isa 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, Isa 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, [and] is quiet: they break forth into singing. Isa 18:4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, [and] like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. Isa 57:2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness. Isa 57:20 But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. Isa 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp [that] burneth. Isa 62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isa 63:14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. Isa 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest? Jer 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein]. Jer 30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make [him] afraid. Jer 31:2 Thus saith the LORD, The people [which were] left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; [even] Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. Jer 50:34 Their Redeemer [is] strong; the LORD of hosts [is] his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. Lam 1:3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits. Lam 2:18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. Lam 5:5 Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Act 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Act 7:49 Heaven [is] my throne, and earth [is] my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what [is] the place of my rest? Hbr 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Hbr 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? Hbr 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Hbr 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. Hbr 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Hbr 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his. Hbr 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled. Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Day 50 The mark of the beast is the mark put on Cain’s forehead, the cross (Hebrew letter Tav-last letter): It is the mark for the destruction of the "man of sin", the old man that needs to be crucified so the "carnal mind" (body of sin" can also be destroyed. The carnal mind is enmity with God: Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. The dragon is the spirit of antichrist, the beast is the "crooked will" that rules in the hearts of men. The false prophet is the "carnal mind, the seed of Satan". The dragon (spirit of antichrist) gives power to the beast (will) and all the world (ruled by antichrist) wondered after the beast: Rev 13:1 ¶ And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, (emotions of mankind) having seven heads (seven churches) and ten horns (powers), and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Let us take a look at Hosea 13: the Bible always interprets itself through the power of the Holy Spirit. Remember I said Ephraim (Joseph's firstborn son in Egypt), and Judah would become one stick in the hand of the LORD: When the tribes of Israel are gathered in the last days, Ephraim is not listed because he is "joined to Judah", hence God brings the house of Judah and Joseph together through the birth of Christ within their joined city, Bethlehem Ephrata. Hsa 13:1 ¶ When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. Hsa 13:2 And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. Hsa 13:3 Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney. Hsa 13:4 ¶ Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no savior beside me. Hsa 13:5 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. Hsa 13:6 according to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. Hsa 13:7 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe [them]: Hsa 13:8 I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her whelps], and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. Hsa 13:9 ¶ O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thine help. Hsa 13:10 I will be thy king: where [is any other] that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? Hsa 13:11 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took [him] away in my wrath. Hsa 13:12 ¶ The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid. Hsa 13:13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of children. Hsa 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. Hsa 13:15 ¶ Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. The LORD said he will be unto them as these beasts. Israel will experience the LORD in this way, because of their sin. Israel is hidden within the gentile nature which is why they eat their defiled bread among the gentiles: Eze 4:13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. Yet the Lord Jesus Christ fixes the understanding: Mar 7:2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.....further down....... Mar 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? Mar 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honored me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from me. Mar 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men. Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as] the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Jesus meant their understanding of defiled hands was "carnal", the fleshly understanding of cleanliness. Mar 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Mar 7:14 And when he had called all the people [unto him], he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one [of you], and understand: Mar 7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. Mar 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. Nothing from 'without a man" that enters him can defile him; but that which comes out of him, hence the "spirit of antichrist" defiles us, and he must come out from us to show that he never was meant to be part of us. Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death (Christ fulfills the law and prophets); and his deadly wound was healed (Yet the first resurrection raises the Just (Christ) and the unjust (antichrist): and all the world wondered after the beast. (crooked serpent/will of men). Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon (antichrist spirit of the world) 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?(who is able to make war with one’s own crooked will?) Rev 13:5 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. What does the beast or will of man blaspheme? Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints (souls who brought forth Christ as their first-fruits), and to overcome them (crucified with Christ): and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Rev 13:8 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. (Our will becomes one with Christ at the cross). Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. Day 51 Why is Judah gathered first? Why is the house of Judah chosen to have Satan enter them? Why did Judas (Judah) dip his sop with Jesus at the last supper, a meal Jesus said he would not eat again with his disciples till he ate with them in his fathers Kingdom? .A ct 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a (((false prophet))), a Jew, whose name [was] Barjesus: (son of Jesus) Rev 14:1 ¶ And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, (Israel gathered in Rev 7) having his Father's name written in their foreheads. Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: Rev 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women (carnal mind); for they are virgins (mothers of Christ). These are they which follow the Lamb (God’s good will born as Jesus Christ) whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb. . Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. Rev 14:6 ¶ And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the (everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth), and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Worship the true God and not the God of the vain imagination) Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, (confusion no longer exists in the spirit or soul) that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: (all men who are ruled by antichrist, the crooked will and the carnal mind) Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (if you believe in the cross and yet don’t stop worshipping the beast, you never get free). Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints. What is the Song of Moses? You will find it in Deu 31:22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. What is the "faith of Jesus"? Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ The Song of Moses explains if Israel does not keep the law they will be under a curse: The faith of Jesus removes the curse of the law, and these who are in heaven are able to keep the law through the fulfillment of the law which is Christ in them. Christ the good Lamb (will) of God is able to lead them because he brings with him the “faith of Jesus” the Faith of the Son of God and this leads to “peace on earth” (our new mind) like nothing else ever could. Day 52 God scatters Israel and gathers the through Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh. Once they are gathered together they are ready to enter Jerusalem the capital of Judah and Benjamin. Here God will make them one stick in his hand by being born in them together. Ephraim is not listed in the gathering of Israel for that reason in Revelation 7, because he is one stick, one tribe with Judah. Abraham’s seed would be as the stars (Israel) and the sands of the sea (Gentiles). Once God gathers the gentiles and grafts them into the commonwealth of Israel, he visits Israel and Judah as their King and this is what brings “life” the first resurrection to both gentile and Israel together, Romans 11, Here is more the scriptural proof of why I believe the way I do. Jhn 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael (given of God), and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth (separated one), the son of Joseph (he will gather). Jhn 1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Jhn 1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. Jhn 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Jhn 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Jhn 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jhn 1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. Jhn 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. 1Ki 4:25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan (judge) even to Beersheba (well of an oath/seven), all the days of Solomon. Pro 27:18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. Sgs 2:13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines [with] the tender grape give a [good] smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. Isa 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree. Mic 4:4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make [them] afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken [it]. Israel is the fig tree and the stars of heaven: Zec 3:10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree. Mat 21:19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon (no fruit), but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. Mat 21:20 And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Mat 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Mat 24:36 ¶ But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mat 24:41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. The two men are the old and new man: One is taken (to Paradise) and the other is left (as the two thieves (wills) on the cross): Two women are the carnal mind and the soul: One brings forth the “seed of the woman” Jesus Christ, and the other is the seed of Satan, the carnal mind which must be completely overcome by the “renewing of the mind” to be like the ‘mind of Christ’. Let this mind be in you…..just like the mind of Christ. Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, (remember Paul speaks of his untimely birth) when she is shaken of a mighty wind. Gen 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Deu 1:10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye [are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude Isa 13:10 For the stars of heaven (Israel) and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun (Jacob-elect)) shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon (Rachel/Church) shall not cause her light to shine. Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Dan 8:10 And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: . Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon (antichrist) stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered (Israel, house of David and Joseph together), for to devour her child (Christ the first-fruits) as soon as it was born. I believe the third part of the stars include Benjamin because he is given the Ministry of GRACE for the gentiles. Paul, a Hebrew of Hebrews (one from the other side), and a Jew (heart is circumcised) is also from the tribe of Benjamin, (son of my right hand). Gen 37:8 And his brethren (Israel to Joseph) said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. Gen 37:9 ¶ And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. Gen 37:10 And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? Gen 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. Joseph has the dream and like I showed, God said he would put the house of Joseph (Ephraim) and Judah together, make one stick in his hands out of both of them. Jesus Christ is born in Bethlehem-Ephrata, the cities of David/Judah and Joseph/Ephraim. Here is how God puts Israel and Judah back together again. It is written…..Deu 33:17 His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh. Jacob made Ephraim Israel by his blessing: Look Gen 48:17 ¶ And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. Gen 48:18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this [is] the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. Gen 48:19 And his father refused, and said, I know [it], my son, I know [it]: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. Psa 60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; Psa 80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and] save us. Until Ephraim and Judah are made one stick/tribe in the hand of God, they are against one another. Isa 11:13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. Until the coming of Jesus Christ to the soul/woman however, Gods outstretched hand is still beckoning his people. Isa 9:21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: [and] they together [shall be] against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still. Jhn 4:5 Then cometh he (Jesus) to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near "to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph". Inserting this verse from Genesis 49, Jacobs blessings to his sons for the last days: Gen 49:22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a "fruitful bough by a well"; [whose] branches run over the wall: Back to John 4, and remember, Samaria is the capital city of Israel, while Jerusalem is the capital of Judah and Benjamin. God divided the two from the other ten tribes at the death of Solomon. Since the division, Israel and Judah have been at war. John 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour. John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. Jhn 4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) John 4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. John 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? John 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. (Before Jesus gives her this water he says)…. John 4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. John 4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: John 4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. (Israel has been exiled in six gentile kingdoms: another way to look at is, the five senses including the sixth sense (intuition) are not sufficient to bring the living water. Messiah is required for this). John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. John 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he]. John 4:27 ¶ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? John 4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Jhn 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? John 4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. Joseph and Judah are the woman together who is clothed with the Sun (Jacob) and the moon (Rachel) is under their feet. It is she who brings forth the Messiah because Joseph through Ephraim and Manasseh push all the lost or exiled tribes of Israel together from the four corners of the earth. Once Israel is gathered and the gentiles are grafted into their branches, the "hour" comes for Israel to be visited by Messiah. Day 53 Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Act 13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Act 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. Jesus Christ is the last Adam, the second man who is also Lord from heaven. We are his body, beginning with Israel (the heart-bride of Christ’s head) the elect and the gentiles (lower members of the body) grafted into the fallen branches of Israel for the gentiles sake. The first Adam was taken out of the dust (gentiles) and God blew his Nashama (breath of God) to make him a “living soul”, but we know he lost the position to help all those outside the garden. After he lost his position, he too would have to work by the sweat of his brow and Eve also would bring forth children in pain but she would be saved in child-bearing. The woman becomes the Church who brings forth Messiah while Adam is the old man, whose will (crooked serpent) has to be lifted up in order to go back to Paradise and eat of the “tree of life”. Adam was not deceived so he sinned deliberately and it was his “will” (crooked serpent) that beguiled his own soul. Once the evil root is plucked up, the good root of the tree of knowledge is all that is left. Hence it is written, I am the “root and offspring” of David. Christ is the good root of the tree of knowledge which then becomes the tree of life once again. Jesus the Man is the offspring of that root when they meet in David according to the flesh. Rom 1:3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; Does the flesh mean “physical body”? I don’t believe it does, since we are told our flesh must be destroyed, but we also must bring forth the fruits of the spirit in our body. How can our body be destroyed if God uses it to walk by the Spirit in us? What is led of the Spirit? Our soul to be sure, but our soul lives in a body and even though ultimately the "body will become the Lords body" the Church, we also walk in our own body to bring forth either fruits of the flesh or spirit. Look Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. To finish, I want to say, no carnal mind will receive these things from any man, but from Christ directly. The faith of the Son of God comes to us little by little and this holy faith is built up in us from faith to faith. The law is spiritual, but we are not under it if we are led of the Spirit. The Spirit is IN US, hence the law is then in us, we are no longer lawless and we are not under the law, but the law is IN US, for the law is spiritual. It is written Judah will keep the law “under his feet” till Shiloh comes. Once Messiah is come to Judah and circumcises his heart with the law, the word, (good will) will be IN HIM, in his Heart motivating him to walk out what the Lord put in, his very own good will to bring peace on earth. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. Gal 5:16 ¶ [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. We are only under the law when we are led by the flesh, for it is judged already. Yet when we walk by the Spirit, we are not under the law, but the law works from within, because Jesus Christ fulfills the law in our hearts to make us want to do right and finally he also ENALBES us to do accordingly…… Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 2Ti 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen. Day 54 Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression. Rom 4:16 Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, The law actually killed Paul; look ….Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Rom 7:10 And the commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I found [to be] unto death. Rom 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me]. Rom 7:12 wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Rom 7:13 ¶ was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. The reason we need the mediator (Christ) between men and God, is because we can’t stand before a holy God and live while we are yet sinners, yet it is written God loved us while we are yet sinners, so how could he come to us? God is “in Christ” reconciling the world to himself. God moves in the mediator (like oil) to anoint us and clean us up so we can become “one with him as Christ is one with him”. Once we are made one by God in Christ, once God forms the “Spirit” in us to make us “man”(baptized into Jesus name) we shall be in his image and likeness and the man in his image and likeness is Jesus, hence, we are baptized “by Holy Spirit and fire” into that name above all names. In the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess him to the glory of the Father, even as every “eye shall see him”, become an “eye-witness” of Jesus. What else does oil do? God uses it as a metaphor of the substance he moves within. Oil preserves, cleanses, is used for lighting, smoothing, and rises above water (sea of emotions in man). Christ is able to rise in men above their own emotions and even enables God to pluck up the evil root of the tree of knowledge in men. The tree of knowledge has two roots, one evil and one good. Adam was told not to eat of its fruit. The root is beneath the earth and when the stars fall as we see Paul fall to the earth, they are closer to the root of the tree, hence, they have gone down Jacobs ladder (the soul) to the root. God then grafts Israel back into the tree of life but the good root and the gentiles who are grafted into the fallen branches of Israel will be raised with Israel that is exiled within them. God is able to do all this within us at the appointed time, the time of our visitation, the time of our apprehension where we can no longer escape from God and this is indeed for our own good. Day 54 Rom 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband. Rom 7:3 So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.(Why does Paul explain this? The same reason he told how the marriage relationship is they mystery of Christ and his bride). Continuing in Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter. Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. (last of the ten commandments) Rom 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead. The woman (Israel) is married (joined) to Satan (old will ruling the old man/Adam) and must become a widow before Christ can marry her or he too will commit adultery and break the law. Christ fulfills the law in us so he can not marry us till he destroys the old man so the ‘body of sin’ can be destroyed and become the “body of the Lord Jesus Christ” her head. Christ makes Israel and Judah together “MAN” because Jesus is the “Man” in Gods image and likeness. I discussed the story of David, Nabal and Abigail many times over the years which shows us the process for an example. (I Samuel 25). Nabal means stupid wicked man. Abigail means “my father is joy” (the joy of the Lord is her strength). David lets Nabal be keeper of his possessions, land, beasts and all, but comes back one day to lay claim to them. Nabal says who is this David? He doesn’t want to give the stuff back to David. Long story made short (read it because it is great), Abigail representing the soul meets David on the way back to get his stuff away from Nabal (old man of sin who is married to her) and she diffuses David’s anger at Nabal. David tells her to prepare a feast for Nabal, where he gets drunk (Holy Spirit) and God kills Nabal so Abigail can marry David. In short this is the story of us and Jesus Christ. We are rid of our old man so we can become a widow (poor in Spirit) and become ready to marry the Lord and bring forth spiritual fruit. Day 55 Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. The Son (Christ) is sent in the likeness of sinful flesh and this is how God condemns sin in the flesh. This is also why there is no condemnation for those who are “in Christ” because they are no longer of the flesh or sinners. Paul explains that sin is still a law in him (lower members till the gentile nature *mind* is renewed), but he explains it is Christ in him that lives and not his own flesh. In Christ we are the righteousness of God, and the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, even as we walk after the Spirit. Once Christ is in us, he will lead us into all righteousness, in other words, he will lead us to be complete “in him”, the full stature of the “man” Jesus Christ. The law could not be followed by the flesh, the carnal (fleshly) mind. So God gave us his Son, (seed of the woman/soul) in order to transform us spiritually, deliver our soul (Jacob/Israel) and renew our mind (gentile/nations). God wrote the Word in our heart and mind instead of leaving it on “stones’ outside of our soul where our carnal mind could read the law, but remain at enmity with the law. Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our “old man” is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; (we died in the first Adam but are made alive in the Last Adam, each man in his own order), I Cor 15. Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Cr 4:11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. Notice the outcome is that the spirit will quicken and manifest in our “Mortal flesh”. Christ in us brings us to life, spirit, soul and body, and our flesh will be as his flesh when we are finished being quickened by the “Spirit’ that is given to us to seal us spirit and soul. At the coming of Christ, the soul is quickened (David, the house of Judah, hence our heart circumcision makes us a “Jew” and we receive the “key of David”). The Psalms were written by David to show us how the soul experiences the coming of Messiah to the soul. Psa 71:20 [Thou], which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Psa 80:18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Psa 119:25 DALETH. (fourth letter of Hebrew alphabet: All of Psalm 119, longest Psalm in the Bible are written as the process of the Hebrew letters in the soul). Psalm 119:25 is at the level of “daleth” the open door, and it says…..My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. Psa 119:37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way. Psa 119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. Psa 119:88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony/witness of thy mouth. Psa 119:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. Psa 119:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. Psa 119:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. Psa 119:156 Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. Psa 119:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. Psa 143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. We are not literally part of the circumcision of the heart or a Jew till we experience the “sword” piercing our heart, (receive the “key of David) the “flaming sword which protects the “tree of life” in every direction: (The Word is engrafted to put in us the perfect law of liberty). Yet for 26 years I believed many things by faith and they are always counted to us as righteousness when we believe by faith. Yet in experience, without the Word engrafted into our heart, we are in darkness in the Kingdom of Satan who is the God of “this world”, ruled by the spirit of antichrist. Yet it is Christ in us who will take us out of one Kingdom and translate us into the Kingdom of God and his Christ, amen? Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God. Does that mean a Jew doesn't need faith just because he is given the oracles of God; The law of God in his heart. Rom 3:1 ¶ What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision? Rom 3:2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Gal 3:26 ¶ For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. The Jew in us is fulfilled by receiving the oracles (spirit of prophecy) in the heart through the Sword that pierces the heart of the Jew. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; Rom 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: The ‘man who worketh good is Jesus in us, the LAMB (pure and good will of God) in us who will lead us (we are desire, God is “will”). Day 56 The seven angels of the seven churches are addressed by Jesus in the "midst" of them and are told what they did right and what they didn't yet accomplish when they are judged. The seven churches are the "candle of the Lord that searches the inward parts of man", hence the neshama or breath of God, or what Jews call the Jewish soul. It is written, the neshama is the candle of the LORD searching the inwards parts of the heart). Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue (union with) of Satan. Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Why are false Jews or those whose heart has not been circumcised by the Word said to be of the synagogue of Satan? They are still married to the "old spirit", the old man so they are in union, (synagogue means union with) Satan. Saul was a Jew who was once of that persuasion and it is a story hidden in the Word, but I will quicken it to you now: This is actually another story of Saul's conversion from the Kingdom of Darkness and Satan to the Kingdom of Christ and light. Ask the Holy Spirit to interpret and make sure for yourself that what I say is true in your spirit: Act 13:5 And when they were at Salamis,(salt) they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John (blessed of Yah) to [their] minister. Act 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos,(boiling, hot) they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was] Barjesus: (son of Jesus) Act 13:7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius(earth born, a wonder) Paulus (little), a prudent man; who called for Barnabas (son of rest) and Saul (asked), (here is Paul's old name before his conversion) and desired to hear the word of God. Act 13:8 But Elymas (wise man) the sorcerer (magus/magi) (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. (Satan is the serpent (will) that was to be wisdom to Adam, hence Jesus said be ye wise as serpents but harmless as doves/Israel. Jesus is the serpent that is able to eat the crooked serpent and swallow death with life when he lifts up the crooked serpent and make him one with himself on the cross. Act 13:9 Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, (recognizes the crooked serpent) Act 13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, [thou] child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? Act 13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Act 13:12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. Judah is prophesied to become blind before he can see: Gen 49:1 ¶ And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last days. Gen 49:8 Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. (Remember this was given to Joseph, but here Ephraim and Joseph are one tribe in the last days). Gen 49:9 Judah [is] a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? Judah experiences both the old lion (Satan) and the young lion (Jesus the lion from the tribe of Judah): Gen 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be]. I did a post on the gathering of Israel and how it would be through Ephraim and Manasseh and here is whom they will gather the people to Messiah in Judah, hence Jesus is born in Judah and Ephraim together to make one stick/tribe out of both of these tribes. Lets finish the prophecy towards Judah: Ass is the metaphor for “the soul’ hence Jesus rides the ass into Jerusalem. Gen 49:11 Binding his foal (ayir-to raise a burden, open the eyes, also a male ass) unto the vine, (gephen-Israel) and his ass's (athown-female ass,(soul) patient one) colt (son) unto the choice vine (Christ); he washed his garments in wine (Holy Spirit), and his clothes in the blood of grapes (Christ’s vine): Gen 49:12 His eyes [shall be] red (chakliyl-from the root meaning to "be dark", dull, yet dark-flashing brilliant) with wine, and his teeth white with milk (word for the new born babes that enter the Promised Land). The darkness that comes with the day of the Lord is what blinds the Jew, but he is the one who sees this great brilliant light of God break into the darkness; The Jew is cast into this outer darkness but he will shout from the rooftops what is revealed to him here. Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Mat 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Mat 10:27 ¶ What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops. Jhn 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Jhn 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jhn 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. Act 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: Act 13:11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Act 26:18 To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light (which is also the amour of God). 1Cr 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. (Judah means “praise of God”) Cr 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Eph 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them]. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: 1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (the thief comes to the “old man” in us but not the “new man”). 1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1Pe 2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. 1Jo 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. Day 57 The “coming of the Lord” follows Elijah’s coming to those who can “receive’ it. Jesus asked if John’s baptism (spirit of Elijah (his God is Yah) was from heaven or men? No one knows till they are baptized by this water baptism according to the purification method of the Jews who wait for Elijah to come to this day. John and Jesus (Aaron and Judah) are the first two tribes gathered even though Ephraim is already made one with Judah at the birth of Jesus. It is Aaron/Levi who are the high priests in every generation that need to be purified, hence John said he must decrease so Christ (the Lamb of God that takes away the SIN of the world (antichrist spirit) can increase. John is beheaded in order for the soul to receive her “new head” Jesus Christ. Mal 3:1 ¶ Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: Mal 3:3 And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, (Aaron) and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Exodus 29:28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons for ever from the children of Israel: for it [is] an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, [even] their heave offering unto the LORD. Exd 29:29 ¶ And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. back to Malachai.............. Mal 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in [his] wages, the widow,(soul who is severed from antichrist) and the fatherless, (children who have not yet returned to their father) and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (It is the LORD who keeps Israel and makes them his inheritance, Isaiah 19:19). Mal 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept [them]. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? TITHES: Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes (tenth) and offerings. (terumah-from ruwm, to rise up, be exalted, set on high, lifed up: Jesus said if I be lifted up, I will draw-drag-pull all men unto me.) Remember the "Song of Moses" that discusses the blessings and curses and how it will take Messiah to do away with the curse through the cross? Mal 3:9 Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, [even] this whole nation. Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,(owtsar-treasure) that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it]. Mal 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 3:12 And all nations (gentiles) shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. In the New Testament or covenant which God replaced the first covenant with because he found fault with the first one was written on stone and not man's heart where it would be more than a carnal ordinance. The law is only partially understood with the carnal mind. Does the LORD receive the tithe? Hbr 7:8 And here "men that die" receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. Levi receives tithes of Israel but there in the new Covenant where the law is written in mans heart and mind, he, God receives them of whom it is ‘witnessed’ (have a witness of Jesus). Ye shall be witnesses of me. John was the first witness when he cried, “behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world”. What about collecting money? Tithes are therefore the first-fruits of our soul, which is Christ in the soul. The ego/self becomes subservient to the soul. Judas gives Christ to the high priest in us so we can be baptized by fire and the Holy Spirit not too many days hence. If we don’t give up our ego willingly, our self willingly by taking up our cross to follow Jesus to the place of the skull (Israel’s dead bones beginning with the head (we are all dead in the first Adam), Israel in us won’t be able to handle the fire baptism that is for the “spirit” within us. Einstein said man only uses about ten percent of his brain. Man goes round and round the same grooves he knows himself to be. If we give up this familiar spirit we will be severed spirit and soul in order for the spirit to be taken up, lifted up by being crucified with Christ, and the soul/woman who brings him forth will be taken to the wilderness, a place inside we have never been through before. Eye has not seen nor ear heard the things God has prepared for them who love him. 1Cr 16:1 ¶ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 1Cr 16:2 Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. The word store is the same word Jesus used in Luke 12:21 So is he that lays up "treasure" for himself and is not rich towards God. Also Mathew 6:20, But lay up (store) for yourself treasure in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through or steal. Paul also speaks to the Corinthians about giving: 2Cr 9:6 ¶ But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2Cr 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2Cr 9:8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work: 2Cr 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Hbr 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. Jam 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Day 58 Jam 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: Jam 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. Jam 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all. 1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Again.......we all died in the first Adam but we all shall be made alive in the Last Adam (life quickening Spirit) each man in his own order. Isa 26:19 Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Isa 59:10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if [we had] no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; [we are] in desolate places as dead [men]. Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead. 1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Who else gave of the first-fruits of the land instead of the animals (desires)? Cain, who was a tiller of the field (world) while Abel was a keeper of the sheep (desires for God). Hbr 7:6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. Hbr 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. Hbr 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. Hbr 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. Hbr 7:10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec (King of Righteousness) met him. Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this [is the name] wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut [it] short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. Hbr 7:11 ¶ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Hbr 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Hbr 7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. Hbr 7:14 For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. Hbr 7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Hbr 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. Hbr 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (it is written we become a royal (Kingly as from Judah) and Holy Priesthood (the Lord our righteousness): Hbr 7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. Hbr 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God. The better hope is our hope in Christ, a hope we have faith in because it is written, faith is the substance of things hoped for (freedom from sin, health, the promise made to Abraham and his seed) and the evidence of things not seen. Substance is the ‘form” of life itself Psa 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth (we are the earth, the dust God works in to make Man, and his name is Jesus). Pro 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. Pro 10:3 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. Isa 6:11 ¶ Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, Isa 6:12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and [there be] a great forsaking in the midst of the land. Isa 6:13 But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil (elah-ram, pillar, door post) tree, and as an oak,whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance thereof. Pro 29:3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots (carnal mind) spendeth [his] substance. Luk 15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. Hbr 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Day 59 I didn’t understand how to discern what manner of spirit a man is of until I received Christ and his Grace and truth, and became a part of the Lord’s body, which is not the “body of sin”. Luk 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? Luk 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. Luk 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save [them]. Eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the “Son of Man” means eating the Word and drinking the Holy Spirit. If we do it with the carnal mind, the letter will kill us because we are not able to “discern” the Spirit of the Word that gives us life. Yet Paul spoke of his dying daily because the “body of sin” still needs to be destroyed once the “old man, the man of sin, the man of lawlessness” is crucified with Christ, the soul is freed from him and ready to be sanctified in the wilderness (inner place we have never been before). 1Cr 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 1Cr 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another "discerning of spirits"; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: Mal 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Eze 44:23 And they shall teach my people [the difference] between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. Jon 4:11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and [also] much cattle? Hbr 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. When we first enter the Kingdom as babes, praise is perfected in our mouth and even though evil will also revealed in our soul, our 'senses' (mind) is not able to discern evil and good at first. We drink the pure milk of the Word and it builds us up, but at some time, we need to eat the meat (Jesus said we must eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to be with him). Jesus said he had meat that his disciples didn't know anything about, and it was to do the "will of the Father". Jesus also said those who did the will of the Father, would be his mother (good ground within them would bring forth the "first-fruits" of their new creation, Christ springing up, rising in the soul, our first resurrection, the 30 (new will) 60 (new heart-first sheep, desires for God alone) and 100 fold (new mind-other sheep-desires of the mind to “focus” or think on things above, which is the Word engrafted in our heart). Jer 31:27 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. Jer 4:3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. Hsa 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them which were] not my people, Thou [art] my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God. (Once Israel and Judah are in the ‘midst’ of the gentile nature, these who are not his people, will recognize God at the visitation. Hsa 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Jer 31:28 And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD. Jer 31:29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. Jer 31:30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Jer 31:31 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (hence the law is spiritual and good, but God puts it in us through Jesus Christ risen in us, given to us as our first resurrection. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, (gentile) and every man his brother, (Israel) saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Luk 8:11 ¶ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Luk 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. Luk 8:13 They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. Jesus said he was the ‘root’ (holy root) of David and his offspring as well. Luk 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection. Luk 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with patience. Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Day 60 Jhn 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jhn 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. Act 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindred’s of the earth be blessed. Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Hbr 2:16 For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham. Who is the “he” that took on him the ‘seed of Abraham’? Hebrew 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hbr 2:10 ¶ For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Hbr 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Hbr 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. Hbr 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Hbr 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Hbr 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hbr 2:16 For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham. Hbr 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Hbr 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. If Jesus was tempted, did he also sin? I can’t believe it but there are a group of people out there who believe Jesus sinned like all men sinned. While it is true that Christ became sin for us so we could become the righteousness of God in Christ, it is completely erroneous to claim that Christ sinned. Hbr 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin. Hbr 9:28 So Christ was once offered “to bear the sins of many”; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. These same people who claim that Jesus sinned, will also claim that Christ was the “Son of God” but Jesus was a man like all of us. Yet it is written, Christ is called Jesus and Jesus is the Christ. It is also written Christ died for our sins, and it is also written 1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. And…Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom 8:34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Rom 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. So is Jesus the Saviour or only Christ in Jesus? Act 13:23 Of this man's seed (Christ) hath God according to [his] promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: Jesus is the “MAN” God forms out of his Spirit Christ, who has no form. Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him 1Sa 10:6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. Job 32:8 But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Pro 17:27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: [and] a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Pro 18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? Pro 20:27 The spirit of man [is] the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and "formeth the spirit of man within him" Hence this is how God forms Man in his image and likeness, and his NAME is JESUS (salvation of Jehovah). Israel is built up by the “Spirit of prophecy” which confesses Israel unto their salvation. The witness/testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev 19:10) so upon “seeing” Jesus, becoming a witness of him, we receive the ‘spirit of prophecy’ poured out on all our flesh and are able to build the whole man/house of Israel out of dead men’s bones. Jesus said the inside of the cup needs to be clean, because the inside is full of dead men’s bones. It is what comes out of a man that defiles him, and death will leave with the spirit of antichrist, the spirit of the world. Day 61 Another summary of Israel the elect hidden in our gentile nature: After my old spirit/ruach was crucified with Christ (baptized by fire), it was divided from my soul (woman): God separates these through the “sword of his Word”, Hebrew 6, to rectify them one at a time: The ten horns (vessel for light and power) are divided into two parts. Three upper vessels, wisdom, understanding and "knowledge" (union) which connects with the seven lower candlesticks or churches and the lower get their light from the upper three. Knowledge is either hidden or revealed: If it is hidden, the "crown of life" represents the Messiah as someone "outside" of the realm of our experience (letter of the Word): If it is "revealed knowledge" the crown of life is "received" to overcome, to go forth conquering and to conquer. The first horseman of the apocalypse has the crown of life and he is riding on a white horse, (spirit) and he has a bow, (toxon from the root tikto-to bring forth, bear, produce fruit from seed, of a woman giving birth, the earth bringing forth its fruits). In my experience, the "coming of the Lord" began with the "first resurrection", (bringing forth the first-fruits of all creation, Christ, through my soul and then a couple of years later, the revelation of darkness (Satan) began. So first the "crown of life" and the firstfruits are revealed, which is our ability to go forth conquering (nikao-being victorious in the spiritual warfare to follow which is in heavenly places) or the inner kingdom, which begins with the crown of life (stephanos-where the name Stephen comes from) and the "man-child" our union with Christ that will get victory over Satan in us: Jhn 16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. Jhn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome (conquered) the world. Also, Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome (conquer) when thou art judged. Rom 3:5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) Rom 3:6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? (the world is ruled by the "spirit of antichrist" who is overcome along with the "old will" (beast) and false prophet (carnal mind). At first, the LIGHT in me was so great, so wonderful, and I knew it was CHRIST and I knew it was LOVE and I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt I had been anointed (crown of life): I wish I could have stayed this way forever, but it is written, just as they are saying "peace and safety" SUDDEN DESTRUCTION will come, but why? The potter (GOD) shatter the vessel (of vanity-carnal mind) with the LIGHT OF CHRIST (in the twinkling of an eye) because Christ can not be held in such a small vessel as the “mind” very long: It begins breaking.....crack....crack......and before long, the abomination of desolation (wicked heart) is revealed, because behind the vessel of vanity (man's mind) is a desolate wilderness where God "forms the Spirit (Christ) into Man-Jesus" within that soul. God makes "man" in his image and likeness with "US" (Let US make Man, the creation and creator together). God “forms the formless Christ Spirit" into Man in four parts even as Jesus "outer garment" (light formed into “man”) was divided at the cross in four parts. His INNER garment (Christ) is not divided but goes from heaven to earth as one large light. Once the soul brings forth the first fruits of all creation (Christ), he takes our old spirit and separates it from the soul in order to crucify the old man with himself to make "one new man". The New Man is the union (knowledge) that comes from the heart that now has understanding (circumcision). Wisdom and understanding are the two that never part. Wisdom is the light from above, and understanding grasps this light at the level of "recreation" to build the "new Man" (uniting the upper three lights of wisdom, understanding and knowledge with the lower seven candlesticks). The woman or soul is brought into the wilderness by the "wings of a great eagle (who gathers where the "dead body" lies). God gathers the woman into the wilderness after her first husband/spirit dies at the cross to make that spirit ONE with Christ to become the “man-child” within. Here she has a place prepared for her to be "sanctified" (the seven seals and seven angels are sanctified by the "seven spirits of God" on the Lamb (pure will of God revealed in us). The sanctification of the woman/soul in the wilderness is the destruction of “the body of sin” which decreases as Christ in us increases. The increase of Christ in us happens as the soul submits all desire to the will of God (Lamb) so he can marry her sanctified clean desires (Sheep that hear his voice) and become her husband: (wedding supper of the Lamb). Just as we finally feel we are safe and at peace, sudden destruction comes, but why? During this time the light that we first received, now seems to be disappearing, (Rev 6, the cover CHRIST seems to be gone. The “fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom”. Jesus said it is expedient that I go so the "comforter can come, the Spirit of truth that leads into all truth. Without the destruction of the old vessel of vanity and the conquering of the antichrist in us by making "one new will/man" out of twain at the cross, there would be no freedom. To have Satan destroyed in us, he must be revealed first. The darkest hour is when I saw the VISION of the SERPENT LIFTED UP, Jesus crucified, and then God lifted up the old man in me (if I be lifted up I will draw, drag, pull, all men unto me). Once the Spirit is joined to the Lord it is "ONE" Spirit (I Cor 6:17) and no more twain. Here is the destruction of the "enmity" God put between the "seed of the serpent" (carnal mind) and the "seed of the woman/soul" (Jesus Christ). Once the evil in us comes up out of this PIT, it is judged and made ONE SPIRIT, no longer two: Once our old man is crucified with Christ, and then comes the spiritual warfare in heaven, to make a NEW HEAVEN FIRST (new heart) and then a NEW EARTH (new mind) where righteousness dwells. Here the city (New Jerusalem our mother above) descends to give leaves (thoughts) for the healing of the nations/gentile nature, (to renew the mind with the "new will, new heavens in the heart, Gods throne). Now the gentile part of us becomes part of the commonwealth of Israel, adopted into Israel to manifest the "sons of God (Israel the elect) in us". This is how God makes Abraham the FATHER OF MANY NATIONS and not just Israel; by joining the 12 tribes (gates into the city made of one pearl divided into 12 parts) a pearl of great price, (joined to Jesus Christ). Here the city on the hill (Zion) will bring light to the nations/gentile natures grafted into the "fallen branches of Israel" (Romans 11) when the LORD visits Israel in judgment and mercy or with an outstretched arm and great judgment. Once the woman in the wilderness has overcome the great flood cast out by Satan (and God lifted up a banner *cross* to take the "man-child" to the throne so he can sanctify Israel in the wilderness), the earth (renewing of the mind) helps the woman. It swallows the flood of the Word to destroy the woman/soul of Israel. Here the "mind is renewed" by the "confession of the WORD" unto salvation, just like Jesus used the Word to overcome Satan in the wilderness when Satan twisted the scriptures (to his own destruction). Here we bind and loose on earth and heaven together as we confess the abundance of our heart unto our salvation. The seven spirits that come back to the "cleaned house" with the original Spirit that is now one with Christ to do the conquering or spiritual warfare in the heavens will be overcome by Christ. These are the messengers of Satan that buffeted Paul after he already “knew the Man” (Jesus) and his soul was in the wilderness (Arabia) for 14 years for its sanctification. The seven worse spirits than himself would also be overcome by “Grace” which is sufficient even as Gods strength *JOY* is made perfect in our/Paul’s weakness. These are the seven spirits of the “body of sin” that must be destroyed in this last generation. For me the "great tribulation" included my emotions (sea) tossing me to and fro (buffeting of Satan's messengers that are the tail (end) of Satan cast out of heaven to persecute the woman. The great tribulation is seven times more difficult than before Christ was revealed in me. I had a much harder time, more suffering, more mourning, more rejection, more mocking, more hate from others than anytime before in my whole life: This is why the first resurrection leads to the "second death" (lake of fire) that destroys hell and death in us. The seven are the addition of spirits (gentile spirits) that are grafted into the branches of Israel must all be conquered, Romans 11. Jesus Christ resurrected in us, raises both the just and the unjust: The righteous will shine like the stars in heaven and the unrighteous will go into everlasting destruction: When something is destroyed, it no longer exists: How is it destroyed? The same way everything is destroyed: Our God is a “consuming fire” (lake of fire)....and this is why gehenna (an garbage dump outside the city of Jerusalem) is a place the fire never goes out: As long as there is garbage to burn, there will be fire: Nothing evil can enter the city and the apostles (separated ones who have witnessed Jesus), are the foundation of the walls that keep evil out: The elect can't be fooled because they have the "spirit of truth" the comforter, the holy spirit that divides, burns away and comforts that which is enduring this sanctification process: The elect also have DIRECT contact with Jesus Christ, while the gentiles receive the BENEFITS of that union between Israel and Jesus Christ. Blood flows through the heart (Israel) and goes to the brain and body to bring oxygen (spirit) to the body and remove harmful (sin) co2 from the body: Interestingly enough, trees thrive on c02 and give off oxygen: The seven spirits are the portion that INCREASES the soul and also JOINS Israel and nations together so there is no more Israel, even though Israel will be as the sands of the sea and stars in heaven: Israel is the process by which God joins himself to the whole world and the way he does it is by becoming the "KING" (Good will) of Israel, so they can BRING righteousness and healing to the nations once they are visited and judged. Day 62 John 17:17 sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 1Ki 17:24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou [art] a man of God, [and] that the word of the LORD in thy mouth [is] truth. Time is no More: I am certainly not a technical writer or scientist, but only someone who has EXPERIENCED TIME STOP and start again, meaning I have experienced death and life in that order: What this has done for me, is show me how life works and will always work: The Bible is written in such a way that if you read it “present tense” as belonging to YOU now, it can bring you into reality and renew your mind instantly: However when you "study" it as a past occurrence, you get partial insight into how things worked for "them" in the past, and when you read prophecy and apply it to the future, you are still not in the “rest of God”. The present encompasses, past and future as ONE whole, and therefore is "TIMELESS". It is always a second from where you think it is, showing us that we can't capture time but it keeps moving, yet it is not going anywhere nor is it coming from anywhere. Time was created in the MIND to "dissect" reality into bites so we can digest it one morsel, one chew at a time. Adam and Eve wanted to "know" more than obey God, hence they were cast into time. Six days they would be cast out of the garden before they would be able to "rest" again. The irony and truth is that wisdom is not possible except in God’s mind. Time, reality and wisdom are not inclusive. Wisdom and reality are outside of time; hence Paul said "redeem the time" for the days are evil. Time is taking eternity and cutting it into pieces; it is like taking your cells and putting them under a microscope to study but you can only study them for a very short time like this, because they die like that. If you want LIVING CELLS, you have to leave them as part of the organism that they are which is determined in that first cell which must be allowed to move forward into its destiny or be aborted. So time is a box for watching LIFE in slow motion and stopping it at will in order to study its possibilities and what the organism is made of. The problem is we got lost in time and as Einstein said, we can't find our way out. Yet some people have found their way out through the "revelation of Jesus Christ" in their own soul. These (me included) got gathered, hooked back into the whole (Holiness), the organic origin as it begins and ends in that first cell. For me there is an element of "timelessness". Life is not just a study (forever learning), but an ongoing reality that never started or stopped in eternity. It only stopped (death) because of eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil). While we are in this box called time, we have to experience death and birth because we got out of step with reality, (eternal life). So how does all this fit in with the WORD being truth? The WORD is the language of reality. In other words, it has no beginning or end, but only as it is experienced in time. Once it comes out of time and back into timelessness, it is whole and complete and its gaps are part of the process of eternal movement. God never changes and God is the only true reality. My scientific grasp of what happened in the garden is that somehow, man wanted to enhance the gap or pulse of life, which is continually moving as in "death swallowed by LIFE, death, swallowed by LIFE, death, swallowed by LIFE", like a heart beat. I see God-reality upholding creation in this manner. During my own regeneration I saw and understood that this is "how" life works. As I see it, the creator knows how to handle the gap between death............being swallowed by LIFE. Once Adam ate of this knowledge, he didn't know how to do this even though he wanted the experience of the individual gaps that would explain reality in bite size portions called time. It is like putting someone in animated suspension but yet, allowing them to see what happens if the process of reality is subverted to analysis. The WRITTEN WORD tries to show in TIME what happens in timelessness through the process of language and that WORD is TRUTH. What this means, it really tells you “how” life works and not how we wish it works, or how it should work, but simply and truly “How” life works. The brain guides the body and that is not a philosophical statement; its true and if you cut off the head to see if its true, you will prove it. Having said all that, I want to concur that eternity includes past, present and future in the now because there is no such thing as a real break in the now except in this thing called the "mind" that perceives time. Time is the microscope for analysis of how reality works, slowed down, dissected, charted, explained in details, but certainly NOT able to change one single thing about it. As a matter of fact, when all the analysis is complete, the mind will come to the ultimate conclusion that it couldn't change one single thing; it had to accept reality on its own terms. In Judaism I learned the Torah is one whole name of God. There are not really words as such, but the name of God is the Torah/law of life. It is written, the Torah is a “tree of life” if you can grasp it. One must grasp it as a whole and then you can see God. Of course the carnal or fleshly mind can never do that since its only a microscope to see bits and pieces, letters and words, and not the whole of reality of what is written in words separated by spaces in between letters and paragraphs. Jesus Christ is said to be the “living Torah”, meaning the “tree of life” in organic form so you can take him apart, one single action or word at a time. Yet in trying to put him together with the mind we find he stumbles us and he keeps slipping through our hands. Yet this is what we all must come to perceive. God wants us to see that the sum of the parts are so much less than the whole, meaning our mind can't grasp the parts till we take him out from under its influence and experience Christ....experience the Torah/law as the tree of life that it is. In order to experience Chris, God must stop time long enough for us to get out of it and see the whole (Holy) again. The stopping of time leads to transcendence of time and then we will be able to look at the parts and see them for their beauty and not for the hope to find meaning. In seeking for the truth by looking at the parts, we can't appreciate the wonder of how the parts fit into the whole, hence, we simply become indifferent to the parts, like they are not as important as the whole. Yet once we see the WHOLE, then all the parts become sacred, important and we treat the parts with the dignity they deserve; It is the difference between a mortician doing an autopsy and cutting around on the parts of the body to find out what made it die and a lover enjoying the parts of his beloveds body because every part is precious to him. Having said all that, I want to add that as the whole is now beautiful, the mind is renewed by looking at the true parts because it is able to grasp it as part of a whole that it couldn't grasp before revelation. The Spirit is always in the now, in the whole when it is joined to God. Yet a wicked spirit is one that is not joined to God and needs Christ to bring that spirit back to unity in God. The new mind will always look at the parts of that whole, enjoying every tiny little hair, smile line, twinkle of the eye, move of the finger in relation to what it holds, plays (music, art, science), well, everything becomes beautiful when we see the pieces of the, while never loosing sight of the whole. This is what we are doing and working for: this is what we will all know one day, how beautiful reality is even while being able to enjoy it in its minute parts, while never loosing consciousness of the whole thing in the present moment. For me this is more than an appealing thought, it is sacred. Till we all see this way, we have to endure the infighting of the body, the parts that exalt themselves against the whole not even realizing how they are hurting themselves in the long run. The Bible speaks of this "ending" of time. Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be "time no longer": Ecc 8:5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. Why both? Because judgment brings the "end" of time and the beginning of eternity: The following verse takes on a new meaning in this way as well. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at "any time"; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him]. 1Jo 4:12 No man hath seen God at "any time". If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. The love of God is not forced once we see the whole: It is impossible not to love when you realize where and who you are in God: That is why the” individual members" of the body can't keep the law. They are separated by the "carnal mind" that is in time. Here we don't see the advantage of the whole, it but the whole (Spirit) always keeps the law, for it functions as the law of life. John 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the "time cometh", when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. Redeeming us is saying time stops and we are taken out of time, which is a prolonged sense of death because it is of the mind, the microscope to analyze reality. Psa 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. Whenever you see the word "SELAH" it means "intermission" of time: in this intermission that happens in the “twinkling of an eye” (like rebooting a computer only much more serious and difficult since we are being rebooted), but in this selah, intermission, we are shown how reality works within us. The crucifixion experience lifts the spirit out of time and space to rejoin with God as a whole (in holiness without which no man shall see God). Selah - to lift up, exalt 1) a technical musical term probably showing accentuation, pause, interruption Hsa 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Pro 15:15 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil: but he that is of a merry heart [hath] a continual feast. Day 63 Psa 48:11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. Psa 97:8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. Isa 3:17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head (her carnal mind) of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. Isa 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. Isa 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Zep 3:14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. Zec 2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst (heart) of thee, saith the LORD. Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. The King is Gods Good Will within the daughters of Zion, and this is Jesus Christ born, risen, revealed in us. This King rides upon an ass and the cold of the foal of an ass: The King is JUST (tzaddik-righteous Man) having salvation (Jesus the name means salvation of Jehovah because Jesus is Jehovah's good will within the daughters of Zion, in the midst/heart of them) lowly (aniy-) poor, afflicted, humble, wretched, needy, weak, lowly, meek, mild, piety, from anah-to be put down, become low, humbled, weaken oneself, oppressed: he rides on an ass (chamowr) which is a red ass, meaning a wild ass, representing the "first Adam", the red man, in whom Jesus is born through and in: Chamor is from chamar-to boil up, ferment, foam up, be troubled, in turmoil, seal up, smear with asphalt: this is the ass that represents the soul of the first man, in whom we died and Jesus in us will cause all that is wrong in us, carnal in us, to be purified by fire: The GOOD WILL born in this Adam/man is the rider of this Ass/man: But Jesus also rides upon a colt (ayir-to open the eyes, raise a burden, a male ass) from the root uwr, waken oneself, stir up, rise up, incite, to be hot, ardent, alert watchful: The ayir male ass or colt is actually part of the red ass, the BEN (son) of an ass/athown. Now this athown is the female ass: a she donkey, from the root word eythan-perpetual, constant, perennial, ever flowing, permanent, enduring, and constant. This female ass brings forth a son who rises to make her perpetual, enduring, and ever flowing: This is the soul that will become "the new man" because of this Son who is also the Son of Adam, (chamor) the first soul in whom we all died: Day 64 What is the mystery of the Kingdom" ? Jesus said to you it is given to know (da’ath in Hebrew and gnosis in Greek) the mystery of the Kingdom. Mar 4:10 ¶ And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. Mar 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables: Mar 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and [their] sins should be forgiven them. Israel will remain exiled in the gentile nature in all generations till the time of their visitation, Jeremiah 27. It is written that there is an hour no man knows when Israel will have the kingdom restored unto them. Yet in order to see it and enter it, one must become like a little child. What this means is your "heart" has to repent till you find the "root" of the tree of knowledge of good and evil so the evil side can be plucked up and tossed into the "sea, leaving the good root and Jesus said, I am the root and offspring of David (beloved soul after Gods own heart). Since the "carnal mind will not repent", what will? The Spirit of Elijah (spirit of repentance, John’s baptism) is sent from God, from heaven, to help your soul repent. (Jacob/Israel is the soul and Esau is the mind of Isaac. Esau (hairy like a beast) which is where Edom (red) comes from is the hunter in the field or the carnal mind in the world. He is not meant for the birthright: The second birth (Jacob the heel catcher and supplanter of Esau) or of the carnal mind is meant to have the birthright or the union with God. God himself will help you to "put your hand to the plough" and return to the Root of the tree of knowledge of good and evil: The root is really the "crown of life", since we are upside down (images). The good root of the tree is Christ and the offspring is Jesus Christ the Man in Gods image and likeness, the new man, the last Adam. Without our soul going down Jacobs ladder to find the root, Christ can not be revealed and you can't see the Kingdom much less enter it, because Christ is the WAY back to the Father’s house, a house built with "living stones" (sons): Jesus Christ is God in those stones to make them living again: God is in Jesus Christ the MAN in Gods image and likeness. The body of Jesus Christ is his Church, but why? The Church/elect give birth to Christ, the first fruits of all creation and then, this LIGHT which is the LIFE of Man, forms JESUS every time the soul/Church/woman submits her DESIRE to her husband Jesus Christ: So first things first.......REPENT .......return to the root of the tree if you want to see Jesus and "know" (gnosis) him: So in summary, we need to repent to receive the "mind of Christ" to help you finish the race where "ONE" wins: Jesus Christ is the ONE, and he makes you ONE with himself as he is ONE with the Father. The word repent doesn't mean telling God you are sorry for your sins, but rather it means "return", go home to God: You can't return by evolving yourself but by "letting go" of your mind so you can receive the "mind of Christ" in its place: I must decrease so Christ in me can increase: By finding the ROOT of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you will understand why you had to return, go backwards (let go of your life, your self) and not forwards in time. You will find "time is no more" when you finish your return, your repentance: You will understand why Jesus said he was the ‘root and offspring of David”: The root of the tree is really the "crown of life" given to someone who comes riding with a crown and bow in his hands and he is told to overcome: Paul says "let no man take your crown” but first you have to receive it: The "mind of Christ" is the crown of LIFE, and it is given for you to conquer and go forth conquering: The first horse and his rider of the apocalypse, the revelation of Jesus Christ is the “Son of man/Adam” given the means by which he can conquer, get victory. Without the crown of life, you can't overcome because you don't know how till it is given: God is the author and finisher of our faith and that is why we can't boast of anything in the end: Even the desire to return to God, repent, is given to us by God. Jesus asked the Pharisees, tell me, Johns baptism, is it from heaven or from men? They didn't know and neither does anyone who has not truly repented, returned to the root of the tree: Only those who have repented, like putting their hand to the PLOUGH (menorah, the LIGHT) and not look back at the world and its answers, will find their way to the Kingdom within: The light literally burns deep furrows into your brain that allows the light to penetrate deeper areas that are able to receive the higher frequencies of LIGHT, that is the life of Man. This is a physical explanation, but the truth is, the brain is a receiver only and not the source for what it receives: The brain is like a radio......it needs something to pick up from outside it: Christ is the LIGHT the brain can receive on a certain channel and that channel is deep within (good ground, favored ground of being) where no man has ever gone before (Mary the virgin of Israel never knew a man) and that is why its called the wilderness. Day 65 Did Jesus deny being good? Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Jesus wasn't saying he was not good, but he was making a point that the one who called him good, did not "know" the ONE that is good: Why? Because he wanted to "do good" to have eternal life: He didn't yet know only God in him would or could give him this life. Who is that ONE that says he is the resurrection and life? Who is the "righteousness of God in us"? People who use this verse to say Jesus was not good, didn't understand the point Jesus was making to inform the one asking about how to get life. The point is not by trying to do good, but by "being One with the "ONE who is good. Jesus explained the commandments to him: Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Mat 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? The young man still didn't get it: He still laid claim to being the one who kept the law; he didn't understand what he lacked: Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast (Christ in you that you claim for your own self), and give to the poor (widow within), and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me. This is why Jesus asked these questions of the young man: He was still rich (spiritually) and his soul was not yet poor in Spirit. He still had a sense of his own personal life in him that he didn't want to give up to follow Jesus: He wasn't interested in the treasure in heaven but what he could keep here: He just wanted to do something, not give up anything, especially his own self or life to gain the life of the One. Mat 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. (ktema is from the root ktaomai- meaning "to get a wife, procure a thing for oneself to possess: marry a wife). He was not willing to lay down his life, his spirit, to find eternal life, which is to become ONE with the only one who is good as Jesus said he was one with that one. Mat 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mat 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel (poor man) to go through the eye of a needle (narrow road to life), than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mat 19:25 When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? Mat 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. When our hour comes, it is God who both calls and justifies and sanctifies the soul. It is not men who repent, but God who sends the spirit of repentance to Israel within so they can go down Jacob’s ladder to find the root of their soul. Day 66 Many times over the past 17 years I asked others, what is Spirit? Most people don't really understand "will" because they confuse it with thought or feelings. God’s pure will is the power to act what God is, hence, "I am what I am and I will be what I will be. Will is the fire (Holy Spirit) in the brain that moves thoughts and feelings: The first time I read about the "will being the fire in the brain" I read it in "The universe is a green dragon". I can't even remember the author of that book but I immediately recognized that this is the Holy Spirit both willing and doing in us of his good pleasure. Will can be measured on devices that measure brain activity, so when we speak of GODS WILL, we have to KNOW (have deep union) and understand science and ourselves (earthly things) which are all parables of heavenly or spiritual things: Jesus spoke in parables for those who were outside the Kingdom, (heavenly or spiritual sphere) in other words, those who "understood and knew" what good will is in us, in terms of life's movement within their own "being'. In Him we move and breathe and have our being. Those who do not understand how LIFE works (nature and spirit), get things explained in parables so they can "LOOK" at nature and get some kind of idea of the movement of life and how it works. Example would be when Jesus explained the growth of wheat: it grows in three stages, showing that the WORD (which is likened to wheat) grows in us to make us over, spirit, soul and body: Everything in nature shows us something about the will of the Spirit moving all nature around as it wills. The Bible is a book that explains things in "words" but the words are building blocks for what is called "The WORD": The Unity of All words that explain Gods actions, his WILL, his movement in creation: The manifestation will be evident sooner or later because as nature has stages of growth that eventuate in "visible manifestations" so does the SPIRIT: The fruit of the tree so to speak. Now, the deeper someone goes into the spiritual realm, meaning the more they have experienced the "process of life" from beginning to end the more they relate to the writings of the BIBLE: The spiritual realm actually begins when the "carnal" or visible realm ENDS, because everything has a beginning and an end, but for us, the BEGINNING becomes VISIBLE at the END: It is like a scientist trying to find the "ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE" so he can understand how all things began. If one can understand the beginning, they can usually understand everything that comes from this beginning: Watching a baby grow in the womb, helps us understand how the human organism has developed and this helps us to treat developmental problems more easily: Same with the human psyche: If we understand how children grow mentally from infancy, we can help the adult who is maladjusted by zoning in on the areas he may not have had the opportunity or chance to develop normally: Erick Erickson did a lot of work on the developmental process, but he emphasized that if a child grows crooked from the first crisis stage which is trust vs. mistrust, the rest of the stages will be tainted by this very primary disorder of the psyche. Gail Sheehy did later developmental study in her books Passages and Pathfinders, which showed that people don't stop developing just because they become adults: I said all that to emphasize that Spirit is the "will of movement" behind the whole enchilada and Spirit does not skip steps. God is a God of order so if the WILL is "stunted" at some point due to 'bad thinking, behavior or feelings", it will not move the organism more fully to the next level till it deals with the stages before the present level. Every level one doesn't cope with brings baggage to the next level of psychological development. So, one can not really speak of purely spiritual things till they have dealt with the human stuff they have to deal with: That is why some people opt to become monks or meditate on a mountain, so their human issues are limited and they can get busy moving their will to the bottom of their life experience where they will find the "root" of the tree of life, the origin of will itself. I found this in 1992, which is why I know what I’m talking about; it was not study, but "regression" of the will, hence, repentance, the return home to the Father's house. Coming to the end of self before you actually die, is really coming to the beginning of all things, and then you get to be an observer of the "Will" moves you to a "new creation", a new Man, which is nothing more and nothing less than the IMAGE and LIKENESS OF GOD HIMSELF. Day 66 Jesus is the Man God is making himself to be "with" his creation and "through" his creation: It all started when God said "LET US" (God and his creation) make Man in 'OUR' image and likeness: To me this was the most incredible reality, God is making himself “man in us”.....and Israel in us, our soul is also the "body" (flesh) he prepared for himself to come through: The reason I know this and do not stumble over Jesus or get confused about Jesus is because of the experience of bringing forth Christ the first fruits or good root of my soul made me a Jew, from the house of David, whose virgin is favored by God, chosen by God to bring forth Messiah.. Jesus is also the offspring of my soul (given the key of David) that makes my soul a “man”, because my soul is the body of the "SPIRIT" that is the Lord: He who is joined to the Lord, is ONE Spirit I Cor 6:17: God and I are ONE SPIRIT, and this is incredible to me: I am ONE with God through my spiritual union with Christ. Christ’s Spirit lives in me.....to both "will and do in me of his good pleasure": Till my spirit (life-force manifested as "will") was crucified with Christ, there were "two spirits" living in my soul: I had become the mother of Jesus the Christ when I brought him forth, or gave birth to Christ, or when Christ was “raised in me” as the first resurrection, but I had not yet become the 'bride' because the son in me, the woman, was not yet a widow, she was not yet FREE TO MARRY Jesus Christ until he first took the old man to the cross and made out of "twain" one new man, and this new Man is the righteous man, the tzaddik of my soul, and his name is JESUS: The true husband of our soul is Jesus but he will only marry us when God rids us of our first husband and God does this by revealing Christ in us, (first resurrection) and then taking our old will to the cross (second death) which has no power to destroy the soul, only the old man. Yet this death of the old man now enables Jesus Christ to sanctify our soul to become his bride without spot or blemish because the pure Lamb (the Will of Christ) in us makes us so. The soul God made me, (body to bring forth Christ) learned to submit to the head he then became in me, but this submission is not like the carnal mind "thinks" it is: God doesn't just tell me to do something and expect me to do it, like being obedient to his law in me: Without being in the Kingdom, without Israel in me having entered her rest, we don't understand "how" God works this together for good; how he fulfills his law by himself in Christ rising up in us to overcome all our enemies and making us his righteousness in Christ Jesus. The law of God is his love in me and he both wills and does the law in me.........it is his own will God is doing in me, so what do I do? I am a "witness of his power in me", his DUNAMIS, his holy spirit in me: What does a witness do? A witness speaks of what he sees and hears (Acts 4:22).........and as he speaks/confesses the truth, it manifests outwardly, and becomes reality on earth as it is in heaven: Let your Kingdom come in earth as in heaven. If we don't have a new heaven in us, it is because the old heavens have not been shaken in this end time as the earth is shaken by the greatest earthquake we will ever experience when Jesus stands on Mt Olives (anointing within us). Everything is shaken loose from us so that which remains is supposed to remain in us and proceed from us: Knowing Jesus through the carnal mind just won't happen: He is not able to be known by the carnal mind: God isn't concerned about it, and I guess I won't be concerned either, because I know when the soul is ready to bring forth the first-fruits Christ, she will call his name Jesus, she will, confess the name of Jesus........as it was explained by the angel or messenger before hand through the WORD: Jesus will be the new man in the soul, making the soul a “man” instead of female or male, but Man is the new creation that we have never seen or heard before. The dead hear his voice and live and all eyes shall come to this glorious vision in due time: My process started when God authored his faith in me at age 14, and I spent the next 26 years trying to "understand" his Word, but was only able to little by little till the "second coming" of Jesus Christ. The second coming is an individual personal event that finishes our faith, and mine was experienced at age 40, 17 years ago on Yom Kippur (Jewish atonement day) of 1992. Since God is both the author and finisher of our faith, no man knows the hour that he is appointed to experience the "second coming" but the father. When our hour comes, God sends Jesus Christ to visit us, which is really him-self in us, as the "Word sent from his bosom" to reconcile us to himself and we experience "all things being brought back to God" in both heaven within and the earth without. After the second coming, we no longer wait for the advent of Jesus Christ, because we experience everything the "WORD" speaks of, from all the promises being fulfilled in us to the "judgment seat of Christ" due to the holy spirit being poured out on our flesh, which includes the "spirit of prophecy" that rebuilds the "house of Israel" (our soul that will rule with God and that has a "straight light" to and from God, no more mediation needed). God rids us of all our enemies through Christ, both within and without and he makes us a "new Man and a new creation", that is able to work out its own salvation with fear and trembling and overcome all fear of the enemy through the "perfect love" God sheds abroad in our heart. Once we are finished in faith, hope and love, we walk by the spirit and no longer fulfill the lusts of our flesh, and because we have the "Comforter, the Spirit of truth that leads into all truth, we don't need anyone to teach us and we don't know who we will be sent to give our witness to, but it doesn't matter: All things will work together for good in due time and our faith hope and love will increase as our doubt, hopelessness and fear decrease. We will overcome and apprehend that which we are apprehended for through JESUS CHRIST and we will know as we are known: nothing will stumble us and those who don't hear us or want what we have, will not be able to keep us from our own peace that passes all understanding. We will believe for others and let them have their process as we have experienced ours. God is in charge, in control and will make sure that as he did for us, when we were sinners and didn't deserve anything from him, he will do for others because God is no respecter of persons. We will TRUST God to be who and what he is and not worry about tomorrow, for sufficient is the evil in each day. Gods GRACE will be sufficient and his strength is made perfect in our weakness: LOVE is that perfection: Day 67 Who is the mouth of God? His Word sent from his own bosom/heart: Unto us a Son is given!!!! (Nowhere does it say we strive to become the Son, but the Son is given to us). How wonderful to understand every word, to hear the word engrafted in my heart, sent from the heart of the father to redeem my soul. God and I have a “heart to heart” connection now because of his unspeakable gift to me, to all of us if we can receive it. The Body of the Lord is a spiritual body: 1Cr 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. The flesh and bones of Jesus Christ's body is spiritual: Col 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: Christ's death and our death at the cross made out of two, one new man and his name is Jesus, baptized into Jesus name, coming in Jesus name and not our name any longer. Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ (((in my flesh)))) for ((((his body's sake))))), which is the church: So Christ's body is the Church, and this is a spiritual body, that is also flesh and bones. What about Col 1:22?beginning with verse 1… Col 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ (((by the will of God)))), and Timotheus [our] brother,…..By whose will is Paul an apostle? By the "will of God": Col 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Col 1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, Col 1:4 Since we heard of (((your faith in Christ Jesus)))), and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints, Col 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; Col 1:6 Which (((is come unto you)))), as [it is] in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of it], and knew the grace of God in truth: This Word they 'heard of before" ........... "is come" unto us? What does it bring forth? Fruit, and Christ is that first-fruits it brings forth and this is "since the day we heard and knew the GRACE of God in truth: Col 1:7 As ye also learned of Epaphras (LOVELY)our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; Col 1:8 Who also declared unto us ((((your love in the Spirit))))). (This is the comforter, the Holy Spirit, hidden in code language): Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be ((((((filled with the knowledge of his will))))) in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; "Knowledge of Gods will" in all "wisdom and Spiritual understanding": Col 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Col 1:11 Strengthened with all might, (((according to his glorious power)))), unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be ((((partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light))))): Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins: Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: Jesus Christ is the "IMAGE of the invisible God", who delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, in whom we have redemption through “his blood-Holy Spirit" and the forgiveness of sins and he is the "FIRST-BORN" of every creature. Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence. Col 1:19 For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fullness dwell; Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven. Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies ((((in [your] mind by wicked works)))), [[[[[yet now hath he reconciled ]]]]] Col 1:22 ****In the body of his flesh****** through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] (((((not moved away from the hope of the gospel))))), which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the (((((afflictions of Christ in my flesh)))) for ((((his body's sake, which is the church)))): Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to ((((the dispensation)))) of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; Col 1:26 [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is ((((made manifest to his saints))))): Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery (((among the Gentiles)))); which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present ((((every man perfect in Christ Jesus))))): It doesn't say, present every man perfect "FOR" Christ, but present him perfect "IN CHRIST". Col 1:29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to (((((his working, which worketh in me mightily)))))). Day 68 Comparing Psalm 8 and Hebrews 2 Psa 8:1 [[To the chief Musician (natsach-be bright, perpetual, enduring, director or chief) upon Gittith (wine press), A Psalm of David.]] O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Jesus said we had to become as children to see and enter into the Kingdom of heaven: God makes us BRAND NEW in order to overcome our enemies in us: Psa 8:3 When I consider thy heavens (heart), the work of thy fingers, the moon (church) and the stars (sons of God), which thou hast ordained; (kuwn-to be firm, established, set up, fixed, secured, determined, arranged, settled, accomplished). Psa 8:4 What is man (enosh-mortal fallen man), that thou art mindful (zakar-remember-call to mind) of him? and the son of man (adam), that thou visitest him? Zakar is where Zachariah comes from and he is the father of John the Baptist, from the tribe of Aaron/Levi: Here is where this tribe is remembered: It is written he made them male-zakar and female-nekebah: The word visit - paqad-to attend, number, punish, appoint, care for, observe, assign, be visited, set over, overseer, entrusted, to strike upon or against any person or thing: What this says to me, God remembers mortal man, but when he does, it is because he VISITS adam, (son of man): Psa 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels (elohim-gods, rulers, judges, angels, godesses, divine ones; from elowahh-God or false gods), and hast crowned (atar-surround, crown, bestow) him with glory and honour. Psa 8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet: Psa 8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; Psa 8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas. Psa 8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! We see through this Psalm of David/beloved, that when God remembers the fallen men, it is also the time of the visitation of adam, the son of man, and we all died in this first dam and became enosh/fallen men: Yet this remembrance of both enosh and adam, who is made a little lower than elohim/gods etc, will be crowned with Gods glory and honor and become overseer over all Gods works, putting all things under his feet: By the time the first Adam is transformed into the Last Adam through Christ being born within the soul, (Church/moon), the stars will have fallen and be restored to righteousness by Gods visitation to this 'Son of Man/Adam, the "first living soul" God ever made to become "Man": The Man Jesus is the final stage of the "Son of Man" because here we see Christ through the soul to make that soul man and God is in Christ reconciling all things to himself. Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] [[[[the measure of a man, that is, of the angel]]]]]]. Hbr 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip. Hbr 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; Hbr 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard [him]; Hbr 2:4 God also bearing [them] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Hbr 2:5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. Hbr 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Hbr 2:7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Hbr 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. Hbr 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hbr 2:10 For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Hbr 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Hbr 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. Hbr 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Hbr 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Hbr 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hbr 2:16 For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham. The seed of Abraham is Issac (Yechida-only Son, darling) in whom the SEED is first called, hence Issac means "laughter". Abraham (father of many nations) is the first Jew or first soul to recognize and become a friend to God, through the faith authored in him that was also counted to him as 'righteousness". Jesus was not the seed of the serpent or of the fallen man/enosh, but the "son of man"/adam, who was the first "living soul", the "body God prepared for him-self to come through" according to the flesh, which is David's body, his virgin. Hbr 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren (Israel the soul), that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Why does it not say to make reconcilliation for his sins? No, it says to make reconcilliation for the "sins of the people" (laos) Hbr 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. The word laos is also used here: Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people (laos) from their sins. Mat 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor (hegeomai-leader, go before, prince, regal power, viceroy, chief, consider, deem, account, think) , That shall rule (poimaino-feed, tend flock, keep sheep, rule, furnish pasture, nourish, cherish ones body, supply for the soul's needs) my people (laos) Israel. Mat 4:16 The people (laos) which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. To finish this discourse on "people" being saved by JESUS: Luk 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her heart. Luk 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. Luk 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, (((his name was called JESUS)))), which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Luk 2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present [him] to the Lord; Luk 2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male (ZAKAR-to remember) that openeth the womb (matrix) shall be called holy to the Lord;) Zakar and matrix are the Hebrew versions of this verse: Luk 2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. Luk 2:25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was] Simeon (heard); and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. Luk 2:26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen (((((the Lord's Christ))))). Luk 2:27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the (((child Jesus)))), to do for him after the custom of the law, Luk 2:28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Luk 2:29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: Luk 2:30 For mine eyes have ((((seen thy salvation))))), Luk 2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the (((((face of all people))))) (laos); Luk 2:32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of((( thy people Israel)))). Luk 2:33 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. Luk 2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set ((((for the fall and rising again of many in Israel)))); and for a sign which shall be spoken against. Again, the fall and rising is of the "stars" (sons of adam) Luk 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. The reason it reveals many hearts is because the virgin is the “good ground” of Israel’s hearts that will be revealed: I want to address the "need for God to sacrifice" his own Son if one looks at it spiritually and not physically: Jesus said flesh and blood profit nothing, yet he also said, if one doesn't eat the flesh and drink the blood of the "Son of Man" he can have no part with him; This more than any other verse shows us that Jesus was talking about the spiritual reality, because he even said so when everyone was offended by this "hard saying": God sacrificed a part of himself, his life-force, his Spirit (his will) which is likened to his “Only begotten Son”, because this will comes out from God and goes back to God having achieved what God purposed. It is written the WORD (Son) is in his BOSOM, so, what we are really looking at is God severed off a part of himself (his own will, his life-force) and sent it to be born in and through the SOUL/creation (seed of the woman) so that it could "LEAD" and guide the creation into all truth and set them free from darkness, death and sin. Saying it another way, Christ’s blood is the holy spirit that runs through the soul, saving all and his body is the meat (Word) that satisfies the deepest need of the Soul: Jesus said his meat was to do the "WILL" of the Father in heaven: When you come right down to it, The Son is the Word that God Speaks from his won heart his own bosom, just as we speak from the abundance of our own heart: Yet Gods WORD has the power to save us, even though God let it be destroyed by being sent to us to perform Gods will: People butcher the word all the time, every day, and yet, it is written, the Word will accomplish God’s purpose, his will which is to give us a new heart (because he engrafts the word therein, his Spirit) which is able to lead the heart to make a new creation, a new mind in us. Day 69 Is our body the flesh spoken of in the Bible? Or is the "flesh", the inner workings that bring forth actions through the body? If everything spiritual (evil or good) is manifested through the body, then is the body the flesh? If it is, then how can it manifest good? Read these manifestations of the "works" of the flesh and ask yourself, do these manifest in the same body that the "FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT must manifest in? If so, how can the body be the culprit if it can manifest good or evil, the fruits of the flesh or the fruits of the Spirit of God? Jesus said the flesh profits nothing, but it is also written that we don't fight against flesh and blood but the spiritual principalities, and wickedness in high places. So it is the spirit that manifests either evil or good, which is why we don't look at the flesh. Instead, we must be able to DISCERN what manner of SPIRIT someone is of, right? Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. If we could save ourselves by doing good with the body, instead of being born again of a different Spirit, a righteous Spirit, we wouldn't need the WORD of God: We could just change our behavior according to benefit us. Yet, it is written, a man is not justified.......well here it is....Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but (((((by the faith of Jesus Christ))))))), even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Again, we are justified by the ‘faith of Jesus Christ”, his faith, which comes down to us from above (keter/crown of life, which also gives us our "good will and Gods pleasure/Eden), since Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith: By the works of the law (which is also manifest by faith of the Son of God in us, but we give glory and honour to the truth that it is "his faith" in us and not our own righteousness, hence, faith is counted to us as righteousness. When you know the whole truth, you will not err in any of it. When you err in anything, it is because the whole truth is not yet revealed in you and then anything you "claim" to believe that is not according to the truth, it can and will stumble you because without the engrafted Word, all works is of the flesh: The works that come from and faith, are his works in us, and lest God be the builder of the HOUSE, the workmen work in vain. If it is all his doing, why do we boast of how spiritual we are? or how good we are? Why do some even call themselves God, or Christ, rather than giving him all the glory and being satisfied that God is with us and in us? Jesus said, the Father is in him and HE is in the Father: It goes both ways with MAN: what do I mean? God in us is what allows us to submit all our our desires to his good will. The truth is simple, but any lie at all, clogs the light from getting to the whole body: Jesus said if the eye is single (spiritually not mixed with physical), the whole body is full of light. So how do we discern what manner of spirit one is of? First of all, if we don't have the spirit of truth that leads into all truth, the holy spirit of God in us, we will not be able to discern what manner of spirit another is of. Second of all, if it is inevitable, that we are to judge angels/spirits, we will certainly have to discern these spirits, amen? Zec 8:9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. Without that foundation of truth/emet, the Word, Christ, the only foundation that is ever laid to build the temple of God, he will can build his house (form his spirit) into the MAN that is both Spirit and creation-soul: Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to come. It is the "spirit" that is to be judged and anyone who has ever received the spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit, will not be able to speak against it for God can not be against himself in us: Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [his] fruit. Fruit is from spirit either evil or good: It is the heart that is the temple God rebuilds when he gives us a new heart (Israel within) that is able to renew the mind of the gentile nature, making both Jew and Greek or male and female, a new creation and no longer divided within us: Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers, (crooked serpents, wills) how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Some may say, you should "do" Good, but this tells us, a good man and that Man is JESUS CHRIST the righteous in us, will bring forth good things through us period: Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. It amazes me now (not the first 26 years but now) how easily "men" (not Man) but men who have not yet become one with "the man" Jesus, can speak words that continue to condemn themselves. The reason it is so easy is because the wrong spirit still rules in the hearts of these men. There is no condemnation in Christ. Paul said if our heart does condemn us, God is greater than our heart, amen and amen. It is written, those whose house/new heart is built on stone (Christ our foundation), will be able to stand no matter the tribulation that follows, but those whose house/heart is build on sand will fall, and great will be that fall: I experienced the fall and the standing, both were in my experience and I thank God he gave me that stone before my first house/kingdom was divided and fell: This is Gods goodness towards those who believe before they see: He makes sure they are prepared for the fall of all other Kingdoms that will come to an end by giving them Christ first, (stone coming out of the mountain, not made by hands) so they can endure the ending of all things through him. That stone will crush everything that is not of God, but everything that is of God, will stand forever more and that is also my experience of the ‘great tribulation” of that in me that was not of God, not meant to last forever more. Day 70 Some say Jesus Christ is not God, yet it is written, God is our only Savior. There are eleven verses here show us JESUS is our SAVIOR, Jesus is the Christ, and the Christ is named Jesus. If Jesus is our Savior and there is only one Savior, then Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. To me there is NO CONTROVERSY about it, and neither was there any controversy about it to Paul. 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. God was manifest in the flesh. 1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. Jhn 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. I Cr 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 2Cr 2:14 Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge "by us" in every place. Jesus is the Savior because God saved us by becoming "man". No other gospel is the true gospel. Rom 5:11 And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. Rom 5:15 But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by "one man", Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Rom 5:16 And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification. Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by "one", Jesus Christ.) Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by "the righteousness of one" [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life. Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the "obedience of one" shall many be made righteous. Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. So in summary, WHO IS THE SAVIOR? Isa 43:11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour. Isa 45:21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me. Hsa 13:4 Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me. Act 13:23 Of this man's seed hath God according to [his] promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: Phl 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: ITi 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope; 2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Tts 1:4 To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord "Jesus Christ our Saviour". Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of (((the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ))))); Tts 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2Pe 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2Pe 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen. OUR GOD AND SAVIOUR Luk 1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Act 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 1Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope; 1Ti 2:3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. Tts 1:4 To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. Tts 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Tts 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Jud 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Isa 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God. Isa 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any]. Isa 45:5 I am the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: (unfortunately this is still true of so many): Isa 45:21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me. If Christ is not manifest in "our flesh", we are none of his and if we have Christ in us, his Name is Jesus, because Jesus is the Christ and the Christ is called Jesus, the name above all names because it means "salvation of Jehovah", the self existent "ONE". If JESUS is both, then he is the "NEW MAN" the Last Man, the Second Man who is Lord from heaven and not the flesh and blood man we are born as: JESUS didn't have blood like we do, since his father was Spirit and it takes both a sperm and egg to make a human: It doesn't take a sperm to make MAN, because Man is not human as we "think" of human, but “,man” as God planned from the foundation of the world when he said “Let us” (creation and creator) make Man in "our" image and likeness: Jesus Christ is the "Spirit seed” that binds with “our desire” of the creature part, to make a SOUL, the body God prepared for himself to come through. Without desire, there would be nothing to fulfill. So God had to make desire (evil) and overcome it with good by being born in desire as the ‘good will” to fulfill it. There are two forces in the UNIVERSE, WILL and DESIRE, and JESUS IS BOTH in ONE. Jesus desire is to do Gods will so his desire is good, clean. Our desire is both good and evil, mixed. Jesus Christ in us, the Will of the Father in us, rules over our desire the way the first Adam could not rule over his. Jesus Christ in us is able to choose the good and refuse the evil, a quality only Messiah will bring to mankind. The flesh of Jesus has nothing to do with our physical body, but it does have to do with our "SOULS" body (desire). The body has a soul which is made alive and is magnified by the Spirit of the LORD, hence, Mary, the flesh part (desire that is favored of God) that produces Jesus says, “My soul doth magnify the LORD and my Spirit rejoices in God my Savior. The physical flesh is not involved in the making of a new creation other than the desire of the sensual (five senses) part of us must decrease so the good desire to do Gods will in us can increase, and this desire is Jesus Christ in us. Hence it is written, when the desire comes, meaning when Jesus Christ comes, whose desire is to do Gods will and his will only in us, then we will know as we are known. Silver (keceph) represents desire (Kacaph) in the Bible and it is easily tainted. Our desires are the part of us that need to be sanctified. Gold represents faith and love and the WORD of God itself and gold is tried by fire, hence our FAITH goes through fiery trials. 1Sa 23:20 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part [shall be] to deliver him into the king's hand. Pro 10:24 the fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. Hag 2:7 And I will shake all nations, and "the desire" of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. Day 71 Someone asked the question on the internet, "What are some ways in which Christianity diverged from Judaism to become a distinct religion?" My answer won me the "best answer" award by that medium. I wrote, Christianity began when Saul a Hebrew of Hebrews and Roman citizen, revealing both the Jewish and gentile nature within him-self was sent to the gentiles to bring the gospel or good news. God prophesied he would scatter Israel among the gentiles and that Israel would eat their defiled bread among the gentiles. Saul experienced this "duality” when he had an ENCOUNTER with Jesus. Saul (his name means "asked") inquired about and Paul means "little" (the new man in Christ Jesus). Who are you? Saul asks: the VOICE answers, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting: This experience which was obviously a powerful one that came with a VISION, changed Saul’s mind about HOW the God of the Jews would actually reveal himself to mankind: Like all Jews, Saul thought God would send a military leader to be Messiah, but he didn't realize till he had the experience of Christ, that it was from a different military: It was from Yahweh of "troops", tsaba and this would be a spiritual military: Angels in other words interacting with mankind to bring the message of redemption. Saul was raised and trained in Hebrew but he had the 'Experience" that forever changed his understanding (bina) and knowledge (da'ath) of the spiritual realm, which is where God works, but it is MANIFESTED (malkuth) in this world. God doesn't become human, he becomes MAN in Jesus Christ, but this is not understood by CHRISTIANITY: Jesus is not and never was a human being, but He came in humans.....in flesh..."our mortal flesh" to make the 'creation" MAN (Adam): See, God told the "creation" LET US make Man in Genesis 26: Before he was finished with the creation, he just said "LET THERE BE", but once he finished making all creatures, he said to them...."LET US" meaning together, you and I, all creation and creator will MAKE MAN: Jesus is that image and likeness, but Jesus is not past tense: Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, so he is also the present tense Man that MESSIAH becomes in all people who are visited by the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob: Jews do not accept the Jesus of history, but I experienced what Paul experienced in the BOOK and found out the Bible is not a history book, but a BOOK to describe what happens when God and creation clash and God enters the human heart....neshama, to light the candlestick. This makes all a Jew.....which is why Abraham was the first Jew, because he was the first to have his Neshama lit again: I don't know what Number I am, but I had the experience of all prophets, all apostles, all the Jewish people in the Bible and this is because I too was thrown of my horse (metaphor for spirit) and my WILL was cast to the "primal brain" (Id, Yid): I became a Jew at age 40 according to the experience I had that only the Bible could explain: My neshama was lit at this time: NOW, I understand how the New Testament will work in us, but not till the Torah is fulfilled in us: The Law and prophets will be fulfilled in those who are visited by MESSIAH: There is no such thing as getting rid of the law: Jesus said the same thing: not one Yod or tittle will pass away from the law till all is fulfilled: What neither Christian or Jew know till it happens, is that the law is fulfilled IN US, in our SOUL, in our neshama, and this is what makes us ONE with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and this is what makes Abraham father of many nations/gentiles as well. Day 72 Like Paul, I want to discuss my own experience of the coming of Messiah......and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement in Judaism). When I felt the resurrection power in me, it began as pure light in 1990 and came to a fullness I never dreamed I could have by 1991. The light pervaded my whole mind, so great was this light that I saw it everywhere. I never felt so good in my whole 24 years of trying to be a Christian (from age 14-38). I finally understood what love was, what life was, and this light ended the "shame" that had been part of my human existence, brought about through "others" who shamed me prevented me from feeling like a whole human being. Dysfunction can do that to people. Keep them feeling less than everyone else, not able to do the right things for themselves and others. I remember feeling this love from the light in me, replaced my shame so much, that I knew I had been born again for real at this point, but I didn't have the whole picture yet; not by a long shot. It was Christ who was born in me, and later I understood that he is the resurrection IN ME........so what happened next? For a while, from 1990 to about March of 1992, I was in heaven. I understood the meaning of the "good" part of the tree. I had found the root of the tree, and my soul was finally at peace with a peace that passes all understanding. So what was left? Well, after Christ is brought forth through the soul (he is the first-fruits of every new creature), he had to take the old man to the cross but I had no idea about this; none. This is something I was not prepared for in the least. It began as a little uneasiness in my soul, but it grew and grew into a bigger and bigger void......so big, that I couldn't handle it. All the light left me, but not just the new light that had recently been revealed in me, but all light left me...........the "day of the LORD" had begun, wherein is darkness over the whole earth (we are made of the earth) and the deep is revealed as the void that it is. For months, from March to July, I couldn't understand what was happening to me, so by the end of July, I was so agitated and frightened and without light, that I cried out one day, Jesus please help me, what is wrong with me? Just then, I felt a huge inner drop, like an elevator had been cut at the cables and I felt something inside of me fall down so deep and so fast, that I screamed with my hands in the air, because this was a literal sensation of falling even though I was sitting on my couch praying…..then I screamed, Jesus, help me......and whatever fell, landed with a thud.....and a voice said, "be still my soul for I am God". I sat for an hour afraid to open my eyes, afraid to move and stillness came over me that was the beginning of the death I was going to experience shortly. The door to life is opened from above......and one must experience the first resurrection (Christ in them) to endure the second death, (the cross) which takes the old spirit to be crucified with Christ, making out of TWAIN, one new Man. This takes away the "enmity" of the carnal mind, because this shatters the mind like a potter shatters his vessel, the vessel of vanity that is our first vessel (will) of dishonor, so the Lord can now sanctify his soul (bride) and make out her one flesh with his own will that is given to us as the “light of wisdom” first. Hence the “fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” or certainly understanding what the light of wisdom is for. I know he didn't fail me, but instead, he is the salvation in my soul. God not only gave himself to me in the “form’ of his Son, Emmanuel is God with us, but he killed the old man (king=will) with himself in me, crucified my old will to make it “one will” one new man with himself in me. How did I experience this? Once I had opened to me what no man can open, and I fell to the earth as Paul did when Jesus apprehended him, I was in what I understand to be the way. What is the "WAY"? It is that place from the time of the “fall” to the time of the cross........the Della de Rosa, the road to Calvary or to the place of the skull” in the Hebrew tongue. Here I would be crucified with Christ, my fire baptism into Jesus name. The way is so tight and so narrow, that I would wake up and feel absolute terror within me. Everything I was, and everything Christ had become in me a couple of years before, was vanishing......disappearing......and it felt like the walls and ceilings and floor were all coming together....and I was being put into a “coffin”. Well, later I understood the ARK of the covenant is "aron" in Hebrew and also means "coffin". I was going to experience the end, before the beginning. I would experience the singularity, the zero point of existence, the black hole in order to see that death does loose its sting in the second and better resurrection. The second and better resurrection is the one where not only Christ in me is raised, but where I am “raised with him” to become “one flesh with him”. My soul would cry out, that it now magnifies the Lord and my Spirit in me too rejoices in the LORD my SAVIOR. He would then take away my enemies (the man of sin, the son of perdition, the man of lawlessness) and make me one with himself. Hence, one man is taken and the other man is left. Part of my spirit went up with Christ after this to the throne, becoming “one Spirit” with him, and here we sat, he my RIGHT hand, till he put all enemies under my feet, and the last enemy would be death of course. Christ is the “seed of the woman” the soul of Israel in me, Judah and Ephraim united with Levi/Aaron, and was taken to the wilderness of Zion, the parched place, where I would get beauty (tifereth) for ashes. Here is where the temple of God should have been and here is now the heart filled with the beginning of compassion, which was first revealed as desolate, empty. The Lord however destroyed the old man and he no longer rules there. Instead Christ in me rules till I am fully in Christ. The woman is the son who was the part of the soul taken to the wilderness who would be chastened here till the HEART was pure and was able to be a light for the outer court, because the heart is the “inner court” of the temple where the abomination of desolation is revealed. The eagles gather where the dead body lies and this is the place where the woman is taken, a place prepared for her. Here is how the Lord came and took Israel in me with eagle’s wings back to where he would teach me again the second time. Praise his holy name. First, as the narrow road got tighter and tighter, and the darkness was so dark and so tight, that I simply couldn't hardly stay conscious and when I was conscious, I was terrified to be conscious.....meaning I didn't have any place to run.......terror all around me, had encircled me. One night (this lasted from July to October, Yom Kippur, the day of atonement) But I didn't know this at the time, only later......I cried, I don't know who or what you are, but show yourself......I will face you and I will deal with you no matter what. I couldn't take the spiritual pain, darkness, tightness, emptiness, blackness, thick thick dark blackness wherein there was not one tiny bit of light inside of me, and it became impossible to bear this “gross darkness’. That midnight (he comes like a thief in the night) but to kill, I was awoken and I literally felt a hand shove me to the living room and I sat on the couch......unable to move, when 'suddenly' my mind was so tight, that it squeezed even the darkness to a tighter darkness and I felt so terrified that held my head.......I thought I was having a huge stroke, but I didn't really didn’t think at all....it was all visceral, terror......I screamed......”Jesus help me....and just that quick......just that sudden.....out of the darkest dark, a tiny gold dot appeared right above my two eyes at my forehead, but within.......deep deep within, like it was ZOOOOOOMING in from light years away........and it imploded right at the wall of my forehead, but within my forehead........and there he was..........the serpent lifted up......and I cried out.....NO, NO, Jesus you are dead............and the next thing I knew, I was on the cross with him, face to face, nailed together.......and we both died. Now this is the second death.......but there is a resurrection to come.........a wonderful, POWERFUL, destroying DEATH, hell and the grave kind of resurrection. Jesus and my old spirit were raised together as one will; hence Jesus is my “new man” and not the old Jesus of my vain imagination. I know the difference between the OLD Jesus I thought I knew with the carnal mind, and this Jesus whom I know in me. I know it was me who had the vain imagination about Jesus, but idolatry is also forgiven when the law is fulfilled in us by him, which gives us the “grace” (unmerited favor) of salvation. There has to be a second death to raise all parts of us, and pluck out that old root, that old evil side of the tree. I am planted one tree with Christ and his name is Jesus, the Man in Gods image and likeness and I am his BODY, and his servant and his mother and his sister and his bride/heart.......I don't need that any should have to teach me about who I am in Jesus Christ or who he is in me. But since I have been his mother.....brought him forth first........it really irks me when others lie about him. Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall "do the will" of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and MOTHER. Mar 3:35 For whosoever shall "do the will of God", the same is my brother, and my sister, and MOTHER. I am a part of New Jerusalem because I became Jesus mother, brother, sister, first.......before I became his bride. Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, "new Jerusalem", coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Day 73 What would a Man give in exchange for his soul? A man has to give up his 'lower life' which is his vain vessel, or vain imagination or ego, to gain true life, which is the "life giving spirit" (Jesus Christ) that will save his soul even though it will destroy his vain imaginations of everything, including God and himself. There are four levels of making the Soul a Man in Gods image and likeness. Like the four winds that gather Israel from the four corners of the earth, and the four pieces of Jesus outer garment at the cross and the four heads of the river coming out of Eden, four is the number of heaven on earth. The four levels of making an eternal soul, when male and female become "man" and these are revealed many times in the Bible and here is my synopsis. In the first level we are "seekers" or let me speak for myself, I was a seeker of the truth, and I found bits and pieces but could not put them together to understand the whole uzzle. In our seeking, we keep forgetting "REPENTANCE" (return to God, to the root of the tree) but instead, we try to become "better and better Christians" through our old nature, and it doesn't work. Finally one day, God sends us the "Spirit of Elijah" which ENABLES us to truly remember to REPENT, to RETURN to God and stop trying to be God. This repentance brings us to the "root of our soul" and is followed by Christ baptism and fire of the Holy Spirit: This second level is Christ consciousness, or Christ in me, the hope for glory: Here, my Christmas came when I reached the "root of my soul", by climbing down the ladder (Jacob's) to reach the holy root, (repented-returned all the way back to the beginning of my soul) and found everything I ever wanted as a human being. Christ in me was resurrected and I knew he was the resurrection and life in me. I didn't yet understand why it was called "Jacobs ladder' because I didn't yet have the revelation of Israel as being my soul, while the gentile part of me was the seeker for wisdom and truth. I didn't yet understand that Israel in me was blinded or Israel would repent and return to God before my gentile nature was ready to receive revelation. After the second level, Christ in me, the third level began. Israel was revealed, and Satan was also revealed as the "man of sin" who ruled in the heart (Israel) making the heart wicked above all things. Jesus Christ in me had to turn me over to Satan because he asked to sift me. Jesus prayed that my faith fail me not. He also gave me everything I needed to overcome at the point of the "second death", my spirit being crucified with Christ, so that I could be "in Christ' as Christ was in me. The fourth level is when the inner Kingdom which I gained through the spiritual warfare in stage III, was now able to be brought to "earth" as it is in heaven within me. Now I had to climb back up Jacob’s ladder to gain my whole soul, even to the point of renewing my "mind" to be "LIKE" the "mind of Christ" that was given to me in stage II: The fourth level is when heaven and earth, or heaven and nature sing because they are now one new Creation. After I gained the inner Kingdom through Jesus Christ in me, I started talking about the "creation" again instead of becoming Christ conscious: I struggled remembering that those who have not experienced levels II, and III, could not even imagine what stage IV consists of. To them, nature is not new but still old: They are still seeking and striving to overcome their "natural man", and have no idea that there is a "new man and a new creature" that is planned from the foundation of the world. The new nature is due to the new heavens within, and now, the Manifestation on earth will manifest fully because of the "new heavens" that God creates first, so these can manifest on earth as in heaven. Seek ye first the Kingdom of heaven and his righteousness and then all these shall be added unto you. I was talking to my daughter this morning about one of her favorite movies the past decade, "Lord of the Rings", and even though I never saw it, I explained that Froto and Sam were really one and the same, but Froto was his inner angel, his inner guide (and a child shall lead them): This is why Sam was given a family and friends in the earthly realm while Froto went back to the spiritual realm: She was so sad that Froto didn't get the same blessing, but I explained, he was not purposed for that. The inner ne man in me doesn't want the same things the "nephesh/animal" soul wants: Yet they are both part of my new nature. The new man in me is the measure of the angel, 144 cubits and there is no marriage in heaven, but the angels are happy to be fiery ministers of God, helping ,man become a new creation on earth as they are in heaven. The good and great news is this.........God, his ministers of fire, the holy spirit, his Son/Word from his bosom and our "new nature" are all part of our experience eventually.................and like Jesus said if we put the Kingdom and his righteousness first, we will get 100-fold return in this life, and eternal life in the world to come. The benefits for this life are just as real to those who are truly born from above, have Christ in them and are joined to Christ, to be in him, so that Christ can fill up the soul that God made for him to fill up. Tthose who are still waiting to become Christ conscious, those who don't "know Jesus the “man” don't understand about being a "new creation" by experience. They want to be like God so bad, that they don't understand what God is doing at all through his Grace. The name Mary, both the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene are named Mary: One part represents the part of us that "never knew a man" or knew Satan or the evil spirit of antichrist, and this would be Mary the mother of Jesus, who brings forth Christ in us. Mary the mother of Jesus is from the house of David/Judah. Here is the law engrafted into the heart to make it new with the righteous spirit. Yet we all begin as the "seed of the serpent" the carnal mind (harlot) and she must repent and be renewed, hence the renewing of the mind is the work of the new covenant/testament. Here we see the salvation of Mary Magdalene. So first we receive the new heart (by the righteous spirit, the new and good will, the pure Lamb of God in us that takes away the Sin of the world. Next the new mind, that is formed by confession unto salvation by the words that proceed out of the abundance of the new heart. The new mind is the gentile in us who is now part of the commonwealth of Israel, but both are saved together, the “new creation” whose head is the “New man” Jesus Christ. Day 74 APPOINTED TIME: Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace, Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Paul was still in the body, even though his soul went to the wilderness (Arabia) for 14 years. The soul is the woman God prepared to bring Christ forth, and his spirit was made one with Christ in Paradise, where he "knew" the MAN (Jesus), which is the name of Christ: Christ is not a name, it is a title, it is the anointing upon and this anointing is within the man because it is written, Christ is the Light that is the life of Man: Jesus is the name of that man and Christ is “in” that man and man is both male and female, (spirit and soul) together again as they were in the beginning. The new man is neither male nor female, but both together as they were in the beginning. Gal 4:1 now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; Gal 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Every man has his appointed time, and God put himself through the same law when he made himself Man as he put his people under. Gal 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Gal 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that "we" might receive the adoption of sons. Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth "the Spirit of his Son" into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Our status as sons is because of the “Son of God in our heart knows his Father and this is why Christ is the mediator between God and men. The “Only Begotten Son of God is who brings “many sons” to glory, each in his appointed time, each man in his own order. Gal 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Mat 26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Mat 27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. Mat 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. Luk 3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. Luk 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Luk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; Act 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Act 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead. Act 28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till evening. I have heard a lot of things about Jesus since I wrote about my own witness of him. Some say Jesus was a sinner like all men who fell short of the glory of God. Some say he was a mere man who became Christ and many more false ideas have stumbled others about Jesus. Yet it is written, Christ is named Jesus, not Jesus becomes the Christ. It is also written, he expounded all things about himself to the two on the road to Emmaus that is written of him in the law of Moses and the prophets: If Jesus was just a man, and not "the Christ" then where is he in the Law of Moses and in the prophets? 1Cr 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. This is why apostles are first in the Church, because these are "Dead in Christ" and not just believers of Jesus Christ: 1Th 3:3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, ……. It is the antichrist in us that is appointed to wrath, not the soul who is the mother, brother, sister and bride of Jesus Christ: 2Ti 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Hbr 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house. Hbr 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 1Pe 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Psa 81:3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. Jer 8:7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD. This is why Jesus said not even the son Israel would know their appointed time, but the father only, and he sends his Son to redeem Israel and turn all ungodliness from Jacob at his appointed time: Dan 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall be]. Dan 11:35 And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to the time of the end: because [it is] yet for a time appointed. Hab 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. I had my appointed time on Yom Kippur of 1992 where the Lord Suddenly came into his temple, my heart, to regenerate my spirit, save my soul by writing the law into my mind and heart. Day 75 PLOUGHING YOUR WAY INTO THE KINGDOM! Luk 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. In Greek, Plough-arotron is from the root aroo, whch means "to till". Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to "till the ground". Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return. Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to "till the ground" from whence he was taken. Hsa 10:11 And Ephraim [is as] an heifer [that is] taught, [and] loveth to tread out [the corn]; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, [and] Jacob shall break his clods. Hsa 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: fo[it is] time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Hsa 10:13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in "thy way", in the multitude of thy mighty men. (spirits of antichrist within the soul). The word candlestick is menowrah in Hebrew: mĕnowrah from H4500 (in the original sense of H5216) 1) lamp stand, and it is from the root manowr, which is a "beam" a yoke for plowing, from the ROOT to plow, to break up the ground: Jesus said his yoke was easy and his burden light, because he does the work when we are yoked to him as the ox that threshes out the corn: The root niyr, which means lamp, and to break up, freshly plough or till: Niyr also means "to glisten", used in I Kings 11:36 as "that David my servant might always have a lamp", that his race might continue forever: The fact that Judah will plough and David might always have a lamp, reveals the hidden NESHAMA, the candle of the Lord that looks at the inward part, the DIVINE image or soul of the Jew: The neshama ploughs the field and the field is the world, but the world is in the brain, even as the earth is the brain (dust). The menorah is in the holy place of the temple, and this is the where only Israel could enter: No gentile could enter the holy place of the temple, but only the "outer court": Yet this inner court or holy place is the "house of God" which is left desolate, and this is why the holy place became hell, or the "Breach" between heaven and earth, and the heart became wicked above all things. Mathew 24 verifies that the abomination of desolation is where it ought not to be, in the Holy place, let the reader understand. Here is also why Israel will be the repairers of the “breach”, the renewing of this holy place which becomes Zion (parched place-burned by the Holy Spirit) and New Jerusalem when it is finished within us. 1Cr 9:10 Or saith he [it] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be "partaker" of his hope. Day 76 The New heaven and a new earth are both part of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God begins with a new heaven and then a new earth, where righteousness dwells. The whole story of the Bible is quite simple and I will show it in numbered steps. There is a story that starts with creation and ends with a new Creation that encompasses both heaven and earth. If one does not understand how the manifestation comes from an inner intention and desire, then talking about the manifestation of “let you Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, doesn’t make sense. The Bible is a spiritual revelation that will manifest in the physical so the earth can become God’s footstool. Otherwise how would the "curse" between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman written about in Genesis, ever END with Gods blessing? Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Only in the New Testament/covenant that the God of Israel writes in the hearts and minds of Israel at their appointed time deals with the enmity God put between the seed of the serpent and seed of the woman. Only the New Testament tells us how this enmity is overcome. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace; Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Jam 4:4 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. Hence the carnal mind is enmity with God, and it is NOT SUBJECT to the law of God, and that includes all carnal minds, which are all, and I mean ALL the "seed of the serpent". So, how did God deal with this Enmity? God abolished it by making out of two (the first and Last Adam) "one new man” and this is because the new man has the law written in the heart or he is not a new man. Christ/Messiah is the fulfillment of the law of God in the heart of man, making him a new creation, which is like none we have ever seen or heard before. How does this event happen? The cross....it reconciles both unto God in "one body", having slain the enmity thereby: The carnal mind is the adulterer of the world, the Spirit of the world, which is why both the world and the carnal mind are of the same spirit, which is antichrist or anti-messiah spirit that rules the whole world and every single carnal or sensually ruled. Your mind is carnal if you look at the Kingdom of Israel, who is the “body God prepared to bring his law to the nations” as a physical Kingdom alone and not first and foremost a Spiritual Kingdom, since God is Spirit. Anyone, Jew, gentile or Israelite who doesn't admit that God is Spirit, already committed idolatry, so nothing further can be believed. God has no form and neither does Christ, but it is written “God forms the Spirit of Man within him”. It is the “man” in Gods image and likeness which has “form”. God is making man in his image, not the other way around, so, man is not a physical being, but the image and likeness of a spiritual being. Here is the Bible story explained in a sequence to show the process in plain speech. 1. God created the heavens and earth and they were GOOD: 2. God created all life, from astronomy to microbiology by speaking it into existence through saying “Let there be” 3. God then in verse 26, spoke to the 'creation he made" and said "LET US" make Man in OUR image and likeness, which means Man would be BOTH creator and creation together in the image and likeness of BOTH: Obviously the inner man must be the image and likeness of God while the outer man is the image of the creation, mineral, vegetable, animal........and only the fourth part of Man, is the image and likeness of the creator, hence Man is also a speaker, able to speak God’s Word" that he gave to bring God’s to the manifested world even as God brings heaven to Man’s inner world. 4. IF God is God, he knew the first Adam would fall short of the glory of God, because God didn't make him in his image and “likeness” yet, but only his image.......the plan was to make him in both, but this would take "time”. The full image and likeness is when God himself becomes Man and Man is also “like God”....and Jesus is the name of that Man: 5. After the fall of the first Adam, and our spiritual death in this first man, God planned to bring the second man, the Lord from heaven, the Last Adam (the good will of God) through the woman/soul, so he could become "her seed". He put the woman’s seed at enmity with the serpent (the evil will) and his seed, (the carnal mind): God had to make, to prepare this body, this woman that he would come through first. Now the woman would be made first, unlike the first time, when he made Adam the man first. Why? The second time the man would be of the woman and this would save her in child-bearing. 6. Israel became that body God started all over with to bring the seed of the woman (MESSIAH) to save both her and regenerate her husband (the old man, the first Adam) through union with Christ at the cross. He made out of twain, one new man, thereby destroying the enmity between these two seeds. 7. The body of God is the soul, hence Israel is the soul of mankind, while the carnal mind is mans mind, ruled by the old man, and the old will as well: Israel was destined to fulfill the law by becoming willing to obey God in all his leading.....in all your ways acknowledge HIM and he will direct your path: David is the man who was finally able and ready to do this, but God chose him to become this Man, this King/will, and the term King is now the ruler over a people, just like the "WILL" is the ruler over a person: Hence King is the metaphor for the "WILL" which is why the Bible calls God the King of the Universe and the King of Kings: 8. in the fullness of time, when the soul/woman was developed enough, God brings forth him-self through this woman, which in the flesh is David, (Tribe of Judah). It is written, Christ is the root of David, to show this Soul has a righteous, the Messiah is here as the Holy root of this King. Jesus said he is also the offspring of David, and here is where the "LET US" comes in........David is the soul whose King (WILL) is after Gods own heart. David will bring forth the "people" who bring forth the Messiah. In the New Testament, one is not a Jew till they have the "Key of David" that opens what none can open and shuts what none can shut. Here is the "inner dimension of the heart": Only God can open our heart through this key and shut the noise and oppression of the carnal mind, the vessel of vanity that he will smash as a potter shatters his vessel, the old mind, so Christ in the soul can make a new mind for that soul. 9. Every man is appointed an hour where this happens to his inner dimension, his soul, when God “rises in him” as Messiah and brings him into a new dimension of “knowing” and understanding reality. Both inner and outer reality: 10. Christianity doesn't fully comprehend how God will make a new earth when they are all planning on going to heaven: They don’t understand Heaven and earth will be one, and the inner man of the heart, will manifest in the outer man of action or manifestation. Day 77 Hosea 6:3, the former and latter rains: Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month]. James discusses the early and latter rain: These rains represent the Jewish feast days of Passover and Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur comes in October every year: It also represents the "early morning" the fourth watch of the night, from approximately 3AM till 6AM. Mar 16:9 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. Jhn 20:1 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. LATTER RAINS....opsimos – late, later rain which falls in the months of March and April before the harvest - from opse (through the idea of backwardness); (adverbially) late in the day, the Sabbath having just passed, When the Lord comes, everything goes backwards back to Eden, back to eternity and timelessness. I experienced Yom Kippur, the early rains, and "received my atonement", before I passed over to the other side as Israel did. In the first exodus to the wilderness, the atonement came after the Passover: in the last days, we will experience first the atonement and then the Passover into the wilderness: Joe 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month]. If the latter rain is usually in April around Easter, and God will give it in the first month, we have to understand they come together in OCTOBER, because Yom Kippur is the first month of the original Hebrew calendar. It comes with Rosh Hashanah the beginning of the year. The rich men are those who have spiritual riches like the prodigal sons who wanted their inheritance, but wound up spending it all on harlots/carnal mind and riotous living: when judgment comes, they now must endure the judgment seat of Christ, where he rids them of all their enemies, which are within them: Jam 5:1 Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon [you]. Jam 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Jam 5:3 Your gold (love) and silver (desire) is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Jam 5:4 Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Jam 5:5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Jam 5:6 Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not resist you. The JUST is Jesus Christ, who is God with us, Jam 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Jam 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Jam 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. Jam 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Jam 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen (((the end of the Lord)))); that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Jam 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. Jam 5:13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Jam 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: The elders have the anointing to share because they are baptized into the name of Jesus: Jam 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Jam 5:16 Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Jam 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. Jam 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Jam 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Jam 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. Deu 11:14 That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain. Pro 16:15 In the light of the king's countenance [is] life; and his favour [is] as a cloud of the latter rain. Jer 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed. A whores forehead is when the 'WILL" (forehead) is in the carnal mind/harlot: Jer 5:24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. Hsa 6:3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and (((((HE SHALL COME UNTO US ))))))as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth. Zec 10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; [so] the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. 2Ki 23:21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as [it is] written in the book of this covenant. 2Ki 23:22 Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah; Hbr 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: Hbr 11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and (((the sprinkling of blood)))), lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. Hbr 12:24 And to [[[Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,]]]] and (((to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.))))) I Pe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Day 78 Are there different kinds of flesh? The WORD says there is: 1Cr 15:39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds. Spoken more plainly, there is flesh of men or antichrist, there is flesh of beasts or physical, there is flesh of fishes, or emotions and there is flesh of thoughts, or birds: 1Cr 15:40 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another. Cestial bodies exist as do terrestrial; they have different form: Does Paul explain what this means? 1Cr 15:41 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory. Celestial bodies are like the sun and the sun is metaphor for the Spirit, and the moon is the metaphor for the church or soul and the stars are metaphor for "spirits" or sons who wander away from God and need to return: 1Cr 15:42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 1Cr 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 1Cr 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. I Cr 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. Adam means “man” so the spiritual man is still a man and Man is the image and likeness of God when he is finished making man. Jesus had a body made of flesh and bone after his resurrection: Bone has a spiritual meaning, and it is the metaphor for substance and form whereas God outside of Man is without form. When God is in man he takes on the image of the spirit and likeness of the Spirit and also of Creation in general. Hence “let us” (creator and creation) make Man in “our” image and likeness. Luk 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Spirit has not flesh but “man” in the image and likeness of both creator and creation do have flesh and bone, as Jesus resurrected body shows us. 1Cr 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1Cr 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1Cr 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1Cr 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 1Cr 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 1Cr 15:55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 1Cr 15:56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 1Cr 15:57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our (((Lord Jesus Christ)))). 1Cr 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Does God want us to be “unclothed”? Spirits without form, without a house, a tabernacle? 2Cr 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 2Cr 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 2Cr 5:4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. No, God wanted to make a body for Christs and this is how he made the “man Jesus”. If the Church is his body, and he is our head, then why do some say, we won't have any kind of flesh? Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Earlier in Ephesians 5: Eph 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing. Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her] husband. Day 79 For the ELECTS sake........these days are shortened. I have been saying for years that Israel in me was revealed along with Jesus Christ in me, because judgment must come first to the house of God and Israel is that house; It is also written, Jesus comes first to the lost sheep (DESIRES) of the house of Israel: Jacob and Israel are one, but Israel is the elect part of Jacob while Jacob is the servant part of Israel: Israel is blinded till the Lord removes the vail, which is why even to this day when Moses is read the vail is over their face, but that is for all the HOUSE OF ISRAEL that is not yet revealed in the MIDST of the gentile natures throughout the four corners of the earth: When God begins to judge, he first gathers all the parts of the heart, the 12 tribes of Israel and he takes them unto himself; then we see the great crowd of gentiles that are grafted into Israel (Rev 7, Romans 11) who now also are raised from the dead along with Israel: Isa 45:4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Mar 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. Looking at the whole chapter of Mathew 24, which I have many times written about over the years, we know that the DESOLATE HOUSE is also the abomination of desolation, and this is ISRAEL, who will not see JESUS CHRIST till they say, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD (YHVH): When Israel in me was revealed, God began with Judah, since this is the first tribe gathered and revealed, because this is the tribe through whom MESSIAH comes: This is why we get the "key of David" at this juncture so we can open what none can open (the gates to the kingdom) and shut what none can shut (our door back to our old vessel of vanity that is BROKEN to pieces when the Lord suddenly comes into his TEMPLE, the house of Israel within: Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. The sons of Israel are the stones: they must all FALL as we see Saul fall to the earth: I experienced this and it really was out of my hands: I was truly cast down as it is written: The destruction of the first two temples is the destruction of the one Solomon built, and Herod’s temple: One greater than Solomon has come, but who can abide his coming? Mat 24:3 ¶ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? This is a PRIVATE MEETING with the disciples on the MT of Olives (anointing) Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. To me Christ must increase and I must decrease: If Christ increases and I decrease, how do I become Christ? It is more true to say I live, but NOT I, yet Christ in me.....giving all the glory to God and his Christ: I believe there are also many who come in Jesus name saying "I am Christ" (meaning "I am anointed") and shall deceive many. Not everyone who claims to be anointed is in fact anointed. Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Mat 24:7 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan now have their spiritual battle in high places and we not wrestle against flesh and blood, but these spiritual forces within us are battling to the END of the Old, so all things can become NEW: Mat 24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows. The battle is not the end of sorrows, but the beginning: Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for ((( my name's sake)))). The amazing part is to be hated by those who claim to be Christ and those who claim to LOVE Jesus: I have experienced a lot of hate in the past 17 years by Christians more than almost anyone else. Mat 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. A false prophet is someone who has not yet experienced the "Holy Spirit poured out on their flesh" which causes them to prophecy; They also have not yet become a "WITNESS of Jesus", seen Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy. So why do these people prophecy? They feel moved to "tell the future" apart from the Word, from their own wishful thinking. Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Once the tribulation begins within, only those who ENDURE to the END will find themselves having overcome all things: Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Mat 24:15 ¶ When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand :) I saw this abomination in 1992.....and I understand......it was in the holy place, the HEART of the TEMPLE, where antichrist sat where he ought not have sat, on the throne of the heart: Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Judah flees first to Zion Mat 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Once you are lifted up to top of your inner house, don't take anything from the lower parts back out. Mat 24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. (Don't take your old covering with you). Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! The SOUL, who brings forth Christ the "man-child" , is the one with child, and Satan casts out the great flood of persecution against that woman, that soul: Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: My flight was at the end of the sixth day, and it was in the fall of Yom Kippur: I thank God I didn't have to wait till the thousand year reign to enter into my rest: Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Thank God that the elect will be able to make their election sure because they shall know all things, since the spirit of truth that is poured out on them shall bring on the prophecy, which will build the HOUSE OF God, Israel is that house and that MAN in Jesus Christ: Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before. Mat 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not. Mat 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Satan falls like lightening out of heaven, from the point of the east/revelation to the west/yam the sea/subconscious part of the woman, and even to the earth where his messengers continue to buffet the mind till it is renewed by the GRACE that is sufficient and the JOY of the Lord that is our strength is made PERFECT in our weakness: Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. The carcass are the "dead in Christ" and the woman is carried away by eagles wings to that place prepared for her while Satan persecutes her........to destroy her, but her Child that she brought forth is in heaven, the spirit made one with Christ and the Father and shall lead her.....and overcome Satan in her along with all darkness: Mat 24:29 ¶ Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: Jacob is the sun and the woman is clothed with Jacob and the moon is Rachel (sheep/desires) under her feet and here Israel (he will rule with God) is transformed till Christ in her, puts all her enemies under her feet, and the last enemy destroyed is DEATH itself: Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. The mourning of the nations is real, and so is "seeing this sign” (cross), because here is the only way to enter into the Sabbath rest. Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. REV 7 is now happening: Mat 24:32 ¶ Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh: Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. This generation is the last generation and this generation who sees things being fulfilled within them-selves. Mat 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Mat 24:36 ¶ But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mat 24:41 Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Mat 24:45 ¶ Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Mat 24:46 Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Mat 24:47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. Mat 24:48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; Mat 24:49 And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; Mat 24:50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of, Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Day 80 Where is prophecy fulfilled? Prophecy is fulfilled first in our inner man, our heart; the inner court of the temple that is left desolate till we say blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. Jesus is the ONE who comes in the LORD'S name and reveals Gods NAME. (YHVH) Jesus’ Hebrew name Yahshuwah means “salvation of YHVH-Jehovah. How is Jesus revealed in that name? Yah is the first part of God’s name, and shuah means ‘salvation’, riches. Also one can say the letter “shin” (three flames coming out of a single point) is within the name “YHVH” (W and V are the same and vowels are not part of the original alphabet but inserted for variance in the word. The second coming is when Jesus "IS COME" (present tense) to individual hearts, (they are truly anointed) after they first see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel standing in the Holy place (our heart) where he ought not to be. The same is mentioned in Mathew 24 as a witness to itself in the Word. The heart is wicked above all things, who can know it? These people worship me with their lips (they confess), but their hearts are far from me: The prophecies are fulfilled in Israel, which the code name for the heart of "Man", made to be the image of God just as the mind is made (renewed) to be the likeness of God.(Let this mind be in you). Israel is exiled and hidden and blind within the gentile nature where Israel is sifted till it is revealed the coming of the Lord JESUS CHRIST in his saints. There is no other place Jesus Christ IS or WILL come and here is where antichrist is cast out from us, (our heart-the Kingdom of heaven, Gods throne) showing he is not from us. The last days are proven that many antichrists are already in the world. The antichrist is resurrected with Jesus Christ in his people.....a resurrection of the JUST (Jesus Christ) and the UNJUST (antichrist) who will be destroyed by the second death, but the Soul who brings forth Christ the first-fruits, will not be hurt by the second death. The second death is the fire baptism "into Jesus name". This baptism rids us of all our enemies and this is why we can use his name in vain when we say know him, but our heart is far from him. A heart that knows Jesus is pure in heart because Jesus brings that soul back to the Father to show that Jesus and the Father are "one". To the pure in heart, all things are pure for that reason. This scripture doesn't make us feel like we better get a pure heart or else, but instead this is written so we know we will be pure in heart and "see God" when he reveals himself in his people at their appointed time. The second coming is on an individual level, when Israel all sit in their "own tent" with God, and that is what the "feast of tabernacles" means; God tabernacles with man, each in his own order. Jesus comes in clouds and we are the great cloud of "witnesses" whom he comes in. Those of us who have seen his COMING, know the truth and it sets us free. Those who have not yet experienced his coming will have to understand no man knows the HOUR the KINGDOM is restored to ISRAEL within them. Until Israel within (the heart) is visited, they remain blind....unable to see the light of the glorious gospel and the Vail is still over their face when Moses is read. Israel doesn’t recognize them-selves even if one preaches about the “old testament, the law and prophets. If the VAIL is still over their face and they do not understand Moses or the prophets they certainly will not comprehend the light of the glorious gospel, the "New Covenant" where God writes the law in their heart and mind. Those who have been redeemed from the earth, have the "witness of Jesus", the blood of the Lamb (holy spirit or life blood that runs through their "spiritual body" (reserved in heaven for all of us when that hour comes, and they have the words of his testimony/witness, which builds the house of Israel into one new man, the "new man" in Christ, the inner man of the heart. Here is where God looks; here is where the candle of the LORD (nashama) searches the inward part of the heart. God isn't looking at the outer man, cup, vessel; he knows what it is made of. God knows men's hearts without this visitation to Israel within. God is looking at the inner part of us and here is where God does his work so it can manifest outwardly by faith "renewing the mind" as one confesses unto their salvation. Israel still needs to mix the oracles of God given to them with faith to receive the Promise. It is not possible for a mind to be a new creation, when Israel is full of "dead men's bones". The spirit of prophecy will rebuild this HOUSE of Israel, by joining the bones to bones and covering them with flesh and blowing the Life spirit into that new man of the heart. The testimony/witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy that is poured out on all flesh in the Last days. The last days are revealed in individual souls, which is why it will be such a difficult time as no other since the beginning of time. If everyone went through it together, everyone would understand......but it is experienced individually and therefore most will not believe us when we prophecy, and some will be believed even though they are false prophets who are able to tickle the ears of the people and continue to speak to them of the vain things that fill the imagination of their hearts, preventing Israel to receive a heart that understands knowledge. God help all your people, come quickly to all Lord Jesus. Let all eyes see you soon and all tongues confess and all knees bow to you soon. Please finish your work in the world. We long to see the beautiful fulfillment in your people: We long to see the heart (tifereth) filled with beauty for ashes and compassion for all the body who suffers together so it can be raised together with Jesus Christ. We can love on a human level without God in our heart; for it is written even the evil can love those who love them. It takes the love of God shed abroad in "our heart" to love even our enemies, but Gods love isn't emotional love: Gods love is a consuming fire that rids us of all that would KEEP US from the fulfillment of his GRACE, mercy, judgment,-law, wisdom, understanding, faith, good will, Eden/Pleasure, Beauty, compassion, Sincerity, victory, truth, and humility, in other words, all that would keep us from the "knowledge/da'ath" of God in our heart. The heart that understands knowledge is a heart that has received the light of "wisdom" from above and brought it to earth below. All who hate wisdom, love death, even if this is hidden from them by deceiver. Day 81 Chi xi stigma, the number of the beast’s name. It is also the number of a man, 666. In Greek, Strong’s concordance explains it is the 22d, 14th and an obsolete letter (4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers. Strong’s says...1) six hundred and sixty six, the meaning of which is the basis of much vain speculation, yet, it shows that the 22cond Greek letter and an obsolete letter that is the "stigma as a cross" is between the 5th and 6th letter: The 22cond is agamos, and means unmarried: The 14th agathoergeo, means to work good, to do good, to do well, act right: the word stigma (mark) is between the fifth (abba/father) and Habel/Abel, which means 'vanity" or transitory: In my spiritual discernment from my own experience, the cross kills the old man who is the first vessel God made, the vain vessel from the father which is transitory, even while he is making a ‘new vessel of honor, made for the "new man" in Christ. Paul bore the mark (stigma) of Jesus in his body: Those who have this mark can buy (of Jesus) and sell (all they have, which is the old man, old carnal mind): Rev 13:17 And that no man might (((buy or sell))), save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. The mark of the beast is required for buying and selling: Look at the list of scriptures that has to do with "buying and selling" and ask the Holy Spirit to interpret why Jesus said "BUY OF ME" gold tried by fire, and why it is written, sell all you have and follow me? Only the mind that gives up all and receives all, can be both destroyed and made new again: Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark in his forehead, or in his hand, Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Rev 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Those with the mark of the beast receive the wine of Gods wrath and are tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb but the elect experience both Jesus Christ and Satan in them so they can no longer be fooled. Once you experience the wrath of the Lamb overcoming the wrath of Satan because his time is short, you will never question the same things you did before this visitation and spiritual warfare in heaven (our heart within). Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. The soul gets victory (netzak) over the beast, his image and mark and the number of his name: The beast, false prophet and them who worshipped his image were cast "alive" (not dead) into the lake of fire: Remember I showed that it is written, there is a resurrection of the JUST (Jesus Christ) and the UNJUST (antichrist) at the coming of the Lord? The antichrist has to be revealed and he is what dies in the "Second death", not the soul who brings forth Jesus Christ, but the "seed of the serpent", which is the image of the beast while the serpent is the beast. Jesus Christ becomes sin for us so we can become the “righteousness of God”. Jesus becomes the "beast" on the cross so the "old man" can become the righteousness of the “new man” in Christ. The cross is what takes away the ENMITY God put between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman at the cross, thereby making PEACE and breaking down the wall that separates these two: Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The soul never knew the old man Satan and the soul never worshipped the physical Jesus or his image and neither did it receive the "mark" upon their forehead and hands: It is the old man like Cain who is marked for destruction, not the “new man” in Christ: When the old man is baptized by fire or crucified with Christ, the old spirit literally transforms into an angel of light and the "daystar rises in our heart". Lucifer means "morning star", and this star that falls, will also be cast into the lake of fire to experience the second death, but this will not harm the soul one bit but help it instead. Here is beauty for ashes in Zion for the many sons that Jesus Christ brings to glory. Here is a further witness of the mark of the beast which is also written in Strong’s where the 600, 60 and 6 written in Hebrew. First the verse where "stigma" is used in Greek: Stigma from a primary stizo (to "stick", i.e. prick) 1) a mark pricked in or branded upon the body. To ancient oriental usage, slaves and soldiers bore the name or the stamp of their master or commander branded or pricked (cut) into their bodies to indicate what master or general they belonged to, and there were even some devotee's who stamped themselves in this way with the token of their gods. Gal 6:17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks (STIGMA) of the Lord Jesus. Now, for the Hebrew 600-CLOSED or Final Mem, 60-Samech, 6-vov---The 22 Hebrew letters have five of these closed or final letters which are changed from open to closed at the coming of Messiah: 400 is the value of Tav which is the 22 and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The next 5 letters are from 500 to 1000 in 100 value increments: the final Kaph is 500 the final Mem is 600 the final Nun is 700 the final Pei is 800 the final tzaddi is 900 alef is both one and 1000 Having said that, the Hebrew meaning of the "666" is 600 is the FINAL MEM, the Samech (60) and the Vov (6) are the value of the 666. Here is what Rabbi Ginsburgh says about the "Hebrew letters" at "inner.org". The final mem is a closed underground watering system which represents unconscious states of being: It is also the POWER of reproduction in the water of the womb, the spiritual womb: The Samech is the ring within the ring, or endless cycle: It is also the vacuum or void (tzimtzum) created by the contraction of Gods infinite light. I will add here this happened to me so my first understanding of Messiah could be cut off (second death) so he can resurrect us together the second time after the "second death". The Samech also represents the tzaddik or righteous one hidden in the foundation of the world: The marriage of two halves of the soul and more. The vov is the third letter in Jehovah's name, Yod Hei, vov, hei......and it is the connecting letter of the Son from father to creature: The beginning of all creation where God sent the “single line of the vov” into the void (tzimtzum) . I see this as the light entering the darkness. God did this to create when he contracted him-self in the middle, the womb of creation: The vov also represents a man standing upright, the complete stature of Man, standing on earth with his head reaching towards heaven: The torso in relation to hands, feet and brit/circumcision: The pillar of truth, divinity piercing through the middle point of every creation. I add like the "eye of the needle". Day 82 Do you want to be a bishop: 1Ti 3:1 This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. Bishop: episkopē -investigation, inspection, visitation that act by which God looks into and searches out the ways, deeds character, of men, in order to adjudge them their lot accordingly, whether joyous or sad b) oversight. The word bishop is used four times in the New Testament. Luk 19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation (Episkope-bishopry). Act 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate (eremos-solitary, deserted, wilderness, uninhabited, lonley region, woman neglected by her husband, flock deserted by the Shepherd) and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick (episkope) let another take. 1Ti 3:1 This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 1Pe 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold , glorify God in the day of visitation (episkope-Bishopry). Why would beholding our good works, make us glorify God in the day of our visitation? The same reason that the Bishop of our soul is the visitation of our soul. Who is the Bishop of our soul? 1Pe 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned (repented) unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. So the bottom line is, Jesus Christ the good worker of our soul is the Bishop of our soul and he is the ONE who takes over in and for Judas, but it is hidden in the name (GIFT OF YAH): Act 1:22 Beginning from the baptism of John, (repentance, return to the root) unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. (Emphasis “one must be ordained to be a witness of his resurrection”). Act 1:23 And they appointed two, Joseph (he will add) called Barsabas, (son of Sabas-from tseba-to desire, be willing, be pleased, to will without endurance) who was surnamed Justus, (JUST) and Matthias. (gift of Yah)Act 1:24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all [men], shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, Act 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. Act 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. So, to desire to be a bishop is a good thing, because he desires to let Jesus Christ through the visitation of their soul be the “gift of Yah” the one who is .....1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; …..1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; ….1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;…. 1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Who can rule over the house that is left desolate, an abomination? First the abomination of desolation is revealed, (the Holy Place) and then Jesus Christ rids us of the antichrist, the old man, the husband of the woman/soul prior to marrying the soul. 1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 1Ti 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 1Ti 3:8 Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; Jesus Christ is the bishop (visitation) of our Soul, but who are the deacons? A deacon is a servant, which would be "our new mind", whereas Jesus Christ in our soul is our new and good will: Lets see if I can prove that: Deacon diakonos probably from an obsolete diako -1) one who executes the commands of another, esp. of a master, a servant, attendant, minister a) the servant of a king b) a deacon, one who, by virtue of the office assigned to him by the church, cares for the poor and has charge of and distributes the money collected for their use c) a waiter, one who serves food and drink Our new mind becomes the servant of the “will” who is the King of the queen which is the heart: Not only must our will be Jesus Christ but he must be married to "one wife" the soul, which means the "harlot" or carnal mind must have become the "servant" even as Mary Magdalene, from whom Christ cast out seven devils, became the first he revealed himself to. Mary Madge line (the mind) could not cleave to him (wives submit yourselves to your husbands and husbands cleave to your wives) till he first ascended to his father. Jesus Christ does take the Jew with him, but not all Israel marries him at once and certainly the gentiles (new mind) don't immediately cleave to him, but must endure the firey trial of their faith even as the "heart" (Israel) had to be sanctified in the wilderness, solitary place. Deacons must also……1Ti 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. (Consciousness between good and evil, (discernment, prompting the good and shunning evil): The mystery of the faith, which is God who both authors (from Keter to Tiferet ) or from the crown of life to the heart and then finishes our faith by bringing the truth from the heart to the "new mind" (Malkuth-Kingdom) as leaves (thoughts) for the "Healing of the nations" or gentiles: From faith to faith.......heart to mind and glory to glory........heart to mind. Yet it all begins with Jesus Christ in us as the Bishop/visitation, overseer of our soul: This faith must be found in all parts of us, but why is it a MSTERY? mystērion from a derivative of muo (to shut the mouth). It shuts the mouth of the one who speaks it because no one understands him even if he shouts it from the rooftops: 1) hidden thing, secret, mystery a) generally mysteries, religious secrets, confided only to the initiated and not to ordinary mortals b) a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding c) a hidden purpose or counsel 1) secret will) of men b) of God: the secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men but plain to the godly 2) in rabbinic writings, it denotes the mystic or hidden sense a) of an OT saying b) of an image or form seen in a vision c) of a dream the mystery is revealed in the visitation or bishopry of Jesus Christ: 1Ti 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being [found] blameless. 1Ti 3:11 Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. It really says, even so, the wives/gyne or women, which is who brings forth the SEED which is Christ, so these are the SOULS that belong to Jesus Christ and brought him forth: The wives or gyne, is the betrothed woman, the virgin, widow and wife, hence the soul of the “man” Jesus Christ and these ....must be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things: The wives are the sons, who marry God, or Jesus Christ and these in turn are of one mind and its fruit/children and they rule their house/soul well: 1Ti 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 1Ti 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. The word degree bathmos, means a "threshold, a step, a grade of dignity and wholesomeness in the church; but it is from and has the same meaning as the word bathos-same as (DEEP) : 1) depth, height a) of "the deep" sea b) metaph. 1) deep, extreme, poverty 2) of the deep things of God. 1Ti 3:14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the (((house of God, which is the church of the living God))))), the ((((pillar and ground of the truth))))). ITi 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. the word manifest means to reveal to us: phaneroō -1) to make manifest or visible or known what has been hidden or unknown, to manifest, whether by words, or deeds, or in any other way a) make actual and visible, realized b) to make known by teaching c) to become manifest, be made known d) of a person 1) expose to view, make manifest, to show one's self, appear e) to become known, to be plainly recognized, thoroughly understood 1) who and what one is …….this is a great mystery indeed: Justified in the Spirit shows…. seen of angels, shows who the eye that sees him belongs to, the measure of an angel, the measure of a man….and that Man is not the first Adam, but it is the last Adam, the man in God’s image and likeness……who is like God? Jesus Christ, that’s who! Who is Jesus Christ? The creator begotten in and through his own creation (each man in his own order) as the "only Son" (Yechida-darling, only Son): Day 83 God making man in his image and likeness to this day and that man is Jesus Christ "in us" in four stages. I wrote a whole booklet about the four levels of being made "man" out of the body God prepared for him-self to come through in order to make this "man" Jesus with his Spirit Christ. I want to put a summary of the same here. Jesus asked, what would a "man" give in exchange for his soul? I say with discernment and experience, he has to give up his 'life' which is his vain imagination or ego, to gain true life, which is the "life giving spirit" (Jesus Christ) that will save his soul even though it will destroy his vessel of vanity including all its imaginations and everything that exalts itself against the "knowledge of God" in him. The first level we are "seekers" or let me speak for myself, I was a seeker of the truth, and I found bits and pieces but could not put them together to understand the whole puzzle. In our seeking, we keep forgetting "REPENTANCE" (return to God, to the root of the tree) but instead, we try to become "better and better Christians" through our old nature, and it doesn't work. Finally one day, God sends us the "Spirit of Elijah" which ENABLES us to truly remember to REPENT, to RETURN to God and stop trying to be God. This repentance brings us to the "root of our soul" and is followed by Christ baptism by fire of the Holy Spirit: This second level is Christ consciousness, or Christ in me, the hope for glory: Here, my Christmas came when I reached the "root of my soul", by climbing down (repent, letting go of all my desire to God) the ladder (Jacob's) to reach the holy root, (returned all the way back to the beginning of my soul) and found everything I ever wanted as a human being. Christ in me was resurrected and even though I didn't quite understand this to be my first resurrection, I knew he was the resurrection and life in me. I didn't yet understand why it was called "Jacobs ladder' because I didn't yet have the revelation of Israel as being my soul yet, while the gentile part of me was the seeker for wisdom and truth. I didn't yet understand that Israel in me was blinded or Israel would repent and return to God before my gentile nature was ready to receive the revelation of Jesus Christ. I didn't fully grasp the wisdom (light) that was given to me from above, but I certainly experienced it and from this point, wisdom would bring understanding to my heart and knowledge to renew my mind (vessel of vanity) that would soon be shattered. After this second level, which is Christ in me, the third level began as Israel was revealed, and Satan was also revealed as the "man of sin" who ruled in the heart of Israel making the heart wicked above all things. Jesus Christ in me had to turn me over to Satan because he asked for me to sift me. Jesus prayed that my faith fail me not. He also gave me everything I needed to overcome at the point of the "second death", my spirit being crucified with Christ, so my spirit/will could be "in Christ' as Christ was in my soul. (Here is my Easter as well as the Passover, my second and better resurrection that includes the resurrection of my soul with him). The fourth level is when the inner Kingdom which I gained through the spiritual warfare in stage III, was now able to be brought to "earth" as it is in heaven within me. Now I had to climb back up to gain my whole soul, my animal soul, the nephesh soul. I realized in hind sight that the soul of Israel is the neshama and the soul of the gentile is the nephesh in us all. We all begin with an animal soul (nephesh)where God authors our faith until we gain the neshama (seven candlesticks/churches) and Jesus Christ lightens them with his own light, the life of 'man'. The neshama is the "heart" that is made pure by the "right Spirit" in the heart, and that righteous Spirit is Christ in us. Then the new heart with the new will, renews the nephesh soul, the animal soul which is the renewing my "mind" to be "LIKE" the "mind of Christ" that was given to me in stage II: The fourth level is when heaven and earth or heaven and nature are one new creation because of the "new Man" we become through the "union" of Spirit and wedding of that Spirit to the heart/bride. After I gained the inner Kingdom through Jesus Christ in me, I started talking about the "creation" again instead of becoming Christ conscious: I struggled remembering that those who have not experienced levels I, II, and III, could not even imagine what stage IV consists of. To them, their nature is not new but still old trying to clean itself up, self atonement. They are still seeking and striving to overcome their "natural man", and have no idea that there is a "new man" and a new creature" that is planned from the foundation of the world. The new nature is due to the new heavens within, and now, the manifestation on earth does manifest fully because of the "new heavens" that God creates FIRST, are able to manifest on earth as in heaven. The heavens are God's throne and the earth is his footstool. I was talking to my daughter this morning about one of her favorite movies the past decade, "Lord of the Rings", and even though I never saw it, I explained that Froto and Sam were really ONE and the same, but Froto was his inner angel, his inner guide (and a child shall lead them): This is why Sam was given a family and friends in the earthly realm while Froto went back to the spiritual realm: She was so sad that Froto didn't get the same blessing, but I explained, he was not purposed for that. The inner new man in me doesn't want the same things the "nephesh" or animal soul wants: Yet they are both part of my new nature. The new man in me is the measure of the angel, 144 cubits and there is no marriage in heaven, but the angels are happy to be fiery ministers (messengers) of God, helping man become a "new creation" on earth as they are in heaven: The good and great news is this..........God, his ministers of fire, the Holy Spirit, his Son/Word from his bosom and our "new nature" are all part of our experience eventually. Like Jesus said if we put the Kingdom and his righteousness first, we will get 100-fold return in this life, and eternal life in the world to come. The benefits for this life are just as real to those who are born from above (inner Kingdom), because of Christ in them and these are spiritually joined to Christ, so their will becomes "one" which means "in him" even as he first came to them. The purpose is to fill up the soul with the Christ light and fulfill the purpose God made the soul. We are made to live in many worlds in the ages to come but at the same time. We are meant to enjoy many levels of existence and enjoy them all: Those who are still waiting for Christ to come have not yet received their "witness of Jesus". Their eye has not yet seen him come in the clouds and they have not yet bowed their knee "in his name" or confessed his name to the glory of the Father. Without the witness/testimony of Jesus, the Holy Spirit has not yet given them the prophecy (Rev 19:10) to build the house of Israel (their heart) which comes from being baptized into "Jesus name". If one does not have the testimony of Jesus, they still come in their own name to bring the gospel. They have not been sent as apostles (separated ones) because they are not "yet eye-witnesses". I should stick to my own testimony on these things. I didn't understand any of these things till my apprehension by Jesus Christ in my soul. I wanted to "like God" so bad, that I didn’t understand what God wants and is doing at all in his people. The name Mary, both the mother of Jesus and Magdalene are named Mary: One part represents the part of us that "never knew a man"" or knew Satan or the evil spirit of antichrist, and this would be Mary the mother of Jesus, who brings forth Christ in us: This Mary is from the house of David, the virgin that has the OIL-Christ. Then there is the "seed of the serpent" the carnal mind and she must repent and be renewed, hence the renewing of the mind is the New Testament, which is the salvation of Mary Magdalene. The part that is forgiven much, loves much. The new heart is Mary the mother, who represents the "neshama" part of the seven candlesticks that is fulfilled by Christ born in us. To me this was the same as saying the law and prophets are fulfilled in me through Christ in me. So in my experience, I received Christ who first gave me a new heart with his engrafted Word and righteous Spirit. Then the heart confessed unto a new mind, hence, out of the "abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" and this is working out my salvation with "fear and trembling" The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Mary has to bring forth Christ before he can save the soul which is a new heart and a new mind where God writes his law in both. The new heart is Israel; hence the King of Israel is Jesus Christ the good will of Jehovah in us, which is why they are one, able to make us one with him-self. The new mind is the gentile nature who is now part of the commonwealth of Israel, but both together are the "new creation" whose head is the "new man" Jesus Christ: Day 84 Since my own regeneration and deliverance of Israel in me, I notice all the different ways people see Jesus and this is why he is called the "Stone" that stumbles, because the builders of the first house (our carnal mind) rejected this foundation in them, this rock upon which God builds his house. some see him as a man who had Christ in him some see him as a good man who became Christ some see him as a man who showed us what to do to find God some see him as an ex sinner who grew into Christ some see him as the example of how to act some see him as a dichotomy of contradiction some see him as an enigma to figure out some see him as a historical martyr for political causes some see him as a peaceful pacifist some see him as a Jew who followed Jewish law, and failed some see him as a Jew who turned the law upside its head some see him as a freedom fighter some see him as a liar and from the devil some see him as irrelevant some see him as a hero that helped the underdog some see him as a religious feminist some see him as the flesh of every man, hence the sinner in us all???? I am sure I didn't include all the ways people see Jesus, but only one who knows him, can say they are a 'witness of Jesus' instead of a witness of their "own" ideas and understanding of Jesus: There are many who stick to the doctrine of Jesus Christ and fare better in defining Jesus than those who try to define him by their own ideas, but even here, it isn't enough to know the doctrine of Christ with our head, but to have the Word engrafted into the heart to "know" Jesus as he truly IS: Jesus is Christ (and God is in Christ) manifest in flesh, becoming the "Word made flesh" in us. How can this flesh be like our flesh? How can the “Word made flesh” be like any other flesh? Jesus is God in the flesh which is why Jesus is not a person, but the "MAN" God made himself to be.........God with us O EMMANUEL. If someone can not yet understand or grasp this Jesus, it is because they never knew him like this, they never heard this man speak within their heart or mind, and never experienced Christ the Light being "formed into Man" by being joined (married) to their own soul to make them "man" baptized into this NAME above all names, the "salvation of Jehovah'. The Jew in us, the part of the heart that brings forth Christ, is circumcised by the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God that the soul must bring forth to "know" him. There is no other way to KNOW HIM than to bring him forth and we can't just choose to bring forth Christ: In order to bring Christ forth, we have to repent (return to God) to find the "root of our soul". In other words, we have to be at the bottom of Jacobs ladder, down down down where the "soul root" is found and this Holy root is Christ, who becomes the man Jesus once the soul has found him and becomes joined to him by yielding all her desire to him and him alone. Once Christ is in our heart and not just part of our "belief" system, we become a new creation through this baptism into his name, which is a baptism by water (word) and fire (Holy Spirit). We can not really say we are baptized into Jesus name before Christ is risen in us, and even after Christ is in us, we don't come in Jesus name (a name only he him-self knows) till we are baptized by fire into that name. This baptism by fire, by the Holy Spirit means we are no longer sinners at this point. When we become one with Christ, we are named Jesus, a Name only he himself knows, because you have to be Jesus, to know Jesus, and being Jesus is not possible without bringing forth Christ (first resurrection) and experiencing the "second death", which is what loins us to Christ as one new man. Knowing Christ crucified, is what overcomes the stumbling in the Jew in us and gives us the wisdom the gentile part of us seeks for. Till we experience the cross we are not “one will" with Christ, hence the soul is not baptized into Jesus name. Till we experience the CROSS, our old man is not crucified "with Christ"; when we experience the cross, everything before it seem like dung in our lives. When Christ the light of the world, filled my mind, it was my first resurrection, but Christ was not the only thing resurrected in me: The “unjust” part of me was resurrected as well, but it was resurrected for damnation: Antichrist is not really part of us which is why he goes out from us: Yet he is "within our temple/heart" as god so that we don't really "know Jesus" till Christ comes and casts him out with the brightness of his coming and the truth of his appearing. Once Christ grew in my soul big enough so that my soul was ready to be joined to him, he took my old man to the cross, kicking and screaming the whole way: The light of Christ was so big, that it broke my old vain vessel or mind and revealed the "dead spirit" in me and in everyone else from that point on so that I could see what manner of spirit we are of before our spirit is "born from above" regenerated through being crucified with Christ who was brought forth in our first resurrection: When the old vain vessel is gone, and our old man (spirit-will) is finally crucified with Christ, then the SOUL has all that it NEEDS to be saved and it is able to be finished in faith, the faith of the Son of God in us: The same "repentance" (return to the root of the soul) that got us to Christ, is now able to get us back up that ladder of the soul, and grow into the full stature of Jesus Christ, the "man" that is both spirit (God’s) and soul (ours elected to become his body). This is the GOSPEL I know from experience that the carnal mind is unable to "contain" all the light that is Christ in us which is why that mind shatters at the coming of Christ: Once the old mind shatters, the old man is exposed for what he is and he has no place to hide: The old man hides in his seed the carnal mind till Christ appears. The new man Jesus Christ hides the soul, his mother, brother sister and eventual bride: Making Jesus the old man makes him irrelevant. Only Christ in us is able to save us because God is in Christ, within the anointing that flows from the "head of the new man" to the whole body. Only Christ in us is able to save us, because God is in Christ and not in the old man. To get God into the soul, the soul must first get to its own root, the "holy root" and this is how we know who we are, because we receive the "key of David". David is the "flesh of Jesus" the Man formed by Christ in us but David is also the soul/woman/body made for Christ, David is not the old man: David means beloved and this is the soul at the point of bringing forth Messiah because the virgin is from the house of David, the tribe of Judah, hence Judah is gathered firsts when the four winds gather the tribes of Israel in Revelation 7 and per Zechariah 12. Receiving the Key of David makes us a spiritual Jew which is the only kind of Jew that matters to God. Salvation is of the Jews because we have to be Jews (praise of God) to bring forth our salvation. We are also gentiles and we are Israel as a whole, but Jews in particular when we bring forth Christ who saves our soul, renews our mind and joins him-self to the old man/spirit that ruled in us before we found the root of our soul, the good root of the tree of knowledge which becomes the 'tree of life' when the old and evil root is plucked up. Jesus Christ said, he was the root and offspring of David: Christ is the root and Jesus is the offspring, but both root (of Jesse) and the tree that grows from it is one tree; the "tree of life" in our soul. Once Christ is risen in us, putting us into the first resurrection, God doesn't want our old nature to condemn our new nature or the new nature in anyone else either: We are already condemned before Christ is risen in us: we are dead in our sins: Once Christ is risen, the soul becomes "the weakness of God" and God honors this weakness, because his strength (Jesus Christ) is made PERFECT in our weakness and therefore we are told to honor the weaker vessel as well: This vessel will sin till Christ completely rids us of all our enemies, but once we belong to Christ, we don't have to listen to those who want to condemn us and criticize us for not being "like Christ" in their eyes: They don't even know what they are talking about when they look for us to be Christ or be like him in their opinion. Christ is Christ and he is like God and he increases as the "body of sin" decreases from faith to faith and glory to glory, (heart and mind). Whatever is finished in us is in a different place and space in us and a different level than that which is not finished in us. When people can't see this division within us, it is because they have never experienced it, and if they never have, they don't know how to discern what manner of spirit one is of at the moment: The Word (sword of the Spirit) severs one part from the other so they do not touch any longer. It is actually like walking in two different pair of shoes, leather/beast and shoes shod with the gospel of peace. Only one pair can be on at a time; In other words, we either walk according to the flesh in us or the regenerated Spirit in us. Till Christ rids us completely of Satan by putting him under our feet, we will be troubled by him and we may even fall seven times a day, but because our right leg and right hand is the righteous man in us, the left side, the weakness of God, the soul, is already considered clean in God's sight because he sees us through Christ and not the old man or nature any longer. If Christ did not come to make us man (no longer male or female) but "man" in Gods image and likeness, what would save us? Without becoming man, Christ remains the anointing upon but outside the soul, and the soul without the anointing within, is still dead in its trespasses and sins: It is the anointing that breaks the YOKE between the soul and Satan. It is the new man that has Christ as its light that is his life. Without being made man, formed into Man by the Spirit of God (Christ in us) God would still be in Christ, but we would not be reconciled yet from the world. The soul is the body God prepared for him-self to reconcile to him-self when he severs it from the "old man" (old spirit) in us so he can crucify the old man first, and then sanctify the "body of sin" till it becomes the "body of the Lord" as it yields its members to him, his Good Will in us. Christ is the light of man and the light is not comprehended by the carnal mind or old man, so Christ would be and die in vain if the old man could save himself by any other means. God made out of one lump (one person) a vessel of dishonor (carnal mind) and one of honor, the soul. Jesus Christ is the SEED of the woman/soul the vessel of honor, while the carnal mind is the "SEED" of Satan, the old man/will that is disobedient to God and is made for Gods wrath. The old man doesn't become the "new man" through becoming Christ; the old man becomes the new man, when he is crucified with Christ, and this frees the soul from her old man and gives her a new man, a new head, the man Jesus, whose head is Christ and God is in Christ reconciling the world to him-self. Day 85 Ours is the flesh Jesus "IS come” (present tense) into, when "Suddenly the LORD shall come into His Temple" the temple we are. I experienced this suddenly (in the twinkling of an eye) and can no longer deny that the Lord is the "Spirit man" the new man and not just like any man who walked the earth. The apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ are his body the Church. It is they who Jesus Christ is born in and dies in and transforms into his image and likeness. If we are the body of the Lord, we suffer and die with him so we can be raised with him. I used to think Jesus was mortal flesh and blood outside of us too, but it is His Spirit and our flesh even though it is David according to the flesh, but we receive the “key of David” when we reach this level of the soul. The sower sows the seed according to Mark 4, and we are told the seed is the word of God (Jesus Christ is the Word of God). When the seed falls into the “good ground” deep within the heart, into a part of us that has favor with God because he kept it away from Satan, the seed will bring forth 30, 60, 100-fold return. Mary the virgin or good ground of our heart never knew a man, and that virgin of Israel is in all who bring forth Christ. If Jesus did not have a physical father, how could he be a physical Man? Satan is the father of the flesh in us; hence it is written ye are of your father the devil: It is also written that we are begotten through Jesus Christ in us in us........and this is how we become a Spiritual man because we become his body and no longer the “body of sin”. Those who have never experienced the "first resurrection" (Christ in them, through their soul the virgin of Israel) have not had Satan revealed and he has not yet sifted them, buffeted them and truly fought against them because till Christ is born in us, we belong to Satan, who uses us before he finally destroys us in the process of addiction, sickness and diseases. Yet Satan’s wrath is great towards us when he can’t use us any longer because his time is short once Christ is in us. I know this darkness, this sifting, this spiritual battle of the soul between Satan and Christ. 2Cr 4:11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. The first resurrection raises the JUST (Jesus Christ in us) and the UNJUST (spirit of antichrist) and brings both to life in us to do spiritual warfare within the inner Kingdom. The second death is the destruction of the antichrist, by Christ in us.......the spiritual battle in high places. 2Cr 5:4 For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Unclothed means we don't want to be spirits without soul and bodies, but we want to be clothed upon with the "body of Jesus Christ”(hence, PUT ON the Lord Jesus Christ), so that our mortality might be swallowed up in LIFE. THE LORD COMES SUDDENLY and without warning at an hour we think not. Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Our heart is that temple, the house that is left desolate, which is why it is written we will not see him till we say “blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”, but first the abomination of desolation is revealed: The desolate house is our heart: Hence Jesus said, the heart is wicked above all things: He also said, your house will be left to you desolate. People who think this is not a real experience have a thing coming to them that they have no clue about. Who will abide this day his coming? Who shall stand when he appears? He is like a refiners fire and like fullers soap: Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: In this refining, this fiery trial of our faith, we become a Holy and Royal (Judah-kings) Priesthood (Levi-Aaron): Mal 3:3 And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Mal 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in [his] wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. That is why it is pure religion and undefiled is to visit the widows (souls who are no longer married to antichrist) and fatherless (souls who brought forth Christ, and like Melchizedek (King of Righteousness) has no mother or father but God). Mal 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Mal 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept [them]. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. Psa 6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return [and] be ashamed suddenly. Pro 6:15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. Isa 29:5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. Isa 30:13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. Isa 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, [which] thou shalt not know. When the mockers and scorners see this as I have and experienced this as I have, their mocking and scorning will cease suddenly: Isa 48:3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass. Jer 4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in a moment. Jer 6:26 O daughter of my people, gird [thee] with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, [as for] an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. Jer 15:8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city. Jer 18:22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. Jer 49:19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him 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? Jer 50:44 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? Jer 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Mar 9:8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. Mar 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Luk 9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him. Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Act 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: Act 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. Act 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. If there is one thing I don't understand after almost 16 years this month of having endured the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, is why me? I am nobody: If Jesus had returned to Billy Graham or to Joyce Myers or the Pope, there would have been some actual consideration of this fact by others, but to me? Yet, it happened and I know it did without a shadow of a doubt: I am not waiting for anything, especially Jesus Christ to come: I am not waiting for more wisdom, understanding or even knowledge: The only thing I am still lacking is walking out my existence of this "animal skin" and thats it: I will do exactly that since it is written, he who is dead will be raised on the last day, but he who is alive, shall never die: I am alive in Christ and dead in Christ. I was dead in the first Adam, was made alive by Christ in me, the first resurrection, followed by the second death, the cross, follwed by the better resurrection, my soul and Christ together as “One Body”. The second death continues till our whole body of sin has submitted to the “new will”, new Man” in Christ. As each desire (sheep) is submitted, yielded to Christ, he marries that desire to himself and this is the sanctification of the woman in the wilderness, the death of the “body of sin” (Paul said I die daily for that reason). I accept that I have been engrafted with the Word for no apparent reason but my own salvation, and I accept that I have the "faith of the Son of God" who finishes what he began in me when he authored my faith, and I accept the mysteries of the Kingdom are revealed in me, and that I have UNION with the Spirit of the Lord, thereby liberty, freedom: What has been difficult to accept for some reason is why me, when I have so little influence to help others go forward in their own walk of faith. The idea that "greater things than these shall ye do", is something I have not experienced unless it means that I a sinner have overcome the world through him, the Lamb of God who overcomes the SIN of the world. I will never see Jesus as a sinner as some that I have encountered over the past 17 years believe. I will never see Jesus as a mere mortal man since he didn’t have an earthly father. I no longer hold Jesus as an “idol” that I worshipped for 26 years. I will never see Jesus as a man who became Christ, but as Christ who is formed into Man in and through his creation. “Knowing Jesus” is to know the “new man" in me. The desire of some to see Jesus as their old sinning man, are stuck with the old man and have not yet experienced the "new man” the righteous Man, the tzaddik, in the image and likeness of God: The spirit of men know the deep things of men, but only the Spirit of God knows the deep things of God. Jesus only has the Spirit of God, not the spirit of Satan within him. Eye has not seen nor ear heard that New Song. A lot of people have heard the songs of the deep things of men, but only the ones in heaven know the song of Moses and have the testimony/witness of the Lamb. I am as he is in the world; this is also difficult since the world hated him and Jesus told us the world would hate us as well. What good is this hate in accomplishing his Will? I don't want anyone to understand me humanly and support me in doing this like some kind of person who is striving for the Olympics, and are told to go for the gold: I want others to SEE and HEAR the WORD of God in me and if they don't see or hear it, all the support on the one hand and all the ridicule or mocking on the other, don't matter: its not about me, it is always about the Lord.....who is the only life I know. If others don't see this, their acceptance or effort to see me as "nice" or worthy or unworthy, just doesn’t matter: I know what I am without God: I have seen the deep things of man and Satan and I have seen the deep things of God: God alone is worthy. If God is rejected, in me or outside of me, same result to me. Day 86 One of the posts I wrote on my forum about a year ago titled, do you "know" Jesus? Mat 7:15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Sheep’s clothing are covers that look like "desires for God” but inwardly, they are wolves, desires for the sheep. Wolves don't really desire God's will, but they do desire to desire it: Benjamin (son of Jacob's right hand) would ravin like a wolf for that reason, because he would desire to know God, but yet, he actually couldn't stop himself from killing the sheep, which are desires for God: Saul from the tribe of Benjamin in both the prior name of the apostle Paul and King Saul who was chosen by men to be the anointed King of Israel, vs. the King God chose which was David from the house of Judah: We see this played out all the way to the New Testament even with the same name from the house of Benjamin. Saul was apprended by the true Jesus whom he did not 'know". Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. The good fruit comes from the first fruits Christ in us. Since Christ must be the first fruits of every creature (before an animal soul is recreated in and through Christ), the fruits of the Spirit are his fruits in us. Before I experienced the anointing I thought I could manufacture the fruits of the spirit with my own nature, but I felt like I had to staple, sew, and paste them on to the tree to have them. They didn't naturally grow from the corrupt tree I was before the time of my anointing. It is written, if one has not Christ he is none of his. Yet it is written every eye shall see him, so in due time, at the appointed time, the Saul in us from the tribe of Benjamin who is destined to bring the gospel to the gentile part of us, will be apprehended by Jesus as Saul was to become Paul (little, new man in Christ). I already discussed Judah in the last days according to Genesis 49, but here is what Jacob prophesied about Benjamin for a witness of why I believe the way I do besides my own experience. Gen 49:1 ¶ And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last days. Gen 49:2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. Gen 49:27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. Gen 49:28 ¶ All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. The prey is Christ whom he does indeed devour during his "morning” and he brings this spoil to the gentile part, to the nations during their night. The word "divide" is chalaq, which means to share, to allot, apportion, assign, distribute, scatter, also be smooth, and receive a portion or part. The word ravin is taraph, to tear, to pluck, to rend, to be torn in pieces, catch, feed, pluck off, and be fresh. Back to Mathew and the words of Jesus: Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Mat 7:19 every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. For me, this is the experience of the Baptism by fire of the old man who is the corrupt tree that brings forth the evil fruit in us. Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. It is important to remember that we are not to judge other trees, but our own tree if we are able to judge with righteous judgment, which was also not given to me till I received the anointing, Christ in me. One must first be a good tree to discern the manner of spirit someone else is of. Jesus said take the beam out of your own eye so he can see clearly and then you can help your brother. Jesus also told Peter, when you are converted then you will be able to help your brothers. Did Peter know Jesus? No he did not. He even admitted as much when he was accused of being with him after they took Jesus to judge him. Peter said plainly "I don't know the man". Earlier Peter was given the "revelation of Christ" and Jesus said it was given to him from the Father in heaven, so Peter was able to discern Christ the light and life of man, but he didn't "know Jesus", the Man God made him-self to be in order to save all those who died in the "first Adam". This revelation would come with the baptism by fire, Peter's own crucifixion with Christ as Paul was crucified with Christ to "know Jesus". Just like with my own revelation of Christ, not too many days hence (less than two years) it was time to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, God's all consuming fire. Jesus told Peter, Satan has asked to have you to sift you as wheat and this is what happens to all who have Christ in them, have Christ revealed in them. Satan knows his time is short after this and he wants to keep the soul from being saved, and wants to keep the will from being transformed by being crucified with Christ to become "one will-one Spirit" with Christ, because this plucks up the evil side of the root, Satan in us, antichrist in us. Mat 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but {{{{he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven}}}}}. Who does the Father's will in us? Only his Son who came to do that will O God. Christ in us is the good will in us which is able to do the Father's will in us. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Wait, what does Jesus mean, work iniquity? Yes, any works that God does not do in us through Christ in us, are vain works, even if they appear to be good. There is none good but "one" and if "ONE is not one with the one true Spirit" they are still in union or joined to the spirit of antichrist or Satan. If we are still of our father the devil and not yet baptized into Jesus name, our father in heaven is not yet the Father whose heart we 'know' or heed. Mat 7:24 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: The house has to be built on the rock which is Christ and not on ones own foundation, because Christ is the only foundation God will ever lay for his house to be built upon. Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. To be founded on Christ, one must have this foundation stone the "carnal builder in us rejected) laid down first in order to be part of the "living stones' built up unto the house of God. Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Mat 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: I believe people will always be astonished at Jesus doctrine because the truth destroys all lies with the soul and the carnal mind that is at war within the soul as Esau (hunter of the field, the world) and Jacob (supplanted Esau, heel catcher who catches the end of Esau and supplants him in us). These two were at war and will always be at enmity till the spirit within the soul experiences the cross, the baptism by fire to make out of twain, one new man, and his name is Jesus. Mat 7:29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes. The blood of the Lamb (Holy Spirit that runs through the pure Will of God) takes away the SIN of the world: Not sins only but the root Sin of the world, the antichrist spirit that rules the whole world. Christ's blood is not physical blood. It is real because the Holy Spirit is more real than any physical blood. It is written, the things seen are temporal but the things not seen are eternal. I once thought Jesus blood was like our blood, but that was before I understood that physical blood is not the real or literal meaning of life. The spiritual is literal......the spirit is real, and the physical is a shadow of the real of the real just as the Old Covenant is the shadow of the New Covenant. The law is the same in both, but the old covenant is the law understood with the carnal mind, hence carnal ordinances, and the New Covenant is the spiritual law understood with the "spiritual mind", the "mind of Christ" given to us to save us. If one understands the New Covenant with the old mind and old heart, it is still not the New Covenant because the New Testament is written in the heart and mind to make them "brand new", a new man and new creation where old things are passed away and everything is new. ICr 10:16 {The cup of blessing which we bless}, {{{is it not the communion of the blood of Christ}}}? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? Do we drink physical blood? Do we eat Jesus physical body? Yet Jesus said if we don't eat his flesh and drink his blood, we can have no part with him, but was he talking physically as far as you are concerned? I know Jesus meant what he said, and it was no lie, which is why I am grateful to know I drink and eat........his body and blood and why I know the "blood of Christ' takes away the SIN of the world. Yet Jesus Christ's blood is spiritual and not carnal. Hbr 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 1Pe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1Jo 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Jesus said, John 6:63 It is ((((the spirit that quickeneth)))); the flesh profiteth nothing: ((((the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life)))))) 1Ti 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. Jhn 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, (((save he which is of God)))), he hath seen the Father. Jhn 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Jhn 6:48 I am that bread of life. Jhn 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. Jhn 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. Jhn 6:51 (((((I am the living bread which came down from heaven))))): if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and (((((the bread that I will give is my flesh)))))), which ((((I will give for the life of the world)))). Jhn 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat? Jhn 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, (((((Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you)))))). Jhn 6:54 ((((Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood))))), hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Jhn 6:55 ((((For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed))))). Jhn 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, (((((dwelleth in me, and I in him)))))))). Jesus is in you if you have eaten his flesh and drank his blood. Do you remember physically his flesh and blood? then how did he get in you? Jhn 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that ((((eateth me, even he shall live by me)))). Jhn 6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. (Kaphar-cover-atonement-and naum-comforter). Jesus taught these things for those who have experienced their "atonement and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth that leads into all truth). Jhn 6:60 ¶ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard [this], said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? Jhn 6:61 When Jesus knew in him-self that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? (Offend is another word for "stumble") Jhn 6:62 [What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? Jhn 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: ((((((the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life)))))))). If there is any doubt that the Words of Jesus are Spirit and not carnal, then it should be done away with here, yet many who have read this post of mine that I wrote years ago, said I over-spiritualize the Bible". How do you over spiritualize something that is spiritual? Jhn 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. Jesus knew the heart that produced the carnal mind and the old man in everyone and he knew it would betray him, because we are all the same in this respect. We all need the Savior and none of our old nature is able to save itself. Jhn 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, ((((except it were given unto him of my Father))))). Jhn 6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Till a disciple is like his Master, till it too is given to them to come unto Jesus, they will stop walking with him sooner or later from the carnal position. Jhn 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Jhn 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? (((((thou hast the words of eternal life)))))). Jhn 6:69 And we believe and ((((((are sure)))))))) that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jhn 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I (chosen-elected) you twelve and one of you is a devil? Jhn 6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot [the son] of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. Israel as a whole is the woman Jesus is born through because of the union between Ephraim and Judah at Jesus birth. The LORD said he would make one stick/tribe out of Ephraim and Judah in the LORDS hand. Yet the very tribe Jesus comes through by birth (King of the Jews) is the very tribe that is elected to give him up to the "high priest” (Aarons tribe) so the atonement can be given to Israel. Judah is elected to experience both Messiah being born and Satan's entrance to betray that very same Messiah. Here we see the union between Judah and Simon (heard) who also are joined at the coming of Messiah as all Israel will be joined as "one man" in whom the spirit of prophecy will build that house into One New Man. Day 87 Making one’s election sure: “Let us” make Man in “our” image and likeness, God says to his creation in Gen 1:26 God is not talking to angels or Jesus, but to the creation that he already spoke into existence by saying "LET THERE BE" in Gen 1:1-25 Once he SPOKE creation into existence, he spoke to them and said "LET US" (creator and creation) make Man. So man would be in the image and likeness of “creator and creation”. First God would prepare the body for his Spirit to come through, be begotten through. He called out a soul named Abram from Ur (light-flame) of the Chaldees (clod breakers) and the Word tells us this "friend of God due to his faith that was counted to him as righteousness would become the 'Father of many nations". His descendants would be as the stars of heaven (Israel) and the sands of the sea (gentiles). God would make out of these two, Israel and gentile, one people for his name. First God prepared the body for him to come through and this would be Jacob/Israel. It would be narrowed to Judah where God would manifest in their flesh, the flesh of David to make the Man in Gods image and likeness. Here was promised the “good will of God” that would bring peace on earth, Jesus Christ the King/WILL of Glory: Act 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. Act 2:25 For (((((David speaketh concerning him))), I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Act 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also ((((my flesh))))) shall rest in hope: Act 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave (((((my soul)))) in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine (((((Holy One))))) to see corruption. Act 2:28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. Act 2:29 Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of ((((the patriarch David))))), that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Act 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of (((((the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh)))))), (((he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne))))); Act 2:31 He seeing this before spake of ((((the resurrection of Christ)))), that ((((his soul)))) (David’s soul) was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. Act 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof (((((we all are witnesses)))). I too am a witness of Jesus, (Rev 19:10) which means I have the testimony of Jesus which is the "Spirit of prophecy" poured out on my flesh. Act 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which (((((((ye now see and hear)))))))). Act 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto ((((my Lord))))), Sit thou on my right hand, The LORD said unto David's Lord (Christ)..... Act 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. This continues to happen to David in every generation......all generations shall call Mary (virgin of David/Judah) Blessed, not just that generation written about: Act 2:36 Therefore let [[[[[all the house of Israel know assuredly]]]]]], that God hath made (((((that same Jesus))))), whom ye have crucified, ((((both Lord and Christ))))). Act 2:37 Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we do? Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, ((((Repent, return to God-which is what repentance means, and be baptized every one of you “in the name” of Jesus Christ))))))) for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive ((((the gift of the Holy Ghost)))). Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and ((((to all that are afar off)))))))), [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call. Act 2:40 ¶ And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, ((((Save yourselves from this untoward generation)))))). Act 2:41 Then they that gladly (((((received his word))))) were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls. Act 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the (((((apostles' doctrine)))))) and fellowship, and in ((((breaking of bread))))), and in prayers. Nowhere does it say in debate and accusations against those who claim to the same promise. Act 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. Act 2:44 And ((((all that believed were together, and had all things common))))); Act 2:45 And (((((sold their possessions and goods)))))), and parted them to all [men], as (((((every man had need)))). I still haven't seen that kind of Pentecost to this day in the churches I went to or watch on TV. None of them ever discuss how they made their ELECTION sure. Act 2:46 And they, continuing (((((daily)))) with ((((one accord)))) in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and ((((singleness of heart)))), Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord ((((((added to the church daily)))) such as should be saved. Day 88 Doing the WILL of God the FATHER and Overcoming Luk 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luk 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Mat 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him]. Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. A story to illustrate the meaning of “doing the will of the Father”: Mat 21:28 ¶ But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. Mat 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. Mat 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not. Mat 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of [his] father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans (renters, tax collectors-telenos) and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. The word telenos is from two words, tele-the end and oneomai-to buy. Here is the hidden meaning. These renters didn’t own the land they taxed, but they rented it till the “end” came when they would be allowed to buy it. Here we are looking at Israel who is exiled among the nations and the carnal mind (harlot) at enmity with God and his mind. Jesus explains he too is born in the likeness of sinful flesh because David King of Israel is his flesh. So he is part creation and part creator, so he adds in John Jhn 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. Jhn 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Jesus name is in the father’s name: YaHsHuWaH =salvation of YHVH. The SH or "shin" is in the YHVH. The shin is the threefold flame that comes out of a single point: Jhn 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. Jhn 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Mat 10:32 whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Jhn 12:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again. Jhn 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Jhn 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Jhn 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Jhn 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: Jhn 16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. Jhn 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give [it] you. Jhn 16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: Jhn 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 2Cr 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Gal 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: Hbr 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Overcome-Nikao-(from nike-victory) 1) to conquer a) to carry off the victory, come off victorious 1) of Christ, victorious over all His foes 2) of Christians, that hold fast their faith even unto death against the power of their foes, and temptations and persecutions 3) when one is arraigned or goes to law, to win the case, maintain one's cause 1Jo 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. 1Jo 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Rev 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to Eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]. Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name. Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Day 89 If anyone really reads what I write, I think it becomes self evident that God is trying to show three things in my witness. 1) The scriptures are the written Part of what the spirit will reveal in every soul in due time, and religion is not what man thinks it is, but pure religion is to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction (tribulation). I explained widows are Israel the woman, in whom the old man is crucified, but they have not yet married Jesus Christ. Fatherless are bastards who don't know they are prodigal sons of God whose hearts are not yet turned towards the father and the Father's heart is not yet turned towards his sons. Fatherless are also the “Man-child” who is both Christ and the Father revealed in flesh, so he is fatherless. Either way it fits. 2) God is doing his thing, sending his Word when he speaks through his prophets: The fact that nobody listens or heeds to the message doesn't mean the Word will come back void: A prophet must confess for his own salvation and warn others that "this is how God comes" because the "apostle and prophet" are the first two stages in any Church/election: There is no church without apostles or prophets, just a bunch of people giving their opinion of what the Word means: 3) I explain very plainly what the Bible is saying in terms of workmanship of the Spirit (will) and what it is meant to do to and for the soul (desire of the heart and mind), but each man in his own order will have it revealed and is made alive in the Last Adam, Jesus Christ. If others don't see the plain speech in the oracle of God, it is because they don't have ears to hear it or eyes to see it yet. This is not a condemnation of that soul but a truth even Jesus acknowledged when he said ‘he who has ears, let him hear”. The mocking I get from Christians is their Saul being revealed, their antichrist being revealed because it is written "he must be revealed" before Christ will destroy him in that soul: No soul can say they "KNOW" Christ, (have union with) Christ, till the antichrist is done away with, because it is the antichrist that is joined to Christ to make out of twain (the old and new man) "one new man". Only the “new man” is in the image, express image to be exact and likeness of God himself..... and this “New man” is our spirit joined to Jesus Christ in the soul/his church, his body: This is true Christianity (Christ "in" us) and the nations gathering themselves together against God and his anointed won't stop the truth from doing what it is purposed to do: It is written, God shall break them in pieces........and I vouch that this is the truth because he did it to me: God is no respector of persons. I sum it up by giving my witness (experience) of Jesus Christ in me, both seeing him, bowing the knee to him and confessing with my tongue that he is LORD and Savior of my soul. If I didn't confess the truth as I experienced it, God would not hold me guiltless: A prophet must confess only what he sees and hears, even if the whole world hates him, and it is written, the world will hate him. The world is made up of people who do not know Jesus but some do claim to know Jesus but do not 'know" him, do not have "union" with him, and Jesus also warned about this. If the "body of Jesus" is his Church, then all people who have Jesus Christ as their "good will” revealed and brought forth through their soul to both will and do of God's pleasure are baptized into the name of Jesus. I don't understand how one can do the will of God without the "good will of God" coming through their soul. If there is no Word engrafted in the soul, how can the heart speak anything good from its abundance? It is the "Spirit of the Word" that is able to save the soul. The letter alone will only kill (antichrist and carnal mind). Every soul who has become part of the WORD, is added onto the body of the LORD daily, and this Jesus will be all people in due time, who know him are joined to the Spirit of God who resides in this "man" named Jesus. Those of us who are part of his body are baptized into his name. It is also written what men esteem highly is an abomination to God, because men like Satan look to the outside and what men think and not what God thinks, because that is one thing a soul without Christ does not know.....what God thinks: It is written God's thoughts are higher from men's thoughts as heaven is higher than the earth. It is also written, do not lean upon your own understanding but in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths. God visits us through his "only Son" his only "good will to man" that will bring peace on earth. It is written, the Son knows (has union with) the Father and will reveal him to us and whosoever knows the Son (has union with the Son) will know (have union with) the Father also. Only 'knowledge-union-da'ath-gnosis" of God will enable the soul to submit to his righteousness in the fullness of time (end of time for that soul, its last generation) because that soul will know (have union with) the truth and the truth will set that soul free. Day 90 The “Mind of Christ” and the “Witness of Jesus” (seeing and hearing the Truth. Over the past 18 years I have written thousands if not tens of thousands of pages about my witness of Jesus. Much of it was on hard-copy and books I published myself, but much of it was on the internet where I have been persecuted for my witness of Jesus more than I ever imagined I could be before I received my witness, my atonement, my anointing. Since I know from experience where all these mockers are coming from since I too did not understand anointed from inspired, I can say with absolute surety that not all have the mind of Christ: It must be given and received at the appointed hour: No one can say Saul had that mind till Saul was apprehended by Jesus and given this mind of Christ, but that didn't automatically renew his mind which also is the WORK of God in the New Testament. There is no new covenant without a "Good will" (new Spirit) and a clean heart, or new heart/pure heart: Only these two enable a soul to renew their old mind with the mind of Christ given to bring the whole soul into perfect obedience, spirit, heart+mind=Soul and body=Church. The mind of Christ must be "GIVEN" by God, because it is the mind that explains all things (wisdom, understanding and knowledge of God)) to the soul. It is the Man-child that shall lead the soul into salvation: A child shall lead them: Without the mind of Christ, there is no development or salvation of the Soul, but only a return of the old mind (harlot) to the root so the spirit and carnal mind (animal soul) can be severed, separated Hebrews 6: Since the carnal mind can not receive the things of God and they are foolishness to the natural man, anyone who claims to have the “mind of Chrsit” knows all things, even though they are not yet able to "DO" them. Action takes another level of "submission" of the soul (heart+mind) just as the will/spirit had to be JOINED to become one will, one Spirit with Christ as well: Anyone who does not have the mind of Christ, doesn't know the Kingdom of God because they can't even see it, or enter. If someone has not brought forth the "man-child" the new and good will of God in and through them, I know from personal experience with the "word" that it is not revealed to them from the Father who must reveal Christ, give Christ to us before we can even be sifted by Satan so he can be overcome in us: Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast {{{revealed them unto babes}}}}. Mat 21:16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, {{{{Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise}}}}? Judah means "praise of God" and to become a Jew one must have the "mind of Christ' because this is the "key of David" given to OPEN what none can open and shut what none can shut: The mind of Christ is given, which alone will overcome the spirit of antichrist in us, and sanctify our soul and renew our mind. Without the mind of Christ, there is no new will (ratzon in Hebrew and thelema in Greek). The “new will” leads the soul as the man or child. Without the new will of God in us there is nothing to transform anything in us but our own hopeful wishes and vain imagination of what we think we can do to become "righteous" instead of having the righteousness of God imparted to us. The imputed righteousness is the GRACE and TRUTH that comes with Jesus Christ to our soul. Only by receiving the "mind of Christ" given to each man at his appointed "hour" or lot foreordained from the foundation of the world, enables us to become one mind with his mind: Rom 15:6 That {{{ye may with one mind}}}}} [and] one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Cr 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by {{{the name of our Lord Jesus Christ}}}}, that {{{{{ye all speak the same thing}}}}}, and [that] there be {{{{{no divisions among you}}}}}; but [that] {{{{ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment}}}}. It is impossible with man to be of one mind, even in the 'Church' if the "mind of Christ" is not yet given to make them all one. Those who have the mind of Christ are able to be of one mind.......his mind, but these are also of the same judgment, because when we receive the "mind of Christ", judgment comes to the house of God (Israel), our heart: If we do not understand judgment, we don't have the "mind of Christ" to agree with and become one with. 2 Cr 2:16 For {{{{who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him?}}} But {{{{we have the mind of Christ.}}}} Who are the "we"? Those who are in the “New Covenant” and these have fulfilled the law and prophets which only the “mind of Christ” is able to fulfill since Christ is the fulfillment of the law. Without the mind of Christ, Judah is still under the schoolmaster, the Law is under his feet and not in his heart. Judah is the "praise of God' when he has kept his solemn feast so the enemy can no more pass through them. Till the Jew in us is circumcised, the law is still under the feet and not in the heart. So unless we are not meant to be a Jew or Israel, but gentile only, we are not of the elect and we are only saved by faith and grace. If this is true, then there should be no boasting above Israel which is still hidden within the gentile nature of that soul. The gentiles will receive the light and the "King of Israel and the Jews" when Jesus visits Israel through Judah, the Jew of that soul. If we are in the New Covenant, we must have received the “mind of Christ”: There is no way all things can be new without that mind in us. God authors our faith while we are yet sinners, yet gentiles, but in the fullness of time, God speaks to us through his Son, the express image of his person. Here we receive the "faith of the Son of God" the faith after the first faith. We receive the "finishing of our faith". Phl 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that {{{{ye stand fast in one spirit}}}}, with {{{{{one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel}}}}; Without being in the New Covenant/Testimony, witness of Jesus, there is no "one Spirit" because only the Spirit of Christ, (his mind) can bring us liberty/freedom and he who is "joined to the LORD is one Spirit. The old spirit is done away with through the cross. One who is not yet joined to Christ is still waiting for the Lord to come and that includes a lot of people from my observation of Christians, both on TV and in Churches and on the internet. The mind of Christ is the only thing that is able to overcome the "spirit of the world, the antichrist spirit, the man of sin, the son of perdition". Without the antichrist revealed, Christ will not rid us of him; hence Christ comes to destroy the devil and his works. It is written Christ destroys him with the brightness of his coming and the truth of his appearing. If one has not experienced this, they do not yet understand the power of the "mind of Christ" and his work in the soul, his body, the Church. 1Pe 1:13 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}}}}; Grace is brought to us at the “revelation of Jesus Christ” and without this revelation, we don't really have the grace we think we have, because it is poured out on Judah first in us, Zechariah 12 (to the Jew first and then the Greek), also foretold in Revelation 7 at the “gathering of Israel”. Through the visitation of Israel in us, the engrafted gentile branches receive the same resurrection from the dead Romans 11. Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. Luk 10:23 And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, {{{{Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see}}}}: Some eyes are not SINGLE and do not see this TRUTH yet, but it is written, all eyes shall see him, because God is no respecter of persons. What he does for one he will do for all, each man in his own order, so be ready always, for you don't know when your hour will come suddenly upon you as it did on me on Yom Kippur (atonement day) of 1992. Luk 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things {{{{{which ye see}}}}}}, and have not seen [them]; and to hear those things {{{{{which ye hear}}}}}}, and have not heard [them]. God is the same yesterday, today and forever and so is Jesus Christ, so if "some" hear and see, they are witnesses of Jesus: if nobody has yet received the mind of Christ, the scriptures would not be written or revealed to anyone: Jews might agree that Messiah is not revealed yet, since they say if Messiah had truly come, everything would be different, but I say we can only speak of what we have seen and heard and once we do, why should we be ashamed of the gospel (good news) of Christ. People who want me to recant my witness want me to be ashamed that I had the gospel “revealed” to me instead of just preached to my carnal mind. : What is the good news but that we have seen, become a witness of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy poured out on all flesh in the last days of the soul, the last generation of the soul: Speaking of things one has not seen nor heard just makes them tellers of fables, speaking of things they have not yet seen or heard themselves, but only that which others have seen and heard (like the apostles in the Bible). It is written the letter alone kills so reading the letter with the carnal mind is a ministration of death. Only the Spirit gives life. It is written in the Church, first apostles, showing that till one has "seen and heard" they are not an apostle, one set apart, sent to bring the GOSPEL or Good news of the Kingdom to the four corners of the earth): It is appropriate to confess that they believe those who do witness to have seen and heard them, and that is another matter: It is not appropriate to claim to have seen and heard if one has not yet in fact seen nor heard the Lord: So those who claim that they have not, are telling the truth, but they are also disbelieving that anyone has seen or heard when they call these liars. When one calls a true witness a liar he is calling Jesus a liar since it is Jesus in that one who is speaking the Spirit of the Word through that witness. To deny that you have seen Jesus when you have is also a lie, and Jesus spoke of them when he said if he denied what he was and knew, he would be a liar like those who accused him: {{{{{Act 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.}}}}}}}}} Now truth comes by hearing and hearing comes by the WORD of God, so we are "told the truth" but still, we must see (all eyes) and hear it to have a true witness of Jesus Christ in us: Luk 2:20 And the shepherds returned, (repented) glorifying and praising God for all the things that (((((they had heard and seen))))), [[[[[as it was told unto them]]]]]]. Luk 7:22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things {{{{{ye have seen and heard}}}}}}}}}; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. Jhn 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. Jhn 3:32 And what {{{{{he hath seen and heard}}}}, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. No man receives the testimony of someone who has seen and heard.......so my experience is no more unusual than it was in Jesus day. Yet those who DO hear me, what can be said of them? Jhn 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath {{{set to his seal}}} that [[[[God is true]]]]]. Jhn 3:34 For {{{{he whom God hath sent}}}}} [[[[[[speaketh the words of God]]]]]: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him]. Jhn 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son {{{{shall not see life}}}}; but [[[[the wrath of God abideth on him]]]]. So those who claim they don't have the mind of Christ, neither seen or heard it, don't have life yet and the wrath of God abides on them to this day and yet many want to preach to others, even if they were not "sent" to do so by God. Jhn 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. Isa 64:4 For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. The New Testament is what eye has not seen or ear heard, and yet many claim to have seen and heard it. Yet the ones who claim to be in the New Covenant, New Testament, will not claim to being a witness of Jesus. Now many claim they “have” a witness of Jesus is not the same thing as “being a witness of Jesus. Having a witness of Jesus means you “tell others what you believe about Jesus”. Being a witness of Jesus means you have “seen Jesus”, and that means the spirit of prophecy is poured out on all your flesh and you have seen the "vision" without which the people perish and the sons and daughters prophesy which is what builds the house of God, the whole house of Israel into “one man” within the soul. Isa 66:8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon {{{{as Zion travailed}}}}, she brought forth her children. Zion is New Jerusalem our mother above and she brings forth as a whole her sons, and it is Jesus Christ who comes the second time to both judge and chasten to bring many sons to glory: Act 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. Act 22:7 And {{{{I fell unto the ground}}}}}, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Act 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. Act 22:9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but {{{{they heard not the voice}}}}} of him that spake to me. Act 22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus (silence of the sackcloth weaver); and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. Act 22:11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus. Act 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt [there], Act 22:13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. Act 22:14 And he said, {{{{{The God of our fathers hath chosen thee}}}}, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. Act 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. Act 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Act 22:17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; Paul too had this vision without which the people perish but this is not in sleep, but in a trance that God gives this vision in and what is this vision? It is pictures of the Word and images of the Word that give the spiritual witness of the Letter that kills the carnal mind and evil spirit in us. Act 22:18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 1Cr 2:9 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. Phl 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 1Jo 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; I Jo 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. Rev 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Rev 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Rev 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. Rev 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. All parts are separated in us and the righteousness of God is Jesus Christ in us, and he is the Holy root in the part of us that is David (beloved) from the house of Judah in us, who will overcome all that is not so in us: Rev 22:12 ¶ And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Rev 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Rev 22:15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the bright and morning star. Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Rev 22:18 ¶ For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book. Rev 22:20 ¶ He who testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Rev 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. The reason that the end times (of this world, the spirit of this world) will become so difficult, is that knowledge will increase but that doesn't mean knowledge (union with) and of God alone: also knowledge of all manner of reality and those who do not become elect (taken out of this world in spirit) will not understand how to decipher all the information that will be everywhere displayed about God, Jesus Christ and religious teachings: (they won't know how to interpret spiritual truth because they won’t have the spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit), but will try to prove everything with their carnal mind. The carnal mind can only believe what it sees carnally, or perceives with the "five senses". Spiritual reasoning will also be on the increase as more and more souls are visited by God and bring forth the "First-fruits" of their soul, Jesus Christ in them, but till they do, they will hold on to the perceived reality they have achieved from growing psychologically, from the human perspective. Our human perspective is all we have to cling to what we understand or we would loose our sense of reality completely: Christ was revealed the first time “to” a soul when he was revealed to Abraham and the first time “in” a soul 2000 years ago when he revealed himself to a handful of men, but these became the writers of the scriptures because the holy spirit prompted them what to reveal what they saw and heard. What is not so easy to grasp, even by Christians, is that these men were not talking about things that happened outside of themselves, but within their own soul, revealed by God to them at their appointed hour: Since then the witness spread through "belief" but it also spread through experience with the Holy Spirit which includes persecution, and revelation. The “revelation-Apocalypse of Jesus Christ was minimal the first 6000 years, and even the past 2000 years while the "teachings about the revelation” became the "standard" of Christianity: Teachings "about" those who had revelation is still the norm, but more and more souls will have revelation and no longer need to be taught by any man, for it is written "all shall know (have union with) him from the least to the greatest when the “glory of the knowledge of the LORD shall fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. Till this revelation is fulfilled in all souls however, there will be an increasing number of those who have revelation and those who have not yet had Jesus Christ revealed: Those who do not have Jesus revealed, will persecute those who do have him revealed and it has always been like this: Christianity persecuted its own who had Jesus Christ revealed and still does so: It is not a strange phenomena except to the soul who has Jesus Christ revealed and can't believe the fallout for years to come; Yet, this is the warning Jesus gave and it will be true for all those who “come in his name”, those who are baptized into Jesus name. Those who claim to "know" Jesus, but don't, will be astonished when he really does come to be revealed in them, because it was this way and always will be this way. Till all know Jesus (are joined to him) there will be no real peace on earth. Yet when they do “know Jesus” the earth will be at peace, because God’s “good will”- will be in all people who inherit the earth. The peacemakers shall be called “sons of God’ and the meek shall inherit the earth. Day 91 A metaphor or allegory is not a spiritual event describing a physical event, but a physical event describing a spiritual event. The tribulation is a real (spiritual) inner battle between Christ and Satan. The great tribulation tries everyone on earth........which is why I explained for the past 17 years that the saints are going to be on earth, even while their spirit and soul will be in heaven. The Kingdom of heaven is within these and these are within that Kingdom. Physically they will be here as we see with the apostles who went through the rapture (being caught up to Paradise) even while they were "sent" with the good news (gospel) back to the world: The bad part would be if the saints didn't experience the rapture while things get worse and worse on earth: They will have a more difficult time because their spirit and soul are here with their body as well instead of in fellowship with the Father and Son, sitting on his right hand till he makes his enemies his footstool or puts Satan under our feet shortly. My spirit and soul were both lifted up in 1992, when I experienced my harpazo/rapture and it isn't a metaphor, it is REAL as REAL can be: As real as Paul experienced the rapture (being caught up to Paradise), even though he was still here to minister to the gentiles (nations), which is what Benjamin is destined to do in the last days. It is written, Israel will be light for the gentiles because it is Israel who will be lifted up in two ways. One is the “man-child” the woman brings forth is the Joining of “spirits’ (ours and the Lords to make One Spirit); and two, the soul itself is taken to the wilderness by the wings of a great eagle (God in Christ) who bears Israel on eagles wings. Here it is fulfilled that the “eagle gathers where the dead body lies”. Israel are the elect and Israel is within the gentile nature because it has been sifted throughout the gentiles for thousands of years till the end time, their appointed time for having the Kingdom restored unto them when God gathers Israel from the four corners of the earth. If Israel were not sifted among the gentiles, there would be no salvation for the gentiles, because Jesus Christ comes first to the lost sheep of the house of Israel after he is first born through the house of Judah, through David (beloved) the King/will of Israel. Romans 11.....if Israel "fell" for the salvation of the gentiles, what will their gathering be (harvest where Israel is lifted up through Jesus Christ), but for the resurrection from the dead. This is how all Israel is saved and all gentiles inherit the same blessing of Abraham as the commonwealth of Israel without which, they would have no hope in the world: Jesus said if I be lifted up which he was at the cross when he said "into your hands I commit my Spirit”, then I will draw "all men" unto me: When he draws them unto him by being crucified with him, lifted up with him to Paradise after the cross, they are transformed from the old to the new man in Christ and this new man becomes the inner man of the heart. This is not difficult to understand once it happens, but till it happens, it is confusing, which is why it is written the Church is still in Babylon (confusion) elected together… till God calls the Church/elect out of Babylon where he exiled Israel in Jeremiah 27 till the time God himself visits Israel and takes them up to his place. Jesus has to visit Israel first before he can save the gentiles which are grafted into the fallen branches of Israel who are the natural branches of the “tree of life”. The Philadelphia Church (love of the brothers) is the stage of those who will be Jews and these get both the open door and no man can shut it: These have not denied Jesus name and they have kept his Word. Now look, Jesus will also keep them (who are lifted up with him in spirit) from the hour of temptation (tribulation) which shall come upon the entire world to try them who dwell upon the earth, (Only those who are left in the world where the antichrist spirit still rules). They already have the "crown of life", because Christ in them, they are the rider who wears that crown and also carries the bow. In order for no man to be able to take that crown from them, they have to overcome every desire and all knowledge that exalts itself against the knowledge of God which comes with that crown of life. Said another way, the whole body must submit to the leading of the “man-child” or new head to become one with the head. They do this by holding fast to what they have. These also get the “key of David” which opens and shuts and no man does this but God alone is able to do this in the soul. It is written, he who has, more will be given and he who does not have, even what he has, will be taken away. The soul who brings forth Christ receives all that comes with Christ. The carnal mind that is enmity with God does not have anything and even what it does have will be taken away and given to the soul who has Christ within. These have on their ‘head a crown” and are told to overcome and become a pillar in the temple and he shall go out no more: These are the ones in heaven too since they bring heaven to earth, which is what Israel is elected to do. Be a light to the gentiles. The level of Laodicea (people in judgment) is the lower nature of those who have the crown of life just as Paul had that crown but he still had a lower nature, Romans 7. Paul knew it had to be overcome as his "will" (spirit) was already made one with Christ when he "knew the Man" (Jesus) in Paradise: Rev 7:13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? Rev 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.Rev 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. Rev 7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Jesus is not the metaphor for a Lamb but the Lamb is the metaphor for Jesus Christ. Same with humans who are not metaphor for sheep, but sheep are metaphor for human desires that are for Jesus Christ alone. This is really hard to grasp for those “without the Kingdom” because they think I spiritualize away reality when in fact, the Spirit establishes reality through the "knowledge of creation", which is the metaphor for the spirit. Once I saw the spirit, I saw the new nature, true natural way the Spirit works in the earth. Before I saw the spirit, I saw the world........and the world is not reality because it is passing away and everything in it. The world is the temporal part, not the spirit or the earth, which is nature and spirit. God created the heavens and the earth and he renews them both through Jesus Christ in us. The world however will not last..........it will be replaced by Gods Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven once God creates the new heavens within us. The end is different for every soul: Paul showed us that God adds on to the church daily and has been for 2000 years: Many souls have seen their last generation: I am in mine, which is why it is written 14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 from David to Babylon and 14 from Babylon to Christ: The will or King of the woman Israel (David) is formed by the Holy root (Christ) who becomes the "offspring" (Jesus the Man) of David in these levels of generation. When we receive the "key of David" we know we are going into Babylon, which is why it isn't till the "will" is joined to Christ that our heart needs to come out of Babylon/confusion. There is no confusion till we become dually minded creatures: We are not dually minded till we receive the “mind of Christ” which is the “other mind” that our mind needs to become “like”. An earthly creation or human thinks like all humans, so even though they have different "opinions", none of them are necessarily true. The divine soul (nashama) knows the truth and it must overcome all lies within the heart and mind of the creature which has to submit to the “new man” or her husband as unto the Lord. The new heart and mind is brought forth because of the union of the ‘Spirits”, ours with Christ’s Spirit. In the book of Revelation we see the Holy city which is within us as our new heavens or subconscious which is now conscious (sea of glass) come down to earth, which is our outer consciousness or mind. The gates into the city are the 12 tribes, showing that these tribes of Israel within us make the “new man” in Jesus Christ through the “spirit of prophecy” where Israel decreases (From Aaron to Judah) so Jesus Christ in us can increase. The many pearls become one pearl of great price. The Kingdom of heaven must be on earth as it is in heaven. When Israel’s end of days comes and time is no more and the Kingdoms of “this world” become the Kingdom of God and his Christ, it will all happen within our hearts and minds due to the “new and good will” of God leading us in Christ within us. I hear many saying that all things are as they always have been but I realize now it is only said by those who have not yet experienced the new birth, the transformation of the spirit and the rapture and the correction of their soul, which is the combination of their heart and mind. Those who have experienced these things will say all things have become new. The metaphor would be like if a person who isn't born yet into this world, but he could comprehend that he would be in due time, would say, I doubt that people are really born babies into the world: I’m still here and I am still not a human baby yet: It is written that angels seek to look into the meaning and understanding of salvation. In order to be saved an angel has to become human first and then return like the story of the prodigal son tells us. Yet the prodigal son won’t return till he runs out of his life force, and becomes poor in spirit and then, it is his last generation when he “comes to himself and returns (repents) to go back to the Father’s house that he understands salvation. All these things are inner experiences..........or they wouldn't really change anyone. Day 92 Someone wrote that Jesus did not really exist: I was led to give my response to this person. I was a Christian since age 14 and I believed in Jesus like all Christians do, but there was very little I understood about him, hence, I didn't 'know. “Knowledge (gnosis in Greek) is where Gnosticism comes from). Da’ath’ (fiery law) or yada in Hebrew, means "union with" the thing known, as in 'Adam knew Eve, i.e. union, joining together: When one accepts Jesus as their personal Savior, they are given "faith" (emmunah in Hebrew) to believe in him, but they don't realize this for years: Faith is a gift from above, from the higher force known as God, or Love which holds up all creation, because in him we move and breathe and have our being: So faith is authored in us to believe, but belief is not "knowledge", it is assent that something is true and it is experienced from inside so profoundly, that now, faith makes this belief even more real than what one sees outside of them. Hence, this is how God gets us all to evolve, whether it is in the spiritual or natural/scientific realm. First, belief in something greater, (theory) and then "work" to know it, find union with it, and religion is that sense of "knowing" or being joined to something greater than the mundane existence of the natural world that we have little control over. Faith is a spiritual fruit, meaning it isn't just "belief" in something, but it is belief through an "experience" with the belief, hence, the "substance" of things hoped for (God) and the evidence of things not seen (God): Just like love, which we can't see except in our "actions" based on inner feelings towards something, faith is also expressed in actions towards something we can't prove in the world apart from our actions towards the thing we have faith in. The Bible says Jesus is the great stumbling stone, because Jesus stumbles the "mind", since the "mind" can't make sense out of Jesus in the natural sense. The mind has not ‘seen’ Jesus with the natural senses. Yet once faith is given from God to believe in Jesus, all nature seems to take a back seat to this faith in him, but this is orchestrated from above. If we just believed in Jesus with our mind, rather than our faith, we would be considered crazy as someone who believes in a cartoon character or a story character that they read about, even though there is no physical proof for his existence. Faith however raises the "imagination" above the "mundane" or the physical world, which is where the imagination loves to play, and this is called "Vain imagination" in the Bible because we just imagine what we want and hope it becomes real with our effort to make it so, or make it happen. Faith lifts the imagination into unseen realms but the thing that keeps Christian faith grounded is the “Letter of the Word”, the written Word. Here Christians have a way to check themselves against their "wish" about Jesus and the "fact" of what is written about him: Its like believing in Batman or Superman, but your imagination won't let you go beyond what is already written in the Comics, so you don't just make up any ole story about the superhero: By group conscience, you stick to what is written about these characters by the creator of the character: Here is where faith in Jesus grows stronger and becomes more and more of an inner experience. W constantly check against the written Word and our faith leads us to the truth of what is written, rather than veering off in our own imagination of Jesus. When this happens, people bore me to tears: I have met quite a few people in the last years who presume to rewrite the scriptures or twist them to fit the Jesus of their own imagination rather than letting their faith be realized by what is written as truth for thousands of years. Again, this is ludicrous to me: It would be like rewriting "Gone with the Wind" and making the leading characters say and do what you want them to do, rather than what Margret Mitchell wrote them to do and be: It would make discussion of that book simply impossible: Every single person in the group discussion of "Gone with the Wind" would have something else to insist about the story, rather than trying to understand it as it is written. Again, to me, this kind of discussion about Jesus is pointless since he is written about in the Bible, so why talk about him from other sources as more important? Even if Jesus turns out to be different than our vain imagination dictates, he will not become what he never was in written form to us and that is the only reason to stick to the written Word to try to understand this Jesus. Our faith may come from above, but the written Word has been established here and now for anyone to read: If someone can not make peace with the “written Jesus” the answer is not to dismiss him and find a Jesus that does make sense, but rather to come to terms with why it is so difficult, or really impossible to understand this Jesus in the Bible the way he IS: Back to personal witnessing: I believed in Jesus since age 14 when I was given Faith to believe: For 26 years I tried to "know" this Jesus I believed in but it was very difficult to wrap my mind around most things he said and did: Yet, my faith did increase even though it did so very slowly, because my mind was very inquiring and it wanted to "know", have union with what was written and not just believe because it was written: I struggled, but my faith was bigger than all appearances and doubt because I needed this faith to find peace in my life. I became dependant on faith in Jesus, and instead of making me less courageous due to trusting a so called unproven story, I got more and more courageous trusting the story to be true for me. In due time, 1992 to be exact, the faith God authored in me, was going to be finished in me, ready or not. Forty years of age, 26 years of faith in a Jesus I never saw with my physical eyes, but only explained and discussed in the "book" about him, and it was my appointed time to have Jesus revealed "in me", and it is written, "all eyes shall see" and every tongue shall confess and every knee shall bow.....and when we see him it is written, we shall be "like" him: Wow, there is so much to say about this and believe me, I have been saying it for over 17 years. The whole truth about Jesus is that God authors faith in him based on the book prepared about him to understand where this faith comes from and where it will lead us to be in “union” with him, or ‘know him. The Bible is where the witness of Jesus is found and this is what made Christianity spread and grow through those who were given faith to believe. So faith leads to belief which leads to knowledge and knowledge leads to the truth, an inner experience that sets you free of doubt about what is written, and enables the manifestation of all that is written. I wanted to say something about the discrepancies in the Bible because as more and more "knowledge' (gnosis) is increased, less and less people will even seek in a faith that can't be proven literally and this is one of the reason "the last days" become so difficult: Facts will overrule faith due to study of history, archeology and science. Faith will still do what it has always done, which is to overrule facts to the contrary because faith is such a powerful experience, as all inner experiences are. The Bible will offer enough proof for those who have faith to continue to "believe", even if they are increasingly bombarded by the "naysayers" or those who read just to disprove God and or Jesus, since Christianity is the cultural religion of our time. There is a code in the Bible that explains the experience every soul will have but it is written through “names”. It is a new way of looking at the Bible and ask how this code came about. It is not like the book “Bible Codes’ but it is one I discovered when the scriptures were finally opened or revealed in me. I will give a sample of that code through the first four books of the New Testament, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. Mathew (gift of Yah or God) Mark (a defense) Luke (light) John (blessed of Yah or God): Now, read that in order: The gift of Yah or God (which is Jesus Christ) is a defense of light for the blessed of Yah or God. See, the "words" in the Bible have such an order to them, that once you see the Words as the inner experience of the soul instead of the historical story, you will realize the Bible speaks of God in us and with us and not of the God in history alone. If I were to finish the books of the New Testament you would see the message in the order of the books, which was amazing to me when it was revealed to me. To prove what I believe I will list the books in order: The gift of Yah is a defense of light to the blessed of Yah for Acts/acting in Strength/Romans to satiate, fill, (2 parts-I and 2 Cor) the spirit and soul and gentiles (Galatians/Gauls, to allow and permit them forward (Ephesians), to love the brothers (Philippians) and have huge, great big (Colossians) conquests over falsity (I &2 Thessalonians (spirit and soul) because they are doubly dear to God (I &2 Timothy) who nurses them (Titus) and is friendly with a kiss (Philemon) to bring them to the other side (Hebrews) for they are Jacob (the soul) and the heel catcher and supplanting Esau-the carnal mind (James) and they are “pressed between two rocks”, the meaning of Egypt (I & 2 Peter) and they are favored of Yah on all three levels of the temple pattern (I, II, III John) joined to the “praise of Yah” (Jude-Judah) when he reveals in them Jesus Christ (Revelation). The same pattern can be found in joining the books of the Old Testament, Torah and Tanakh. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever: meaning Jesus always comes in the same way as he did to the writers of the Bible. Yes, the Bible was written by those who were led by the Holy Spirit and that is the same as being baptized (dunked and unified) in the name of Jesus and his name means "salvation of Yahweh”. Day 93 I wrote this article on July 3, 2003, over six years ago, and I wanted to include it in this book with some editing. The next few pages will include much older and deeper, meatier articles because they are already written by me and I felt they were relevant to this book. I also will include a portion of this book of my life before my experience of the cross so one can compare the carnal mind and soul in me before my spirit was regenerated by the “coming of the Lord Jesus Christ” to my soul. In the following article on Korach, the Jewish Torah portion for the year, Yanki Tauber talks about a very real situation that I have been discussing for some time now: the upper and lower members, revealed in the second and last letter of Gods name Yod "Hei" Vov "Hei". They are the tenth, fifth, sixth and fifth letters of the Hebrew alphabet and one notices the “hei” (fifth letter) comes up twice in the name of Jehovah. The Letter Hei is discussed here but I wanted to show that since there are two letters in name, the first "Hei" represents spiritual action to me alone, while the last Hei, the lower members that represent "this world", the physical world, is more about bringing the Kingdom of heaven down to earth, or shaking, sifting the earth for “as above, below”. The two “heis’ represent both the mother (virgin) and the daughter of Jerusalem on earth as the mother is in heaven. Without the spiritual work of the holy place, (first Hei), the mind may be defined by ideals of the horizontal and right vertical lines of the "hei" but the ideas are from the dual tree. Instead of black and white, life and death, good and evil, the connected lines are shades of gray, corrupted knowledge, wisdom and understanding. That is why the heavens have to be shaken first and the "Only Son" must be given, at least it was so in my personal experience, before the Word (Son of God that comes forth from his bosom) could rectify the first hei through the coming of the Yod, the right hand of God. We know this right hand is his “only begotten Son”. Once the “yod” (yad=hand) pushed me down to the ground as it did Saul, the first ‘hei” (spirit) was able to be corrected by the coming of Messiah (anointing) within me. Here we see the “YaH” complete as the upper part of God’s name. Now the Son (vov-which is the needle or nail that pierced us (Christ and me) through the singularity, to Olam Haba, (the world to come), it was time to fix the lower members. Here the vov takes from the “Yah” to fix the second Hei, the grace on earth as it is in heaven. The Vov (son of man) who brings union between man and God or their spirits begins to build God’s house in the abyss, the pit or heart of desolation. Here my spirit and soul were separated to reveal this inner desolation. The old spirit (ruach) was severed from the animal soul (nephesh) by the Word that is sharper than any two-edged sword. Here in the holy place the "man of sin" presided in my soul making himself God. This wicked counselor (Nahum 1:11) had to be removed from me and it was. It seems like Korach, Core in the book of Jude, needs to get rectified first, which I thank God my spirit is corrected in heaven within me; I know my Moses (drawn out of the water-Word-Law/Torah). I did struggle with the manifestation and correction of the second hei which is ‘heaven on earth’ or heaven and earth as one place. My animal soul is representative of the left leg of the "hei" (while my right foot is strong). My left leg still limped as Jacob did because I let “the sin that so easily besets me, still beset me” till grace reached the second ‘heir” in 2005. It was not a problem of "knowledge" or even of rebellion against the knowledge; it was a problem of apathy against this world (insincerity of wanting what God wants for the people of the world). I had a difficult time with the people of the world. I lacked love for those who are rebellious. I found it so difficult to love those who don't see the truth no matter how much I tried to reveal it to them. Yes this was a real thorn in my flesh me and I finally accepted that much more grace was needed for my lower members, which is why I had to lean on the “verse” that says "my grace is sufficient and my strength is made perfect in your weakness. The finishing of the second “hei” on earth as it is in heaven finishes YHVH’S name in my soul. The "left leg" of the hei says, there will always be a gap in action, but I thank God my mem (was closed at the coming of Messiah), and the Qoph below the line opened, gathering the holy sparks of my ‘broken vessel’ (of vanity), so they can be rectified through the power of the Ruach Qodesh (holy spirit) who brings down this power to earth as it is in heaven; The Hebrew letters are found in Psalm 119, the longest Psalm in the Bible. Here every section begins with a letter and I will list them and their number and value for reference to what I said above. Alef=1-value of 1: Beth=2-value of 2, Gimel=3-value of 3, Daled=4-value of 4, Hei=5-value of 5, Vov=6-value of 6, Zayin=7-value of 7, Chet=8-value of 8, Teth=9-value of 9, Yod=10-value of 10: Now beginning at Kaph-11-the value changes in tens’ so kaph the 11th letter has a value of 20: Lamed-12-value of 30, Mem-13-value of 40, Nun=14-value of 50, Samech=15-value of 60, Ayin-16-value of 70, Pei=17-value of 80, Tzaddi=18-value of 90, Qoph=19-value of 100. Now we conclude the last four letters by adding values in 100’s, so Reish=20-value of 200, Shin=21-value of 300, Tav=22-value of 400: The final five letters are either dropped or open and are used to show the coming of Messiah, hence the value of final kaph is 500, and 600 is the closed mem, the value of 700 is the final nun, the value of 800 is the dropped Pei, the value of 900 is the dropped Tzaddi and the final letter with the value of 1000 is the alef, the first letter which has two values, 1 and a 1000. Now back to the main purpose of his writing: Korah. Korah—Core’ in the New Testament: In the Old TestamentT we see Korah mentioned 37 times and even before Moses and Sinai, and in Genesis he is a son of Esau: Gen 36:5 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these [are] the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. We know Esau is that part of Jacob that stumbled since they are born twins and Jacob held on to Esau's heel at birth, which is why his name means "heel catcher, supplanter. If anyone is going to rectify that left leg it is the Holy Spirt in Jacob. Messiah fulfills all the law and prophets in Israel so they can be a light for the nations/gentiles. The last generation of the fathers is when God sends the “great deliverer to turn all ungodliness from Jacob, Romans 11. . . Since Korah means "bald" or empty headed, I see him as the left 5 virgins who have no oil and even though we all have to endure baldness, we must be filled with light in order to understand how to walk in the power of the Spirit (Ruach Qodesh). Korah is also defined as: 1) son of Izhar, grandson of Kohath, great grandson of Levi and leader of the rebellion of the Israelites against Moses and Aaron while in the wilderness; punished and died by an earthquake and flames of fire, 2) the 3rd son of Esau by Aholibamah and one of the dukes of Edom, 3) son of Eliphaz by Adah, duke of Edom, and nephew of 1 4) one of the 'sons' of Hebron Eze 27:31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart [and] bitter wailing. Mic 1:16 Make thee bald, and poll (shear sheep, cut off, be destroyed-means shedding our desires) thee for thy delicate (ta'anug=tastes of delight, delicate, luxuries: as in taste the Lord and see that he is good), children (sons); enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee. Who should do this, make themselves bald? Tyre or Tyrus = "a rock"from the root tsor the same thing Peter is called: root= flint, hard pebble, used as a knife, found in these two verses: Eze 3:9 As an adamant harder than flint (tsor) have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house. And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, [saying], What [city is] like Tyrus, destroyed in the midst of the sea? Eze 27:33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. Tsor has a reference word also: tsuwr-1) to bind, besiege, confine, cramp 1) to confine, secure 2) to shut in, besiege 3) to shut up, enclose 2) to show hostility to, be an adversary, treat as foe 3) (Qal) to form, fashion, delineate Egypt means “between two rocks” (one is Christ and the other is the King of Tsur). It is written, I will call my son out of Egypt: One is delivered between the LORD and the adversary; I know it’s all the LORDS doing or he wouldn't always put his sons into Egypt to begin with as well as scatter them throughout all nations till “Korah” stops rebelling against Moses (the law). We notice the devil still contends for the body of Moses to this day as written in Jude, and until Israel is visited (Korah is from Levi), they will remain “dead already” from generation to generation.. Eze 27:33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. Eze 27:34 In the time [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. Eze 27:35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in [their] countenance. Eze 27:36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt be] any more. The beheading of the "man of sin" or he who is in the Holy Place as God, is not the rock one needs to build their house upon. As for "baldness" I want to give this last verse: Eze 29:18 Son of man (adam), Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head [was] made bald, and every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it: Nebuchadnezzar or Nebuchadrezzar = "may Nebo protect the crown" 1) The great king of Babylon who captured Jerusalem and carried Judah captive. Nebo = "prophet" 2) a Babylonian deity who presided over learning and letters; corresponds to Greek Hermes, Latin Mercury, and Egyptian Thoth: Nebo represents the learning of the letters, (understanding with the carnal mind): yet these are only the “form” of godliness and not the power thereof, which is found in the cross, the power of God, but why? The power of the cross is the ‘fire baptism” and it lifts us up above the letter that kills the carnal mind, to the Spirit of the Word that is life to the flesh of the soul. Nebo protects the crown, meaning, no one can find the crown of life unless the door is opened to them. The letter is necessary to understand (bina) what happens at the crown when the Son is revealed. The letter kills the carnal mind to make way for the soul to inherit all the promises made to Abraham and his descendants. Nebo is also: a city in Moab and at one time assigned to Reuben (see ye a son); probably located on or near Mount Nebo 3) a city in Judah (maybe Benjamin) from which the families of some exiles, who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel,(man out of Babylon) originally came. 4) The mountain where Moses died; located east of the Jordan opposite Jericho; site uncertain. I Peter 5:13 tells us “the ELECT are gathered in Babylon” and only God can call them out: Why are they there? Look at the names defined in the following scriptures of Jeremiah 27, which explains Israel will be in Babylon till God visits them. Jer 27:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim ("Jehovah raises up) the son of Josiah ("whom Jehovah heals") king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah ("whom Jehovah has appointed") from the LORD, saying, Jer 27:2 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, (spirit, soul and body) and put them upon thy neck, Jer 27:3 And send them to the king of Edom (Esau-red man, fallen Adam), and to the king of Moab,(of the mothers father) and to the king of the Ammonites (means "tribal" son of Lot-veiled), and to the king of Tyrus, (rock) and to the king of Zidon (to catch a fish), by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah (righteousness of Yah) king of Judah. Jer 27:4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; Jer 27:5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm (I always see the cross in this phrase), and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Jer 27:6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. Jer 27:7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him. Jer 27:8 And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. Jer 27:9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Jer 27:10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish. Jer 27:11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein. Jer 27:12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live. Jer 27:13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? Jer 27:14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. Jer 27:15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. Jer 27:16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you. Jer 27:17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste? Jer 27:18 But if they [be] prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon. Jer 27:19 For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city, Jer 27:20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem; Jer 27:21 Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain [in] the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem; Jer 27:22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until "the day that I visit" them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place. Now, this is when Israel hears “come out of her my people”. Let’s look at this word visit-paqad - 1) to attend to, muster, number, reckon, visit, punish, appoint, look after, care for 1) to pay attention to, observe 2) to attend to 3) to seek, look about for 4) to seek in vain, need, miss, lack 5) to visit 6) to visit upon, punish 7) to pass in review, muster, number 8) to appoint, assign, lay upon as a charge, deposit: also 1) to be sought, be needed, be missed, be lacking 4) to be appointed 5) to be watched over to be passed in review, be caused to miss, be called, be called to account, to set over, make overseer, appoint an overseer, to commit, entrust, commit for care, deposit to be deposited, to be made overseer, be entrusted, numbered It is all of the above, because judgment begins with the house of God, but everyone will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. This is our "HOUR" that no man knows, not even the son (Israel) but the Father only. Yet it is written, he will restore us to this place. He will bring Israel to himself even while he destroys the "man of sin" out of that place: Remember the King of Tsur, Tyre-rock? Job 18:4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Shall the rock be removed out of "his place"? Job 18:21 surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] "the place" [of him that] knoweth not God. Job 34:26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; Psa 26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth . Back to baldness and Korah revealed here in Micah so graphically when the LORD wakes up and comes down inside of our soul, he descends to recapture his place. Mic 1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah (who is like God?) the Morasthite (possession of Gath-"wine press) in the days of Jotham ("Jehovah is perfect), Ahaz (he has grasped"), [and] Hezekiah (Jehovah has made strong), kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria (watch-station) and Jerusalem (true pointing; flowing like water and peace). Mic 1:2 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. Mic 1:3 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of "his place", and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. That is the Holy Place, the inner heart of the Soul that he will recapture from the "man of sin" and take back what belongs to him: Mic 1:4 And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, [and] as the waters [that are] poured down a steep place. Mic 1:5 For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not Samaria? and what [are] the high places of Judah? [are they] not Jerusalem? Samaria is the capital of Israel (holy place) where the 'man of sin' sits making himself god; Israel and Judah were separated and the ten lost tribes of Israel (exiled) never wanted to go up to Jerusalem to worship, but made Idols like the nations gods to worship (were scattered among the nations for that reason): Mic 1:6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, [and] as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones (prodical sons) thereof into the valley, (like Saul of Benjamin) and I will discover the foundations thereof. Mic 1:7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an harlot, (carnal mind) and they shall return to the hire of an harlot. Mic 1:8 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons (tanniym-sons), and mourning as the owls (bath-daughters of an unclean bird-spirit-owl: Lilith was the evil spirit or night owl in the legends of Judaism for that reason). dragons: 1) dragon, serpent, sea monster a) dragon or dinosaur b) sea or river monster c) serpent, venomous snake. I kill and I make alive: First the Messiah bites the riders heel (Genesis 49 through Dan-judge of Israel, who will be an adder in the way). But when the serpent is lifted up, in the fire of the Holy Spirit, it burns away all the dross and evil and restores the serpent to its place: Aaron’s rod became this Tan: Exd 7:9 When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a "serpent" (tanniym-dragon). The LORD will make a wailing like Tan who destroyed Pharoah’s serpents. Mic 1:9 For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem. When sin touches heaven, it means our HOUR has come: Mic 1:10 Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah (house of dust) roll thyself in the dust. Mic 1:11 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing. Saphir = "fair": from shaphar-goodly, beautiful, comely, bright: 1) a place in Judah; site unknown. In other words those who belong here, Pass away (abar-cross over to the other side) because your shame nakedness is revealed, just like the cross shows us: Zaanan = "pointed" 1) a town in the low country of Judah from ts'on: the migration of sheep: I see this as the correct pointing for the sheep who are sheared (desires shorn from their hair): Beth-ezel = "house of narrowing": the "narrow road to life": which few find or enter: 1) a place in Judah Mic 1:12 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. Maroth = "bitterness" 1) one of the towns in the lowland (bottom) of Judah from marah- ) bitter, bitterness a) of water or food-b) of harlot's end, end of wickedness, cry (fig.) c) of pain. Mic 1:13 O thou inhabitant of Lachish (invincible), bind the chariot to the swift beast:(horses, steads: from rakash-to collect and gather property) she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. Lachish = "invincible" 1) a city lying south of Jerusalem on the borders of Simeon (heard) and which belonged to the Amorites (mountaineers: Babylon is that mountain) until conquered by Joshua and allotted to Judah Chariots; Merkabah (found 44 x) (this is the sign (four corners (levels) x 10 or for two purposes) that follows those who are being redeemed: I will explain this chariot (cube that opens to a cross) which both is the sign of the destruction of the "man of sin" and the Taking and gathering away of Israel: Sgs 6:12 Or ever I was aware, my soul (nephesh-animal soul) made me [like] the chariots" of Amminadib (my people are "willing"). From Am-my people: and nadiyb-prince, nobles, willing, free, liberal, liberal things inclined, willing, noble, and generous b) Noble, princely (in rank) c) noble (in mind and character. Again, look at the next three scripture to show how the cross (chariot) is both the destruction of the "man of sin" and the "rapture" being caught up" of the son of God: Isa 22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord's house. Isa 66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. Jer 4:13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled . Back to Micah Mic 1:14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel. Moresheth-gath = "possession of Gath" (seize the winepress), treading out grapes: 1) a place apparently in the neighborhood of Gath and probably the home of the prophet Micah Rev 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle (son of man), saying , Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; (Jesus said I am the vine) for her grapes are fully ripe . Rev 14:19 And the angel (remember the 7 stars are the seven angels of the 7 churches), thrust in his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great winepress of the wrath of God. Think of what happened to Goliath of Gath: he was beheaded just like John the Baptist, (born of woman): this is the time of the "son born of man": Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with YOU in my Father's kingdom. Jesus and I drank it together the day he handed me the CUP and bread and said hurry eat and drink: he was getting ready to take me through “the narrow road to life” two days after my crucifixion experience with him; the day the chariot both destroyed the old man by lifting up my spirit to make it “one” with Christ who took me through a DOOR (singularity, Zero point of existence) no man could open or shut: Luk 22:18 For I say unto you I will not drink of the fruit of the VINE, until the kingdom of God shall come. Jhn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: (Israel bears the root and their branches were lopped off, cut off for the sake of the gentiles, but through THE VINE they are grafted in again): He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Back to the verse in Micah: Mic 1:14 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath (possession of Gath): the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel. Achzib = "deceit" 1) a town in the lowland of west Judah 2) a town in Asher by the Sea of Galilee ; What about the “present” given to him? 1) sending away, parting gift a) sending away b) parting gift. It is the word shilluach from shalach; the stretching out, (arms) and sending away, depart, the death and departure of the spirit: Moses sent Zipporah (bird who leaves early: the mind) soul-wife of Moses back to her father Jethro = "his abundance": Zipporah = "bird" 1) daughter of Reuel or Jethro, wife of Moses, and mother of Gershom and Eliezer from tsippor, the birds that Abraham did not divide that descended on his vision with God: It was revealed to me that all animals refer to our desires on different levels. Birds are “thoughts”, fish are emotions, and land animals are actions, while reptiles represent the will. Adam named the animals which means he named his own desires. Lev 14:5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds (tsippor) be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: (water baptism for the soul) Psa 11:1 [[To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David.]] In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul (nephesh-animal soul), Flee [as] a bird (tsippor) to your mountain? Psa 102:7 I watch, and am as a sparrow (tsippor) alone upon the house top. House top also used here: Isa 22:1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? (gag) this word gag is from ga'ah, to rise majestically, lifted up, exalted: this is the power of the cross: If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me: Exd 15:21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously (gag); the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The chariots or cross does both again and again: Pro 6:5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird (tsippor) from the hand of the fowler. Remember Zipporah was the one who took the ROCK and circumcised her son and said "what a bloody husband you are to me" to Moses: The animals or desires on all levels can be clean and unclean because both were saved in the Noah’s ark. Back to Micah: Mic 1:15 Yet will I bring an "HEIR" unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. Mareshah = "crest of a hill" 1) one of the cities in the lowlands of Judah Adullam = "justice of the people” 1) a town of the Canaanites allotted to Judah and lying in the lowlands; site of the cave where David hid from (Adlai = "justice of Jehovah") 1) ancestor of Shaphat, the overseer of David's herds so in order to receive this wonderful reality: We tie it in with Korah (bald) Mic 1:16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate (ta'annug-taste of the LORD to see he is GOOD) children (Son); enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee. Jesus said the "EAGLE gathers where the dead body lies": Finally Numbers 16: Korah who is “Core” in Jude What I see in this chapter is that even one of the priesthood, who is anointed, can not choose when and who will come near to God on their own decision: Jesus said not even the son knows the HOUR the father has in his keeping for freeing or delivering Israel. One who is part of Israel, can't just claim it and name it, but must be in the order of God’s will to receive the Holy Spirit. Num 16:1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar,(shining oil) the son of Kohath,(assembly) the son of Levi, (entwined) and Dathan (belonging to a fountain-Reubenite) and Abiram (my father is exalted), the sons of Eliab (my God is father), and On (wealth-vigor), the son of Peleth, (swift-to flee) sons of Reuben, took [men]: Right away I can see Korahs father is anointed and definitely part of the "assembly of Israel, from the tribe of Levi (priesthood): Num 16:2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: Num 16:3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? Once Christ is revealed, it is a natural consequence to want to rule the same as Moses: I mean isn't that what it’s all about? Not quite: Num 16:4 And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face: Num 16:5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and will cause [him] to come near unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him. Num 16:6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; Num 16:7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD doth choose, he [shall be] holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. Num 16:8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: Num 16:9 [Seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? Num 16:10 And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? Num 16:11 For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are] gathered together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against him? Num 16:12 And Moses sent to call Dathan (belonging to a fountain: Reubenite chief) and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, we will not come up: Abiram = "my father is exalted" or "(the) Exalted One is (my) father" Eliab = "my God is father" or "God is father" On = "wealth" or "vigour" 1) a chief of the tribe of Reuben Peleth-swiftness, "to flee": Num 16:13 [Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? Num 16:14 moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up. Num 16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them. Num 16:16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: Num 16:17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each [of you] his censer. Num 16:18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. Num 16:19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation. Num 16:20 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Num 16:21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. Well here is the separation that comes after the anointing: This is the "twinkling of an eye" destruction of the "man of sin". rega` a wink (of the eyes), i.e. a very short space of me 1) a moment 2) for a moment, at one moment...at another moment 3) in a moment. The word "REGA" (twinkling of an eye) is used 22 times in the OT (there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet): Here are some other times to show that this is truly the everlasting gospel, not the one given to the gentiles only, but Paul said he didn’t speak anything new at all, he just spoke it to a bunch of new people. Exd 33:5 For the LORD had said unto Moses Say unto the children of Israel Ye [are] a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst (tavek-innermost part where the separation of the pieces takes place in Abrahams vision): of thee in a moment (REGA), and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. Job 34:20 In a moment (REGA) shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. Jesus said if that time was not shortened (rega) no flesh could be saved: but for the sake of the elect, it is shortened even though it is the most difficult moment we will ever experience: it fulfills its purpose: Num 16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? I see Adam here: Num 16:23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 16:24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Num 16:25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. Num 16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. Num 16:27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. Num 16:28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind. Num 16:29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent me. Num 16:30 But if the LORD make a “NEW THING", and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. Num 16:31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that [was] under them: Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that [appertained] unto Korah, and all [their] goods. Num 16:33 They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. Num 16:34 And all Israel that [were] round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also]. Num 16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. Num 16:36 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 16:37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed. Num 16:38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. Num 16:39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad [plates for] a covering of the altar: Num 16:40 [To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses. Num 16:41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD. I said the same thing myself when I saw Jesus on the cross. God is dead, what else could I conclude? But Look! Num 16:42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. Num 16:43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. Num 16:44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. Num 16:46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun. Num 16:47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made atonement for the people. ME: that is why this happened to me on YOM KIPPUR: the Day of Atonement and this cross is the SIGN between the living and dead so the plague is stayed: Num 16:48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. Num 16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. Num 16:50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed. Psa 30:5 For his anger [endureth but] a moment (REGA); in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning. More about how this “atonement”, rega/twinkling of an eye, fits in with the abomination of Desolation: Psa 73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation , as in a moment (REGA)! they are utterly consumed with terrors. Isa 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. It also fits with “kiss the Son” lest you be consumed when his wrath is kindled just a little while; why do you think Judas (Judah) kissed him? Korah is read this time of the year "outside Israel", representing those who still struggle as Korah and Chukat is read inside Israel, representing those who have overcome their lack of understanding of who is in control: Moses knew it was God; Korah still struggled with "his right" to be in control. Day 94 Moses, Jesus, Israel, written July 4 2003 Daniel: Dan 9:13 As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. It seems like even to the last mention of Moses in the Old Testament, he has not fulfilled his mission to Israel and neither have they fulfilled what Moses has given them: Jews therefore say Moses will return as Messiah and finish what God started in Israel. Moses went to be with God, but not the Promised Land. Joshua takes parts of the Promised Land with the same anointing as was on Moses, but he doesn't finish it either, hence, the Land is not free of its enemies to this day: Why? As above (in heaven) so below (on earth). Jesus said to pray that the Kingdom of heaven would come to earth. Mic 6:4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Mal 4:4 Remember ye the Law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments. This is the last time we see Moses name: Remember the law, and the word here is TORAH; the first five books of the Bible. Here is how Law is defined: ) law, direction, instruction a) instruction, direction (human or divine) 1) body of prophetic teaching 2) instruction in Messianic age 3) body of priestly direction or instruction 4) body of legal directives b) law 1) law of the burnt offering 2) of special law, codes of law c) custom, manner d) Deuteronomy or Mosaic Law Jesus said not one yod (tenth letter meaning hand to thrust) or tittle (point before the Yod in Jehovah’s name) of the law will pass away till all be fulfilled: Neither Moses, Joshua or Jesus fulfilled the law in us yet, because everyone has not been given the “engrafted Word” yet; hence, he will not drink of the fruit of the VINE till he does so in his Fathers kingdom: At this time Jesus will fulfill all the law and prophets within Israel our heart, including all of Isaiah 61 will be fulfilled within Israel, our heart. Till then, we can say neither Moses nor Jesus finished sanctifying the “name of YHVH” within us. Horeb= "desert” 1) another name for Mount Sinai from which God gave the law to Moses and the Israelites So what does it tell us in the New Testament? First of all, don't be afraid to approach Mt Zion as Israel of old for the chastisement of a son. Enter your rest: Keep the Sabbath after you first remember (zakar) it. Here is why Malachi says remember the Law: The word remember (zakar) is also the word used for the word "male" in Genesis 1: male (zakar) and female he made them. The male (spirit) will be remembered: the male (spirit), as in Zechariah (Yah will remember us) and we will remember Yah. Ephesus (permitted forward) past the barrier, Vail, is told "remember your first love". Horeb is Zion to Israel who approaches for the chastisement. Yet it remains Horeb to the "man of sin" who has Israel in exile: Horeb is from the root charab a primitive root 1) to be waste, lay waste, make desolate, be desolate, be in ruins a) to be waste, be desolate to be made desolate 2) to be dry, be dried up 3) to attack, smite down, slay, fight Again we see the double meaning of the work of the cross, the power of God. So Malachi ends with; Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. I see that if Elijah (spirit of teshuvah-repentance, return of the prodigal son) did not happen, the whole earth would be smitten with a curse and not just Israel, because Israel is within the nations of the earth. Israel must finish their mission and be separated from the "man of sin" so the earth can be at peace: If the fall of Israel is for the salvation of the gentiles, the gathering is for the Resurrection of the dead: Israel is gathered first in Revelation 7 and then the nations: In the New Testament we see Elijah in John the Baptist (the going down into the Jordan (means - a descender-one who goes down) to find themselves, come to themselves, for the Dove is not only the symbol of the Holy spirit but the symbol of Israel (and the Holy Spirit within them). Here they are now harmless as a dove even though they are wise as serpents (lifted up Will to be joined as one will with Christ): Jonah means "dove", and he is a Hebrew (one from the other side); This is Israel coming out of exile; Jesus didn't need this baptism by water, but he does it so all righteousness is fulfilled: Jesus knew who he was, but he did it so others could see how God will fulfill the law within Israel; Jesus is how God fulfills the law and prophets in Israel first, from their anointing (Christ) to their complete straitening of the "WILL" (Serpents-vipers from their father the devil), the reconnection to God at the root of the tree of life. Christ is the “how”, (through anointing, God coming down within us as OIL-light) but Jesus is the “way” (God manifest in flesh) the oil accomplish joining our spirit to Gods spirit again. The WAY the OIL acts and moves and what it accomplishes in Israel, which is why Joshua takes the Promised Land, while Moses (drawn out of the water (Torah)) shows us what the RESULT of the fulfillment will look like when completed: The Living Torah or Law is how one will exist, Be "in Jesus Christ" (the pattern and anointing of the good will of YHVH in his creation, as well as the workmanship of God within Israel his inheritance. Back to Moses The first time we see Jesus speak of Moses is here: Mat 8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Mat 8:2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. In Judaism leprosy is the result of "unwarranted hatred" against ones brother: Hence Miriam became leprous when she rebelled against Moses: So here the leper (a disease where you loose all your "feelings" of your body) wants to be made clean. Mat 8:3 And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (Moses too was shown this pattern by God when he put his hand into his bosom and it came out leprous and then again, and it came out whole, cleansed). Mat 8:4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. Here we see till the gift is made to Moses (the law "Torah" has to be completed first) to be a witness for them. …Now look also at this phrase: "put forth his hand": With an OUTSTRETCHED arm God delivered them out of Egypt and he never changes the way he does things: Ekteino-from 1537 and teino- stretch forth, over, towards, against Act 4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. Again we see this "stretching forth" is the crucifixion experience and I will show it in a minute: Act 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. Act 4:32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. Act 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Jesus talking to Peter (rock; remember yesterday the King of Tsuwr-rock? as in one of the rocks of Egypt -between the rocks, straits (Tisha B'Av in Judaism) where Israel sits on the floor (their soul) to mourn the destruction of the temples, and this is also the birthday of Messiah, born through the tribe of Dan-judge): Here is what Jesus said to Peter (the church age is that time) Jhn 21:18 Verily verily I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest : but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt "stretch forth thy hands", and another shall gird thee, and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest not. Stretching forth your hand, shows you too understand the "separation" process of Gods sons; you can speak from experience, not just hearsay. Act 26:1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: Agrippa = "Hero like" (ego of Israel) 1) Name of a ruling family in Israel at the time of Christ; From two words: agrios + the word hippos=HORSE-spirit: unruly from 68 (field) (the field is the world) agrios 1) living or growing in the fields or woods a) of animals, wild, savage b) of countries, wild, uncultivated, unreclaimed 2) of men and animals in a moral sense, wild savage, fierce a) boorish, rude b) of any violent passion, vehement, furious. The "field" is the world Israel (woman/soul) is exiled in: So "Jesus" stretching forth" his hand healed the Leper (and many other illnesses) as Paul stretching forth his hand gave him the ability to do the same and speak for himself. Offer the gift Moses commanded as a testimony/witness is the word "marturion" from the word "martus” 1) a witness a) in a legal sense b) an historical sense 1) one who is a spectator of anything, e.g. of a contest c) in an ethical sense 1) those who after his example have proved the strength and genuineness of their faith in Christ by undergoing a violent death: Once again, the cross, the POWER of GOD: The "holy child Jesus" in us enables us to DO what could not be done till that point: Jesus is born through the anointing of Mary (bitter rebel--Miriam means the same thing) who finds favor with God: Israel stops being a rebel and the "virgin" soil, the good soil for the birth of Emmanuel is revealed". Then the very next verse is when we see Moses with him at the TOP of the Mt. Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. First I want to say I read in Israel the Mt of Transfiguration where tourists climb every day to be where Jesus stood, has a "serpentine" path going up that mountain: "the serpent is lifted up" here but when this hits its peak, Jesus goes to Jerusalem to become "sin" (like the high priest becomes unclean even as the ashes of the "red heifer" makes Israel clean: The heifer can not have more than 2 black hairs and hair represents the glory of Israel; it must be red, like Adam before sin. Notice the "time frame"; after six days, the six days Adam toils has come to an END: Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, (rock) James, (Jacob) and John (blessed of Yah) his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. transfigured=metamorphoo 1) to change into another form, to transform, to transfigure a) Christ appearance was changed and was resplendent with divine brightness on the mount of transfiguration the word "form" is also used here; remember, it is written, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. Gal 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be "formed" in you. But look what the root for form is: morphe-perhaps from the base of 3313 (through the idea of adjustment of parts) the form by which a person or thing strikes the vision When we reach the TOP of the Mt, something within us is STRIKEN; this will bring on the VISION Habakkuk says will come and to wait for it, though it tarry, it will come. this it says is perhaps from 3313-meros, well I say yes, this word also fits here beautifully: meros from an obsolete but more primary form of meiromai (to get as a section or allotment) 1) a part a) a part due or assigned to one b) lot, destiny 2) one of the constituent parts of a whole a) in part, partly, in a measure, to some degree, as respects a part, severally, individually b) any particular, in regard to this, in this respect I am looking right at Purim (lots) that Jews cast to keep their appointed time and the Roman soldiers cast to keep, and every man in his order will keep to inherit their portion and happy is the man who is happy with his portion, his lot, his inheritance that completes their part of the WHOLE. Ok, so here is where we see Moses with Jesus as well as Elijah who too must come before the "day of the LORD"; Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Mat 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. The feast of Sukkot is where each man sits in his OWN tabernacle, but Peter wants to make three; Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. We hear the VOICE out of the cloud (darkness of the day of the LORD but we are also the “great cloud of witnesses Jesus comes in). Here Peter, James and John, witness the Son wraps up Elijah and MOSES within Israel's experience because he is the WORD made FLESH sent from the father’s bosom: Mat 17:6 And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. In the name of Jesus (just one name) every knee will bow and every tongue will confess; getting baptized into that name means MOSES and ELIJAH are part of that experience. Mat 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. Mat 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. Mat 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. The son of man is the result of Jesus born to us, given to us: we each are raised from the dead because of GODS GIFT to us, "EMMANUEL" (God with us). Mat 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. Mat 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. When the son of man comes, he too will be treated like Elijah: John was beheaded so he could be raised, transformed, made ONE with the "Son of God"; Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John (blessed of YAH) the Baptist, (Dyed permanently, changed). Elijah restores Israel by baptizing them with water, “the law/Torah of Moses) which is then it is fulfilled in Israel so Jesus Can come to baptize the “Spirit” by fire and the Holy Spirit. Christ is at the END of the Law: Mar 1:44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. Mar 12:26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? Mar 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. Mar 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. Mar 12:31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mar 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: Mar 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. Mar 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him [any question]. Now Luke: Luk 2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present [him] to the Lord; Luk 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Down to verse 44.....Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. Jhn 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Day 95 Not just anyone can rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, but the Jews only: Nehemiah and Ezra are a picture of this end time rebuilding of the walls: Also, not just anyone can overcome the Midianites: (contenders) but only God’s chosen warriors. Judges - Chapter 7 Jdg 7:1 Then Jerubbaal, who [is] Gideon, and all the people that [were] with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod (En-harod = "spring or "well of Herod": so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. AYIN (well, nothing, pit, eye, also one of the Hebrew letters); Harod- from charad: ) to tremble, quake, move about, be afraid, be startled, be terrified 1) to tremble, quake (of a mountain) 2) to tremble (of people) 3) to be anxiously careful 4) to go or come trembling (with prep) 1) to cause to tremble 2) to drive in terror, rout (an army). Jerubbaal = "let Baal contend" 1) name given to Gideon by his father when he destroyed the altar of Baal Gideon = "hewer" (tree feller, cuts down trees) 1) youngest son of Joash (given by the Lord) of the Abiezrites, (my father is help) fifth judge of Israel who led the Israelites against the Midianites (contention, strife) Jdg 7:2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. God doesn’t need a lot of people because then they can claim victory by numbers; God is able to do with a few what can not be done by the masses. I also feel the LORD has prepared me for such an hour as this. God takes us deeper and deeper into our own evil to overcome it and when we are no longer afraid of evil or of those who would turn against us from every side, mocking and trying to silence us, then we are ready to be sent. CALEB=dog (gentile part of the mind in us that follows Joshua), who was not afraid to go with Joshua to the Promised Land and didn't come back with a fearful report: Jdg 7:3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever [is] fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead (heap of stones/witnesses). And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. Jdg 7:4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. Jdg 7:5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink, notice, “by himself”. Jdg 7:6 And the number of them that lapped, [putting] their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. Jdg 7:7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the [other] people go every man unto his place. Why does the LORD want those who don't even get on their knees but lap the water (WORD) right from their hand to their mouth? They are ready; they don't need to get on their knees anymore to drink of the WORD: they take it in their hand and to their mouth immediately; they have knowledge of the most high (the sword of the spirit is in their right hand and the shield of faith is in their right). They are able to do immediately what needs to get done with their faith and the WORD. Jdg 7:8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all [the rest of] Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley. (All Israel is in their "tent" or tabernacle: Emmanuel, God is with us): Jdg 7:9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand. Jdg 7:10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: Phurah = "bough" 1) the servant of Gideon, probably his armour-bearer Purah is from pa'ar pa'ar 1) to glorify, beautify, adorn a) (Piel) to glorify, beautify ) to glorify oneself 2) to get glory to oneself, be glorified 2) (Piel) to go over the boughs. Joseph is the one whose branches go over the wall, showing us the inner Messiah in us is the one who brings us to being glorified because he takes us over the wall (of the New Jerusalem. Isa 44:23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done [it]: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob and glorified himself in Israel. Jdg 7:11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that [were] in the host. Jdg 7:12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. Reminds me of the great multitude in Revelation: Jdg 7:13 And when Gideon was come, behold, [there was] a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. LOAF: ts@luwl {tsel-ool'} from 06749 in the sense of rolling 1) cake, round loaf, round, rolling from 6749 tsalal {tsaw-lal'} a primitive root to sink, be submerged also used here: Exd 15:10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank (tsalal) as lead in the mighty waters. Barley-seorah barley but its root is one of those hidden words: sa`ar {saw-ar'} a primitive root ) to storm, shiver, dread, bristle (with horror), be very afraid 1) to bristle (with horror) 2) to dread 2) to storm away, sweep away, whirl sway - to sweep away 2) to storm away (of God's action against the wicked) (fig) b) (Niphal) to be stormy, be tempestuous (exceedingly) - to whirl away, be stormed away Eze 4:12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man (adam) 0120, in their sight. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom because it destroys the ego with terror: I have experienced it; but once you experience that, there is NOTHING TO FEAR anymore. Paul said all before the CROSS was DUNG to him; and so it is: the ego (water baptism, image of the beast) and the "man of sin" (fire baptism, beast) are before the cross in everyone: Jdg 7:14 And his fellow answered and said, This [is] nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash(given by the LORD), a man (iysh) of Israel: [for] into his hand hath God delivered Midian,(contention) and all the host. Jdg 7:15 And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. Jdg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men [into] three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. Their vessels were not full of SELF anymore but were LIT with the LIGHT of GOD: vessels for his honor: candles set on a hill (Zion). Jdg 7:17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be [that], as I do, so shall ye do. Jdg 7:18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon. Jdg 7:19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that [were] in their hands. These vessels that have the light of Messiah in them are BURST by that LIGHT and now comes the day of the LORD: Jdg 7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [withal]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. The left hand is for correction now and the right hand is judgment for the left hands correction: like the stars in the right hand of Jesus Christ for the correction of the candlesticks: Those of us who sit on the right hand with the LORD are going to be used by him to correct the left within ourselves and without: Jdg 7:21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. Jdg 7:22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's (IYSH) sword against his fellow,(rea-explained below) even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, [and] to the border of Abelmeholah,("meadow of dancing"; city of Issachar, birthplace of Elisha (God of salvation), unto Tabbath ( "celebrated"). [rea - neighbour, friend, another, fellow, companion, other, brother, husband, lovers, neighbour ] Bethshittah= "house of the acacia tree" or "place of the acacia". Where is that tree? The Ark of the Covenant is made with the wood of that tree. It is the tree of the covenant: It is the wood of the cross; touch it and the old man dies and Israel, the "son of God" lives. Zererath = "oppression" 1) a town or territory in Manasseh and the home of Jeroboam, now look, it says in Strong’s that apparently by erroneous transcription, Tsaredah apparently from an unused root meaning to pierce. Zereda or Zeredathah = "fortress" 1) a town or territory in Manasseh and the home of Jeroboam. I see both meanings. That is the beauty of the Word; what man can’t figure out is understood by one who has been visited by the LORD of Glory or revealed to babes and the Lord sees this as just in his sight. Jdg 7:23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali (my wrestling), and out of Asher, (happiness) and out of all Manasseh (cause to forget), and pursued after the Midianites. Notice how God scatters Israel to bring all the tribes together as well for the “end times, the last days”. Jdg 7:24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, (double fruit) saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah (house of the ford-for crossing over) and Jordan. Jdg 7:25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock-(Christ). Oreb means raven-dark bird that goes to and fro till the waters are abated-evil thoughts, carnal mind; and Zeeb (wolf-who ravins for the prey, for life itself) they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan. Gen 49:27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey) the life of God), and at night he shall divide the spoil. (He devours the “life” when the daystar rises in his heart), and at night he will divide the portion every gentile gathered and grafted into Israel will inherit: Paul is from the tribe of Benjamin: Everyone will be judged; everyone will loose what they don't want to let go of that is not of God and everyone will win in the “end”. Day 96 Reproach, Branches, Israel, written June 24 2003 Some things written about "reproach": Rachel (sheep-desires for God) and Elizabeth (daughter of an oath or of seven) in bearing sons, God ended their "reproach", who became a reproach. Gen 30:22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. Gen 30:23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: Luk 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, Luk 1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men. David in the 22cond Psalm used in Christianity to prophecy Jesus on the cross says: Psa 22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a "reproach of men", and despised of the people. Actually I see this as a prophecy of David who sees his own end before the beginning. Jesus Christ became the Sin (man of lawlessness) of David on the cross, so David could become the “righteousness of God” just as he will in all men, each in their own order who will receive the “Key of David”. Psa 57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. Next we see Israel as the reproach among the heathen: Joe 2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: Those who are crucified with Christ are Israel (son of God), so they too bear his reproach Jesus came first to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (holy place) which is why he is born there (Bethlahem-house of bread+ Ephrata-Ephraim, son of Joseph), and is lifted up to the Holy of Holies in the power of God, the cross: Hbr 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. When we are crucified with Christ, we are without the camp, bearing his reproach. 1Ti 4:10 for therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, specially of those that believe. So again, Hebrew 13: Hbr 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Hbr 13:14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. If anyone is truly “set apart” from the congregation or the body of Israel, it is for this very important thing God is doing in them for his own reasons that only will be understood by the gentiles when the Messiah comes to them through judging first the house of Israel. They go forth without the camp because here they have no continuing city. Israel is the "son of God" as a whole, the "head" and heart along with Jesus. The head must be gathered before the body is raised: Isa 27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. Was Israel worthy of this? Did they do something special?? Yes and no: God chose ahead of time who would play what parts in this drama and there is nothing we can do but submit to the mighty hand of God: Jews say they chose to accept the Torah on Sinai before they were even born into flesh and blood, but once they were, they are blinded like all born into this earthy realm and must be "born again" to see who and what they were. The waking up of the LORD in us and the judgment of Israel is not an easy thing to endure and becoming a "reproach" to the heathen and leaving the CAMP is a huge sacrifice, which is why God will honor it. Read.......1Ki 14:15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger. Jer 25:27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. Jer 51:49 As Babylon [hath caused] the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. Eze 6:11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. Eze 11:10 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. Hsa 5:5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. Hsa 10:8 The high places also of Aven, (VANITY-crookedness) the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. Amo 7:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land. Amo 9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. NOW READ CAREFULLY: Luk 2:34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set for the "fall and rising again" of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; That sign is the CROSS: the sign the Jews are waiting to see and Israel is waiting to see and Live: "the serpent lifted up". So what does the cross (Paul said he only preached the cross and pretty much that’s all I preach because to me, as to Paul, it is the power of God: but why?) Because it uproots the tree from the old root and replants it as the "tree of LIFE". Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. Nothing in man wants Christ: the only Christ man wants is the one of his vain imagination: the spirit and the mind are at enmity with one another, warring against one another. Jer 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Back to Israel bearing the reproach and going outside the camp (the congregation) which is a huge sacrifice for Israel. To be redeemed, Israel must be "set apart" (apostle means one set apart), like Joseph was and it caused him to be hated by his brothers to fulfill a mission for God to turn what is meant for EVIL against him, around with GOOD: Hsa 9:16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb. Here comes John (beloved of Yah) in the spirit of Elijah (God of Yah) Mat 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. The only tree that will bring forth GOOD Fruit is the TREE OF LIFE and that is Jesus Christ fulfilled in us, revealed in us: THE LIVING TORAH! If the old tree is plucked up, uprooted, and there is no NEW ROOT, there won't be any FRUIT. Mat 13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. Mat 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Luk 8:13 They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. Luk 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. sycamine=1) sycamine tree, having the form and foliage of the mulberry, but fruit resembling the fig from the Hebrew two words, shaqam shaqam {shaw-kawm'} 1) sycamore tree (bearing figs) Amo 7:14 Then answered Amos (burdened), and said to Amaziah , I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: Isa 9:10 The bricks (sons) are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change [them into] cedars.(tree used for purification in the temple). The tree of knowledge of good and evil is transformed into the “tree of life”: Luk 19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way]. We get to the top/crown of the tree to see/witness Jesus: (this is being crucified with Christ) because this alone gives us a witness of all things the CROSS represents: the Lamb slain from the FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, and the atonement, or scapegoats of Israel; Since the sycomore is the "fig" tree, it is the tree of knowledge of good and evil: he wanted to see him, but he didn't know what it would take till Jesus said "today I must ABIDE in your house"; And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, (made clean) make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house Come down means "descend" from there and Christ now fills the Holy Place with his light (that breaks into the darkness of the holy place). Luk 19:6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully, And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. Luk 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor;(poor in spirit, his soul or the Body of Christ): and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore [him] fourfold. Judgment of the house of Israel precedes full salvation of the soul. Jews call this tikkun/rectification: Christians understand Christ sits in the heavens within us and so must our spirit be with him, while he restores or makes our/HIS enemies our footstool. This restoration is done in FOUR stages, fourfold: the four worlds. (four winds, horsemen, horns on the alter, rivers coming out of Egypt, four corners of the sheet Peter saw in his dream, and more): Luk 19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. Luk 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Now back to Israel (Jacob) who is definitely the "son of Abraham" even though the "seed is called in Isaac". Revelation 7 shows us Israel is gathered first at the coming of the Messiah/Christ. Judgment comes first to the house of God: (holy place of Israel in the temple pattern) Rom 11:16 For if the first fruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches: Because Israel bears the ROOT of the tree; The branches of Israel have to be grafted back into the tree of life before those who are grafted into the branches of Israel can experience the resurrection with them. Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them,(the branches not the tree) and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; In other words if the branches had not been broken off to fall to the earth, or into the pit, the gentiles could not be grafted into the branches of Israel. Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Rom 15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a "root" of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. In Rev 7, Judah heads the list for a reason: the transformation of the root happens at his level; Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the "Root of David", hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the "root and the offspring" of David, [and] the bright and morning star. again, Israel is made an example for the gentiles sake: as a matter of fact if God does not graft Israel back into the "tree of life” through Jesus Christ in us fulfilling all prophecy in us, there will be no resurrection from the dead: This is why you should all PRAY PRAY PRAY for Israel, for the “peace of Jerusalem” (our mother above). Pray for Israel to finish their work and enter their "rest" Keep their Sabbath. The resurrection of the dead for both our gentile nature and Israel depends on them being visited. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee. LOOK CLOSELY: Behold therefore the "goodness and severity" of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. Praise his Holy name. I am Israel of the tribe of Judah and I vouch for this; I know I am grafted into the TREE OF LIFE and my name is written in the book of LIFE for that reason: I pray for all my brothers Israel to endure this severity of the LORD so all 12 branches will be grafted back in and then the resurrection of the dead will be complete. LOOK: For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree? Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. God blinded the eyes of his people so they wouldn’t be able to go home till all the gentiles are grafted into their branches; till the fullness of the gentiles “come in”. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, there shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: I did indeed see him and he indeed did deliver me: Rom 11:27 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Amen and amen: God took them away: I couldn't have done anything if he had not visited me at the appointed time and given me the Choq (feast days Judah had to keep so the wicked would no more pass through Judah). Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes. Israel may be enemies for the sake of the gentiles, but for the FATHERS sake, Israel is “beloved” (David means “beloved). Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Rom 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. Rom 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. Rom 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Rom 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Rom 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? Rom 11:36 For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen. Jesus Christ the King (good will) of Israel and the King of the Jews. Exd 4:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn. Day 97 The Bible books tell the story in order April 10 2003 The whole Bible is about us and God; just look at the message I found by taking the definition and meaning of every single book and reading it as a message in order. Genesis-The generations Exodus-departed Leviticus-to become a priesthood, Numbers-so they could be numbered Deuteronomy-through receiving the law, Joshua-to be the "salvation of YHVH", Judges-and judges, as well as Ruth-friend, neighbor, to those who I & II Samuel-who heard the first and second time I & II Kings that they were really Kings again, I & II Chronicles-through the enumerated Word , Ezra -that helped them, Nehemiah-to find Gods Comfort and repentance, Esther-through the Myrtle tree, Job-and being hated, Psalms-but singing to the LORD, Proverbs -and understanding his WISDOM, Ecclesiastes-Being Taught by the teacher, Song of Solomon-the SONG OF PEACE, Isaiah-to discover Yah has SAVED, Jeremiah-and Yah has RISEN, Lamentations-through great Sorrow, Ezekiel-strenghened of God, Daniel-and judged of God, HOSEA-they were delivered, Joel-because YHVH was their God, Amos-they carried the burden, OBADIAH-of serving Yah, Jonah-Like a Dove, for Micah-"who is like Yah", Nahum-who repents and comforts, Habakkuk-and embraces, Zephaniah-those he has secreted, Haggai-and through the feasts, Zechariah-Yah remembered, Malachai-and sends the Messenger of God. I will do it with the New Testament; Mathew-The Gift of YAH Mark-is a defense Luke-of light John-to the "beloved, blessed of Yah", Acts-acting Romans-in strength, I&2 Corinthians-to satiate, fill up, Galatians-the Gauls-gentiles, Ephesians-to allow, permit, Philipians-the love of the brothers, Colossians-BIG,HUGE I&II Thess. conquests over falsity, I&II TIM-because they are doubly dear to God, Titus-who nurses them, Philemon-and is friendly, Hebrews-to those who make it to or are from the OTHER SIDE, or region beyond, James-for they are Jacob-heel catcher, supplanting Esau the first born, I&2Peter-through the ROCK 1,2,3 JOHN- and are YHVH favored, Jude-for they are his POSTERITY, and BLESSING, Revelation-WHEN HE REVEALS in them JESUS CHRIST. Day 98 Recognition and destruction of an Idol; I wrote this on December 14 2002 about seven years ago. One of the biggest changes in my perception after my spiritual regeneration was how I saw both Jesus and God. It is written no man can see God and live, but it is also written Christ is Lord of the living and dead. God is in Christ, reconciling the world to him-self so he mediates between men and God, between the world and himself through Christ to bring the world back to the ‘knowledge” (union with) God. I spent 17 years writing about my new understanding of Jesus, but I want to put this older version of my understanding into this book even though it is already included in one of my earlier books, because it reveals how my perception (discernment of spirits) has changed and why. I wrote this discussion seven years ago, but my first attempt was about five years before that time. Here is my explanation of idolatry and Jesus Christ, including the Jewish Torah portions (Parshas) and how they relate to my new understanding. Trying to explain Jesus I wrote this four or five years ago, right after my experience of the cross, and in all these years since little has changed for most people. Some are waking from their sleep and having the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” which the Jews will experience as their “Coming of Messiah” and Christians will experience as the “second coming” of Jesus Christ. Let me begin by describing how we are all caught up in idolatry without even knowing it till the “true God” is revealed in us. What is an Idol? The biggest bit of contention among Jew and Christian is Idolatry. Jews believe Jesus is an idol, actually the great Idol which causes the nations to go astray and makes people do terrible things in his name, especially wars of mass destruction the past 2000 years. Christians, although aware of the carnage of the church, believe Jews are a bit off their rocker when it comes to this one thing, but can't seem to find the language to convince their Jewish friends about their reality with Jesus, so they have no other recourse but to believe the Jew will simply one day "have" to believe in Jesus as they do, and if they don't they will never know God or be "saved" so they can go to heaven, end of story!! For 17 years (current in 2009) I have been trying to explain the "higher symbols" of the Bible and Jesus and the Torah to both Jews and Christians alike, with the same reaction from both. Hopefully what I am about to say without much reference to the Bible, may be more helpful, because I wont be stepping on anyone's belief systems and therefore I wont be speaking threatening language. After my transcendence of "beliefs", I hoped, (but less and less so with each passing year), that if I took the very scriptures which are a foundation for both religions, that it would be "easier" to understand through scriptural language what I was trying to explain, but most people simply dismissed my interpretation of the scriptures because they didn't relate to them in their inner core, or "belief system". Most people do not have a “frame of reference” to relate to my experience. Yet, our experiences are what form our beliefs. It is this "belief system", which I will prove is the real Idol until the Lord comes and brings all hidden things of darkness to the light. Take four little kids, a Jew who is raised in a frum (religious) household and told about HaShem (name Jews use for God) through parshas (portions) of Torah equivalent to their age group, understanding more deeply what the stories of Abraham, Issac, Jacob and Moses mean to his parents and his people. Down the street, take a little Christian, told about how much Jesus loves them from little on, and all the stories of the gospels, and how they relate to his world and culture etc. Double that reality for Christians who are divided into Catholic and Protestant (33,000 sects and denominations) camps. Not too far away is a Moslem family whose little kids are told all about Allah, their five intention statements and theirs hopes of completing the Hajj to Mecca during their life time. Last but not least take the little secular atheist, who is told to strive for success and knowledge, getting a good education in one of the many disciplines such as math or science, and he will be ahead at the game of life. All five kids grow up devoted to finding happiness with the tools they are given, the beliefs handed down from trusted loved ones, and even though they started fighting their parents about these "beliefs" from Junior High school, when someone other than family pontificates different beliefs, our little being finds himself defending these familial beliefs with a tenacity he doesn't quite understand. All he knows is when someone tries to "throw him off" before he is ready to discard his beliefs himself, he will fight for those beliefs as though his LIFE is dependent on them, which in fact it is to a large extent. Slowly but surely, as he grapples with life "experiences" he understands many of these "beliefs" in different ways. Some he wants to discard as quick as he can, especially if they interfere with his wants, and yet others he hangs onto because even though they seem to limit his personal freedom to express himself as he wishes, he feels comfort in knowing "beliefs" exists which will hold him up, when all other things let him down. I dont care which of these children we are talking about, they will all react similarly because when it comes to behavior and "process of learning and being", we are all more alike as humans, then we are different in defending "belief systems" that we grasp as a "foundation" of identity. Now where does the Idolatry come in? When the Jew davens (prays) and studies Torah, or the Christian prays and tries to be like Jesus, or the atheist is determined to grasp the knowledge of some discipline so he doesn't have to be "limited" to such silly "ideas" or crutches as God, morality and that confusing, contradicting Bible, they are all “hanging onto their highest" understanding of reality through their LIFE path. And here is where we will find the "form"-tsur for truth; not so much in the beliefs of the path at first, but in the "quest" desire, commitment, “will”, to comprehend it. (This is also known as the “form of godliness” in the Bible, but it is the “structure” of learning in every discipline that begins with the written word over experience with what is written). What Im saying is, all our religious belief systems are an “outer form”, which God pours our substance (spirit) into, and this FORM is the IDOL he must in the END SMASH as a potter smashes a vessel in order for our “soul” (God’s form prepared to receive him) can grow and flourish with true spiritual understanding. The form understood through the “mind” is a mixed interpretation of both carnal (seen) and unseen forces. Religion molds the shape of our true being, but while it is forming us, we find in the end, that the form was neither us, nor God. We realize the form is the thing we worshipped as God because we had no real frame of reference apart from it. After 17 years of living in a transcendent reality apart from the FORM, I have no judgment about peoples need for it. Actually I understand completely if you bring a baby out of its mother’s womb before it is developed, you won’t rush the LIFE of the child, but rather its death. The child has worth all the way along and is loved (hopefully) from inception by his parents and not just when he finally grows up and can stand on his own two feet. So why do I keep talking about this need to comprehend these two different FORMS, our first and second birth. Why not just let it be and let every man learn in his own time and order form and be quiet about it? I would, only that is impossible for a person who has been broken out of their first form, although sometimes I wish to just be happy with my wonderful life and forget all those who are still in the womb. Plato (trying to use an example outside the form of all our references here) speaks of the man in the cave, who all his life believes there is nothing but the cave, and the lights, which make shadows on the wall, are the only light he ever hopes to find. One day some poor guy finds his way out of the cave and is so happy, so awed, so overwhelmed, he simply revels in sun, air, water, grass, flowers for a long time. As he sits and feels his joy, he realizes he must return to the cave and try to get others to come out and see how much more there is to life. To his dismay he finds the others would rather destroy him than have to grapple with the idea that they are in darkness and have to find their way out. In many many ways, I too had these same feelings about "truth" which I could not comprehend yet in my journey; I too had to demonize and project heresy and apostasy onto people who could see more than I could see, so again, Im not judging anyone. Destruction of an Idol: Like a woman in travail, there never seems to be a good time to actually have the baby. It seems like you prepare, you long, you seek to find the best in you for this moment, but when the time comes, you are first excited, but then a woman is apt to say anything, from "why did you do this to me" to her husband, to leave me alone you idiots, to the nurses who are trying to be helpful, to "take it out of me now”, to the Doctors. Whatever the process, no woman I have ever met wishes labor would just last forever, because it was so great. Very often it is an untimely birth and then things can seem scary, when the baby or mothers life hangs in the balance; this is how my birth out of my form was experienced. I will be the first to tell you I didn't have the easiest births, either with having my natural children or the breaking forth out of my religious form (of godliness). I simply was not prepared to truly go through this experience. I am glad I had made my decision to STOP sinning as I understood sin, and to return to God no matter what it cost me before this whole thing took place. I felt like a woman who is glad she took Lamaze breathing when it is over, thinking how much worse it could have been. Teshuvah-repentance is the forerunner of this experience because in this deep desire to return to the source of the highest aspirations and feelings and ideals one has come to comprehend within their form, it never occurs to them that it will lead them to the END of anything. When all my desire and willpower was contained “in the form”, it was time to break the form...smmmasssshhh. I was left in a place that seemed to be nowhere, with nothing to hold onto. Talk about FEAR and astonishment. One can’t prepare for such a reality, no matter what I tell you about it, you will not believe how intense it is till you experience it for yourself. The reason God explains this in visions is because the visions are the intermediary state of transformation, to a higher form (yetzriah-formation) wherein he will guide you (beria-new creation) to pick up the pieces so to speak and get the scriptures right this time; God is good like that, for he has no desire to see his children (yechida) flounder more than they must during their development of will (crown of life, keter). Eventually the visions too must be let go of, and this again is another step I had to take six years later, but all in all, you develop enough stamina by trusting the creator blindly (by faith) by this time, that eventually you dont need images, visions, Idols, or forms of any kind to live a joyous, free, wonderfully full existence without a belief systerm. Life works lawfully now, within the law of creation and you understand that law from within your heart because it is written there by the ‘creator’. It is enough that I am, but why? Because of love which is completely based on the law of God rather than images or IDOLS about him. I can’t imagine a better place of existence, because here or there, I am with God. The freedom from ideas, philosophy-yikes, banished philosophy alone, is enough to celebrate. Philosophy is looking at all the various choices man seems to think he has. vanity! Freedom from right and wrong is only possible when you have a choice, which I no longer have. Now you may say "what" you have no choice between right and wrong??? What is this nonsense you have found? Yes this is the best thing of all. I see that the choice is like saying, do you want to die or live, be stupid or smart, love or hate, do you want evil or good? Is that a real choice? I no longer see this choice as a real choice. In true life, no choice needed. I want what God wants and this is enough. In the end we dont need the form or the choice between evil and good and this is so wonderful that it still astonishes me every day, every time I think on it. I am free to LOVE all the time, anytime. Love is not an emotional condition, but a ‘will” condition. Love is the will to do good all the time and this will was given to me my new understanding of God. Now so many people are so quick to point out that I sound like I have such a huge ego, thinking that God would let me have this experience or see this thing, and who the heck am I? But I say it is the ego, which thinks it is a big thing. The ego sees this unity with God as making the form of all people bigger and more important than someone else's form. The saved soul however realizes that inside the new form God is making us all ONE, great and small, and we will all love what we will be, individual seeing, feeling entities, who understand one another spiritually even if we have so many differences that we will never be bored with one another or the true creation. Oh the wonder of his ways. God reserves the knowledge (union) of what it is to have the form smashed and come out into nothing being nowhere, to feel your own true life in his sight and in his presence, made for himself. No one can tell you what this is like and they shouldn't even think they can. All I want to do is tell you it is not only possible, but dont fear to seek for it, and to be done with your avoda (spiritual work) and struggles. Pray for Moshiach (Messiah) to come and explain it so much better than I or anyone who has gone through it can. Moshiach will explain it so you can not only hear it but “know-da’ath-yada” it. I for one will be more than happy to be one of many, much greater than I in beauty or inheritance. I am enough just where I am. Everyone's freedom will only add to my life, not take one single thing away. Of this one thing I am sure beyond doubt. What about Jesus? Now for the need of some Jews to hear me say I renounce Jesus, I say, it’s not necessary. I understand for me Jesus was the idol or form or image God was pouring into a vessel of vanity, but when the time came, we had to die together for me to rise to my own sense of my creator and me. I was immediately aware of a different presence after I was smashed and found myself in the nothingness for three days, which felt like total death of all reality. I then was given visions, which were the new form of all the DEVAR (word) would explain to me of the Torah three years later. The first three years I was allowed to revel in the visions and allow them to explain the fullness of my previous religion, which I realized the Church had no real idea about. Then three years later God took me to the Jewish religion, beginning with Jonah and book by book, through Hebrew, he was explaining how the Torah (first 5 books) and Tanakh (34 next books) had the visions I was given in every single chapter. All the pieces of the visions eventually explained all the feasts, the Torah, the law, and all the truth, which is hidden from us before the smashing of beliefs or old form, takes place and it takes place in the twinkling of an eye. The destruction Exodus 33:5 when God rises up in us, which is only for a moment-rega-twinkling of an eye- Psalm 30:5, and when he desolates our form-vessel of vanity, carnal mind, idols Psalm 73:19, is all for a single moment, but the reshimo-imprint of the vision is so strong, that it lasts long enough to put the pieces of light captured in the vessel together correctly. The New Testament has its own version of these scripture when it says that the “man of sin” is desolated by the brightness of his coming and the truth of his appearing in the “twinkling of an eye”. Once you have seen enough in the Torah to grasp it as the “tree of life”, then its time to smash the "importance" of the visions, especially the “serpent lifted up” that Israel used as an idol till King Hezekiah destroyed it. Now this many years later I realized the vision wasn’t what had to be destroyed, but the “image” of Jesus on the cross with my carnal understanding is what had to be destroyed. After eight years (tablernacles) I was told it was time to descend from the throne room I felt so loved in and holy in for eight years. As I wouldn't have wanted to experience the smashing of the form if asked, I didn't want to leave the throne room either, so God forced my soul to become ready for the next phase. I felt some more fear, well actually a lot of fear about letting go of the importance of the vision and sitting at his feet for 8 years, but God put me in another situation internally that made it impossible to worship him in this way only. God is so awesome, so wonderful and loving that gives us this time alone with him just so we can (know-have union) with him, but how do we ultimately know him? Neither our dependence on visions or our old ideology and idolatry are good enough to live in God’s sight. We know him in his love for his creation, by being a force of love just as we are loved. The love shed abroad by the Father into our hearts is outgoing in all its ways. We want to share this love with others in every little single way we can to help them move forward in their spiritual journey. Yes, it is normal to want to share such a great salvation with the world, but over the years I had to learn to be content with whatsoever state I was in, even if no one hears me here and I have to wait for everyone to get to the world to come in order to communicate about such a wonderful thing. I for one know as exciting as this time in history can appear, it is nothing compared to how we will all feel when no one has to say “know God”, for all shall know him, from the least to the greatest. The scripture both form the image or idol of our new life and then smashes that image or idol to create us in the true image of God even as Adam was before the fall. Jews were at Sinai before they were even born says the Jew. I now the same is true for Christians who cast their lots at the cross before they were born to see what “hour” would be appointed for their visitation, each man in his own order I Cor 15. Daniel was told he would “stand” in his “lot” (pur) at the end of days and I know we all will or at least every Jew will stand in their lot. The story of Esther is about this for the word Purim from pur means “lot” and the Jew is the spirit in man that will stand (word for resurrection) at that time. After all these years in my transcendant state of being, I really feel the time has come to comprehend the upper worlds and like Paul to be "caught up" or raptured to them to understand the things too wonderful to speak about in the times past. I speak of them because I too have entered the third heaven, and I am allowed to speak of these things as a witness of Jesus to the nations; God asked me "bring all things back to him" before he took me through the abyss and I was "taken up" like Enoch to walk with God. There are so many scripture the Church never talks about because they have no experience or frame of reference with them as of yet, and yet there are so many teachers and blind guides precisely for that reason. Till one has been visited and “set apart” for God, man is doing the teaching of Gods word and that means he is still speaking good and evil from the same mouth. Jesus said these days would be so confusing that even the elect would find it hard to find the truth and they would almost be deceived, yet they are unable to be deceived because it is the elect part of us that will be awoken and receive the “eyes” to see and the ears to hear the truth about God. Only someone who has “seen and stood in the great day of YHVH” can understand the truth and try to explain it. I say try, because others still need ears and eyes to see and hear. Not even Jesus could reveal the truth to those who didn’t have these organs. My own experience of the “hour” of judgment: God told me before he revealed anything, “Bring all things back to him”. I had no idea what he was asking, but I was willing. Soon thereafter the process of transformation began. After I was thrown into the pit of my own heart, which is the “separation from the glory of God that had been given to me when Christ was first revealed in me”, I needed the ‘finger of God’ to write into my Stony heart the law of his covenant. I understood the meanings of my visioins that followed this time of destruction of my carnal vessel of vanity so my soul could be saved with the abundant life in me forming my soul in me, (new heart and mind). I was brought to share my witness to the Jew first after I was told I had to “go” to bring the “everlasting gospel” to those on the earth. I finally understood the term “sent”, which has nothing to do with deciding to preach the gospel with your own decision. I gave my witness (eduth) to the Jews and learned about their religion for eight years till 2000, when I was sent back to the Christian world from where I came. I learned how Judaism witnesses to this experience as much as Christianity does, if not more profoundly and deeply, but neither people understand the depth of their religion till they experience the truth (emet) for themselves during their visitation. The Jewish feasts are internal experiences, which validate and explain what happens to us as we enter the upper worlds of the third heaven or the upper room and in understanding them one understands all Jesus Christ fulfilled in us. Till we receive this spirit from above, which is the spirit of truth that leads to all truth, which Jesus called the “comforter” sent by the Father, we will not understand what the symbols of the Bible really mean. Jesus said it is expedient that I GO, so the comforter comes. That was not just for the disciples of his day, but us as well. Jesus or the “daily sacrifice” (tamid of Daniel 12) must be “cut off” so we can see the “Spirit of the Father” for Jesus came to return us to the Father of our spirits and live. The Holy Spirit will baptize our spirit with fire thereby joining us to Christ, which joins us to the Father, but as the “Spirit of truth” and “comforter” are we comforted in our affliction. The spirit of truth will witness with our spirit that we have found the father who has returned his heart (Son in his bosom) back to us and our heart back to our father. The spirit of the Father will lead and witness all that Christ told us for he witnesses of him, not of himself. We will never know more of God than he already witnessed in Christ but we need to know (have union with) the truth of what the Word taught or we won’t be free. The truth sets us free, where our opinions of it do not. Judaism and Christianity both have the answers but it takes a return to Eden to comprehend them. Can we return to Eden (pleasure) while still in this body? Yes and the witness we have in the Word is that Paul went to Paradise even though his body was still here in the world although one doesn’t quite know if they are still in the body or not. I sure didn’t know even though I had to be or I would not have stayed here but been removed from the earth. Jesus prayed his father would keep us from the world, even while we are yet in the world and so it will be for all who become witnesses of Jesus while they are enduring the “great tribulation” on earth. What is the great tribulation? It is the battle between Satan’s messengers and Jesus Christ within the spirit of the soul who has brought Christ forth as the first-fruits of their soul. Paul explains God will put Satan under our feet shortly after this time he is revealed in us due to the separation of good and evil in us. Satan knows his time is short after this and therefore his wrath is poured out on those who have the “Witness of Jesus” (the man formed with the Spirit of Christ and the creation who brings him forth) and have made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb (Christ-the good will of God in the soul). Some truth about Messiah (combinng truth from both Judaism and Christianity” Messiah is the light of man and the light of the world as Hanukka's candle lighting tries to reveal;(the menorah is put on the left side of the house [need for spiritual rectification] while the Mezzuzah is on the right. Actually as every feast reveals and every parsha (portion of the Torah) shows the work of Messiah in Israel. Messiah is the light which lasts 8 days (years) while we complete our spiritual warfare needed to gain our rectification and ascension back up Jacob’s ladder, (soul). Our spirit (ruach) had to descend to meet Messiah in order to become the Ruach Qodesh (Holy Spirit) in us first. We descend-yarad to meet Messiah at the root but really it is ascending when it comes to the upside down nature of the “tree of life”. To God down means to (Malkut) the Kingdom of God on earth or his footstool-the outer world-branches of the tree and leaves for the healing of the nations). Yet this would be UP to us since the trees roots are lower to us than the leaves. We are inverted images of God that must be stood upright to be right. So then down means to the bottom of the soul (as seen in Tisha B'Av, birthday of Messiah is shown when Israel keeps this feast day by sitting on the floor to mourn the sins of the Israel). This going down or descent into the “Jordan” is up to God for us, since the upper worlds open below at the root of the tree where the ein sof-Keter-crown of life and (galgalta – place of the skull, is located). Messiah must light (kindle) the spirit of man which he does through the “neshama” or breath of God or the “kiss of the Son” and this neshama in Judaism, is the candle of the LORD. Messiah accomplishes all the promises on an individual level just as the sages and prophets promised he would. If he didn't do this on an individual level would it make any difference if he came out of nowhere and rode into Jerusalem on a white horse? I dont think so. Only when we appreciate being led by Moshiach inwardly, will he manifest for us outwardly. In Judaism, One must keep two Sabbaths for Messiah to come. Those two are represented by the double Sabbath loaf associated with Shin-3 flames coming from ONE single point. The New Testament says the same thing when it tells us just as they are saying “peace, peace” sudden destruction will come and they will not be able to escape. Who won’t? The man of sin won’t. Divine revelation bound to the essence. Since hidden Moshiach ben (son) of Joseph is associated with this letter shin, which is patterned on the “tree of life” from chockmah (wisdom) to bina (understanding), I would say we have to bind to him (Joseph the inner Messiah who feeds us even while in the land of Egypt), (metaphorically) before Moshiach ben (son of) David can lead us within the land of Israel outwardly. The land of Israel is our soul redeemed. If it doesn't happen to us, it didn't happen, unless we stop being us, in which case does it all matter? (Although I can say even if I stopped existing I would want Gods world to come into being as he planned it because with or without me, the plan is absolutely perfect and wonderful). Some other weekly Torah portions the Jews read year in and year out all prepare them for this visitation and when they have the visitation, they will understand what they have been reading about for 6000 years. The word parsha means “portion of Torah”. Parsha Masay, (Num 33-36) speak of Reuben and Gad helping Israel to “win over the enemy” with the help of Manasseh before they will be allowed to settle where they please later. Gad-means troops, “inheritance” and “throng” while Reuben means “see you a son”, and Manasseh means “he will cause to forget”. In finding our unity with God through the baptism of fire of Messiah, we get our inheritance by thronging into the Kingdom and sometimes with much violence, to see a son-the only begotten son, and this will cause us to forget our troubles in Egypt (ego of the vain vessel of vanity, the carnal mind). In parsha TZAV, the Shabbat before Pesach-Passover, this Sabbath is called, "Shabbat Hagadol", the Great Sabbath. Why? Not only were the Israelites supposed to slaughter a sheep, Eyptian idol and eat it while spreading the blood over their door posts to save their own firstborn while the Egyptian firstborn-our first vessel, the carnal mind with the yetzer hora (evil inclination) dies in the sea), but they also are supposed to remember the laws of Pesach-Passover. So the whole thing is a long Sabbath. The practice of the Siyum,(fast) where the memory of the firstborn Egyptian boys are slain so that Israel could live is a mitzvah (good deed and law) on the erev (evening) of Pesach. After enough people have experienced their visitation which will light their candle (neshama) again with the light and oil-anointing of Messiah, connected to the Shekinah between the cherubim on the “Ark of the Covenant”, then more and more of the world will resemble the promises of God to Israel till the earth is covered with his glory. In the parsha "Tetzaveh", describing the articles needed for the tabernacle (our inner spiritual house) the oil or anointing-our personal portion of Moshiach, must be squeezed out of us like olive oil is pressed out. The masach is the portion given to help us finish our rectification). The anointing of Moshiach presses the light of the Torah (Law of God) right out of our skull so to speak or out of our spiritual-substance-etzem-bone. Moses told Israel that Betzalel- means, "in the shadow of God" would build this Mishkan, (just like the virgin is overshadowed) and he was the son of Uri-fiery, son of Hur-chur-means “crevice of a serpent” which is where the serpent is hiding till he is lifted up. Here we see the “fiery flying serpent” mentioned in Isaiah 14; Out of the root of the adder (etz da'at-tree of knowledge) will come forth a fiery flying serpent, and his “fruit will be glorious”. This is the rectification of or lifting up of of the “son of man”, Adam. Along with Betzalel God appointed Oholiav-"his fathers tent" (sukka-Emmanuel-God with us) from the tribe of Dan-judge, serpent in the "way" (to bite the heel of Esau so Jacob the heel catcher could supplant him) according to Jacobs blessing to Dan. The entire Bible fits together like a huge puzzle. For the Lord said to Moses, say to the children of Israel, you are a stiff-necked people; I will "come Up" into the midst-qareb-innermost-center of you in a moment-REGA-means "twinkling of an eye", and consume-kalah-destroy you; Exodus 33:5 I will extol you o Lord; for you have lifted me UP (both these refer to the serpent lifted up-crucifixion). And you have made my foes to rejoice over me; O Lord my God, I cried to you and you healed me. Oh LORD you have brought my soul from the grave; you have kept me alive that I should not go to the pit. Sing to the LORD, oh you saints of his and give thanks at the rememberances of his Holiness. For his anger endures but for a moment-rega-twinkling of an eye; in his favor is life; weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:1-5 Surely you set them in slippery places; you casted them into destruction... (I fell into the pit on Tisha B'av of 92 and saw the serpent lifted up on Yom Kippur of 92)... The verse continues...How they are brought to destruction, as in a moment-rega-twinkling of an eye. They are utterly consumed with terror. As a dream when one awakens; so OH LORD when you awaken, you will despise their image. (We see the owth (sign-signal) of the cross, appearance) which was Jesus and me on the cross (crucified with Christ) verse 21...Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reigns. So foolish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before you, (here is the mark of the beast)...verse 23, nevertheless I am continually with you (our redeemed soul- Jacob delivered from Esau); you have holden me by my right hand. You will guide me by my counsel, and afterward receive me to your glory. Leaving parsha Vayakhel, (discussion above) lets go to "Teruma"-our personal "lifted up" willing-choice to give God our selves, our OLAH (burned offering) for a sacrifice. During parsha Teruma we see the building of the Mishkan (tabernacle) including the Ark-aron, (also coffin) and under the cover of the ark-kaphoret, shulchan-table of law (which in my vision was given to me many months after the original vision. I was told by my spirit-devar-word of God, "I will set a table for you in the presence of your enemy, but dont look at them, LOOK at ME). I was to look forward and listen only to God during this time of this “seat of association”-(Hebron). The Menorah is part of this Mishkan (tabernacle in the holy place) and so is the table of showbread or law. The cherubim who represent our return to ourselves (Adam and Eve spirit and soul as one) sit on the kaphoret or cover-representing atonement-kaphar and teshuvah-return, true repentance. The blood-dam which turns to milk-sweetness at the level of checed-mercy, tiferet-beauty and compassion, and gevura-judgment and might, is associated with this mercy seat. Now one may ask, how will all this inner work ever get done in us when it looks so bleak and so far away in most people? The answer is; from my experience and perspective, God can literally destroy mans ego (shatter the vessels) ascend in man (go UP as the serpent in the inner cave must be lifted up) in the twinkle (REGA) of an eye and Babylon-mans confusion, can be destroyed in one hour and become Zion, our New Jerusalem. It may take 7-8 years to do tikkun (rectification) after that, depending on how little you knew of scripture and Torah before,(I didn’t know much) but it wont take much longer even if you didn’t; Why? Because in the vision-chazeh, all will be explained in the twinkling of an eye; (the parsha the Feasts, the lessons of Torah, the whole shabang; Then you get this super intense desire to cling to God out of sheer necessity or you will feel like you are disappearing and you want life so bad it hurts. You will be willing to do anything to not offend the creator, including everything he wants you to do, even obey the commandments but this isn’t necessary, because they are written in your heart so you can only obey them. You will speak from this abundance that is engrafted here in the heart. The first thing you realize after the deep feeling of compassion makes you pray for everyone you see in every situation, even people you hated before. (This alone is enough to change the world, believe me). Your heart can’t take any form of evil at all. I remember I couldn’t watch ordinary television, much less the harsh low life comedy that is considered normal by the world’s standards. (Now I see with different eyes and realize everyone will go through tikkun (judgment and rectification, regeneration) and come to realize these wonderful things but there is nothing I can do or even should do to rush it. Yet there is nothing I should do to prevent it or keep my knowledge and witness from the world. The Temple mount is also called Moriah-bitterness, from which the Hora-instruction and the Yirah-fear of heaven goes froth and which the orah-light goes forth, say the sages in Judaism. Once my judgment began, I no longer wanted to judge people, only the evil, death and darkness I saw they were in. I felt very very sorry for all manner of people everywhere. I found myself praying and rocking back and forth in the middle of the night, something I had never ever done and dont do anymore, but I would pray for 12 hours a day for several years. I saw the intense beauty of life all around me without anything changing in my outer life. I felt a need to praise God for hours at a time; singing and my mouth seemed to be some kind of lifeline to my reality, (ain ode milvado-God is the only reality). Judaism gave me form to go along with my experience in the early years. I realize the “letter” Peh is associated with the birth pangs, oral knowledge, (oracle of God) and the Union of spirit in the da'at-knowledge of God, also the witnessing, sukkot-feast of tabernacles, and the 32 paths to wisdom. At the time I only knew I had to speak Gods word or feel dead, or rather remain in a state of ‘nothing’, since my mind had been removed by the Locusts. For awhile I didn’t know that all the locusts (angels) had eaten would return, but at the time who had the choice to wait for that? After the visions stopped, the fear (of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom) lasted several years off and on, and I would have to pray intensely speaking the Word of God in order to get rid of the fear and this “confession” built up my soul in Spirit and truth. This is why I know God in his great power could change man so quickly he wouldn’t know what hit him. I want to prepare people for this experience so if it should ever hit them unknown to them, they would have a frame of reference, for I believe every year more and more people will experience their appointed hour. Sometimes the darkness I experienced prior to the visions that culminated in the owth (cross-the sign Jews are waiting for) would return and I would have to pray deeply and intensely, but only the actual words of scripture could save me from this fear. The standard (nec) which God “lifted up” against the enemy when he came in like a flood is also the cross. At some point in the first three years I was profoundly led to the book of Lamentations (Eich-Jews read every Tisha B’Av-birthday of Messiah and day of mourning in Judaism for the destruction of the first and second temple). I spent much time reading, weeping and understanding this book, for some reason I still did not fully comprehend at the time. The whole time I was in this dark place inside before the throne of what I knew to be my creator. This little place, I recognized later as my own individual sukka-tent-tabernacle-Emmanuel-God with me, I had been brought to (the woman in me taken by the wings of the great eagle into the wilderness. (The eagle gathers where the dead body “man of sin” lies. The experience according to the Hewbrew letters is revealed in the letter qoph or “eye of the needle” which is the face to face union or kiss, rolling through the singularity as “one”, (challah bread or Shin-3fold flame coming out of the single point), lighting my nesham (candle of the Lord). Soon after I was standing before this lattice work dark room; small and a throne was in that room and like Esther I had to wait instinctively to be invited in; (Song of Solomon is also seen here with the DOVE Israel looking and peering through this lattice work). I was invited in and fell before the throne, though I could not see the being on the throne. I knew this is where I belonged. One day soon after spending as much time there as time would permit, he asked me, "look outside the window" I did and saw the whole earth with a bright shining light around it; The voice-devar said, this is how the earth will be when I am through with it. I wept for hours for seeing such a beautiful thing. Yes in building my new inner HaMikdash (tabernacle that God was building), was built up in the correct way through the steps in the Torah. I was appointed a new King (whom I knew to be HaShem God himself and not the prior Jesus of my imagination). I remembered my first love but I did not deny Jesus name. I had to work on tikkun-rectifying, eradicating all traces of Amalek (descendant of Esau which means “doubt” that God can do all things through Christ/Messiah). I had to allow God to build my new Beit HaMikdash since, "lest God be the builder of the house, the workmen work in vain" and I had seen enough vanity in the abomination for desolation, to last me an eternity. Three years later in 95, (92 had been my vision of the "owth" (sign) on Yom Kippur) but now 3 years later I was simply led to translate Jonah to Hebrew; (my first book to understand in the Hebrew tongue, the pure language God would return the Jew to). I had never wanted to study Hebrew, but out of the blue-techeleth, my son in law brought me a Strong’s Concordance with translations and he said, I think you are supposed to have this, and he was not even religious. I knew God told him to give this to me and I spent the next three years deep in Bible translations up to 14 hours a day, unable to put down the Bible or the Hebrew. I started experiencing a great sense of awe and extreme joy over what I was discovering. (SimchatTorah or the “Joy of the Torah”, I was receiving the oral Torah directly from God. The names and words in the Bible all told a story; I used to think the names took up a lot of space in the Bible but now they were the most fascinating thing of all. Every single chapter revealed the process I had just gone through, in the sequence and words but especially the names. The names were a witness of what I had experienced. I was given this knowledge in retrospect instead of foreknowledge so it was HIND knowledge, looking back and saying YES, I get it, this is what happened to me. It later was witnessed to me again in the parsha Yitro, with the phrase "Ha'aseh, V'nishma" we will do and we will understand. Last but not least in 1998, out of the clear again, someone gave me a computer for free. It had the Bible translation on it in Hebrew and some other important things to help me gather the truth even more clearly. (The light of Bina (understanding) at work giving me my manna (food from heaven), which I didn’t understand before; I certainly did not say “mah” (word for manna), what is it? But as I ate I realized if I ate correctly it was sweet in my mouth, but it was bitter in my stomach when I discovered things I could not comprehend right away or that revealed more of the tikku-rectification the lingering affects of the “man of sin”. I had to work out my salvation to understand truth correctly in order to be set free of the burning fire of the Holy Spirit. I kept writing books, well actually I became the “scribe in the kingdom of heaven” who brought out of my treasures things new and OLD, and this was my third book from 95 and my 6th from 92. I could not stop writing even though I had to go to the local collage to type daily before I got the computer, but I had to do this work. I simply had no choice because the fire was in my bones and needed to be expressed even though I shared it with no one till 98, six years after the visitation. The book in 98 was called "Armageddon of the Soul"! I knew I had just been through the war of all time, and the name Har Megiddow showed me I was on the right track, since it means a place of rendezvous, appointed place. Judah is told by HaShem (YHVH) in the Tanakh (34 last books of the OT), "keep your solem feast" and this feast (Yom Kippur) I kept; I was also told I was from the tribe of Judah but have absolutely no desire to convert to Judaism as it is observed today, because for me this would be a step backward, "waiting for Moshiach" when he has already LIT my spirit (ruach) with the neshama (breath of God) and (fulfilled the covenant made with Abraham which was making the light (lamp-Menorah) go tavek-between the pieces-of my soul and spirit-holy place to desolate the abomination for desolation). Here are some other interesting facts about Armageddon that explain the inner journey. Besides the place of many battles for it is in the valley of Jezreel, (God will sow), there ran a highway from Egypt (between two rocks, straits-narrow road to LIFE) to Damascus (silence of the sackcloth weaver). Whether coming out of Egypt of going to Damascus as Abraham did, there is an encounter with God on some level. Paul also had this encounter on the way to Damascus. Jezreel means "God sows" his Word in this place. The Word brings prosperity for the soul while it brings destruction for the vessel of vanity, the carnal mind. Jezreel is a northern city (semowl-dark hidden side (left hand-soul) requiring judgment—to the south-land of Judah and also the right hand-spirit). Jezreel was also a son of Hosea-meaning "deliverer". Here we see ourselves again as the place God will sow his Word. Some of the Israelite battles here are Deborah (Bee)-Judges 4-5, (bees make the honey of the Promised Land, the word: Debar-devar-Word is the root of this name. Gideon (hewer-chop down)-Judges 6-7, Saul (asked-enquired) -2Sam (heard) 4, Jehu- (Jehovah is he) 2Kings 22, all had their battles here. It is the site of the battle of King Josiah (whom Jehovah heals), who perishes in the battle with Pharaoh Nehoh (great house-he is smitten) (2 Kings23:29). Here is how it explains this battle in the Tanakh; In the days Phaorah-Nechoh, king of Egypt (religious ego) went up against the King of Assyria (Christianity-religious Idol of God) to the river Euphrates-Parath-means to burst forth, and I see as the symbol for bursting forth in the new birth-new foundation-yesod. I will explain through the names. Then it continues, King Josiah (founded of Yah-our spirit that needs a new birth, and which will be joined to Gods spirit) went against him at Megiddow when he had seen-ra'ah (vision) him. And his servants carried him in a chariot dead. Here is Ezekiels chariot which is chash-mal (silent speech): It is the cross which every eye will see and mourn for him as a mother mourns for her “Only Son. From Megiddow he brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own sepulchre-gevurah-place of might and judgment. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz (YHVH seized-raptured, caught up, plucked up) the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in his fathers place. (I Chronicles11:3) in his fathers place-is the word tachton-bottom, the bottom (floor of the soul). I had gone through my appointed hour for my visitation (pachad). My (lot-pur) had been cast and I had naphal-fallen into the da'at (pit that begins a place without water, but will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD). Through this union with the word of God had found my way back out in tact and full of joy. Jehovah truly was is and will always be my salvation as he was in the “WAY” which is that narrow road we all walk through to get home to eternal life. I sent my first book to over 100 Priests, the pope, ministers, Rabbis, all over the world and being one of low funds didn’t stop me because this was something I felt I just had to do. No one answered me, but that was ok. I felt blessed to be able to do it and I am pretty stingy by nature but I figured this was my tithe (10% of my life that began with giving up my ego/vessel of vanity) that I owed God and was as happy to pay up as Zacheous (made clean) was when he too went up the tree to see Jesus. 3 years later fulfilled TuB'Shevot (festival of the trees). No fruit of my New Tree was going to be eaten for three years and that was exactly right. God fulfilled in me everything he promised Israel as far as I could see even though my body and mind were not quite in inison with my heart and Spirit within that heart. My other feelings began to return and as they did, they were able to follow and submit all desire to my husband, my spirit which was also slowly renewing my mind. My spirit which I understood increasingly to be "MY true given WILL", all agreed on everything according to Gods words. I had received Sod (mystery) of the Torah, which represents ayin or the number 70, which is also the number for wine-yayin -70. Wine and mystery are the same. The four cups of wine one drinks at the Pesach Seder, are for four expressions of redemption; 1) V'hotzeti"- I will bring you out from under the burden of the Egyptians-and call my son out of Egypt. 2) "Vhitzalti" I will deliver you from their bondage and 3) "V'gaalti" I will redeem you with an “outstretched arm and with great judgment (cross). 4) V'lakachti", and will take you to ME for a people. My body and spirit were in two different worlds and therefore I was not healed of my physical affliction, but I could see how the evil, (my infirmity) was meant for good. The fast my food addiction had brought me to, also brought me to the root of my soul. At the time of the first writing I was still waiting for healing from my food addiction, but since 2005 I have been healed from this terrible deep addiction. I am still waiting for full healing of all the parts of my body, but I have joy and peace and absolute wonder that no one healthy and young around me seems to have. I also have more than eye or ear had ever seen or heard before even in my wildest “imagination”. I have such peace such joy that I want for nothing; I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that “my redeemer lives”. Isaiah 2:17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low; and YHVH alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish. Verse 12 told us For the day of YHVH of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty; and he shall be brought low. Many times HaShem (YHVH) makes it very plain that the vanities and idols of their imaginations are what he abhors more than anything). If God said it from the beginning it had to happen. Isaiah 10:10 tells us...As my hand has found the Kingdoms of the idols and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and Samaria; Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? (What idols are in Jerusalem?). Only the ones the Jews have. In Hebrew it reads Yad-hand matsa-come forth, exist, appear, befal, deliver up, hold, attain, mamlakah-kingdom eliyl-good for nothing idol, vain, vanity, thing of naught, peciyl-carved graven image, pacal-carve wood or stone; Yerushalaim and Shaomrown. Verse 11 continues asah-make or do Shomerown-Samaria eliyl-worthless idols, ken asah Yerushalaim atsab-adulterous image idol, also means carve fabricate worry pain grieve hurt worship. Verse 12 hayah kiy adonay batsa-to break off, plunder, finish eth-kol=the whole ma'asah-work har-Mt. Tsiyown-Zion, Yerushalem paqad-visit, appoint avenge bestow deliver judgement; periy-fruit, bough, reward; from Paltiy'el-deliverance of God godel-magnitude, greatness lebab-heart melek-King of Assyria-from Ashur-successful, second son of Shem; glory-tiph'arah-ornament, beauty fair honour, high-ruwm-elevation, haughty, to be high, rise raise high ayin-looks; Isaiah 19:20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto YHVH of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto YHVH because of the oppressors and he shall send them a Savior and a Great one and he shall deliver them. And YHVH shall be known to Egypt and the Egyptians shall know YHVH in that DAY; and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yeah they shall vow a vow unto YHVH and perform it. And YHVH shall smite and heal: and they shall return=shub-do teshuvah (repentance) unto YHVH and he shall be intreated of them and he shall heal them. Ezekial 30:13 Thus says YHVH elohiym; I will destroy the idols and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt; and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt. Ezekial 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and you shall be clean; from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse you. And a new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony (law written on stone) heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and ye shall keep my commandments and do them. vs 31 Then shall ye remember your own evil ways and your doings that were not good and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. As far as I know the Torah and Tannak is also written to Judah and Israel. I will leave you with Isaiah 48:5 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth and I shewed them; I did them suddenly and they came to pass. Because I knew that you are obstinate and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow brass; I have even from the beginning declared it to you; lest you should say “my Idol” has done them and my graven image and my molten image has commanded them. (God makes sure we don’t give the glory to our vain image of Jesus or God, but that we know it is God himself in us). Isaiah 48: continues…. You have heard, see all this and will not you delcare it? I have shewn you New things from this time, even hidden things you did not know. They are created now and not from the beginning; even before the day when you heard them not; lest you should say behold I knew them. Zechariah 11:16 For I will raise up a Shepherd in the land which shall not visit those who are cut off, neither seek the young one nor heal that is broken, nor feed that stands still; but he shall eat the flesh of the fat and tear their claws to pieces. Woe to the IDOL shepherd that leaves the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm and upon his right eye; his arm shall be clean dried up and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. The idols we have of God will be destroyed during the visitation and these are why the earth (carnal mind) goes into gross darkness. Yet the Spirit unites with the manchild on the throne and here is the message for him and the woman (heart part of the soul) will confess in the wilderness via the new earth (new mind part of the soul) that confesses the Word in her unto salvation. Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication; and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced and they shall mourn for him as one who mourns for their only Son and shall be in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day shall be great mourning in Jerusalem as the mourning of Ha-dad-rim-mon (meaning "a help" and ornamental tree, from its rising up) in the valley of Megiddon. The cross is in a vision but it is the ‘sign” the Jews are waiting to see and this will be the Power of God for their salvation. 13:1 In that day there shall a fountain be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem “for Sin” and uncleaness. And it shall come to pass in that day says YHVH of hosts that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit (antichrist) to pass out of the land. After all this I only know one thing...if Israel and Judah had not gone into Idolatry then why was YHVH so mad at them all the time? All people have idols and all of them will be destroyed in that great and fearful day. One should never assume that because you have no strange god on your lips that he is not in your heart. The reason the abomination is in the HOLY place is because of the ‘strange god’ or the man of sin who exalts himself above God as God in the temple of God. This is our religious ego. Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be in that DAY that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea and half of them toward the hinder sea; in summer and in winter shall it be; And YHVH shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall there be “one LORD and his name shall be ONE”. Other Torah Parsha’s I want to comment on in the light of Mashiach within my soul: Day 99 Torah portions from Genesis: Bereishit-The first Word in the Bible means “in the beginning”and disusses the creation of time. Paul said to ‘redeem the time” for the days are evil, but the time to redeem is the “time of the ego” (first vessel of vanity) so we can enter “time is no more”, that existed before the creation of this world. Messiah will give us the power to transcend “created time” to a new level of eternity consciousness that will overcome the affects of the old vessel of vanity our carnal (time conscious) mind. Noach- This parsha Speaks of God’s recreation of the world after he first destroys the wicked. Jesus said as in the days of Noe, so will be the “coming of the Son of Man”. Just as God destroys the wickedness that occurred before the flood, so he will do again at the “end of the age” or the “end of time”. Noah (meaning rest) is the picture of mankind entering his rest even while his wicked tendancies are all destroyed in a flood. We see Satan cast out the flood after the woman (soul of Israel that is the ‘body God prepared for himself), but the earth helps the woman. Our new mind that is created by the “good will” of God in our heart will renew both our heart and mind by our confession unto salvation. Whatsoever is bound on earth will be bound in heaven. Our soul will encompass both in one experience. The flood is God’s word meant to destroy Israel, but instead, both gentile (earth and mind) and Israel (heavens and heart) are brought into a new relationship with God when the soul confesses the Word in the correct, righteous way. Lech Lecha-This parsha discusses “returning to your-self”, even as Abraham the first Jew, was able to do through faith given to him from above. Abram means “father of a high people”. We know he was a Hebrew (one from the other side) which is another way of saying “from the world beyond”. Just like the story of the Prodigal son, that Jesus said the Kingdom of heaven was likened to this story, he had to “come to himself” in order to realize he wanted to go back to the “fathers house” and be a servant rather than live among the pigs (desire of the animal soul to wallow in the mud-below-on this side). In Judaism there are 288 sparks of holiness that fall during this passage to the ‘other side’ and these are contained in the broken vessel of vanity also known as ‘shells, husks’ or as they are defined in Job as ‘chards’ that he scrapes his boils with. Ridding oneself of the shells around the sparks is what correction or chastening of the sons is all about. In Judaism this is called “tikkun” (correction). In my experience the way it works is Christ comes down from above (Keter-crown of life) to give us holiness so we can be returned to our original position with God. In my experience this is Christmas (first resurrection) in the soul. Next Christ in us leads us to correction of the soul till it reaches Easter (death of the old man *of Sin*) for a better resurrection of the soul with Christ. Passover is also around this Christian holy day showing that Israel in us passes back over to the other side, (Hebrew) but not all of us returns. The gentile part remains and Paul (man-child-Spirit joined to Christ) in us, becomes the minister to the part of the new creation which is the renewing of the “mind”. Part of the holy sparks remain here on this side (the world) to correct that part that will be joined to heaven within, and this is how God in Christ reconciles the world to himself. In Judaism Aliyah is the return of Israel to their land. The Land of Israel is in every man who becomes a Jew, just as all parts of the body are the ‘earth” God used to form man. Israel is in the “midst” of the earth, the heart of man. Vayeira-This parsha discusses Abraham’s desire and mission to spread “monotheism” all over the world. God made Abram (father of a high people) into Abraham (father of many nations). The mystery is that the soul of Israel would be scattered throughout the gentile natures till God visits them to bring them back to himself, out of the world, and make them a “Jew” as Abraham became the first Jew. Judaism talks about the run and return of the soul and evrery Jew feels the fire in his bones to run to God and return to bring the message or light back into the world he came from to bring this good news to them to make another Jew (circumcised heart). The Garden of Eden (pleasure) is also called the Orchard in Judaism as well as the “Inn”. Here Abraham spread his good understanding to the travelers whom he gave to grasciously. When Jesus is born, there is no room in the Inn, (inner court, holy Place) of Israel, so he is born in a stable, born and put into a manger (troth to feed animal nature in us all). Jesus comes first to the “lost sheep” (desires for God) of the house of Israel to feed them the heavenly manna that he is so they can return to God and be “sent to minister” to the world this everlasting gospel. Jesus came to heal the children of Abraham (father of many nations), who are both like the stars (Israel) and sands (gentiles) of the sky and sea. There is a lot of discussion of the beard in the Bible. Orthodox Jews keep their beards long because of what it means to their understanding. According to Rabbi Ginsburgh, the beard is a lesson in levels of consciousness. In shades of red to black to white, the colors represent levels of recreation of the “new man” (my addition). The last Adam who is also the “life quickening spirit” is both Man and Spirit. Here the beard colors show how man is both Adam (from odem/red) and black (small countenance in Judaism called Zeir Anpin, who is the image of God (bride to his groom), and white, the level of ancient of days (Atik Yomin) or long countenance (level of Messiah). All these are levels of consciousness revealed in a Jew. (One circumcised in heart-my addition). Chayei Sarah-The parsha begins with the lifespan of Sarah (princes), hence the parsha means the life of a princess. Much of this parsha is about the numerical value of Sarah’s life and how it relates to the levels of the soul in both its correction and glorification. In Judaism the revealed or inner dimension of the Torah is Kabbalah (revealed knowledge). The word knowledge means “union” and in this case it means ‘union with wisdom and understanding” to show how this union builds the soul of Abraham (the husband of Sarah) into a new man. It is written Sarah died in Kiryatharba (city of four) and I understand this to be the city foursquare. Kiryatharba is the early name for Hebron (association) a word for how all of the twelve tribes will be associated here in the final days. It is a city in Judah (Kings), also a descendant of Levi (priesthood), as well as Caleb (dog-gentiles-mindsets). Here Hebron is in the land of Canaan (lowland) or the lower nature of the soul. It comes from Cana (to be humbled, subdued-to bow the knee). Sarah was buried in the cave of Machpelah (to double, portion). Abraham bought the land with the cave from Heth (fear, terror). It comes from the root “to be shattered” which is what happens to our carnal mind when the soul experiences her death before the resurrection with Messiah. Abraham wanted to be sure that all who lost their mind to enter into the full expression of their soul through this judgment of law, (death before rebirth) would become his children. Toldot-The parsha discusses Isaac and Rebecca (a clog) who are two halves of a soul: The man and his wife just as Jesus Christ and his Church are two halves of “One New Man”. Rebecca seems to be the “clog” Isaac has to dig through to make the soul bigger. The purpose of coming here in human form is to have a soul. Jesus asks, what would a man give in exchange for his soul? The answer of course is give up your lesser identity to find your greater life. Give up the carnal mind so you can get the spirit joined (know) to God, and that will give you a much bigger image than you are before you dig deep into your consciousness. Abraham brings the light down, and Isaac digs up the dirt to bring the light even lower and lower into the depths of mankind. It is written, the “Seed” is called in Isaac, because here is where Christ is found, in the depths of the earth, hence, he is the “root” of David to become his offspring as well. The return of the light to the creator is the work of Jesus Christ within the soul. It is written Jesus Christ is our righteousness, and in Judaism, this work belongs to the “tzaddik” the righteous man in his generation. The three wells Isaac dug go along with the three levels of the soul, behavioral, emotional, and rational/intellectual. In reverse we begin with the carnal mind, to sanctify the heart/emotions to get to the will, the seat of action/behavior. In reverse, the will is transformed first, (a child shall lead them) giving our emotions a new way to feel (joy of the Lord that is our strength) to the new mind that is able to focus on all that is revealed below so it will be above. On earth as it is in heaven. Vayeitzei-This parsha discusses how all sevens are dear to God. The seventh parsha, it concludes all that is needed for “creation” from the beginning. Much of this parsha deals with gematria as well, meaning how numbers fill the meaning of the letters used to write Torah, but I will try to bring the “New Covenant” meaning and assimilate it with the fulfillment of the law. Malchut (Kingdom) the seventh lower sefirot or vessel that is filled with light is represented by the seven candlesticks or churches in Christianity or Menorah in Judaism. All of the above (heavenly light) must be brought to the earth, to the “Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven”. The parsha is all about unification of the masculine (spirit) with the feminie (soul) to make “one new man” out of the old lump, out of two men, the old and new man/Adam. Jacob’s wives and their hand maidens built the house of Israel. (Bore him his sons). Mt. Moriah (chosen by Jehovah, from ra’ah-to see, perceive, have a vision) is the place of Solomon’s temple as well as the binding of Isaac. It is written; “on the third day” Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw this place far off. Abraham called this place Jehovahjireh (Jehovah sees) to this day, (while it is still called today). I believe this is the place we all bring Christ to or he brings us, because it is the place we meet with God so we can be “joined’ to heaven once again. It is the place of the cross within us. It is also written…. 2Ch 3:1 ¶ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the LORD] appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan (light was perpetrated) the Jebusite. (One who is in the threshing place-early name for Jerusalem). Mic 4:13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. The daughters of Zion go along with the ‘second hei” in God’s name, the letter for Grace. The first “hei” is the grace of the heavens, (mother) the second is the grace that comes down to the earth (daughter). Vayishlach-This Torah portion is about being “sent” to others with the mercy that is extended from God to the soul within you, (Jacob/Israel). Before a soul is ready to help his brothers, Jesus said he had to be “converted”, turned around within himself, overcome his own evil inclination. Since Christianity believes or should believe that only Christ is able to overcome evil in us, (refuse the evil and choose the good) we conclude that one must experience “Christ in me” before the soul can be joined to that light that is the life of “man”. Every stage of the soul’s journey is one of separation and rectification from his old man in whom that soul died. In this particular parsha Jacob is able to extend mercy to Esau (hunter in the field-world) after he overcomes the evil inclination of Esau within his own soul. Till we understand our “Sin”, we don’t appreciate our salvation from it, hence, this journey of exile gives Israel within every opportunity to appreciate their eventual freedom from sin. Paul explains, where sin abounds, grace does much more abound. God made sure sin would not be the victor in this experience, and yet, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God who concluded all under sin as he imputes righteousness to all via faith in God. As long as a soul feels separate from God and others, it will not understand the true wisdom of the cross and its salvation. So how can a soul then appreciate the cross? I don’t believe it can till one is on the other side of it, looking back at such a great salvation. Paul explains all before the cross is as dung once you are on the other side of the cross. Till you are on the other side, the message of the cross is a ministration of death, and it is rejected by the “old man” because he knows his end is immenant with the experience. Vayeishev-This Torah portion is about the ‘fear’ Jacob experienced and how he was able to withstand that state due to the “love” he also experienced. It is written, the “fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. It is also written “perfect love casts out all fear”. Many people hope for a love that is able to overcome the fear of death, but the “fear of the LORD” is the experience of “death” already, the death of your own self, hence, nullification of your being where only God remains in one’s consciousness. Since God is perfect love, the person who experiences God, even while he experiences the “end of himself” is able to bear it, while the person who experiences the end of himself without the love of God, can not bear it. The cross in my experience gave me both the experience of the “end” of all that I thought I was and even all that I thought God was, hence, complete annihilation of what I “thought” period. Yet, the result was that the true God or the true experience of God was able to be made manifest, hence, I was able to bear the loss of me and begin to “know” God as I was known. It was revealed to me not long after that the “revelation of Jesus Christ” is first to the house of Israel; hence, judgment comes to this house first. I found to my delight, that knowing God is so much better than focusing on myself that after awhile, I felt free, hence the “Spirit of truth will lead to all truth” and bring the freedom we all truly desire and will delight in. Having God as our focus is wonderful because in him is no darkness at all. Rabbi Ginsburgh discusses the process of submission, separation and sweetening as three phases of the soul of Israel. First the soul must submit to find God, who separates them from the gentile nature and sweetens that soul with the “knowledge’ of God within that soul and this makes them a light for the gentile nature Israel is exiled in. Romans 11:32 Paul speaks in amazement, For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. Rom 11:33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Rom 11:34 for who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor? Rom 11:35 or who hath first given to him and it shall be recompensed unto him again? Rom 11:36 for of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen. Mikeitz-This parsha is about the world of concealment or the hidden things of God thatare revealed to his servants the prophets. God was alone and created to give of himself to subjects, to be “King” (will) within creation. In order to make the creature in his own image (man) he would have to conceal his sovereignty over creation. He would have to hide himself to an extent and only reveal him-self to those who were ready to receive the truth instead of rely on one’s own imagination about reality. God prepared a body to receive this revelation and called it “the elect” or chosen. The people were chosen not because of what they did, but what God did in them, but their part was in their ability and willingness to receive this knowledge. The body God prepared is Israel, the offspring of Isaac who is the ‘seed” of Abraham. It is written, the “seed” (Christ-Messiah) is called in Isaac to show the progression of revelation. Jesus said Abraham saw his day and was glad. Abraham was able to walk perfect before God because he knew God was not only the giver of all his desire, but the upholder and provider of all promises made to Abraham. The faith of Abraham made him a friend of God who “revealed” his plan to Abraham, whereas it is concealed from those who are not ready to receive the “good seed” within the good part of their soul, to bring forth fruit, 30, 60 and 100-fold (Mark 4). Rabbi Ginsburgh explains how the phrase “he will be my servant’ is the most representative saying of this parsha. The Rabbi explains Joseph speaks this about Benjamin when the cup his found in Benjamin’s saddle. Joseph represents Messiah within Israel and Benjamin the “son of his right hand’. Paul was from the tribe of Benjamin and he was sent to serve God by bringing the message to the gentiles. Yet who was Paul looking for within their natures? He was seeking out his people Israel lost, exiled within the gentile nature that was hidden from them till they had an encounter with their inner Joseph. Vayigash-This Parsha is about two kings, Judah the King among his people, and Joseph, the King of Egypt. We know salvation comes through the Jew, but what is a Jew? One whose heart is circumcised and therefore understands the “gathering” of Israel is all about the unification of the tribes into “one man”. Joseph is a stage of Messiah within Israel while they are still exiled in the ego of the world, Egypt. David from the tribe of Judah represents Messiah that leads Israel within their own land. Israel (all tribes) are given sustenance by Messiah Ben Joseph while they are in exile within the gentile nature. Yet once Israel is revealed through the visitation, they will return to the Promised Land of Israel and Joseph will receive sustenance from Judah/David. In terms of how this relates to our soul, Joseph within helps the soul while it is exiled in the ego of the old man. Yet when the soul is freed from the old man and made alive through Messiah Ben David, Jesus Christ in the soul, everything within and without will receive from Christ. Jesus Christ is born in Bethlahem Ephrata, showing the fulfillment of the promise to make one stick/tribe in his hand out of Joseph (Ephraim) and Judah. Messiah brings all Israel together, each man in his own order, to make “a new man”and a New Creation where all things have become “new”. Vayechi-This parsha is about the phrase, “and Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen years”. Jews explain that these were the best years of his life even though they were outside of the land of Israel. The reason Jacob was so filled with joy during these years is because his “family” was all together again. In contrast we see Jesus crying over Jerusalem because so many times he would have gathered them together as a mother hen does her chicks, but they would not. Israel was one in Egypt, but then they were scattered when they failed to live in the Promised Land. In my own experience of coming out of exile (the world), I found a different kind of difficulty living close to God; it was being rejected by those I could always count on. The world does love its own but it hates God because once the soul finds God, it quickly discovers everything in the world is destroyed and there is no place to go back, no place to return. Our rest must be in God or there is no more rest, not even the kind the world offered us for many years prior to our redemption. Jesus said he leaves us with his peace, not the kind the world gives…….what kind of rest does the world give? Vain imaginations can create all kinds of distraction from the inevitable consequences of being alienated from God, our true source of life and love. The worst part of the world is when the soul realizes the world has nothing left to give it, and the soul becomes poor in spirit as well. Yet here is the darkness before the dawn of redemption. Here is the “end” of self before the beginning of the true nature of the soul that will reflect the light of God once more as it did in the beginning before man gave up on God. Day 100 Torah Portions from Exodus: Shemot-This parsha is all about Israel forging an identity while in exile. The four things that merited Israel’s redemption from Egypt were, they didn’t change their names, language, didn’t speak evil of one another, and they barred themselves from improper sexual conduct. The latter was the most instrumental in keeping their identity during exile. In my experience of coming out of exile, I also had to come to these four qualities before Israel was revealed in me through the “revelation of Jesus Christ” in me. God gave me a new name and I wanted to live up to its qualities, it’s character, and even though I could not, I didn’t try to change it to meet more lenient standards within myself. I had to forgive everyone and stop speaking evil of anyone. I was given the new tongue that enabled me to speak the truth and desire to learn the Hebrew language as well as Greek, but Hebrew became a deeper desire than I could explain to anyone. Lastly, I had to be willing to give up all vain imaginations about my sexuality and certainly any behavior that went along with it. When I did merit bringing forth the first-fruits of my Soul, which is Christ, there was a separation of my soul (Israel) and spirit (antichrist and his seed the carnal mind) so Christ could take the old man to the cross and the “body of sin” could be destroyed. The law was put back in my heart which gave me the whole hearted desire and the single-minded desire to walk by the Spirit and grow in stature into the “New Man” in Christ Jesus. Since the law is spiritual, I realized the desire to keep it was not a carnal ordinance, but a ‘heartfelt” need to do the “Will” of God that he begat in my soul; that will is hope, faith and love in all things. Va’eira-This Torah parsha (and I appeared) is about the exodus from Egypt. The parsha is about the inability to change one’s behavior (as Pharoah kept changing his mind in letting Israel go), when the bad memory (of the plagues) ended. Here is the main reason why it is so difficult to “repent” to return to the root of our soul so we can be “engrafted” with the “perfect law of liberty” and do, act from a wholesome (holy) perspective. How does this change when “he appears”? The verse that goes along with the parsha is one I use all the time in my writings…. I am God, and I will take you out from under the burdens of Egypt; and I will save you from their service; and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and great judgments. And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be a God to you..." (Exodus 6:6-7) In my own experience, the “outstretched arm” is the experience of being crucified with Christ, which is also the “great judgment” that Israel (Judah first) must experience in order to experience the “better resurrection” that includes the soul of Israel as a whole. For the first time today, I read a commentary on a commentary by Socher Tov from the Midrash on Psalm 114. Here in Deuteronomy it is written … Deu 4:33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Deu 4:34 Or hath God assayed to go [and] take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? Deu 4:35 unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him. I vouch for all words in the Bible after my experience of “seeing” God and “knowing” there is none beside him, but these words are by far the most memorable by experience. Coming out of exile required the exile to come out of me, hence, while my spirit was joined to Christ to sit in heaven with him, my soul (Israel) had to be sanctified in the wilderness till it was able to remember my rest in all areas of my life, even when the whole world comes against me. BO-This parsha deals with a continuation of the plagues that affected Egypt when Israel was redeemed. The Jews tell us that those who wanted to keep their Egyptian identiy did not survive with other Israelis, but suffered the plagues with the Egyptians. The Pharoah was not as clear headed as his own men when it came to the necessity of letting Israel go to serve their own God in the wilderness. Aish (Jewish website) explains that it was difficult for Pharoah to see the situation clearly because of his “emotional” immersion with Moses. Pharoah was more interested in ‘winning” over Moses than the life of his own people. How do we know if we are doing God’s will for our own pleasure or for his? In my own journey, I found out in retrospect when the result brought more disappointment instead of gratitude for the “faith” to do God’s will. If my faith led me to the realization that I did it for my own benefit alone and not for God, I would always give up doing the right thing sooner or later. In my own experience, I had to receive from God to do his will: I had to be given more faith in order to please God and receive that pleasure back to myself. Once I received the law in my heart, I was able to do Gods will because this is what I wanted now as well. Hence I understand the desire to choose “good” and refuse the evil, and most of all I know to whom I give all credit for this ability in me. Christ in me makes all (good) things possible. Beshalach-This parsha is the “desire to quit” when things get tuff. I remember when I first discovered my “idealistic” nature was at war with my sensual nature for comforts of every kind. I could desire to do the best of the best in my head, but my heart usually found lots of reasons to put these off another day when things might seem or run smoother and become a lot easier to deal with. Adam Lieberman on Aish asks, why would God, who loves us more than words could ever express, give us a desire not to grow, succeed, or experience the pleasure of great accomplishments? The answer is simple: Only through struggle and fighting the burning desire to quit can we ever have the unbelievable joy and ecstasy that comes from achievement. If God knew the Jews would want to run back to slavery at the first challenge they encountered after just witnessing all of the miracles that He preformed for them, then clearly the drive to quit and retreat is alive and well within all of us. It doesn't matter how big, great, or strong you are -- this force will always be there. My own experience of this is true until I was given the baptism from heaven, the power of repentance that comes with the “spirit of Elijah”, to return to God and remain here joined to him due to the second baptism by fire. The ruach qodesh, (Holy Spirit) enabled my spirit to be joined to Christ so he could take it back to God. Once my spirit was “one” with God, it was fulfilled in me “and a child shall lead them”. The Man-child that Israel gave birth to in me, became the “new will” that led the soul into sanctification in the wilderness. Once the soul is sanctified, Moses and Jesus have both completed their work in the soul. The law and prophets are fulfilled and the name of YHVH is sanctified in the presence of Israel. In my experience, this is the only thing that enables us to never want to quit again. Isa 29:23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. Lev 22:32 neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which hallow you, Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Luk 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Jhn 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. Jhn 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. Act 4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. Yitro-This parsha deals with the father in Law of Moses, Jethro who helped Moses figure out a way to delegate responsibility to others in order to free Moses up for the things he himself was commissioned to do. My own experience with this principle is limited even to this day and I am 57 years old. It was always easier to do things myself than to teach others how to do them and that included my own children. I have caused great suffering in this area for my children and for myself. I am grateful my husband was trained well by his foster parents or I would have been left to do it all. In recent years my body won’t let me keep this kind of control over most of my circumstances and for that I am grateful, but I wish I could have learned it earlier so it could have brought some benefit to others. Jethro is considered both in derogatory and praiseworthy terms. The first, “priest of Midian” (contention) is the derogatory title, while the second “father-in-law of Moses” is considered praiseworthy. Like Israel coming out of Egypt, Israel in turn needed to have Egypt taken out of Israel. Contention and strife may have been a danger to Jethro unless he grew along with Israel at a pace designed by God for their ultimate success. I was given the “power” to succeed by the Holy Spirit once my soul was taken out of Egypt “the second time” when God makes a highway out of Egypt…Isa 11:16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. Isa 19:23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. (Revelation has shown me Assyria is the “code” for Christianity in the Old Testament). Isaiah 19:19, The LORD says, Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, (we are God’s workmanship in Christ Jesus) and Israel my inheritance. Finally, I will give Hosea 2……Hsa 2:14 ¶ Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. Hsa 2:15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor (tribulation) for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. Hsa 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, [that] thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. Hsa 2:17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name......down to verse 19... Hsa 2:19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. Hsa 2:20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. Hsa 2:21 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; and verse 23.... Hsa 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them which were] not my people, Thou [art] my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God. Mishpatim-This parsha refers to setting a slave free after six years of service. This commandment is given right after the Jews are given the ten commandments God wants them to keep forever. Aish’s Adam Lieberman discusses how everyone wants to be free from something in their lives and this desire is ingrained no matter how fearful we become of being free, and having the responsibility of making it on our own. God’s law shows us that he cares for us instead of hoping we only learn through our mistakes. The Christian concept of “grace” can become a permissive attitude for spoiled children and I understand this permissiveness to be unkind towards those who depend on us the most for guidance. Yet the true meaning of grace is not that God says, live and learn, but that he writes his law in our heart and mind so that we want to do them out of our own motivation and desire. The reason God allows us to know the law even though we are unable to keep the law is to show us right from wrong. Yet when God him-self in us keeps the law in us, then he is showing his great love towards us while we are yet sinners. God himself paid the penalty for lawlessness in Christ, but he didn’t leave us without fault and still lawless. We would keep doing the same thing over and over again if God didn’t put the power in us to obey him. The good news is that God didn’t do this till we ourselves realize we need him to help us do all that he wants us to do. It is one thing to want to do and to be able to do. If we want to do, God will enable us to do. If we don’t want to do, we will be made to do if our appointed time comes to be judged. Yet even here God is good enough to send the spirit of Elijah to enable us to put our hands to the plough and stop looking back at the world, at Egypt or any other nation we are exiled in. Ephraim shall ride, Judah shall plough and Jacob shall break his clods. The desire shall ride, the Praise of God- his “will joined to him” shall plough, and Jacob (our soul) shall break up the clods of the earth deep within us so the seed can fall into “good ground” and bring forth the 30 (Lamed-teacher) 60 (Samech-wedding ring, circle within a circle-the joining of Israel and God), and 100-fold (Qoph-when all desires enter into the sheepfold). Teruma-This Torah portion is about building the tabernacle in the wilderness: Unlike the tithe that would later be paid to Levi, God wanted all the people to contribute to building this portable tabernacle in the wilderness: "...from every man whose heart motivates him...." (Exodus 25:2) This method of contribution is mirrored in the New Testament when Paul says….2Cr 9:6 ¶ But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2Cr 9:7 every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2Cr 9:8 And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work: Adam Leiberman of Aish asks, “Why should the heart motivate, instead of the brain”? Adam Leiberman explains the conflict between the heart and brain is one of desire for giving and “protection” for one’s own survival via “logic” of the brain. In the Bible we read “the heart is wicked above all things, who can know it”? Jer 17:9 ¶ The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jer 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his labor….. Jesus explains in the parable of the “sower”, Mat 13:19 when any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. The question that arises is how can these two ideas be reconciled? How can God trust the heart to give and yet tell us not to trust the heart? In my own experience, before my soul was taken out of Egypt, the heart was ruled by the “spirit of the world” (antichrist) but once my “will” (spirit) was joined to Christ, it became “one will”, hence my heart now had the perfect law of liberty engrafted here, and this was able to renew my mind, my reasoning, logic as well. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Since the law is written in the mind as the mouth confesses it from the new heart, the Word in my mouth establishes a new heaven/heart and a new earth/mind. Now my heart can be trusted to follow the “good will” of God that rules it. God’s law and his love are one-echad in him. Now my mind is a servant that will not overrule the heart that understands knowledge (union) of God. The tabernacle in the wilderness is my new heart and mind, based on Gods pure will in me. We become the “house of living stones” God builds up in us during our sanctification process in the wilderness. Israel then is able to be a light for the nations/gentile/mindset in the world. Israel’s branches are able to bear fruit and the leaves on the tree are for the healing of the nations. Jews teach that the mishkan (tabernacle) in the wilderness has 613 parts (as the laws) which also correlate to the 613 parts of the body. The goal of building the temple is to integrate all the parts, (members) into “one whole” as the body with its many members is “one”. Tetzaveh-This parsha is about the “priest’s clothing”. God wants those who have ‘wisdom’ to make the clothing. Exd 28:3 And thou shalt speak unto all [that are] wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. Judaism teaches how the garment parts atone for certain sins. The cloak for murder, pants to cover/atone for nakedness and immorality, the hat atones for pride, sash atones for illicit thoughts of the heart, breastplateatones for false and corrupt judgments, the apron atones for idolatry, the robe for lashon hara, (negative and evil speech), the tzitz atones for brazenness: Understanding the symbolism of the garment, reminds the Jew about the law of God and what he should consider in all these areas of his life. Only a soul filled with wisdom is able to “make the clothing” the right(eous) way. Jesus had an inner garment (Christ) that was not divided at the cross where the Roman soldiers cast lots for his garment/covering. The outer garment they divided into four parts, showing the four levels of making “man” in Gods image and likeness. God takes the Spirit (Christ) and the “soul” who brings him forth (the body God prepared) and together, God “Forms” the Spirit to make that soul “Man”, and his name is Jesus (combination of his body/elect and his head-God). Jesus garments are covering of light that atones for all our sin. The four levels of the soul (emanation, creation, formation and manifestation) I believe are these four parts of one outer garment of Jesus. The emanation is the inner light that will create a new creation by forming the “Spirit” to manifest Man on earth as God is in heaven, i.e. God’s image and likeness, the temple, tabernacle God will live in. Ki-Tisa-This parsha is about Moses time with God in the mountain, leaving Israel distressed enough to get Aaron to build the golden calf. Adam Leiberman of Aish says something worth repeating. One who hears what another says, takes what he hears and relates it to himself. A listener on the other hand is able to consider the speaker as well. On a deeper level this parsha also discusses the “copper basin” the priests (Kohanim) use to wash their hands before performing temple services. The water in the basin is a symbol of “teshuvah’ in Judaism, (repentance, returning to God). The copper aspect of the basin (nechosheth) is also found in the word snake (nachash) which is compared to the “yetzer hora” (evil inclination). The message is simple; when one touches the basin; they first remember the snake and then the solution, the clean water or repentance to wash away sin or as the Rabbi said “mistakes”. The parsha also includes how God will destroy Israel in the twinkling of an eye (rega) when he rises up in them, and yet they are spared. I know the meaning of this from experience. I saw the “golden looking” copper snake lifted up before my eye. I was crucified with Christ, the living water. I touched both the serpent and the water of the Word that he is to cleanse my hands and heart and all that is within me from all double-mindednes. Aish does a commentary on Rashi and his statement that Israel desired many gods, whereas Hashem is one and his name is “one”. HaShem means “the name” that the Jew uses for God. I understand what he meant when he said this. Everything we desire can become a god to us; everything that we put ahead of the true God will in turn enslave us as a god. It is also written in Psalm 86 that “he called them “gods” and Jesus added, he called them gods to whom the oracles of God came. Israel may have wanted to see themselves as gods since Moses was made a god to the people. In Christianity we read, Satan is the “god of this world”, hence the spirit of antichrist. Satan is a liar from the beginning and a murderer since we all died in the “first Adam”. To overcome the affect of the serpent, Jesus lifts him up, and says, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me”. The serpent is the crooked “will” of all men that needs to be lifted up and made straight through the power of the cross. It is written, “Each man in his own order” is made alive in the “Last Adam”, Jesus Christ. The order is set and no man knows his hour but God. Jesus said be ready always. God will come suddenly into his temple (our soul) and he will “kill” and make alive, in the twinkling of an eye. Vayakhel-This parsha (gathered together) is about keeping Shabbat. During the building of the Mishkan (tabernacle) Israel had to stop building when Sabbath arrived. The concept of “gathering the people” together is the purpose of the Sabbath. This parsha also discusses “Betzalel” (in the shadow of God) and how he was commissioned to build the tabernacle and the “ark”. God filled him with wisdom and understanding and knowledge so he could do it right. The discussion continues with whether it was it the ark or tabernacle that was to be built first. The conclusion, some people get direct wisdom from God and this helps them to do right and others have to clean themselves up to merit the wisdom. In my own experience I needed to understand earthly things first so that heavenly things could be reveled to me. Why did I need to face my earthly problems first, my psychology? I was a seeker of wisdom and knowledge, which I put ahead of obedience to God just like Adam and Eve and the serpent, put knowledge ahead of obedience. Once I received the wisdom of God, I was able to put obedience to God first (seek ye first the Kingdom and his righteousness) and then this wisdom led me to understand and know whatever I needed to know for both worlds. (And all these things shall be added unto you). I was remembered (zakar) by Jehovah so I could remember him. I kept the Sabbath which is the destruction of the Old nature so I could receive the new nature. The word Sabbath comes from shabath, meaning to cease, to rest, put an end to, destroy, to remove. If I had not been crucified with Christ, my old man would not be dead to this day and the ‘body of sin’ would still be in control of my “mind” making it carnal instead of the “mind of Christ’ that is the light of wisdom we get from above. The word for ark (aron) also means “coffin” in Hebrew and that is why touching it brings death to those who should not touch it. Inside is the law –Torah (which says we are worthy of death) and Aaron’s rod (the resurrection between Aaron (John the Baptist) and Messiah (Jesus); also the manna is found here (meaning “what is it”?) the heavenly food that gives spiritual strength. Jesus said he was the true bread from heaven: if we eat his flesh and drink his blood (spiritually speaking) we shall never die. What does this mean? His flesh (bread) is meat indeed. The Word of God is his flesh. The blood is the “Holy Spirit” that runs through our spiritual veins making the ‘spiritual word’ come alive in us. Life is in the blood. For me, life was needed to change the motivation for my behavior. I could change my behavior before I received this life, but it never stayed changed for long. Pekudei-This parsha discusses metals used for the building process of the ark and tabernacle. Gold represented the “holy” work. Silver was used for the sockets of the sanctuary and copper the sockets in the courtyard. In Revelation, Jesus tells Laodecia (people in judgment) to buy of him gold tried by fire, eyesalve so they can see and white robes to cover their nakedness. We know the white robes represent the righteousness of the saints. The eyesalve is to glue the eye together with Gods eyes: To see as he sees. The gold (Word-love) tried by fire is to rid it of all misconception of the “Word” within us. The word for silver in Hebrew permutes to the word for “desire”; I see silver as our desires that have to be cleaned from the blackness, darkness that settles on silver when it is exposed to oxygen. Copper has already been discussed but it is also a symbol of judgment, and the snake (crooked will-serpent) has already been judged by the cross. My experience of the cross made this “real and powerful” in my soul. The parsha discussion continues on the importance of “people’s contribution” in a project of any kind, especially this project of building the temple. Whatever metal you give to help build, it is important since all are needed. Moses took the tabernacle apart and rebuilt it showing that even if we fall apart, we have to get up and continue working on ourselves. A righteous man may fall seven times but he gets up again. I want to add my understanding of this act. Moses showed that this tabernacle is not permanent. The permanent one will be built by God when Messiah is revealed within the soul. Four months after arriving at Sinai Moses teaches the people God’s law. Rashi says Moses descended with the “second tablets” on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). I understand this to mean, the second time we receive the law within our own heart, it will be when we truly receive the atonement. My experience of the cross came on the Jewish Day of Atonement in 1992; here I was engrafted with the law into my heart and this is the “New Covenant” the better way to receive the law. Eventually in time it was able to renew my shattered mind as well. The writer of the parsha asks, why does Moses discuss the importance of the Sabbath again after he already explained it earlier? The Sabbath was not just a ‘rest” for Gods people (going from their works to Gods rest in them), but it was also a “sign’ between God and Israel. Whoever does any work on that day shall surely be put to death. After the “sin of the golden calf” which came after the first tablets were written by the finger of God, Moses continues with the discussion of the Sabbath from the second tablets. The first account of the tablets says “to remember” the Sabbath, but the second says to “keep” (safeguard) the Sabbath day. Once it is remembered, don’t let your “rest” slip away from you: Since Israel dies to remember and live, it is best to safeguard the “rest” of God after “entering” therein. Walk in the newness and freedom with which you are made free. Day 101 Torah portions from Leviticus Vayikra- (to call) This Torah portion discusses the responsibility of the leader (priest) to atone for the people’s sins. Once they understand the people they lead, they will see where they themselves fall short in teaching and helping the people to stay on track. People (children in particular) will always follow actions of their leaders instead of the words the leaders tell them to follow. Jesus said he chose his disciples, they didn’t choose him. God chose Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt. God is the ultimeate leader. Jesus said many are called but few are chosen. The chosen or elect are those who are willing to be changed-transformed by the call. Jesus Christ (God manifest in our flesh) took all responsibility for his creation by giving them the atonement they need to cover their sins. Yet he also gives himself in the soul to lead it to all righteousness. God takes responsibility to the point of becoming “one” with his creation and he does this “in Messiah/Christ”. The parsha also discusses the different ways God calls (vayikra vrs. Vayikar): The difference in the spelling alludes to a different “intent” in the call. One is of affection and another of judgment. I understand this difference to be expressed within us as well. The old man in us is judged through the cross, but this judgment also leads to the “better resurrection”, thereby making out of ‘twain” (2 men) one “new man” in Christ Jesus. The soul gets the benefit of judgment while the old man gets the destruction, but in the most loving way possible. The old man is joined to Messiah to make him a “new man” in this fire baptism of the “will”/spirit. Here is how God takes away the enmity he put between the seed of the serpent (carnal mind) and the seed of the woman Israel (Jesus Christ). The cross removes the enmity between the soul (heart and mind) and the will in us all. We will be whole, (holy) as God intended us to be once he fulfills his law in us by writing it in the heart and mind. Tzav-This parsha discusses the flesh that touches contaminated things. It will be burned by fire. Adam Leiberman of Aish explains how influenced we are by our surroundings. In my own experience, the law written within the heart is a fire that burns in our bones/substance to purify us from all contamination or sin. God is so thorough at the time of judgment/gevurah that he doesn’t leave anything in us that could contaminate our future happiness and joy. What good is to be saved because we sin, and not be saved “from” sin? This is why the first covenant is faulty with God: He prepared the “new thing” the new covenant for our hearts and minds and not just our eyes and ears where they are quickly forgotten. The Holy Spirit in us burns away all flesh that touched the contaminated “dead thing”, the first Adam in whom we all died. Once we are free from sin, we will not be influenced by anothers bad company. Yet we should not fool ourselves into thinking we are free unless we truly are no longer influenced to sin no matter where we find ourselves in life. This parsha also discusses the “korban todah” the thanksgiving sacrifice in the temple that one is saved from sin. Jews say the Modeh Ani prayer expressed each morning: "I am thankful before You, Living and Everlasting King, that you returned my life to me with mercy. Great is your faithfulness!" The word Chayim (life) is an acronym for four types of “releases” the Jews are thankful for; the four releases are from jail, from illness, from the sea and from the dessert: I see these as freedom from the bondage of the “carnal mind” (jail) from illness of the body that often comes from wrong thinking of the carnal mind but also from the “sea” or emotions that toss us to and fro. Freedom from the dessert is the freedom within areas of our wilderness experience where we go places within our brain we have never been before. God keeps us free within this experience by leading us and “keeping us” while we are in this wilderness experience. The good news is the wilderness becomes the “Promised Land” when we are no longer unfamiliar with Gods leading within us. It becomes Zion, the New Jerusalem within that will bring Gods good will to earth as it is in heaven. Shmini-This Torah Parsha discusses “kosher” animals. If an animal has split hooves and brings up its’ own cud it is kosher. If it only has one of these characteristics it is not. The message is one must know what goes on without and within the animal, not just on the outside. Since all animals represent desires within our own nature (which is called the animal nature in Hebrew, the “nephesh soul”), the clean animals represent kosher desires; the inside and outside are both both kosher. Another topic of this Torah portion is Nadab (generous-spontaneous-liberal) and Abihu (he is my father), both Aaron’s sons, who were killed by bringing a strange sacrifice (fire) before God. The next verse after the act of destruction says……Lev 10:3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This [is it] that the LORD Spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. What on earth does that mean? I discern the way God works in the regeneration. John the Baptist who was filled with the fire of God, the Holy Spirit from the womb, was from the tribe of Aaron. John saw Jesus at the Jordan (descender) and asked to be baptized by him, but Jesus said he wanted John to baptize him instead. John didn’t understand since he was given the revelation that “Jesus Christ” was the “Lamb that takes away the Sin of the whole world”. (A strange fire indeed for Jews). Once John did baptize Jesus so Jesus could fulfill all righteousness, (he fulfilled the law and prophets), John knew that he must decrease so Jesus Christ could increase (within him). The beheading of John represents the removal of the “carnal mind” so the tribe of Aaron/Levi could receive the “heart circumcision” that would give them a new mind filled with the law from the “inside out”. Jesus said those who had entered the Kingdom were greater than John for that reason. One can not enter the Kingdom with their “old head”, the head ruled by law instead of grace. The next verse Moses calls Mishael (who is what God is) and Elizaphan (whom God protects) and Uzziel (my strength is God) the Uncle of Aaron (light bearer) and said to them, come near and carry your brethren from before the sancturary out of the camp. I am moved to include the following chapter in Hebrews 13 and begin with verse 8.... Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hbr 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. Hbr 13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. Hbr 13:11 for the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Hbr 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Hbr 13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Hbr 13:14 for here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Hbr 13:15 by him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name. Hbr 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Hbr 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is] unprofitable for you. (For those of us in the New Covenant, that one whohas watch over our souls is Jesus Christ the Great Shepherd of our soul). Hbr 13:18 ¶ Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. The strange fire is where God consumes the whole sacrifice and God will be sanctified in them who draw near to him and in these he will be glorified before all the people. Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever was consumed by the strange fire because he drew near to God and in him God is glorified before all the people. The high priest needed this sacrifice and paid 30 pieces of silver for it to Judas/Judah who alone knew where this sacrifice would be found and still is the only one who knows where to find Jesus. Zec 11:7 ¶ And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty (no'am-plasant, delightful, favor), and the other I called Bands (chabal-to bind, pledge, bring forth travail, be ruined); and I fed the flock. Zec 11:8 three shepherds also I cut off in one month; (and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. Zec 11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. Zec 11:10 And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. Zec 11:11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD. Zec 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver. Zec 11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. Zec 11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. Mat 26:14 ¶ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, Mat 26:15 And said [unto them], What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. Mat 26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray (give) him. Mat 27:3 ¶ Then Judas, which had betrayed (paradidomai-gave) him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Mat 27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that]. Mat 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Mat 27:6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. Mat 27:7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Mat 27:8 wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. Mat 27:9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; Mat 27:10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. The potter is God himself who gives the atonement when the strange part of us is sacrificed, the “sin” in us that must be consumed. Jesus became sin for Israel so Israel and the whole world, all those who are grafted into Israel, could become the “righteousness of God” in Christ/Messiah. Judah was chosen/elected to bear both the birth of Christ and the entering of Satan to give Christ to the high priest, so the exchange of priesthoods and “covenants” could be made. Satan thought it for evil, but God meant it for the good of all mankind. Judah would be the first to hang (on the tree) with Jesus, the first tribe gathered to receive the “grace” poured out on Israel, each man in his own order. Tazria-This parsha discusses the “cleansing of women” afer childbirth. I discern this to be the sanctification of the woman (Israel) in the wilderness after she brings forth the “Man-child”; It is written our righteousness is like filthy rags to God, but the word filthy is like meunstrating rags: why use such an analogy? God said why would Israel not want to live? In other words, why would she not bring forth “life” since the woman (Israel) is saved in childbearing. Paul explains how he was taken to Paradise to “know” the man Jesus, be joined to Jesus, but he also went to Arabia (wilderness) and then after 14 years of sanctification, twice as long as Israel was told, (for both the spirit and soul) was sent back to the gentiles to bring this good news, the gospel that God had fulfilled in him; the promise God made to all Abraham’s descendants. Abraham would become the “father of many nations” and not just Israel, and God would accomplish this feat by sifting Israel among the nations (within the gentile nature) and saving them together once they brought forth the ‘first-fruits” of their new creation, Christ. The law told the woman who brings forth the child to bring sheep (desires for God) or two turtle-doves to be sanctified. Israel is the "dove" in exile, wandering throughout the nations. Once the Holy Spirit fills Israel, they will be one with Jesus Christ their King. Isa 59:9 ¶ Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, [but] we walk in darkness. Isa 59:10 we grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if [we had] no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; [we are] in desolate places as dead [men]. Isa 59:11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but [there is] none; for salvation, [but] it is far off from us. Isa 60:8 Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves Mat 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables (of law) of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, Hsa 7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria (Christianity). Hsa 11:11 they shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD. Mat 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mar 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: Luk 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Jhn 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. Luk 2:21 ¶ And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Luk 2:22 ¶ And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present [him] to the Lord; Luk 2:23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male (zakar-male remembered) that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) Luk 2:24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. Turtledoves (trygon-from truzo-to murmur, dull sound; from trizo-to make a shrill cry, to gnash or grind teeth); two young (nossos-from neo-recently born, new), pigeons (peristera-dove). Mary brought sacrifice to reveal both the “old covenant”written on stone and the New Covenat written in the heart”. The parsha according to Aish continues, if a woman gives less than she is able, the atonement and cleansing does not occur. If Israel holds back from giving all that she needs to sacrifice within herself, the atonement can not be given. God tells Israel to seek him with the whole heart, soul and strength. Any less will not give them the full redemption they seek for so long. Metzorah-This parsha is all about the Mikveh, the family purity rituals discussed in the Taharat Hamishpacha. A mikveh must be established before a synagogue can be built within a Jewish community. The woman (soul) must purify herself in this water baptism that is a purification method according to the Jews. The writer of this parsha states that the word “tameh’ has nothing to do with uncleaness (which is what a woman is said to be when she is in her time of the month). Tameh means one has had contact with death. The ritual of the Mikveh is about spiritual rebirth or of a newborn leaving the watery womb. The separation between husband (spirit) and wife (soul) is to increase the desire between them. Jhn 2:1 ¶ And the third day there was a marriage in Cana (place of reeds, from Hebrew qaneh-reed, balances, measuring rod, beam, branches for the lampstands, shoulder-joint; from qanah-to get, aquire, buy, posses, God redeeming his people)….this marriage is in Cana of Galilee (folding door where Jesus will meet with his disciples after he is risen); and the mother of Jesus was there: Jhn 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. Jhn 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jhn 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come. Jhn 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it]. (Israel is the mother of Jesus when she brings forth the "Man-child": She turns to the servant (mind) and tells the mind to do whatsoever Jesus says to do, do it. Jesus called his mother woman (soul), stating his hour for turning water (of the word) into the wine (of the Holy Spirit) had not come yet. Jhn 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone (hearts who don't have the law within them yet; still dead; sons (ben) are called stones (eben- in Hebrew), after the manner of the purifying (katharismos 1) a cleansing, purification, a ritual of the Jews before and after their meals b) of levitical purification of women after childbirth c) a cleansing from the guilt of sins wrought by the expiatory sacrifice of Christ) these stone pots contained two or three firkins apiece. Firkin (from the root metero-to measure off, space, distance with a reed or rule, judge according to rule or standard, to measure or meet out, give by measure: I want to add the following scripture that talks about the "measure" and how it is used for us: Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Eph 4:17 ¶ This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Rev 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. (The measure of love) Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. Back to John 2: Jhn 2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. There was some measure of water in the pots, but Jesus wanted them "filled" to the brim: (ano-upwards, on HIGH, to the quarters of heaven, northward, of time- formerly).Jhn 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare [it]. The word bear is very interesting: Phero (Hebrew naca) means 'to carry a burden, bear with oneself, to move by bearing, to be conveyed with the suggestion of force or speed, of a gust of wind, to rush, of the mind to be moved INWARDLY, prompted, to bear up, uphold, keep from falling, of Christ, the preserver of the Universe, endure the rigor of a thing, be patient, bring forward, announce by bringing, Jhn 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew ;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom; Why did the servants know? They did whatever Jesus told them to do: The ruler of the feast didn't know from where this wine (Holy Spriit) came from. Who is the master of the feast? Israel are the keepers of the "feasts" of Jerusalem, and Jews in particular. They call the bridegroom: Who is the bridegroom? John the Baptist from the tribe of Aaron/Levi explains: Jhn 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. Jhn 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this joy therefore is fulfilled. Jhn 3:30 He must increase, but I [must] decrease. Back to John 2...... Jhn 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: [but] thou hast kept the good wine until now. The good wine is the Holy Spirit that is kept till the wedding at Cana (after three days): It comes from the water that is used to purify the Jews: The Holy Spirit comes from the Water of the Word made spiritual by Christ. Acharei Mot-This Torah Parsha discusses the “why” behind the law. Torah laws can not be changed, but rabbinic laws (to help protect Torah laws) can be changed by a Rabbi. Another article from Aish by Rabbi Aba Wagensberg, discusses how God wanted Israel to be separate from the nations so they would not pick up on their immoral behaviors. The Rabbi continues that avoiding immorality alone is not enough, but Israel was to engage in “permitted physical activities”. The separation between immoral and holy then is more about what you do good, instead of just “not” doing something bad. Holiness is about “separation” of evil and good, which is what Messiah will do in us when we bring him forth or merit Messiah as the Jews say. Christ is the “end” which is really the word fulfillment of the law. Once we experience Christ, the law is in our heart, able to guide us intrinsically without the outer rituals of touch not, taste not, etc. Till Christ is in us however, the New Testament says we are still under the law, which is why we are all considered dead since the law has already judged us lawbreakers, sinners. The man of lawlessness in us, the antichrist spirit is what must come out of us; hence Jesus said it is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes “out of him”. The whole world is ruled by this spirit, even those who do not sin according to Adam’s transgression. Jews do not consider themselves as part of the nations, but they are waiting for Mashiach even as Christians are and they will know when Mashiach is here: Nobody will wonder when they truly have this experience of the Messiah within them. It is written, and “they shall know that I am the LORD”: (Knowing again denotes UNION). The Knowledge of God is beyond an emotional response to him, but it empowers the soul to walk in the light as he is in the Light. It enables the soul to be separate from the world without ritual or fanfare but from a heart motivated by the law, which is spiritual (moved by God in us) and not a carnal ordinance. The proof that I offer of how the law works when it is “from the heart” instead of the letter only is that I was a food addict all my adult life. I weighed over 400 lbs for over a decade. My addiction came from childhood abuse and I could never overcome it from within, even though I lost over 100 lbs six times in my adult life. After my atonement experience it took years to be sanctified in my heart and mind, but whatever gains I made, I never lost once the gains were truly established in me: When we are transformed from the inside out, it is completely different from when we act or behave from the outside (God looks to the heart, men look at the actions only. Once the ‘manifestation” took hold, I was given freedom from my addiction and lost 200 lbs without dieting or giving up any particular food. Only after I lost the weight did I give up meat but that was a moral decision based on my compassion for the way animals are kept and slaughtered period. The inner Torah (law from the inside of the heart, based on a good will given to us by God, by HaShem through his Mashiach/Christ) works in every situation that is necessary to walk in this world once our heart is made new by his righteous Spirit within it. Kedoshim-This Torah Parsha discusses laws for a fulfilled life. Adam Leiberman of Aish.com gives us Leviticus 19:32, in the presence of an old person you shall rise. There is much to be said for respecting one’s elders in any community or ethnos because of the experience and suffering they have endured; but I believe this scripture has a spiritual meaning and therefore is wonderful to me. In this chapter of Leviticus the LORD tells Moses to tell Israel “ye shall be holy, for I the LORD your God is holy”. Lev 19:33 ¶ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. The stranger in the land is the gentile nature that is grafted within Israel’s branches so they could be raised up together, Romans 11. Lev 19:34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God. The word 'rise up" quwn also means to 'stand', arise, be fixed, endure, be proven, fulfilled, persist, become powerful, confirmed, established. The word for old person is seybah-"hoary" head: It is also used in the following scripture: Psa 92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age (seybah); they shall be fat and flourishing; Psa 92:15 To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in him. Psa 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Psa 92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. Psa 92:14 they shall still bring forth fruit in old age (seybah); they shall be fat and flourishing; Psa 92:15 To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in him. Pro 16:31 The hoary head (seybah)[is] a crown of glory, (tipharah)[if] it be found in the way of righteousness (tsedaqah). Pro 20:27 The spirit of man (nashama-divine soul of every Jew) [is] the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Pro 20:28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. Pro 20:29 The glory of young men [is] their strength: and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head. Isa 46:3 ¶ Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are carried from the womb: Isa 46:4 And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoar hairs (seybah) will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear (nasa); even I will carry, and will deliver [you]. The word for bear, nasa also gives us the clue of what deliverance (malat) of Jacob entails. It has the same meaning as harpazo in Greek, which is where Paul was lifted up to the third heaven. It means take away, carry, take, lift up, bear up, be exalted, borne, carried away, support, aided, assisted, to desire, bear continuously; The word malat-deliver also has a similar meaning, to slip away, escape, give birth to, speedily, surely, get away. The phrase "old man" is used first of Abraham, of Jacob, but also of Samuel, Jesse, Zacharias, Father of John the Baptist; 1Sa 2:27 ¶ And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house? 1Sa 2:28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel? 1Sa 2:29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people? 1Sa 2:30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 1Sa 2:31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house. 1Sa 2:32 And thou shalt “see an enemy [in my] habitation”, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever. The enemy they shall see is the antichrist, the man of lawlessness, the man of sin. 1Sa 2:33 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age. 1Sa 2:34 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni (fistful) and Phinehas (mouth of a serpent); in one day they shall die both of them. 1Sa 2:35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall do according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever. 1Sa 2:36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread. Now I will give three scriptures that speak of the 'old man" in the New Testament. Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Col 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; The New Testament/covenant that is within the law of the heart makes a "new man" in Christ Jesus: We all died in the first Adam (the true old man) and we will all be made alive in the "Last Adam"(man), beginning with Judah and Israel as that "new man" in Christ Jesus that is built up by the prophecy poured out on all flesh. The young men shall see visions and the "old men" shall dream dreams: Joe 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: The young man is the “man-child” that is born from the union of the old man and Christ, being crucified with Christ so the “body of sin” can be destroyed. There will be a new dream that comes from the regeneration: A dream Israel has been waiting for a long long time. Psa 126:1 ¶ [[A Song of degrees.]] When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Psa 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. Psa 126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; [whereof] we are glad. Psa 126:4 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. Psa 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Psa 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him]. A Psalm of Acaph (Joseph) Psalm 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. Psa 73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children. Psa 73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me; Psa 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end. Psa 73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. Psa 73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment (REGA)! they are utterly consumed with terrors. Psa 73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. Psa 73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. Psa 73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee. Psa 73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand. Psa 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory. Psa 73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee. Psa 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Psa 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. Psa 73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. Emor- This Torah Parsha deals with the ‘anonymous gift”: Adam Leiberman gives the scripture ….When you reap the harvest from your land, you shall not remove ... the corners of your field... For the poor ... shall you leave them ..." (Lev. 23:23)….and adds, God has given us the capacity for extreme pleasure when we are self sufficient. Anonymous giving keeps the receiver from experiencing the opposite, which is shame that they are not self sufficient. Giving anonymously is being a ‘go-between’ God and the receiver of the gift. The parsha deals with the mitzvah (good deed) of the “Omer” that involves counting seven weeks from Passover to Shevout. Brought the second day after Passover, the unexplained “Omer” must be a “wave” offering before God. Consisting of barley an animal food, the Omer contrasts to the “wheat offering” that is given on Shevout. The writer explains the time from Passover to Shevout is a time of transforming from an animal to a person (as we saw in Psalms 73 above); to elevate the baser desires to more elevated desires that consider a more spiritually led existence. The waving of the offering represents a shaking off of these layers of self interest and materialsm. Omer includes a list of holidays (mo’adim) which are really translated “appointed times” and I know these to be the time we are visited by God so judgment can begin for Israel within the gentile nature. Judgment must begin first with the “house of God” for that reason. The heart must be judged so it can bring light to the gentile part of our nature, which is the renewing of the “mind” by the law written in the heart. How is the law written therein? The Righteous Spirit God puts in us to lead us and this is Christ in us to “form Man”, to make the “New Man” and a “new creature”. Judaism teaches that there are four levels of correcting the soul, (tikkun); atzilut (emanation) Beria (creation) yetzria (formation) and asiyah (manifestation). The highest level goes along with the level of Messiah, whom God uses to recreate us by forming a new “man” out of the old lump, person. The four levels are written all over the Bible, but for this parsha, I will include the four riders in the book of Revelation. Rev 6:1 ¶ And I saw when the Lamb (pure will of God) opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, come and see. Rev 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: (spirit) and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (I spoke of this horseman earlier so I will not comment much except to say here is the "rider" (will) that is given the crown of life (mind of Christ) and he has a bow (first resurrection). The word for bow-toxon is from tikto-to bring forth, to bear, produce fruit, of a woman giving birth, the earth bringing forth its fruit). He is told to conquer and go forth conquering. I explained this is the Spirit of Christ given to the soul who has received her crown of life. (Zayin-7th Hebrew letter, the woman of valor); the mind of Christ in the soul will make her “Man” (the image and likeness of God). Rev 6:3 ¶ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse [that was] red (Adam-old man’s spirit is the serpent/Satan): and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. I see the old spirit of Adam who is in the first resurrection; he is the old spirit that must be taken to the cross to become a “new man” in Christ. He follows the birth of Christ because in the resurrection we see the "just and unjust" made alive. The peace that came with Christ is going to be taken away by the antichrist spirit. Just as they are saying Peace and safety, sudden destruction will come and they will not be able to escape. Rev 6:5 ¶ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Now this horse is black, which represents the void, the emptiness of the heart which is the house of God. Here we see the balances (weighing and judgment) of the third seal being opened. He says a 'measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny, but don't hurt the oil (anointing) and wine (Holy Spirit) that is part of that soul. I need to say judgment comes to correct, which means destroy evil but keep the good. The three levels of correction (barley to wheat) is from the animal soul till we get to the "New Man" or the "mensch" as is said in Judaism. Man is not male or female, but "Both" together again as One force. Jesus said they were one from the begining and the writ of divorce was only given by Moses for the 'heardness of the heart" (stony heart that lives by the law outside of it and not within the heart where it rules him instead of the soul trying to rule over the law.) Rev 6:7 ¶ And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. Rev 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. The pale horse or death is the end of the old man, who is now crucified with Christ so the "body of sin" can be destroyed as well. Here we see "hell" follow him because we are looking at the 'earth' and no longer at heaven. The apostle Paul was sent back to the gentile nature after he stopped kicking against the pricks of the sacrifice made for him. Here we too must bring the new heavens down to the earth (Israel is a light to the nations once they are redeemed) to make a new earth where righteousness dwells. The fourth part of the earth is the fourth part of recreation that begins with sword (Word of God) hunger (for righteousness) and death (experience of being crucified with Christ) and beasts of the earth (animal desires). Rev 6:9 ¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled. In the book of Zechariah we don't begin with the "white horse and the rider with the crown of bow" but with the red horse instead. Zec 1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that [were] in the bottom; and behind him [were there] red horses, speckled, (saruq-reddish, tawny) and white. (These were behind; part red but also white/clean). It was during the night (the daystar had not yet risen in the heart): The Myrtle tree (Hadac) is Esthers name and we know she is a Jew in exile. It was on the bottom (metsullah-ravine, basin, hollow place near Jerusalem): I see the underworld, the darkness within us revealed as it happened to me: Jews also call this the tzimtzum or retraction of Gods light on his people. The root of metsullah is tsalal-to become dark, shadow, identical with "hovering over". When Judah goes into darkness, the Holy Spirit hovers to bring life to the virgin of Israel to save her soul and everyone that is connected to Israel. Zec 1:9 Then said I, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these [be]. Zec 1:10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These [are they] whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. Zec 1:11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. (Shaqat-peace of the land, tranquil, still, undisturbed, quiet). Zec 1:12 ¶ Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years? Zec 1:13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me [with] good words [and] comfortable words. Zec 1:14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. Zec 1:15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen [that are] at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. Zec 1:16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. Zec 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. Behar-This Torah portion is about lending without interest when it comes to another Jew. Rabbi Aba Wagensberg explains Psalms 22:2 “A rich man and a poor man meet; all together, they make God (oseh kulam Hashem)"! [God's Name is spelled out in the verse]. In other words, the encounter between the giver and the recipient of tzedakah enables the two people to form the Name of God”. Rabbi Wagensberg continues with something that should make us all think even deeper about this fact of the rich man giving to the poor man (which shows us how God works with his creation even without being asked). The Rabbi says…..The word "maskil" comes from the word "sechel," meaning "intelligence." A person, who gives tzedakah without intelligence, by waiting until he is asked, creates the energy of death and destruction in the world. A person who gives with intelligence, however, and is ready to reach out his hand to the poor before he is asked for assistance, creates the Name of God in the world, which brings the energy of life and health. I have made many of these parshas a lot longer than I planned, but this one seems to be shorter than the others. I can’t add anything intelligent here except to say Jesus came through the Jew to redeem the Jew without them ‘knowing” it ahead of time. I didn’t know I needed salvation till my visitation. I just thought I needed to be nicer and stronger and a more resourceful and disciplined person. God reached out to me before I knew how much I needed him. He allowed me to repent without the realization that he was giving me this power through the “spirit of Elijah”. He sent Christ after I was much more ready to receive him than I ever was before this event in my life. If God had not initiated everything I would not have known how to go about all my well laid plans. I tried so often to do things right or at least better than I had prior, but it never panned out for me. I was poor in spirit but Jesus said, “Theirs is the Kingdom of heaven”. Here God meets the poor man who is dressed in camels skin (John in us-blessed of Yah who also wears a leather-animal girdle) and gives us the Spirit that will prepare us to receive Christ and his baptism by fire. God at every turn walks ahead of his people and when his people finally “know” him in this walk, they walk in the light as he is in the light and nothing will stumble them anymore. God can give us the ‘heart’ to help others and when our heart is new, God will give us the means Bechukotai-This Torah Portion speaks to our role and responsibility for correcting the world. The Torah speaks of the judgments that will follow if Israel does not walk in the ways, laws and commandments of haShem, (God) from illness to exile. The antidote to these judgments is to study Torah till the presence of God becomes manifest on the earth. The truest meaning of tikkun olam (correction) is for each person to be a vessel or instrument for Gods will on earth. The parsha discusses the eleven blessings and thirty-six curses that will befall Israel if they do not keep the commandments God gave them. At this point in my journey I understand it is one thing to give something to someone vrs. “putting that thing into them” which is something only God can do. If I were to consciously break Gods law that he engrafted into my heart, I would be worse off than I was before he put the law in my heart. What about someone who is just “trying” to keep the law by ‘hearing about it” through others. From my own experience if there is no power in us (Holy Spirit) to “do” the Word, then we will keep failing eventually. Motivation is a complex thing and I don’t believe we evolve into ‘wanting” Gods will more than our own. I truly believe God must be the first to “give us” his perfect will, (rich man gives to a poor man), and that will is his perfect Lamb. With such riches we can move-act-do from the abundance of our heart and speak from it as well. How do we merit Messiah? Even here God is the first to give us a desire to seek for Messiah, so we can find him, even though it is written, he initiates everything but in such a way that we don’t realize it till we are ready to receive. What makes us ready? Answer: Seeing the “end” of ourselves and our inability to love with God’s love till he writes his laws within the heart with his finger. After I experienced the Word in me, I no longer could ease my conscience from wrong doing. I didn’t quite understand all the laws with my cognitive mind, but my heart knew what good and evil were due to the Holiness imputed into me without which no man can see the Lord. If we get fixed and corrected by the chastening God gives to his sons, we will be able to help our brother in the right way, without causing more chaos in the world. The desire to come out of any kind of exile once we experience even a little freedom becomes the ongoing desire to keep moving forward, forgetting things behind. We can only give what we truly have or we are only giving from a state of lack and wishful thinking and false hope. I believe God will honor our efforts if they are sincere, but how do we become sincere? The inner dimension of “Hod” (glory) is sincerity, and “Hod” is the left leg that stumbles, limps, (like Jacob after the angel touched him). The left leg is also our weakness wherein God must become our strength. If we are sincere, we will be given the “power to stop walking out of the way” and stop being stumbled by the sin that so easily besets us. The right leg of our new man is “netzack” (victory) because the Lord is our right side once he is our new “will”. He is our mercy and grace; He is our wisdom and understanding that brings knowledge (union) to our heart and mind (soul). Mal 2:1 ¶ And now, O ye priests, this commandment [is] for you. Mal 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay [it] to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay [it] to heart. Mal 2:3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, [even] the dung of your solemn feasts; and [one] shall take you away with it. Mal 2:4 and ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 2:5 my covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him [for] the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. Mal 2:6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. Mal 2:7 for the priest's lips should keep knowledge and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he [is] the messenger of the LORD of hosts. Mal 2:8 but ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. Mal 2:9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have “been partial in the law”. Mal 2:10 ¶ Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? Mal 2:11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. Mal 2:12 the LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. Mal 2:13 ¶ And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth [it] with good will at your hand. Mal 2:14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet [is] she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. Mal 2:15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek “a godly seed”. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. Mal 2:16 for the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for [one] covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit that ye deal not treacherously. Mal 2:17 ¶ Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied [him]? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil [is] good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where [is] the God of judgment? I want to comment on the following: Judah married the daughter of a strange god. I believe this is when Judah is married to the carnal mind (harlot) and not the soul of Israel within. Also, if the soul is not yet a widow (her old man is dead) the old man is ruled by the serpent-Satan who is the "god of this world". God will not marry the carnal mind or the soul who is ruled by the ‘crooked serpent/will”. God will not break his own laws by commiting adultery. Jesus will not marry a soul till he first destroys our old man, which is the story of David, Abigail and Nabal. The soul (Abigail) must see the problem to rid herself of her first husband but she can't ask God to kill him. She recognizes the truth of her husband’s foolishness and comes to David alone bearing gifts and repentance, requesting mercy. God will decide who is ready to become a Poor widow and fatherless: Visiting the widow and the fatherless is pure and undefiled religion. There is no room for a widow that is not really a widow so we are told make sure she is a widow indeed before the Church takes care of her. God’s sons become widows before they become 'his bride' again, before God marries his sons as a “young man’ marries his virgin. The soul must become "poor in spirit' before they become "rich in God" again. They have to give up their tithe (ten percent of their brain-substance-identity) which is the carnal mind so God can separate the soul from the spirit (of antichrist); Christ then destroys antichrist and gives the soul the 30, 60, 100-fold return that is given when God opens the windows of heaven. Hbr 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Hbr 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Hbr 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Hbr 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Hbr 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? Hbr 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness. Hbr 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Hbr 12:12 ¶ Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; Hbr 12:13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Hbr 12:14 Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Hbr 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled; Hbr 12:16 Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. Hbr 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Hbr 12:18 ¶ For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, Hbr 12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: Hbr 12:20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: Hbr 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) Hbr 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, Hbr 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, Hbr 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel. Hbr 12:25 ¶ See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven: Hbr 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. Hbr 12:27 And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Hbr 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Hbr 12:29 For our God [is] a consuming fire. Day 102----Torah portions from Numbers Bamidbar-This Torah portion discusses the difference between a manager and leader of the people. God chose only one leader per each tribe while they were in the wilderness. A leader is one who others ‘choose” to follow; otherwise the people are only managed, not led says Adam Leiberman. On that note I add that God is our leader when we choose to follow him, otherwise he is only our manager and even here, he is only as good as we allow him to be for us. Now I understand through experience that when the time comes for judgment, everything changes. We not only choose God because we see his ‘holiness’ that destroys the carnal mind and all evil; we also begin to trust that he is able to do anything and all things, and we follow him because we realize we are nothing without him, The the ‘fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Num 1:1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, (thorny-think of the crown of thorns on Jesus head-because he went to the place where the law is given within him)…. in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, Num 1:2 Take (nasa-lift, bear up, support, endure, be carried away, taken away, bear continuosly) ye the sum (rosh-head) of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of [their] names, every male by their polls; (gulgoleth-skull). It is written that Jesus went to the place that is known in the "Hebrew tongue" golgotha, the place of the skull. I perceive here is where Jesus meets with the "old man" within Israel to lift him up, take him away). I showed how this word nasa, is like the Greek word Harpazo, which is the phrase "caught up to God", raptured, and is the experience Paul had when God took him to Paradise to "know" the man (Jesus). Num 1:3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies. Num 1:4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers. God is known as the LORD of armies, tsaba. He is the one who leads in the 'Spiritual warfare" that all 'sons" have to participate in. When a soul becomes joined to the LORD she becomes a "MAN" and no longer male or female, Greek or Jew, but a New Creation never seen or heard before. I think most people who will read this book will agree they have never heard some of these things expressed in these terms before. The word skull is from galal, to roll away, roll together, flow down, seek occassion, to wallow, which is what I discern happened to the sons of God who came to live in flesh and bones (prodigal sons-the nephalim-fallen ones). The "dead men's bones' that Ezekiel must prophecy so they will all come together as "ONE MAN", the whole HOUSE OF ISRAEL. Now what do the names tell us about the "leadership" of each tribe since all tribes are gathered together as "ONE MAN". Each tribe brings his own special gifts from God to the body and God puts them in the body where he wills: Reubens (see you a son) leader is Eleytswur (my God is a rock) son of Shedeyuwr - (casting forth fire-light). Simeon (heard) Shlumiel (friend of God) of Tsuwriyshadday (my rock is almighty) Judah (praise of God) Nahshon (enchanter, practice divination, observer of signs, learn by experience) son of Ammiynadab (my kinsman is noble-or kindred of the prince) Issachar (there is recompense, reward) son of Nathaneel (given of God) son of Tsawar-Zuar-(littleness-smallness) Zebulun (exalted) Eliab (My father is God) son of Chelon-Helon (strength) Joseph (he will add); of Ephraim (double-fruit) Elishama (my God has heard) son of Ammihud (my kinsman is majesty) of Manasseh (he will cause to forget) Gamaliel (reward of God) son of Pedahzur (the Rock has ransomed) Benjamin (son of my right hand) Abidan (my father is judge) son of Gid'oniy (my hewer-from gada-to cut down, hew off, chop in two) Dan (judge) Ahiezer (my brother is help) son of Ammishaddai (my kinsman is almighty) Asher (happy-go straight, advance, progress, set right) Pagiel (event-occurance of God) son of Ocran (troubled) Gad (troop-from guwd-to attack-press, urge, invade) Eliasaph (God has added) son of Deuel (they know God) Naphtali (my wrestling-from pathal-to twist) Ahira (my brother is evil) son of Enan (having eyes) In a paragraph I paraphrase these names: Seeing a son and hearing the "praise of God" brings a recompense, though small, it is exalted, and one has added double fruit, (born twice) that causes one to forget and puts one as the "son of his right hand" that will judge and make happy the troops and inheritance of God, even though they will have to wrestle against their enemies till they are put under their feet. If we take the same paragraph from the names of the "leaders" it would be, My God is a rock and I am a friend of God that learns by observation, and experience, watching for signs, (the will) that is given of God, who is my father, and my kinsman of majesty and I will be the reward of God, who is my father and judge, and my brother of help, that meets me during an event (visitation) God has added because my brother is evil (antichrist spirit) Num 1:48 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, Num 1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel: Num 1:50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, (during the visitation, the ark is seen in heaven and herein is the law, manna and resurrection for Aaron/Levi by having Christ joined to him. …….and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that [belong] to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. Num 1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. Num 1:52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, (dagel- look, behold –to cover over) throughout their hosts. (Or as said in I Cor 15, each man is made alive in his own order by the “Last Adam”) Num 1:53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, (the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, Rev 19:10) …. That there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. Num 1:54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they. They are still doing it to this day when their ‘appointed hour” arrives that no man knows but the Father only; this will restore Israel their “Kingdom”. Naso-This Torah portion discusses leprosy which afflicted the people who had unwarranted hatred towards their brother. These souls were to be separated from the congregation till they learned not to hate their brothers through the lashon hara (evil tongue). Back in Exodus when God called Moses to lead Israel, he gave him a lesson that included leprousy. Exd 4:1 ¶ And Moses answered and said, but, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. Exd 4:2 And the LORD said unto him, what [is] that in thine hand? (A rod represents the tribes of Israel) Exd 4:3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent (nachash); and Moses fled from before it. Exd 4:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: The "end of the serpent" is the return of Israel. Exd 4:5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. Exd 4:6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand [was] leprous as snow. Moses put his hand in his bosom (cheyq-the hollow, bottom, midst-from an unused root meaning "to inclose"). The power of Moses (his hand in giving the law) puts it in the innermost part of him and it shows up leprous (revealing unwarranted hatred) but when he puts the power of his hand back in his bosom the second time, gives the law the second time within the innermost part, it comes out as his other flesh, the "Word made flesh" or law becomes flesh, the law becomes a part of the heart. Exd 4:7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his [other] flesh. Exd 4:8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. Why would they not believe the first sign? The end of evil brings Israel back into their unity? Yet just in case, they will believe once they see how their own inner heart is changed through the giving of the law into the heart. Yet what about if they still don't believe? Exd 4:9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] upon the dry [land]: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land]. Water cleanses, but life is in the blood and when the dry land (yabbashah-from yabesh-shame) lives, they will believe. The three stages of regeneration: The end of the serpent or crooked will, the new heart, and the life of the whole being-new mind. The Torah parsha is also about the “priestly blessings”. The Jewish people are divided into three classes, the priests (kohanim) the Levites, (Leviim) and Israelites. The acronym of the three spells “kli” or vessel, hence the house of Israel are one kli or vessel or soul. In the parsha there is a focus on three Levite families that represent three spiritual levels. Kahat was to care for the ark and all that goes with it. Kahat means ‘assembly, to ally oneself” and the parsha tells us this is the most lofty of all levels. Gershon means “exile”, expulsion. Gershon’s responsibility was to carry the curtain that divides the “holy of holies” from the sanctuary, showing the division from closeness to God. Merari means “bitter”, unhappy; and these carry the beams and pillars of the sanctuary, a burdensome weight and the lowest level of spirituality. Levites are given the job of helping others get closer to God, and no matter how one feels, there must be a commitment to serve God on all three levels. I don’t see these as different people, but different levels within our own experience. Part of us stays very close to God, another part goes in and out of his presence and still another part is burdened with the cares of the physical life, the world. All three parts are within our own nature. 1Pe 2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1Pe 2:10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. In these scripture we see how God puts all Israel together along with the gentile nature. The priesthood is “royal’ showing that Judah the house of Kings and royalty is now part of that priesthood. The priesthood is also “holy” because they have been redeemed, sanctified and justified by Gods provision to them, Jesus Christ who comes out of Gods own bosom/heart, because God too speaks his Word from the abundance of his heart. Lastly these are a peculiar people, meaning they are a possession, property, reserved for oneself. God saved Israel by letting them be scattered throughout the gentile natures till they were ready to have their appointed times, their feasts in the spiritual sense that would bring them back home to their Father and in doing so, bring back the gentiles that were attached to them as well. 1Pe 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. What is the day of visitation? Episkope 1) investigation, inspection, visitation a) that act by which God looks into and searches out the ways, deeds character, of men, in order to adjudge them their lot accordingly, whether joyous or sad. In Hebrew the definition is clearer: Since I had my visitation on Yom Kippur of 1992, I understand that God severs the just from the unjust in us so he can destroy the evil part in us and free us from our enemies who will not be able to escape since Christ is revealed in us as well. We become the container where God plays out his judgement and only one side wins in us, "Gods side". Visitation in Hebrew; pĕquddah 1) oversight, care, custody, mustering, visitation, store a) visitation, punishment b) oversight, charge, office, overseer, class of officers from the root paqad-to attend, muster, NUMBER (the heads-skulls), punish, appoint, pay attention, assign, deposit, be called to account, set over, make overseer, be entrusted, Job 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. Isa 10:3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? And where will ye leave your glory? Jer 8:12 were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. Jer 10:15 They [are] vanity, [and] the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. Jer 11:23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, (answer to prayer)[even] the year of their visitation. Jer 23:12 wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery [ways] in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, [even] the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. Hsa 9:7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred; (Leprousy). Luk 19:44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone (a son of Israel) upon another (all sons will fall); because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. The evil the LORD brings upon Israel during their visitation is the ‘revelationof of the “man of sin”, the antichrist spirit or the revelation of the root of the yetzer hora-evil inclination that rules within the hearts of all men and that is what keeps them far from God. Be’halot’cha-This Torah Portion is about the “second chance”, Passover Sheini. Adam Leiberman begins with Numbers 11:4-10, discussing Israel's reaction to the "manna" from heaven..."Who will feed us meat? We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt ... but now ... we have nothing ... but the manna... And the wrath of God flared greatly...." (Numbers 11:4-10) Adam Leiberman explains, God made us in a way that our thoughts are always looking at what is lacking and it requires real effort for us to "think" about the blessings of what we have. In another article on Aish.com, Rabbi Aba Wagensberg discusses Pesach Sheini, the "second Passover" offering. Once again there is the "contact with the dead body" (spiritual separation from God) which disabled Israel from bringing the Passover offering at the "appointed time", Nissan 14. Upon request to Moses, God said they could bring the offering a month later, on the 14th of Iyar, Pesach Sheini. Israel carried Joseph's bones (substance) in his coffin out of Egypt with them, and these carriers of the coffin are the men who requested this "second chance" to offer the Pesach offering. Numbers 10:3 is a shortened version of what Israel's journey is like; it is three days: Hsa 6:2 After two days will he revive (chayah-LIFE) us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Mat 26:2 Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed (given) to be crucified. Israel is crucified “with Christ’ and that is how they are lifted up and shall live in the LORDS sight. Israel searches for rest, keep their Sabbath: The great cloud of witnesses that go before, are always watching over Israel to cheer them on. The ark set forward when it was time for Israel to "RISE UP", and let the enemies be scattered; Let those who "hate them, flee from them". The return of the LORD to Israel is the result. Num 10:33 ¶ And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them. Num 10:34 And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. Num 10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. Num 10:36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel. Shlach-This Torah parsha begins “Act as if”, a phrase that is used a lot in Alcoholic’s anonymous and other anonymous programs to encourage people of low self esteem to act their way into a new life till they believe they are really capable of that life. In the New Testament Jesus often calls Israel ‘hypocrites” which in Greek means “actor”. We all begin as hypocrites (actors) when trying on different roles in life, but sooner or later we come back to what we truly believe about ourselves God and others. Barring a miracle, most people realize they can’t change that much when it comes to their “deepest inner nature”. The verse in Revelation about “opening what none can open and shutting what none can shut” refers to Christ within, the door we can’t open, and our selfish ego, that we ourselves can’t shut. The ego is like the eye looking at itself. It needs a reflection to see itself and Christ is that reflection, which is why Christ must come first, be revealed in us before he can destroy the wicked one with the truth of his appearing and the brightness of his coming. Until I experienced the first resurrection (Christ in me) I didn’t really understand what it felt like to be fulfilled, happy and free, even though it was not yet true in the deepest part of me. My new found happiness didn’t last long because soon after Christ was revealed, Satan and the darkness was also revealed in me and this was something I was not prepared to see or deal with on any level. I thank God that he sends us the spirit of repentance to prepare us for judgment of the “man of sin” so we can be corrected (tikkun) by having the “body of sin” destroyed in us as well. God separates evil from good in us at the time of our visitation so one side can’t touch the other side and God surrounds the evil side to destroy it and free us within. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom because the evil side rightfully is terrified by this realization of evil at the root of the tree that leads to death. It is written Satan’s wrath is great because his time is short and this is when he is revealed in us along with his messengers that still buffeted Paul even after his Soul had Jesus Christ revealed in him and his spirit was crucified with Christ to make out of twain, one new man. God tells Paul that his grace is sufficient to deal with all these wicked messengers, and this is something Israel must learn during the visitation. There are no spies to search out the land this time and an evil report will not do anymore good than it did the first time. God says “his grace is sufficient and his Strength (Joy of the LORD, Simchat Torah) is made perfect in our weakness. We don’t have to “act as if” once we “feel” the joy and fear of the LORD; we just have to “go and flow with these” (wisdom and understanding-chockmah and bina) and let them be the guide to our transformation in “knowledge” (da’ath) of God within so we can manifest a new creation without. Korach-This parsha discusses Korach, whom I did a whole post on already in prior days. We all experience Korach within our nature before we are given the true desire to follow God. I remember I used to drivel about Paul’s different outlook from Jesus and ask myself, now whose words are more important? I didn’t understand yet by a long shot that the words in the Bible are all Gods Word and God spoke through all the prophets and fathers, and every soul who had the guidance of the Holy Spirit who is also the source of “interpreting that word” when the time came to have it interpreted. I also didn’t understand that Jesus is the Word, while Paul as all of Israel ‘experienced” that word in their own heart and mind. Paul explains how it is to be visited by God, while Jesus speaks as God to Israel and the world. Korach didn’t care that Moses was overburdened; he just didn’t want Moses’ leadership over him in any way. I didn’t want anyone to lead me that I didn’t fully understand and I didn’t understand Paul or Jesus fully so it concluded that I didn’t want God’s leadership over me since he spoke through them; One spoke directly from God and one through his experience with God and I didn’t understand either one in everything they said till my visitation. Korach like many Christians believed they are more holy than they are. Many of us think we are all at the same level of spiritual light since we are all Christians, but nothing could be further from the truth. We are told not to judge anyone, but we are told to discern what manner of spirit someone is of, yet Jesus told his disciples they didn’t know what manner of spirit they were of and that they wouldn’t know till they “knew” him. “Knowing about God” and “knowing God’ “dveikut” (being joined to his Spirit) are two different kinds of “knowing”. The parsha’s Rabbi Aba Wagensberg discusses how Israel is likened to the “moon” that doesn’t generate his own light but is a reflection of the “sunlight”. The moon fills in four quarters, showing that the soul fills in four phases, four levels of recreation. The moon begins ‘new’ (dark and without light, the overshadowing of Israel-tzimtzum-retraction of Gods light at judgment) and in four phases of filling, reflects the light of the sun, or God in this case. Those who have achieved “union” (devikut) with God are able to help their brothers. Jesus said ‘when you are converted you will be able to strengthen your brothers”, but till then, two blind men will both fall into the ditch. Jesus also said there was no greater darkness than thinking the darkness is the light. The conversion from the carnal mind to Christ consciousness is in four phases after Christ is first revealed in us. I have discussed these phases many times, but suffice it to say here that this time of judgment, correction, chastening lasts till we agree with God who is in Christ, in us, reconciling the world to himself in us. We will sit with him in the heavens (our spirit joined as one) till he puts all our enemies (within) under our feet on earth. Chukat-This Torah parsha is about the para-adumah, the red heifer whose ashes would be used for a purification process. The paradox of this ritual is that anyone who is involved in the preparation of the heifer would be unclean, even though the ashes would make others clean. Adam Leiberman explains what many in the anonymous self help programs learn the hard way; their negative behavior pushed them to the change for the better. The negative behavior that makes addicts hit rock bottom often is the very motive for a deep and profound change that wouldn’t have occurred otherwise and this change made them even better than they were before they lost their way with addiction. Why? Because now they not only have gratitude for overcoming a terrible problem, but they also “know” the discipline it takes to overcome, and the power they needed to be disciplined in the first place; last but not least, they know that they never want to go through this suffering again as long as they live. The old man and his seed the carnal mind is the broad road that leads to destruction; Yet in this, the soul is able to find the narrow road that leads to life. The soul is able then to rise above the pain and emptiness because it is finally ready to be redeemed and sanctified by the burning away of all sin, hence beauty for ashes in Zion. That which led to repentance, is unclean but that which reprentance leads to is clean: Paul explains, if sin abound, grace does much more abound. Are we to conclude then that we should sin more and more? God forbid says Paul. Sin already burdens the soul because of its “shackling” tendancies. He who sins is a slave to sin and sin leads to death, hence spiritual death is the opposite of being “joined” to God. Spiritual death is being separated from God so that we can’t feel his presence within us and only God’s presence causes us “pleasure” and fulfillment, a feeling we all desire to have; a feeling we look for in everything we do, even the evil we do till we are given freedom through the “Spirit of truth” that leads into all truth. Balak-This Torah parsha is about Balak the King of Moab who sent for Balaam to curse Israel, but God told them he would not do that because Israel was a blessed people. Balaam didn’t tell that to Balak, but he only told him that he just couldn’t go with him. Balaam was giving half truths, hence he is known as a ‘false prophet’. Just as Satan lied to Eve by giving her half the story, so does every false prophet lie due to his ignorance about the truth or his dislike for the truth or his preference for men’s approval rather than Gods. Balak is the empty part of us due to the desolation in our heart that doesn’t really “hear” the whole truth and certainly won’t pass it on if it doesn’t suit him. Abraham was told by God I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. If God be for us, who can be against us? Nobody is the true answer! Balak-devestator, empty, void the son of Zippor (sparrow) saw what Israel had done to the Amorites. Moab was distressed because of Israel. Moab said to Midian (contention, strife) are they going to destroy us. Balak was King of Moab during that time. He sent a messenger to Balaam (prophet-meaning not of the people), son of Beor (burning-torch, lamp) and wanted Balaam to curse Israel. Balak said to Balaam I know who you bless is blessed and whom you curse is cursed: God comes to Balaam and said what are these men with you? Balaam explains about Balak what he spoke about Israel. God said you will NOT curse these people for they are BLESSED. Balaam rose up in the morning and said to the princess of Balak, get into your land for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you. Balak sent more and more honorable men to Balaam to go with them but Balaam said if you gave me his whole house of silver and gold I cannot go beyond the WORD of the LORD my God to do less or more. Tarry and let me see if the LORD will tell me more about this. God came to Balaam at night and said if the men come to call thee, rise up and go with them; but yet the word I shall say you shall do. Balaam rose up early and saddled his ass and went with the princess of Moab. God's anger was kindled because he went and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass and his two servants were with him. The ass saw the angel of the LORD and his sword drawn in his hand, and the ass turned aside out of the way and went into a field; Balaam smote the ass to get her into the way. The angel of the LORD stood in the path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side and on the wall on that side. When the ass saw the angel of the LORD she thrust herself unto the wall and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall; and he smote her again.The angle of the LORD went further and stood in a narrow place where there was NO WAY to turn either to the right or to the left. When the ass saw the angel of the LORD she fell down under Balaam; Balaam's anger was kindled and he smote the ass with a staff. The LORD opened the mouth of the ass and she said to Balaam what have I done unto thee, that thou smittest me these three times? Balaam said to the ass because you mocked me; I would there were a sword in mine hand for now would I kill thee. The ass (athown-she ass, donkey-same as eythan-perpetual, constant, everflowing, permanance, enduring-a picture of the SOUL of Balaam just as the ass the King uses to ride into Jerusalem represents the “soul of Judah and of Jesus Christ)....the ass said to Balaam, am I not thine ass upon which thou has riden ever since [I was] thine unto this day? Was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. Num 22:31 ¶ Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. Num 22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me: Num 22:33 And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. Num 22:34 And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displeases thee, I will get me back again. Num 22:35 And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak. Num 22:36 ¶ And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost coast. Num 22:37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? Wherefore camest thou not unto me? Am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour? Num 22:38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. Num 22:39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth. (Outside the city streets). Num 22:40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him. Num 22:41 ¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people. A false prophet will not see the love of God in the union between others because that is lacking in his own heart. He may have communion with the Almighty but he leaves out the Love for Gods people in his message to them. The main reason is that he doesn’t see the whole message of God, but only to the level that he desires to see and hear it. His desires are not pure and selfless, but tainted. Jesus in speaking to the seven churches, tells the angel of the Church of Pergamos about this stumblingblock of half truths......Pergamos is at a high elevation but also knows that they are where Satan's seat is: They have not denied their faith and they hold fast to Jesus name, even ....let’s read it. Rev 2:12 ¶ And to the angel of the church in Pergamos (height, elevation) write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; Rev 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas (like the father)[was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. In my own experience of being crucified with Christ, I didn't know that Satan sat on the throne of my heart making himself God: I did have faith and I held fast to Jesus, but the spirit of lies was still a part of me. The antichrist had to go out from me to show that he was never meant to be part of me. Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. What does it mean to eat things sacrificed to Idols? It means eating the Word in such a way that we commit idolatry with it. We use the WORD to increase the "God of our vain imagination (carnal mind) ruled by the crooked serpent) rather than "seeking for the true God" in us, hence we commit fornication against the true God: Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans (vicotry over the people), which thing I hate. (Jesus hates those who want victory “over” the people instead of “victory for the people”). Rev 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Rev 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]. When we overcome this level of listening to the “imaginations and high things that exalt themselves against the “knowledge of God”, we will be able to receive the ‘true bread from heaven’ and we will have our stone of aquital, our white stone with our new name, the name that is written in the “book of life”. Pinchas-This Torah portion begins with the topic of leadership, and Moses’ concern about the right man leading Israel. "May ... God ... appoint a man over the assembly, who shall go out before them ... and let the assembly ... not be like sheep that have no shepherd." (Numbers 27:16-17) Adam Lieberman ends the discussion with….make no mistake; it certainly takes a lot of class to have your focus be on others when your ego, self-esteem, and your self-worth are seemingly all on the line. But it's precisely this knee-jerk response which separates a good leader from a great one. Later the parsha says a leader is not to act “for the people” but to produce other leaders. The parsha of Pinchas (mouth of brass-serpent, judgment), Moses’ great nephew, comes from Numbers 25, and discusses the sin (immorality) of Zimri (from tribe of Simeon) and Kozbi a Midianite princess. Zimri contends that Moses married a Midianite wife, Zipporah, but Moses explains that this was before the ‘giving of Torah”. Pinchas carried out the punishment on Zimri, showing that Moses had been a good teacher as a leader. Let us look closer at this story from the Bible. Num 25:10 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar (God has helped), the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Num 25:12 wherefore say, Behold, "I give unto him my covenant of peace": Num 25:13 And he shall have it, and "his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood"; because he was zealous for his God, and "made an atonement" for the children of Israel. Num 25:14 ¶ Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri (my music-praise-to pluck, prune), the son of Salu (weighed in balance-from calah-to toss asside, make light of, reject,) a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. (heard) Num 25:15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain [was] Cozbi, (my lie) the daughter of Zur (rock-remember the King of Tsur?); he [was] head over a people, [and] of a chief house in Midian. Num 25:16 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Num 25:17 Vex the Midianites (contention, strife), and smite them: Num 25:18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's (cleft-from pa'ar-to open wide, a gape) sake. The opening of that gape is the pit that opens up to reveal the abomination of desolation. God’s house (our heart) is left desolate in us and to close this gap, the atonement must be received, to bring peace to the land. Here are scripture with this word to give another witness of what I said. Isa 5:13 ¶ Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because [they have] no knowledge: and their honourable men [are] famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. Isa 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened (pa'ar) her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. Isa 5:15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: Isa 5:16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. Later in Joshua we read Jos 22:16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD? Jos 22:17 [Is] "the iniquity of Peor" too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD; Jos 22:18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? And it will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel. Jos 22:19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [be] unclean, [then] pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God. One final word on this topic and it will refer to the word "hand" in Greek, cheir-agency of help of anyone by anyone; upholding and preserving, as God protects and aids by his hand; in punishing, determining and controlling men's destinies: The word cheir refers to cheimon- in terms of winter, stormy wheather, from cheo - to pour through a channel, meaning storm or rain, from the base chasma (a gaping opening, a chasm, gulf): The word chasma is found only once in the Bible, as it relates to the rich man and Lazerus (helped of God): Both died (since they are both in one person), The poor man Lazerus goes to Abraham's bosom (showing he is of that covenant made with Abraham) and the rich man went to hell: Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. Luk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence. Luk 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: Luk 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Luk 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. The gulf is fixed between Abraham's bosom and Gehenna: The wicked part can't enter the Promised covenant and the poor in spirit won't be cast into hell. Yet we experience both parts within us, because the wicked spirit is severed from the just in us, even though both are resurrected together in us. The wicked spirit won't be persuaded by one who has risen from the dead because it won't hear Moses. As far as the word cheimon or winter, it is used in the following scripture: Mat 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! Mat 24:20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mat 24:25 Behold, I have told you before. And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. Jhn 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Jhn 10:24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jhn 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. Jhn 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Jhn 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Jhn 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. Jhn 10:29 My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand. Jhn 10:30 I and [my] Father are one. …feast of dedication – egkainia -1) dedication, consecration - from two words, en + kainos=made new, recently made fresh, unworn, a new kind, unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of….a) in particular the annual feast celebrated eight days beginning in the 25th of Chislev (middle of our December), instituted by Judas Maccabaeus [164 BC] in memory of the cleansing of the temple from the pollution of Antiochus Epiphanes Cheslev is Cheshvan in Hebrew and here is what Rabbi Ginsburgh says from inner.org; Cheshvan also known, Mar-Cheshvan, is the eighth of the twelve months of the Jewish calendar. In the Bible, Cheshvan is called the month of bool a name that stems from the word for "flood”. (I am interjecting that the coming of the “Son of man” will be as the days of Noah). The flood began on the 17th of Cheshvan, and ended the following year on the 27th of Cheshvan. On the following day, the 28th of Cheshvan, Noah brought his sacrifice to God and God swore never again to bring a flood upon the earth to destroy all mankind, and then revealed the sign of His covenant with the world, the rainbow. Cheshvan is the only month which has no holidays or special mitzvot.We are taught that it is "reserved" for the time of Mashiach, who will inaugurate the third Temple in Cheshvan. In keeping with the topic of Pinchas (mouth of brass and serpent), the mazal/sigh of the month of Cheshvan is the akrav (scorpion) archtype of the snake of Eden. Messiah is the only one who can overcome the bite of the primordial snake in order to convert it to good, Mashiach and his continuous state of consciousness. The tribe of Manasseh (he will cause to forget), is Joseph’s first son born in Egypt. Rabbi Ginsburgh explains that his name permutes to spell "soul", to reveal the divine soul of Israel, the soul of Moses). Jews say Moses will be the Messiah when he comes, and we see on the Mt. of Transfigureation when Jesus stands between Moses and Elijah the voice from heaven says, “This is my beloved Son, listen to him”. Jesus fulfills of all the laws (Moses) and prophets (Elijah)....in his people Israel. Matot-This parsha begins with “private disciplining”, especially for parents who shouldn’t publically humiliate their children. The parsha discusses putting on the tefillin and how they are required to be put on the arm before the head. The meaning of this is that the Jews passions should be channelled to God, and only then can they dedicate the intellectual energies to the Divine and trust that our philosophies are not distortions of reality. Bilaam understood if the heart is swayed, the mind will follow. The Midianite women enticed the Jewish to worship idols once they tempted their passions. Midianite philosophy justified all behavior as acceptable. Since the Midianites represent division, contention and strife within, the story of Reuben (see ye a son) and Gad (troops, inheritance) wanting to split off from the rest of Israel and settle before entering the Promised land fits in this parsha. Moses chastens these brothers and tells them they will help their brothers and then they will settle in their land and half the tribe of Manasseh will settle with them when they return. The allegiance between Reuben and Gad is due to their similarity. The two tribes are first born sons, Reuben is Leah’s firstborn and Gad is her maidservant Zilpah’s firstborn. These two tribes marched around Simeon and were the first two tribes to go into exile, according to the Midrash. Rabbi Ari Kahn expresses his conjecture that these three tribes may have commisserated about the fact that they were all first-born’s who tried to preserve their “status” and right to blessing of the first born. We know however that God always chooses whom he wills to receive the blessing and gives it to the other brother, the ‘second born’ which represents the “need to be twice born”, born again in order to receive the “Spiritual blessing”. I see this parsha tie together in the need for the heart to be purified in those who put money and possessions ahead of Spiritual blessings, hence the tefillin is put on in the wrong order. Moses’ desire to wage war against the Midianites (strife and contention) was to get the right order in Israel, a clean heart resulting in a renewed mind. These are promises of the “New Covenant” the one Mashiach fulfills in Israel when he visits Israel to bring the “second birth”, the spiritual focus ahead of the desire for the world. Without a spiritual birth, our heart can not change and this prevents the renewing of our mind which always tries to justify the heart’s desires instead of justifying God. I also perceive how private disciplining comes into this parsha, because God does indeed discipline and chasten all his sons privately, in their own order, where each man must stand before the judgment seat of Christ to receive the rewards of what they did in the body. Judgement day in Judaism is followed by Yom Kippur the giving of the atonement and then tabernacles, where every man sits in his “own tent” with God while he reveals the “Torah” and prophets to that man. Once a soul is visited and delivered from their sin nature, the result of their first birth where we all died in Adam, they will “naturally” (frum) understand what is good and evil and be able to choose the good and refuse the evil because it is taken out of the heart. The soul receives a New and righteous Spirit (of God through his Mashiach) and the soul receives a new heart and a new mind where the “law” is written within and not just held as a measuring rod without in order to prove that no man has ever kept the law of God to this day. With an outstretched arm and “great judgment” I have deliverd you, says the LORD. If his arm is outstretched still, it means the cross has not become “personal” in that souls life. Deu 26:8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, (mowra-fear, terror, reverance, object of reverance, "awe-inspiring spetacle or deed; from yare-fear, stand in awe, to cause astonishment or godly fear) and with signs (owth-sign, signal, banner, oemn, warning, token, ensign, standard, miracle, proof, from uwth-to consent, agree-in the sense of "appearing"), and with wonders: Paul explains, the Jew seeks for a sign, and it is this sign they seek for: The Greek seeks for wisdom, and the wisdom only comes with the "fear of the LORD"; Paul explains both of these are bound up in the cross which brings these together in us. The cross is the "power of God" for those who have experienced this sign and this fear of the LORD, their beginning of wisdom. The sign the Jew receives in the last generation is found in the story of Jonah (Dove) who must come home and do what God told Israel to do from the beginning. It isn't till Israel is "apprehended" by God (as we see with Paul who said he wanted to apprehend what he was apprehended for), that they finally fulfill their mission and become a light for the gentiles that their souls are joined to, Romans 11. God ends the darkness within Israel and removes it from them with the "sign" of the cross, the "Serpent lifted up" in their own inner nature and this transforms the 'heart' through great judgment. Num 2:1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Num 2:2 "Every man" of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, (degel) with the ensign (owth) of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch. Num 2:3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun (first resurrection) shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab [shall be] captain of the children of Judah. Jer 21:5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. Jer 27:5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Deu 6:3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Deu 6:4 ¶ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD: Deu 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deu 6:6 ¶ And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: Deu 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Deu 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign (owth) upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. Deu 6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. I saw the sign of the cross as the serpent lifted up right between my eyes, on my forhead. God "lifted up" my will and joined it to his "will" in me, Christ in me, and we became "one Spirit' through the "power of the cross". The joining of the Spirits is not a "carnal ordinance' or something the mind can comprehend. It is a matter of the "Will" which is the "motivation in the heart" that has to be set right. Once we have a new will, we can "choose" correctly and give our desires to our husband, God and Israel marry through Jesus Christ and his Church. New desires bring new manifestations, selfless manifestations and we become "safe" for others, including those we love and those we thought we could never love. Masay-This Torah Portion begins with the wandering of Israel in the wilderness and the understanding of why they wandered so long. Israel is still in the wilderness even if they do Aliya and return to the “Land of Israel” without; they will not be totally free till they return to the “land of Israel” within. Entering the “Promised Land” is only possible when the first generation dies, the first-born dies, so the “second born”, the spiritual new will, Christ in Israel, the “King of Israel” can live and lead the heart and mind of the people of Israel. Nicodemus didn’t understand how a man could be born again, and Jesus asked him why he a leader (will) of Israel didn’t understand what this meant? Nicodemus asked, can he return to his mother’s womb? The answer is both no and yes. Spiritually we must return to God our mother-father source in order to become a “new creation” and not just a ‘better old one’. If Adam who was both male and female before God separated him, was made in the image and likeness of God, then God has both qualities as well. God said he would make all things new, do a new thing in the earth. New is new and not “better” or improved. The wandering of Israel is for the “transformation” of desire. In the book of Revelation, the woman (Israel) is taken into the wilderness after she brings forth the “Man-child” (the new birth of the will by joining both wills/spirits together as “One” good will). Once the “child” has entered the inner Kingdom (is taken to the throne-the heavens are God’s throne) we grasp that the woman needs to be sanctified and the good news is “this child shall lead her”. The new will- will lead the soul in her wandering to overcome (sanctify) her desires by giving them, yielding them, submitting them to her husband, her new will/spirit to make the woman “MAN” . It is written that Satan casts out the flood (the Law) to destroy the woman (Israel) but the earth helps the woman and swallows the flood. The earth is Malkut, the Kingdom of God on earth as the wilderness is the holy place, the heart that has to be sanctified to respond to God first and then all other things will be added unto the soul. How does the earth help? It swallows, is able to drink in the law and confess it unto salvation. The heart and mind are both renewed in this process. Whatsoever is established on earth-mind will be firmly establised in the heart as well. We believe with the heart but we confess with the mouth because God is making us in his image and likeness, we are becoming the “Speaker” of the WORD which is his power in our mouth. By every word we are either condemned or blessed and brought to life. What a way to remake us, to ensure that we will have to be in Gods image and likeness to be complete in him. According to the Parsha, this wandering represents the 42 phases in a soul’s life. The Jews are not just in exile from their “physical land” but from their “God”. Once the union (dveikut) between God and Israel is re-established, it will be as though Israel is back in the “land of Israel” no matter where they live on earth. Coming out of exile is first a spiritual event and then for those who it is destined for it, a physical event. If Israel does Alijah before their heart is made new, they will not find peace in Israel. Their enemies without represent the enemies within no matter where they live. Israel means “he will rule with God” and “Straight light to God”. Israel is in the “midst” of the earth as the heart is in the midst of the body. Get the heart right and you have a chance to renew the whole mind/body no matter what the problem may be. There are four exiles according to Judaism: Edom-red (Rome-strength), Madai -middle land-(Persia (pure-splendid-Medea), Bavel (Babylon-confusion) and Yavan (Syria-High people-Greece-Hellas-unstable-mirey one). The desires that cause the exile are in Edom (we all died in the first Adam) and the strength of sin is the law that causes sin to be punished with continual death. The desires of the middle land are the heart desires that are pure (if the law is within) but there is still confusion because of the two natures together, Jew and Greek. The mind or high place vrs the fleshly desires makes one unstable. Zec 9:11 ¶ As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein [is] no water. Zec 9:12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare [that] I will render double unto thee; Zec 9:13 When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. Zec 9:14 ¶ And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. Zec 9:15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar. Zec 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. Zec 9:17 For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! Corn (dagan-wheat-grain-from dagah-multiply increase, cover, grow dark) shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. . Day 103 Torah Portions from Deuteronomy Devarim-This Torah Parsha begins by explaining the episode with the spies was the most devastating event in Jewish history because it was the very act that caused Israel to wander in the desert for forty years. Moses thought it was a good idea for the spies to spy out the land, and he wasn’t afraid to admit this mistake; God already promised the land to the people. Did they really need to spy it out? Moses tells Israel to go and inherit the land instead of go and make war against the inhabitants of the land. The reason is because Moses understood God is with Israel and the victory is assured. The Parsha continues that God told Moses what to write in the first four books of Torah, but in Deuteronomy, God told Moses to add his own understanding and this too would become part of Torah but with the added “human element” that Moses brought to the law. Jews tell us the “Shekinah” spoke through Moses throat, like an oracle in the book of Dueteronomy. The oral Torah was meant to be passed down orally whereas the first four books were meant to be written. I understand this to show that the ‘letter’ becomes ‘spirit’ when one is able to speak it ‘from the heart’; ones own inner voice is Gods voice from the heart. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If the heart is wicked, the mouth will reveal it and vice versa sooner or later. Paul said if any man speaks, let him speak as an oracle of God. In other words, let the Word be Spirit from his heart and not just the letter from his head. It is written, the “letter kills” but the spirit gives life. Now why would we read something that only kills? Jesus said he who gives up his life for my sake shall find it. The letter kills the selfisheness of the ego so the soul (desire-need-weakness of God) can receive the life of the Spirit when the letter is transformed in the heart. Instead of discussing all that was written about “Og the King of Bashan’ in this parsha, I will discuss Psalm 135 to shorten my understanding of this nephillim (fallen ones) that survived the flood. The parsha explains this is Eliezer the confederate of Abraham, and Abraham said he didn’t have any children but this Eliezer from his house. I see this as the spirit of antichrist that has to be replaced by the “yechida” the singular one, the darling, the “only Son” that will come from his own bowels, (womb/heart). Jesus said “Abraham saw my day and was glad”. Only Messiah within Israel can rid them of the threat of “Og”. Psa 135:1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD. Psa 135:2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, Psa 135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant. Psa 135:4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure. Psa 135:5 For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our Lord [is] above all gods. Psa 135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. Psa 135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. Psa 135:8 who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. Psa 135:9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. Psa 135:10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; Psa 135:11 Sihon (warrior-sweeping away) king of the Amorites, (a 'sayer'-mountaineer-elevation) and Og (long necked-uwg-go in a circle, bake a cake, to bend, curve)) king of Bashan,(fruitful-given to half-tribe of Manasseh) and all the kingdoms of Canaan. (Lowland-to be humbled, subdued): Ezekiel 4 uses the expression for "bake a cake": Eze 4:12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. Eze 4:13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. Remember barley is animal food for the lower nature? Paul said all before his experience with the cross is as dung to him. He did eat this cake while he was within his gentile nature, exiled in Rome, a Roman citizen, Paul did not come out of exile till he was apprehended by the God of Israel. Back to Psalms Psa 135:12 And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. Psa 135:13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, hroughout all generations. Psa 135:14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. Psa 135:15 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands. (desire, love and the word all according to the power of men). Psa 135:16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; Psa 135:17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any] breath in their mouths. Psa 135:18 They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them. Psa 135:19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron (light bringer): Psa 135:20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. Psa 135:21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. All Kings are our own will, either before we are enlightened with Christ or after our will/King is made one with the “King of Kings” when Satan’s head is overcome, even though his ‘tail’ still needs to be overcome during, our period of sanctification of the woman/Israel in the wilderness. Here we are aware of both evil and good in our nature till good has overcome evil in us and our will has become ‘one will” completely, from head to feet (end), just as the anointing (Christ) must go from the head to the feet shod with the preparation with the gospel of peace. V’etchanan-In this Torah Portion Moses reiterates the Ten Commandments for Israel. In discussing the Sabbath, Israel is told they must have all their “work” finished during the six days before they enter their rest, a rest that is still available to the children of God as long as it is called “Today”. The parsha understands the “work” to mean ones own effort, and I add, work that deals with earthly things. Jesus said if we didn’t understand these earthly things how would we understand the meaning of the heavenly things? I understand the heavenly things include all that is revealed on our Sabbath, when we let our works follow us but now it is God in us who works, who builds, who both wills and does in us. God wants his people to enter their rest, to come to the ‘end’ of themselves, their ego and selfishness that leads to bondage and oppression because we never find what we are truly looking for till we find peace within. Only then will the mundane even be beautiful to us, while before, we never have enough, but focus on lack continually. What are the earthly concerns Jesus wants us to understand? The ego has a life span that includes all it “thinks” it needs to be fulfilled. The ego of the world is never satisified because unlike the ego of the world to come, the “soul” of Israel, there is no connection to the source of all fulfillment. We are like pots that have holes in them; everything that is good just runs out without being able to capture it, hold it, and let it nurture us. Mar 9:2 ¶ And after six days Jesus taketh [with him] Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. Mar 9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. Mar 9:4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. Mar 9:5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. Mar 9:6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. Mar 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Mar 9:8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. Jesus fulfills the law and prophets and in him is found the fullness of the “Godhead” bodily. Here is Moses and Elijah and everything written from the time of Moses is about this “Man” who is both God and creation joined together as “one”. Gen 2:1 ¶ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign (nec-something lifted up, standard, banner, pole, signal, a token to be seen-from naca-to be displayed, lifted up, exalted) of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Isa 11:11 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, (happiness-a step-Christianity in the Old Testament) and from Egypt (between two rocks), and from Pathros (region of the south-upper Egypt ), and from Cush (black), and from Elam (hidden, eternity), and from Shinar (country of two rivers-ancient Babylon), and from Hamath (fortress, defense-same as 'wall'), and from the islands of the sea. Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isa 11:13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. Israel and Judah shall be made one stick in the hand of God through Messiah. The reason is because they will be one stick, one tribe, one people in the hand of God. Ekev-This Torah portion warns about not forgetting the LORD you God once you enter the Promised Land. One of the reasons Moses had to warn Israel is because the heart needs to be made flesh with the law before the heart motivates the flesh to remember the law as the source of all blessing. In the New Testament we read the law is good and it is spiritual, but it is also what leads to our death. How can something that leads to our death be good for us? The law only kills that which is not able to join to God, hence stay alive. God said he would shake both the heavens (inner heart) and the earth (our mind) in the end time, and only that which is supposed to last will last. Everything else will be destroyed in us. The world is passing away and everything in it. Jesus said the world has nothing in me and Jesus has nothing in it, hence, I have overcome the world. He overcomes it in his people once they bring him forth as the first-fruits of their new creation. Jesus overcame the tempter and he does so in us when we bring forth Christ from within. We suffer and die with him so we can be raised up with him. Jesus is tempted in every way his brothers (Israel) are but he does what no one has done before, he is able to fulfill the law and prophets and this is what saves Israel so they can be a light to the nations and Judah will keep is solemn vow through the ‘birth of Messiah” within him so the wicked one will no more pass through him. Mat 4:1 ¶ Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Jhn 6:41 ¶ The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. Jhn 6:42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Jhn 6:43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. Jhn 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Jhn 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Jhn 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Jhn 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Jhn 6:48 I am that bread of life. Jhn 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. Jhn 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. Jhn 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Jhn 6:52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat? Jhn 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Jhn 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. Jhn 6:55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. Jhn 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. Jhn 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. Jhn 6:58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. Jhn 6:59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. (this word is the combination for comforter and cover/atonement) Jhn 6:60 ¶ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard [this], said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? Jhn 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? Jhn 6:62 [What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? (That is exactly what I saw); Jhn 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. Jhn 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. Jhn 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Jhn 6:66 From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Jhn 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Jhn 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. Jhn 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus knew that Judas would betray him because it is written and all things must happen as they are prophesied to happen. Judah is chosen to both give birth to Christ and to have Satan enter him so he could give up Christ for the SIN of the world. A friend once said, it’s like catching a fly (zebub where Balzebub (lord of the fliesh-Satan) comes from) in a jar so you can kill him. Judah is the jar (vessel) for our salvation because he gives us Christ (salvation is of the Jew) and endures the entering and revelation of Satan in him so he can give up Christ which destroys Satan and his works, his darkness. Re’eh-This Torah Parsha is about God watching us all the time. In this parsha we also read the curses and blessings Moses gives to the people if they do good-tov in the eyes of God and upright-yashar in the sight of people. Aba Wagensberg explains by telling us our concern for God seeing us should be as great as our concern that others see us. The difference between ‘knowing and seeing’ the future are also explained. Paul explains that we can not but speak of what we have seen and heard. Peter says the apostles are “eye-witnesss” of Christ, fulfilling their part in the promise that “all eyes shall see him”, because an apostle already has his witness, has seen the LORDS Messiah. For this person God is always with him just as Jesus said, I only do what I SEE the Father doing. Jesus saw the Father within him which is greater than just “thinking about” the Father as “out there somewhere”. The spiritual senses of hearing and seeing and smelling, tasting and touching are developed in the same manner the physical senses are. Hearing is developed before we are born but seeing comes after we are born, hence spiritually after we are born again spiritually, receiving a new spirit, a righteous spirit that is able to make us cling to God, (dveikut) in order to lead the soul into all righteousness. In reference to this parsha, Kol Yakov explains that seeing is our strongest sense just as ‘smelling is a dog’s strongest sense’. We say “I see” when we understand, just as a dog might say, I smell therefore I understand. It is written that Messiah will judge by sense of smell because that is the one sense that was not tainted at the fall from Eden. All our senses may easily sin, but the sense of smell stays true to what it smells, yuky or not. The Zohar explains that the nose stayed pure in its ability to discern the truth because God blew his Spirit/Neshama into the nose to make Adam a “living nephesh/animal soul”. Once God blew his Neshama into Adam, he had two souls, the animal soul, which were his desires, ‘hence he named each and every animal/desire’; he also had the “divine soul” the neshama that is the ‘breath of the LORD God” that enabled him to walk with God. If God put Adam to “sleep” (death) to take out his soul-Eve-the mother of all living, then was it the Neshama that he took out to make the woman, bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh? Adam was told to “cleave” to his wife, but his wife was alone during the temptation. Eve was deceived and I don’t think the Neshama can be deceived because it is the breath of God. God said Adam was “male and female” before he separated them, and Jesus said this is why God doesn’t recognize divorce, because they were “one from the beginning” and one they shall be forever more. Jesus asked, what would a “man/adam” give in exchange for his wife (soul)? Adam must give up his “selfish ego”, lay down his life for his wife as Jesus layed down his life for his Church. The Last Adam does this and makes the Church a temple of living stones, built up as a Royal and Holy Priesthood. The Second Man is the Lord from heaven who “cleaves” to his wife, his Church, his people, his elect and doesn’t let anyone take them out of his hands the way the “first Adam” did. The two angels that are beaten out of one piece of gold face to face over the mercy seat represent Adam and Eve before they were separated. God wanted Eve to be face to face with Adam, not from his side. It is written we will be face to face with Jesus for that reason. It is also written gold will be tried by fire, hence our faith and love will be tried by the “Holy Spirit’ to make us “one spirit-one soul-one body” with God, and his name is Jesus, the “Man” God made in his image and likeness. All eyes shall see this and be glad. Job said he would see God in his flesh, and the Holy Spirit will be poured out on all flesh. Job did “see God” and it changed him forever. It made him repent in dust and ashes, but God said “Stand like a Man” (resurrection). Man will stand at the judgment seat of Christ, not animals. The neshama is the “candle of the LORD” searching the inward parts till God has finished making Man the way he intended him to be. At the “revelation of Jesus Christ” we see him standing in the “midst” of the seven candlesticks (The Menorah in Hebrew), the seven Churches that he lightens because he is the “light that is the LIFE of Man”. It is the “Neshama” then that needs to be lit to give Life to the soul to make it the “Last Adam” the last Man that has the ‘life giving’ spirit within him. God shall call their name Adam again, but this is the “Salvation of Jehovah”, this is Jesus, the Last Man that is not like the first Man. The Last Man gave his life as a ransom for the creation. The last Man redeems Israel his people, his brothers, his mother and sisters. The last Man is God with us, manifest in the flesh, walking around on the earth his footstool, while existing in heaven his throne and this throne is within us if we can “see” with the eyes of the Spirit. Shoftim-This Torah Parsha is about appointing a “King” and he shall have two Torah’s; The King represents the “Will” of the people, and this is why God is called the “King of the Universe” (the will of the universe) and Gods will – will be done. The King must be “dveikut” (clinging) to God more than any other part of us, since our will dictates what the rest of us will do; It is written, and a ‘child shall lead them”; the child here is the “will” that is made “one Spirit” with God, “one will” with God. The crown of life (Keter in Judaism) has three attributes, Will-Faith-and pleasure/Eden. When we get the crown, we inherit these three things, our will that is based on faith that brings pleasure from God to us. Faith pleases God and whatever pleases God will be reflected in the “Image” he is making of himself, Man. Why two Torah’s? One for himself and one for the people, his soul, his body that must follow the ‘head’, the will till both walk together as “one”. Amos 3:3 asks, can two walk together unless they agree? The answer is no, one will always pull or push the other over some confict that arises. It is written to be of “one mind” but we should understand that this is “the mind of Christ” and not expect God to agree with us, but we with him in all things. The reason it takes time to sanctify Israel after their new will is given, Christ within, is because Christ now must lead them into all righteousness and this is the “chastening” of a Father to his son (Israel) because he loves them and wants them to “be one” with will with him. If the will is one, the whole body will eventually line up with this will. If the will is divided, the house will fall which is why Satan’s kingdom falls once his will is divided at the birth of the “man-child”. We see the “tail” (end) of Satan taking 1/3 of the Stars (Israel) with him, but 2/3 are out of his reach, even though he tries to destroy the 1/3 that represent the woman in the wilderness. The separation of our soul and spirit (Nazerite-the separated one), makes us not only feel alone in the world, but we truly do walk alone or apart from others and their opinion of us. The compensation is that we walk with God, and are never truly alone again. God takes us away from everything we depend on so he can become everything we need and cling to him. The parsha is about being a good judge, a righteous judge. Can we even judge with "righteous judgement"? Yes, when the LORD in us is the "judge" we will judge righteously and no man will be able to "bribe" us to put man above God again. ¶ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. Zec 13:8 And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left therein. Zec 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God. The spirit-old man-will must die to become “One will” with Gods will; the mind dies because it is shattered like a potter shatters his vessel of vanity so he can make a ‘vessel of honour’ out of “one lump” (person). The soul however is saved and sanctified in the wilderness and become “one with the new will” the King-Will of all kings-wills that are on the same page about everything. The Shepherd is the will of the sheep (desires for the Shepherd) that are scattered when the Shepherd (will) is cut off, but Jesus said he would gather all his “sheep” (desires for him) back into the Sheefold, where they will find green pastures and be able to go in and out and be safe. These are 100-fold desires that are scattered, and Jesus Christ will not leave even one desire without being fulfilled, even if it falls into the pit, the ditch. Mark 4, the parable of all parables talks about the sower who sows the seed, but it has to fall into the “good ground” in order to bring forth the fruit of the earth. The return of the “seed’ is 30 (new will-willing what God wills since this is the only “will” left when the seed brings forth) 60 (new heart-bride-wanting what God wants) and 100 (new mind-focus-thinking God’s thoughts). The parsha Shoftim also discusses the destruction of the two temples in Judaism and how this has affected Jews in their exile. Solomon and Herod’s temples represent the destruction of the two parts of us, our will-spirit and mind-ego; Only the soul remains and this is what God will make the “third and final temple” out of, our soul, his body because God himself will be both the will and doer in his body. Ki-Tiza-This Torah portion is about vowing a vow and keeping it. The story discussed in this portion is the solider that is not happy with the foreign wife he chose during time of war can put her away if she doesn’t please him. Let’s read the whole chapter in Deuteronomy 21: Deu 21:10 ¶ When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, Deu 21:11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; Deu 21:12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; (rid herself of her desires that grow from within her). Deu 21:13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. Deu 21:14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. Deu 21:15 ¶ If a man have two wives, (carnal mind and the heart) one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and [if] the firstborn son be hers that was hated: Deu 21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the firstborn: Deu 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn [is] his. Deu 21:18 ¶ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [that], when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Deu 21:19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; Deu 21:20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard Deu 21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. Here the son represents the ‘heart’ that is wicked, that has antichrist ruling in him. Deu 21:22 ¶ And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: Deu 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance. Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith. Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from “the curse” of the law, being made “a curse for us”: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal 3:15 ¶ Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though [it be] but a man's covenant, yet [if it be] confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal 3:17 And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise. Gal 3:19 ¶ Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Gal 3:20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is one. Gal 3:21 [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal 3:26 ¶ For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Ki-Tavo-This Torah Portion discusses the mitzvah (good deed) of first-fruits and how a Jew is to raise his voice during the prayer of giving first-fruits that enables the merit of building the third temple. In the New Testament it is written Christ is the first-fruits of “every creature”, and I understand this to mean, every creature must bring forth these first-fruits that enable them to build the temple, since God uses Christ as the foundation stone to build upon. We collectively are the “temple” of God, the Church, the elect, the whole house of Israel becoming “one Man” because it is written, God “forms the Spirit of Man within him”. Christ is given and then “formed” (yetzriah) into Man when the “creature” submits all her desires to God and this combination of desire and filling makes Man. Why does it say the builders rejected that stone? The carnal mind builds the first identity we have and that identity isn’t based on who we are but what we do. If our foundation is based on idolatry, worshipping an image of something we “think” is real, then we will become like that image in due time. Maxwell Maltz in his book Psychocybernetics says, when will and image conflict, image wins. I know this is true of our first vessel of dishonor. We behave according to how we see ourselves and not according to how we “will” to be. Even Paul says, I do what I don’t want to do and don’t do what I want to do. Here is why the “first-fruits” of all creation, Christ in us, the good will of God in us, will give us the ability to both will and do because it is God in us both willing and doing of his pleasure. Without the good and new will in us, we will not build a house any different than the first vessel of vanity. Only God can build the vessel of honor, which is why it is written, lest God be the builder of the house, the workmen work in vain. God must be the builder of the final temple built without hands, which temple we are. Every part of that temple is a member of his body, and every member has a function that makes the body work as a whole. My body doesn’t focus on any one part of itself unless I am attending to that part for the moment or that part of the body hurts for some reason. My smallest member can bring me the greatest focus if it hurts. Nitzavim-This Torah portion talks about God placing “life and death” before Israel and God admonishes, “choose life”. The will enables the choice of life over death and this will is in the people of God because as God gave the Torah from heaven to reside over the affairs of man on earth. So God give him-self so heaven can rule over the earth and earth can receive from heaven once again. Choosing death doesn’t take much effort before Christ is given. All we have to do is go with the natural flow of our desires and we will certainly choose selfishly. Yet once Christ is given, he chooses the good and refuses the evil and this choosing in us burns away all evil that is already in us, and sanctifies our soul, satisfying us with “good things”. This week’s parsha discusses to God Teshuvah, the return, the return to the root of our soul (Christ is the good root) so we can be grafted back into the “tree of Life” in heaven within us. Jesus asked, is John’s baptism from heaven or of men? I didn’t know the answer any better than the people who responded to him, till I experienced my own teshuvah, my own return to the good root of the tree of life. I know it is from heaven because it empowers the soul to put its hand to the plow without looking back at the world. The broad road that leads to destruction is the ‘one that adds onto our identity” or ego. The narrow road that leads to life is the one that returns the ego back to God (our tithe or ten percent our identity) and receives the “connection” of the soul and God. Rabbi Noson Weisz writes, his Rebbe Rabbi Yitchok Hutner of blessed memory characterized Rosh Hashanah as the holiday that celebrates the gift of "bechria" or "free will". Rosh Hashanah is the Day of Judgment and there can not be a judgment without choice. I am so happy to see and hear that Rabbi Hutner understood this as I do, and I only understand it because of the "free will" I was given on my own judgment day that was followed by my atonement or cover over all my sin nature. I understood why the Old Testament was so positive about judgment, while the New Testament seemed to want to avoid it at all costs. I am still so grateful that God made a way for us to be forgiven, but as I said many times, if he didn't also give us the POWER TO CHOOSE correctly after this forgiveness, what good would it ultimately do us? If we continue to follow old way of feeling and reasoning, all the forgiveness in the world would not be good enough. Rabbi Hutner also said in order to understand judgment we must first understand kindness. I understand this as well, which is why I say all the time, if I had not been given Christ (grace and truth) before judgment came, I would not have survived. Gods grace enables us to endure judgment because God covers our soul with Christ/chesed us before he judges us/gevurah. Only between these two does the heart learn compassion or the ability to walk in the shoes of another soul without the desire to judge that soul, but instead, leave all judgement to God who made that soul. The final comment I want to add to this parsha is how Rabbi Hutner used his free will to wipe out his free will, meaning he used it to become "one will" with God. This is what hapepnes when we are crucified with Christ when our will and his will become "one new will" in the soul to lead that soul as the temple of God, his house on earth. Vayelech-This Torah parsha is about the fact that Judaism commands parents to teach Torah to their children. It isn't a choice because as "true free will" knows, you don't change that much as you get older from the values that you learned as a child. The Torah parsha discusses "hakhel” or "gathering" observance. Once every seven years a Jew, man, woman or child, is commanded to go up to Jerusalem, where the "King" reads sections of Deuteronomy focusing on the covenant between God and the Jewish nation. The purpose is so they will learn and shall fear the Lord your God. Then the parsha says something very strange, "and the children who do not know, they shall hear and learn to fear the Lord your God". The writer Rabbi Yehudah Appel emphasises that the infant will learn to fear the Lord your God. I see this as the "man-child" who enters the Kingdom is the part of us (taken to the throne out of Satan’s reach) as the true "being" in us the child that shall lead us by the fear of the Lord within us. It is written, the woman (Eve who becomes Israel) will be saved in Childbearing, and the child she bears is her own new nature, her own new Man, her own NEW WILL, the ability to MAKE A FREE CHOICE. After I brought forth the first-fruits of my soul, Christ within my soul, God said “bring all things back to me” and here is the commandment to gather all of my heart, soul, and strength and mind too, back to God. The commandment was given to the “child” within me, the “man-child” that I didn’t even know anything yet, but that child was able to lead me into the “inner Kingdom” and grow in wisdom because God gave that child everything I needed to bring all things back to God. Aba Wagensberg writes, the sound of the Shofar on Roshhashana tells every Jew that deep inside he is a beautiful person who wants to do the right thing. I will add here that the more I see others in this light, understanding that the "Jew" in him is waiting for his 'heart cirucumcision" as I had mine, I want to be used by the creator to make another Jew reach his potential to become a new vessel and therefore I preach the “everlasting gospel” from the mid-heaven within me. The holy of holies is our spirit made one with Christ, and our holy place is our heart sanctified with the LIGHT of truth(Menorah is lit) and the table of law (judgement seat) that is in the heart making war against the enemies who would reside here. The following reminds me that all parts of us are being joined and gathered together on judgment day, which comes 'first to the house of God" in us, but then to the gentile part of us as well. Many times it is written, but I give you Revelation 7 and Zechariah 12 that explain Judah is gathered first. Yet all of Israel and the great crowd from all nations and tongues and tribes, are also seen in Rev 7, because these are the gentiles who are grafted into the tribes or branches of Israel, Romans 11. The parsha explains these verses: You stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel. Your little ones, your wives, and your stranger who is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water. That you should enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and into his oath, which the Lord your God makes with you this day. That he may establish you today for a people to himself, and that he may be to you a God, as he has said to you, and as he has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And not with you alone will I make this covenant and this oath. But with him who stands here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day. (Deut. 29:9-14) I want to comment about “all those who are not here with us this day”: Joe 3:8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, (people of Sheba-daughter of an oath, of seven) to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken [it]. Who is that one that keeps an oath? The daughter of seven? Elisabeth (oath of God), the mother of John the Baptist, the wife of Zacharias (God remembers) from the tribe of Aaron. Sheba means 'seven' and shaba means 'oat'. Mic 4:7 And I will make her that halted a remnant and her "that was cast far off" a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. Zec 6:15 And they [that are] "far off" shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were "far off" are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:14 ¶ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us]; Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace; Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Eph 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were "afar off", and to them that were nigh. Eph 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Ha’azinu-This Torah parsha asks, why does becoming fat - or having material sucess lead to deserting God? The verse in Deuteronomy 32:15, the "Song of Moses" warns Israel against this future tragedy. I got fat literally because I could not find any other sucess in the world. Now I can see this was a hidden blessing, because it forced me to look for the truth of why I was so empty, so hungry all the time. Only the true filling of the light that I searched for in food, was able to fill me completely so that I would not look to sources outside myself any longer. Till I reached this level of true light that is the "life of Man" within me, I did "try to follow God, trust God", but it was always so I could loose weight. As soon as I would loose the weight, I turned to other lacks I felt I had, or other sources that I thought I needed to be happy in this world. The law of attraction says, you will attract more of what you already have. For me this was a desire for food and weight and anything that I felt would fill me up. Once I was healed and the evil desire was uprooted and the soul corrected, I draw to me more and more of what I know God gave me as his free gift, Gods good will, his faith and grace that come from the law written in my heart. Rabbi Aba Wagensberg tells us, the Shabbat between Rosh Hashana (judgement day) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) is called is Shabbat Shuva (the Shabbat of Return). I have already explained that after I received the "mind of Christ" that shortly after, God said, bring all things back to me" and how I realized many years later that he said this to Christ in me. I kept the "second Sabbath" that is required to keep for Messiah to come. It is the "REST" that is still available for the children of God, and as long as it is called "TODAY" that rest is still waiting. The Rabbi continues....The Amidah of the High Holiday prayers contains the prayer, "You chose us from all the nations, You loved us and You desired us." The Jewish people responded to Gods request to bring Torah to the nations with "we will do and we will hear". Since the innermost heart condition is called the Jew in us, it isn't till we gather together that we are able to do (God’s will) because we hear God. Jesus tells us the parable of the two sons that their father the King asked to do something for him. The first son said he would but he didn’t, and the second son said he wouldn’t but he did. Who asked Jesus did the Fathers will? The answer is the one who did it, not the one who said he would, but didn’t. Again I see our two natures. The old nature may intend to do right but it doesn’t, and the second new creation doesn’t claim that he is able to do Gods will, but he is able, because it is God in him that both wills and does of his good pleasure in the born again son. The three levels of love are represented by the tefillin wrapped three times around the middle finger. With each loop the Jew recites the words, "I am bethrothed to you" and three rings represent the three levels of love. I add from my own understanding that this would be the spiritual level (will), the soul level (emotions) and the strength level (physically, actions). When the free will rules over the emotions and actions, doing only what we see and hear God doing in us, his will in us, we are free completely. Deu 31:22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. Deu 31:30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended. Deu 32:44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea (salvation) the son of Nun. (Fish-representing Messiah-also posterity, from nuwn, to increase, propogate, continues, to sprout, put forth). Rev 15:1 ¶ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. Rev 15:3 And "SING THE SONG OF MOSES" the servant of God, and "THE SONG OF THE LAMB", saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints. Rev 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Rev 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, THE TEMPLE OF THE TABERNACLE of the TESTIMONY in HEAVEN was OPENED: Rev 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, "God will provide himself a lamb" for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. It didn't say God will provide a lamb himself, but "HIMSELF A LAMB": God becomes the LAMB that he provides us with: Rev 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. Rev 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. Jhn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Jhn 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof . Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: V’Zot HaBracha-This Torah Parsha discusses the end of Moses life and that he was still filled with vigor, (passion) for life. Jesus said the Father wants us to worhip him in Spirit and truth and that he wants us to have abundant life....a quality of life I never experienced till I was "joined" to God through Christ. Everyone wants to be happy, fulfilled, and it is written few find this road to life, but why? True happiness and fulfilment come from being able to continually receive from God so we can continually give what we have. To find God and be joined to his good will, we have to "loose our life", meaning we have to stop thinking of ourselves and think of God the source of all our fulfillment. Since most people don't "know" God in the sense that they are sure he is able to fulfill them, God gives us his people who do "know" him, i.e. the prophets and the giver of the law, all culminating in the experience of his EXPRESS IMAGE, his ONLY SON, the yechida of all creation, the TRUE MAN that is in the image and likeness of God. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever more is also the one who is REVEALED IN HIS SAINTS. 2Th 1:1 ¶ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2Th 1:2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2Th 1:3 ¶ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 2Th 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 2Th 1:5 [Which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 2Th 1:6 Seeing [it is] a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (The great tribulation is that God destroys our enemies within us so he can save the soul that they trouble). 2Th 1:10 When “he shall come” to be glorified “in his saints”, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 2Th 1:11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power: 2Th 1:12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is a difficult scripture for the carnal mind to take. Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints. Remember Judah was told to keep their solemn vows so the wicked would no more pass through them? What is the vow of Judah? Psa 116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits toward me? Psa 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. Remember Jesus gave the cup to his disciples and said 'this is my blood'? The Holy Spirit is this blood poured out on all flesh. Remember too Jesus said he would not drink from this cup till he did so in his Fathers Kingdom, and then he said the one who dips his sop with him, is the one to betray, (give him up): It was Judah who had to fulfill this vow: Psa 116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints. Psa 116:16 O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. Psa 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. Psa 116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, Psa 116:19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. In Psalm 149 we read that the NEW SONG and his Praise (Judah means praise of God) will be sung in the congregation of his SAINTS. Psa 149:1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints. Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Deu 33:1 ¶ And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. Deu 33:2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, (thorny) and rose up (zarach-rise, come forth, break out, shine, appear) from Seir (shaggy, hairy, he-goat-giving of the atonement-from sa'ar-to storm, shiver, bristle, be very afraid, dread) unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran,(place of caverns-from pa'ar-to glorify, beautify, go over the boughs) and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law (da'ath) for them. Deu 33:3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy words. (Remember Mary sat at Jesus feet and he said she received the 'best part' that would not be taken from her). Deu 33:4 Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. Deu 33:5 And he was king in Jeshurun, (early name for Jerusalem) when the heads (Golgotha-skulls-Adam’s dead men’s bones) of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were "gathered together". (made alive by the spirit of prophecy, the testimony/witness of Jesus Rev 19:10) Day 104 Faith, Hope and Love these three………..but the greatest of these….is Love I woke up during the middle of the night, which is a common occurance in the past decades for several reasons, but last night the complete necessity for love was brought home like never before. One of many family members are struggling with their faith at this particular point in their journey, but it was clear as a cloudless day in Arizona that what we really struggle with is “will I continue to love”. If we choose love, we will choose faith and hope. If we decide that love’s demands are too difficult, we will not need faith in God or hope for his continual and most sufficient grace. Conceptually I believe most would agree that love is defined as the fulfillment of our needs and desires. It is written that God is love and that he is also a “consuming fire”. What does love consume? Everything that is not love for love is sufficient unto love, as a poet once said. Rabbi Leitman, a Kabbalist in Israel who teaches the writings of Yehudah Ashlag said, if we knew what God wanted from us, we would all run in the opposite direction. I say, don’t we already do that all the time? As I grow in love and decrease in self motivated desire, the choice to continue loving comes up dozens of times each day. Everytime I choose to love once more, I feel the life of God rush in and renew me, but I also increase in understanding of why many choose to walk out of Loves light. Watching the suffering of any living thing is difficult for a lover, but knowing how little I am able to spare the suffering one or help him in any real and meaningful way, often makes me grow weary in well doing. The only reason I am able to contine to choose love is due to the grace that was poured out on me at the time Christ was given to me, raised in me, begotten through me. The grace of God is sufficient to keep choosing love, which requires hope and faith as its wings. My hope is for all to grow in love and for faith to reach the good ground of being in every soul so it can choose the good (love) and refuse the evil (selfishness). 1Pe 1:22 seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently: Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; Phl 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. Phl 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment; Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. I spend a lot of time in mourning over the choices I made prior to my visitation; choices that cost other loved ones dearly. Joy and mercy come every morning and I am grateful that I have another chance to bring love into the lives of others instead of “being disappointed” that they can not love me enough or that I am not able to love them enough. Love is patient and kind, it suffers long and yet it believes all that is true and endures till the truth is manifest in the life of everyone that love has brought into our lives. Love never quits hoping for those whom it has chosen to fellowship with. Isa 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Jer 31:2 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, The people [which were] left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; [even] Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. Jer 31:3… The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jhn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Jhn 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Jhn 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Jhn 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. . Jhn 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. Jhn 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. The commandments of Jesus are to love one another as he loved us. (We too must lay down our lives (self-ego) for one another if that love is to manifest). The love of God is shed abroad in our heart when Christ is given to us and this makes love not only possible, but inevitable even if we do struggle with how difficult love can be in us. The suffering of love is that love must be the source for and in everyone I love in order for them to be as free as I am in love. My freedom becomes a heavy yoke when I stop trusting (faith) that God can do for others as he has done for me. Jesus said his yoke was easy and his burden light, and so it is when I let him carry them in me. The minute I look at a loved one, doubting that the love of God is unable to penetrate their soul, hopelessness quickly follows. It is so unbearable to experience this doubt and hopelessness that immediately I cry out to God (to love) to help me continue to love…….no matter what. If all that is left in the end is love “personified” (made flesh), then all this tribulation will have been worth the pain. Till every eye has seen the Lord, I will choose and walk in the love that demands everything. God will shake the heavens (our heart, his throne) and the earth (our mind) in these last days till all that is left is faith, hope and love manifest in his people; may we pray to receive the grace that is sufficient unto a love that is strong as death. Sgs 8:6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave: the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame. Day 105 Jewish Feast days, Holidays Rosh Hashanah-symbolism of the Shofar- the three distinct sounds: Tekiah-one long straight blast-The Kings coronation: Acknowledging God as our King (will of wills): my discernment about the number one and the length is that Gods will is ONE and his name will be known over all the earth in due time, the fullness of time that will come to “every soul” that are visited by God through Jesus Christ, Messiah. Shevarim -three medium wailing sounds: yearning in the Jewish heart to connect to God: I believe the number three is the mourning of spirit soul and body/mind/strength, and this mourning will be in the night, but “joy” (Simchat Torah-The Joy of the LORD) will come in the morning. Teruah (nine quick blasts in short sucession), is the alarm to wake up from slumber, death; These quick blasts bring clarity and alertness and focus: Here I discern the number nine is both the number of pregnancy, and the letter teth/the vessel of honour must replace the vessel of vanity of our mind. Aish points out the Tishrei (month of all three, Rosh Hashanah (head of the year, New Year), Yom Kippur (atonement day) and Sukkot (feast of tabernacles) correspond to the Jews improving in three major components of self, mind, (Jacob) heart (Isaac-Akeida-sacrifice or offering) and limbs/body (Abraham). Rosh Hashanah is for the renewing of the mind, Yom Kippur is for the heart in solemn reconnection to God: Finally Sukkot (Abraham-hospitality) represents the body/limbs because it involes movement and physical activity, like building a Sukkah to eat and sleep in, shaking the four spices, and dancing at Simchat Beith Hashoeva celebrations; Four spices: These spices represent the four levels the Holy Spirit or ruach qodesh affects: Etrog-citron-orange-the heart, Myrtle-eye, Willow-mouth, Palm-Spine (upright is the tzaddik, the righteous man). Passover-Pesach: Passover- ABC's: From Aish.com and other Jewish sources. Passover is an eight day Holiday, Jews eat Matzah (unleavened bread) with no chametz-represents arrogance, being puffed up: There is a search for chametz by candlelight; (Menorah in the holy place represents the Neshama or candle of the LORD that searches the inward parts of the heart. The remaining chametz is burned the next morning or sold to a non Jew for the week of Passover. The Seder on the first two nights is to experience going from slavery to freedom: Jews retell the story of Exodus as recorded in the Haggadah, and eat the symbols of slavery: Bitter herbs (marror), recounting the ten plagues, drinking four cups of wine to go along with the four levels of redemption, eating matzah. The angel of death passes over the Jewish houses, but I also see the Passover as the event of Israel "passing over" the red sea: My experience of being taken through the singularity, the zero point of existence, was the experience of being taken out of Egypt: I needed Christ with me to take me through. I could not have found this place without Christ. We rolled together as “one” (like the challah loaf) one bread, one body, face to face, cheek to cheek (the kiss is what kept me alive). Kiss the son lest you be destroyed while his wrath is kindled a little while. The Egyptians were coming, and I had to follow quickly or die. Yet without the holy kiss, face to face, I would have died going through the narrow road to life. The Ma Nishtana, or "four questions" and the answers. Jews explain that eating matzah represents unity; simpicity: Marror represents materialism, money. Who is rich? The one who is happy with his portion: Dipping represents the physical pleasure and passions: We live in a culture that glorifies the pursuit of pleasure. Reclining represents pride and haughtiness: All recline on Passover, because of our pride due to our possessions. May all Jews everywhere rid themselves of the tendancies that come from being in exile. Other beliefs and rituals on Passover: Jews tell us God created the world with "ten" declarations, which were transformed into the Ten Commandments by the "ten plagues". Each plauge turned off one aspect of creation: I understand these ten plagues to be for our old man, the old spirit or will that needs to die for the soul (Israel) to live. Jews tell us “let there be light” was shut down by the plague of darkness: (I add for Egypt the ego of Israel) Let us make "man" was shut down by "the plague of the first-born". (The first born must die so the second born (Israel) can live. The creation of vegetation was shut down by the plague of locusts, etc. (The old and carnal mind that is at enmity with God is taken away, eaten away by these locusts). God attacked the forces of nature in order to frighten Pharoah so he would let Israel go. We read in the parsha that the plagues were sent to demonstrate that there was "no reality". What we perceive as truth is only miracles based on belief. On the deepest level of life, emet-truth is emmunah-faith. The difference between them is an illusion of the mind. (and once it is taken away, we realize this; there is no mistake about it. The mind covers the darkness that is the “house of God’ the soul of Israel. Once the mind is removed, which is our “idea” of reality, we find there is no reality apart from God, Praise his Holy Name. The Jews add that Truth rests on the foundation of faith. I can only say Wow how true! The Ten Commandments keep the declarations of creation turned on; meaning the way we act and believe keeps our new mind focused on what reality is meant to be like. New Testament Passover 1Cr 5:1 ¶ It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. The father here is Satan, who is the father of all spirits/wills/men that are not born again: Ye are of your father the devil, said Jesus: Satan keeps the soul hostage like Israel was exiled in Egypt. 1Cr 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. The antichrist spirit needs to be taken out of us, to show he never was mean to be of us: Jesus said it is what comes out of a man that defiles him, meaning the antichrist spirit who deceives the whole world. 1Cr 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed, 1Cr 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Cr 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Jesus told Peter that Satan had asked to sift him, after he already had the revelation of Christ given to him from the true God, the Father of all spirits. It is only when a spirit is born again, and a soul is converted that they will be able to strengthen their brothers, the unity of all the Church/elect. 1Cr 5:6 Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 1Cr 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 1Cr 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth. Paul explains that keeping the feast of Passover makes us a new lump (new creation) if we don't keep any leaven in that lump, but with unleavened bread of sincerity (faith in God) and truth. Galatians 5 also discusses the leaven Gal 5:7 ¶ Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? The only one who hinders us is the antichrist spirit that is resurrected along with the "Just" Jesus Christ in us. The antichrist is the spirit of the world and it is written, if we love the world the love of the Father is not in us. Gal 5:8 This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you. Gal 5:9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. Gal 5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. The only one who troubles us is Satan and his messengers who all need to come out of us so they can't trouble us anymore. Christ in us will overcome the "works of Satan" in us, and when he does, he will marry the soul, his bride and make her "one flesh' with him. We become bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh as they were "one" in the beginning. Gal 5:11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. Paul explains if his heart is circumcised, why does he still suffer since the offence of the cross (sin nature) ceased. Gal 5:12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. (Paul wants Satan to be cut off in us, to be put under our feet). Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. The antichrist spirit is removed in three parts, spirit/will, soul-heart and mind, and body, our actions as well as the actions of the whole Church as one body. My understanding of the plague of the “first-born” is the message of the whole Bible. The first-born must die so the “second born” (born again) can live. Isaiah 19:19 makes it pretty clear that God is the God of Egyptians his people, (first ego-vessel of vanity) but Assyria (happiness, a step) is the work of his hands. God is making a ‘new thing” in the earth, a new creation when he writes his law in our hearts and minds and gives us a “right” Spirit. When these are accomplished in Egypt, when the first life dies, then Israel becomes Gods “inheritance”. Israel is the soul that comes out of the first life, the soul that becomes Gods body so he can bring forth his Messiah, his Christ through that body he prepared for himself and the person who experiences “Both of these” realities within them, can LIVE. Yom Kippur Judaism teaches if you can get to the "root of the problem you can eliminate it entirely, and this is the goal of the "Al Chet" prayer. Ten days of repentance culminate with Yom Kippur reminds me of these verses in the New Testament, Rev 2:8 ¶ And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna (myrrh-bitter gum and costly perfume: Hebrew marar-to be bitter) write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan. Here Jesus is telling these souls whose 'old man' is getting ready to die that they are "poor in spirit", but are really rich. These have Christ in them who will shortly circumcise the heart, which is the true meaning of a Jew. Without this circumcision, a Jew is still joined (synogogue means union) to Satan, the spirit of antichrist at the 'root' of the tree. Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation "ten days": be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Rev 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. The first resurrection is Christ the first-fruits born through the woman/Israel, Judah and Ephraim-Joseph) and this leads to the second death, which is baptism by fire. Christ in them will baptize the old will, or our first spirit in fire and the Holy Spirit, but this will only "kill" the old will/man by joining him to Christ- the good will given to the soul, even though this salvation comes "through the Jew". The two goats of Yom Kippur were to be exactly the same size, value and appearance, both chosen together. One is offered in the sanctuary, the other (scapegoat) sent to the desert, desolation. Jews tell us that till age 13, Esau and Jacob were identitical. I understood this years ago when I realized after my Yom Kippur experience that both are the same person outwardly, but inwardly, there are two different parts to us, and only one part gets the birthright, the second birth. The goat sent to the wilderness is the goat for Azazel, the acronym for "ze le'umat ze asa Elokim", God has made one as well as the other". The saying comes from the following verse in Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes 7:14, In the day of prosperity be joyful, in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other. God made both Esau and Jacob. Good needs evil in order to exist, in order for good to have something to reject. The God Jews are told to fear on Yom Kippur becomes the God of forgiveness and unlimited Love. The goat (sair) refers to Esau according to Judaism, but I was given this Reveltion after my own Yom Kippur experience in 1992. In Deuteronomy 33, one of my favorite chapters, God revealed to me that “the LORD in me rose up from this goat”, this Seir even as it is written: Deu 33:1 ¶ And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. Deu 33:2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them. Deu 33:3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy words. Deu 33:4 Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. Deu 33:5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together. God said Jacob he loved but Esau (hairy) he hated: So the LORD became SIN for Israel so Israel and gentile together could become the righteousness of the LORD: The LORD himself bore our sins, our iniquities; The LORD became who he hated so the one he hated could become like the ONE he loves. The writer of this article Noson Weisz says we externalize the inner man through "speech"that reveals what is inside the heart and mind of the person. The New Testament tells us the same thing: Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. When the Law was engrafted into my heart, my mouth could not stop confessing this reality continually for years and years. It was a fire in my bones that needed to come out through the speech from my heart. I understand the meaning of the "spirit of prophecy" through this experience, which is how the "whole house of Israel" is gathered together again from "dead men's bones" to the LIVING "MAN" in Gods image and likeness. The Last Adam the life giving Spirit becomes the "new Man" in Christ Jesus, a name above all names. It is written, the 'witness/testimony' of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy: Once we "see Jesus" we have seen the New Man God is making us to become, and Israel is our new heart while the gentile nature becomes the 'new creation" of our mind, and God puts them both together as ONE Man, a new creature, one that we have never seen or heard before that day. Aaron bears the "ark" (coffin) of the covenant continuasly, because it is the "high priest" who enters the Holy of Holies to see the true connection God has with everyone at this level. Here the High Priest becomes aware of his neshama, which allows us to overcome all confusion and conflicts so we can understand the things separating us from God. God gave Israel Yom Kippur so on this one special day, God allowed them to step out of their ordinary selves and gave them a glimpse of their true connection to Him, and allowed Israel’s representative, the High Priest, to become self aware on the level of neshama. This allowed Israel to return to their origins, to temporarily resolve their conflicts, and to be able to overcome the things separating them from God. True teshuvah or the return to God only needs to happen once in a lifetime in order to remember the clarity we have when we get into the presence of God, in the Holy of Holies: God makes us a Holy and Royal priesthood of Kings (will) and priest (overcoming all impure desires) to be his peculiar people. Shavuot- The book of Ruth is read on Shevuot the anniversary of the birth and death of King David. Ruth is the story of a gentile (Ruth means "friend") of Naomi (pleasant- an Israelite) who becomes King David's great grandmother. The story is about accepting Torah in all its details and it takes place during the "wheat harvest" execatly the time of Shevuot. When Jesus healed one blind man he had to heal him twice. The first time, the man said "I see men as trees" and then Jesus healed him again and he saw everyone clearly: Aish speaks of a three-step processof hit'batlut' (self nulification), dveikut (cleaving to God) _ and nitz'chiut (aquiring eternity) which describes the progression of a tree's growth. Torah compares people to trees, so knowing what manner of fruit a tree is of, really means what kind of fruit does a man bring forth? A good tree brings forth good fruit and what is better than the "good will of God" brought forth through the soul. The writer of this article tells us, “a seed is placed into the ground and dies. This is self nulification and represents the "end" of our ego; as the seed falls apart it becomes part of the ground (dveikut) cleaving to the source of life that it will become "one" with; next it grows and could continue forever (nitz'chiut)”. Shevuot represents the bringing in of the harvest and the whole purpose of this last book is to reveal that gentiles are the harvest of Judaism or Israel who becomes the "ground" the seed (Jesus Christ) falls into so it can bring forth a harvest (this is how Abraham becomes the father of MANY Nations/goy/gentiles). Sukkot- (feast of Tabernacles) - understanding the difference between lack and filling. Jews discuss how difficult it is to enjoy what we have instead of always looking for more things to do. It is difficult with the first birth, the carnal mind that is run by the "old will" the crooked serpent to appreciate what one has for long; when I entered the "rest of God” his Sabbath, it became joyful to just sit and enjoy life. I could do it for hours at a time and be at peace. I could also write for hours at a time and have the same kind of peace within, only more energy than I ever thought possible for doing anything that I felt moved to do. God tells Israel they must make their own Sukka, which is what every Jew does on this holiday: Paul was known as a "tent maker' and that is what it means: He was making his own Sukka or tabarnacle, but it is written, Lest God be the builder of the house, the workmen work in vain; God is really building the Sukka within your body: The Holiday of Sukkot is after Yom Kippur for that reason: It is "you and God" making "MAN" together. LET US make MAN in OUR image and likeness: We will all together become the 'THIRD TEMPLE" in Jerusalem when God is finished gathering his trees and building his Sukka within his body, his Church, his elect, his Israel. Rev 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony (witness) in heaven was opened: Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. Our first tabernacle is our first birth where we identify with what we see, but there is a greater tabernacle being built by God within his people and this one is built without hands: Yet look at what Hebrews tells us: Hbr 9:6 ¶ Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God]. Hbr 9:7 But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors of the people: (THIS IS YOM KIPPUR) Hbr 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: The Holy Spirit interprets that the way into the holiest of all is not made manifest for Israel, while the first tabernacle was yet standing: The ego can't enter into the Holy of Holies because it can't even enter the Holy place, which only Israel (the soul of Levi) could enter. Levi means "entwined" because Levi (law) gets dveikut, cleaves to God via Jesus Christ, as we see with John the Baptist from the house of Aaron making it possible for the "dove-Israel' to land on Christ to become "ONE" with him. John said he must decrease so Christ can increase (John needed to be beheaded or self nulified): The seed must fall into the ground and die so that it can RISE and bring forth "trees" to build the SUKKA, the tabernacle made without hands, the body of Jesus Christ, that is "God manifest in our mortal flesh". Day 106 Malachai, tithes and the "mind of man" written on March 11 2002 I love the book of Malachai (means Messenger of God), and we who are purified, are his messengers, for our tongues speak with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Ever notice how the tongue and “leaves” on a tree, look similar? The leaves are for the “healing of the nations”, to those who can hear those tongues. The nations are the gentile part of us, or as Jews tell us, the “backside” of man, the “mind”, if he is standing in the right direction. Jesus said “get behind me Satan”, and behind the son is where the “mind” should always have been. The mind was meant to follow the Spirit of God, not lead it. Satan was the most subtile living beast created, and the serpent represents the teacher of wisdom in Judaism. I see the serpent as the “will” that should have led in Spirit and truth, but it will take the greater serpent, the Messiah in us to actually fulfill this purpose in the soul. Be wise as serpents but harmless as Doves said Jesus; The Dove is the symbol for Israel and she has the anointing in her mouth when she returns to the ark with the olive branch in her mouth. The mouth is where truth and faith is confessed unto salvation. We also see the Holy Spirit land on Jesus in the form of a Dove, showing that Israel is anointed after the water baptism, representing the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ in Israel. Somehow the “mind” which was supposed to be the “image” of God, became the image of the “beast” (crooked serpent-will), and God’s wisdom was lost and man’s wisdom became the wisdom of his own understanding rather than understanding Gods mind. To overcome Satan is to overcome the beast and his image or seed, the carnal mind of man. What can overcome Satan but the anointed Son of God? Man needs Christ as his head-the mind of Christ) must become the “good will” of man and will be so when the old man, the crooked serpent is straightened by being lifted up. Once the will is straight and good, the “renewed mind” will follow the will as a servant. The fire of the Holy Spirit baptizes the “will” into Jesus name, and it will “stand” once again; (stand is the word for resurrection in the Bible). Once the man Jesus crushes the head of the serpent under his feet, man will have the right head and the head of Christ is God. Christ is the lamb (good and pure will) slain from the foundation of the world, who never usurps Gods authority and always knows how to STAND in the presence of God. He understands self-nullification so God can be all in all. God said “let us” make man in our image (and likeness, explained below), but for man to be in the “image of God” the head of Satan is bruised under the feet of man (Jesus), whose head is Christ, and at this, the serpent (crooked will of man) will have been “lifted up”. He is lifted up from the backside, up the spine from the womb/belly (where he crawls in the dust) around the back of the head, resting on the forehead, as the “single eye”. If your eye is single, your whole body will be full of light. Jesus said if your “right eye” offend you, pluck it out and the right eye is of Satan before the mind is crushed from the potter (God). Jews wore the word of God on their forehead, where the Egyptians also had the symbol of the serpent lifted up. The kings also had the “rod and staff” crossed over their hearts, showing the right should move to the left and receive “from” the right. The image of God is man after the will is lifted up and Jesus said “if I be lifted up I will draw all “men” unto me”. Take up your cross and follow me, means “be lifted up” as I am for God said “after two days I will lift them up and the third day, they will “stand” in my sight. God will restore the right image of himself in Christ, but what about the likeness? The woman will be in the likeness of the man, whose head is Christ, whose head is God. She is the left side, or reflection of her husband, as she looks only to her husband. When the man is Satan, she is the “image” of the beast, the carnal mind of Satan; when Christ is her head-(her life giving spirit), her soul-mind, magnifies the Lord. Man is looking for the “ark of the covenant”, but it is revealed right in “front of him” when man has entered the holy of holies or has his spirit renewed by Christ baptized by the fire of God. How can the Ark of the Covenant been seen in front of him? Put your two hands together, fingertips touching, and thumbs face to face; you are looking at the cherubim over the mercy seat, the image and likeness of God with the Shekinah—his Glory, between the right and left hand. The left is the likeness of the right, which is ONE with God in the new man in Christ. The fingers represent the wings or spirits that touch and are one again as man (Adam) and woman (Eve-mother of all living) were ONE in the beginning. When the woman has her true husband, she must submit to him and this is how the man helps his wife by telling her the truth that she must confess it unto salvation; God becomes the right hand through Christ, the head of man. The woman/soul that came out of his side the left side experiences correction, the chastening of sons; The feet are how the whole Man (no longer male or female but “one”) “walks” on earth by the spirit. The soul touches the earth and when the Man is standing upright, the earth will REFLECT heaven; let your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. If we have the "right-righteous" head the whole man can be restored, spirit, soul and body. Everyone knows by now that we are all male and female but in Christ there is no distinction outwardly. In the physical world we see the male-female principle manifested as the majority of men’s brains are more left brained (logic), but this is really the right side since the left and right brain cross over in the back so that the left side of the body is ruled by the right brain and vice versa. I believe this is what gets straightened out when the “serpent is lifted up” and the right brain (left side) is now is submitted to God. The left side is the female side which his the more spiritual wholistic side, while the rational left side, is now submitted to the right, creating a new way of walking and thinking; Revelation first and then “thinking after God” rather than thinking before or for him. I have explained that there is a real inner earthquake at the "coming of Christ" within us. We are the earth that quakes when God shakes both the heavens and earth (within our own experience) in the last days. The coming of the Lord is a physical experience, very visceral and affects the body in many ways while it is going on. Man seems mad at first, trying to understand all the physical sensations and upheavals of his spirit because the spirit is what moves the body: Trying to explain this experience to another's understanding is impossible since they have no "frame of reference" for it unless they experienced the same thing. The brain becomes more wholistic in time, meaning the new mind is no longer male or female, but wholistic, using both sides of the brain in a more unified way. The harlot (carnal mind) has seven demons that must be cast out: The seven eyes of the Lamb observes and judges the seven candlesticks- sefirot-lights, churches) and sanctifies them. God marries his sons, his virgins after they bring forth Christ their first-fruits, their tithe from within them. When the image is complete in Christ, the man joins to the lower members, to renew the "mind" (on earth as it is in heaven/heart). Jesus cleaned the feet of his disciples for the feet touch the earth and pick up dust most easily. The soul must walk by the spirit which is saying the body, soul and God walk together as one. Jesus cleaned the disciple’s feet or they could have no part with him; he said they would understand this later. The left side is the wife (mind) and the servants are the feet they both walk with; the feet and mouth should be in unison if the soul both talks and walks by the same will or force within the heart. Out of the abundance of the heart (spirit) the mouth speaks. The spirits of men, become "one Spirit" when it goes from the "man of lawlessness" to the son of the law, (Bar-Mitzvah in Judaism) when the sons heart is circumcised and when he “stands” with the law in his heart; Jesus at 12, shows us this son when he answered the leaders in the temple because he is the “child who will lead Israel” in the regeneration: Jesus is able to help the soul understand all things, as she confesses them unto salvation and walk by the spirit of her new husband. What he tells her in private she will confess from the house-top. The woman is the final product, the beauty of man, and the reflection of his unity with God. It is written that God will do a new thing in the earth; a woman (soul and likeness of God) shall compass a Man (image of God). The armor of God protects the man for all battles in the spiritual realm. The helmet of salvation is the knowledge of salvation, which is not becoming a better person, but a New Spirit that is able to make a "new Man, a new creation" where all things become new and all old things are passed away. The breastplate of righteousness are the heart that is made righteous in Christs fulfillment of the law in us; the heart is also the 12 gates into the city, the tribes of Israel as “one man” held up by the Urim/light and thummin/perfection/fulfillment: the loins girded with truth is where the new Man brings forth the spirit of truth after the serpent is 'lifted up; the shield of faith on his left is to ward off the fiery darts of the enemy, and the right hand holds the sword of the spirit which is the word of God or the SPIRIT of the WORD that comes out of the mouth of Jesus Christ to establish the heart. The feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace is the ability to walk by the spirit of God, for the sons of God are peacemakers, no longer bound in the leather-beasts shoes, but have removed those for the good news of peace. John the baptist said he couldn’t remove one single shoelace of the one coming after him, but this one could thresh his floor, baptise with fire and pluck up the tree (of knowledge of evil) and leave the good side, the tree of life, a planting of the Lord. Now I want to discuss how I see these things in Malachai, beginning with the spirit of Elijah, which in Judaism is the spirit of REPENTANCE (teshuvah) or return to God. 1. Behold, I will send * my messenger, and he shall prepare * the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek * , shall suddenly come * to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come * , saith * the LORD of hosts. 2. But who may abide the day of his coming ? and who shall stand when he appeareth ? for he is like a refiner's * fire, and like fullers * ' soap: 3. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier * of silver: and he shall purify * the sons of Levi, and purge * them as gold and silver, that they may offer * unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Silver” represents the hearts desire, no longer tainted or blackened, but a pure heart shall see God. The tribe of Levi means “attached” and the priesthood must attach to the “son of God”; gold is the the Word in the mouth which brings forth the oracles of God put in the heart and tried by fire. 4. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant * unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. What this means to me is once Levi is purified, Judah the “will” (serpent of both Satan and Messiah) will be a pleasant offering. The prodical has returned and the ancient of days stands up and Michael (who is like God) will fight for Gods children Israel. 5. And I will come near * to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers *, and against false swearers *, and against those that oppress * the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside * the stranger from his right, and fear * not me, saith * the LORD of hosts. 6. For I am the LORD, I change * not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed * Even though the sin nature is burned away, the son of God is spared through all this as he is renewed, regenerated in spirit, for the son is as the father and the father as the son; both are spirit and Life. 7. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away * from mine ordinances, and have not kept * them. Return * unto me, and I will return * unto you, saith * the LORD of hosts. But ye said * , Wherein shall we return * ? 8. Will a man rob * God? Yet ye have robbed * me. But ye say * , Wherein have we robbed * thee? In tithes and offerings. 9. Ye are cursed * with a curse: for ye have robbed * me, even this whole nation. (Remember the cursing and blessings Moses expounded to the children of Israel?) 10. Bring * ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove * me now herewith, saith * the LORD of hosts, if I will not open * you the windows of heaven, and pour you out * a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. (Meat is doing the will of God and that is done by Christ within who needs to be in the house of God). Melchizadek, who “received tithes” from Abraham, means Abraham gave back the “Christ, the first-fruits” the seed called in Isaac that God gave him”. 11. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy * the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit * before the time in the field, saith * the LORD of hosts. 12. And all nations shall call you blessed * : for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith * the LORD of hosts. 13. Your words have been stout * against me, saith * the LORD. Yet ye say *, What have we spoken * so much against thee? 14. Ye have said *, It is vain to serve * God: and what profit is it that we have kept * his ordinance, and that we have walked * mournfully before the LORD of hosts? 15. And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up ; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered . 16. Then they that feared the LORD spake often * one to another: and the LORD hearkened * , and heard * it, and a book of remembrance was written * before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought * upon his name. 17. And they shall be mine, saith * the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up * my jewels; and I will spare * them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18. Then shall ye return * , and discern * between the righteous and the wicked,between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.. Understanding the difference between good and evil, life and death, light and darkness, is impossible without being regenerated (born again) in spirit. The mind or old spirit of man is unable to discern these things till it is purified and rises to God and then God returns every minute in true timelessness to the mind, to renew it and keep it renewed as the likeness of God. Be you perfect like your father in heaven can only be done when you see and know your father and understand you can only reflect him as the moon reflects the sun, as the soul reflects the true Spirit of God. For, behold, the day cometh * , that shall burn * as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do * wickedly,shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up , saith * the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave * them neither root nor branch. 2. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise * with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth * , and grow up * as calves of the stall. 3. And ye shall tread down * the wicked;for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do * this, saith * the LORD of hosts. 4. Remember * ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded * unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful * day of the LORD: 6. And he shall turn * the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Day 107 Adam-Eve-Lucifer-Israel-Jesus Christ: March 3 2002 Isaiah 14: the salvation of Jacob, who is the “son of God Israel” Exodus 4:22!!! 1. For the LORD will have mercy * on Jacob, and will yet choose * Israel, and set * them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined (here is another evidence that gentiles will be grafted into the branches of Israel) * with them, and they shall cleave (saphach-joined, attach one-self, abide)* to the house of Jacob. 2. And the people shall take * them, and bring * them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess * them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives * , whose captives * they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors . (Israel will rule over the gentile nature even as gentiles once ruled over Israelites nature, but as Jesus said, he who wants to be ruler in the Kingdom, must be servant of all). 3. And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest * from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve * , Whenever it says “in that day” it is talking about the “day of the LORD” or Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead at his second coming, or appearance. 4. That thou shalt take up * this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say * , How hath the oppressor ceased ! the golden city ceased * ! (Remember, 1Pe 5:13 The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with [you], saluteth you; Why would Peter say that the Church is still in Babylon? Jeremiah 27 tells us God exiled his people into Babylon till he visits them and takes them up to this place (God is often referred to with this Word place-makom). Babylon means confusion because of the two natures within us, Christ within the soul overcoming Satan. All confusion ceases when the Messiah is brought forth and lifts Israel out of Egypt and Babylon and all the nations that she is exiled from the four corners of the earth. Anyway, they shall take up this proverb against the King of Babylon and say…..5. The LORD hath broken * the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers * . 6. He who smote * the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled * the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth * . 7. The whole earth is at rest * , and is quiet * : they break forth * into singing. 8. Yea, the fir trees rejoice * at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down * , no feller is come up against us. Fir trees, barosh were used for material to build the “temple”; we are trees to build the last temple: Cedars are wood used for purification in the temple and Lebanon means “whiteness”; since you are laid down-shakab means “lie in death, sexual relations or REST”, lodging; I suggest they all apply, meaning our death brings about the union or “knowing” with Christ. No feller-karath-means “to cut a covenant, to allow to perish, to cut down”. Come up-alah means to ascend to God. 9. Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming * : it stirreth up * the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up * from their thrones all the kings of the nations. The phrase “below you is moved” is one word: ragaz-and means “trembled, moved, rages, shakes, troubled, afraid, excite”; to meet you is “qirah-and means “encounter, befall, from qara-to meet unexpectantly, like “he comes suddenly into his temple, or he comes as he left, like a thief in the night, no warning”. It stirs up-uwr-means “awaken, rise, lift, rouse oneself”, the dead: even the chief ones-attud-means “the goats” or the he goats, from athad-means “to prepare, make it fit”, and we are looking at the “atonement”, which is in the fall on Yom Kippur; the chief ones are explained in Proverbs 27:26 when it says the lambs are for “clothing” or a cover (the will that is made one with our will) and the goats are for the “price of the field” and the field is the world; Esau was a man of the field and the treasure is buried in the field and the seeds are scattered in the field. Here the goat is shown to be the atonement for being part of the world; Jeremiah 50:8 says Remove out of Babylon, go forth out of Chaldeas and be as the “goat” before the flock. Zechariah 10:3 Gods anger is kindled against the shepperds and punished the goats when the Lord visited his flock the house of Judah. He says he will not cast them off forever in this chapter and the phrase “cast off” is shown to be what he did to Judah, Psalm 43:2, 44:9, 44:23, 60:1-to scatter them, 60:10, 74:1 why is God angry at the sheep of his pasture? 77:7 will you cast us off forever? 88:14, 89:38 God is angry with his “ANOINTED” ; Lam 2:7, 3:17, 3:31 shows more about this judgment, which is what Lamentation is about; the mourning in Zion. Jews read Lamentations (Eich) every Tisha B’Av, the day of mourning in Israel. They read it in hopes that they will be freed soon, waiting upon God to give them the sign. I had that sign on Yom Kippur of 92; it was the “cross”. 10. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak * as we? art thou become like * unto us? The phrase “are you become weak” is one word-chalah-which means to be sick, wounded, dispised, diseased, and it is in lots of verse to show it is Israel and Judah; Psalm 35:13, 77:10, 119:58, Proverbs 13:12 says “hope deferred makes the heart sick-chalah, but when the “DESIRE” comes, it is a tree of life”; amen. Also Prov 23:35, Song of Sol 5:8 speaks of the one seeking her beloved for she is sick-chalah with love; Isaiah 17:11 says at the time of the harvest will be this sickness, and 38:1 Hezekiah had this sickness unto death; we are looking at “Adam/Israel” here who is called Lucifer and became weak like mortal men; Are you become like us, is the word “mashal”, which means be similar, parable, proverb, compare, liken, (remember Jesus came in the “likeness of sinful man” and was tempted in every way like his brothers; Israel and Judah are his brothers); it also means proverb, byword, superior mental action, rule, dominion. 11. Thy pomp is brought down * to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread * under thee, and the worms cover thee. Your pomp-ga’own means both excellency, pride, majesty, of God, of the Jordan, and of Judah: Jer 13:9, Isaiah 2:9,10, Psalm 47:4, and of Israel Hosea 7:10, Amos 6:8, Amos 8:7 and here they are the excellency of Jacob; Nahum 2:2 talks about how the LORD turned away the excellency of Jacob and Israel. Romans 11: tells us Israel fell for the salvation of the gentiles and if the fall of Israel is for their salvation, their gathering will be for the resurrection of the dead; and here in Isaiah 14 we see both; read and see for your-self. Brought down-yarad means to descend and of course this fall to earth is for salvation; your noise-hemYAH, means music, from hamah-to roar, mourn, turmoil, murmur in prayer; voils-nebel means skin bag, EARTH JAR or VESSEL, pitcher, from nabel-means to “fade away”, wear away, fall down, make vile; here is the first vessel made for destruction or dishonour so God can create the second vessel of honour or our second birth; There are two kinds of worms; the rimmah or prideful lifted up worms and the tola worms; both are referred to here; Job 7:5, 24:20 speaks of both too; the first is the man ‘enosh” or the fallen man and the second worm is likened to the “son of man”, or the tola-ath; which is the crimson grub or that worm who shows us Christ at the crucifixion; I am not a man but a worm; Jacob is likened as this worm; we have both worms in us but one COVERS-the tola-makacceh, which is from kaccah-to conceal, hide, protect; Job 25:6 and one is proud: Jesus explains the worm doesn’t die in gehenna (the fire to clean up the garbage in our soul). 12. How art thou fallen * from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning * ! How art thou cut down * to the ground, which didst weaken * the nations! First of all the word “fall-naphal” means fall down, cast down, “fall short” (we all fall short of the glory of God), waste away, inferior, mostly used as the word “prostrate” however; like willing to fall and also “to meet violent death”. Son of the morning is the word morning when the “daystar rises in our hearts again”, but here it is with the word “yalal” means wail, mourn, howl, as in Isaiah 13:6, howl, for the “day of the LORD” is at hand. Weaken the nations is “chalash-discomfit, prostrate, disable, and used in Exodus 17:13 when Joshua did this to Amalek-who represents “doubt” in Judaism. Jesus came to bring salvation to Israel, but to overthrow Gods enemies and so he has, does and will continue till he has given us a new earth where righteousness dwells. Lucifer only found once in the Bible means “light bearer” morning star, and the Church has told us Lucifer is Satan, and here he is also the King of Babylon; comes from halal-means to “praise, glory, shine, fool, marriage, celebrate, and found 165 times; Job 12:17, 29:3 are two of them. 13. For thou hast said * in thine heart, I will ascend * into heaven, I will exalt * my throne above the stars of God: (Israel are the stars of God) I will sit * also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: Will exalt my throne above-ma’al-upward, exceeding, high above: Proverbs 15:24 this word is used “the way of life is “ma’al” to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath; Ecc 3:21 man-adam goes upward, the beast (animal soul) downward to earth; I will sit upon the mount of congregation-moed-means an appointed time, a appointed place, a solem feast, and I happen to know this is till the feast of Yom kippur, which is the feast of atonement; the red heifer or parah adumah in Judaism is a moed choq, or a feast no one will understand till Messiah comes; why? Because this is a willing gift of Israel, to become the para adumah by falling to the earth so they can save the gentiles or those who are on earth which is hell for a son of God who naphal-prostrated himself to do this; he will sit in the north. (Zion is in the north and judgment comes from the North for that reason). 14. I will ascend * above the heights of the clouds; I will be like * the most High. ascend above-bamah-ridge, cultic platform, mountain, battlefield, place of worship, funeral mound: hights of clouds (here is the place God hides, but he will raise above that place); I will be like-damah-similitude, liken, compared, think, reason, like “elyown”; and here are some verses to show that God intended for this to happen, especially this chapter of Psalm 82: God is asking his son Israel: How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. And the following verse in Isaiah shows this exact thing: (Remember Jesus called them gods to whom the oracles of God came: they came to Israel). 15. Yet thou shalt be brought down * to hell, to the sides of the pit. Deuteronomy 32:8 shows us that When “elyown” most high, divided the nations for an inheritance, and the sons of Adam, to set boundaries of people (nations, gentiles) according to the numbers of the sons of Israel. Deut 26:19, and 28:1 shows God will set them elyown, as the most high. Look also at Ezekiel 9:2 This pit is where Joseph was thrown by his brothers, but what they meant for evil against him, God meant for good: Gen 37:20 David was brought out of that pit, Psalm 40:2, Korah wound up there for striving against Moses: Psalm 88:4, Isaiah 24:22 God makes the earth empty, turns it upside down, as with the people, so with the priests, sevants & masters, maids and mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers; vrs 17 the fear and pit and snare will be for the inhabitants of the earth. Jeremiah 38:13 was brought out of that pit, and Lam 3:53, show us Israel is there mourning, and Zechariah 9:11 tells us by the “blood of the covenant” the prisoners are let out of the pit or prison where there is no water. 16. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider * thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble * , that did shake * kingdoms; The phrase “narrowly look upon you” is one word “shagasch” and means “ gaze, stare, as in these verses: Psalm 33:14, Song of Sol 2:9, beloved like a roe, a young heart, behold he stands behind our wall and “shagach (gaze, stares) at the window, shewing himself through the lattice. During my visitation, before I was invited into the throne room, I remember standing before a “lattice” like wall where I could look in but had to wait to be invited. And consider _biyn-which means “understsand, wisdom, saying “Iysh” means man of fire that made the earth to tremble and shake kingdoms? Psalm 18:7, 77:16, 18, 99:1, Isaiah 13:13 Isaiah 23:11, Psalm 68:8, Mica 3:9, Amos 5:10 17. That made * the world as a wilderness, and destroyed * the cities thereof; that opened * not the house of his prisoners? 18. All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie * in glory, every one in his own house. 19. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain *, thrust through * with a sword, that go down * to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet *. Abominable ta’ab is found in Psalm 106:40, Isaiah 49:7, branch however is found only a few times, and is “netser” which is the green shoot that comes out of the root of Jesse; Isaiah 11:1, 60:21, Daniel 11:7, who is trodden under foot more than the “son of God”? Jesus came to become “sin” so Israel could become the righteousness of God: That is how much God loves Israel. Yet remember Judah becomes “one with Christ” and “one with Satan” to give up Christ to Israel, beginning with the High priest. Thou shalt not be joined * with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed * thy land, and slain * thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. In uniting with Christ, Israel and Judah overcome the evildoers who will be slain. 21. Prepare * slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise * , nor possess * the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities . 22. For I will rise up * against them, saith * the LORD of hosts, and cut off * from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith * the LORD. We see that this separation work of the sword of God, ie his word, will bring about a new thing. 23. I will also make * it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith * the LORD of hosts. 24. The LORD of hosts hath sworn * , saying * , Surely as I have thought * , so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed * , so shall it stand * : 25. That I will break * the Assyrian (Christian in the Old Testament) in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot * : then shall his yoke depart * from off them, and his burden depart * from off their shoulders. 26. This is the purpose that is purposed * upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out * upon all the nations. 27. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed * , and who shall disannul * it? and his hand is stretched out * , and who shall turn it back * ? 28. In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. 29. Rejoice * not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth * a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 30. And the firstborn of the poor shall feed * , and the needy shall lie down * in safety: and I will kill * thy root with famine, and he shall slay * thy remnant. (The evil root of the tree is destroyed by no longer receiving the “Word of God”, and Christ will slay the remnant of Israel with his Sword that comes out of his mouth) 31. Howl * , O gate; cry * , O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved * : for there shall come * from the north (Zion during judgment) a smoke (darkness, obscurity), and none shall be alone * in his appointed times. 32. What shall one then answer * the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded * Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust * in it. This is the thing God does through the fall of Lucifer; he destroys Palestinia, which means the migratory people who are wallowing in the dust (all mankind) but out of that adders root, whose belly clings to the dust, will come forth the “fiery flying serpent” whose fruit will be glorious; ie being crucified with Christ restores the glory to Israel. The fiery flying serpent is the experience of the fire baptism that comes from being crucified with Christ and taken up, lifted up to Paradise to ‘know” the man Jesus. God is spirit and spirit is life: Christ is the MEDIUM God flows in and through us, the soul he is making: God is WILL and Christ is the EXPRESSION of that WILL in us and Jesus is the name of the soul who experiences this to its completion in US:
