Zechariah 14

14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

[ The Day of the LORD is the day that Jesus was crucified.  This is the Day that God made reconciliation for cleansing of the sins of the world.  What was the spoil?  It was the OT people who believed in Jesus, his death, blood, and resurrection.  They were the spoil he took for his sacrifice in their place.  They were divided by being taken away from the OT law system and brought into the NT grace covenant. 

2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

[ If you think this is speaking about the natural, earthly town of Jerusalem you will never see the truth of the Word of God nor of this chapter.  Jesus, his kingdom, is this Jerusalem.  Jerusalem was in the Garden of Eden.  Unless you learn this you will never understand Scripture.

God’s word is about JESUS CHRIST.  Jesus himself said, Search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life and they are they which TESTIFY OF ME.  

So if what you are reading does not testify of Jesus it is not Scripture or God’s word.

So when did all nations gather against Jesus?  Of course it was when they crucified him.  Then later when they fought against all who trusted in Jesus.  The world is battling against Jesus and He is battling against them.  What city was taken?  It was the OT law system.  The saints of God took the city or kingdom.  

The houses rifled?  The houses mean the people’s bodies or life.  Rifled?  Here is the rightful meaning used here:  rifle ² | ˈrīf(ə)l | 

verb [no object]   search through something in a hurried way in order to find or steal something.

This is totally spiritual.  It means the NT ministers going after those OT people to save them or steal them from the clutches of Satan.  The women being ravished has the very same meaning and also it means to fill with delight which is speaking of the joy of the Lord that we find when we come to Jesus.   We /they  went into captivity to Jesus as we joyfully surrender to serve Him. 

3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

[Jesus was fighting against those OT priests, and other leaders, who had spoken lies against the Lord’s truth.  Every word that He spoke came against their false way of doing the things of God.

His ‘feet’ means his true NT Ministers.  They are called the Feet of those who bring the gospel of peace.  They are the ones who traveled over the world bringing the precious news of the salvation brought to the entire world via the death of Jesus Christ, in our stead. These ‘feet’ or ministers stood on the mount of Olives, which is taught in Romans that the Olive Tree is the true NT people of God;  the only true People of God.  We are that Mount of Olives.

What does it mean… it cleaved toward the east and toward the west?  There are two witnesses in the NT of the power of Jesus Christ on earth through the power of the Spirit of Christ in his people.  The EAST means that mighty witness in the Book of Acts.  That group alone had the glorious power of the Holy Ghost working the same works of Jesus in them.  They are the beginning, or East, of the Kingdom of Jesus on earth.  After that group was taken off the world then came up that ‘IN BETWEEN PLACE’,  or the carnal churches in Revelation.  Those churches were carnal and perverted the Truth of God; changed the truth into a lie. This is the Babylon where the two women in Zech 5 carried the ephah, a talent of lead, which was wickedness, and they set it up as a base for the evil Babylon system between heaven and earth.

That is the wicked, idol- worshiping carnal churches of our day.  But after these wicked churches have run their course and it is time to bring them to judgment, God will raise up another Witness of his Power, in another anointed group of chosen people.  They are told about in Psalm 149 and Revelation 11.  This is the WEST or the ending or sun-setting of this Day of the Lord. 

So in between the first powerful Witness group in Acts, there came up a great valley.  This was made when the Mount of Olives split into.  See?  Half or the first part moved to the East.  This was the Book of Acts or the beginning of Day of the Lord.  In between this half and the second half there came up seven carnal churches, which changed the truth of God into a lie.]

5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.

[ The woman who brought forth the manchild fled into the wilderness, Rev. 12.  These are the same ones fleeing to the valley of the mountains.  Those mountains are the Apostles and other anointed people in the Book of Acts.  Part of the mountain moved to the south and part to the north.  These are those who quitted God’s  spirit in the north.  It is those seven churches in Revelation.  They picked right back up the law and all the ways of the fallen OT system, which God hated. 

A spiritual earthquake is fear that comes upon people when they see the judgment of God coming upon them.  This took place with the OT people when they saw the NT Apostles taking over the kingdom of the Lord.  It was being taken away from them and given to a people who would bring forth the fruit that God means for his people to bear.  This fulfilled what Jesus had told them, the kingdom shall be taken away from and given to a people who will bear the fruit.

V6;  During the time of those seven carnal churches was the time when the light was neither clear nor dark;  it means there was a bit of truth but more lies or the method of the law, OT system, still being taught.  So it confused the people since they thought they must still keep the law of Moses and bring animal sacrifices.  As this false church changed more and more of the truth and taught lies, it became more and more clouded to the understanding of the people.  This is when the dragon/serpent/satan or Adam was spewing out that flood of lies out of his mouth to cause the woman to be carried away.  This flood of lies came from all of the priests, pastors, prophets and others who taught the lies and did not seek for God’s truth. 

V7:  The evening time is when the people with the baptism of Fire come forth and bring the full truth back.  This is the second witness of Jesus.  They are the people in Psalm 149 and Revelation 11.  This powerful group of people will take down those evil seven churches with all their lies, and bring forth the Kingdom of Christ upon the entire earth. 

If you read Joel 3 along with this message it will become clear that it is speaking about the very same thing.  It shows how they took away the truth, stole God’s people, his gold and silver, and carried them into their temples.  They then taught them lies and scattered them.  It shows the return of Truth by the second witness.  It is saying exactly the same thing about THAT DAY, as is this chapter. 

Verses 8 – 11  are showing the bringing is of the cleansing of the entire earth and taking down satan’s rule off the earth to bring about peace and glory to the world.

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

V12.  The carnal mind always makes havoc of God’s word.  They see only a carnal thought.  It looks so bad to them but actually it is glorious.  They fought against Jerusalem when they crucified Jesus and were killing all the true Christians.  Jerusalem is the kingdom of Christ.  It is not an earthly city.  So what is their flesh?  It is the same word that means we must eat the flesh of Jesus = it is his Words;  His message.  So this is saying that the lies these people had believed melt away when they finally see the truth of Scripture.  Their eyes mean the lies they saw or believed;  these lies or their understanding becomes open to the truth and they abandon the lies.  Their tongue which was speaking those lies consumed away and they are now speaking TRUTH.  It is truly most glorious!

V13.  This has the same meaning;  it is showing the true ministers of the NT taking or teaching their friends still blinded by the OT law system and bringing them into NT grace/salvation. 

 V14.  This one is most glorious.  It shows the saving of the Gentiles.  It is bringing them into the kingdom of Jesus Christ via the preaching of the gospel.  

15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.   [This shows the bringing salvation to every nation, kindred, people and tongue.  The same PLAGUE of changing their understanding from lies to truth; from law to grace;  from satan to Jesus.   Wonderful indeed!

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.   [This is also marvelous:  it shows that the world has been converted to Jesus and they are all worshiping Jesus as their king. ]

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.   [ This shows that the people who still refuse to worship Jesus will receive no blessings.  Blessings are the same as rain.]

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.

[The day has now moved down into the time when the Kingdom of Christ is upon the entire earth.  Everyone who made it to here will be living Holy and worshiping Jesus.  There will be no more wicked people to destroy God’s people and His truth.

What a glorious message and Day this will be!

What Land is this?

Zechariah 13  13 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 

   [ What DAY is this speaking of?  What day was that fountain opened for sin and uncleanness?  It can be none other than the crucifixion of Jesus.  Jesus’ blood is the only fountain ever given for the cleansing from sin.  It is speaking of THAT DAY;  the day they murdered Jesus.  So what is the house of David? … the inhabitants of Jerusalem?  Most people will think this is speaking of the earthly, natural, fake Jerusalem and the fake, so-called Jews.  But no.  This house of David is the kingdom of Jesus Christ.  Jesus is called David in Scripture.  When you do not know these secrets you will forever place all of the glory that belongs only to Jesus onto those murderers of Jesus.  The inhabitants of Jerusalem are the true Christians who put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ and in Him alone.

2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

[ So which land is he speaking of?  Which land had the idols removed from it?  It can be none other than the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.  So all of us who are baptized into this Body of Christ are free from idols.  We hate idols of any kind.  We love only our true King and His Heavenly Father.   This is also the place where we have no prophets interceding to God for us.  No unclean spirits dwell in this glorious LAND,  We know that God said in these last days God does not speak to us by prophets but by His Son, Jesus Christ.  We need no other. 

3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

[ Who begat the OT prophets/law?   It was the OT law, the father of those prophets/law.  And the mother?  Those who are/were married to law.  They still want a prophet to do the work they are supposed to do:  that of seeking the Lord,  studying His Word, receiving revelation from God only.  But we who are into the LAND of the kingdom of Christ thrust that through and say Away with you.  We have and need only Jesus and the Scripture. So any who come claiming to be an OT type prophet and they need to tell us what God said, we say, you are speaking lies because Jesus opened the way into the Holiest place for all of us.  We go to God for ourselves.  Praise His Most Holy Name. 

4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

[ Those of us who came into the kingdom of Christ do not pretend to be any prophet.  We may exercise the gift of prophecy but that is not trying to intercede to God for anyone.   We do not try to deceive anyone.  We want everyone to know God for themselves and come to truth.

5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

[ We only wish to be a keeper or helper of the cattle of Christ, which is his sheep or his children.

 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.    7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.      [This is prophecy of the crucifixion of Jesus.

 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. 

 [ What are the two parts that are cut off and die?  Jesus said he did away with the law and prophets.  The OT system is the two parts that were cut off to die.  They are the ones to whom Jesus said, I will not feed you; that dieth let it die.  If they would not eat HIS FLESH and drink his blood, which is the message that he brought, then let them die.  They will die spiritually if they refuse to come into the NT grace message and eat that that HE gives us.  The gospel of grace without the works of the law is what HE feeds us.  This mysterious THIRD part is mentioned all through Revelation.  It is the grace_ people of faith.  Only those who have faith in Jesus Christ and his blood to cleanse us will be saved;  the rest will be cut off and die.  If you think you can be saved by keeping the sabbaths, tithing, or anything else of that old law and that will save you, you are mistaken and will die, eternally.

9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

The True Jerusalem

Zechariah 12: 12 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

² Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.

Notice, the above is the words of the Lord; the burden of the word.  ‘12 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

² Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.  [Who did this?  The Lord.  Who are the people?  All of them.  When?  When they are in siege against Who?  You will think it is talking about the natural, earthly town of Jerusalem;  but is it?  Not at all.  This is a very serious MISTAKE that almost everyone makes and it totally kills your hope of ever finding the truth of Scripture!

Who causes people to tremble? Who were they in siege against?  Who was the world, the kings and others gathered against?  If you think this is about an earthly city falsely called Jerusalem, you are blind and will never see any truth with this lie in our mind. This lie is causing more evil and people to end up lost than anything else ever in existence.

³ And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Who is The Stone?  Let’s see: Daniel 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.        Daniel 2:35

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.     [This is the kingdom of Jesus Christ]

  Daniel 2:45  Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

So who is the stone that cuts them to pieces:  Matthew 21:43-45 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.  [This verse makes it very clear that the STONE that broke them to pieces is JESUS.  Jesus is this stone.  Jesus is that City.  Jesus is that Jerusalem.  Put these verses together and it is solidly PROVEN. 

Zechariah 3:9  For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.   [So who has the seven eyes?  Do you know?  Is it that natural city?

Now for the right answer: 1 Peter 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1 Peter 2:7
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1 Peter 2:8
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

 1 Peter 2:4  To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
1 Peter 2:6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1 Peter 2:7
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1 Peter 2:8
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

So there is your stone that they were against.  The stone that the builders rejected became the headstone.

So how is it Jerusalem?  Let’s see: Daniel 9:18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.

Daniel 9:19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.  [ So, what city is called by the name of the Lord?  Jerusalem…. So then, Jerusalem is the name of the Lord.   The earthly city that David falsely called Jerusalem was truly a Canaanite City named Jebus.   That earthly city is NOT JERUSALEM.   Jesus is. 

So then don’t you see that the stone that the people and kings were gathered against is JESUS?  They murdered him!  This is what this is all about.  So see how the world has and is missing the real truth of the Word of God by thinking each time they see the words, Jerusalem, Israel, Judah, etc, that it is speaking about that carnal earthly town that is truly a Canaanite City?

So, is Israel the same?  Let’s see. Genesis 32: 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

Deut. 28: 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.    [ this proves that the name of Israel is also the name of the Lord because the nation was called Israel.  But it is not their own name;  it is the name of the Lord.  They were as Jacob… being called by the name of the Lord.  So Jerusalem is Jesus and Israel is also Jesus.  Jesus is called David;  Joshua; Levi and many other names in  Scripture.  This is one of the deep and hidden secrets which has blinded people to any real truth. ]

The true place of Jerusalem was in the Garden of Eden, before the flood.  Proof?  Sure. 

Abel was killed in that Jerusalem:  Mat. 23: 35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.   [If that house, Jerusalem, was left DESOLATE, it is still desolate.  It is also Babylon:  Proof:  sure> Rev. 18..  Speaking to Babylon:  24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.   [See, same words as in Mat 23.]

Proof that the old nation of Israel was cursed by God;  it is desolate; forever;  cursed forever:  God cursed the priests:  Malachi 2 2 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.   3: 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

There it is;  God cursed that whole nation and yet people still think they are somehow special to God.  They truly should study this Word and stop believing those lies. 

So who is the blessed Seed?  The blessed nation?  The chosen people?  Let’s see:

Galatians 3: 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

The promised faith seed is Christ;  not old Israel.  They are cursed.  Romans 2 says that he is not a Jew which is one outward.  Study the Word of God or end up with the cursed seed of old earthy Jerusalem/Israel.  

Now more proof that the Jerusalem that the Word of God is about is Jesus:  Zech. 12: 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

The house of David is the kingdom of Jesus Christ.  He is the spirit of Grace.  He is the one they pierced.  That is when the kings, nations and all the people were gathered together against HIM.  Stop crediting the glory that belongs to only JESUS to that evil earthly town falsely called Jerusalem.  They are not the true Jerusalem or the true Israel.  The people of FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST ARE THE ISRAEL OF GOD.  IT is Jesus.

By:  Jo Smith.   January 9, 2026.  My first message this year. 

The Spirit of Grace

By Grace are we saved.  Grace is the Gift of God.  But what does it really mean, ..  to live by Grace?  … to be  saved by Grace?…  to have the Spirit of Grace?   Is Grace unconditional?  Seems that almost everyone thinks this is the answer.  But I will prove in this message that Grace is NOT UNCONDITIONAL.  It is VERY very important that you learn this great truth.

Many think that they are alright, on the way to heaven and have nothing to be concerned about.  But I will show you that this attitude is false and dangerous to your soul.  There are countless people who think that just because they said I believe in Jesus that they are saved for eternity and nothing will cause them to be lost.   This is a very false belief.  Lying preachers have convinced the world that they have not one thing to worry about if they just believe.  Well that lying preacher will land you into hell;  he is the gate to hell.

Probably most who read this far have already stopped.  But so be it.  If you care no more for your soul’s salvation than that, so be it to you. 

The very fact that you have not studied the Word of God enough to also know what I am about to show you proves that you are under a strong delusion.  The most important Book in all existence is the pure Word of God and yet you ignore it.  You take some lying preacher’s word for everything so you have no obligation to study the Word for yourself.  Proves you have not known the true God.

People think that all that is necessary for salvation is that God gives you HIS grace.  But this is not true.  Sure, God must first give you HIS Grace….  But then you MUST ALSO GIVE OTHERS YOUR GRACE.   Now for the proof:

Mat. 18: 18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

² And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

³ And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

The disciples of Jesus had this dispute a few times.  Jesus rebuked it each time.  Why?  You must love your neighbor as yourself.  When you desire to be above another that is not love and it is not Grace.  Jesus said ye must be converted and become as little children to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

The above verses show what Grace is…  be willing to forgive other people their sins against  you limitless times.  ‘If you forgive not from the HEART every trespass against you God will not forgive you your trespasses’.   

Now for the Scripture that nails down this principle that God will TAKE BACK HIS GRACE IF YOU DO NOT ALSO GIVE YOUR GRACE TO THOSE WHO DID YOU WRONG:

STUDY Mat. 18 until you see this clearly IF YOU VALUE ETERNAL LIFE

23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.    [This is the time of judgment.]

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.  [This means that the servant had not repented of many sins and had not put to use the gifts that God has given to him.]

25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.,,,  [Here God was saying let this man pay for his own sins because he had not repented and then lived right.]

26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all….   [Here the man is trying to repent and ask for forgiveness.]

27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. … [Here the man is refusing to give grace or forgiveness for this person’s debt to him.  He is showing no grace to this debtor. ]

31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.  ..[Now you either must call Jesus a lie or admit that this is showing that if you do not give grace or forgiveness to others God will take back the grace that He has already given to you.]

Now this clearly proves that God will take back his forgiveness to you for your sins if you do not also forgive others who sin against you.  You must also give Grace to others if you expect God to give you His Grace.  Do you really have the Spirit of Grace?  Examine your own self and see if you are in the faith.  This is how you do it.  Be honest with yourself…  Do you wish to be above others?  Do you wish for your family to be special above others?  Do you not forgive others as God forgave you?  Do you consider yourself to be  so above someone else that you refuse to speak to them or be nice to them?  If any of these things are in your life, repent and turn from your own pride.  God resists the proud but gives Grace to the humble.  Your pride will keep you from having the Grace of God. 

Mat. 5: ³⁸ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: …[This is the way of LAW;  WHAT YOU do to me I will do to you. Revenge!  No forgiveness! No Grace.  That is law. ]

³⁹ But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

⁴⁰ And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

⁴¹ And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

⁴² Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

⁴³ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

⁴⁵ That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.   .[This is teaching us how to live by Grace.  Unless you do these things you do not have the Spirit of Grace, so God will not give you His Grace.]

⁴⁶ For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?  …[Those who will snob someone whom they feel is beneath them will not have Grace.  There is no reward to those with this ‘holier than thou attitude’.

⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? …[This proves that if you will only speak to your friends you will not have Grace.]

⁴⁸ Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

If you are willing to steal from someone you are not in grace because you are not loving your neighbor as yourself.  If you speak lies against a person you are also not in grace;  you are not loving that person or giving him grace.  This same principle applies to all areas of life.  Love everyone enough to do them no harm.  Go thy way, follow Jesus, do as he did and be thou perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.  Lying preachers taught us that this is not possible.  Seems he never read the word he pretends to be teaching….  For hire. 

Live by Grace or die eternally!

When God said, Let not the day my Mother bear me be blessed, He meant it. He fixed it so you cannot do that thing.

No one ever ‘celebrates’ the day of the birth of Jesus. God blotted that day out, so you cannot do it.

Yet you obey your mark of the beast church and pretend to do it.

But here is what you are really doing:

Haggai 2: 18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider it.

19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

20 And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,

21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

The day the foundation of the Lord’s house was laid is the day Jesus was CRUCIFIED.

NOW THE ABOVE SHOWS THAT TO BE THE 24TH DAY OF A CERTAIN MONTH.

SCRIPTURE CLEARLY SAID IT WAS…. COLD.

REV 11 CLEARLY PROVES THIS MERRY MAKING IS TO REJOICE OVER THE DEATH OF HIS WITNESSES.

JOHN AND JESUS WERE HIS WITNESSES.

THEN THE APOSTLES. THEN ME.

YES, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE DOING YESTERDAY AND TODAY.

this has to be right for scripture has to interpret scripture. not your pastor. he has no truth in him.

if he did he would not be partaking of this merrymaking.

neither would you.

hate me; hate this truth; it will not change it. this is God’s word.

now you give me word for what you are doing.

see? it is not there so you do not live by God’s word.

Dec 24 is the day they killed or murdered Jesus.

so there you have the real truth.

that is the day the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid.

nothing else fits this. it has to be right.

you are all on sinking sand.

He said, from this day forward I will bless you. From the day that Jesus died for our sins, he has blessed us.

The dimensions

1.  First heaven/earth.   Great image:  1.  Gold head…  Lion head.  Adam in first heaven/earth.
2. Eden.  silver head; Adam.. [beginning to pick up dross].  .. Bear Kingdom… Noah.
3. Brass head.  Leopard kingdom… [4 heads = a. Shem.   b.  Ham … c. Japeth .. Abraham.
4. Iron head.  Law.  bruises breaks in pieces…  destroys..  Moses..  OT up to Day of Pentecost. {in between these comes Jesus..  Part iron; part clay.  Spiritual yet fleshly.  Of the seven yet becomes the Eighth and final head .
5. Church.  Babylon whore.  Mixture of iron and clay.  Partly strong/ partly broken.  Mixture of law and grace.
6. Wilderness:  Woman/manchild..  Learning the mysteries.  Being perfected; bearing fruit in old age.  Being sanctified. Kept safe from the serpent/lies.  Being fed the Holy Bread.  Growing to maturity. 
7. Judging:  Psalm 149; Revelation 11;  The Resurrected saints judging the world.  Wrath being poured out.  Taking down the wicked kingdoms of this world.  
8. Third Heaven/earth.  Final glorious, resting place for those who overcome all of the above and smote that image in the head and took it all the way down.  We overcame and now sit in Heavenly places.

the End: One Eternal Day:

1Cor. 15: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Return

The Fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood, in the days of OLD

Joshua 24: 2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

Genesis 31:13

I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

[all of these verses hold a secret message for any who can ‘hear’.  The earthly captives who serve Jesus are promised we can return to our first estate;  that of being sons of God in a glorified world;  before the fall of man.  We were sent here to ‘sit in the dust’ till such time as we are permitted BACK to the land of our Fathers = the Garden of God.] = glorified.

Leviticus 25:10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

Genesis 32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

Leviticus 25:41 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

Leviticus 27:24 In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.

The Jubile shows the resurrection when we will be delivered from this bondage and captivity to return to our Father’s land or Eden.

Jerusalem/Israel was never the earthly folks or land that we call Jerusalem.  It was the Garden of God where Cain killed Abel, Mat 23.  So said Jesus.  Israel is the name of the Lord;  Daniel. 

The fake Jews pretend to be the Israel of God but they do lie and deceive the world.  That land was never Jerusalem;  it is a Cannanite city called Jebus. It is not the land of our Fathers of old.   He that has ears to hear let him hear.  The rest will be blinded.

[So, that is what the cities of refuge was or is!]

Numbers 35:28 Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

We fled to this world as a place of refuge until our High Priest died for us.  Just wow.

[When I set out to prove this great mystery that God has revealed to me I had no idea that this much was ‘hidden’ in the story surface of Scripture!]

Ecclesiastes 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Ezekiel 36:11 And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. [and just what might those ‘chains’ be?  Great mystery here!]

Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Ezekiel 16:55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

Surely you must know that God’s true people are called the heavens?  The precious sons of God that sang for joy in the morning?  The precious sons of God were cast down from heaven to earth.  Lam.  They were changed from whiter than snow to blacker than a coal.  

Isaiah 50:3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.   [sackcloth means mortal flesh or our earthly body]  This is what Scripture proves that word to mean.

Come down and sit in the dust<  Isad 47.  So the heavens fell from heaven to earth;  from being glorified to being made of the dust of the ground.  Great mysteries here going uncovered for thousands of years.

So, you like to learn mysteries? Then get in here and study and learn.  How can you continue to deny that the heavens were sons of God in the image of God = spiritual beings.  Glorified beings who were made to never die. But die they did!  They fell from heaven to earth.  If you would read the King James Scriptures you would know this.

God made coats of SKIN and CLOTHED THEM with sackcloth.  Foolish lying preachers/commentators, claim that God killed a little sheep and clothed them with the sheep’s skin?  Such carnality! Junk!

This life here is a body made of the dust of the ground is captivity;  it is the shadow of death!  It is blackness!   Job 3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

Nahum 2:10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness

Jude: 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever…. [these wicked ones never repented so they never made it back home.]

Lamentations 2:1 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger! … [that cloud the he covered the daughter of Zion with is this body of dust.]

Ezekiel 30:18 At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity…. [In this verse we have two of the words that show the captivity as they were cast down from heaven = glorified… to being in the dust body…. A cloud covering her and going into captivity.]

Ezekiel 32:7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light… [Here is some of the verses that first put me onto this many years ago.  Who is HE speaking to here?  Who did he put out?  First, Adam.  Us.  It also refers to Jesus being crucified.]

Ezekiel 34:12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. … [You may think this is only referring to a ‘natural people’ but no.  It is the glorified People who lived in Eden, being cast out to this dust existence;  in captivity to this body of death;  held down by gravity to this earth.  Doubt it all you wish but you are missing the greatest mystery ever to be uncovered.  Only those who find this great truth will return to our ORIGINAL ESTATE.]

Nahum 1:3 The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet… [see that?  The clouds are the DUST of his feet.  Feet means those of us here in this dust body without wings to fly.  Another mystery]

There is a lot of work to writing this message.  There is a lot to read,  those who want the truth of God will take the time to read and study this.  Most will not even look at it and will end up never making it back home because you loved this life more than the things of God.

If you have eyes to see, and ears to hear. ..  Here is proof of one one the greatest mysteries ever to be revealed to a human being.
