Moses, Aaron and Pharaoh are all actors in a play. Exodus 7

Paul the Apostle wrote this to the believers in his day. “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became an adult, I put away childish things.” He was talking about the Old Testament Law and our conversion into The New Testament realities of the life in the spirit of being “in Christ” as a way to shelve and fulfill the Old Testament Law and the prophets. Even as Paul said that “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from that OLD law of sin and death.” (meaning The Mosaic Law) showing us thats the demarcation line between the two Testaments, Covenants and their respective Kingdoms. An Earthen one made of earthen brick verses The Heavenly made up of “Living Stones (US) built up a habitation of God in the Spirit”.

If you remember in the wilderness wandering with Moses, the Israelite’s were called “children” some 1200 plus times. Instead of having scripture in written form like we have, they put on plays on Feast Days as dress rehearsals and walking them out over and over for their learning.

This they passed on to us NOT for amusement or for us too, as lessons for them and us to learn certain Eternal truths that the law culture only mimicked with visual toys and put into picture plays for our learning, of invisible realities and Eternal truths “fulfilled in Christ”.

These are for us who are now “in Christ” who is our promise land. Because He is the Son of God and the Israel of God! That is if you have learned to put off the deeds of the flesh.

So in conclusion, to be “in Christ” is to be in the land where the promises come into fruition. That Christ is our land of promises. And because Christ is the Word of God (John 1). That when we are in Gods Word, we are in God the Father’s Israel. And because God’s Son came and expired all the visuals with the coming of Christ, then there is no longer the need for the physical visuals because we have God’s Word, Only Begotten and Christ. To mean to think that the physical visuals to need to be more than just a story, or a picture play, is not accepting and even rejecting Christ’s work of the cross, our crossover into the eternal. That the law era interlude was “added to make sin exceedingly sinful”, and “The Law of the Spirit of life in Christ (Who is the Israel of our Heavenly Father in whom we reside) HAS SET US FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH AND THAT CULTURE.

So then the book of The Exodus (the cross over from death to life) instructs us in picture form what the ceremony of “Baptism” accomplishes NOT in their 40+ years, but in the events preceding and up to the crossover of The Red Sea. It was the angel of death who came to bring death to them, to “passover” to leave without them, to then have all their enemies (boogie men) that chased them, drowned in the Red Sea, to have them free and clear for their expedition through the “Promise Land” where we learn of God’s promises to us NOT for daily provisions, but for us to put on Christ. To abide in Christ is to abide in God the Father’s Israel and only Begotten Son. That is why believers are called sojourners, not here on tera firma, or in the desert, but through God’s promises which satisfies a parched spirit.

This is us using visible things to teach us invisible realities “in Christ” as opposed to being “in Adam” the old man and old nature. That we crossed over at the cross, to be in “The New Creation” as us being newly created. As Paul said “Old things having past away, behold all things are New and all things are from God” the Father. To be a foregone conclusion.

That  once you’ve learned this lesson and passed the test, then you move on the next set of toys and tests till you learn that lesson too, until you reach “the fullness of Christ “.

As it says in Hebrews, “let us therefore move on (to travel or sojourn) to perfection not laying again the same foundations of dead works towards God”. Dead Works means to repetitively do something over and over and not learn. Kinda like those who’ve acknowledged the feasts but not the lessons. God doesn’t want blind submissions.

Let’s look at our first act in this series of plays here in Exodus 7.

ACT 1. BAPTISM, THE FIRST ACT OF DELIVERANCE.

So God said to Moses: “See, I have made you (to act like a) God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall (play the part of the mouth piece as) your prophet. ² You shall speak all that I command you (as being God like Me). And Aaron your brother (as the prophet) shall tell Pharaoh the evil villain) to send the children of Israel out of his land (where they were in hard bondage as servants under lords) ³ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart (portraying the god of this age and Satan), and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt (that symbolizes the world). ⁴ But Pharaoh is NOT going to listen to you, so that I may lay My (invisible) hand on Egypt and bring My ^[a]armies, My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt (of hard bondage being Lorded over) by great judgments. ⁵ And the Egyptians shall know that I AM that I AM, when I stretch out My (invisible) hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”

This was Act 1 in a play where the Israelite’s (Christ is the Israel of God) were in their huts for the night with the blood of the lamb applied over their door posts, for the angel of death to then pass over them. (think of Feast Days here and The Passover Lamb Celebration and this symbolism of your baptism where we accept the Lamb of God’s payment for us to be renewed).

It is here that they were instructed to “eat their pass over lamb in haste” (meaning that the fruits of baptism wasn’t a long drawn out process or a lifestyle but accomplished in an event. That to overcome Satan sin and death was accomplished with your identifying with Baptism as portrayed here. That the gift was in a completed form, and gifted to us and retroactive from that moment on. As sojourners and pilgrims through the word of God, to learn how to apply the new you and the tools you’ve been given to overcome your obstacles in the faith.

That they were to assemble themselves, to take their trophies of “great wealth” and cross the Red Sea where all of their enemies would be drowned to death in that water, to never need to be dealt with ever again… If you can receive it. For the New Testament fulfillment of this read Colossians 2.11-15

The lesson here for us is that with this one act of faith, of believing something invisible (by Gods written promises) and out of view to the carnal senses, as are all of Gods gifts to us. This then being the reason for parables and stories, is for us to fully understand the gift from God to us from His Only Begotten Son, that “whosoever believes in Him in this way, shall not perish but have everlasting life” from that moment you learn from those Plays.

This is why they were called children, so that receiving these things as facts or truths in the spirit of the mind, we can put away these “festivities as being childhood toys” to experience the real deal of “life in the that sets us free from the law of sin and death” with all it’s presentations and modern agencies pilfering off of the fear of death and dying now with a spirited mind of faith. In this way you have been provided a new world view, a Heavenly one.

Unfortunately for many, they get stuck in the plays and the patterns and man made protections from fear and death.

As Paul teaches in Galatians that “Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,² but is under guardians and stewards (teaching instruments) until the time appointed by the father. Of which each of us is different.

So it is the slaves under Lords who are stuck serving the law. They cannot receive these because they cannot transfigure into the new. So are you a servant or an heir? If you are doing the feasts without learning, thinking that you are pleasing God through repetition without transfiguring, you are wrong. That is why the whole generation with Moses died in the wilderness except Joshua and Caleb.

BAPTISM TOOLS

It is because Moses name means “one drawn out of water”, like at a baptism and to double stamp the meaning of this parable, that Moses who was put in a small Ark as a baby, to be pulled out after the danger passed, then to be raised by Pharaohs daughter, is you learning these while you are a sojourner and a pilgrim on Earth but for an Eternal purpose.

Now you can understand the purpose for the book of Exodus (meaning to exit the old way of thinking and cross over). And the opening act in the play was just that, a play of words with silly play things. And again “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became an adult, I put away childish things”. This is how you do it. Put away the bond woman and her son? Yes! The whole thing. All the law and prophets end with the cross of Christ. That is where they crossed over from death to life.

 Testament as our commander and Chief of the armies of God

END OF ACT 1 AND THE INTRODUCTION TO ACT 2

Moses, the prophets and company portrayed the Old Covenant, while Joshua or Yashuah that many today call Jesus, portrays the New Covenant Christ and Savior. And because Joshua and Jesus are both names that are translated  from the same Greek and  Hebrew word Yashuah, from Strongs Concordance number H3091 it should be easy to understand the pictures and the players in the next series of acts in this play from The Book of Joshua as described here is where he is playing the part of The Savior.

Joshua chapter 5. and The Holy Sandals.

¹³ And it came to pass, when Joshua/Jesus (same word) was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite  him (think of Joshua as looking at Christ in a mirror) with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

¹⁴ So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army God I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

¹⁵ Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.”

 If you remember the last place that was described as “Holy ground” was where Moses was instructed to take off his sandals because he too was standing on Holy ground. Meaning that both of these pictures, one with Moses and the other with Joshua, were both giving in picture form for us, to put into a play (as childhood toys) to the Israelite’s, for them to learn Heavenly realities with the lessons they walked out in their real lives as actors in a play and passed on to us in picture play form for our learning and benefit.

And the proof that these toys were part of a play, is that like with Moses and Joshua were cautioned about “the place where you stand is Holy Ground” where Moses was instructed to take off his sandals, there is another account of such Holy sandals with the last Old Testament prophet called John the Baptist. You see He experienced the sandals in a different way. Instead of the ground being Holy, this time the Holiness was in the sandals. For you see he said “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire.”

The lesson here is that with Moses the sandals were the insulation between the picture play place for Holy Ground and for Joshua the commander of the Israelite’s, the Holiness was found in The Commander and Chief of Gods Army. But the most miraculous and awesome thing about the testimony of John the Baptist about The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” whose Sandal straps that John was not worthy to loose, was that in this case the Holiness was wearing the sandals.

If you could just stop here for one moment and think about this. Revel and Glory in this because Moses and Joshua experienced Act 1 and Act 2 of a play that carried out all the way to the time of David, who also was the commander and chief of God’s Army, but he was also The High Priest who brought the Ark of The Covent on a New Cart where if a man touched it he dies as did Uzzah for reaching out his hand to help the cart because he thought it too feeble for the rocky road. So God smote him for his arrogance and for not knowing who would save whom and how.

So it was David who after taking all of the articles of faith up on top of Mt Zion to expire them to not need to be used EVER AGAIN in a play like fashion because the play was over.

We know this because when David and his men had taken up to Mt Zion The City of Daved and expired the visible articles of faith in this way, he then took off ALL his clothes and danced unabashedly and naked in the city square in a joyous fashion that sparked a disdain and a jealousy from his earthen wife. As scripture is written here “ And David said unto Michal (his queen and wife), It was before God, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of God, over Israel: therefore will I (be like an actor in a) play before the Almighty God.

For David had dance naked, meaning uncovered, unvailed, naked, exposed and fully “revealed”, which is where we get the word “Apocalypse” and “Revelation” as in the Book Of The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, not so much that He  Christ is naked, but open and exposed in our thinking through the Word of God, because “In the Beginning was The Word, The Word was with God, and The Word was God”. So when we consume The Word of God in this way, we become “godly” meaning like our Father which is the purpose for “The Gospel once and for ALL delivered to the Saints” as our only means and methods of doing so.

And if you can understand that the Book of The Revelation was NOT about mourning, death destruction and woes, no that was the side show to distract the disingenuous onlookers. Like the spies who were looking in the valley’s with Ahab for Elijah, or the 2 spies who were sent out another way by Rehab. They were disingenuous and undeserving of these insights.

You see “The Revelation of Jesus Christ was about a full exposure. And that exposure is NOT for the disingenuous, because The Bride of Christ is the hidden Counterpart of Christ called “Heavenly Jerusalem” the Mother of the elect and Godly offspring of our Heavenly Father. If this were not true, She would not have been the Grand Finally and closing act in the book of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, being a play on words for the one who “in the beginning was the Word, The Word was with God and The Word Was God, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever!

THE LAST ACT OF THE PLAY.

So David portrayed the final act in the play on words and closing of the curtains on that stage. But we get what the Play only portrayed outside, inside of ourselves as receiving the Bonified Original The Grand Finally, not as the end of the play of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, for that too was just a play on words of sounds like, looks like, but not really like because it is light years advanced in purpose as well as composition and design as “The Kingdom prepared from The foundations of the world. Yes Heavenly Jerusalem “The Mother of us all” (Galatians 4.26) is a completed city that is only under construction in your thinking. She gets built up in The Spirit of your minds.

These plays were only broken down in concept while the real ones Eternal in the Heavens, were never taken out of their place. They were never brought to earth to need to be returned to their position but await our arrival, not in a way with physical means but as you accept these truths in the spirit of your minds. This is “The Kingdom Prepared from the foundations of the World.  And if Christ is in you and you are in Him as scripture implies, then maybe you should think of your own sandals or shoes as being an insulation between you and the world as being encapsulated in the love and safety of our Heavenly Father. If you remember when Jesus washed the disciples feet that Peter said. Wash all of me. Then Christ said if you’ve had your feet washed, you are completely clean, John 13.10. Then when you put your sandals or shoes back on? That is your insulation between you and the temporary.

This is our sanctification of God. And if all things are “in Christ”, and you are in Christ, now you have them too because “old things HAVE past away, behold all things are new and all things ARE from God” our Heavenly Father,,,  That is if you’ve quit looking outside for something you have within, then the Old Testament concepts are all expired and shelved because you put away the toys that only portrayed the real.

This is why The Kingdom of God is at hand”. But only to the renewed in the spirit, mind of faith.

Just as John the apostle was in a Hellish place called The Island of Patmos, and also “In The Spirit on The Lord’s Day for The Revelation of Jesus Christ”? So are we! Because wherever we are…

The Kingdom of God is at hand! As being in us.

I HAVE GIVEN THEM YOUR NAME AND THEY HAVE KEPT IT (John 17.6)

These where the words from the Son of God in His dialogue to the Father on His fateful night leading up to the cross. Keeping the Fathers name was this important for us to receive it, so much so in fact that He reported that back to our Father before He left. So the Fathers name should be of monumental importance for us to try to understand in meaning at least if not in spelling but in context.

For you see there is a difference between a name and a title. For example your neighbor could be a man, a husband and a father who is a doctor who believes in God who likes to fish who came from Europe, but none of those descriptions tell us his name. We consider these all to be aspects of character, however each title is only part of who this person is.

So it goes with scripture and the various names, definitions and titles of God. And however, of the whole collection of scripture with all commentaries and sermons , we only talk about NOT Gods names so much, but His tasks, for you see even the name of the Son of God they call Jesus is not a name but a title because the name/title given to Him is just a description of a task He had to perform for our deliverance, saving, protection and sanctification. As scripture attests that “God (already) sent His Son into the world NOT to condemn but to save. But after we are saved, we see Him in another light.

For this reason people call Him “Savior” because that was central to the work that He did for the redemption of humanity. But after He redeems, saves and delivers, that name, task and title no longer clearly depicts who He is to us but something that He did and who He became temporarily to accomplish the task. But He returned to The Father and is now “seated in heavenly places far above ALL principalities and powers”. However His work is still being played out to us today through “the Gospel once and for all delivered to the saints” because that’s the way the Godhead does things. They do them once and they do them right, that’s what righteous means. They don’t modify as they go as though their calculations need corrected.

Christ was only left behind in Word form to be repeated, for our assimilation to be absorbed in the respirated mind of faith to become godly. This is why it is written in Romans 12 to “be ye renewed in the spirit of your mind”. And that word renewed is also translated “transformed” but more correctly from the Greek, it is for us to be “transfigured” from the word “metamorphosis” like a caterpillar to a butterfly. Yes this is the same word “transfiguration” that the disciples saw with Christ on the Mount, that happens to us through scripture.

Yes this is our transformation “into the self same image, from the Glory to the Glory as by the Spirit”, that whisks about you even now being The Comforter and Helper to assist us in our pursuit for our cause. The gospel message in no way infers that Christ will put on the flesh (become a caterpillar) again for “flesh and blood does not inherit The Kingdom. So how can His Kingdom be of Earthen matter? If so, how can it be said that the Kingdom of God is at hand now”

Christ came to reset humanity, to wipe away the obscurities from the Old Covenant and those stewards of the faith, and to make the way to the Father clean, cleared and opened for our unhindered interaction with God In His various titles, but God is one, God is Echad, but broken down in concept only for our spiritual consumption of Word (John 1.1) And now we are called to associate with Him without the surrogate names for they all have the singular purpose to fulfill and expire each in their own order. Even as we read from the Psalms  I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. In this way Gods Word is like Jacob’s ladder with Bethel, meaning “the House of God” at the top. For in Gods word are His titles, names for tasks and characteristics like rungs on a ladder to clamor up to a seat with your new name on it with the Father, to absorb and be like Him where it counts “in Spirit and Truth”.

And when it comes to the title “Christ” and the name “Jesus”, it comes from the Hebrew name Joshua, or more clearly Yeshua, because if you trace them all back through the obscurities through interpretations, that is where we simply trace that title to, but the Savior who saved, had a different title/name before His saving act. And because “He is the same yesterday, today and forever” He removed His flesh to occupy only the spirit being His original composition of Spirit and Truth . However His saving task is done or He could not have joined The Father in His rest, and why Christ is seated waiting for His enemies to become His footstool because the game is over. Wickedness just does not know that yet. (Hebrews 1)

So in truth Christ and Jesus, Joshua and Yashua describe a task that had to be done because all those names mean the same thing. But now that the saving price was paid at the cross for all of humanity, now who is He? Even as the Godhead conferred and they said “who shall go from among us (to save mankind) and who shall we send and I (The Son of God) said here I am send Me”. And the Son of God came forth during that proverbial Rock, Paper and scissor game. He became The Savior Redeemer and Extractor of evil  because that is what Yashuah, Joshua, Jesus and Christ means, each from their respective language. But more accurately and clearly put “In the Beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God, He was in the beginning with God” before God ever spoke a word, who was the Christ? Because that role was not needed until God said so. So it is The Word that Saves with the Witness of the Holy Spirit.

The Son is more clearly the collection of everything about the Father that we’ve inherited as “joint heirs. And because nothing existed outside of God, He assigned to the Son to be NOT the Architect and designer of creation so much but the agency and the power to do so with the impedes of the Holy Spirit. For God said… and His Son called Word came forth for the task, at the behest and the thrust of  Gods Breath called The Holy Spirit who “Brooded over the face of the waters” showing the Holy Spirits role in creation.

So there you see the Engineer being the mind of God before His spoken Word went forth by the power and the unction of the Holy Breath and Spirit of God as being the three who said. But still even with these performing creation, these are examples of tasks that had to be done. They All retired from those titles for those tasks because that is what the Sabbath Days Rest is to remind us. It is the retirement that refers to a job well done. And from the saying of God, “it was good, very good”.

So here you see the tasks for creation distributed among the Godhead Body at creation and redemption. Salvation for humanity is secured to the completion of the harvest as the wheat and the tares mature.

That is why God calls us to His reassembled self, that we too can rest from our works and weary task of trying to find Him. With us now being “living stones assembled as a habitation of God in the Spirit”.

It is as people look for another work as though God forgot or overlooked something, thinking He is like man to return that way. But because He is every where all the time, we just have to clear up our foggy thinking and wake up to these truths and sit down with Them there.

Kind of like the proverbial game of musical chairs. Some of us have already sat in our chair while the music’s playing. Where will you be when the music stops for you and the lights come on?

Because creation was created in 6 days, and  with Them being done, the only thing left to do is for you to be saved, sanctified and set apart not set in limbo to wait for the next Jesus because if that is the case then the Word of God who became the Christ Jesus, Joshua, Yashuah could not have entered His Rest, to be seated with the Father because His saving work would not be done if He has to come again like at a second coming to perform some sort of rescue mission because the Savior of the world already performed His one time rescue act. And too with His Kingdom, since it is “At Hand”. What is it that you still need for that to be true for you? He would then be on standby still working. But because as He said to The Father in John 17 that “Father I have finished the work you have given Me to do. I have given those You have given Me your name and they Have kept it”. He was speaking of more than just a title or titles for tasks to be done, but of those who have collected the various titles and tasks given to the Son, re-assemble them in ourselves, receive the invitation to be seated with them in the Heavens far above all principalities and powers”. We have set aside the wranglings the fretting and wringing of hands in irritation, in exchange for the peace of God .

This is the Gospel completed in us. As James said to be “full and complete lacking nothing”. And James would not have said that if it was not possible. This is the place where we see all the titles for all of the tasks of God reassembled.

This is like Joseph’s coat of many colors. The coat is the first glance with its many colors or patches are His various titles of tasks He had to do to be able to sit back down, having told the Father “it is done”. Eternal beings do things only once and not repetitive like the feasts of God and the Word/words of God, but they are not. For even as the Father said “For so shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth. It shall accomplish all of My desire and it shall not return to me void, for you will go out with joy and you will be led forth by peace”. And so we do!

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, (Deuteronomy 29.29) 

The Word of God is given for our own discovery, not just of God, but the components of the Godhead and who we are as “the man in the mirror” as we put on His word for the new creation of our transformation.

For this reason we see in the book of Joshua right before they cross over the River Jordan to topple Jericho with shouts to drop the wall, Joshua sees a man stand opposite him who says “I have now come forth as commander… This one who stood before Joshua was the true deliverer who Joshua was to shadow in temporary things the Son of God in the invisible. As with all the pictures in scripture they have their Eternal counterpart and that’s what Joshua was, a commander, chief a leader and a Savior for Gods Israel. (Joshua 5.13-15)

We know this because as we research the name Jesus, we can trace it directly to Joshua. Do you know that of all the times that the title/name Jesus is translated, there is one only place it is translated correctly and that is with Joshua in the book of Hebrews. Why did they translate it Joshua? Because if they didn’t, if they used the title Jesus, it would not have made the correct association with the character Joshua. But the real lesson here is that the title Jesus is not an accurate rendering from His Old Testament picture.

Think about it, when you go anywhere, you may go as a lest us say “doctor”, and the title “doctor” may have a completely different pronunciation from every other language, but you always use the same name. Meaning that if, and we mean if, if The Son of Gods name was Jesus, wouldn’t that be His name always? Would Matthew introduce himself as Frank or Salvador because he went to a different country or culture? No!

It is for the same reason the name Jesus should not be changed to Joshua or Yehoshuah or any of the variables. Meaning that the titles given to God and His Only Begotten Son may be many, but their names never change. Even as God said though Micah “I am… and I change not!” But we can learn this lesson from His word from Psalms 138.2 “ For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.

”All your Name” because a collection of Gods titles and names is the fuller revelation. For just as His names/titles are many”. However “I Am that I Am and I change not”, and I Am what you need when you need it, as it pertains to us growing and becoming more like Him. And this is all done by putting Word on

And this is the point. What is the difference between a name and a title? In Gods honest truth the name given to Christ is just a title. Jesus derives from Joshua who is derived from Yahshua to Yahshuah,  which originates from the tetronogram of YHVH, which is also the source word for the title “ savior” for that was central to the work The Son of God had to do. But after he saves, He is no longer a savior, and if He has to come and save, make safe again, He did a crappy job. But as He said in John 17. Father, I have completed the work you have given Me to do. I have kept those whom you have given Me out the world, I have given them your name and they have kept it. Now they know truly that I came forth from you, that I return to you and they see Me no more”. It was with these words and the saving savior of the cross expired.

In John 13, this Jesus, Joshua, Yahshua, savior was seated with His disciples and He walked out a parable for them. He was sitting and raised himself up (think of the invisible here). He then took off His robe, wrapped himself with a towel, dipped it in water and washed His disciples and said “if I do not wash you, you have no part IN Me. After washing them, He laid down the towel, put back on His robe and sat back down (Eternally) and said to them “do you realize what I have just done to you? And they ignorantly said “yes lord”. But what He did is to become one of us is that He got up from sitting with the Father, “became flesh and dwelt among us”, He washed us and sat back down. With this task accomplished the titles of Jesus, Joshua, Yeshua were all describing the work that He did to be expired in purpose. He just walked out in John 13 His purpose in parable form for becoming one of us. He rose up from the Father and took off His Deity, Putting on the robe was putting on a temporal purpose such is our time here. Then with the towel his flesh, He cleaned them then returned to His original disposition. And as Christ repeated in John16 that “I go to the Father and you see Me no more”, meaning any of those Savior titles you call Him. We know Him as “The Name no man can say because “eye has not seen nor man heard” nor can they say with their mouth correctly the name of God.

The point here is that if we can understand that none of those titles are names but job descriptions

, then we don’t have to argue about the name, but we do have to recognize them as titles only. And in truth Christ can take on the form of a servant as we’ve just seen, he can take on the form of a bus driver, a passer by on the street or in a store or take on the form of a street person or a child. For even John the Apostle in his book called “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”. He was seen at the end of the boom bowing to an angel thinking it was Jesus, Joshua, Yashuah, the savior and that angel told John “ see that you do NOT do that for I am one of thy brethren of those who keep the testimony of Christ, worship Him.

In closing there are two introductions we should remember. One was the rider on a white horse “11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns (titles). He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God”.

But lucky for those of us who are born again and borne from above in that, we can see His Kingdom, and we can enter His Kingdom because we have been borne from above of Spirit and Truth.

“The Kingdom of God is at hand” in this way, and we call it “The Word of God” which is the collection of The Names, places and persons of His Kingdom.

Part 1 from Exodus 3.14-16. God Was Self     Introduced As “I AM THAT I AM”.

And God said unto Moses, I Am that I Am:  and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the I Am hath sent me unto you. ¹⁵ And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial (to NOT forget) for all generations.” 

It was here that God had brought to mind a time when His favor was more obvious to those who are His. You see the time had come for God to make good on His promise to restore the offspring of Abraham as described here, where God told Abraham. (Genesis 15.13-14)“Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is NOT theirs, and they will serve them (as lords), and they will afflict them for four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also that nation whom they serve (Egypt) I will judge (harshly); afterward My children shall come out with great possessions.” (Hence the Exodus)

It is here that we pick up where the Israelite’s had become abject slaves, whereas when there father Jacob had his named change to Israel, it was because “he wrestled with God as a man and prevailed (Genesis 32.28). It was here that Jacob earned the noble name Israel because that’s what this name means, that Jacob prevailed. He got out from under, he was no longer subservient.

So in truth the Israelite’s in Egypt were NOTHING like their grand father “Israel” because they were subservient in all their ways. This demonstrated their need for redemption. For the restored and raising (resurrection) them back up as a self governing sovereigns into “the likeness of God” in the same way Adam was before the fall.

It was Jacob who wrestled with God and prevailed to in turn be called “Israel” because that is what the title “Israel” means. He was in the likeness of God and the purpose of creation is to make completed images of God. This is the gist of salvation. (Genesis 1.26). 

The book of the Exodus means exit and here it’s about the departure from slavery and a return with Gods promise to Abraham to come due as seen here from Exodus 2.23, “Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage (as slaves), and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of their bondage.”

You see it was NOT Gods intention for anyone or anything to lord it over His people. “Our God is a jealous God” and He is jealous for His people not so much to serve Him and call Him Lord. No, for that is still a lowly estate. His aspiration for us is for us to look at Him as if “we (who) are with open face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord are transfigured into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.“. With this one He is pleased.

Moreover He said “I AM the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God (an image they once were). And God said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are (being lorded over) in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters (lords), for I know their sorrows. So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians”. To reassert them into a position of understanding themselves, for them to no longer be lorded over, bullied or pushed around. To never call anybody or anything Lord or master again.

Moses then asked God, who shall I say who sent me when I go talk to the Israelite’s?

Exodus 3.14-16, And God said unto Moses, I Am that I Am: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the I Am hath sent me unto you. ¹⁵ And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: I AM is My name for ever, and this is My memorial for all generations.” 

So the first act of redemption for those enslaved in Egypt was to be restored to the name of God by which He Was Self Introduced As “I AM THAT I AM“. And in New Testament vernacular He is called”HIM WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME”, being Eternally congruent forward and backward without any breaks, intermissions or lapses of coverage’s. The “Great I am” is “the same yesterday, today and forever“. He is still now for us, who He was back then.

Also as it is said of His Only Begotten “The same yesterday, today and forever”. And we know them as One and the same. Christ demonstrated for us that it is possible, not as a long shot but to be expected that since Christ was an I Am and an owner of self in human form, SO CAN WE BE! Set aside your excuses and “reach out to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of you”. Which is equality among family members because “you are complete in Him who is head over all principalities and powers. The Pharaoh was a measly stepping stone into the presence of the fullness of the Father because if you had not availed like Jacob the wrestler, then you need to repeat the test.

WHAT SHOULD OUR MINDSET BE NOW?

It seams that today there is little conflict as to what The Creator Gods name is and most just call Him Lord in the same way the Israelite’s called Pharaoh did in their bondage and captivity.

Do you realize that in The Revelation of Jesus Christ, that Jerusalem was spiritually called Sodom and Egypt because it had elements of both of those kingdoms? That Jerusalem had returned to the mindsets to that of old?

Can you associate that with today with what you’ve learned through these teachings? Do you understand that the call went out to “come out of her My people lest you partake of her sins and receive of her judgments because God has remembered her”?

The truth is if you are bound by anything, if you serve another as superior in some capacity, and many do. They are bound by many contracts, terms and conditions with obligations to perform in various capacities but primarily with continual payments and contributions. They become obligated to perform or loose their right to collect from what they are putting their efforts into by way of these payments. This is a glorified form of slavery because you feel protected. But you insult the Father like Adam did with the fig leaf and because he sought coverage elsewhere, Adam needed to be redeemed, or bought back.

AND SO ISRAELITE’S NEEDED REDEEMED

This is why Gods first act of redemption to the people Israel was to straighten out the difference between titles and names and personal responsibilities.  God doesn’t call anything Lord, and needs to depend on NO MAN to serve Him. We then being in His images, we shouldn’t either. We should appear more like His Son, who is “the same yesterday today and forever”. But moreover He is an I AM too! And because He is the “protos’ meaning prototype, we know who we are to emulate

HOW THEN IS AN “I AM” DEFINED?……

Exodus 6 it is written that God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am.  God further told Moses, ³ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty (another title), but by My name Lord (YHVH) I was not known to them. ⁴ I have also ^[c]established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their ^[d]pilgrimage, whereby they were ^[e]strangers. ⁵ And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel (not a country but a people) whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. ⁶ therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am.

It was because of the Hebrew to English translators that things were added here to say “I AM the Lord. Lord is an early English word that replaced YHVH which was added. And with each consecutive translation that the “I AM” of God god stretched out into more and more names that mean the same thing.

Meaning that in the original Hebrew God simply said “I am” or “I am that I am”  So at this point of a redirect, for those who were calling God “lord”, “Master”, “Yehovah, “Yahweh”, “Jehovah” or any of other variations or extrapolations trying to clarify Gods name, they defeated the purpose for God to simplify announce Himself as. “I AM!”

From here He could simply add on. I am that I am, who was and is and is to come, The First and The Last. These are all variations in concept for our understanding. God is The Great I am, and That I am too!

Since God in fact began a reset with Moses in Exodus, to restore the truths from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that DID NOT INCLUDE LORD, it was because beliefs in Him got so misconstrued so as to require the slate be cleaned off and go back to the beginning, which is our point today.

The Israelite’s with Moses were slaves! Their understanding was flipped upside down because they served others.

As a result of this specific verse where “Lord” was added to the text by the translators, we can then understand that the title “lord”, “Jehovah”, “Yahovah”, “Yahweh” and ‘YHVH’,  have no right to be in the scriptures from Genesis 1.1 up to this point in Exodus because God just said they didn’t call Him that or He would not have taken offense at the title “lord” with all it’s subsequent variants here but He did. And He cleared this up and said just that “I AM”.

We can understand by this passage in scripture with certainty that every verse prior to the Exodus period that has the title “lord” applied to God, was all erroneously added by the translators because God had just said that previous generations DID NOT CALL HIM Lord with all its variants. And if they did not call Him lord, Lord and all the variables from that one word, the ONLY WAY that The book of Genesis even had the word lord with its variables is because NOT ONE of the assemblies of expository and translators understood this principle and this truth. At least not by the time scripture was rendered complete in English.

So therefore, when God told us His name, He could NOT have said that “I am the Lord” or “I am YHWH” or “I am Yahweh so shall My name be?” No, but simply just that “I AM that I AM, so shall My name be”.

That means we have to remove the verbage of “the Lord” and all its variables from that passage as well as the whole book of Genesis as unnecessary embellishments because God just said  “but by My name Lord (YHVH) I was not known to them”.

How could the translators have inserted that before the book of Exodus? Is God confused here?

For clearly in Genesis 15 God (I Am) told Abraham that after a number of years his offspring would go down into bondage to Egypt and need to be redeemed, and this redemption started with Gods name, “so shall My Name be.”

And just as they went down into bondage to Egypt back then as evidenced by their obscured views of the “I AM that I AM”, so too with Jerusalem in the time of Christ who spiritually called Jerusalem “Sodom and Egypt because they did NOT know Hom or they would not have slain “The God of Glory”…

That there was in That Jerusalem a need for another reset like with Moses in Exodus as an ongoing struggle of the faith of which we find ourselves in again in our day. For if a large portion of believers in Christ are given into today’s Jerusalem as though it is a God approved reconstruction, then they are going to experience the same type of damnation as the Jerusalem back then.

What that means is that the various embellishments associated with “the Lord” as pertaining to God has to be removed up to that point in scripture, and then from there clean up the places Lord was used and simplify the rules, because if God was trying to make this point, we must do our do diligence lest the same thing come upon us on whom the ends of the age has come.

In truth, these Bible accounts are all done for our discovery and our greater glory for “The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed to us belong to us and to our children for ever”.

¹⁴ And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.

¹⁵ And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

“I Am that I Am” is a common English translation of the Hebrew phrase אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה‎‎ (’ehye ’ăšer ’ehye; pronounced [ʔehˈje ʔaˈʃer ʔehˈje])– also “I am who I am”, “I will become what I choose to become”, “I am what I am”, “I will be what I will be”, “I create what(ever) I create”, or “I am the Existing One”.[1] The traditional English translation within Judaism favors “I will be what I will be” because the imperfective aspect in Modern Hebrew is normally used for future tense and there is no present tense with direct object of the verb “to be” in the Hebrew language.

For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?; 1 Corinthians 14.8

Unless God builds the house, They who labor labor in vain who build it; Psalms 127;1

These sayings address people whose efforts amount to nothing in regard to Gods book keeping of righteousness as if to do something to please our Heavenly Father. Tho they be done with the best intentions and the hardest efforts, if they are done without the proper specs and information, the collection of expended energies and efforts have NO real pay off. All the sincerity’s and energy spent “is in vain” meaning null and void, if it s not for the right cause at the right time. Remember, in the time of Joshua. It was the synchronized and orchestrated works of the collective, at the behest of their leader, to all shout at the same time for the walls at Jericho to crumble into dust.

If you think about when you are lost and late, if you go faster because of anxiety, you are in truth making things worse. That means when you wake up, or get straitened out with your directions, you just have to go back that much more to get back on track. It would be better off to stop and re-calibrate. We should be doing this all along our journey of faith. We do this in our dialogue with our Father through the Holy Spirit and much waiting is required.

And applied to battle, or collected efforts, if everyone is working solo, and everyone is scattered in different directions without a way to synchronize their works, how much effort is lost? How much time and materials and how many disappointments?

To compare lost efforts with a building project, does it make more sense to abandon the project and start over with a new location then to tare it down, clean up and start over? How embarrassing to have that building remain as a testimony on how NOT to do it.

Well essentially that is what the 40 years of  wilderness wanderings and meanderings were about. They were a secession of temporary projects as training exercises that the Israelite’s failed at, then written down to keep future generations (like us) from repeating the same kind of mistakes. If you remember that “The law was added to make sin exceedingly sinful “.  For even Moses before his death was only able to look at the land of promise at a distance from Mt. Nebo. But they NEVER entered or ate of the fruit of the land. Tho the fruit be huge, the giants scared them from the harvest and their inheritance.

So The Law worked, the Israelite’s became exceedingly sinful. Their failure was meant to be evident to promote a re-direct for successive generations. And it was used as a teaching tool until the change would come. But after the replacement with the Son of God called “The New Will and Testament” was established, and it has been for it is “established on better promises”.  For believers to then go back to the old ways of doing things and the old building project and work on that as if to ignore the Holy Spirit and go back to the old way of thinking? That is despicable. To reinvigorate the kingdom of the law on earth, is undeniable proof that they have cart Blanche forgotten  the real meaning of the Gospel message. Woe is them. Woe was the Last Jerusalem too. Why would a modern rendition receive an applaud from God? God would have to apologize for wiping out the last Jerusalem “till not one stone is left upon another”. We know that’s not going to happen. He knew what He was doing.

For this reason The Book of The Revelation described that Jerusalem as being spiritually Sodom and Egypt because it had the same spiritual deficits as both of those cultures, much like today.

Do you know that we were warned of a time when just such a thing would happen? That the Old Testament (testimony), being the way NOT to do it, and the “New Testimony” would be so blurred together as if they are inter-changeably related? We were warned that there would be a time of counterfeits, impostors and posers “as if possible to deceive the Elect? You cannot blend Eternal things with earthen things because that violates God’s law of “kind begat according to kind”.

Even as in the time of Moses they were told by God, “ when you build something for Me, you shall NOT use human instruments on it for when you do you have defiled it. Do NOT associate Me with such”. Our God is a Holy God. This is required of us too. We have to recognize that “we are living stones built up a habitation for God in the Spirit”, (wherever two or more are gathered in My Name” said God Almighty.

Gods building project is NOT for you to do something to habitate Him here on earth. “For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts are higher than  your thoughts”. And His Jerusalem is the one that comes down from Heaven according to Revelation 21.

The Gospel is for us to cross over and co-habitate with our Heavenly Father there. Even as Paul said, “ I plead with you by the mercies of God (in me) be reconciled to the Father. Because He made Him who knew no sin, to become our sin, in order for us to become His righteousness in Him” and accredited to us as a gift. There is our invitation and empowerment for our cross over.

God is a Holy God, and Holy means invisible, transparent, clear and pure without stain spot or blemish from this world as though He is of this world for He is not. We are His only vested interest, even as He said to the Jewish leaders who put Him on trial “you have correctly called Me a King, however my Kingdom and Kingship is not from here. For if it was I would send for legions of Angels to fight however My Kingdom is NOT from here”.

Let this sink in and if you don’t get this, please STOP, read John 3. and learn what  lesson was given to Nicodemus. If you keep reading you are likely to be more confused or defiant and build up judgment for rejecting these truths. For those who make this distinction and separate the flesh from the spirit, these are the Elect. You see, the Elect are those who are so emphatically certain about the contrasts of covenants and the opposites of the physical verse the Heavenly, so as not to mix or inter-mingle the two. Just like the parable of the old wine skins with new wine cracks and both are ruined.

This is what Paul meant when he said “when I was a child I thought like a child I spoke like a child I played like a child. When I became an adult, I put away childhood things.” He was teaching about shelving the Old Testament in his mind as being expired as should we. The old is ONLY a training manual. That is why the wilderness wanderers were called “children” some 1100+ times because they could NOT expire those notions as having Eternal counter parts available  to replace them. This is why the book of Galatians taught the difference of an Heir of the house from a servant. For the heir to receive their inheritance when they mentally make the transition. They no longer mix in with the slaves belongings  with The Heirs of Promise.

So in our day in the mind of many who call on the name of Christ are alleging themselves to the  atrocities done in the name of God in the Jerusalem of our day in the same way thinking that a modern day Jerusalem is necessary for the sake of Gods Kingdom on earth? We’ll that’s Blasphemy! Everything we’ve pointed out they overlook, as well as it’s Satanic inceptions and war against the largely unarmed as they perform their own Holocaust today to the current residence. If you remember, this is “the time of the Gentiles” for the promises given to Abraham to be crystal clear that he is the father of many nations” and again in Revelation of those before the Thrown room of God from every tribe nation and tongue. God does NOT despise humanity at large but the posers and foolish focused for the sake of a carnal rendition of Heavenly things on earth all built by man.

Flat out! If you are expecting on earth a kingdom for God in the fashion of the Old Testament descriptive’s using old Testament nomenclature? You are believing “The Lie if possible to deceive the Elect” because Christ’s works expired and fulfilled all of what the old foretold.

For us the Elect, our testimony is sure that when Christ at His inquisition being interrogated by the Jews who were breathing fire at the idea that that Christ would be their king. And with Christs own admission told them under trial, “you have said correctly that I am King, however My Kingdom is NOT of this age, if it were I would send legions and they would fight.

Even so today, the Christ and Son of God takes NO pleasure in the project on earth in our day called Jerusalem and those who are waiting for a man name Jesus to walk their streets in admiration of the buildings they have put up, thinking in doing so, that He would come back. Have they never read where He said “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more!” Instead of protecting the Jerusalem today, there is a big X on it meaning; unleash the wrath of God here, when the lie is complete.

For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? To this we say that today they are gathering for the wrong event.

Unless God builds the house, They who labor labor in vain who build it; So in vain they build and solicit and brag and expound and deceive. However for the Elect, they are our food for our cause. Why? Because “Wherever the carcass is, there the Eagles shall be gathered”. (Matthew 24.28) Our Heavenly Father has prepared this meal for us saying (Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.)

This is what qualifies the Elect, because we know.

We know that “Those who are born again can see Gods Kingdom” because we do and it is Heavenly., And those who are born from above can enter Gods Kingdom”.  It is from this view things come in crystal clear.

(22 But ye have come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to His Christ the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaks . For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him who calls us to Heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet one last time I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we are receiving a kingdom which CANNOT be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire…

We have been enabled by having a clear rendition of scripture at the behest and the directive of Gods Holy Spirit to discern between good and evil, Heavenly from Earth, Eternal from the temporary and the purposeful verses verses the detours for the disingenuous. We have been able to correctly divide the word of truth and extract the relevant from the obscure and to apply their efforts to what is important to our Heavenly Father. And like the prodigious son, get back on track, to go to the right place with the right focus with the right tools for the right project.

DOING THE WORKS OF THE FATHER

The person called Jesus at a young age, having been unknowingly  left behind. When his parents had realized he was not with them, they headed back to Jerusalem. It was there that they found Jesus with the leaders of that place and time and when his carnal parents asked Him what He was doing He replies “don’t you know I must be about My (Heavenly) Fathers business. Which was to restore to us the way home.

Even as the lost and wayward old Testament leaders were seen in their travels going here and there. Of “putting up and taking down” the articles that defined their faith. If you remember that the word faith is a blanket term referring to “that which is invisible” (Hebrews 11). As they were instructed that “you saw no form” Deuteronomy 4. Showing them where the building was really suppose to take place. But this they forgot and got lost in the patterns over and over as again in these Last Days.

At the inception of The New Covenant, and right before Christ put off the flesh to “return to the Father” and said “you will see Me again no more”. John 14. He gave certain warning for them to NOT get distracted. He told them “many will come in My name (and or titles like mine) saying I am he and deceive many”. They will say “look here and look there’ and in each case they would be wrong “for as the lightning flashes from the east to the west so will the coming of the son of man be???

He warned of times of prosperity and confusion, that it would be like in the days of Noah and as in the days of Lot. 2 Peter describes it like this saying

Meaning NONE of what they are hoping for and investing in is of any REAL importance.

And again from See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I [a]shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND

ENSURING OUR COMPLETION AND OUR CROSSOVER. The coming persecution.

There is a promise in scripture that “We are a new creation in Christ. That old things HAVE past away, behold all things HAVE become new and all things ARE from God.” (2 Corinthians 5.17-18)

However we must understand that the “all things are from God” are NOT of this age of “time and matter” but something that pre-existed, before God ever said “let there be light” by which He jump started creation, as something different from the Creator.

We are not saying that God doesn’t bless with tangible things, but the things of this age have an expiration date. That is why we are to “cross over” speaking of our Red Sea, Jordan River or Baptism, all of which signify the same thing of acquiring the invisible.

The point is that “Gods” things remain isolated and away from the infections, sickness, disease, sorrow, death, murder and the destruction’s of “this age”, of which He is our sanctification which protects us from mixing with the ills of “creation” of the parts that we keep in the spirit of our minds, the place of our re-newal that preserves us , sanctifies us and sets us apart even while we are here.

Creation is an enclosed and controlled environment. Creation has purposes and one of them is to filter out, to trap, to contain and hold spell bound all the evil powers in their attempts to steal control over all of humanity and Gods creation. This is their trap. Yes their lust and quest for this is their snare, their blinders and their occupation, their pre- occupation. They are occupied with creation and why scripture calls Satan “the god of this age” as the result of “The Fall” and default ruler after Adam and Eve were tricked away from their godliness and had it stolen from them.

Similarly the evil powers banded together to abscond with creation and left their spots open in the Heavens for our retrieval. They receive what is due for those who have fallen. We know this because scripture says  that “Babylon has fallen and become a snare and a trap for every foul and unclean bird” referring to the fallen angels. And because they are so set in their lust for the things of the earth that were given to mankind, they lost sight of what they had in the Heavens whereby they left a vacancy and a vacuum open for our retrieval, through our ascension.

For this reason we are called “pilgrims and sojourners”. This is not our home because of our cross over and departure from here is to advance to another NOW while “today is the day of salvation”. Meaning Gods stuff restored to us. And His things are Heavenly.

We call this “The Kingdom of God at hand”, because it is within grasp not physically but in our understanding. Through which we are accounted now as being “seated in the heavens “in Christ” far above all principalities”, and being “in the world but not of the world”, of we become spectators, watchers and holy ones because we have a different set of principles and heritage, because we have a restitution to “That which is from the beginning” meaning before the first tic on the clock of time associated with creation.

We who’ve done this are in a secure place called “sanctification“ by implementing all of the safety features outlined in scripture, and having them in effect and operational today. “For today is the day of (the completion of) Salvation”, “if you are able to hear My voice” says The Almighty God. This is “The Gospel once and for all delivered to the Saints” and the Elect. And the completion for this is for NOW. Let no one deceive you because a Will and Testament is in effect after the death of the testator, who for us is Christ. And in that Trust, there is nothing in it to indicate that you need to wait to exercise your right to take possession. How remarkable is that?

Our sanctification and our protection we get from God is also referred to as “Heavenly Jerusalem” because “nothing unclean shall enter Her”? This is our degree of safety. We who are “born again” are “born from above” (Read John 3). We are encapsulated, preserved and protected by Gods word and Holy Spirit in this fashion. This is what scriptural sanctification is. And a fortuitous strong tower and safe haven for all who call upon “The Great I Am” with a pure heart. (untainted by the world and all it’s problems).

The truth be told, creation is the trap because in it will bring forth the contrast and the anti-types and anti-christs being earthen things to mimic things Eternal. It is to imitate the old law culture and why the Israelite’s were called children some 1200 times in The Old Testament, because they just could NOT put away their toys to cross over in their understanding to make the connection. Even as Paul said. “When I was a child, I thought like a child, when I became (past tense) a man I put away (old covenant look a likes) childhood toys”. He was speaking a parable about his own crossover, as we all must do on our own as well (1 Corinthians 15)

Similarly with Moses who spoke to the Israelite’s (not the jews) saying And the God spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but SAW NO FORM; you only heard a voice. And “Take careful heed to yourselves, for YOU SAW NO FORM when the I AM spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire”. (Deuteronomy 4).

It was here that they came face to face with the invisible, at least to carnal perceptions. However we have His Spirit to see what human eyes cannot.

This teaches us that our realization of God and His Eternal things gifted to us DO NOT TAKE ON A FORM TO PLEASE OUR CARNAL SENSES. This is why Christ appeared in contrast to a King as a pauper on a donkey, to expire in purpose that (inverted) Jerusalem in that (inverted) Israel on Earth once and for all! As prophecied of in (Genesis 49.1 and 8-10) It was NOT His intention to Glorify the toy model of Jerusalem on Earth, for them to mistake it for His home. It was a teaching toy, a silly play thing. That’s it.

This is why Christ said that “all the law and the prophets were (only) till John. Now the Kingdom is preached and all are entering”. The toys (Old Testament culture) were taken away on purpose as idolistic and adulterous for those who just can’t let go. How many righteous the Law culture produce? “There were none righteous, no not one!” (Romans 3)

OUR APPLICATION

So you can NOW see what kind of mess we are in today with similar factions as back then. Fortunately for us the call is still “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” Where they just could NOT make the correlation to cross over into the carnally invisible as being more relevant than the toys they were playing with like now.

As our Heavenly Father said “For My thoughts are not like your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.’

So don’t expect His things to look like your things made with hammers and chisels except to be used by way of contrasts for training purposes ONLY as we just explained. They are shelved and used for discovery purposes ONLY. That is what expired means.

This is why we were warned of one who would do just that. That there would be a re-make of the physical rendition of what the people were expecting in a carnal way, to make the distinction crystal clear for those who are called to “come up “hither”, to disassociate from the copies on Earth that are adulterous.

THE EXPIRED THINGS OF GOD HAVE COUNTERFEITS

The end times are described as a time when people expect that God will occupy creation by way of what they call “a second coming” which is a phrase that is not found once in scripture. This is designed by God to separate those who reject God who calls us to Himself NOW. But these just love the counterfeits and would just a soon wait for another coming Jesus (Hezuez). That one scripture warns us to dis-associate from as seen here.

 “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all (visual) power, signs, (imitations) and Lying wonders, with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order to be be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe that lie.

The lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

Like many who had gone before them, these  just could not comprehend that Gods things CANNOT BE MANIFEST from there original Eternal composition of Spirit and Truth to appease your carnal senses “for no one can see God and live” (Exodus 33.20) But we see Him in a different way and have Eternal Life now.

This is why we were instructed from the beginning to remember that they “SAW NO FORM” and we shouldn’t expect to either. Or God has to apologize and make reparations to the Old Jerusalem for erasing their existence.

And that carnal expectation is the demise to many today. God is going to give it to them because they will not let go of the old to be renewed in their thinking because “the old wine is better”. They will get their “supposed” second coming one in a physical way in a bastardized rendition of Jerusalem as  a sign of the end. “With all lying signs and wonders”?

But We are not giving in to that because we heed the warning, and we know the “Heavenly Jerusalem, the Mother of us all” “that comes down of God from Heaven”.

And as creation is a trap for Satan and his minions, they are the ones to lead the charge and push for a visual “Kingdom of God on Earth”. They do this because they are the unlucky recipients that get smoked through their judgment. For you see, they ALL get caught in it together because they took an oath together that “by mutual imprecations that they would do this together”. (Enoch 6) And if you think about it, who transforms in this End Times gospel? We do and not them, because we know that God the Father and His Son “are seated waiting for their enemies to become their footstool”. (Hebrews 1)

But in their end times scenario, Gods Son must transform into a human again, instead of them being re-newed by faith to be like Him, showing us a full inversion of the gospel message and an un-doing of personal transformation that we are responsible to participate in to be the recipients of “The Kingdom of God at hand”. Meaning it was within reach to the minds of faith in their day and ours too. But because they cannot see it, they reject it and get the counterfeit, if they persist in their endeavor.

If you are understanding this and you need to make a change, you can come clean right now between you and the Father who is also “At Hand” right now by denouncing your associating with the idea that God must become a Jesus man again to save as though the cross was insufficient to do so. Does that make sense?

Every thing God has given us is a fruit of that cross and God will not glorify another Savior or saving event or rescue believers as second coming seekers suppose. THAT IS NOT THE GOSPEL. It is “those who endure to the end will be saved”….

The cross was and is and still remains our crossover point to Eternity. This is the Eternal Life offered to us from the Gospel of The Cross, even as Moses was instructed to lift up the wood with the dead snake on it to provide the victory, so too we lift up the Christ, who has expired that title as a role fulfilled to ware “The Name no man can say”.

God will give them up to themselves to accomplish the desire of their own heart, a Jerusalem on earth in waiting for another Jesus. So these are those who reject the God of creation and His Son in Their original construct of ‘Spirit and Truth‘. If you remember it is written of Christ, that “He became flesh and dwelled among us”, but that is not originally who He is. He put on the flesh to carnally interact with humanity much like a scuba diver would put on the gear necessary to interact with ocean creatures, but a sea creature he is not

THOSE WHO HAD COME OUT OF THE LIES

We see with Noah, with Lot and his family and with believers described in The Book of The Revelation, the bugle call has blasted to flea, to leave and to depart. To come out of her My people because Babylon the world system connected by a www. eye in the sky, worldwide web, with sensors on everything, your name, address, phone numbers, passwords, bank and health records, all of which you have submitted to with terms and conditions and monthly payments. They say “the borrower serves the lender”. In this way many have sold themselves with liens, contracts and terms and conditions on everything when scripture tells us “let your yes be yes and your no be no for whatever more comes from this is from the wicked one”. Why? Because terms and conditions are “legal and binding”. You become restricted, even as it is says again form Genesis 49 ¹⁴ “Issachar is a strong donkey, Lying down between two burdens (choices);
¹⁵ He saw that rest was good,
And that the land was pleasant;
He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden,
And became a band of slaves.

This is how “Babylon has fallen (and inverted in purpose) and become a snare and a trap for every foul bird and unclean thing (because they are lusting for human souls to be subdued so they may cohabit-ate in human bodies, also called demon possession. Paul spoke of these in 2 Timothy 2. 26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

For it is Babylon that takes on the contrasts of the eternal in a way to appease the carnal infatuations of those who have not been truly born again because John 3 says that “Only those born again can see the kingdom of God.” And “only those born of water and the Spirit, can enter the kingdom of God. Where does this put you??

Think of the symbology of your baptism here, because if you are not born again “in Christ” you may be subject to Gods wrath by an unnecessary association that you can still be saved from while you can still hear and repent.

Mystery Babylon’s destruction will be “in the blink of an eye” meaning faster then humanly noticeable. That before they fulfill their dream, they will come into full contact with the strong hand of God Who will smite them with a flaming damnation from the Almighty God who has been toying with them (the demonic entities). Their expected but unrealized joy will vaporize like a puff of smoke. (2 Peter 3.10-13).

CREATION WILL NOT GLORIFY ANOTHER!

And this is the view right before it happens ““Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!

Then the judgment will be 8 “Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who [a]judges her.”

NOW FOR THOSE WHO ARE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE AND “THE IN-BETWEEN”

This is why Christ spoke to the woman the well, of which she said erroneously that “you jews say in Jerusalem is the (preferred) place where God ought to be worshiped. And Christ replied “woman I tell you in truth that the time that is coming (of which you speak) is ALREADY HERE when you shall Not worship the Father in (this or that) Jerusalem (on earth, back then or now) but in spirit and truth for the Father seeks such”. (John 4.19-26)

So because of that, that Jerusalem was wiped out “till not one brick shall be left upon another” were the words of Christ (Matthew 24.1-2). And He is the word of God, so be it. Amen.

Where does that put those who again think that TODAY is NOT the day for salvation. Why? Because they are expecting another coming Jesus to another brick built Jerusalem with supposed replications of the important features for more animal sacrifices? To return to the old Covenant as a way of doing things on earth? As though that would make their Jesus happy.

That concept totally defies every quote from scripture new and old as we’ve presented such from the new and the old to expose this fallacy. This is an act of scriptural defiance that calls down the wrath of God from Heaven, and the clock is ticking.

And we were warned; when the son of God comes will He really find faith on earth? He gave some specifics related to the fruition of the harvest, then the end shall come.

Woe is them! It shall not be the place of God’s blessing. It is the cursed defiance and object of the scorn of Eternity for mimicking eternal things to detain humanity from crossing ovet. To keep them from rising up to the call from the Holy Spirit to “come up hither”. Where? To the Jerusalem that comes down from God from Heaven, and seen actively open as described by Paul in Galatians 4.26 as “The Mother of us all” who are now born again, being the original the old was only to teach about with toys.

Let The Original in Heaven be your joy, be your love and aspiration and not the blasphemous rendition built with the bricks of men. Had that of worked, there would have been no need for A New Will And Testament, through the blood of the expiration and fulfillment of ALL sacrifices because of The Son of God, founded with eternal blood and eternal provisions, can never have competition.

For this reason we worship in the True Jerusalem that comes down from God, of God of timeless elements being “the Mother of the all” and The Kingdom Prepared since the foundation of the world” for those who have known Her in Spirit and in Truth, as the woman at the well in Samaria was instructed to do while she was praising a different Jerusalem. The one who had fallen in purpose time after time.

But Her expiration had come because when Christ proclaimed, and what He instructed the disciples to proclaim, was that “The Kingdom of God is at hand”. That is right, remember “the time that (you think) is coming is already here” as we already referenced. That the Jerusalem on earths change had already come. Where? “In spirit and truth” and the one that “comes down from God in Heaven”. This one cannot be compared to brick and mortar. And if you remember, they were instructed NOT to build with hen stone” alone with the Ten Commandments. So what is the confusion?

This is the purpose and the encapsulation of “all the promises to us from God. They are all eternal, they are all “spirit and truth. You see if we have pursued Christ and put Him on as is scripture commands, then you have nothing to worry about as the powers of this age try their last ditch effort to detain you from your inheritance by you trying to preserve yours here. But those who seek to save their lives will loose it and those who loose it for Christs sake, gain it for Eternity.

With all the news and fake news and big bad boogie men of the day that try to keep you distracted through their various forms of fear to buy their products, close your ears to them. They cannot save you or your things.

So we say, Let them have it! We are not saying kill yourself, for you forever live if you live by the Spirit. What we are saying about them, is that their words, warnings and threats of persecutions have no power over us because the Son of God purchased our deaths with “the blood of the Eternal Spirit, be they slow or fast, so they belong to Him. That is why we say when Christ at the cross asked the Father why He forsook Him”? He didn’t. Christ nearly  just tasted death for us so that we wouldn’t have to. He grounded out our agony and pain through His cries at His cross and only pleasing sacrifice to end all others.

Oh the blessedness of such a massive gift of eternal life. And we know that Christ, after paying for the death of all mankind, He walked away unscathed because of the empty tomb, the grave cloths lying on the ground and the head cloth folded and set on a ledge (signifying a scroll on a shelf). Dead people can not do that. And because someone with eternal life did do that, it was sufficient. We know this because if you added together all the years of all the people who have lived and died there is a number and that number which is in the billions, is far short of eternal. But the point here is that not only did Christ take on Himself the count of dead years, He also took to Himself all the pain and agony associated with it, or else the penalty of death in fact has not been paid. But we have come to know and believe that when The Christ on The Cross let out His agonizing, screeching, blood curdling cry’s, they were not His but the collection of ours that He experienced their to set us free from that burden and fear.

That is the Testimony of the cry’s at the cross that He truly bore our sins AND the consequences thereof.

That is why the Apostle Paul could convey to us (if you are willing to receive it) that “Romans 8

That’s the size of the gift of God in His Son. “For God sent His Son into the world nit to condemn it, but to save it. (John 3.17, the verse just after 3.16 that is so heavily popularized)

This should encourage all of us to seriously re-discover the gift of eternal life given by the sacrifice of Gods Son. Had Christ not been eternal and from the Father, He would not have prevailed, but this was all part of the plan from the beginning and why even Adam and Eve experienced a sacrifice showing us that they understood, that the price for life was death, so now you can disenfranchise from the carnal fears and human sufferings because He will not allow you to be subject to more than you can handle.

The fact of the matter is, every hope, every belonging and every entanglement you have with this age, and primarily with the gods of this age, must be put off because any thing you hold on to here is going to weigh heavy on your soul and make it hard for your departure. If you have put off the works of the flesh of self and self preservation, your reservation in the Kingdom is secured. Primarily because there is no mixture of substance you have an easy departure. Christ said “the god of this age that’s coming, has nothing in Me.” So much so in fact that there is nothing left to talk about.

You see every generation had to go through a series of tests to disenfranchise themselves from this age.

“Mark 10.9 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother [a]or wife or children or [b]lands, for My sake and the gospel’s.

We can start with Noah and the Ark. That family was so withdrawn from that world that they were on the Ark with the doors closed before the first drop of rain fell.

And of Lot and his family with Sodom and Gomorrah. They had Angels tugging them until the last moment. And even then they settled for the low country and would only go up so far. This was their snare. Remember Lots wife? She failed to let go of the old and was turned into a statue of salt for all successive generations to see how NOT to do it.

It was when God spoke through Moses to the Israelite’s that He purposed to them “The Passover”. We see this where the angel of death past over them because of the blood applied to their doorways. Then they were instructed to cross over the Red Sea to start to learn to live in the promises God gave them.

Like us who are “in Christ “ is to mean that we are in Gods promises because the Son of God the Christ is the promise land because the Father had said in Exodus 4 that “Israel is Gods first born”. And God the Father was not referring to a land called Israel or a people. Those were just pictures. And because Gods only begotten is portrayed in that way, you can now see that to be in Christ” is to be in Gods Only Begotten Son, and to be in The Son is to be “in Christ”. So then those who are “in Christ” are in “the promise land” and the place here the promises are activated and realized is “in Christ”, because “if anyone is “in Christ” they are a new creation. That old things have past away. Behold! All things become new and all things are from God”. It is to us who are in Christ “ that are in the promise land where all things new are realized.

All these descriptions define the invisible spiritual realities, picture in a physical way of what we are to do in the spirit, in an invisible way. Simply put, we need to put off the things of this age that make us look like anyone else. If you didn’t have the promises from God, you would have to find other providers, provisions and protections. These differences distinguish us from the rest of the world.

“We are in the world, but not of (like) the world”.

Adam and Eve from the beginning being made in the image of God, was because they had sovereignty over choices but had not made any yet. This is what it means that they were naked. They had no coverage’s or protections that they put on or subscribed to yet so they could see. It wasn’t until they were challenged with an insult and a threat that they saw that they hadn’t made a choice yet. They had not chosen a coverage, provision or protection and felt naked and ashamed.

As the serpent said “has God really said?” Then looking at their naked and bare exterior they could not defend themselves against the accusation. But for those of us who have, “the accuser of the brethren have been cast down“.

You see us made in Gods image infers a will to exercise sovereignty and sovereignty is understood by choices and choices are seen by selections and expressions. These can be words from opinions, or preferences as seen by what they wear, eat, participate in and what they believe. This way they cloth their minds.

We generally think that being naked means you have no external clothes on. However we are instructed to be clothed and renewed in the spirit of the mind showing us where we were truly naked. This is how we put on Christ. And because Christ is the word of God, we can understand that for us to “be clothed in Christ” we must adopt and put on the very words He has spoken as our choices, our products and personal likeness of God by our selecting and choosing. This is why we are told “choose you this day“.

If one can choose they can be an individual and self made in a sense that they chose it and adopted it as their own on their own. This is what makes one a Christian and Christlike. Not just because you believe what you are told by your leaders, Christian leaders or other wise. This is why we are to “test all things, hold on to what is good”“. Essentially. It was the Berean’s“who “tested these things to see if they are true”. Not they are true in the sense that you can make water into wine, But that the silent witness we call the Holy Spirit confirms it for you. The Holy Spirit is the only one qualified to help you choose correctly. Even as 1 John says that “you have an Unction from the Holy One and you know all things (as all professing believes do). Not that you know all things all the time, but you know what you need to know when you need to know it”. Yes we have this trust in our Heavenly Father who has us completely covered

However today we have collective consciences that coalesce around figure heads, leaders and their party’s and constituents for mass mobilization, one against another. This essentially works off the science that there is strength in numbers, but underneath is really nothing more than the Hegelian dialectic of controlling the masses between two polarized belief systems. This puts those who otherwise neglect their obligation to God to be subservient to another type, being re-purposed to be part of a collective conscientiousness. This is really what every political party is. That is what the word “party” means, to be a part of.

Yes, everything is a play off words, and if people knew more accurately the meaning of the of words they align to , they would see how they have shackled themselves from becoming their own self sovereign as God has so freely given each one of us.

There are consequences to what we do and  what we don’t do, to what we accept to what we allow. And to accept as your own another’s set of beliefs, may actually hold you in contempt to God and His gift to you of your own individual sovereignty. In so doing that collection of minds, consciences and souls will be judged as such, as one body, be it a body of beliefs or a political body. A body infers that you are one and  inseparable.

Essentially that is what the body of Christ is. However with Him we don’t loose our personal sovereignty, we gain it. It is the gift of godliness according to the gospel. A banded together collection of co-sovereigns, of those of us you have retrieved what Adam lost on our behalf, to put that off and to put on the gift of godliness  that Christ retrieved for us for the taking. But that is your choice. We do this one revelation at a time until we are complete in Him who is head over all principalities and powers. A collection of co-sovereigns, of those who have taken all things to the counsel of God for a witness and affirm that God is good, God is supreme, and that God is right. This is what righteousness means. And it was not so much that we submitted, we did that too but not by mandate. It was as we tried things the pundits  of the day had said, realizing it changes everyday we looked for a more sure source.

So when it comes to choosing the best between two sides in a political party, each having their own (bad) news agencies, to tow the part line to “save the world”? Scripture says that Christ already did that (John 3.17)

This is The Good News, the Gospel. The Gospel means “Good News”.

Remember when Christ was on trial and they asked Him “so you are a king?’ Christ replied “truly I am King however My kingdom is not from here or I would send angels to fight”. Showing us that there is a demarcation line between worldly things and Heavenly. And if you understood the sovereignty and completeness of God, His Son and their works, that they are seated Eternal in the Heavens waiting for their enemies to become their footstool”. Meaning they are not getting back up to fight. That the end of creation and the victory is assured. It is because Gods words in the garden come true, and the the harvest is over when there are the full number of co-sovereigns called the Elect have been harvested. We know this because scripture says that “Behold the Lord cometh in His saints to be glorified on the earth”. This is referring to those who have the gospel completed in themselves of those who are dressed like Christ, empowered like Him and look like Him.

Yes, Yes we know, you are thinking; blasphemy. But what if we showed you some one who was mistaken as being the Christ of the Cross, and this was done by someone who knew Him best among the disciples, now grown up to be New Testament prophets and bearers of the gospel, who was also seen at the last supper with his head in the bosom of our Savior and model.

It was John who new Christ best, however after John had collected everything for “The Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ” And in Johns final account it goes like this; Now I, John, [a]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. [b]For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

So when Christ comes to be glorified in His saints” does this surprise you? Does this offend you? Can you receive it too? Are we not called “The Body of Christ”? “Know ye not that we shall judge angels”? Isn’t the purpose of the gospel given for us to press in to attain to all the fulness of God”? Till we all (the full number) attain to the fulness of Christ”?

Maybe it is because you have your priorities mixed up because if the Elect do not come into fruition, if the wheat and the tares do not grow up together, then the purpose of creation and the purpose of the gospel has failed and we have been found liars and false witnesses, But that is not gonna happen.

The gospel of God is at hand for those willing to receive it, but then it will be taken away in that fashion. Like with Noah the Ark was sealed and the storms intensified. We beg you please; enter into the Ark of the Covenant, with is Gods covenant and testament with us. Then learn to “enter your chambers my people”. Like the Ark of the Covenant is to be safely clothed in Christ, so to is our chamber, which is also The Wedding Chamber where we are all one in Christ and see the things here that are eternally ours simply because He said so. Who? God and His Son whom we call Word and His Blessed Holy Spirit, The Comforter, other parent so that we are not left orphans, the one who leads us into all truth, the one whom Christ said  that would take what is mine and make it pallet able for you.

THE LAW OF CONTRASTS.

The law of contrasts is the first principle of Creation. In the beginning was God. For God to make something was to mean that something would exist other than God. Because God is complete in Himself, there were no gaps or spaces, no vacancies or blank spots just a fullness. Good thing the gospel promises that “of His fullness we have been given” and “you are complete in Him” if you have learned to accept the gift.

For God to make something else, He would have to make it outside of Himself and other than Himself. We don’t mean beyond Him or away from His control “for in Him we live and move and have our being“. When we say outside Himself, we mean of something other than what He is. He “who was and is and is to come” does not and cannot change. For God who is Eternal, immortal, invisible the only wise God” would have to make something that He was not, and this would require contrasts for the Elect to understand for comparative purposes. And if God made another something with His attributes, how would we be able to tell the difference.

For this reason for mankind whom He had placed His likeness on, being a similarity but in a temporary way (being a first contrast was for us to experience images of similarities with opposites. Like Heaven verses Earth, day and night, physical verses the Invisible. And like scripture says “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” These are just examples of contrasts starting with the visible in contrast with the Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, Almighty God.

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” And He has made an allowance for contrasts for us to more clearly understand more about Him. Knowing the enticements  this would face,  for God had already predetermined the plan and His outcome in a controlled enviroment, taking into consideration all of the variables and possibilities. The outcome was insured and on the other side of human understanding we see His harvest’s and purposes are crystal clear.

Like a big chess tournament, God played out every scenario from all the various players throughout time, how they would play each other, knowing exactly what each one would do all the way up to the final two, the out come was all for-ordained. The placement of each contestant was predetermined. That is why we are called “the foreordained of God” and the Elect as those who were pre-selected.

Or as 1 Peter 2.9 put it “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness (of our age) into His marvelous light; (from another).

Here he uses the contrast of darkness verse His marvelous Light. And even those who had been truncated or held back from maturity by evil schemes of impostors and impersonators, they too have a place with God and eternal value with the Father. And “Let everyone who names the name of [a]Christ depart from iniquity.” So you know you have a responsibility.

And just as there were those in the time of Noah’s flood who had not acquired as evidenced by the few who were in the Ark, so too in the time Of Christ’s visit into Hades after His stent at the cross, He went into the under world as First Peter says “For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead (and in holding) that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit”. So don’t discredit Gods grace and kindness by your religious predisposition of judgment, of who is deserving and who is not.

This is why during the six days of creating, after each day God concluded saying “it was good”. But at the end of the 6th day and with His final assessment He did not say “it is good”. Instead He said “it is good VERY good” as if if to double stamp it. His success and outcome was assured and creation will not Glorify another, What God desired in the beginning happens to a T.

And there are those who are judged severely and will get exactly what they deserve ( Romans 2.2-11). Likewise for our rewards in the faith, eternal things are a pretty good outcome considering what anyone would really deserve on their own merit, is eternal death. This is why “in is from faith to faith”. your physical contribution is nil. For Known to God from eternity are all His works.”

If you still think God has something to answer you as though He is small, Read the rebuke from God in Job 38

In the grand scheme of things, It was God who discussed this plan with those who were His, who likely had a say so and agreed on this. Yes for it is written that “the sons of God shouted for joy” with the first bright burst when it was said “Let there be light”. The offspring of God knew that their time for waking up had come for their full realization of who they are by way of contrasts, and in a sense they said “let the games begin”.

If you haven’t had that realization or revelation yet, don’t let that detour you. It may be one of the last ones you get as becoming a saint. For our waking up realizations and revelations (same things) are many, providing you stay awake and alert and “pressing in”.

To help you understand a little more of this “for-ordination” we draw upon the lesson of The Prodigal Son who left home, who also had a brother who stayed home to watch from his Fathers Estate.

First off the term prodigal is not a term you want to be described with.

If you remember the Prodigal son was the one who left his Father, the business, the family and the household primarily because he really did not understand what he had and he wanted to go out on his own. However, after taken on a job to obtain shelter, covering and sustenance, he found himself eating slop with the pigs. And after coming to himself, he recollected all that he had at home and scripture says ”But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

So he turned (that is what repent means, to turn and do an about face). And having done so, he saw his Father a long way off coming to him to receive him, as if to pick him up and help him back to his Fathers house. It is you that has to have this revelation applied to yourself, you can look at our Heavenly Father and see His likeness and learn to call it your own.

THE FATHERS IMAGE IN HIS CHILDREN

Every Father is most proud when they see their best parts in their children. And we say to you that it is with Him for the taking. Like we quote from Ephesians 1; having predestined us to adoption as His offspring by Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will” And “ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for us to be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace by which He [a]made us accepted in the Beloved.

In truth both sons had the same opportunity to experience the contrast from what they had from the beginning. It was the prodigal who lived prodigiously, meaning recklessly and carelessly until he had his own epiphany (something the other son would never have). He had a revelation from Gods alternate reality that made him fully realize to be able to more fully appreciate what he had with his father from the beginning.

The son who stayed home didn’t learn a thing, but the one who did leave can now experience “life more abundantly” by viewing it with the contrast in mind. This is the lesson of the Prodigal son, his prodigious (meaning wasteful) living and his brother who only seemed to be more hardened and unappreciative of what he had in a form of self righteousness.

Now we can look at our sojourning here in creation with a different view and utilize our time here more effectively, not by prodigious (wasteful) living, but by understanding the contrast. It is to put off the things of this age, to confess away the old to profess to be true now, our new form of existence to be found back home, away from the temporary because “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit in-corruption, but the re-spirited mind of faith owns and accepts the things the Father has given them. These are the Elect.

So we learn to see ourselves with the Father in His Eternal age as decreed in Ephesians 1. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, He made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ,  that in the ages to come (meaning from that day forward) He would show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us (who are) in Christ.”

Just in case you think you’ve been disqualified by something you offend God with, He has given you this return pass Free for the taking. This is the Gospel, a word that means; good news. It is a gift you cannot earn, nor can you buy it or sell it or see it with carnal eyes. “For eye has not seen nor ear heard the things that the Father has for those who love Him, but He has revealed them to us by His Spirit. Yes even the deep things of God”. Does this sound like He has withheld anything from us?

If you remember in the time of Christ, He found fault with the religious zealots of the day, but was content to be with those who did not fit in. Why? Because we each have to get there through our own variations of contrasts. And scriptures say that Christ came not for the righteous, but to seek and safe those who are lost (or stuck in the temporary).  And “Has God not chosen the poor of this world as rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

Also keep in mind that the Law was added to make sin exceedingly sinful (Romans 7.13). So hopefully you DON,T want to be counted with the prodigals grumpy brother, or worse with the religious zealots who were call “brood of vipers, sons of satan and white washed sculptures full of dead mans bones for whom the cells of Hell are reserved.

THE RELIGIOUS MIND STUCK IN THE OLD

It was The Christ who spoke of wine as a comparison of contrasts, as there are contrasts in the Testaments and Covenants, Old verses New. We see this with Fasting where Christ was asked “Why do we and the Pharisees fast [a]often, but Your disciples do not fast?” Showing us He started doing a new thing. We see this again with the parable of the sowing new clothing with old. “No one puts a piece of un-shrunk cloth on an old garment; for [a]the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.”

And again with wine. “Nor do they put new wine into old wine-skins, or else the wine-skins [a]break, the wine is spilled, and the wine skins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wine skins, and both are preserved.” showing us the contrasts of covenants.

Galatians lesson goes here

Each one of these were given to show the contrasts between the Old Testament Mosaic Law of “thou shalt NOT’s, verses the The New Will and Testament in force since the cross. and the attempted murder of an eternal being. And like all Will and Testaments associated with a death. Not like the old with Testament with the blood of bulls and goats. The new was established with an Eternal one whose blood dripping from the crown of thorns and out of His side and off of His fingers and toes, effectually providing a cleaning of sin to the earth below and all it’s inhabitants. The price now paid, the path now paved. So that “to as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become His children, even to those who simply believed in His name!”

In reality all one has to do, is to do what the prodigal son did. He turned and that is what repent means. And as a result you can continue researching The Will And Testament, given to you to realize who you are, different from who you were. Your change has come. This is the gospel.

And the most important first break for you to do is to separate from being religious by trying to appease an angry Lord, for that is what the old mandated with the “you shalt NOT’s” indicating that if you don’t, beware! That was the Old Covenant.

However we’ve learned “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”

That because there was a death covenant in force, that the law was added to make sin exceedingly sinful, that they were all perpetual sinners confessing all the time and just could not get up. “Rise up and walk proud and erect because the high price was “paid in full”. The account that recons (reconciles) sin is closed, and blessed are the angels who see the Fathers face in these little ones who’ve learned to do this. We are in perpetual state of righteous by the same One who said “Let there be light”, and there was no contention or contenders. For this reason scripture Little children, let no one deceive you. Those who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. ” The religious mind cannot wrap itself around that scripture from 1 John 3.7

As always, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.

TALENTS, EACH ONE ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN ABILITY.

The word “Talents” today refers to personal abilities to perform or do a task. God has made each person in their special contribution to the whole. You may ask what is a whole? It is the sum of the components to make a whole. The whole could be all the mechanisms for a motor, a machine of any sort with specific abilities.

You may hear the term in sports or industry that a person is a machine. They are able to perform. Meaning that there is a noticeable, measurable effect form effort.

in terms of society, we have many mechanisms. That we have sectors and subdivisions. This broken down into talents anymore however unfortunate for us, has blurred the definition, objective and purpose for a talent because people do tremendous tasks by pushing buttons. So we are not talking about that.

The whole idea of talents even today means abilities and more so, special abilities that are unique to a specific person, or persons unique abilities to a trade. It is called a “trade” because with a trade people can do a trade or exchange for for goods and services.

But you see money has not always been the “medium” used for the trading of goods and services and the reason scripture uses the word “Talents” as a payment to render for others goods and services.

We have an example in from Matthew 25. 14-29, of a rich man “who distributed his goods to his servants” for them to multiply their talents and upon his return he commended them for increasing his product.

The point here is that the word “talent” today remains the same. It refers to a purposeful use and contribution to the fabric of families, business, communities and societies as a whole. The term money just became a means of trade. And it starting with scribbling on paper as a form of keeping track (book Keeping). But in the beginning the note itself was only a reminder but otherwise worthless. In all truth, the only reason money today has any more value than the notes back in the day, is because people believe it is so. but back to our topic of talents and contributions, because the world would be a whole lot better if we traded our talents locally without all the tools and instruments of the day.

With that being said we ask, what is a healthy Biblical perspective of a healthy community system? Because even the Biblical instructions spoke of talents and trade in terms of abilities and NOT cash.

Christ said “Money is the root of all evil” and “you cannot serve God and Mammon” because they are competing objectives. The purpose of talents is for people to contribute to the whole based upon their strengths and likenesses. Meaning they like to do a trade because they are good at it and not just because  they can make a lot of money.

Another element that should be part of community and society is continued personal development, that one may grow “each according to their ability, desire and effort. Keeping in mind that we are all in a process of change, and the reason our Heavenly Father has given us this time frame. Ultimately this carnal experience will come to a close, and what you have acquired in personal development and acquiring relationships is the only things you get to keep.

Remember the words of Peter? Your money perishes with you” because they thought the gift of God could be bought with money and Mammon the God of this age. Perishes with you indicates that whatever you have aquired subjectively on this side for dishonest gain, will likely catch on fire a flurry of regrets in your soul.

The moral of this story is that we are to build community by assembling people first. Even as Christ said that “we are living stones built together a habitation of God in the Spirit”. And Gods currency is love first because “all the law and the prophets rest on two things. You shall love God with all your heart, mind and soul. And you should love your neighbor as yourself. Whoever does these things fulfills all the laws of God, Old Testament and New Testament.

So practically speaking, when building with people, be it for family, community, business and such, you must use these principle if for no other reason, God will bless you. Even as scripture says “if God is for us, who could be against us. For He who spared not His only Begotten Son but delivered Him for us all, how shall He not freely give us all things??

We have this analogy from scripture for building and assembling. That “we are living stones being built up a habitation of God in the spirit”. When this is our frame of mind, it is equal to our sanctification, meaning protection and covering of God. Even as the Israelite’s traveled through the wilderness with the Fire by night and a cloud by day”, and as we see the Holy Spirit in Christ saying “Oh how I have wanted to brood over you as a Mother Hen broods over her chicks”. So too, God will bless those whose endeavors are as such. Each one according to their abilities and efforts, each one given the ability to excell and grow, each one working together mutually for these means.
