They Will Not Give Up Their Idols

it is a shame but not only that, it is destruction to life, to not understand what is causing everything to fail.
why? people are rejecting knowledge.. knowledge of God of health of love.

what has angered God more than anything else since man began?
what has caused God to do away with his creation?
IDOLATRY.
Yes, God hates idolatry more than anything else.
why?
it is spiritual ADULTERY.
It is worship of EVIL, SATAN.
any kind of idols is worship of satan.

church folks will not give up their idols.’no matter how many times they have heard the truth, THEIR IDOLS MEAN MORE TO THEM THAN LIFE ITSELF.

so they are bringing about the destruction of the world.

yet, no amount of warning , as JEREMIAH did to old Israel, they said to him. we will not obey what God said,
‘we will do what we want to do.

and so it is today. you will do what you want and this is worship the idols of the heathen.

Out of A Lion

Out of a Lion came a Bear. Out of the bear came four Leopards. Out of one of the Leopards came a giant Iron Furnace which devours men.
Out of the Iron Furnace came a gentle, Mysterious one who undid the harm done by the Iron Furnace.
Out of the Gentle one came a mighty warrior who conquered the world.
Out of this Warrior came a giant seven-headed monster which took the world back into horrible captivity.
Out of this monster came another fierce Lion, spewing out Fire which devoured and at the same time delivered.

Come Out of Your Religious Darkness

a bit of testimony…. and a lesson in why church people are too indoctrinated to even hope to learn God’s truth or his Love for those who see something that their blinded eyes do not see…
Several years ago, I attended a certain church meeting. The person supposed to be teaching, had heard that I did not believe that Jesus is God. Of course that is what he and the church believed.
Brother Larry was there on this night. sure he will remember this.
The man preaching totally changed what he was speaking about, in mid-sermon and began to kind of Pick at us about Jesus being God.
Finally he seemed to get very frustrated and stopped, put his hands on his hips in a kind of jeering mode, and said, kind of snapping it out….’you do believe Jesus is God, don’t you?”

Since he had stopped his preaching and plain out asked us that question, I said, out loud, No, I do not.
Brother Larry was sitting toward the back, and he said, I do not either.
That preacher got so mad he was just sputtering and did not speak much longer.

After they dismissed the service, I asked the man, ‘ what did Peter answer when Jesus asked him, who do you say that I am’.
His answer was so mumbled and jumbled up, it did not even sound like he said one English word. He KNEW he could not answer that according to the Word of God, for it would blow his claim right out the window.
I said to him, No that is not what he said. He said, ‘thou art the Christ, the SON OF THE LIVING GOD.’.

With that I turned around, for some reason, and I was so shocked… he had said to me, ‘all of these people in here believe Jesus is God, you think they are all wrong?’
I turned around and every single person in that building was GLARING at me with such hatred in their eyes, and a look of threat that it made my ‘blood run cold’, so to speak. I was totally shocked at the hatred in all of their eyes… I mean folks I thought were my friends. (shows you dare not try and show church people any truth)

I am telling you, the same old religious spirit that caused millions of Christians to be killed and tortured, was in those people. I truly think that If I had continued to discuss this issue with that man, those people would have jumped on me and hurt me. They wanted to; that was plain to see. ( I make the mistake of ‘thinking’ that these people, church people, really want truth and wish to discuss it, for I love it. But I have learned that this is so far from the truth, it is dangerous to try and show them anything).

This religious spirit that does not want to learn God’s truth, is in all religions, not just the Catholics. I mean every denomination that I have ever had any dealings with, all have this HATE FOR ANYONE WHO SPEAKS contrary to their false doctrine.

It is past time that God’s people come out of this religious darkness and seek to know God’s LOVE AND TRUTH. That is not love. That is hate and it will kill and destroy.

The High Priest

Jesus, the HIGH PRIEST

Malachi 2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
Jesus is identified by many ‘names’ in Scripture. For instance, he is called DAVID, in many verses. The reason for this is that he is the Seed of David, therefore, he is David, in Scripture; the fulfillment of God’s promise to the earthly David that his throne would continue forever.

Jesus is the David that sits on the throne as King forever. Jesus is called the seed of David in Romans 1:4. In Acts he is said to be from the loins of David. He had to be proven to come from the actual seed of the man, David. This is done in showing, in at least three different verses that Joseph was of the house and linage of David.

So this solidly proves that Jesus is in the line of KINGS OF JUDAH.
People will never know the truth of the book of Psalms for the think it is about the earthly David. But no… it is about Jesus Christ. Most all prophesy is about Jesus Christ. It is not about the man who wrote the ‘book’. It is the words of God and Jesus.
Now, in this lesson I am teaching about Jesus, as high priest.
In order to be able to be a high priest, by scripture, one had to have come from the house of Aaron. The other Levites could be regular priest, but only those from the family of Aaron could be high priest.
These high priest went into the Holiest of all, once a year, with a sacrifice for the sins of the people. Only the high priest could do this. The other priests could minister every day, in the outer courts, in burning incense, offering oblations, and such. But only the high priest could go into the holiest of all, to do offering for the sins of the people and himself.
We have all supposed for all our lives, that Jesus was only a high priest after the order of Melchisedec, which was a heavenly priesthood. But God has revealed to me that Jesus had to be an earthly priest, first, in order to offer an acceptable sacrifice for the sins of the people. In fact, this offering of the perfect sacrifice is the ONLY ONE that God ever truly accepted. Therefore, Jesus is the ONLY high priest who ever truly made atonement for us and procured salvation for us.
Jesus had to have been an earthly high priest first, in order to offer to God, this perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. See, it is solidly proven in the book of Hebrews, that the heavenly priest-hood of Melchisedec has a continuing priest-hood due to the fact that THEY NEVER DIE.

The earthly priest-hood of Levi changed regularly, due to the fact that they DIED, and another took his place. But the heavenly high priests do not ever die for they are eternal. No new priest come and non go. BUT THIS EARTHLY PRIEST, Jesus Christ, was placed into the heavenly, unchanging priest-hood of Melchisedec….but…when?
That is the question we must come to see correctly. Was the earthly Jesus, in this heavenly priest-hood? No. He could not have been, for they NEVER DIE.
In addition to this proof, it is also true that no one of this earthly family could have gone into this heavenly priest-hood, due to the fact of SIN.

So, in order for anyone, including Jesus, to be placed into this heavenly priest-hood, there had to be FIRST, a perfect sacrifice, offered by an earthly high priest, to sanctify and purify the human race. Since, the other high priest only offered ANIMAL SACRIFICES, sin was never removed. No amount of dead animals could ever cleanse and sanctify even one human being. So no one could have gone into the heavenly priest-hood.
Now since only a high priest, being from the family of Aaron, could offer up this sin-sacrifice, and he only offered animal blood, which could never take away sins, it seemed hopeless.
There HAD to be a high priest, from the family of Aaron, which could offer to God an acceptable sacrifice. Do any of you understand this? I hope so. Pray for understanding.
This is a truth which has been hidden from this entire world since the days of the Apostles. But God has revealed it to me.
A few days ago, as I was pondering some things concerning Jesus being the son of Joseph and other things about this, God gave me this: Mary was from the tribe of LEVI. It truly shocked me, for I have never heard anyone say this.
The lie of an incarnate god, or that Mary had a baby, which was part human, part God, or to make the lie even more false, that he was 100% man and 100% God. No such is taught in God’s word.
The lie that God placed God-seed into Mary’s womb and brought forth his only begotten son, begotten by this means, has blinded the entire church world and kept them from being able to see this truth, in this message.
But God had already revealed to me a good while ago, that Jesus was, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, as told in at least three different verses, thus confirming this as truth.
Joseph is called the son of David, to prove that Jesus had a right to become KING, since this tribe of Judah, through the family of David, is the chosen KING TRIBE.
Therefore, we had all assumed that this ‘seed of David’ passed to Jesus from Mary, his mother. But no. that Seed passes through or from the Daddy. This is why Joseph, not Mary, is identified in Scripture, as being from the tribe of Judah, the family of David.
Now, in order for Jesus to be able to be an earthly high priest, able to offer the perfect sacrifice to God, for the sins of the people, Jesus had to be from the tribe of Levi, the family of Aaron.
This is why God shows that Mary came from the family of Aaron, or the tribe of Levi. Thus, Jesus came from BOTH the tribe of Levi and Judah. Otherwise, he could never have saved us from our sin, due to the fact that only a member of the family of Aaron could offer the sin-sacrifice to God.
The reason Jesus did not go into this priest-hood an offer up animal sacrifices, as did the others, is that he knew he had to please God and offer up a perfect sacrifice that God would finally accept and redeem mankind back to God.
This is of the utmost importance and glory, so I hope some of you will study this and see the truth.
Now back to Malachi to prove that Jesus is called LEVI, by God, identifying him as a Levite:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The above verses could only be spoken of Jesus for He is the only one TRUTH came from and the only one who walked with God in peace and equity and turned many away from iniquity. He is the only one in whose mouth was no guile. This is certainly not true of the man, Levi or the Levitical priests. So it is calling Jesus LEVI, here. It is identifying Jesus as from the tribe of Levi, and Now I will prove to you that he had to be from the family of Aaron, or order to be a high-priest.
Hebrews 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.
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.
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,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
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;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
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.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Now this proves that Jesus was a HIGH PRIEST, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. This is something that a heavenly priest COULD NOT DO. It had to be one from the human race. See that it said, this high priest had suffered temptation same as his brethren. It said this one tasted death from every man. The heavenly priest-hood of Mel. did not have death at all. So this high priest had to be of the earthly family of Aaron, in order to suffer DEATH and make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 3 King James Version (KJV)
3 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Here, Jesus is called an apostle and a High Priest. You might try to say but this was of the heavenly priest-hood of Mel… but no, it could not be for that heavenly priest-hood never had any death in it. Also, it could not have offered a sin-sacrifice for the sins of humans.
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
The above shows that we, humans, are the house of Jesus. So he had to be a high priest of HUMANS, from Aaron.
Cpt. 4: 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
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.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
See that this says that our high priest was tempted in all points like as we are and that he passed into the heavens. He was an earthly HIGH PRIST, who lived without sin and then entered into the heavens. He was NOT a heavenly priest, before he passed into the heavens. He was an earthly high priest, from the family of Aaron, to offer up to God a prefect sacrifice for our sins. He had to do this BEFORE he was given a place in the Heavenly priest-hood of Mel.
That heavenly priest is not tempted nor had to be made perfect by suffering. This solidly identifies Jesus as an earthly high priest and that had to be from the family of Aaron. Since Joseph is from the family of David — tribe of Judah, of whom Moses spoke nothing concerning priest-hood, then….Jesus had to have also come from the family of Aaron.
How? Simple…his Mother, Mary, was truly from the family of Aaron, tribe of Levi. Mary was cousin to Elizabeth, Mother of John, both coming from the family of Levi.
In chapter five, we see God giving Jesus a call to be priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. But see, that Jesus had to FIRST make reconciliation for the sins of the world, and reconcile man back to God. This could only be done by an earthly priest. So Jesus had to do the work of the Aaronic priest-hood, before he was called into the heavenly priest-hood.
5 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. (the begetting is the day of his resurrection, proving that he was not called into the heavenly high priest until he was resurrected.)
6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
This above from chapter five, shows that Jesus was FIRST a high-priest of the earthly type, for he had to learn obedience and then offer that sin-sacrifice to God. After he had done this to God’s requirements, THEN God called Jesus into the heavenly priest hood. I will solidly prove this in this message.
Cpt six.. 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
The above shows that Jesus was our forerunner, and was MADE a high priest after the order of Melchisedec. He was not born into this; he was born into the family of Aaron and David, both. He is both high priest and king.

Here, we see the description of the priest-hood of Melchisedec: Hebrews 7 King James Version (KJV)
7 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
See that they had no mother, or father, no beginning or ending of life. This is certainly not true of Jesus. He had all of this and ended up dying. So this thing of being made after the order of Melchisedec had to be after his RESURRECTION, after DEATH HAD NO MORE DOMINION OVER HIM.
Jesus was not God, … he was given this of being our Lord and our God, AFTER HIS ASCENSION to heaven AFTER HIS RESURRECTION INTO ETERNAL LIFE.
Jesus was not called into the heavenly priest-hood of Mel, until AFTER HIS RESURRECTION….AFTER he had offered to God the perfect sacrifice for the sins of this world.
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?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Now if you try to place the above with Jesus, BEFORE he DIED, then you must call this a lie. He clearly shows here, that this priest-hood of Mel DOES NOT DIE. So then Jesus was not in this heavenly priest-hood until after HIS RESURRECTION, when he would DIE NO MORE.
See that verse 12 said that the priesthood was CHANGED and there was a necessary change of the law. But we know this did not happen until after Jesus died and did away with that old covenant of law. He brought in the new law of life in Christ Jesus. But this could not occur until after HE WAS RESURRECTED INTO ETERNAL LIFE.
So, in order to offer to God a perfect sacrifice, he had to be operating under that Levitical priesthood. They were the only ones who could do this and it had to be of the family of Aaron.
Here is solid proof that Jesus was not of the heavenly priesthood BEFORE HIS RESURRECTION:
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
See, it shows that under that old covenant of law, Levitical priesthood, nothing was ever made perfect or cleansed from sin. But under this new covenant and this new priesthood, we are brought into that perfection by the BLOOD OF THE PERFECT SACRIFICE, JESUS HIMSELF.
Verse 23 proves that Jesus was NOT of the heavenly priesthood BEFORE HIS RESURRECTION, for he DIED.
In this heavenly priesthood, no one dies. This is exactly why we must come to God, through Jesus Christ, into this new way; this new priesthood. Jesus NOW lives to intercede to God for us. He was not there before his resurrection. No one could come to God through this heavenly priesthood BEFORE Jesus rose and ascended to heaven.
But to try to come to God NOW, through that old law covenant is to deny this heavenly priesthood, that Jesus is now working for us. We must all come through this new priesthood, not that old Levitical priesthood.
Verse 25 proves that this priesthood work came after Jesus resurrected, for it said, he ever liveth to make intercession for us. This could not have been said before he died and rose again, to eternal life. So if you deny his earthly role as high priest, from the family of Aaron, you must also deny that he died on that cross to take away our sins.
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
Verse 27 shows what the perfect sacrifice was: it was Jesus himself. He offered up himself to God, for the sins of the people. His blood was the only acceptable sacrifice for our sins. In order to be able to offer up a sacrifice to God, for sins, BY GOD’S OWN LAW, JESUS HAD TO BE OF THE FAMILY OF AARON.
Verse 28 is speaking of the only begotten son of God, which came forth on the day of the resurrection of Jesus, Romans 1:4 and Acts 13. It is not speaking of Mary’s baby, Jesus. It said SINCE THE LAW. Jesus was made under the law. So if you cling to the lie that Mary had a baby god, who was already of the heavenly priesthood, then you must call all of this a lie.
8 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
Verse one shows that this high priest was set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, proving he was not this heavenly high priest until after his ascension into heaven.
It is solidly speaking here of this heavenly priest, Jesus Christ, AFTER HIS RESURRECTION; not before his death. He is a minister of the sanctuary that God pitched; not man. It is not speaking of the old priest hood here, that of Aaron. It is speaking of the heavenly priest hood that Jesus was called into, after his resurrection.
The rest of this chapter proves that Jesus gave us the new covenant, after his resurrection, by which we now have righteousness, our sins being remembered no more.
People of God, this did not happen before Jesus died on that cross and was resurrected into eternal life, in the image of the eternal God. If you try to place this before that, you must call all of this a lie, due to the fact that Jesus was a man, who died on the cross.
Chapter 9: 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
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:
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?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
See verse 14… Jesus offered himself to God to purge away our sins. This alone proves that Jesus was here, doing to office of the high priest, from Aaron’s family. He had waited, not entering into their animal sacrifices, but waiting until the right time for him to enter into that holy place, with his own blood, for our sins. But the fact is, HE DID THIS SACRIFICE ONE TIME, proving he was of the family of Aaron.
It had to come from his Mother, Mary, for Joseph was from the family of David. Mary is never identified as being from the family of David; Joseph is, for Joseph is the natural dad of Jesus, having been performed by a working of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus was not a God. He was a man. God declared that he is not a man, nor the son of man. So if you insist on holding to the lie that God became a man, you must call God a lie and deny the MAN, CHRIST JESUS, as our Lord and our God.
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.
Chapter 10: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Verse 12…. AFTER this MAN offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. By this one offering he hath PERFECTED for ever them that are sanctified.

So see, everyone is teaching lies, saying that we are still not perfected; not sanctified, thus denying this perfect offering of Jesus for our sins. They are denying that Jesus acted here, in the office of the earthly priest, from the family of Aaron.
He was not elevated to the heavenly priest hood until after his perfect offering for our sins, and then resurrected into HEAVENLY ETERNAL LIFE.
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
See that we now have an high priest over the house of God, who can purify us and bring us into the very presence of God. He is our high priest, for now he is of the unchangeable priesthood of Melchisidec.
See, from this message, that a 30 minute ‘sermon’ once or twice a week is NEVER GOING TO TEACH ANYONE THE TRUTH OF GOD. It is impossible. It takes bringing many scriptures together, as in this message, to prove such deep truths.
You who run to some ‘church’ to ‘pay’ some preacher to sell you some truth, are of the foolish virgins = trying to buy it and it is not for sale. Unless God is teaching YOU, PERSONALLY, YOU ARE NOT IN THE TRUTH nor the family of God.
You are dangerously running to BUY SOME OIL, instead of having it given to you by Jesus.

Made Better Than Angels

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

WHO was in the world and the world knew him not?
You ‘think’ it is speaking about Jesus, son of Mary…not so. He was made of the FLESH, seed of David….you think not? then you must call many scriptures a lie:

Romans 1: 3 concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
[Jesus, made of the SEED OF DAVID ACCORDING TO THE FLESH; so now call that a lie]

4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

[declared to be the Son of God….how?////by the resurrection from the dead; not his birth in a stable. This is the ONE who was in the world and the world knew him not…they knew Mary’s son, Jesus; but not the Son of God inside Jesus. ]

Now call that a lie, if you must. Does not this agree with Col 2? firstborn from the dead? and Rev 1, first begotten from the dead? how many truly want the truth?
now back to John:

John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

[he gave them power to BECOME…SONS….OF…GOD…ah ha. Now getting somewhere.
are not they the very same kind of SON OF GOD THAT JESUS BECAME? SURE THEY ARE…SCRIPTURE SAYS SO:

13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[now see it said these also were not born of blood nor the will of flesh or man….same as Jesus the only begotten SON OF GOD, BORN FROM THE DEAD….A SPIRITUAL SON OF GOD; NOT A FLSHLY SON. His flesh was from the seed of a MAN….ACTS 3…SEED OF DAVID..]

Hebrews 1 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
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;

3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
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?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

[notice, all of the above is speaking of AFTER THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS FROM THE DEAD….YOU CANNOT BE TRUTHFUL AND PUT IT BEFORE THEN.

IT SOLIDLY proves that God beget his son when he raised Jesus from the dead. and this agrees with all other scripture…Acts 13 declares that it was the day God raised Jesus from the dead.

No one was told to worship Jesus before his resurrection. Some did as they recognized he was the prophet God had promised them.

thou are my Son, this day,,,,,THIS DAY…have I begotten thee…same words in Acts 13….why not study the Word of God as Jesus commanded us to do?

Proving Jesus was the very same as we are, before his resurrection….and that we become the very same kind of Son of God through the new birth…
Heb 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.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Now I have proven with the Word of God that God beget his Son by the resurrection…..He said, this day have I begotten you…in more than one place…and that day was the day he raised Jesus from the dead……so now….proving that Jesus was NOT a priest after the order of Melchisedec, until AFTER HIS RESURRECTION:

HEB 5: 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

The day God raised Jesus from the dead, is the day God beget his Son, and the day he set him on high and made him a priest in the heavenly priesthood.

Only a blind person could deny this many pure scriptures, proving that Jesus Was a fleshly man, just like us….had to be born again…and was the only human that God himself beget, by giving Jesus the Holy Ghost.
all other are begotten by Jesus himself…

I am so thankful to my God for teaching me his pure truth.

The 10 Horns

God opened up to me this morning something that I had not been able to see:
Zechariah 11:8
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.to see yet.

I already knew this was this: Lam 2: 6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

Here it shows that he cut off the kings and the priests, and of course he did away with the prophets of old. so there are the three shepherds that he hated and cut off.

Now the other seven heads are the ones I have explained as being from Adam down through Moses.

But the thing that I had missed is that the ten horns includes these seven plus those three shepherds!!

I have been thinking that it was totally different things; meaning seven heads and then ten DIFFERENT horns. Not so.

this is why I think no one has been able yet to discern the beast in Rev 13. they come up with all kinds of wild guesses; not realizing that it is sin to add to God’s word and not have any idea what you are saying.

See…
those seven heads plus those three shepherds. make up the ten horns.

Yes, this is the secret that I did not see till God showed it to me this morning.

So when he cut off those three shepherds it left only the seven heads. but see at one time all ten had ruled the OT.
That is what is being cut off… the OT law beast.

the NT beast is the image of this old beast = 7 churches.

Eve Repented and Returned To Grace

Until you know the truth of God’s word, do not attempt to slander it or teach it. You could just set for yourself, unneeded pain and punishment.

God requires one thing before he forgives sin. this one thing is REPENTANCE. Adam never once repented. He willfully and knowingly sinned against God. Eve did not. She was deceived by her hypocrite, (serpent) husband.

When she saw the wrong, she REPENTED and was forgiven. She then lived one of the holiest and persecuted lives of anyone else, ever.
The last time she is mentioned in Scripture, she is held up as the example for all to follow, as to being holy, full of faith and sobriety, bearing children unto God.
People never study the word of God, seek truth, and find it.

so they slander the most precious thing in existence: the Word of God.
they are too carnal minded to find its great truth.
they listen to carnal-minded preachers, who are out to be PAID = THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
Therefore, they never find truth.

first, you must learn WHAT WAS THAT TREE? Romans 3:20, clearly says, by the LAW IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.
Romans 4, 5 and 7, clearly show this also. So that tree was LAW.
God did not ever want anyone under the law, killing animals, etc.

read Isa 1 and 66. also 65.
Eve praised God for the birth of her children. Adam never once praised God. His sin, before Eve was even made, in Eze 28, was WANTING TO BE GOD, ABOVE GOD, AND TO BE WORSHIPED.
where there is no LAW THERE IS NO SIN.

So, without going into the law, they would not have sinned. Eve repented and returned to GRACE. Only by Grace can one be saved. She is called the Mother of all LIVING, showing herself to be one with New Jerusalem, the city of God.

Proof of many membered God

~ Proof of the many-membered God ~

Today is Wednesday, 5/4/2005. Last night as I was reading in Exodus, God showed me solid proof that God is a kingdom, made up of many members. I was not studying for this or any other subject, I was just enjoying reading the Word of God. But I have been praying for God to give me more proof of this message, for it is so hard for others to see and believe this. The world has been so fully indoctrinated with the false teaching that God is either 3 or 1 person. I have challenged people for years to show Scriptural proof of this, and they cannot do it. So I must Scripturally prove that God is made up of many members. God IS a plural word. Man is a plural word. It means…

David’s Seed

So then, who is the Emmanuel the Word calls God with us? For the answer you must read Roman 1:4.
Ro 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Ro 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Ro 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Ro 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Now notice that Paul spoke of God which promised by his prophets concerning HIS SON. So even this proves that God is not the Son of God. Jesus was the Son of God. Now it said that this son was made of the seed of David according to the flesh, but he was declared to be the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead.
So this makes it clear that the day Jesus was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness, was the day he was raised from the dead. Does any other Scripture say this same thing? Sure it does.
Ac 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will. Ac 13:23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Now the above verse says that Jesus was made of the seed of David. This means Jesus was fully human. He was not part God. He was made of a man’s seed. David was called his father. How can you deny this? Ac 13:29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. Ac 13:30 But God raised him from the dead:

Notes on Revelation Study

Notes on my Revelation study:

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;
10 and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 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.
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.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
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.

this great multitude is that ‘river’. It is all of God’s people who came to serve God between the duration of those ‘two’ witnesses.

There is false doctrine that claims these people came in after a rapture. But in studying this out many years ago, I came to see that there is no such thing as any rapture. This false doctrine is a result of interpreting Scripture with a carnal mind or looking at it naturally.

Paul told us that is this world you shall have tribulation. Some folks tried to fit the false doctrine into their belief of a ‘great’ tribulation being totally different from other tribulation. Just not so. All tribulation is great.
The greatest of all tribulation is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

So all of these folks came in to God but did not receive the Baptism of power. They were carnal, weak Christians as Paul stated in many of his letters.

He and John and all the writers of the NT spoke of carnal Christians.
When you say, I will listen to this one but not that one, Paul said you are carnal.

When you set one child of God above another, or a certain church teaching up so that you flat refuse to listen to someone who is teaching something different, as I do, then you are carnal.

That saying, ‘I will not discuss it’ . or listen to you’ . is a shield that Satan gives to you to prevent you from coming to the real truth. So you are not a witness of Jesus.

Revelation 14 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
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:
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.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

[in the above verses we see Jesus with those that received the Baptism of power to be his witnesses. They are now with Jesus and have followed him wherever Jesus led them.]

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,

[This angel gave his message to those who preached the gospel to the great crowd that came in to serve God after the first group that received the baptism of the Holy Ghost had left the scene. False doctrine claims that these people come in some mysterious way after the ‘church’ has been ‘raptured’.

See how a lie causes everything that follows to also be lies. This is those in the seven churches. They are not powerfilled witnesses of Jesus, for they do indeed deny all that power. But the Tree of Life, these two groups of power-filled witnesses are on either side of this river of church folks. Zech 4.]

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.

Now see how perfectly this fits when you have the truth. After this group is completed, the hour of God’s judgment is come. The second group of witnesses bring that wrath of judgment upon this world who refused Jesus completely.

They Shall Dwell In Their Place

1Cron.17:5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies.

Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.

11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.

This is really to Jesus and Us. We are the true IsraEL OF GOD. God does not dwell in a man-made house.
He goes from ‘tent’ to ‘tent’. to we the people
He is promising us a sure place that we will never be moved from. this has never happened to natural Israel.

so it is future prophecy. It is Jesus that has the sure house forever. It is Jesus that was taken from the ‘sheep fold.
this is a glorious promise to us that God will yet give us a sure place and no harm will come to us.

Isaiah 29

Jerusalem Is Warned
1¶Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5Moreover 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.
6Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11¶And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12¶And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13¶Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Blessing after Discipline
17Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22¶Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23But 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.
24They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

In The Beginning

In The Beginning Oct 15, ’04 9:57 PM
by joie for everyone

In the beginning – of what? Of God? No, could not be. Why?

Hebrews 7: 1. For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

  1. To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
  2. Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. (Son of God; not Son of Man)

Now here we have established that those of the God Kingdom or the Father kingdom had no beginning of days, nor end of life. This is ETERNAL.

So God had no beginning. So when Jesus said I am the beginning – what did he mean? He could not have meant as so many assume, that this places Jesus back there at the beginning of the God world; for that world had no beginning. It is Eternal.

In the beginning was the Word – now what? Does this mean that the word or Jesus the man was at the starting up of God? Nope, could not mean that, for God had no starting up.

Jesus said I am the beginning and the ending. So now what? Does God have an ending? Nope. …. Without beginning or ending of days. Without Father or mother or descent.

So does Jesus have a Father and a mother and children. Sure he does (we are his children). God was his Father and Mary was his mother. So by this, we know his beginning. But does he have and end? Yes.

Luke 22: 37. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, and he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

Now this is Jesus’ own words – the things concerning me have an END. So then the fact that Jesus had a beginning and an ending proves he was not eternal; he was not God, for God has no beginning or ending or Father or Mother. But Jesus had all of these.

John 18: 37. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Now just read that verse; there are two things in this one verse PROVING that Jesus was NOT GOD. He (Jesus) said “I was born”. Now we have already proven by the Word that God had no Mother; so God was never BORN.

And Jesus said “to this END was I born”. So this is again stating that the man Jesus had an end. He is saying I was born to come to this END, His crucifixion, and his death.

DEATH? Now that raises another question – is God a MORTAL being? Can God die? Let’s all seek Scriptural answers. Mortal means able to die – so is God mortal? Corruptible means able to see corruption- is God corruptible?

We have already established in Hebrews that the God kingdom is eternal, meaning they cannot ever die. So that alone answers this question. No! God is certainly NOT MORTAL. If God could die, all would cease to exist.

God is LIFE. So God cannot die nor can He corrupt. He is not corruptible.

Heb. 7: 14. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

  1. And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
  2. Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
  3. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

Now we know that when Jesus was born of Mary, the Word declares that he was MADE UNDER THE LAW.

This man who was made under the law died and went into hell fire; thus destroying that first man Adam. He left that image of sinful man there and came out of that grave a new Creation of God – a Man in the likeness and glory of the ETERNAL GOD.

So then he was made not after the law but after the power of an endless life. So Now that Christ has an endless life- he now has eternal life- which he also promised us who obey him unto the END of our lives.

But see that his first, human life ended? Sure it did. He died. He was resurrected into the God life of and endless life. This is where the Word was given the glory he had in the beginning. But it does not mean the beginning of God; for God had no beginning.

Romans 9: 5. Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

Now this established that Christ came of the flesh, human flesh of the fathers. This proves He was a human being, living fully in human flesh.

1Cor 1: 29. That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Now this includes Jesus’ human flesh. And there is a Scripture in Psm. which shows Jesus saying to God that before Him, he was as a beast. So Jesus saw himself as a beast = human being.

11Cor 5: 16. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

  1. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Now this shows that after the resurrection, we do not know Christ after the flesh any longer. It also shows that in Christ everything is a new creature.

Romans 1: 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

  1. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
  2. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
  3. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

See this shows that fools changed the glory of the UNCORRUPTIBLE GOD into an image made like to corruptible man.

Now I know you will not want to see this – but it is here anyway. This clearly states that God is uncorruptible, meaning he was able to corrupt– meaning He is not of the dust, or human kind. It also shows that they changed this glory into an image like to CORRUPTIBLE MAN. Now what it this? It is people saying that the corruptible man, Jesus is and was God.

And from there, men took it a step further and decided that other men are also God. See where this leads? This is the sin of Adam, wanting to be like God.

1 John 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;

  1. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Now this Scripture gets us to where we really need to be – seeing what the BEGINNING was speaking of. It said THAT WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING, WE HAVE HEARD, AND SEEN WITH OUR EYES, OUR HANDS HAVE HANDLED THIS WHICH WAS FROM THE BEGINNING,

What? They heard, saw with their own eyes and handled that which was from the beginning? But Jesus said himself, “no man hath seen God at anytime or heard his voice or seen his shape.”

So how did these disciples do that thing? What did they see and handle? …. Of the Word…of the word of life…For the life was manifested, and they saw it and bore witness to what? That ETERNAL LIFE WHICH WAS WITH THE FATHER WAS MANIFESTED UNTO THEM.

So this proves that it was the Word…. The Word of eternal life, which was eternal with the Father. This is what was with the Father in the beginning = the Word.

The Word was seeking to have back the glory He had before the World was- not the human man Jesus. The Word was speaking in and through Jesus. Jesus died and had an end. The Word cannot die and is ETERNAL LIFE.

We have that Word in us right now. It is eternal life. The Word was God. Jesus was a man. God is not a man. The Word came and was inside the man Jesus. God was in Christ. Christ was in God, that is how he was in Heaven. He was in the Spirit. The Spirit is Heaven. Now we sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

11John 7. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

This shows that it is an antichrist who denies that Jesus came in flesh. Flesh is not God. God is a Spirit. So it is antichrist to say Jesus was God. You call God a lie for you believe not the record that God gave of his Son. God did not give a record of God; he did not say this is God; he said this is my Son.

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.

Now this says that Jesus is the beginning– so In the BEGINNING (in Jesus) was the Word. This shows that Jesus himself is the beginning; so the Word was in Jesus, for Jesus is the beginning. The beginning of what? The firstborn from the dead = the resurrection; = a new creation, the Creation of God–Gen. 1.

I conclude this message with this: –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,

Now don’t you see that Col. 1:18 said Jesus was the FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD — AND THAT REV. 1: 5 SAYS THAT HE WAS THE FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD?

So this is the first one of the new creation of making a man in God’s likeness and him image. Jesus is now the image of the invisible God. It started at his resurrection just as Paul declared in Romans 1:1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

  1. (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,)
  2. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
  3. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

See? Son of David after the flesh = his earthly, human life. Then the Son of God after the resurrection when He was given all power in Heaven and Earth and set at God’s right hand.

two great eagles

Two  Great Eagles.  Eze 17:  … by Jo Smith…. Feb. 15, 2021

Here is a great mystery.  I love it when God opens these mysteries up to me.

Ezekiel 17 King James Version (KJV)
17 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
Adam took the things of God and turned it into merchandise. He took his people into bondage of law and servitude to himself.

The revelation of this chapter is marvelous to me and helps prove a great hidden mystery that God spoke to me once.  Never would I have found this or thought it just from studying.  Some things are so hidden to us that we could never have known it unless God just told us.  And that is just what He did. He told me that Eve married Noah.
At first I truly wondered if this was right and asked God to show it to me in the Word.  I do not accept anything unless I see it in the word.  If everyone who brought up doctrines had done this all the lies and false doctrines would not have blinded everyone.

Well I have found many proof of this in the Word:  that Eve never died.

This Holy Woman has been more lied about and persecuted than anyone else who ever lived.  Why?  Well as you learn more about her, that will become clear.

So  the great eagle with the great wings was Adam.  I learned many years ago that Lebanon means the Garden of Eden, in Scripture.  Until you learn some of these secrets you will never be able to get into the deep things of God.

Eve 28 is about Adam:  4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
Notice here the ‘traffic’.   Notice the merchandizing that God has always hated.  This is what is going on in cp 17, how Adam took what God gave him into merchandizing or bringing people into bondage to himself.  Too much to try to prove in this message, but I have already proven it all in many other messages. 

But for the purpose of this message I will just use a few verses. You should study the entire chapter for the proof that this is Adam, is there. 
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

The merchandising is bringing people into bondage to law, to make them subject to Adam.  They had to pay him to teach them.   That is the clear mark of the beast.

We need this scripture for proof of what I am going to show you in chapter 17:
Ezekiel 31 King James Version (KJV)
31 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.

Adam is Satan.  The Assyrian is also known to be this Adam/satan.  Many people or names are used in Scripture to show or teach other things.  This is a mystery which is keeping almost everyone from ever really knowing the truth of God’s word. 

Verse 11 proves this is Adam. No other was in the Garden of Eden and was driven out because of his wickedness.  This can be no other. 

But notice how this chapter is saying the same thing as in chapter 17.  Here is the proof of this interpretation. 
‘The waters made him great.  The deep set him up on high with HER RIVERS (or people that she brought forth;  her children) running about HIS plants, or children, made him great.  And then she sent her little rivers, or children, unto all the ‘trees of the field’.  These trees are the people who were born from her, of the world. 
So much beauty is here.
Proof that this is in the Garden of Eden:
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
15 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.

The above verse Is speaking of the flood, when God caused the Adam-kingdom to fall or be destroyed.

Now back to chapter 17: 
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
This willow Tree that grew and became a spreading vine of LOW STATUE is Eve.
He brought her low to keep her subject to himself and keep her from being what God had created her to be.
She turned her branches and roots toward him and this caused him to become great.  It was her children that she brought forth that made Adam a great kingdom.  He brought them all into subjection to himself to be worshiped as their god.  This was His downfall.

7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
8 It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

This other great eagle is NOAH.  Oh yes.  This shows the truth of What God spoke to me.  Noah also married Eve long after Adam was dead.  Eve never died so she is still alive at the time of the flood and crossed the flood in the ark as Noah’s wife.  That is what the second eagle is about.
He was also one the same glorified type of life as Adam was, for it was not changed till they came to this side of the flood.  This is secrets that God has revealed to me through the years of study.  I will not attempt to prove these things in this message.  Too much for one message.  I am writing about these two eagles tonight; and of course the vine that made them both great.

See that this VINE (God said a wife is a vine around the table bringing forth children)…. So yes, she was both men’s wife.
She, Eve, bent her roots now toward Noah.  She shot forth her branches, Or children, toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of HER PLANTATION.

Her plantation means her plants or children.  It is her seed but Noah helped make it great by watering them.     It was planted in a good soil, by great waters, it brought forth branches and bore fruit and it might be a goodly vine.  This is the Godly children of Noah and Eve.  This good soil is Eve’s good heart or mind.  She served God with all her might. 

9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.

So then what caused it to be withered and plucked up by the roots?
It went into LAW in that fourth head under Moses.  So when it went into law, as it had with Adam, God plucked it up again.
The EAST WIND was the coming of the Holy Ghost and the Apostles and Jesus.
When this wind hit that law group, that descended from Noah and Eve, it was withered and plucked up.
The king of Babylon came and took the king’s seed.  This actually takes it all the way from the Book of Acts to the seven carnal churches.  They all broke the covenant of God and Jesus.

20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the Lord have spoken it.
22 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it.
The rest is marvelous.
Verse 20.. Jesus spread his gospel NET over those rebels and pleaded with them there as taught in the NT and brought them to Babylon, the carnal church.
He scattered them toward all winds or spirits.
Verse 22, He now speaks of cropping off from the top a tender one and will plant this tender one upon a high mountain.   This is Jesus.  Under this goodly cedar will dwell all fowl of every wing.  
Verse 24.. all the trees (or nations or people) of the field, or world, will know that I the LORD have brought down the HIGH TREE,  ADAM OR MEN,  AND HAVE EXALTED THE 
LOW TREE, OR WOMEN, OR EVE.  IS THIS NOT SCRIPTURE?  SURE, JESUS SAID HE DID THIS.

HE DRIED UP THE GREEN TREE, OR MEN, ADAM, AND MADE THE DRY TREE TO FLOURISH…..HE EXALTED THE WOMEN OR EVE.

Nothing could be plainer or better.
Praise the Lord for bringing up his daughters, or EVE, our holy mother. 

caught in weeds

Caught Up In The Weeds
Sis. Jo Smith was telling about a dream that she had. She said in this dream and she was caught up in the briers and thorns. The more she tried to free herself, the more tangled she would get. She could not free herself from these thorns and briers. Then she screamed out the name of Jesus and immediately she was freed. Praise God. My question is could she called unto another jesus that the churches teach and be freed? No, she could have not. She called out to the true Jesus of scripture and she was freed quickly.
Are people in the church being set free from the weeds? no, because they are calling on the name of a false jesus. They are tangled or Caught Up In The Weeds or briers and thorns and not getting free but tangling themselves in them.
Jonah 2:5 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. ( we can see here is Jonah. the weeds were wrapped around his head choking him. This is what that is happening today in the church. The weeds are choking you to death. The weeds are of this another jesus that you are getting from the ministry. People your heads are compassed around even unto your soul and strangling you to death. People you
are walking in deep waters. there is a great gulf there. You are drowning from this water and before long if you do not repent and come to the true Jesus of scripture. You are as she was and before long you are not going to be able to free yourself. The only escape is to call the name of the true Jesus. You are swallowing up or being engulfed in these waters. As The stormy sea engulfed a ship and the true Jesus is not on board and your ship is sinking
You are Caught Up In The Weeds and it as I said choking you to death.
Mark 4:7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. ( the weeds grew up and became thorns in your life and choked out the true Jesus and your fruit tree is no more yielding fruit. People the weeds or tares are now able to suffocate you. People you need to pull up the cares of this world which is weeds. You need to plow around and dress around your fruit trees. If you want a good fruit to grow on the tree. You are failing to clean around the tree and it is only growing fruit not able to eat . If you are not dressing and keeping the grass from growing the fruit tree will spring forth rotten fruit that is not able to be eaten. This is what happening Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. ( you are dying from this fruit tree because that is what you are getting from these churches. God said not eat from this tree. Clean around your tree and get set free from that law and come into grace. Women under the law you are not supposed to speak go home and ask your husband can you give a revelation that God gives you. That what the weeds or law does to you.
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. ( the woman was in much pain and labor because she could and still can not bring forth children or conceive a child under the law. The law is another jesus. This conception is not natural conception but spiritual conception. Under law her womb was dead and she could not bare a child of God or could not bare the true Jesus. Under the law, the woman is an outcast. Under the law, the woman had a desire for the things of God and under the law, it is not granted unto her. She is Caught Up In The Weeds. Under the law,, it is only a man’s kingdom. It is also a whore kingdom started by Adam.
You have not cultivated your field and pruned your fruit tree and you are getting nothing but thorns and thistles from another jesus and his brier bush. Yes, you have allowed the pastors, preachers of whatever to keep you from the true grass or fruit from the true Jesus which is grace. You are eating a rotten fruit from these churches. you are devouring this fruit and never even know where it is coming from. These preachers pastors etc. are destroying the true fruit which is the word of God. There is a drought and the true fruit tree needs water to survive. They are keeping you from the spring of water. Without water, the fruit tree is dying and so are you. you have nothing but thorns and thistles upon your altars. There is no water for the people to drink in these churches and no water for the fruit tree. There are no true ministers of God in these churches. I had to leave the church before I got any true water for my fruit tree.
The church is without a holy place. No true worship of the true Jesus Christ. No more sanctification in the church system. No more true repentance. The churches are Caught Up In The Weeds and choking the things of God They are offering a burnt sacrifice unto the Lord. They sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar, as the priest was told to do under the law.
That is the same thing that the law covenant did. The first Testament the OT was law.
Math.13:20-21 — But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
(These stony places are the same thing as the briers and thorns. We know from Scripture that the ten Commandments were written in stone.)
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.
So we see that these briers and thorns( Old Testament covenant) will try to choke out the true word of God.
It is just like a man that has got stuck in quicksand ( miry clay) the more he tried to free himself the deeper he sunk. or like the sister in the thorns and could not free herself. So if you’re trying to build your house on sand or miry clay it is going to sink deeper and deeper. You’re building it on briers and thorns.)
Ps.40:2– He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. ( The miry clay here represents the Old Testament covenant because it was earthly.)
OK, now that we have seen that these briers and thorns were things of the Old Testament covenant. Let me try to show you something here with Cain.
In Genesis 4:7- If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. ( In other words, he gave Cain the chance to repent and bring the same offering to him as did Able, and we will see what that offering was.)
Act 3:19 — Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. ( We can see from this if Cain had repented God would have forgiven him and blotted out his sins. This also stands for the people in the church system. He will cast your sins as far as the east to west. Not from north to south because there is a starting and ending point from the north to south. but east to west has no starting or ending point)
John 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. (So what I am saying the New Testament way is the way to serve God. First of all,l you give all of yourself to God and you give him the best. See he saved the last for the best, he said that which is worse was that which was first those briers and thorns that we have been referring to. Be not Caught Up In The Weeds, the OT way of serving God. Refresh your mind.
Let me say this. I debated with God a whole week on this one. I said God there is no way I can do a message on this. He would show me a few things and I would forget them. Still saying, God, I know not what to say about the weeds. But I said in my spirit Ok, God I am leaving it up to you. I still have so much that if I did write it, a book could not contain it. Most of you will not even read any of it but that is your choice but there are some people that better listen to this message.

I would like to add on to the message.
Exodus 14:3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. ( Pharaoh, your ministers know they have you entangled and shut up. They tell you that you need to be at the church a certain time. You should not go to another’s church. You must pay tithes, you should not question him about anything? You should not try to help anyone that is down because he said they do not pay tithes. I know this is true because a pastor told me these things when I went to his church. Yes, the church belongs to him. He can tell you what he wants and it is his decision on anything and everything. He has you entangled and caught in the weeds and there is no way out of the briers and thorns. He is your prince and your king and you must obey him. You are in his prison and he also is the warden. Because he shut up the doors. The only way to get out is the one that has the key. We know who has the key and Matthew 16:19 also knows the one we know.
Jesus said …..19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ( according to this the keeper of the keys ( Peter) has the power to open and to shut. What was the key and how did Peter get the keys? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. ( Peter got the key because God gave him the revelation to who Jesus was ” Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” that is the only way to be set free from the chain that Pharaoh has around your neck. .John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ( you are no longer a slave to this master.
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; ( THE DOOR TO THE PRISON IS NOW OPEN AND YOU ARE SET FREE FROM BONDAGE AND PRISON YOU ARE NOW IN. but it is your choice, to be set free or be like the slave that said; Exodus 21:5 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: ( whether you realize it or not you are not only making a decision for you but your children and wife or husband forever. For generation after generation.)
6 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever. ( you are marked forever.)
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. ( Paul is saying here, stand firm you have been set free and do not go back to that yoke of bondage that you had around your neck. Don’t let them set a snare before you and do not go back to what you have been set free from. That yoke of bondage is what they teach, the law. You have been set free and you are now under Grace. Galatians 5:3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
People, it is a very dangerous thing to go back on God…. 2 Peter 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.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

Taming The Law

Taming the Law….By: Jo Smith…… June 8, 2015

I have said many times that nothing in Scripture is as we first think or as our natural mind perceives it to be. God said his word is spiritual and must be spiritually discerned.  Most people hate this idea, since they do not have a clue what a spiritual mind is.  Some think that because they can shout, speak in tongues or enjoy a good hand-clapping singing get-together, that this proves they are spiritual.  Not at all.

The most confusing subject in all Scripture, and the most misunderstood, is that of LAW.  IS IT LAW OR GRACE?  I am afraid not many even realize that there is much of a difference, or that it does not matter.  It is truly a matter of life or death, eternally.

God uses many nations, cities, and people, down through history to show his truth of times from Adam to the end.  In this study of Ezekiel I will show you that God is using Egypt to show that old law system, since this law system was originally set up by Adam, for the purpose of gaining control over others.  This law system is conclusively proven by Scripture to be the forbidden tree, or as I call it, tree of death.  If you eat it, you die.  So then see that knowing the difference in law and grace is vital to your salvation.

Ezekiel 30 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 30 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord God;  Howl ye, Woe worth the day!  3For the day is near,
even the day of the Lord is near,
a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt,
and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league,
shall fall with them by the sword.

Why am I calling this message, Taming the Law?  It is the message here in Eze 30.  Watch:

The sword is the word of God.  Surely you know that?  OK> the sword comes on Egypt.  What?  Remember, Egypt here is same as Adam or law.  So the sword of someone is going to take down this old law system, which is the enmity.  Does not Scripture clearly say, the law is the enmity and that Jesus nailed it to his cross, taking it out of the way?  Sure it does.

The day of the Lord?  A cloudy day;  the time of the heathen.  It is the time that God reached out to the heathen to bring them to salvation.  Cloudy?  It is during those seven churches, when truth was so muddled over, that truth was covered up and hidden by the false shepherds, who took advantage of Grace, to set themselves up on high  = preaching for wages;  something that Jesus forbids.

If you read Ezekiel without the revelation from God, you will see only past history of ancient nations, and it will make no sense at all.  But, let’s see this AS SPIRITUAL.
The ‘slain’ shall fall in Egypt?  The sword cut off those holding to law, and brought them into understanding Grace, or salvation WITHOUT THE WORKS OF THE LAW.  This is a message that Paul pounded and preached with all his might.
They took away her multitude?  Sound horrible?  not so.  Those apostles, preaching grace, or hitting law with that sword, took a large number out of that death, and brought them into LIFE.  Glory to God.  See, the preaching of Grace tamed that old law and put it away from those who came into the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Her foundations were broken down….who?  that old law system.  It is called a she all through the OT.  It is that tree of knowledge of Good and evil.  Grace is also called a she….this one is the tree of life  = a female.  This is a beautiful message, which can be found all through Scripture, if you know what you are looking for and how to find it.
Verse 6-8.  Thus saith the Lord; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword,saith the Lord God.
7 And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate,
and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

Now look what happened to those who refused to move out of law and come into Grace:  they that uphold Egypt, (or law), shall fall.  Isa 28 clearly showed that these same ones went and FELL BACKWARDS.  Paul made it clear when he said, if you return to law, you FALL from Grace, and Christ is of no effect to you.  Yet the majority fear not to go back to law, trying to climb up some way other than Jesus  = pure grace.

All ‘her’ pride and pomp is brought down, by this sword of Christ Jesus.  Those who refuse to walk in the light of the gospel of Grace, shall be desolate.  Jesus pronounced to old Jerusalem, same as old law, in Mat 23, your house is left to you DESOLATE.  Yet almost everyone is still looking for that abomination that makes desolate to come.  You are looking the wrong way.  You need to look BACK to Calvary.  This is what I told someone today, and she banned my from her group over this statement.  This is how badly people are deceived.

They shall know that I am the Lord,  when I have set FIRE in Egypt.  This speaks of the baptism of Holy Ghost and FIRE.  This fire destroys ‘her’ helpers, as they now see the error of old Adam/law, and come to Jesus/grace.

V9…In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid,
and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

The apostles are those messengers that go forth and awaken the heathen and cause them to repent and come into salvation.
V 10-12:  Thus saith the Lord God; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
12 And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste,
and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the Lord have spoken it.

Here is the proof that this Neb king of Babylon, is representing Jesus.  See, He caused the multitude of LAW to cease.  He brought them into Grace.  The terrible of the nations means the Christians.  They came against that old law system and tore it down.  Peter called it a bondage;  so did Paul.  Paul said if you are under the law, you are under the curse.  This also got me banned today.  They still hate to hear the truth of this evil old law system.

Their ‘rivers’ were made dry and sold to the wicked.  This is those who still clung to law and refused Grace.  The strangers are the Christians.  We make that old land of LAW waste.  We know it is contrary to all that Jesus is.

He goes on to name many cities in Egypt and said he would destroy all their idols out of them.  This is showing how salvation came to the ones who accepted Jesus and his message.  Verse 18, he shows that he breaks  the yokes of Egypt.  Shows he took them out of that bondage of law.  They then went into ‘captivity’ to Jesus or grace.  This fulfilled God’s goal…they shall know that I am the LORD.  God is showing the world that Adam lied; Adam is not God or the Lord.

Now, I want to show you the highlight, to me, of this chapter:
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword. 22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

God is speaking here of breaking the ‘arm’ of this law system.  Jesus Christ broke that arm.  It was the left arm, which means the old law system, which Satan used in the OT time.  That law system was his strength, as he held people in bondage, in fear of being killed, if they broke one law.  That was his power to rule over the people with.  L A W .  Remember, Daniel spoke of the king of the North and the king of the South?  He said both these kings speak lies at one table.  Now carnal minded men have made up all kinds of lies to try and explain this.  But none of them got it.  They look at scripture as the dust, or a natural interpretation.  That proves they are serpents.  Dust is the serpent’s meat.  They try to name this man or that man or such and such a nation, as being these two kings.  It simply is not what Scripture teaches. 

This breaking of the first arm, was the breaking of that old law system.  That old law system was not to be healed and brought back up.  That is the king of the North  = that OT law system.  This was satan’s power to rule over them with.  The placement of the furniture in the tabernacle, as explained in Daniel, shows that the north side and the south side, goes with this law system.  The East Side and the West Side goes with the grace covenant.  This is where the mercy seat was placed.  There was no MERCY under law.

See then that the old law system is the teacher of lies.  It said that Eve was the problem.  It said that Adam was the good one.  But truth shows that Adam is satan, the man through whom sin and death entered this world. Can’t get into that here;  too much for a message and this message is about something else.  Just trying to show you how this works.  When you don’t know enough, you cannot get these revelations.  Hence, they are hidden and the secrets are only revealed to those who love and fear God.

Notice, He said “I HAVE”  broken his arm.  He already broke that first arm, that OT Law system.  But notice, He said  I am against this king of Egypt and WILL (future) break his arms, the strong, and that which was …already…broken.  So, what is that?  It is promise that Jesus will yet break this other arm of satan, THE SEVEN CHURCHES.  Yep, this is that strong arm.  If you doubt this, read in Revelation…He said the SEAT of Satan, was in the church.  Seat means where the king sits.  There is that same old king of Egypt or law.  It is still old Adam;  old serpent, still sending out that flood of lies to cause the WOMAN  to be carried away.  Adam still hates the woman.
So Jesus is going to yet break that other arm  = law in the church.   Revelation shows that after Jesus wounded this one with the deadly wound, that deadly wound was HEALED.  How?  Church.  Yes, church took right back up that old law system.  It was even prevalent  in the Book of Acts, with that first powerful witness Church.  The law lovers had already brought confusion and took some of them right back to that bondage of LAW.

So, Jesus is going to break that other arm, or the king of the south.  That old law system in the OT was the king of the north and the false Church, using law instead of Grace, denying the baptism of the Holy Ghost, is that king of the south.  They flat deny the NT way of salvation,  repent of sins, be baptized in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF THOSE SINS, AND BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST.   This law church denies this and is therefore still the enemy of your soul.  

Now for the proof that Jesus is this king, Neb:
23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man. 25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

The message of the apostolic church in the book of Acts dispersed people by bringing them into grace.  Thus he scattered them.  Those who refused remained behind in law but those who came to Jesus moved into Grace. See that God said, after he broke the arm of Pharaoh, he took the sword out of his hand, (see, that law system had it in the OT);  but God took it out of his hand and put it into the hand of this other king, Neb.  This can only be Jesus.  God put his sword in the hand of Jesus and no other.  Notice, it said he strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon and the arms of Pharaoh fell down.  He said he shall groan with the groaning of a DEADLY WOUNDED MAN   =  proving that this is the same deadly wound mentioned in Revelation.  There is no other deadly wound named in Scripture, so this has to be the very same one.  He gave that old law, {king}  a deadly wound.   He then dispersed those law believers among the countries.  Ends with,  They shall know that I am the LORD.

Death of the Wicked

Sobeit33 (Original Message) Sent: 2/26/2004 5:59 PM ~~Death of the Wicked Rich~~
This will probably be a strange, new lesson for a lot of you. I know that I have never heard this taught myself. But, one day as I was studying, God showed me the meaning of this Scripture. I thought it would be good to bring this to the board.
The reason I put the ‘footprints’ here is to tell you that if you follow in the ‘footsteps’ of the wicked, you could end up in the same horrible fate they do.
JOB 27:
v8—For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
v9-Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
v10-Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
v11-I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
v12-Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
v13-This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
v14–If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
v15-Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
v16-Thought he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
v17-He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
v18-He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
v19-The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and HE IS NOT.
v20-Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
v21-The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a STORM HURLETH HIM OUT OF HIS PLACE.
v22-For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
v23-Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Remember, the Word said when Abraham died, he was GATHERED to his people; same for many other men of God.
But, look at v 19-this says the rich, wicked man died (lies down)–and is NOT gathered. His opening his eyes and is not-means he died; opened his eyes somewhere else; but was not HERE.
Verses 20-23 are showing the horrors of these people at the time of death. These things would not be precepitable to those here in the same room with the person dying. This is going on in the invisible world; but it is very real to the person dying.
Terrors take hold on him; then some power (the east wind)–takes him as a storm and hurls this person out of his body. (the word shows that our body is our ‘house’ or our place.
v23–this shows that evil people, who are already dead and in this place where this man is being hurled to, stand there, clapping their hands at him and hiss at him as he is hurled out of his body.
Matt. 8:12-But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
That is what this is speaking of; it is the same fate spoken of in Job. People this should cause those of you still living in sin, to really get the fear of God and repent and come to serve God. Even if there were no further punishment, (which of course there is)–This would be too horrible for me to want to go through. I know it much more horrible than you could really imagine.
I want to add another chapter from Job onto this subject. I put this into two separate posts; for most people do not like to read the really long ones. Here, I want you to see that God loved this world enough to send His Son here to die for us; to make a way so we could escape this horror. But if you refuse to obey him and do his will, you will be hurled into outer darkness and horror you cannot even imagine right now. But, it is real.
Job 18:
v5-Yea, the light of the wicked (his life)-shall be put out, and the spark of his fire (life)–shall not shine.
v6–The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, (his body)–and his candle shall be put out with him. (means he died).
v7-The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
Here it is speaking of the fact that while he lived, he told himself he did not need God: that this was not true; yet at death, the horror comes upon him; brought on him by his own counsel.
v8-For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
This shows that by his own choice to live wicked and forsake God, he brought himself into this horrible place.
v9-The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
This is speaking of Satan, the robber taking his soul to hell.
v10-The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
v11-Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
v14-His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle,(body)–and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.(Satan).
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. (he died)
v17-His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street,
v18-He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
This is the same thing the other chapter spoke of about the wind hurling him out.
v19 & 20 shows his kin all going the same way because of him.
v21–Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
People, this shows that those of you who never come to know God will not only be lost and go into horror you can’t imagine; but you will cause your kin to go the same way.
Matt. 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.
This is the ‘men’ clapping their hands and hissing at him as he is ‘hurled’ out into outer darkness ( a horror beyond anything you know now).
Matt. 25:30-And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
This shows that those who had started serving God, but turned back, will receive the same fate as the wicked, rich man.
May God help you to repent and serve Him, if you are not already doing so.
THE PEACEFUL DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS ~~
1kings:22:13-20-Josiah, the young, Godly king sent to inquire of the LORD concerning t1he words of the Book, the Word of God that had been found.
People, this is the most needful thing for everyone today-seek to know the TRUTH of God’s Book!
He sent men to a prophetess, Huldah, to ask counsel of the LORD.
She said of the king Josiah, v19-Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have head thee, saith the LORD.
v20-Behold therefore, I will GATHER thee unto thy father, and thou shalt be GATHERED into thy GRAVE in PEASE; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
Now, there are other instances in the Word, about the peaceful death of the righteous; but for now this is the only one I will post. Maybe others will find some Scripture, either on the horrible death of the wicked or the peaceful death of the righteous. I think this should be a very interesting and needful study. I ask others to join into this discussion.
I also say this shows that destruction will come to the nation which will not humble itself and obey God. It shows God will save the nation which obeys Him.

Your Husband

thy ‘husband’ shall RULE over you. Is God saying I want Adam to rule over Eve? Not at all. Yet this is how they have slaughtered God’s word and taught the world LIES. ‘Your DESIRE shall be to your HUSBAND’. and ‘they’ claim it proves that Eve had sex, or a desire for sex with someone other than her husband. Liars the are.
And you listen to their lies and spread the lies all around. Makes you just as guilty.
so what?
You are ‘married’ to what you desire. that is your ‘husband’. The word of God says, you are either ‘married’ to the LAW, or dead to the law, and MARRIED TO CHRIST. See? It is totally SPIRITUAL AND NOT CARNAL.
So………… the thing that is ruling over you…or the things you desire, you are ‘married’ to.
Are you married to a whore? = church = woman in the field.?
Are you a whore?……… = worshiping someone or thing OTHER THAN THE TRUE GOD.
See, you are so far off truth, you cannot even begin to understand this or wish to see through it.
I know people, personally, who will spend hours, days, nights, reading man-made up stories;books. or watching some movie….yet these same people NEVER READ OR STUDY GOD’S WORD…yet they claim to be on their way to heaven. deceived they are…………they are MARRIED to the thing they DESIRE, WHICH IS NOT GOD OR HIS WORD.
you think anyone wants these kinds of true messages, which can save your soul? Not at all. but let Joyce myers, or harlot white say a thing and the world rolls on the floor in adoration…..gives them millions of dollars to DECEIVE THEM.
yep, this jo smith again………..warring with satan.

Treasure Hunt

Paulette J Smith
November 10, 2015 at 10:02 PM · 

Treasure hunt 

I am on a treasure hunt. Love finding treasure. studying Eze 38, having a bit of trouble; God says, go to Joel…….. and low and behold, there is all that hidden treasure. Oh how I love eating his flesh and drinking his blood.

pity all those who never learn the glorious treasure hidden in this glorious BOOK.pity all those who never learn the glorious treasure hidden in this glorious BOOK.

Hey, Wanna, I just now got it. ‘thought, BURYING GOG’. that gave it to me. had been thinking in terms of ‘Adam’ quite a while, but that did not do it. It IS Adam, but it means EVERYONE; outer man. see? why I fight ‘humanism’ so much? that is WHAT WE MUST BURY. that is what they were burying. SELF. Unless you deny yourself, take up your , Not his, YOUR CROSS and FOLLOW me, you cannot be my disciple. that is it. so it proves the other I was waiting on, what that thousand years is. why satan was loosed after that first WITNESS CHURCH. wow, first church had BURIED gog, or old SELF; then it rose again; the last witness church will again ACCOMPLISH THIS. TO COMPLETELY BURY SELF. Take up that cross and follow Jesus into perfection.

(putting in these notes while they are on my mind)… Eve was taken OUT of Adam. Eve is the MOTHER OF ALL LIVING. So, Eve is the new-born self. This is why to put her down, say she cannot teach; must be ruled over, must cover up her entire body, except holes for eyes to peep out of, is so satanic. It sets up ‘first-man Adam’ the rebellious one.

putting Eve down, is what set off all the violence in this world, even till this very day. This is why NT Scripture teaches that we are ALL ONE. We must esteem others better than self. Not gossip. not sow discord among brethren. Die daily; meaning keep self under subjection to Christ. Think on Christ to keep the mind of Christ in ourselves. Keeping our minds on the things of God. See, Jesus did always the things which pleased his FATHER; HIS GOD.

Scripture says that rebellion and stubbornness is as the sin of witchcraft. We will see from the Strongs meanings of some of the words in Eze 38, that witchcraft plays a big role in this matter.

So when we rebel against the truth and refuse to obey it, we are into witchcraft, or old Adam worship.

note: worshiping Jesus as our Lord and our God, DOES NOT MEAN DENYING THE FATHER, as the false ‘jesus-only’ church does. That is a terrible sin, called anti-christ. 1John. No, but it sees that Jesus is to be worshiped as our God. But that most certainly does NOT do away with worship of the Father and knowing that he is the only true God, as spoken by Jesus himself, John 17

Salvation Plan

wow, look what a powerful message on being saved that I found. from way back.
I say anyone who wants to have salvation had best read this and then check out what you are already ‘counting’ on.

The Foundation for salvation
There are commands given to those who are seeking to become a Child of God. There are certain things one must do in order to become a son of God.
Of course the first thing is to come to believe in Jesus Christ, the son of God. Then one must truly repent of their sins. Then we have a COMMAND to be water baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of our sins.
If you reject this much, you will never make it in. You cannot go on to perfection if you are unwilling to do the foundational first steps. You are saying to God that you will not obey his commands as to how to become a child of God. You cannot map out your own plan. You must follow the exact plan which God has already set. The apostles of Jesus taught us the right way to become a saved child of God. No other way is given or accepted by God. So forget all else and obey the message given to this world by the Apostles.
Along with this water baptism, must be given to you the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It must be according to the pattern already laid out in the Book of Acts. There is no other place it is given. If you refuse this baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, then you will never be placed into the body of Christ. Unless you are placed into the body of Christ, you will never have salvation.
You will remain under the condemnation of the OT covenant and be lost. Here is the proof that the foundation, or our very starting place, is in repentance and baptism:
Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Heb 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.
See that he said the foundation is repentance from dead works, (trying to serve God by the old law, that is the dead works. Sinning is not considered dead works. It is just sin. We must repent of thinking that trying to keep the old law can give us salvation), and of course, faith toward God is part of this foundation. Then we have baptisms, (water and Holy Ghost), and of laying on of hands and of the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.
Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
So, what it the above speaking about? What is the ‘falling away?’ Paul said after you come to Grace, have received NT salvation, the Holy Ghost, if you go back to the law, you fall from grace. This is exactly what it is speaking about here. In Scripture, the law is represented by Briers and thorns. This is showing that after one has been baptized with the Holy Ghost, then turns around and says that they now need to go back to the law of Moses, to reach perfection, they are falling away from Grace, and crucifying Christ afresh and putting him to an open shame. You are saying that he was not able to take you on to perfection, that you have to do it with the dead works of that old law!
But look at the terrible place you put yourself into by doing this. He said it is impossible to renew you again unto repentance. Then look down at verse 8. That which bears thorns and briers is REJECTED and is nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned. The thorns and briers mean that old law. You can prove this by studying the meanings of those words, in a good Hebrew dictionary. Why it this nigh unto cursing? Because that law is a curse. It is a curse to be under it. The end of those who return to law, after coming into Christ or the Holy Ghost, is to be BURNED. So this is where you place yourself. No more repentance; no more sacrifice for your sins. All you have left is to be burned in hellfire. So this is a warning to everyone. You must get away from that old law and come into the New Laws of perfecting, taught by the Apostles and Jesus.
Heb 6:7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: Heb 6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

The Deep

~ ~ The Deep ~ ~
I will try in the next few messages to show you something God has revealed to me. These kinds of things only can come from much study of the Word of God. It does not come to those who only glance at the word now and then. It takes diligent and ardent study. It takes years. It takes revelation from God. I cannot give this all to you in one message, so will only address parts of it as I can get to it.
The Word of God is not some shallow story about certain people’s lives. It is not Bible Stories, as most people think. That is all most people ever get from Scripture. Almost all preachers only tell the ‘obvious’ story, which is the most shallow depth of all to the Word of God. God’s word is ETERNAL. It is LIFE. There is absolutely no limit to the Word of God. It is INFINITE. Can you even guess at what this really means? It means that no matter how deep one gets into the Word, there is always much more. You cannot get to the bottom of it. You cannot get to the top of it. All you can do is keep digging and climbing and launching out into the DEEP. God’s Word is spiritual. It is not carnal. It may seem carnal to the carnal minded. But to the spiritual minded, it is spirit and it is life.
When you read about any one person in the Word, you will see that story about that person. That is only a starting place. It is not the real essence of the Word. God only USES those things to reveal something much deeper and spiritual of HIS THINGS. The things recorded in the Word about anyone is there only for the purpose of revealing secrets of God. Until you can see beyond the story of that person, and hear a much more profound language, telling you, from the very same words, a deep spiritual truth, you are only reading words, and not getting any understanding. You are not getting God’s Word. You are only reading a story. That is not the Scripture. Sure it uses Scripture, but it is not the message God is giving out.
Now you may not understand right now what I am trying to tell you. But keep reading and study the next messages and perhaps you will begin to understand. Then you will begin to get glory from the Word of God. When you can ‘hear’ the true language of Scripture and get into its depth, you will rejoice and fall in love with the Word of God. Then you can FEED upon it and grow up into the measure of the statue of the fullness of Christ.
(Lord, please give me the words to say!) When I first began to see these things, I thought at times that it was just my imagination. But then God showed me something which proved that it was not that, but instead, a very deep way to understand Scripture. I would read about David. This is where it first started. I would be reading Psalm, and I could see clearly that it was speaking about Jesus, and not David. But then it would mention his many sins, and I would say, no, then it cannot be Jesus, for Jesus never sinned. This went on for a good bit of time. Then one day as I was saying that to myself, God said to me, It is Jesus because he had the sins of the whole world laid upon him. They were counted as His sins. Then I began to understand. I began to get knowledge of Jesus which I had never known before, and mostly which is not revealed in the NT.
I found many places in the prophets which were also teaching about Jesus. I could see where Jesus and God would be talking to each other. I could see where Israel and God were speaking to each other. Each time, it took me deeper into the Word of God. It gave me understanding which I had never heard anyone else say. I can only hope that some hungry sheep of God read this and gleam the glory which is here for you.
The Word of God is so precious to me that I can think of little else. I wear myself out trying to get as much of it as possible into print, so maybe others can benefit from my studies and labour. I am certainly not trying to do as so many others have done, to cause anyone to think I am setting up myself as your teacher. I am only trying to help you get into the Word of God for yourself. These mysteries which God has given to me will help any sincere person to get deeper into God’s Word, must quicker. If you do not feed on the Word of God, you will have NO LIFE.
I want to show you something here. Eze 40:2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south. Eze 40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate. Eze 40:4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall show thee; for to the intent that I might show them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
This is how you get into the depth of God. In VISIONS God took this prophet to a high mountain. He went up HIGH. Then God brought him somewhere else. He said, Behold with thine eyes and hear with thine ears, and set your heart upon ALL THAT I SHOW YOU.
Now if you do not ever get to this place, you will never get into God’s mysteries. If you never set your heart upon them, if you never hear and see what God is saying, you will just die and be gone without LIFE. God was taking this prophet into the very deepest of the mysteries of God. But it is not just for Ezekiel. It is for you and me. But only if we do as God said here, will we ever get to the height, and the depth and the breadth of the things of God.
Eze 41:1 Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
See, next God took him to another place and showed him the breadth of the tabernacle. God MEASURED.
Eze 42:1 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.
Next, God took him into the utter court and brought him into the chamber against the SEPARATE place. (You must be separate from the world.)
Notice, after this: Eze 43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: Eze 43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
See, again God took him to another place, where he saw the glory of God. His voice was like a noise of MANY WATERS. Same thing is in Revelation. This proves that God is speaking through MANY PEOPLE. The Waters is the people. So as we speak God’s Word, it is the voice of God. He was taking Ezekiel into deeper understanding each time. But the important thing to see is that God kept taking him on. He was not standing still. You must keep moving in God, if you make it. If He is not taking you into greater depths each day, you are not growing in God.
Eze 44:1 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
God showed him now that the outward, or carnal sanctuary was shut. God had taken him into something much greater than the outward sanctuary. You must get beyond this outer man, and physical building.
Now here is the main thing I wanted you to see here: Eze 47:1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
(As God was continuing to take this prophet into deeper and deeper things, he kept moving him into different parts of the temple of God. But here he has taken him again unto the door of the house. He sees waters coming from under the threshold of the house. This water is LIFE. It is the river of Life. His Words are spirit and they are life. These chapters in Ezekiel are very, very deep with mysteries of God.)
Eze 47:2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
(Notice again, He BROUGHT ME, then He LED me…see God was leading him all the way, continually taking him into deeper things or understanding. He kept moving, never standing still. This is the only way to make it.)
Eze 47:3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. (Now this is the main thing here, I want you to see. The man that had the line and was measuring everything, (which was Jesus, for he is the judge or the one who measures), he measured a first time, and these WATERS were to the ankles. See? He had gone into the depth of God that first measure…to the ankles. He was wading…still seeing stories in the Word! But you cannot make it standing here…must go on out into the depth. Stories will not do! David is not the answer!)
Eze 47:4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
(He measured again, and HE BROUGHT ME…see? Jesus took him through the waters. He keeps moving us. If not, you will die. Must keep growing and learning and gaining faith…all that it takes. He measured the waters the second time, and they were to the knees. Now! He can see Jesus in all Scripture, not David. Has made great headway! But he is not finished yet. He now takes him through the waters one more time and measures again. This time the waters are to the loins. Now he can see Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel in Scripture. He can see people on the OTHER side of the river, not just on this side! Notice, it is always the SAME WATERS, THE SAME RIVER. It is not some other River. He is staying in the same River, only going deeper each time around. It is the very same WORDS, which reveal, stories, then Jesus, then Adam, Satan, Eve, Mother of all living, Cain, evil son, Abel, good son, keeping God’s sheep, not animals. He now sees Judas in Scriptures all over the Word.)
Eze 47:5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. (Notice, each time he measured, he measured a thousand. These are the DAYS of God, they are the teachers. Now for this last measure, it had risen and become a FULL RIVER, which could not be passed over. He now had the full understanding, as Paul had, which could not be rebuked. He now sees me in Scripture. He now sees you there. He now can read so many depths in the very same verses, that it is another world altogether. It is now waters to swim in.
Eze 47:6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river. Eze 47:7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
(Now God takes him back to the beginning place, the brink of the river. Now he can go back to Genesis and see things he never dreamed of being there before. Now he can see the truth of the beginning. Now he sees the tree of life on either side of the river. Now he sees many trees there, which all have LIFE. He is back at the beginning, but also where the end and the beginning meet, where mortal has been swallowed up with immortality, where the Holy Marriage has taken place. Now there are living TREES on either side of the river. We now see the holy children of Eve, which were before the flood. We now can see what happened to them.
But now they are all living in the Paradise of God again. This is the ultimate goal of being led of God, of being taken from one glory to another glory. Unless you grow from glory to glory, you will not ever see this River of Life and those trees of Life, bearing that eternal FRUIT. So do not limit the Word of God to stories about David, Abraham, Isaac, Ruth, or anyone else. There are depths written there, which only the Living God can unfold and reveal. But unless you keep searching, knocking, praying, searching, studying, and growing, you will never see it. Those trees of life will be there, that River of life will be there, and you will be hungry and thirsty and not be able to eat or drink, for you limit the Holy God.)
See the Word is this River. You must get deeper and deeper into it. It is a ladder which leads to the top, to the heaven of God. Jacob saw that ladder and angels ascending and descending upon it. Jesus saw those same ascending and descending angels. He also had to climb that ladder. He had made a very good start by age 12. He had a good understanding of the things of God then. But he did not stop. He saw heaven opened when he was baptized. He kept growing and growing until he knew he had to die on that cross. There was no other way. He knew it was the Word and will of God.
(After all, Jesus had read Psalm 22 and Isa. 53, and understood them!) He learned it from studying the Word. You too must climb that ladder. You must get on that first step. The angels are there to assist you. But you must take the next step yourself. Then you must take another one and another one. You must not stop. If you stop when the waters are only knee deep, you will not see that River and those Trees of Life. So do not stop. Do not limit God and his Word. Do not listen to those who claim that God is all alone and is so lonesome. Don’t believe their lies. Study the Word for yourself. Where did God say that?
Do not listen to those who claim that there is only 1 or 2 or 3 members to the God kingdom. It is lies of Satan. He is cheating you of the glory. He is cheating you of climbing that ladder. He is cheating you of going into the depths of the Eternal, innumerable God. Notice, that all those who believe these lies, never climb or swim. They remain babies, babbling the same old ‘who-done-it’ junk, all the days of their lives. They never get any true revelation. They never even get in ankle deep. They are unable to climb to that first stop. That ladder is much too high for them to even consider starting to climb! The proof is there, that they never advance. They always believe the very same thing year after year. I once went to a church and the pastor preached the very same thing for over twenty years. He never got one revelation in all that time. Why? He had not gotten into the water yet. He was playing in the devil’s play ground = false doctrine.
Well, I set out to teach the purchase tonight, but God put me to another subject altogether. But this one needs to precede the next one. It will be clearer if you see this one. I prayed and God gave me this. So here it is.
