How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (““) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the verses in the Bible. I encourage you to read them, how else will you know if I’m quoting correctly? My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself.

This is the duty of the Scribe (writer) / Teacher (explainer) Matthew 13:52

I have added parentheses to the KJV verses to emphasize the points being made, and unless otherwise noted, all scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV) which exists in the Public Domain.

The Muslims don’t want you to know that the national borders of Israel are the entire Middle East, as determined by Abraham when he took the heads of the four surviving kings of the plain, 2,500 years before Islam was invented.

Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Gaza, Egypt and their governed territories became Abraham’s land by conquest and by God’s decree in Genesis chapter 15.

Israel’s True Borders Are From River To River:

No amount of 21st century chanting about the River to the Sea can refute that the land of Israel lies between the Euphrates river and the Nile river by God’s decree. Israel’s borders, in the mind of God, extend not only from the Jordan river to the sea, but from the Euphrates river to the Nile river, inclusive of the coast of the Mediterranean sea.

“In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt (the Nile) unto the great river, the river Euphrates, Genesis 15:18”

Abraham’s seed is inclusive of his children through his second wife Keturah, but those sons were trained by Abraham to worship Jehovah. Jehovah is not Allah.

Iran lies beyond the Euphrates and was added by conquest when Abraham killed King Chedorlaomer.

God knew long ago that man would give Israel trouble over its borders, therefore he conquered the land for Israel in the beginning. He always tells the end from the beginning. When Jesus returns, the land will be unified.

When Jesus Christ returns for the Prophet Isaiah’s remnant of Jews, those who believe (Isaiah 10), the entire Middle East will become the nation of Israel, from the Nile to the Euphrates and Iran. There are ancient bloodlines in Iran and its neighbors that are not part of Islam, these are Abraham’s sons.

God said,

“The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me,” Leviticus 25:23.

After the kings of the Plain led the war to kill the giants, Elderly Abram killed the remaining giant killers, thereby becoming the rightful ruling king of the Middle East.

The local Hittites bore witness in Genesis 23:5-13.

• Chedorlaomer, king of Elam (Sumer), Persia (Iran)

• Amraphel (Hammurabi), king of Shinar, Mesopotamia (Assyria)

• Arioch, king of Ellasar, Cappadocia (region in Turkey)

• Tidal, king of nations (Goyim), Hittite kingdoms (Turkey-Syria)
  

  More records have been discovered about these kings and all their names in their own tablet libraries. You can read this Wiki page for more information about them.

So what about Islam?

Mecca and Medina will likely be destroyed when God destroys the Suez Canal, which is the tongue of the Egyptian Sea written about by Isaiah in verse 11:15. Islam as a religion will cease with Jesus Christ visibly ruling over the entire Middle East as it will then be called Israel. Jesus is not just the King of the Jews, he is the King of his Father’s creation, the entire earth.

Abraham Gave The Land To Isaac Not Ishmael

“And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac,” Genesis 25:5

Abraham’s camp at Mamre, the place where God visited Abraham and Sarah, has been venerated by locals, Jews, King Herod, Constantine and the Byzantines, and later by Muslims. They all built walls around Abraham’s campsite; Herod had enclosed the site with a great stone wall, from the same stones used at the Temple Mount. And after all that, a church built by Constantine used to stand at the site. The city of Hebron sits around the site today. It’s still there, hiding in plain sight. No modern buildings have ever been built on top of the site. When Jesus of Nazareth walked in Jerusalem, Abraham’s camp was a well known location.

For a concise view and archaeological history of the site you can refer to Joel P. Kramer’s book, “Where God Came Down,” published by Expedition Bible. This book is number one in Archaeology on Amazon.

So What About The Perceived Genocide in Gaza?

In Arabic, the word Palestinian, is Philistine. Surprised?

Abraham lived at peace with the Philistines of Gaza in his day, but they fell backward over time and God sent Samson into Gaza to destroy the people in one night because Israel was still a weak nation without a military force. Samson’s testimony was the first destruction of Gaza in the time of the Judges. Later we see Israel falling away from God and Gaza becoming an enemy force against them again in David’s time, as a punishment from God.

Today’s destruction of Gaza by Israel (2023-2025) was prophesied by the prophets Jeremiah (Chapter 47), Zephaniah (Chapter 2), and Amos (Chapter 1), and Ezekiel (Chapter 15). When God speaks the same thing three times by three witnesses the prophecy is certain. God has prophesied against Gaza four times. We are witnessing the fulfillment of prophecy as Gaza continues to be ground into rubble. The Muslims could stop, but they won’t. The colors of the Palestinian/Philistine flag are the colors of the Apocalyptic Horsemen. The destruction of Gaza is a harbinger, of the Horsemen nations of Revelation. The Apocalyptic Horsemen are the Arab nations, the horsemen that John the Revelator was familiar with. I will be writing more about the Horsemen.

Today we are witnesses to the the “beginning of sorrows” for the unbelieving Jews that Jesus said would come upon his people but he also said “the end (of the church age) is not yet.”

Abraham’s Other Sons Were Sent Eastward

Everywhere Abraham (Abram) walked and saw the land, became God’s land. The Muslims don’t want to admit all their land is Abraham’s land, that Abraham was the Gentile Hebrew chosen by God to claim the land of the Middle East for the nation of Israel. When Abraham’s second wife Keturah and his many concubines, had many sons, Abraham sent those sons eastward to hold down the land with a full understanding of the worship of Jehovah, Genesis 25:6.

All the sons of Keturah and the concubines were circumcised to God and trained in sacrificial worship of Jehovah, as Abraham commanded them. Abraham made certain to do as Jehovah commanded him, to circumcise every male of his household including the male servants and the male soldiers and the male children. And Abraham did so and continued to do so. Read Genesis chapter 17.

The word Jehovah means Lord. Jesus Christ is Lord. John 3:13 is the verse where Jesus said that while he was on the earth he was also still in Heaven. For non-Christians, yes, Jesus Christ is God. He is the Son of God by virtue of taking on human flesh, the same as Adam was created. But understand, Jesus said, My Father and I are One, John 10:30.

For the unbeliever, ask yourself this question, “Why would God become anything other than his highest created creature?” He wouldn’t. If man is God’s highest created being, and he became one of us, then there really is only one way back to the Father, and that is through the sacrifice of his resurrected Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. If God is real, then he would have only one way, not millions of ways.

Why Did God Choose Abraham?

“For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him,” Genesis 18:19.

Islam is a death cult and does no justice nor judgment. Satan took hold of the sons of Keturah and the concubines eventually as we have seen in modern times, but God honors the foundations, not what was built in error upon the foundations, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15.

Keturah was the mother of the Midianites and the grandmother of the Saudi Arabians (Dedan) and Yemenites (Sheba), out of her son Jokshan. Keturah’s sons eventually fell away from God in the process of time without any teaching for the later generations. Still their lands belong to God as conquered by Abraham.

You may feel when you read the bible that the Children of Israel never built more than the foundations of buildings, especially since all their buildings have been destroyed by God. The foundations keep showing up however in Archaeology digs. At least that’s how I feel. Lots of foundations, but no full buildings. That’s because they could not or would not fully follow the Lord. But as a mercy to man, God left the foundations for a testimony of Christ.

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ,” 1 Corinthians 3:11.

Abraham laid the foundation of the of the coming Messiah, God himself, as a man who would take on flesh and be sacrificed and rise again on the third day. This is is all prophesied in the story of the sacrifice of Isaac. Abraham was a prophet, but he spoke no words, therefore his prophecies were in his actions. Therefore, he acquired the entire Middle East for the nation of Israel by slaying of the kings of the Plain in one night.

Before Hagar the Egyptian was Abram’s concubine, Sarah was Abram’s wife, therefore Isaac was the promised child, according to God, the type of Christ, not Ishmael. The scourge of Islam comes through Hagar the bondwoman to Satan, not Sarah the freewoman.

God blessed Ishmael to become a great numbered people to carry out the war of Armageddon against Christ. They were made for destruction because they hated Isaac and tried to kill him, as you see them doing even today. God is gracious and will save those from the tribes of Ishmael if they cry out to Jesus for salvation and they will be saved. Allah is not a God of any sort. The word Allah means “a god”, not THE God. And recently we’ve seen Jehovah give great victory to Israel and to the United States for tearing down the U.S. Funded weapons of war that Islamic states intended for the destruction of Israel, leaving Gaza as a ruin as prophesied.

The Truth About Islam

Allah is an imagination employed by Satan against humanity. There is no love in Islam only servitude and hatred, regardless of how beautiful the squiggle language appears in poetic form. Muslims have no promise that they will be saved under Islam so they work to please Allah by pilgrimage, jihad, and zakat and chanting death to the Christian and Jewish nations, and blowing themselves up while their mothers publicly say their babies are “bombs for Allah.” Islam is not a beautiful religion of peace, it is a maniacal death cult.

So Why Was Ishmael Included in Genesis?

All the nations are in Genesis. But God tells his parable story using examples of two people, sometimes twins. One goes the right way, and one goes the wrong way. Abel and Cain, Jacob and Esau, Isaac and Ishmael, and so on.

The Example Of Elderly Abraham Is Astonishing

When you use Abraham as the teaching example that Moses relayed to the first generation of the Children of Israel, you will have a better understanding why God let them die in their sins in the wilderness (God’s account is recorded by Ezekiel chapter 20), taking only Caleb and Joshua from the first generation along with the second generation into the promised land. Abraham was one man, who had no fear of man, giants, kings, or military forces. One man who had a confederation agreement with the giant Amorites to accomplish God’s will to save Lot and his family alive and to conquer the kings of the Plain of Shinar to acquire all the land of the Middle Eastern borders for Israel as the future nation.

Iran comes into play in the stories of Esther, Daniel the Prophet, Ezra the Priest and Nehemiah the King’s Cupbearer. You can read my article, “To Anoint the Most Holy” to find out how the curses of the ancient kings of Iran put their nation in jeopardy for the destruction that it is facing right now today. Those ancient kings of Iran funded the rebuilding of the Temple and Wall in Jerusalem and cursed any people who would come against the God who lives in Jerusalem. I merely called on those curses at the Lord’s direction, and we’ve seen how the USA cleaned up its mess under Trump’s leadership. The United States cleaned up its own mess that resulted in Gaza’s war against Israel. We paid for the terror tunnels to be built through Clinton money that went to the PLO. We paid for the Iranian nukes through money sent by Obama and Biden. In the Bible, God calls us a Silly Nation.

As Samson rent the lion so the Lord rent the spiritual forces, then the cleanup was carried out in the natural. My insights into these things are because I’m involved in the war in the Heavenlies and my prayers and curses were honored by God in the actions of Israel and the actions of the United States. Yes, Jesus Christ is the commander of the Host and there are still real warring Prophets in the earth today. Whether you know of them or not. Glory to God, every word in the book is true.

At some point I will document my prayers. The first being to bind the Prince of Persia. Immediately, the President and Prime Minister of Iran died in a strange helicopter crash. The Principality of war against Israel was bound and gagged.

The next prayers were to bind and cut off all communication channels between Satan and his demons, and after a time, the walkie talkies blew up in the hands of the Hezbollah legions wounding and killing over 3,000.

Yes, God has his prophets and he does act upon their prayers.

Israel has fought the war based on God’s rules of engagement in Deuteronomy chapter 20.

Both the delays and the victories of the war were managed by God’s timing and the prophesies already documented. Its all in the Bible.

Witnesses To Abraham’s Conquest Victory Over The Kings

The Hittites were the witnesses that saw the conquest of the kings of the plain go down and called Abraham “a mighty prince” or more fully, “a mighty prince of God” and offered him a burial place among their own tombs. They respected him because he was now the rightful conquering king of all the land. See Genesis 15.

History tells us that the Hittites were fierce warriors against Egypt and Assyria and against Babylon.

Abraham’s Accords

Abraham was at peace with Pharaoh (Genesis chapter 12), the Amorites (Genesis 14), and the Hittites who were enemies of Egypt (Genesis 15). Abraham lived in Gezer, the land of the Philistines and was friendly with Abimelech, their king. These were the four warring nations around the Mediterranean Sea.

In Genesis 20, we learn that King Abimelech of the Philistines (Gaza) wanted no trouble with God because of Abraham’s lies about Sarah. At this time, the Philistines were a righteous nation, and the king had interactions with Jehovah. In this case, Jehovah warned him and Abimelech asked God if he would slay them even though the Philistines were a righteous nation. There will be Philistines, Hittites, Egyptians, and Amorites in heaven when you get there.

Because the Amorite brothers helped Abraham, and the judgment on the Amorites was delayed 400 years, Genesis 15:16.

Abraham had good relations with all the enemies around him and they helped him become the sojourning ruler of all their land. Abraham and his herds and his many sons lived in the land for free among these rulers, sojourning with God.

Fear Not

Today’s Muslims are fearful that you will know the truth, because it will set you free from your fears of them. Fears that cause you to believe they should be given rights in America to establish their own legal system of Sharia Law alongside US Law. A nation divided cannot stand. We are a Christian nation, one nation under God, indivisible. No, Sharia Law will never be legal in the United States. But they will keep trying to divide us. If divided then we fall. So wake up and stand up for your faith and what is right, no matter the cost. If you are with Jesus, God is for you and not against you. He has given you all things.

Abraham Had No Fear - His Example Was Not To Question But Saddle His Ass And Go Right Away

Compare the 3 million Israelites of the Wilderness Camp who feared to go up and take the land to elderly Abraham who did in fact take all the land in one night, almost single-handedly.

The land that elderly Abraham conquered by himself while leading the armies of his enemy allies. God was very angry with the first generation because they failed to see the example of the one man Abraham empowered by God, when they lived under the Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire by night, God’s presence with them. They didn’t believe God would empower them all like he empowered Abraham. They would have conquered the land within months if they had believed. One million or so Davids warring with the power of the Holy Spirit. An unstoppable force. But they had no faith.

The Wilderness Camp spies had no faith and didn’t believe even though God’s very presence was with them visibly and all the people of the land feared them because of their great number. There were three organized cities at that time, Jericho, Damascus, and Jebus (the Jebusite city that would become Jerusalem). Jericho feared the Israelites in their military formation, camped in the shape of a cross spread out across the desert floor. The Israelites were 3 million strong and Jericho and Damascus may have been large trading cities but they didn’t have the standing population of the Wilderness Camp.

Israel had no excuse in the mind of God. And because they refused to allow him to sanctify them, he let them die in the wilderness. It is important for those professing to be Christians that they also do the work of repentance for ongoing sin.

Sanctification is the change that comes by which you experience temptations coming, but you are able to avoid them. God’s desire is to make you holy, and to renew your mind. The Holy Spirit infilling for power is given to those who obey, Acts 5:32. You must ask for it as Jesus said to do.

Joshua and Caleb fully followed the Lord, which means they had repented and given permission for Jehovah to sanctify them. Permission is needed because you have your own sovereign free will and God will not just change you without your verbal consent. That’s why many professing Christians continue to live in sin and disease. These are those who will say “Lord Lord” and he will say he never knew them. King David understood repentance of ongoing sin fully and he records his teachings in the Psalms. Specifically Psalm 138, 139, 17:

“The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands,” Psalm 138:8.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in The Way everlasting,” Psalm 139:23-24. (The Way is what they called Christianity)

“As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness,” Psalm 17:15 (In other words, when I am fully sanctified and glorified).

Psalm 119 is the believer’s repentance journey prayer. Speak it out over yourself in Prayer and God will go to work on you. For the sins you do not repent of, he will send trials to teach you what to repent of.

Peter was given the keys to the kingdom, which means his teachings in his little epistles hold keys to repentance and behavior you must exhibit during hardship. These will unlock the strait gate and allow the Holy Spirit to begin working on you.

Sanctification is required.

Abraham was fearless. Israel was fearful and they still are fearful today.

Israeli rabbis tell their people they will burn in excrement if they accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah. God spoke no such thing in the OT, therefore they are without excuse. Filthy words of man. The word of God contains no filthy statements. The rabbis will be held to account.

We are to hate every false way, Psalm 119. If there is one God, then he will have one way, and the real God chose the blood of his son to be the atonement for the soul, Leviticus 17:11.

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul,” Leviticus 17:11.

Who today has no fear? Donald Trump. And they hate him because he has no fear and asks no one for permission. As Kim Clement prophesied, Trump is God’s David for our time, to take back what the Devil has stolen while the church was asleep. My question is will you believe God and go all the way to obtain the Holy Ghost infilling to cast out your devils which cause you to fear, or will you stay asleep. God only sends a Prophet when he has no other choice and when he does, the Old Testament parables and examples come back into play.

A Few More Things About Abraham

Abraham’s Father Terah Moved to Harran Assyria (Aram)

Abraham began his walk when his father Terah decided to move his family north to Harran in the territory of Assyria. Abraham’s family walked from Ur of the Chaldees (Persian Gulf Delta) to Harran following the Euphrates river north. The family settled in Harran for awhile. When Abraham was 75, God called him to walk westward to the land of the Canaanites, Canaan’s land. Most sermons teach it was Abraham who decided to go to Harran. This is incorrect. It was God working through Terah to ensure both sons, Abraham and Nahor, would be positioned in Harran. One chosen to claim the land, and one chosen to raise up a wife for Isaac. Harran was likely a place free of Giants and free of the slavery of the kings of the Plain.

Why The Land Of Canaan Was Available for Abraham

Noah had cursed Canaan, therefore his land in the table of nations was available for God to give to Abraham.

Noah Cursed Canaan Therefore His Land Becomes Abraham’s Land

“And he (Noah) said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren, Genesis 9:25.

Ham is the father of Canaan, but it was Canaan, Noah’s grandson, who committed the homosexual act against Noah, for which he was cursed.

A Secret Of Scripture

Terah was 70 (not 70, 71, 72) when he begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran…triplets. Haran died in Ur. Abram and Nahor traveled to Harran Assyria at Terah’s decision.

“Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son (grandson), and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran,” Genesis 11:31-32.

Terah was 70 when when his sons were born and 205 when he died. Terah was 145 years old when Abraham received his call at age 75. Therefore Terah lived an additional 60 years after Abraham left to go to Canaan land. During those 60 years, Terah the patriarch would have been the stability of the family that remained in Harran while Bethuel was raised to father Rebekah and Laban.

Because the caravans of traders passed through the land between Egypt and the Euphrates river area, its likely that messages were passed between Terah and/or Bethuel and Abraham over the years even though the Bible is silent as to any personal correspondence or interaction among family members. There was no hesitation when fleshly Laban hurried to meet Jacob, his sister’s son, and Abraham knew his family had raised up a wife for Isaac when he sent Eliezer to find her.

Abraham Would Have Easily Spoken Several Languages

As Abraham traveled around we see him speaking with many peoples of the land. Pharaoh, the giant Amorites, the Philistine king, even Hittites and the sons of Heth who were the descendants of the cursed grandson of Noah, Canaan. Therefore, we must conclude it was common in those times after the Tower of Babel for men to be multilingual, or that the languages of the region were very similar. However, the study of the book of Job has proven that Hebrew is not a similar language to the Transjordan languages of the Moabites and Ammonites.

The bible makes it clear that Abraham was a peacemaker and confederate with leaders of other tribes, in particular the giant Amorites. He lived in peace with those landholders around him because of the power displayed by Jehovah on his behalf, particularly when Sodom and Gomorrah and all the cities of the plain were destroyed and everyone in the land witnessed the destruction and knew who did it. Archaeology has proven that the Canaanites and their practices were wicked as well as diseased and also that many immigrants also occupied Canaan, including Greeks. Trade and selling of farm produce and livestock would have necessitated multilingual capabilities.

The Story of Abraham is much greater than you can learn from just one sermon or even a few. Most ministers do not study but repeat what they’ve been taught. You must read the Bible for yourself under the power of the Holy Spirit to unlock the parable truths.

God bless you and keep you, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Not Poetry - But Parable:

How To Understand God’s Rebuke Of The Landscape And His Use of Prophets As Warning Signs Of The Times

What Was Jesus Writing?

God said Jesus would be a man born among them from the Tribe of Judah and he would come speaking the words of his Father in Heaven, Deut. 18:18. Those words were previously documented by the Old Testament Prophets. The church has long wondered what Jesus was writing in the sand that terrified the priests, John 8:1-11, but Daniel provided the interpretation of the tongues God the Father etched into the Babylonian Victory Wall.

Jesus did nothing publicly that was not already prophesied.

24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him (the hand of God which appeared to them visibly when it wrote on the Babylonian Victory wall;) 25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing (because it was a message written in tongues): MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting, 28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians (effectively, the Levitical priests are scattered because the true High Priest and King has come and the Gospel will be sent to the Gentiles, Acts 9:15 and Acts 18:6), Daniel 5:24-28.

What God said to Belshazzer, He said to Jerusalem and her priests because Jacob had prophesied in Genesis 49:10,

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah (the Levite priests who served in the Temple lived in the hill country of Judah), nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (No longer shall they be subject to the priests and Levitical Sacrificial System of the Law.)”

The unfaithful Jewish priesthood would no longer be in control over God’s people. But like Saul who refused to abdicate to David when told twice by Samuel, they continued their false religious practices and continued to hide the word of God from the people, Luke 11:52.

The Style of God’s Rebukes

Throughout scripture God condemns and rebukes the nations, the land and the cities, not usually people, in order that the people may decide to turn and repent even though disaster looms for their nations and cities. Jerusalem is named the “Daughter of Zion,” because the city sat at the foot of the now razed Mount Zion. Mount Zion, the actual hill, was razed to the bedrock in the time of the Maccabees after the Greek occupation under Antiochus IV Epiphanes 175BC - 164BC) so completely did he defile the Temple and God’s Holy things. The Jews were fearful that God would destroy Jerusalem because of the sin of the Greeks against God’s mountain. The Maccabees is a history book that was included in the catholic Apocrypha and it should be read by Christians. Antiochus IV Epiphanes is the most complete typology for the coming antichrist of the Tribulation according to the prophecies of Daniel.

Not Poetry But Parable Of Future Events

Rarely does God curse a person directly, unless the Law demands they will be cursed for specific actions. Instead he rebukes the nations, the land, and cities, using terminology from the landscape. This is why theologians talk about the Bible as poetry, however it is not poetry. It is prophecy and instruction in parable form. And we can know the old testament stories are parables for the most part, told from the real life actions of God’s people, because in Psalm 78 and many places elsewhere, God says he uses parables referring to the old testament. Only God could use the actions of free will humans to tell a story in parable form. This is some of the hidden manna in the bible that God promises to the one who overcomes. Read with new eyes. The bible is history, but not all of history, only the parts related to God’s message to man about himself and his plan to save as many who are willing to give their hearts to him alone, forsaking all other gods.

Prophets As Signs Because Jesus Christ Is The Sign

The Prophet Isaiah and his sons, the Prophet Ezekiel, and the Prophet Hosea and his prostitute wife were specifically signs in the flesh to the nation of Israel. And Jesus Christ was also a sign to them in the flesh, as prophesied by Jacob.

When Jesus came, the Jews sought after a sign, but Jesus was “That Prophet” and he was “The Sign.” In Hebrew, the word pronounced “oat,” אוֹת, the Aleph and the Tsav the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In Greek, the Alpha and the Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. From beginning to end and all the letters of the words in between, Jesus Christ is the Word of God, the very Bible itself, the Memra or Word of the Lord from the Old Testament, the Word made flesh, the Word who is God, from the Gospel of John chapter 1.

Reading Spiritually

To read spiritually, you must have the Holy Spirit Baptism, because his anointing is the teacher, 1 John 2:27. The Baptism is not just for power but for learning, giving you the capacity to understand the parables which are the dark (without light) mysteries. The relationship is built in repentance and worship and praise and in asking the Lord your personal questions about the scripture. He tells the stories in parable form throughout the bible old and new, and to unlock the meaning you have to ask for the hidden manna. Sometimes from others, sometimes from prayer, sometimes in fasting. But always as a gift given in approval of your repentance lifestyle.

Jerusalem - The Adulterous City

The leaders of Jerusalem wanted Israel to be like all the other nations. They wanted a man to be king and they desired to worship the false gods of other nations as well. This they did inside the walls of Jerusalem, as was shown to Ezekiel. They also made tiny female house idols to worship that have been discovered by archeologists, probably a form of Asherah worship that was carried out in the high places and the groves that was detestable to God.

John Chapters 8 - 10

So now let’s look at the New Testament story of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11) that seems to simply be a judgment on sexual sin, but the greater message is the throwing down of the Levitical priesthood who ruled Jerusalem. It’s important to note that this story comes from the Gospel of John (Jesus as God.) Jesus Christ was now made spiritual High Priest, King, and Judge. Now that the Lord of Hosts, the King of Israel had come, the Levitical priesthood was to be replaced by the Order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4, Hebrews chapter 7). Jacob prophesied that the Levitical Order would be removed by the one who was separated like Joseph, who would wear the crown (Gen. 49:26). Jesus is of the Tribe of Judah, not the Tribe of Levi. In John chapter 9, Jesus metes out judicial blindness on the Jews that have failed to believe. In John chapter 10 Jesus explains that he is the Good Shepherd and takes up his sceptre of rulership. In my opinion, John chapters 8, 9, and 10 should have been one chapter because they are apparently from the same day at the Temple.

Jerusalem The Unfaithful

God uses derogatory words for Jerusalem, his unfaithful wife. She is the Great Harlot, and the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth (Rev. 17:5), the idolatrous prostitute chasing foreign gods like a she-camel or she-ass in heat (Jer. 2). God divorced the northern tribes of Israel in Jeremiah 3:8, but said that the southern kingdom of Judah was just as treacherous, both idolatrous harlots. Israel the northern kingdom was given to Assyrian captivity, and Judah was sent into Babylonian captivity. Israel never returned and became Samaria. But Judah was needed to carry out the Cross according to the Prophet Ahijah’s Prophecy of The Robe (1 Kings 11). When Judah returned, she did not return to God, therefore the Shekinah Glory of God did not refill the Temple and they murdered the Prophet Zechariah for his end times prophecy about Jerusalem (Matthew 23:35), the same as they murdered the Prophet Isaiah for his hidden prophecy about Messiah, read Isaiah chapters 8 and 10.

God’s purpose for the Levitical Priesthood was protection of the Scripture and to slay his Lamb, the sacrifice for mankind. Christ needed to be slain as he was sinless and could not die a natural death. No wages of sin. Levi the murderer was chosen for the purpose.

Jerusalem the great whore because she refused her betrothed who was Christ and will accept the Antichrist instead

“I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive, John 5:43.”

2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, 3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven (witches, mediums, satanists, spiritists, star, horoscopes, and crystal worshippers, all occult practitioners of any kind, or of things created which are accursed objects) which I have not commanded, Deuteronomy 17:2-3.

All these things did Jerusalem worship.

Kabbalah and the Star of Remphan (Acts 7:43) on Israel’s flag are the continuing testimony of the abominations and their transgressions of the Covenant, even today.

God took Ezekiel (chapter 8) to see Jerusalem’s spiritual adultery and abominations within the Temple and in secret rooms carved inside the walls of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is judged as the adulterous woman, because her leaders refused their Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, and will accept the false Jesus of Islam, The Mahdi, as their messiah, the final fornication with false gods. It is the Antichrist who will be named Jesus (another Jesus, John 5:43) and will be elected by voters (not rising by his own power, Daniel 8:24) and will confirm a covenant of peace for three and a half years, then turn and attack, Daniel 9:27.

Jesus Christ - The Judge In Those Days

Jesus came to forgive the sins of the world, not to judge; the world is already entirely judged by the Law of God itself (John 3:17, Galatians 4:4-5, Romans 8:2, 10:4.) When Christians spend their time judging, they are doing what God has already done, which is to conclude all people born, condemned under the Law and its death penalty. No one can do or keep the Law, therefore all are condemned without a Savior. Christians are to minister life by helping God to save the lost. And those who will be saved are those whom the Father has drawn to Christ. Jesus says four times in the Gospel of John that no man can come unto him unless the Father draws him. God the Father chooses who will be given an opportunity for salvation through repentance, not the preacher. God is not in the business of saving those who don’t want anything to do with him. Jesus passed by many towns.

Jesus said, judge not lest you be judged; not to judge you, but to point out that the judging has already been done, and if your righteousness doesn’t go beyond the knowledge of the Pharisees, which was only the aspects of the judgment of the Law and it's death penalties, you won’t make it to heaven because you won’t be saved.

“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven,” Matthew 5:20.

The Law cannot save, the letter kills. Only the Spirit gives life in Christ Jesus. And only the saved Christians who are called by his name are eligible to receive the Spirit Baptism.

“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life,” 2 Corinthians 3:6.

Will the idolaters of the earth cease their idolatry to obtain eternal life? Usually not. They are captives of Satan and fight hard to remain captives.

But some, like Abraham, will believe their gods are not God but made like craft projects with their own hands, and will turn and repent and believe. These are the lost sheep Jesus is looking save. Those who realize the breath in their lungs is the Spirit of the Living God, like Job understood (Job 27:3-4, 33:4.)

The Woman Caught In Adultery As A Sign

Now, let’s consider the woman caught in adultery. Yes, we are to repent and cease all sexual sin, but this story is a parable of Jerusalem, and it is the moment in which Jesus took the authority of the priests away from them. God had weighed them in the balances and found them wanting, particularly when they began to hide the Torah and institute their own religion of the Talmud. When they began to hide the Torah, Jesus, The Word made flesh was sent to earth at the exact moment the process of time for the written Law had run its course. The woman brought to Jesus for judgment, was given mercy and called to repent. The heart of the Law is mercy, Hosea 6:6.

When the Law is kept in full, Love is possible. Man cannot keep the Law, but faith in the Law Keeper, Jesus Christ, provides salvation through repentance.

The Scene: The Feast Of Tabernacles

Jesus Christ figuratively denounced the priests’ authority during the Feast of the Lord, the Feast of Tabernacles. The days he was teaching them in the Temple.

Deuteronomy chapters 17 and 19 were used by Jesus, “the Judge in those days,” to adjudicate the woman caught in adultery and to scatter the priests who had accused her of their own sins. The priests were fornicating with false gods and false ways, causing Jerusalem to be a harlot before God.

How Jesus Judged

Let’s look at how he wove the concepts to arrive at the correct judgment. His judgment was that the time of the Levitical Priesthood was now ended: he wrote in the sand the same thing his Father wrote on the Babylonian victory wall:, “God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the …”. As the priests scattered, there was only one witness left, Jesus. And under The Law, there must be two or three witnesses to establish a thing. Therefore, the one witness, God, was able to forgive her. All repentance is before one witness, Jesus. When you are repenting in prayer, you are confessing to the one witness of your sin and there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:1.

• Daniel 5:24-28 (applies to judge Jerusalem and the ruling tribe of Levi)

• Deuteronomy 17:5-11 (applies to judge and forgive the woman)

• Deuteronomy 19:17-21 (applies to scatter the accusers in the fear of the Judge, the Lord Jesus who had come.)

Under God’s Law, two or three witnesses are necessary to establish a crime. And under God’s Law, the one witness who is always there is God. Repentance is about you coming to God as the witness of your sin and you taking personal responsibility for it and asking Jesus to be cleansed and changed.

The priests were only accusers, they failed to operate as ministers who helped the people to recognize their sin and to repent of it. In Lamentations, God lamented that the Prophets failed to show them their sin and therefore no repentance and no forgiveness.

What Jesus Wrote In The Sand - “Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin”

Moses said “that Prophet” who would be like him would come speaking the words of His Father in Heaven which are found in the OT Law, Prophets and Psalms. By the finger of God writing in the sand, as he wrote the same words that his father’s hand wrote on the Babylonian victory wall. Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin, which is said to have been a message in tongues that Daniel the Prophet interpreted. Jesus, in writing this in the sand, declared that God had numbered Jerusalem and the priest’s rule and finished it, because He had weighed them in the balances and found them wanting. The priests were focused on the death penalty of the Law, and made no room for the Grace and Graciousness of God. The Law cannot save and they did not become servants to the people, but Slayers during the 400 silent years when God allowed Levi to revert back to his original murderous nature, to ensure the Cross was carried out.

“And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee (Jesus Christ was God’s goodness to man), and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy,” Exodus 33:19.

This is the verse King David found in the Law that told him he was still able to cry to God for mercy even though he had committed a sin worthy of the death penalty in the Law.

Babylon was the Gentile world’s ruling royal city, technically ruled by Daniel the Prophet, the same as Joseph was the technical ruler of the world from Egypt, and now Jesus was made King over all the world, making us free from the Law by sacrificing himself. No longer does man have to be condemned by the Law. But the Jews continue to fail to accept Christ.

Jesus did nothing publicly that was not already prophesied.

24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him (the hand of God which appeared to them visibly when it wrote on the Babylonian Victory wall;) 25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the thing (because it was a message written in tongues): MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting, 28 PERES (UPHARSIN); Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians (effectively, the priests are scattered because the true High Priest and King has come and the Gospel will be sent to the Gentiles to build the church, Acts 9:15 and Acts 18:6), Daniel 5:24-28.

Jerusalem’s Only Purpose

Jerusalem’s only purpose was to bring about the sacrifice of the Son of God, to literally kill God, so that Satan could think he had ascended to God’s throne, Ezekiel 28:2.

“That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover (The Lamb of God promised to Abraham in Genesis 22:13), who (refers to a person) passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he (a male) smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped (because he is God),” Exodus 12:27. Yes. Jesus Christ is God.

BUT SATAN FORGOT

But Satan forgot that God prophesied that while Satan may bite his heel, The Lord would stomp his head in Genesis 3:15.

The Prophecy as a Word Picture

It’s a picture of God seated on his heavenly throne with his feet on the footstool of the earth, Isaiah 66:1. Jesus’ feet literally walked the earth, John 3:13. The Serpent then pops up to bite one of God’s heels on the footstool of the earth, then irritated, God using his bitten foot (Jesus) to stomp on the head of the serpent who bit him.

Jesus Smiles In Victory

And the Victorious Jesus is smiling in Jacob’s prophecy of Judah found in Genesis 49:12

“His eyes shall be red with wine (should have been translated “sparkling like wine”), and his teeth white with milk,” Genesis 49:12. When are your eyes sparkling and your teeth are showing, you are smiling.

The Temple was built because David wanted to build it, despite God saying he didn’t need a Temple built for him, that he was perfectly comfortable to live in the tent Moses had built for him (which would be the body made for him according to Hebrews 10:5).

“5…Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? 6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. 7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?” 2 Samuel 7:5-7.

(God preferred the tent of his body, the traveling Tabernacle, to a house of wood or stone, and we see this in Jesus. His body, was full of the power of God, and his tent was meant for sacrifice.

Jesus referred to his body as the Temple of God, Matthew 26:61. Then Paul said we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is God, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

God didn’t need a stone Temple that they would idolize. But David and Solomon wanted it so God relented, knowing he would destroy it later to end their religion.

Jesus used the Temple to teach and to carry out the judicial blinding of the Jewish leaders foretold by Isaiah, and he also portrayed the sanctification of believers when he cleansed the Temple with a whip, driving out the money changers and the merchandise, restoring it to a house of prayer, as believers are to become as Christians after they cleanse themselves of the lusts of this world. Jesus cleansing the temple with a whip is the picture of how he cleanses the temples of unrepentant Christians that still need to be cleansed. Life becomes more difficult when you refuse to leave the worldly lusts. He is also a stern father to his wayward children.

Gomer

Jerusalem is the woman caught in adultery the same as Gomer the prostitute from the book of Hosea. Hosea is the book in which God stores up his seven vials of wrath against Satan’s kingdom, Jerusalem is its capital. The Wrath will pour out on Satan’s kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital.

ADJUDICATION

Deuteronomy 17:5-13

5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. 6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. 7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you. 8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose (Jerusalem); 9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days (Jesus Christ), and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment (Jesus showed them what he wrote in the sand): 10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: 11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee (The sentence God wrote on the wall in Babylon, Jesus wrote in the sand.), and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. (Note, this is the third repetition they would be shown the judgment and told to do what it said, they ran in fear, they knew the sentence God wrote on the wall in Babylon.) 12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that stands to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die (they ran, they’d seen Jesus do miracles and knew God was with him): and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. 13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously, Deuteronomy 17:5-13.

The Scribes and Pharisees brought the woman caught in adulteryto the Judge “who shall be in those days,” the Lord Jesus Christ who happened to be in his Temple that day, after suddenly appearing the day before (required by Deuteronomy 17:9 as part of the operation of the Death Penalty Court.)

The Scribes and Levites brought this woman to Jesus as a way to test him so they could arrest him and put him to death. This harlot was a type of Jerusalem the divorced wife, Gomer from the Book of Hosea. Jesus had proclaimed his purpose in the Temple the day before, who he was; the Messiah, the Prophet from Deut. 18:18; The Rock, The Christ. Now the next day they are bringing a matter of judgment to him to decide to see if he knew the Law. They would find out it was they who did not know the Law. (John 8:4-6.)

The woman had committed a sin worthy of the death penalty and they believed the right judgment against her was to stone her to death. And in their unrighteous judgment, the Law was their judge. But Jesus was calmly writing in the sand, not looking at them, pretending not to hear their accusations.

With the accusers scattered, Jesus was the single witness of Deuteronomy 17:6 that allowed the woman all to go free from the death penalty. Interesting to note verse 17:8 says for anything too difficult for man to judge he is to lay the issue before God. The Lord Jesus exercised the right which he has reserved unto himself for all eternity – the right to extend grace/graciousness on whosoever he will, Exodus 33:19/Romans 9:15. The men judged her worthy of death, therefore they were judged worthy of death also, but the Lord showed mercy because he came to forgive. (John 8:6-11.)

Then Jesus confirmed his judgment (8:12) in this case by saying “I am the Light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. It is said he stood in front of the Lampstand.

Jesus Defends His Judgment of the Woman to All in the Temple

1. Jesus defends his self-witness in the case against the woman (8:13-20)

2. Jesus tells them he does his Father’s will and they will die in their sins. (8:21-30)

3. Jesus tells the believers that the truth will make them free and end their slavery to sin. (8:31-36)

4. Jesus answers their accusations with a contrast between the true seed of Abraham and the seed of Satan, and in return they tell him his mother committed fornication (8:31-47.) The Jews loved to accuse and argue and debate. Their arguments were basically the same as the day before. The Sin Nature was in control because they had left the Word of God and established their own laws.

5. In response, Jesus answered them from the day before in John 7:20, when they said he had a demon: Jesus elaborately schools them on how they have dishonored him, the giver of Eternal Life, and then he told them that he is the “I Am” that was before Abraham. (8:48-58)

6. They picked up rocks to stone him (8:59.) They had started out wanting to the stone the woman, then they found out that they too were guilty and should be stoned, but then they wanted to stone Jesus because he was God. They were truly the adversaries of God (Hebrews 10:26-31.)

7. They had come to test God, and ended up being sentenced to judgment themselves. “Grudge not, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.” (James 5:9.)

My Purpose

This article is intended to provide you with the scriptural transition from the Old to the New, and what the Jews were supposed to understand about transferring their faith from doing the Law to Faith in the shed blood of Christ as the last sacrifice for sin.

I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. Isaiah 43:15

It's worthwhile to do what the Jews refuse to do: to read the book of Isaiah. The prophecies of Isaiah tell of God’s lament toward the apostasy of his people and they prophesy the conception and the birth of the Messiah to come, his death, and much more. Isaiah confirms the future prophecies of the prophet Malachi, describing the attitude of God’s people against him. The Jews who hated God are a type of religious society in the world that hates God. The prophets tell God’s perspective, not man’s perspective. Since the Jews practiced both Judaism and idolatrous religions in secret, they are the perfect typology of religious man whether it be religious Christians not interested in the power of God or religious pagans of the world religions.

Religion Is Not The Way - Relationship With Christ Is The Way

Religion is a way of doing things that comforts the flesh. The Spirit strips the flesh away in repentance and the ones who walk in the Spirit of God point to the Cross and scripture and are neither popular nor have large followings, we are the remnant that Isaiah prophesied throughout his book. Believing Jews are added to the Church which is the Bride of Christ. There is a redeemable Jewish remnant that will exist at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the remaining 1/3rd of the inhabitants of Jerusalem according to the Prophet Zechariah. This is the remnant that Isaiah is counting himself among.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (because he is Christ); and shall deceive many (by adding Christ to their religion that is not of Christ),” Matthew 24:4-5.

Warning

Religious churches use the name of Jesus but deny his power (The Holy Spirit Baptism) and deny the authority of his name (failing to cast out demons and heal the sick), and say it’s okay to continue in sin without a repentance lifestyle, preferring the lie of Cessation that denies the Holy Spirit (The Unforgivable Sin). Run from these churches, now before it’s too late. Renounce your religion and turn to Jesus Christ.

“And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them (by the Holy Spirit Baptism); and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them (the religious only churches), and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty (The Father),” 2 Corinthians 6:16-18. (Paul speaking by the Holy Spirit)

The Basic Prophecies About Messiah

• Moses wrote that God said Messiah would be a man, a prophet, born among them, Deuteronomy 18:18. Moses also said in the very next verse that if they don’t hearken to the words of the one God will send, they will die in their sins, Deuteronomy 18:19, John 8:21, 24, John 15:22. Jesus Christ is the Anointed Savior, Son of God (as the Jews claimed they were), Son of David, Son of Joseph (adopted by Joseph the dreamer, a son of David, Matthew 1:20; fulfilling the prophecy parable of Joseph, the son of Jacob). The Jews have always believed Messiah would be both Son of David and Son of Joseph.

• Peter proclaimed on the Day of Pentecost, Feast of Weeks:

“19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing (Isaiah 28:12) shall come from the presence of the Lord;

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days,” Acts 3:19-24. And Stephen preached the same, Acts 7:37.

• Jacob prophesied Messiah would be of Judah, but one like Joseph, separated from his brethren, not from the Tribe of Levi, Genesis 49:10, 26.

• Isaiah saw God and called him both Lord of Hosts (a title of God) and The King (a title of a man), Isaiah 6:5. Isaiah wrote that Messiah would be born of a virgin (the hired maiden, Genesis 30:18) as God said to King Ahaz, Isaiah 7:14.

God speaking said, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son (God’s son), and shall call his name Immanuel (God with us),” Isaiah 7:14.

This son will be God with us. God in the flesh, born as a man, as Moses said.

• In Chapter 8, Isaiah records there will only be a remnant of the Jews who believe and he said he and his family and his disciples will be accounted among that remnant, the believing remnant, leaping 2,700 years into the future to be counted among them. Isaiah records this secretly among his followers telling them not to share this prophecy but bind it up:

“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples (Isaiah’s disciples.) And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him (in the future). Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion (because they believed and all Israel did not believe), Isaiah 8:16-18.

In Chapter 9, Isaiah gets more specific saying the Son of God will be called “The Mighty God” and “The Everlasting Father,” “The Prince of Peace". This references both father God and God’s son the Prince. To understand the plurality of God and also his singular person, takes some study of Hebrew word construction. Hebrew contains singular words that are plural. By the word Elohim, the Jews knew that God was both one and more than one. YHWH is Yay-Ho-Vah, Jehovah, Lord. The Jews hid this word Lord, saying it was too holy, but there is not one single text that says God thought his name should not be spoken by all. According to Josephus, the Jews were told since Heber, the first Hebrew, sometimes spelled Eber, that Israel would be the seat of God’s Government.

Isaiah 9:6-7

6 For unto us a child is born (a man), unto us a son is given (God’s Son): and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

The Prophecies Of Messiah’s Visitation As A Man

The Jews Knew God Was Going To Visit Them As A Man

God was coming to visit his people in the form of a man born among them, Deuteronomy 18.18, and there was nothing they could do about it, so they pretended not to recognize him, even though John the Baptist’s father, Zacharias, announced the arrival of Messiah’s Prophet and who Messiah’s parents were at the Temple.

We know the priest Zacharias announced Messiah’s pending arrival from Luke chapter one when he went preaching filled with the Holy Spirit around the countryside, and because the priest Simeon and the widow Anna heard it and watched for Joseph and Mary to come for the baby’s circumcision. God gave the Jews 30 years to search the scriptures to prepare for Jesus’ message of repentance.

Recognizing Their Visitation Was God’s Test Of Their Faithfulness

The leaders willfully didn’t pass the test. And this was proof that Satan controlled them. Jesus called them serpents and vipers, the offspring of The Serpent, Matthew 23:33. The Jews very much appreciate Christians who support them, but as a majority, they still refuse the Gospel message.

The Word “Visitation” Refers Only To Messiah

Like the phrase “Most Holy,” the word “visitation” only refers to the Messiah. The word visitation occurs only 15 times. Thirteen times in the Old Testament, and twice in the New Testament. Used by Moses, Job, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Micah, Luke, and Peter. Here are some of the key verses with the word “visitation” so you can see the pattern.

“If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men (The Cross); then the LORD hath not sent me, Numbers 16:29.

(Moses is saying after the Cross, which is the visitation of all men for salvation, that Messiah was not coming again to perform the payment for sin. He suffered and died once for all. If you fail to accept the sacrifice of Christ as the last sacrifice for sin, there is no more sacrifice for sin, Hebrews 10:26. All the efforts at the third Temple will be for nought, except to fulfill the prophecy of the Antichrist ceasing the oblations.)

Jesus said, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not,” Matthew 24:23.

(We come back with him after the wedding feast rapture, Matthew 12:36, at the Second Coming gathered from the four winds of heaven, Matthew 24:31. We are not to look for him on earth during the Wheat Harvest of the Church Age. Any Jews that come to faith are added to the Church, not to Judaism, although they continue in their traditions as God commanded them.)

“Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit", Job 10:12, Genesis 32:30.

(Similar to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Job saw the Lord, and as Jacob did, declares he was preserved, or saved.)

“And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation (far future) which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? Isaiah 10:3.

(Asking Jerusalem what she will do when the Lord appears if she refuses to believe.)

It was Jeremiah who prophesied the end of the Jewish religion under the Law, using the word Visitation:

“12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush (not embarrassed at all): therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down (the Pharisees and Priests and Rabbis), saith the LORD. 13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine (Job 15:33, Isaiah 5:2,4, John 15:1, only the vine, Jesus Christ, remains, Genesis 49:11, 22) nor figs (Revelation 6:13) on the fig tree (chopped down by John the Baptist to reveal The Vine, Matthew 3:10, Luke 3:9), and the leaf shall fade (Matthew 21:19, Joel 1:7); and the things that I have given them (doing the Law for righteousness) shall pass away from them, Jeremiah 8:12-13.

The Lord says there will be no grapes or figs, which means there will be no fruit of the Spirit and no Gospel wine in the Jewish religion.

Jeremiah prophesied before Daniel gave his prophesy of the Temple destruction.

Then Hosea prophesied:

“When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt,” Hosea 1:1.

(Jesus returned from Egypt, the same as the Children of Israel returned to Canaan land from Egypt.)

“The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred,” Hosea 9:7.

(Describing the hatred of the Jews in Jesus’ time.)

Then Micah said:

“The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity,” Micah 7:4. (Daniel’s prophecy will come to pass.)

Then Luke records all of Jesus’ disciples gathered and worshipping God saying praises to the King that Isaiah saw in his vision (Isaiah 6:5), the Lord of Hosts who is also the King of Israel:

“And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent (bottom) of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples (the 12 and the women, the 70, and the 120) began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest,” Luke 19:37-38, Psalm 118:26.

Jesus Addressed Jerusalem With Pharisees Present-Answering The Prophecies Of Isaiah, Jeremiah, And Daniel:

“And when he was come near (to the Pharisees), he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes (judicially blinded). For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.” Luke 19:41-44.

^“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, Matthew 23:37-39, Luke 13:34:35, Psalm 118:26.

Ezekiel chapter 5 holds the detailed prophecy of their desolation.

Will the modern church be able to discern the times of her visitation for the Rapture? Jesus asked, “…when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8.

Because of faithlessness and their hatred of God, the Jews missed their visitation and history and archaeology records them as made desolate when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple and again when the world wars destroyed them in the Holocaust, not leaving many to continue the religion that God hates. The dry bones of Israel were resurrected as a nation in 1948, according to Isaiah 66:8, born in one day.

Jacob’s Genesis 49 Prophecies - Levi As The Slayer And The Faith Transfer From The Animal Sacrifices To Christ

“The wages of sin is death,” Romans 6:23.

Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God, was born sinless without Adam’s DNA and lived holy, therefore he could not die a natural death. He had no wages of sin. He would have to be slain by the Temple Priests. This is what the animal sacrifices depicted.

The Old Testament is a series of prophetic parables. The actions of the sons of Jacob self-selected their tribal roles in the latter days. Their actions were their prophecies the same as Abraham’s actions were his prophecies. Prophecies in actions, not words. For this article I’m not going to focus on Jacob’s whole prophecy, but the cast members that are useful to this article.

This Article’s Cast - Not in Birth Order

• Levi self-selected as the slayer, led the raid on the circumcised men of Shechem. God brought the tribe of Levi close and made them the priestly tribe responsible for guarding the scriptures, knowing they would revert to their murderous nature when left alone for the 400 quiet years between Malachi and John the Baptist.

• Simeon self-selected as the murderer, God reduced this tribe and hid them in Judah. A type of judgment and forgiveness in Christ for this tribe.

• Dinah a type of worldly lust, her secret disobedience provided sanctified wives for Jacob’s sons. Sanctified wives, because the dead husbands of Shechem were circumcised to God. By Christ’s sacrifice we escape the lusts of this world.

• Joseph self-selected as the type of Christ being sent into the prison of the earth, forgiving his father’s house, and saving them from death in the 7-year famine/tribulation. Joseph is the vine that grows over the wall of Jerusalem to encircle the earth. As the shape of the Wilderness Camp forms the Cross, Joseph is not included, because he is the typology of a man, Christ, who will hang on the Cross.

• Judah self-selected as the tribe Jesus would come from by offering himself as a substitute captive to save Benjamin. Christ died a substitutionary death, one for as many who will believe.

• Benjamin the youngest, had the most offspring, his name means, The Son of The Right Hand, which means the Son of God. Fathers have the biblical right to override their wives decisions. Jacob changed his name to fit the prophecy. The born again children of Christ will be multitudes. The Prophecy of Paul as “Little Benjamin will lead them” is found in Psalm 68:27. Jerusalem was the capital city of the tribal land of Benjamin. The Temple straddled the border of Judah and Benjamin. The land of Benjamin was defiled by the murderous homosexuals (the tribe of ravening wolves) in Judges 18-21. The Cross stood in the defiled land of Benjamin, outside the city walls, to remove the sin of the land’s defilement. Judah’s council was the 24 courses of Levites that lived in Judah but served at the Temple.

• Gad is a troop, one military champion, The Lord of Armies (Hosts), Jesus Christ.

• Dan means God has judged me. Dan was prophesied as a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. Many are confused by this prophecy thinking it refers to the Antichrist. You’ll see later on that Dan refers to God’s judgment poured out on Christ. When the Cross is preached, lifted up for salvation of souls, it makes the apocalyptic Horsemen of Revelation fall back, be further delayed while Jesus adds souls to his church. The coming Tribulation kick off of the Four Horsemen is delayed as long as the Cross is lifted up to save souls.

• Leah and Rachel declared the parable of the Gospel in the birth announcements of their children. We will see this later on.

Levi As The Slayer

Levi self-selected as the slayer of the sacrifice. Levi and Simeon his brother murdered the men of Shechem. God used Levi’s nature to maintain the scripture, and to carry out the literal Passover Sacrifice Of The Lord Jesus commanded by God.

Jacob said not to enter into their council or assembly, Genesis 49:5-7. Jesus said to observe what they said, but not to do their works, Matthew 23:3. Because of their fierce angry religious nature, the Levite Priests focused on the letter of the Law which kills, rather than the intent of the Law which is Mercy. Man cannot keep the Law. But if we were able to keep the Law, then we would love and be merciful, as Christ our Law Keeper does.

“5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. 6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man (Jesus), and in their self will they digged down a wall (Jerusalem’s wall). 7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel,” Genesis 49:5-7.

The Cross was an instrument of cruelty. Jacob saw it, and like Isaiah the Prophet, did not want to be counted with the Levites. Fierce anger and wrath describes the leaders of Jerusalem perfectly, as Malachi the Prophet prophesied their nature.

God did divide them and scatter them; The Levites lived in Judah and Jerusalem to serve at the Temple, and David divided them again into 24 courses; the majority of Levites served in town synagogues throughout Israel and thus they were scattered.

The Greek word for Pharisee in the Septuagint is Separatists. Paul was a Pharisee, and his father was a Pharisee before him, but they were of the Tribe of Benjamin, not Levi, Acts 23:6. There was no tribal requirement to become a Pharisee. It was the Pharisees who wrote and instituted the Talmud to hide God’s Word from the people, Luke 11:52.

The politics in Jerusalem in the time of Christ can be studied from the work of Emil Shurer. The High Priest was a Jew, but a Roman appointee in Jesus’ time, so not God’s choice, and the Pharisees gained agreement with the High Priest to institute the Talmud. It is the Talmud that hides the knowledge of Jesus Christ from the Jews. The modern Rabbis today fiercely defend the Talmud even by death threats against those who try to teach against it in Israel. They are willfully and judicially blinded.

The Faith Transfer From The Animal Sacrifices To Christ

Throughout scripture, the coming transition of faith was foretold in all that the Prophets had said. Instead of preparing expectantly to meet God, they preferred darkness and control, gaining wealth for themselves by cheating the people. They continually found ways to judge and demand a death sentence for transgressors.

The transition away from enforcing the Law which looked for the Messiah, to putting their faith in the Messiah who had come to forgive sin by his sacrificial death is where they stumbled. They had not studied the scriptures to understand what the Prophets and the Psalms had said.

The Law causes the sin nature to be excited. It’s a spiritual thing. Man cannot keep the Law no matter how well all the ordinances and ceremonies are performed. The Law is against us for the purpose of showing us our sin. We are all born judged already by the Law. We need the Savior to remove the sin penalty of the Law, which is death, by repenting and asking for forgiveness and receiving it. The Law was given to show the requirements of holiness and to show man he cannot achieve holiness without the Savior. We are sin because our very DNA is corrupted by sin.

Paul Describes The Faith Transfer

Galatians 3:6-3:29 This is Paul’s Revelation, and for a long time, there has been discussion about removing the book of Galatians from the Bible. Of course this discussion is led by Satan in an effort to make Christianity into nothing more than another religion. He’s still at it.

“16 Now to Abraham and his seed (The Seed) were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to Thy Seed, which is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the Law, which was four hundred and thirty years after (after Jacob went down into Egypt), cannot disannul, that it should make The Promise of none effect (the Law does not override The Promise which is inherited in Christ.) 18 For if the inheritance be of the Law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it (the inheritance) to Abraham by promise. 19 Wherefore then serveth the Law? It was added because of transgressions (the transgression of forgetting God and going back to serving false gods at Mt. Sinai), till The Seed should come to whom the promise was made (the promise was given to Abraham that Christ would come); and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one (God is three persons), but God is one (the singular-plural word Elohim). 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a Law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the Law. 22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the Law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the Law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith (in Christ) is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster (the Law). 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus (those who believe and have been baptized). 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise,” Galatians 3:6-29.

Paul covers it all in his circular fashion. The Jews are still stumbling. Because they do want to believe as God indicated in the scriptures throughout. They didn’t just gladly slay Jesus Christ as God intended for them to do to defeat Satan, but they also killed every Prophet God sent to them, with possibly the exception of Samuel and Elisha.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!,” Matthew 23:37

Jacob Prophesied A King - A Man Out of The Tribe of Judah

A King has a crown, a sceptre, a robe, a throne, a government with a council, a kingdom.

The Crown:

“The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren,” Genesis 49:26.

Joseph was separated from his brethren, and so was Jesus Christ. The Crown, the diadem, was made for the High Priest. The prophesied High Priest in the Order of Melchizedek whose name means King of Peace, King of Righteousness, Psalm 110:4, Genesis 14:18. Crowns are worn by royalty, The Prince of Peace, The Prince of the kings of the earth, The King of kings. He’s called a Prince because he is the Son of God who is the King of Isaiah 6:5. Jesus Christ is both High Priest and King of Israel. Aaron was a prophetic placeholder at the wilderness tabernacle.

The Sceptre:

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come (refers to the personified Tabernacle at Shiloh); and unto him shall the gathering of the people be,” Genesis 49:10.

Him refers to the High Priest the Tabernacle represents, Jesus Christ. No longer would the people follow the placeholder priests like Aaron, but Messiah. Preachers always wonder why Paul chose the Tabernacle as the type of Christ, now you know.

The Flowing Wrap-Around Robe - A Blood Stained Surrounding Garment:

“Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: 12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk,” Genesis 49:11-12.

In the Septuagint, the Greek says,

“πλυνεῖ (he washed) ἐν (in) οἴνῳ (wine) τὴν (the) στολὴν (flowing robe) αὐτοῦ (his) καὶ (even) ἐν (in) αἵματι (blood) σταφυλῆς (grape, singular) τὴν (the) περιβολὴν (covering, a surrounding garment) αὐτοῦ (his).”

Or as it would have been written in English:

‘He washed his flowing robe in wine and his wrap-around garment in the blood of the grape.’

The word “covering” or “vesture” is used. Taken together, his body would be washed in his own blood (that of the singular grape from the vine of Israel) and then thrown around someone as a covering for sin. We are washed in his blood, re-gened a new creation.

King Jesus sacrificed himself to cover us in his royal blood soaked robe so that when the Father looks at us, he sees his son, not our sin.

The flowing robe “στολὴν,” stolé or stole, is figuratively the robe of a king. The grape personified, “σταφυλῆς” is singular. He is the Grape, from the vine of Israel, who shed his blood, the grape crushed into wine.

His covering, “τὴν (the) περιβολὴν (covering) αὐτοῦ (his)”, is a further figurative phrase that refers to his body, his tent, as the covering of the Tabernacle, and this covering is better described as a “surrounding garment” which is a robe.

Here we have Jesus literally washing his body in his own blood by dying on the cross, and wrapping believers in his blood soaked robe to wash away their sins. Proverbs 20:16, 27:13 says “Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.” His robe is our surety where the blood was applied. As Tamar, the gentile (a strange woman), the daughter in law of Judah, took Judah’s staff, ring, and bracelets as surety that she became pregnant by him and no other.

Jerusalem was a strange woman who had forgotten who her bridegroom was.

So in your mind, you can see the result of placing your faith in Christ for salvation, involves him throwing his blood washed body around you to hide you from the wrath of God. This is literally the meaning of being found in Him.

Paul said,

“8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead,” Philippians 3:8-11.

Paul used the analogy of water baptism to explain how we are Baptised into his death and resurrection, but I find the Greek in the Septuagint to be more literal. There are other surprises in Chapter 49 of Genesis, when taking the English and the Hebrew and the Septuagint Greek together as a complete picture of each verse. The translation differences are not error, but prophetic components that illuminate the whole meaning when read together. The Septuagint is seen as a tool of interpretation by scholars and theologians, and it was written 165 years before Jesus was born by Hebrew priests. It is also the word of God. And Genesis 49 is where the three languages, Hebrew, Greek, and English integrate to form the whole picture of Jacob’s prophecy of the Cross.

“His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk,” Genesis 49:11-12

This is a picture of a happy Jesus smiling. His “eyes red with wine,” is better translated, “eyes sparkling like wine.” And “his teeth white with milk", can only mean he’s smiling, for when do you see a person’s white teeth? When they are smiling.

The Septuagint verses contain Greek words that were not easily translated, so they dropped them. The full picture of Jesus as The Vine as he proclaimed comes from Jacob’s prophecy, and from the Septuagint where the words “τῇ ἕλικι” were dropped because they didn’t understand the reference to “The Helix”. I’ll show you this later on.

“Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall,” Genesis 49:22. (The son of Jacob who forgave all his father’s house, the fruitful branch that runs over the wall of Jerusalem to encircle the world with the Wine of the Gospel, The Good News.)

Now you’ve seen God Our Savior King, his throne is King David’s throne forever and he is the king of all the kings of the nations, deciding those who are raised up and deposed, Daniel 2:20-22.

“20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and The Light (Jesus Christ) dwelleth with him.”

A Sanctuary And A Stone of Stumbling Was Promised

Jesus Christ is the Stone of Stumbling because the Children of Israel swore an oath to serve God and they still refuse to pay their vow (Deuteronomy 18:19, 23:21, and then read Isaiah Chapter 45.)

Isaiah 8:14-16

“14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel (Judah and Ephraim), for a gin (trip wire) and for a snare (noose) to the inhabitants of Jerusalem (Leaders, Levites and Pharisees). 15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken (by Satan). 16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.”

Matthew 21:42-44

“42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner (cornerstone): this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you (Jews), The kingdom of God shall be taken from you (Daniel 5:25-26, John 8:6), and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof (Arguably Asia Minor, then Britain, now the United States). 44 And whosoever shall fall (stumble, Isaiah 8:14) on this stone (referring to himself) shall be broken (Deuteronomy 18:19): but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder (Daniel 2:44-45).

The Stumbling Block - Isaiah Chapters 8 & 53

The Prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, disassociated himself with the establishment Jews and Judaism and aligned himself with God and the believing remnant he prophesied in verses 8:16-18. If Isaiah was given the vision in Chapter 6 during King Uzziah’s reign, he wouldn’t have wanted to tell anyone, because the Jews were not following God, but worshipping demons. Only Isaiah and his disciples followed God at that time.

Isaiah 8:16-18

“16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 18 Behold, I and the children the sons whom the LORD hath given me (Maher-shalal-hash-baz & Shear-Jashub) are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.”

Isaiah Chapter 8

Isaiah was martyred for his faith. The Jews put him alive into a tree trunk and sawed him in half. Not unlike how they murdered the Prophet Zechariah, Son of Berechiah, between the altar and the Temple. Jerusalem did indeed killed all the Prophets.

Isaiah prophesied 700 years before Jesus Christ (742-681 BC) would appear as a man at the moment in history when the High Priest was convinced by the Pharisees to remove the Torah and replace it with the Talmud, Luke 11:52. At this point, when God’s word was removed, He sent his son in the flesh. They didn’t believe the miracles either. He came to his own and his own knew him not. Read the Book of Malachi to understand the character of Jerusalem during Jesus’ lifetime. Malachi presents the instruments of cruelty as they would be, and Emil Schurer presents them as history documents them.

You can read about the heated politics between the Pharisees and the High Priest and their dinner parties in the five volume set titled, “A History Of The Jewish People In The Time Of Jesus Christ,” by Emil Schurer, D.D., M.A., Professor of Theology at the University of Giessen, Germany, translated into English by the Scottish Reverend John MacPhearson, M.A. Here is a link to the internet archive. These books also provide the researched details of the census Joseph and Mary were required to register for in Bethlehem. How the census was conducted from the Roman perspective as to decrees made, by whom, when, and who governed the place names of the New Testament. There is no substitute for actual research. Historical information has been eroded by the internet not enhanced by it. These books are scholarly and you might not appreciate the Greek and Hebrew quotations, however you will still gain insight you’ve never heard preached. An understanding of man’s history is not necessary to come to faith, but it’s good to fill in the gaps for yourself to silence the workers of iniquity when they attempt to erode your faith by their atheistic claims to knowledge.

Isaiah’s Prophesies are primarily related to Jesus Christ, his first and second advents and the coming Millennial Kingdom of 1,000 years. Isaiah is like a prophecy of the New Testament, while Zechariah is a prophecy of the Jewish end times. Isaiah chapter 53 was forbidden by the Rabbis. You can do separate study on your own as to why they refute it.

Today, in Israel, there is a rabbinical debate taking place. They are wondering how Isaiah saw God in Isaiah Chapter 6, yet Isaiah called God both the Lord of Hosts and King in verse 6:5. They are stumped as to how God can also use the title of king, because the title king is used for men. There are Christians who have entered the debate to help them make the leap over the stumbling block, but it isn’t going quickly because the veil of Moses is very dark.

They must come to faith in Christ before the veil is lifted. The Old Testament is full of detail that had the Jews fully followed the Lord as Joshua and Caleb did, they would have understood by the moving of the Holy Spirit and would have come to faith after becoming the necessary slayers of Christ. It was in the Temple that they were tested by Jesus, then judicially blinded for unbelief, John 9:40-41, Mark 4:12, according to Isaiah 6:9-10. Even though God said they would be blinded in the same chapter they are studying today, Isaiah 6, still they do not believe.

The Genesis Prophecy of the New Testament Cross

Not all prophets are speaking prophets. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were prophets in parable form, the things they did were their prophesies. Their names, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are the prophesy of the three crosses which present mankind with a choice. Today the meaning of the three crosses has been lost and people just see it as symbolic of Calvary.

The prophetic play act of the Sacrifice of Isaac starring Abraham as God, and starring Isaac as Jesus Christ, God’s only son, featuring God as the narrator.

Abraham had two sons, so taking Isaac from among the sons of Abraham was prophetic of Deuteronomy 18:18 in that Jesus would be ‘That Prophet’ that would rise from among his brethren. Abraham, as God, raised the knife and began to slay, depicting God sacrificing his only son on the cross, the altar. When Isaac got up off the altar alive, it was a prophecy of the Resurrection. Man has been given parts of this prophecy, but I am the only person or preacher I have found that interprets it this way. Jesus said, Abraham saw my day and was glad, John 8:56. I hope this blesses you.

Isaac’s twin sons represent the choice to believe on the right, or to reject on the left and to be forgotten, as Esau rejected and was forgotten and never mentioned again. The Western nations read from left to right and Israel and the Eastern nations read from right to left; Esau on the left is the first son of Isaac, and Jacob on the right is the second son. The image below of the three crosses I created is laid out according to this paragraph.

God says only faith pleases him, Hebrews 11:6. We, the gentiles, being originally rejected as Esau must come to faith in Christ at the cross. The Hebrews being born in faith are to have faith already, but must come to Christ the same way, in repentance at the cross, as they did when they believed John the Baptist. We in the West see Esau first and they in the East see Jacob first, but both arrive at the Cross and if not, the gentile remains Esau, and Jacob becomes Esau, they are twins, two of the same family tree. Abraham is the root, Isaac is the trunk and his sons are the two branches that form as the tree begins to grow upward.

Both Esau and Jacob are criminals who broke the Law of God, but the thief on the right accepted Christ as Savior and was saved. Jacob’s name means heel catcher or thief. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, talked about his sheepfolds, only the sheep will be saved, those who accept him.

“31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, Matthew 25:31-34.

The Sons Of Jacob Are The Barren Fruit Branches

God began to open up the meaning of the names of Jacob’s sons to me in about 2016, but I didn’t receive the full revelation diagram until 2023. Here is an image of the meaning. Most know the wilderness camp was formed in the shape of a cross in Numbers 2, but no credit is given to Jacob’s wives as the evangelists. The name Levi is the root of the Hebrew word for marriage. Joseph is the son who is not a tribe because he is the prophecy of the sinless Son of God who came down to the prison to hang on the cross. Levi is uncounted and considered an instrument of cruelty, the slayer of the sacrifice, and prophetic of the uncounted multitudes of Christians.

The picture is the sons of Jacob who form the cross shape, and Joseph who was called out of Egypt, Hosea 11:1, and would forgive all his brethren, Luke 23:34, Genesis 41:51, who would hang on the tree, Deuteronomy 21:22, Isaiah 53.

The timeline of the Jews ends at the Cross and will be picked up again at the Second Coming, after they have received the Leviticus chapter 26 seven times punishment, The Tribulation, The Time of Jacob’s Trouble.

There are four verses that describe Jesus Christ unburdening himself from the faithless Jews as he puts on the High Priesthood of the order of Melchizedek.

“And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind (the Holy Spirit),” Revelation 6:13. (Unripe figs, the unbelieving Jews)

“33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. 34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. 35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares deceit,” Job 15:33-35. (Unripe grape, the unbelieving Jews)

“Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well (in Ephraim, Samaria); whose branches run over the wall (of Jerusalem), Genesis 49:22. (The vine stump (Jesus Christ) grows branches (Holy Spirit Baptized believers) that bear fruit as it grows over the wall of Jerusalem to the whole world, and a fruitful bough is also known as The Branch of righteousness in Jeremiah 33:15. From this verse Joseph is the parable of Messiah who came down to the prison, he went down to Egypt from Israel, do you see it now? Only as The Vine grows outward from Jerusalem does it begin to produce fruit for God.)

“In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness (the fruitful bough) to grow up unto David (as the Son of David); and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land, Jeremiah 33:15.”

Jacob prophesied in Genesis 49:10 “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him (Jesus Christ) shall the gathering of the people be.” The people were supposed to be the Jews, but they rejected, judging themselves unworthy, so he was sent to the Gentiles, Acts 13:46. The people were to transition their faith from animal sacrifices to the Messiah, but they refused.

“Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you (The Jews): but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles,” Acts 13:46. (They made the choice to reject of their own will, and would not say they judged themselves unworthy unless they had made this choice.

John The Baptist Cut Down The Fig Tree To Reveal The Vine

John the Baptist cut down the Fig Tree to reveal The Vine, Matthew 3:10, Luke 3:9.

Jesus cursed the barren fig tree (Judaism), Matthew 21:19-20, as a symbol of Judaism unable to produce fruit for God.

“And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire (Hell).”

“Binding his (God’s) foal (Jesus Christ) unto the vine (Israel), and his ass's colt (the one he rode on into Jerusalem) unto the choice vine (Jesus Christ); he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes (his own cluster, his blood), Genesis 49:11.

Jesus said, “I am the vine,” John 15:1, 15:5, Genesis 49.

Just as the Prophets said.

Moses was on the ground in the camp, he knew all these things. Those of you who are religious only say women have no place, but it was women who proclaimed the Cross first. It is written in their birth announcements of their sons names.

When you make the Word of God theology rather than parables to be illuminated, you err greatly. Tradition makes the word of God of none effect, Matthew 15:6.

Jesus Christ Is The Vine, The Branch, The Fruitful Bough, The Trellised Vine That Runs Over The Wall Of Jerusalem All Around The World Delivering The Wine of The Gospel By Evangelists Wherever It Goes

The barren and cursed fig tree needed to be cut down to reveal the vine.

The church was born out of the vine, not the fig tree. This is the scriptural and prophetic transition from the Jewish religion (Barren Fig Tree) to the Church which is the Order of Melchizedek (The Vine).

The Septuagint verses contain Greek words that were not easily translated, so they dropped them. The full picture of Jesus as The Vine as he proclaimed comes from Jacob’s prophecy, and from the Septuagint where the words “τῇ ἕλικι” were dropped because they didn’t understand the reference to “The Helix” which is a coil of wire used to train a vine to a trellis. Jesus was the trellised vine fettered to the colt of a donkey as he rode into Jerusalem to shouts of Hosanna, “Save Us” . Figuratively, a picture of a crucified vine stump.

In a vineyard, vines are the stumps, and the branches are the new growth that springs from the stump. In Genesis 49:11 the first usage of the word vine means Israel, the second usage personifies the Vine as the Choice Vine or Helixed/Trellised Vine in the Septuagint.

Jesus never explained why he called himself the vine. Now you know where his reference to The Vine comes from.

These are the highlights that you as a Jew or an unbeliever need settled, most likely to come to faith. I say highlights, because within this teaching it only goes deeper when you begin to investigate the other prophecies. The Old Testament was called the Dark Mysteries, because there was no Light. The modern church has never known the Old Testament as a series of parables. After I am gone, perhaps there will be one who is raised up with faith to believe more that what they are taught in liberal Bible colleges that blaspheme the Holy Spirit and make Christianity into psychology and philosophy.

Man Does Evil And The Sentence Against Him Is Not Executed Speedily So They Say There Is No God - But The Execution Of The Sentence Is Slow As A Mercy In Hopes They Will Repent…But Will You Repent?

“11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him. 13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he fears not before God.” Ecclesiastes 8:11-13

Repentance Means The Soul Decides To Change Direction

Nonbelievers, Agnostics (those on the fence), even Atheists look for an emotion in their bodies, because the flesh only understands emotion, but the event of salvation, which is God’s intervention to save, occurs after a decision of the will to choose God’s way upon conviction of the Holy Spirit. The faith needed to be convicted of sin and to repent comes from hearing the word of God, Romans 10:9-10. Usually in a sermon, sometimes in a conversation, sometimes when catastrophe strikes.

Conviction is not condemnation. Conviction does not generate the fear of condemnation, rather, it produces an inward agreement that God is trying to get hold of you. Many times people have nagging questions inside them, “Am I saved?” or “Will I Go To Heaven?” And these questions do not cease. These questions are from the Holy Spirit. Those fully taken over by Satan do not have these questions because their conscience is seared. A seared conscience cannot hear God.

Each Fallen Person Needs (Usually) A Biblical Answer To Some Spiritual Question Inside Them In Order To Come Into Agreement With God

Even with my experience with God, I still had to come to God the same way, in repentance and by a decision of my will and continued repentance in mourning my sins. Repentance is what removes Satan’s sin rights. With repentance it’s possible to cast out the demons and loose yourself from the curses of men and Satan and to break the soul ties formed from sex outside God’s Law.

Hollywood’s depiction of demon infestations is inaccurate. There are so many books written by deliverance workers today about their own deliverances and experience helping other people to get free. First, you must make a decision, then you must repent, then you must learn how to know when God is talking to you, which is through experience in answered prayer, through his word, or directly. It’s something you have to learn, just like you went to college to prepare yourself for your career. You must learn to distinguish the voice of the Lord. In the Old Testament it took wilderness or desert experiences, aloneness with God to learn his voice. This still happens today for many.

I wanted salvation, but I couldn’t believe. The questions wouldn’t go away, they got worse, but I still could not mentally agree. Later I learned it was because of the curses of Satan and my bloodline upon me. Here’s the simple thing I did, and you can do the same…the more the demons caused me to think God was not for me, the more the Holy Spirit drove those nagging questions about God into my mind…

Finally, I told God out loud in Jesus’ name that I have decided to believe what's in the Bible until I could actually believe.

In my unbelief I repented and asked for help to believe, Mark 9:24. Then, I set myself to read the Bible and to pray in repentance and to worship. I did not join a church, mainly because the people in the churches I visited didn’t understand me or my unbelief. I say to you, don’t reject God and his word because of people or your unbelief. And do not entangle yourself in a religion. Religious spirits exist and they are of Satan. Satan is religious and he makes men religious and by this, men reject the power of God.

One day (Sept 10, 2013) there came a moment when I lifted my head and all of a sudden I believed. It wasn’t because I had come to any conclusion, I just suddenly believed every word in the book even though I hadn’t read them all. It was supernatural. You make a decision to believe and ask him to help you, you begin to study and be faithful to continue and ask him your questions and he will supply. His will is for you to be saved and born again. Man has no answers but the Bible actually does have all the answers.

God is not religious. He desires to save you. It is out of thankfulness that you will worship him, not because you are told by religious people to do it. Fallen man cannot understand the thankfulness that wells up from the soul after Salvation. But fallen man can understand that a decision needs to be made. The Book of James was written by Jesus’ brother and he was an unbeliever who tried to have Jesus killed by telling him to start telling everyone he was the Messiah. Yes, this is in the Gospel of John! James didn’t believe until Jesus appeared to him after his resurrection. James makes provision for even the unbelievers like me to get saved. And I was saved in the book of James.

You speak to God out loud, because it is out of the mouth that the heart of man, the real you, not the demonically inspired you, speaks

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks,” Luke 6:45.

Doctrines of Demons

Jesus said, “This people draws near unto me with their mouth, and honors me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men,” Matthew 15:8-9.

God gave his doctrines or teachings in the word of God, but the Jews and even Pastors in America today have changed God’s teachings into commandments of men.

Paul prophesied, “Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron,” 1 Timothy 4:1. (KJV says ‘devils’, others say ‘demons’, ‘demons’ is the correct Greek.)

The modern church has been in apostasy for about 100 years. This has given rise to the popularity of demonic and humanistic false religions and a continuation of eastern religions in America. While revival has come and gone several times, it hasn’t really taken hold. The Holy Spirit is not honored and not sought by many. However, scratch the surface of this evil culture and you’ll find the true church walking in power with God on the fringes.

The word ‘Doctrine’ means ‘Teaching’.

Gentiles all have demons or have been delivered from demons because as Gentiles our bloodlines hated God and God cursed them who hated him. You don’t know where the witch or the bastard is in your bloodline 4 to 10 generations ago. What God has cursed, belongs to Satan. Jesus said to the Jews, you are of your father the Devil, John 8:44, and he told his disciples they were evil, but that God was still willing to give them his Holy Spirit if they asked him, Matthew 7:11, Luke 11:13. The Jews had demons and that’s why Jesus cast them out in the synagogues. They accused him of what they were guilty of. Most in church today have demons they have not cast out, even though they may have repented. But churches that bring in deliverance ministers with the Holy Spirit Baptism cause the demons to manifest and they can be cast out. The Holy Spirit causes them to manifest, not the worker.

The church is to be without spot or wrinkle or blemish, Ephesians 5:27. These are unrepented sins and demons. But the church does not believe in the Holy Spirit Baptism, and they blaspheme the Holy Spirit in teaching against the Baptism as demonic. Therefore, they are left as vessels of dishonor. The vessels of honor, are those honored by God the Father with the Holy Spirit Baptism, his presence. Cessation is a lie, a doctrine of demons. Romans 9:21, 1 Thessalonians 4:4, Matthew 12:30-31.

“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad. (Preachers who don’t have the Baptism with tongues) Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers (Serpent’s offspring), how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks,” Matthew 12:30-34.

Pastors who preach those who are filled with the Spirit and speak in tongues, are demonic or of the devil, are the same as the Jews who told Jesus the Holy Ghost resting upon him was a demon, Matthew chapters 10 and 12, Mark chapter 3, Luke chapter 11. God forgives those who were ignorant while unsaved, meaning those who were not yet convicted for salvation, but he does not forgive those who are learned in the scriptures and have been appointed teachers of the flock.

Doctrine #1 of Demons - “Cessation”

Once you are delivered of the demons that hold you back, you cannot object to God’s ways, it’s impossible. You were made to serve the Lord. Once those spirits that hate God are gone, you cannot deny God. And anything that whispers against the word of God is demonic and you are to bind it and cast it out if you are bothered by it again.

Pastors who have not been delivered are those with demons and preach doctrines of demons. Cessation is the 1st Doctrine of Demons because the Baptism is the personal power of God to help you deliver yourself and others. Your faith is to stand in the literal power of God as proof of your faith, not in all the wisdom of men who explain away the Baptism and tongues because they don’t have it, 1 Corinthians 2:5. We are to have the effectual working Power of God for miracles and to cast out demons by the authority of Jesus Christ, Ephesians 3:7. The church is to be glorious and full of power. But it’s not, because of denial and unbelief, leaving the demons in place.

Doctrine of Demons #2 - “A Christian Can’t Have Demons”

You are spiritually what you believe. Jesus said, “according to your faith be it unto you,” Matthew 9:29.

Doctrine of Demons #2 says that if you’re a Christian you can’t have a demon. Churches today are filled with demons living in Christians because they believe this doctrine, so they don’t seek deliverance and are religious only.

Paul himself had a demon the whole time he preached the Gospel. He didn’t have a choice because God assigned it to him. He called it The Thorn, 2 Corinthians 12:7. So yes, Christians can be baptized in the Spirit speaking in tongues doing miracles, and have demons. Paul’s demon was to control his pride. Nothing like body pain to humiliate you.

Demons spoke through Peter and made him run away and deny Christ, Matthew 16:23, Mark 8:33. They can’t speak through you unless they are IN YOU.

There are many Christians and many pastors who have been delivered. Paul said to examine yourself to see whether you be in the faith, 2 Corinthians 13:5. So believe the words on the page and do so.

Doctrine of Demons #3 - “A Christian Can’t Have Demons If They Are Baptized With The Holy Spirit With Tongues”

Doctrine of Demons #3 says if you have the Holy Spirit living in you, you can’t have any demons, because the Holy Spirit is the occupier of your vessel. But the Holy Spirit was given to get the demons out! Mark 16:17. Believing this doctrine of demons preached by many evangelists and pastors means you may be Holy Ghost baptized but you won’t have any faith to cast out your demons, so you will suffer from oppression, depression, anxiety, addictions, lust, and disease as they work in your body to kill you.

Doctrine of Demons #3 is the leading cause of death among Holy Spirit filled Christians. They can’t live holy dressed in the Armor of God which is holiness and righteousness, because Satan keeps using the demons in them to steal their armor and they don't believe what Jesus said to do about it, which is to bind the strong man, and cast him out. Matthew 12:29, Luke 11:21-22.

“21 When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace. ( This is talking about the Christian armed in righteousness, who is to be the stronger one keeping his goods in peace.)

22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him (demons), and overcome him (the Christian), he (the strong man) takes from him (the Christian) all his armor wherein he trusted, and divides his spoils (among all the demons involved in the attack). (This is talking about Satan stealing the Christian armor of God because that Christian hasn’t obeyed and still has demons that make him weak in battle, chinks in the armor cause all the armor to be stolen. And here is the battle, to keep the armor in place.

Keys Generally to Dealing With Demons

They don’t expend effort until you become dangerous to them.

You must wield the Sword of the Spirit under the power that comes only through the Baptism in the Holy Ghost with tongues to get free, to break the curses and soul ties and cast out the demons. Repentance removes their rights, but if you don’t cast them out, and loose yourself from the curses and soul ties, and live holy, they don’t have to leave. They will return, Matthew 12:44.

You will go through a boot camp of sorts with God as you seek deliverance. It’s easier to find a worker than to do it on your own.

God said they will be cast out little by little to teach you to war, not all at once, Exodus 23:30, Deuteronomy 7:22, Judges 3:1-4. “Little by little” means you’ll be in battles until your behavior conforms to the holiness God desires, not perfection, not holier than thou, not religious, but a renewed mind that knows God and operates in righteousness and by faith in Christ. This is the war. Not against flesh, but persons without bodies, as Derek Prince would say. Paul called it a wrestling match, because you will wrestle with them in your own body to get them to release you, and there will be pain.

Once you are clean, they have no right to hinder you. Yet you will still be attacked. Enemies do not stop trying to hinder their victims. You are subject to them as long as disobedience to the Word reigns in your life and attitudes. As long as you do the will of the Prince of the World, Satan, it’s very hard to hear from God. But once you have obeyed, it is not hard at all. Through the Baptism he is in us. But not many believe, Isaiah 28:12-13, many want to receive but they fall backward away from it and the battle to get free, and simply say it’s too hard. Jesus said those who endure to end will be saved, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13. Not those who give up part way along.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me,” John 14:30. (Means while you serve Satan in lack of obedience, it’s hard to hear from God)

By now, you should be seeing that all doctrines of demons have to do with denying the power of God while preaching and teaching the Bible. They fear God, they like living and experiencing the lusts of your flesh and the pain in your body. And most of all they enjoy being able to select humans as their personal eternal slaves while denying the Holy Spirit.

This Is What I Have Learned

God is Love, and his love is to teach his intelligent creatures what they need to know to journey back into agreement with him. Deliverance is the children’s bread, which means you need to be saved in order to be delivered. Jesus told Gentiles their faith made them whole, faith is necessary before deliverance. The obligation of the fallen human is to desire God and to return to holiness and to forsake the lusts of the flesh, to put off the old man and God has promised to help you.

When you are delivered, the Holy Spirit should come in if he has not before, and you will speak in other tongues. This is only the first step, now you must learn to keep your deliverance by continuing in the path of sanctification through repentance and reading and eating the word of God. Your spirit gains strength by chapter and verse revelation.

This life in the flesh is a test inside Satan’s kingdom. If you say God isn’t real because bad things happen, you are missing all that God is dealing with inside Satan’s kingdom to save mankind. Bad things happen. There are seemingly good people who are destroyed. That doesn’t mean God doesn’t exist. We cannot make God into what we want him to be. We must come to him and obey what is written, just as he does.

God is serious and your Christian reward depends upon your obedience. If you evangelize millions but never cast out your demons, you haven’t obeyed and you preach to a church full of demons. You might still be saved, but what a terrible life you’ve had as one of the five virgins who failed to put oil in your lamp.

Best Order To Read The Gospels

Read the Gospel of Luke, then John, then Mark, then Matthew. In this order, you’ll see Matthew encompasses them all as a frame, but you cannot see it by reading Matthew first.

Why Doesn’t God Appear?

Many keep asking this question from the Athiest script. The answer is simple, because the Jews in Exodus told him to stop appearing because they feared him. This is the answer. But those who are pure in heart, Jesus said, will see God, Matthew 5:8. I’m not special, I obeyed. That’s all. And it’s very hard to obey things we cannot see. But you in your life have acted on understanding without proof for worldly things, so there’s no excuse. Part of God’s glory is man obeying the book and going to war against the enemy without ever seeing God visibly. Those who believe without seeing are blessed, John 20:29.

A Short List of Holy Ghost Baptized Published Authors Who Were Demonized Before Learning How To Cast Them Out Who Have Been Given Biblical Revelation To Enable The Church To Take The Battle To the Gates of Hell

This is a short but effective list of God’s gifts in the earth to aid the study of deliverance and put it into practice.

1. Jesus Christ (The Author and Finisher of your faith)

2. Peter the Apostle (His epistles hold the keys to effective repentance)

3. Smith Wigglesworth (Overcoming example of Christ in a broken human vessel)

4. Derek Prince (Revelatory foundations for all deliverance activities. Prince’s ministry is still ongoing all around the world through his training and recorded videos and books. The US office is in North Carolina)

5. Win Worley (Deliverance ministry following Derek Prince’s teachings. Worley delivered many churches across America, his books and Diary can be found on eBay, at ABE, or on the WRW website if they have stock, or on YouTube people have posted his mass deliverance videos which you can partake of.)

6. John Eckhardt (Prayers that help break bloodline curses. He was mentioned by Win Worley in his Diary of an Exorcist)

7. Howard Pittman (Revealed the organization of Satan in the second heaven)

8. Frank Hammond (Effective deliverance ministry)

9. Roberts Liardon (Church historian author of books about Holy Ghost Baptised Preachers. God called him to write so the church would have record of God’s Generals and all that they did as examples for believers to follow)

10. Alex Pagani (One of the new deliverance pastors and has received Biblical revelation in Nehemiah and Psalm 149. A wild preacher for these wild days, but a serious and studious author. Read his books.)

Holiness Is The Armor Of God

Holiness is the armor of God, and you achieve it through repentance in the sanctification process. It is not religious. It is a mourning of sin, exposing all your evil ways to yourself and to God, admitting these things before him, and asking to be changed and healed, forgiving those who hurt you. It is a continual self examination of your thoughts and actions knowing that you will be continuously besieged by Satan to throw you off your course. And the battle only becomes more and more real as you learn to bind and loose and cast out demons under the power of the a Holy Spirit. Are you called to war? Will you accept the challenge to become untemptable? The end of the sanctification process is becoming untemptable as to your sins in that you’ll see the temptations coming, and you’ll take no action to carry out the temptation. Being no longer carried away by your lusts as James says.

Just quoting Ephesians 6:11 doesn’t cut it. Ephesians 6:11 tells you what to do but doesn’t say how to do it. This post is attempting to crack the nut open on deliverance for you, but even more so to point you to the armor which is only obtained through repentance. We are to follow Christ in righteousness.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you,” Matthew 6:33.

• Using Peter’s keys of the kingdom to open the Strait Gate to the narrow way. He writes how to behave in prayer when the world is fighting back against your withdrawal from it.

• Conform yourself to the character of Christ in repentance.

• Put on the Holy Spirit Baptism with tongues so you can walk in the Spirit.

• The Armor will be added unto you. See?

Imagine what you can do for God and man then. God has imagined it, and has made it come to pass in many lives. God is impartial, get onto his narrow way, and see miracles in your own life.

Stay tuned, I have another installment of my own testimony coming out.

How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (““) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the verses in the Bible. I encourage you to read them, how else will you know if I’m quoting correctly? My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself.

This is the duty of the Scribe (writer) / Teacher (explainer) Matthew 13:52

I have added parentheses to the KJV verses to emphasize the point being made, rather than leave the reader to figure it out on their own. Unless otherwise noted, all scripture is quoted from the King James Version which exists in the Public Domain.

Let’s Deal With Daniel’s Prophecy and Document The New Testament Fulfillments

Too many believe it was Jesus Christ who prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple and those who refute the prophecy claim Daniel never wrote his book. Well, Daniel did write his book, and the mysteries have been revealed to unlock the events of the end times. It was not Jesus Christ who prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, but Daniel the Prophet. Jesus Christ simply reminded the priests and Pharisees, confirming Daniel’s prophecy, Matthew 24:15, Mark 13:14.

I’m also going to explain via scripture why the church age seems so long and the Lord appears to tarry until the mocking is at a fever pitch. It’s all in scripture, and confirmed by Jesus, it just takes the Holy Spirit to reveal it. This article was going to be very short, but then the Lord wanted it to be longer. This will answer many nagging questions, the same as all my other posts. And from this post I will take a couple sections and make them into Light Snacks.

“Most Holy” always refers to things about Messiah.

Moses said ‘That Prophet’ Would Speak The Words Of His Father

“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren (Genesis 49:8), like unto thee (like you Moses), and will put my words (the words of the Prophets) in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he (Jesus) shall speak in my name, I will require it of him (he shall die in his sins).”

Deuteronomy 18:18-19.

The Words Of God The Father Are Found In The Words Of The Prophets

A prophet like Moses would be born among the Jews, and God would put the words in his mouth that had already been spoken by the Prophets, and any that do not believe his words will be put to death, which means they will go to hell if they do not repent. Jesus Christ in the Gospels is the most terrifying prophet of them all. His words, his father’s words, are final. Verse 19 applies to whosoever, not just the Jews. God changes not. What he spoke in the Old he spoke in the New. So those of you who refuse to read the Old Testament are in for a big surprise.

“Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause,” John 15:20-25 (Psalm 109:3.)

God gave them blanket salvation as his people when they followed him, from the days of Moses until the Cross. But when Deuteronomy 18:19 came to pass when Jesus began preaching, they were not serving God, they did not know God, and they refused to hearken unto God’s words spoken by Jesus, therefore he blinded them until they come to him for salvation.

The Jews did not know God when Jesus came into his public ministry, as prophesied by Malachi the Prophet. John the Baptist was the greatest prophet because he brought all of Judah, David’s tribe, to repentance. But the tribe of Levi (the priests) did not repent. Levi was the designated slayer of the sacrifice, as he chose to become when he slew the men of Shechem. In God’s mind all that was left of Israel were the tribes of Judah and Levi, Judah and Jerusalem as prophesied by Ahijah the Prophet, 1 Kings 11. The tribes of Judah and Levi were all that was needed to make sure the Cross was carried out to provide mankind with an escape from the penalty of the Law, which is spiritual death.

In Genesis is found, the foundation of the Cross and all the players, the children of Jacob, the children of Israel, who self-selected their roles. Yes, they self-selected their roles from the beginning. God merely waited to see their behavior, their actions determined the prophecy of their end time roles. And then Jacob gave the prophecy in Genesis 49. Later Moses prophesied more details.

You don’t need understanding of scripture to be saved, but you cannot understand scripture until you are saved.

Israel Born In One Day - Isaiah 66:8 Fulfilled May 14, 1948

The Lord told Daniel to seal up the book until the time of the end. The time of the end is when the last week, the ‘last seven’ is about to take place. And the set up for the last week began the day when Isaiah 66:8 was fulfilled, May 14, 1948. The nation of Israel was born in one day.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased,” Daniel 12:4.

Do we not run to and fro with increased knowledge? Yes we do.

Daniel’s 70-7s The Prophecy Of Jesus Christ And The Roman Destruction Of The Temple And Jerusalem And The Tribulation

“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (Jewish Race) and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem), to finish the transgression (7 year Tribulation)** (see Leviticus 26:18,21,24,28), and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity (The Cross), and to bring in everlasting righteousness (Jesus Christ), and to seal up the vision and prophecy (to finish the work of God as a covenant for man to be saved), and TO ANOINT THE MOST HOLY (Matthew 26:12-13, Mark 14:8-9, Luke 7:46, John 12:7 ) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (Ezra 6:1-3, Nehemiah 2:1) unto the Messiah the Prince (Entrance into Jerusalem, Matthew 21), shall be seven weeks (to restore and rebuild), and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times (49 years to rebuild). And after threescore and two weeks (62 x 7 years = 483 years) shall Messiah be cut off (the Cross in April 33 AD), but not for himself (to save believers): and the people (the Romans) of the prince that shall come (Nero) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (70 AD); and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined (desolations until 1948),” Daniel 9:24-26.

I’ll take the bold scripture text above and use it as section headers below:

Seventy Weeks To Finish The Transgression Of The Jews & Jerusalem

**Notice above it says 70 weeks (sevens or 70 7’s) or 490 years total. Subtract 7 sevens to rebuild the city and temple after Babylonian captivity (49 years). Subtract 62 sevens (434 years) to arrive at the 33 AD Crucifixion. Then, one week of years remains, 7 years, to punish the Jews and Jerusalem for their transgression of unfaithfulness and unbelief as promised in Leviticus chapter 26, the seven times punishment, the time of Jacob’s Trouble. Three blocks of time that will play out in the future after Daniel. By this time Daniel was a very old man and he knew he would never see these events.

Modern preachers do not teach about the Jewish Tribulation from the book of Leviticus. But there it is on the page in black and white. They jump to telling about the Antichrist prophecy and how he will confirm a covenant of peace, and it can be confusing to the reader when studying alone. So I’m closing the gap for you. The Leviticus 26 “Seven Times” punishment is the prophesied Great Tribulation, also called the Time of Jacob’s Trouble by Jeremiah the Prophet, Jeremiah 30:7. Jeremiah would not have known without understanding Leviticus 26, and God would not have given him a message that was not previously written in the Law of Moses.

To Make An End Of Sins And Reconciliation For Iniquity And Bring In Everlasting Righteousness (To Bring Jesus Christ Into Jerusalem)

To make an end of sins is to remove sins previously only covered by the blood of animal sacrifices under the Law. Only the blood of Jesus Christ spilled on the altar, the Cross, removes sins. Today the sacrifice is repentance with faith in his Blood.

Reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness was done at the Cross. Jesus is the God-Man, God in the flesh, God who took on human flesh to be accounted among the sinners to be the sin bearer for all of humanity, like the sinless animal sacrifices. A sinless animal was needed in human form because the DNA of man was corrupted. We see the ram with its horns caught in a thicket of thorns, a crown of thorns in the story of the sacrifice of Isaac, then we see the tent in the wilderness large enough for one royal person dwell in. A parable mystery: the Savior would be sinless and men’s faith would transfer from believing animal blood cleansed to believing the blood of God’s sinless son would cleanse them and put an end to sin. The Jews called themselves the sons of God, so it wasn’t abnormal for Jesus, the one born among them to call himself the Son of God, especially when the Prophet Agur in Proverbs 30:4 announces there is a Son of God and demands to know his name.

In typology “[Moses chose] rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them,” Hebrews 11:25-28.

The transfer of faith from the blood of animals to the blood of one sacrificial substitute man as pictured in Isaiah 53 (which they refuse to believe), is the stumbling block of the Jews. They also refuse to believe the prophecy of Jacob in Genesis 49 and the prophecies of Zechariah whom they murdered between the altar and the temple. Their unbelief even in the God of the Old Testament keeps them from coming to faith in Christ. Therefore God cloaked their understanding with the vail of Moses from the wilderness camp that they should not see until they believe Jesus Christ is the Savior.

“And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished (the Law): But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses (the Law) is read, the vail is upon their heart (they don’t adhere to the Law even when they say they go to Temple). Nevertheless when it (a Jew) shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away,” 2 Corinthians 3:13-16.

Jacob’s prophecy that the priestly order of Levi would be abolished is not believed. In the wilderness when the people saw God and heard his voice, they wanted to hide from him and told him to no longer appear to them. Moses went up on the mountain where his flesh died and his spirit glowed through his skin and they feared, so Moses put a vail on his face, so they could not see because they told God they didn’t want to see. God gave them what they asked for, a God they cannot see.

Because the Jews refused to see, God put a spiritual vail over their hearts the same as the vail over Moses’ face because they don’t want to be saved, they want no part of it outside of their religious practice. Even today. They continue to conduct their religion but there is no faith in it, and Kabbalah is Babylonian witchcraft as was shown to Ezekiel. When Jesus was at the Temple he meted out judicial blindness upon the Jews who refused to believe because they said they could see but did not, John 9:39-41. Before the Cross they were blind, and after the Cross they were blinded for unbelief. But at any time they come to faith in Christ the vail will be lifted. Paul was blinded on the road to Damascus because the judicial blindness had hold of him. He remained blind until he could see, then the scales fell from his eyes.

We are reconciled to God when we accept Jesus Christ as Savior, the mediator/arbiter between God and man, as Job called for in Job 9:33. When we begin to follow him and learn of him and begin to change our behavior to conform to his behavior, no longer walking in our ignorant lusts but with the wisdom of the Spirit, in Christ, there is now no condemnation to those who are actively repenting and seeking to be led down the narrow way that leads to life.

As you repent you come out of the world. The world fights back and it's up to you to keep your faith. You may still sin, but God will change you according to your repentance. Many call themselves Christian but have yet to find the strait gate.

“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able,” Luke 13:24.

Moses was the type of Christ accounting himself with the Hebrew slaves rather than with the Pharaohs even though he might have been the next Pharaoh, just as Jesus accounted himself among sinners even though he was God in the flesh.

Jesus Christ is The Law of God, The Word, The Truth, Everlasting Righteousness. He keeps the Law. Man cannot keep the Law, Paul said it was enmity against us to show us our sins. The Law laughed at us in condemnation. But throughout the Old Testament, the Lord in Hebrew would say, Yeshua, Jesus, Salvation.

God is holy, and only God knows all the intents of all the hearts. God keeps his Law and judges righteously. Because Christ came, the Law of Moses for salvation was abolished at the Cross. Now the glorified man Jesus Christ lives, the embodiment of the Cross. The Law no longer provides a covering for sin, however it contains the lessons to learn from and reading it will teach you to war in the Spirit and reading it will break curses off of you, just because you were obedient to read it. Many say they no longer have to read the Old Testament. That’s like saying you don’t have to honor your Father in Heaven because the Old Testament is where His words are written. What?

“And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness,” Psalm 9:8.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” John 1:1.

“Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6. This statement pulls from many verses in the OT.

“Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth,” Psalm 119:142.

Jesus Christ is the law of God, He is God, the Word, the Truth, Everlasting Righteousness. Thy law (Jesus Christ) is the truth (Jesus Christ).

To Anoint The Most Holy - Who Performed The Anointing?

Daniel 9:24 says the Most Holy would be anointed. The Most Holy refers to the Trespass Offering, the Sin Offering, and First Fruits Offering. All three point to Jesus Christ. He is the Holy One of Israel and the Old Testament Word of the LORD, God’s Servant, and Lord of Hosts, who sacrificed himself for our sins.

The anointing was performed by Mary, sister of Lazarus, in Bethany in Simon the Pharisee’s House. Simon the Leper, Matthew 26:12-13, Mark 14:8-9, Luke 7:46, John 12:3,7.

^“12 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.

¹³ Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.”

Matthew 26:12-13, Daniel 9:24

Mary the sister of Lazarus poured the alabaster box of oil onto his head, and she also washed his feet with her tears and dried them with her hair, John 12:3. The feet of homeless people are the most abused parts of their bodies, swollen and very painful with terrible toenails. This woman ministered unto the Lord when no one else would even ask a servant to wash his feet. This is what repentance looks like. A washing of filth away from your spirit with tears of thankfulness and reverence.

From The Going Forth Of The Commandment To Restore And To Build Jerusalem / The Street Shall Be Built Again And The Wall

There is a repetitive doublet in the next phrases as the blocks of time are laid out, which means it will come to pass. I am compressing them. Daniel 9:25 says there will be a command to rebuild, lay the street and build the wall again. Ezra holds the story of rebuilding the city the temple and the street. Nehemiah holds the story of rebuilding the wall.

Who gave the command and when did it go forth?

The Ancient Kings of Iran, Three kings of Persia:

These kings of Iran funded the rebuilding, had respect unto the God who dwelled in Jerusalem and they cursed all who would seek to destroy the work.

• King Cyrus II/Cyrus the Great (536-530 BC), decree 536 BC, Ezra 1:1.

• King Darius I (Hystaspes was his father) (521-485 BC), decree 522 BC, Ezra 4:24, 6:12. Darius I is King Ahasuerus, Esther’s husband, Ezra 4:6.

• King Artaxerxes Longimanus (464-425 BC King), decree 444 BC, Nehemiah 2:1.

Ezra mentions how the people of the land frustrated the rebuilding effort all the days of Cyrus until the reign of Darius, then mentions the enemies who wrote to Ahasuerus in the beginning of his reign. It means Ahasuerus is King Darius I. Ahasuerus was viceroy (a Satrap) to his father, and it would have been customary to acknowledge his name prior to his reign. This King Darius assessed a tribute upon his 120 provinces and was the first king to do so, and Esther 10:1 records this, matching historical records written about it outside of the Bible. He consolidated his provinces from 127 to 120 to effect the tax. Ahasuerus is King Darius I and he was known by other names in various languages from India to Egypt and because he had taxed the people and they resented him. Xerxes was not Esther’s husband, Darius was Esther’s husband.

The end of the captivity was marked by Cyrus’ Decree in his first year, 536 BC, many say 538 BC. It was about 80 years between Darius’ decree and Artaxerxes’ decree made in his 20th year (444 BC) to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. More years until the wall was rebuilt by Nehemiah, and this is why Zerubbabel was not Governor in Nehemiah’s time.

Unto Messiah The Prince

Jesus Christ is Messiah the Prince, because a prince is the son of a king. Son of King David, Son of God. The Lion, Ariel, is God the Father, and his whelp is his son, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Genesis 49:9. The lion is the king of the jungle, the nations of gentiles, and the young lion has a golden pelt with a black mane in its youth, just as I saw Jesus in heaven, all gold with black hair and a black beard. The hair on his head and the beard on his chin circling his face like the black mane of a young lion. The prophecies are accurate. Today lions are everywhere in Jerusalem, and the two lions carved into the Lion’s Gate are still there, even though Israelis don’t know what they mean. Satan is only like a lion in power over the unsaved, he is not the lion.

The Commandment to Restore Jerusalem - Three Decrees

Let’s Look At The Calculation Of Time From The Date Of The Decrees To Rebuild Jerusalem To The Crucifixion Year. Collectively the Decree of Artaxerxes In His 20th Year Starts The Clock

God Said 62 Weeks (7s) From Rebuilding To The Cross

There are pauses or distances between the blocks of prophetic years. First, 49 years to get the Temple, city, and wall rebuilt. Second, 434 years until Messiah is cut off. A total of 483 years from the going out of the command by Artaxerxes until the Cross. The last block of 7 years is to punish the Jews according to the promise in Leviticus 26. Because they were unfaithful, not because they crucified the Lord. Jesus needed to be slain because he was sinless and could not die a natural death. There are distances of time between the first and second and the second and third blocks of time to allow for human events, this is why God broke it down. The prophets understood the pauses. And God would not have given the calculations if he also had not prepared a person to understand the timing of his visitation as Isaiah and Jeremiah said would come. Their knowing the time of their visitation was a test of faith, and they failed the test, he came to his own and his own knew him not.

And After Threescore And Two Weeks (483 years) Shall Messiah Be Cut Off (The Cross In April 33AD), But Not For Himself (To Save Believers)

He died for us, not for himself. It was all done for us, Psalm 22:31. There are 483 prophecy years from the 20th year of King Artaxerxes when he decreed the wall should be built until the year of the Cross. Historical years are Gregorian calendar years as established by Pope Gregory in 1582. Today’s Hebrew calendar calculators online are based on the modern Jewish year of 365 days which has the same number of days as the Gregorian calendar. Daniel’s prophecy is based on the biblical 360-day year. Therefore, five days must be adjusted in the Jewish year calculations to calculate the biblical year of the Crucifixion.

Here’s my simple proof:

Modern Jewish calculator year for 444 BC = Jewish year 3317, 365-day year.

Less 483 prophecy years x 5 days / 365 days = -7, 5 day adjustment

Biblical year 444 BC 3310

Add 483 prophecy years 483

Gregorian year 33 AD 3793, Nisan 14-April 3rd*

Add back the 5 day adjustment 7

Modern Jewish calculator year 33 AD 3800, 365-day year

Proof of Biblical 360-day Year Calculation to Gregorian Year:

Hebrew year 3316 - 5000 + 1240 = Gregorian year 444 BC, the 7 year adjustment is rounded, therefore the base year here is 3316 and not the more accurate 3317 of the modern Jewish calculation.

Hebrew year 3793 - 5000 + 1240 = Gregorian Year 33 AD

* April 3, 33 AD, per Josephus, The Antiquities of the Jews/Book XVIII, 3:3, footnote 9 is the Gregorian month, day, and year of the Crucifixion, as determined in 1582 AD.

Consider also that Columbus, now known to have been a Jew was fleeing Catholic persecution in Spain decreed in 1492. Not a coincidence that he sailed away in 1492 to seek the new world, 92 years before Pope Gregory changed the calendar. Interesting isn’t it how Democrats have misled the public by making the people forget their history.

The Prince That Shall Come

God working through Satan’s principalities that controlled Pompey, Nero, Vespasian, and Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Jesus’ ministry began about 29-30AD and God gave the Jews 40 years to repent, Luke 13:8. From John the Baptist, born 6 months before Jesus, we know Jesus was about 30 when he went public, from his age of 30 to 70 AD was 40 years of testing. They did not repent so God ended their religion and the single place they could sacrifice animals because Jesus Christ was the last sacrifice and we are now to look to him alone for Salvation. As Jacob prophesied, Genesis 49:8,10.

Nero was the Caesar who commanded that Jerusalem and the Temple be destroyed. Nero’s name indeed is calculated as the number 666. However he, like Antiochus IV Epiphanes, is only a type of the end times Antichrist that Jerusalem will accept as her bridegroom. The most accurate type in all respects of who Antichrist will be was Antiochus IV Epiphanes for he did all that Daniel prophesied about The Antichrist. The Maccabees took him out. Satan will again attempt to deceive the world THE. EXACT. SAME. WAY.

The Distance Between The Cross And The Seven Year Tribulation Is The Feast of Appointed Weeks As Jeremiah Said - The Wheat Harvest Of The Gentile Church

“Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserves unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest,” Jeremiah 5:24.

The Feast of Weeks is the appointed weeks of the harvest. But notice, the number of weeks is not mentioned. The length of the church age is unknown to man, but known only to God, the number of weeks he himself appointed. We would like to know the number of weeks (sevens) until the Rapture, but it is not for us to know. On day 50 after the Cross, the Holy Spirit poured out in Jerusalem as the sound of a mighty rushing wind, and until today, believers are still being baptized in the Holy Spirit speaking in other tongues. It is for all and the only thing standing in the way of receiving it is the failure to ask for it and the failure to forgive.

Peter said there were be times of refreshing:

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord,” Acts 3:19

The outpourings of the Holy Spirit in times such as Azusa Street and other ministries around the world are those times of refreshing.

Unbelievers Say The Rapture Is Not In The Bible

Greek: Harpazo / Latin: Rapturo / English: Rapture - Yes it’s taught in the Bible.

Paul said the Rapture is our Blessed Hope, Titus 2:13. Our hope is to be snatched (harpazo) away before the Tribulation, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Mark 13:28-27, Psalm 90.

Psalm 90 - Moses wrote, Israel may last 80 years if she has strength, but that all will be for naught, then we all fly away. In 2024, Israel is 76 years old. All preachers preaching the end times are synced, the Rapture is soon. If it wasn’t God’s message, only one or two would be preaching it. All are preaching it.

Jesus’ Words In John 5:28-29 - The Rapture

“28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

Who Goes In The Rapture?

Not every person who calls themselves “Christian” is part of the body of Christ. It’s up to you to ensure that you are part of his Ecclesia, the called out ones. The Ecclesia exists without church walls and without denominations, it exists by relationship alone with the risen savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ. If he doesn’t know you personally, if you haven’t followed him, you won’t be invited to the Wedding Feast.

Status Update: One seven remains to bring the Jewish remnant to salvation, and it will be carried out according to the books of Daniel, Zechariah and Revelation. The last week is for the Jews to stand alone to be punished by God for unfaithfulness according to Leviticus 26, and then to receive him as Messiah and be saved at the second coming, after 2/3rds of them are destroyed.

His feet will touch down and split the Mount of Olives on a cloudy day when the sun does not set and the Raptured and resurrected saints will be with him. And the day he returns is only known to the Lord. It wasn’t Jesus who prophesied, but Zechariah, the words of God his Father. Jesus simply reminded them.

“4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. 6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light,” Zechariah 14:4-7.

Testing at Each Place The Tabernacle of God Was Built

God tested them 40 years in the wilderness, 40 years at Shiloh, 40 years in Jerusalem. Each location was destroyed for lack of faithfulness.

Jesus walked contrary to the Priests and Pharisees because he said he would do so, see Leviticus 26:21, 23, 24, 28, 40, 41. Six verses. The Jews have no excuse. Leviticus is the first book of the Law that the Jews teach their children even today. They were and are willingly ignorant though the world is filled with the knowledge of the glory of God and our risen Savior, Numbers 14:21, Habakkuk 2:14, Psalm 8:1, 2 Peter 3:5, just as King David said it would be.

Christians Are Tested Too

Christians who are lively stones built into the Temple of God are all chastised and tested or we are not sons and daughters. Great faith is always tested. Read Hebrews chapter 12. Despise not the chastening of the Lord, Hebrews 12:5. But the Jews despise him, so God decreed that it would be Christians who would make them jealous, Romans 10:19, 11:11. Many Jews have come to Christ as a result. The prime directive in Israeli government is to build themselves up to be like the other nations, this will never be. God created them for himself, but until they turn to Christ and say, blessed be he who comes in the name of the Lord, He will not return, Psalm 118:26, Matthew 23:39, Luke 13:35.

Jesus spoke the words of his father from the words of the prophets:

“34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, Luke 13:34-35, Isaiah 10:3, Psalm 118:26.

“44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knew not the time of thy visitation, Luke 19:44, Daniel 9:26, Micah 7:4, Jeremiah 8:12, 10:15, 11:23, 23:12.

Today in 2024 unbelievers say what Peter said they would say:

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” For this they willingly are ignorant …” Willingly.

2 Peter3:5.

God’s Calendar Is Accomplished By The Feasts Fulfilled

Abraham was one man and isolation kept his faith. But a nation needs annual events (feasts) and faithful shepherds to help it remember God and his ways.

These feasts are God’s appointed feasts, performed annually on earth as reminders that the spiritual fulfillments will be coming in the future. Four of the seven Feasts have been fulfilled. Since they are God’s Feasts, he decides the timing of the fulfillments. The Church of Jesus Christ (not Mormons) is represented by the wheat harvest, the Feast of Weeks. Jesus is the First Fruits, the barley harvest because he came not needing any threshing, he was completely sanctified. The church must be harvested and undergo threshing to beat the chaff of sin and demons out once sins are repented, forgiven and ceased. Repentance removes the demons’ legal rights, but they must be cast out. I will briefly discuss the Feasts here, but certainly not in the detail they should be studied.

✅ Feast of Passover, fulfilled in Christ’s sacrifice. The Lamb was examined for blemishes by the Priests in the illegal trial. Pilate said he was innocent. Their hands were placed on him as the sacrifice when they slapped his face. He said no words because God said they had to make a voluntary decision of their own will to sacrifice him, Leviticus 1:3, Isaiah 53:7, John 11:49-51, Acts 8:32. The whole assembly was to kill the sacrifice between the two evenings, Exodus 12:6 and they did, the priests, the Romans, and the people together. Pilate could have stopped it, he didn’t, despite the pleading of his wife. Therefore, both Jews and Gentiles crucified Jesus. The whole of Leviticus chapter 1 is about the Crucifixion. I will write a future article about this as God gave me the pieces years ago.

✅ Feast of Unleavened Bread, fulfilled in Christ’s sacrifice. This feast is intertwined with the Feast of Passover and has to do with the inspection for leaven which is sin. This feast is a great topic for study, but in this article I give preeminence to the sacrifice. All Jewish men were required to be in Jerusalem for this feast, because this is a feast of repentance and searching for sin to repent of, all come to God the same way.

✅ Feast of First Fruits, fulfilled in Christ’s resurrection, the first begotten of the dead, Revelation 1:5. Christ, the Barley Harvest has been completed. The barley sheaf, the unleavened bread (not wheat and without sin) waved before the Temple as a wave offering, Exodus 29.

✅ Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost), fulfilled in the Holy Spirit outpouring 50 days after the Cross, see chapter two of the Book of Acts. Celebration of the 69th week of Daniel’s prophecy being completed. Celebration that the Wheat Harvest, salvation for gentile believers, is underway. Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Harvest, Matthew 9:38, Luke 10:2. Appointed weeks are for the harvest, Jeremiah 5:24. The number of appointed weeks are not known to man or to the Son of Man, Matthew 24:36. All Jewish men were required to be in Jerusalem for this feast because this is when the Holy Spirit would pour out and empower them to preach the Gospel.

⭕️ Feast of Trumpets, not yet fulfilled. Relates to the Rapture and the seven trumpet judgments upon Israel according to Leviticus 26 and Revelation 8-11. The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, Jeremiah 2:27-28, 30:7, see also Job 28:33.

⭕️ Feast of Atonement, not yet fulfilled. Relates to the second coming of Christ and how the remnant of Jews after the Tribulation will accept him in repentance as their Savior. Refer to the book of Zechariah.

⭕️ Feast of Tabernacles, not yet fulfilled. Relates to the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ reigning on the earth. All Jewish men were required to be in Jerusalem for this feast, because this is the feast of Christ dwelling on earth in the Millennium as the king of the world for 1,000 years.

Feast of Weeks Status - The Church Age - The Church Is The Wheat

As of 2024, 287 biblical weeks and one year have passed since 33 AD. The Feast of Weeks/Pentecost is ongoing today, but it’s about to come to a close. Believers are still being Baptised in the Holy Spirit with tongues despite the Devil’s effort to stop it through his doctrine of cessation. We know the end of the Harvest is near because all the signs Jesus mentioned are visible, and because the horsemen of Revelation are visible, even though we don’t yet know who their leader is who wears the crown on the white horse. The end of the Church Age is the end of the Feast of Weeks. The Jews were put away, until the gentile servants of God are fully gathered, the Order of Melchizedek, read Romans and Hebrews. The Rapture will happen to remove the body of Christ. For he will not be judged a second time, as was shown to Moses. The Rock will not be struck a second time. The Baptists are wrong. Paul said the Rapture will happen.

Let’s Do Some Math

This year is the Gregorian Year 2024, but we need to calculate how many biblical 7s or weeks since 33 AD. 2024 x 365 days / 360 days = 2052 biblical years - 33 biblical years prior to Pentecost = 2019 biblical years / 7 = 288.42 biblical weeks of harvest have passed since the year of Pentecost. 288 represents 287 full weeks plus 1 year. I have rounded the numbers since fractions only relate to less than one day. When Jesus said he would make it a quick work, I think he meant shorter work than to bring him to Jerusalem.

The Wheat Harvest Timeline is Counted As One Generation

“Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done,” Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32.

“A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation,” Psalm 22:30. (Again Jesus as the seed is mentioned.)

Being that God counts the entire number of years of the harvest of Gentiles as one generation, when Jesus said this generation will not pass away, he was referring to Psalm 22. The appointed weeks of harvest without number, Jeremiah 5:24. Man likes to count generations but the generation of uncounted born again Christians is not many generations, but one generation, and while they left their bodies when they died, they are alive, because God is the God of the living, not the dead, Matthew 22:32, Mark 12:27, Luke 20:38.

The Crucifixion Week

The crucifixion week in 33 AD began as Jesus rode into Jerusalem as The Trellised Vine fettered to a donkey (another planned article) with the crowd shouting “Hosanna (Save Us) Blessed be He who comes in the Name of the Lord,” fulfilling Jacob’s prophecy, Genesis 49:11, and fulfilling Daniel’s prophecy, Daniel 9:24. As Jesus, The Lamb, rode in through the gate, the High Priest was coming out of the gate to choose the Passover lamb for inspection on Nisan 10. They believe this was done at the Sheep Gate because it was built to facilitate bringing the sacrificial animals to the altar.

The Triumphal Entry cheering was orchestrated by the Holy Spirit as praise. But the same people crying “Save Us” cried “Crucify Him” not knowing that’s exactly how God planned to triumph over Satan, and it was planned so well that Satan didn’t know God would triumph over him by the Crucifixion. Satan assumed if he could kill God that he could ascend above the Most High.

“7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory,”1 Corinthians 2:7-8. The Princes here are Satan and his fallen angels.

He was Crucified four days after the Triumphal Entry of Nisan 10 on Nisan 14 as required by Exodus 12:6. April 3, 33 AD. Every aspect of the Feasts has a literal action in the natural and a spiritual fulfillment in Christ.

Come Lord Jesus, We Who Love Your Appearing Wait For You, Amen.

There is only ever more and more to learn from within the Bible text, because the Bible is a puzzle of parables and prophecies that build to the knowledge of God and you becoming a holy creature like him. God’s will for man is found in three verses, Leviticus 11:44-45, 1 Peter 1:16, 1 Thessalonians 4:3. Repentance is the way to sanctification and immunity to temptation. The Holy Spirit Baptism is necessary.

How This Article Came About

This was a revelation to me from God as I struggled to understand the seven vials of judgment in the Book of Revelation. I said in my article about the Trinity that I would write an article about the revelation that God has given me about the millennial kingdom of 1,000 years at a later date. The harvest of man is much greater in God’s plan than in man’s current interpretation of it in the book of Revelation. I consider this revelation to be the blessing God promised for studying the Book of Revelation. In my last article about why God destroyed the Tabernacle at Shiloh, I spilled the beans so I will copy that text with some edits here just to be sure it’s called out in a separate article. Some will read one and not the other.

What Happens In the Millennial Kingdom?

You need a good understanding of New Testament, Genesis, Revelation, Deuteronomy, and Proverbs to know how this is pulled together. But once you see it, it’s so obvious.

It has taken 1,000 years to create 8-9 billion people on the earth since Medieval times, even with wars, famine, disease, violence, and drugs. In the 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth called the Millennial Kingdom, Satan will be locked in the Pit, so there will be no temptation for the humans that remain after The Wrath. Once again they will go forth and multiply across the face of the earth. Each couple will potentially have more than 1,000 children including multiple births because there will be no death or disease and the Tree of Life will be available for food and medicine.

Any birth defects from the Fall will be healed by the servants of God or Jesus himself. It will be like the time of Adam, everyone living very long lives, and having many sons and daughters. Scientists have estimated that the earth as we know it could easily accommodate 100 billion people. Jesus will solve the inability of man to provide for the poor because he will overcome greed and the hardness of man’s heart.

At the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be loosed again to tempt humanity, and those who did not learn to repent and become sanctified will fail the test and they will go into the pit with Satan forever. Becoming sanctified is the putting on of the armor of God to become invincible against the enemy. It’s what it means to come through the furnace as pure gold all dross left behind, incorruptible. Those that stand the test will be glorified the same as we will be glorified at the rapture, that’s what Paul meant when he said we’d be changed in the twinkling of an eye before we go up.

I’ve seen Jesus, not as a kind human but in his glorified state at the throne. He’s all gold, skin and clothes and that giant belt John mentioned, with black hair pulled back severely into a small short queue and a neatly trimmed black beard that is close to his chin. He will rule visibly in Jerusalem and that’s how they will see him. A mighty king in his father’s glory. The one thing I realized is that the OT Prophets never described him even though they all saw him many times; I have concluded that they feared the people would make golden idols again against God’s command. Jesus said if you have a pure heart you will see God. He keeps his promise to those who become sanctified.

At Mount Sinai God hid himself because the people said they didn’t want to see or hear him because he terrorized them. He said he would send another like Moses to speak his words in the future. So Jesus came just as the Jews were removing the Torah, replacing it with their religious text called the Talmud. The Talmud is not of God, Luke 11:52. The abominations of Kabbalah and Baal worship inside the walls around Jerusalem sent them into Babylonian captivity. And still today the Rabbis in Jerusalem issue death threats to certain bible college founders because they teach how to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for salvation.

God has established a progressive revelation through the generations and the last round is to remove the Tempter while Jesus is reigning on earth, and provide millions of glorified teachers, the order of Melchizedek, the glorified Christians who will be kings and priests, with visible Holy Angels as civil law enforcement. Those humans will be born under the Law, fallen, they will still need to repent and ask for salvation, be water baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit baptism, and they will need to learn how to become holy through the sanctification process. God’s word is settled in heaven and he changes not. All must come to him the same way.

Only those who have been changed and made into a new creation with their minds renewed standing in the power of God through the Holy Spirit Baptism will stand the test when Satan is let out of the pit. The Jews had it the hardest without the Cross, this is why they will inherit the Government of God. The Christians stand by Faith only with the gifts and baptism of the Spirit, our promises are better, but we are told we must overcome to the end of our lives on the battlefield.

Humans in the Millennial Kingdom will have 100% of the knowledge taught to them, and they will see everything visibly. If they still refuse to be sanctified, like the generation left to die in the wilderness (Ezekiel Chapter 20), it’s their own choice. The glorified teachers will help them say prayers to rid themselves of sin and teach them to read the Bible and counsel them through the sin problems of the flesh.

Sin will not have dominion over them with Satan locked up, but in their fallen flesh with the lusts of the flesh, they will sin, and will still need to repent, the same as we come to Christ today and follow him down the narrow way, the path of sanctification. Their help will include not only our better promises but glorified teachers and angels to instruct them, and they will visibly see Jesus Christ on the throne in Jerusalem ruling over the nations.

Man is without excuse, Romans 1:20. In that day all the invisible things will be clearly seen. The animal sacrifices will remind them of the punishment that is due to them that Jesus bore for them.

The Millennial Kingdom will be the time for Jesus to tend his sheep and multiply the flocks throughout the world, before the war of Armageddon breaks out. In the church age he is selecting his servants, but the enormous harvest will come during the Millennial Kingdom.

“These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding,
And those who complained will learn doctrine.”

Many who preach the Word answer with the popular idea that “Selah” means “to consider what has been said.” While this is a reverent way to answer a question when you don’t have the answer, this idea is incorrect. I don’t speak Hebrew, I couldn’t parse the words, until today when I did some homework for this post. And I see online, better scholars than myself, however no one has really caught on to David’s usage. I’m the lucky one, it has been revealed to me and I’m going to stick with it.

Let’s Compare The Versions of 1 Samuel 23:28

King JamesVersion

“Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth,” 1 Samuel 23:28.

New King James Version

“Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place The Rock of Escape,” 1 Samuel 23:28 NKJV.

The Rock of Escape is Selahammahlekoth with the word “Selah” embedded at the beginning of it. This name is the source for the word “Selah.” But I didn’t know if the letter “h” belonged to Sela or to Hammahlekoth. I had to do some more digging.

I asked Google AI for the Hebrew word for rock and it listed four words:

You might be familiar with Ebenezer, The Rock of Our Help, 1 Samuel 7:12. The Eben is the rock that goes with you, like God goes with you to help you, Isaiah 41:13.

“I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Psalm 42:9

But I am looking for Selah, not the general word Sela.

Google AI presented the proper spelling of Hebrew words that mean “The Rock of Escape” from a website URL www.bibletraining.org

My Conclusion:

The word Selah is a conjunction of the two words Sela and Hammahlekoth and could have been written in English as “Sela’h”. David’s coined nickname for The Rock of Escape is “Selah” and it shows his intimacy with God, as he called upon the name of his friend, the Lord, his Rock of Escape, to deliver him.

1 Corinthians 10:2-4

“And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”

When the gifts of the Spirit are operating like this Word of Wisdom, it’s fun to realize God is hovering and guiding and interacting. When the tears come, it means Yes and Amen.

How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (““) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the verses in the Bible. I encourage you to read them, how else will you know if I’m correctly quoting? My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself.

This is the duty of the Scribe (writer) / Teacher (explainer) Matthew 13:52

I have added parentheses to the KJV verses to emphasize the point being made, rather than leave the reader to figure it out on their own. Unless otherwise noted, all scripture is quoted from the King James Version which exists in the Public Domain.

Samuel Walks Before the King of Kings Forever

“And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever,” 1 Samuel 2:35

In this post I will tell you why God destroyed the Tabernacle of Moses at Shiloh (Psalm 78:56-72, Jeremiah 26:6). I will show you why God granted Hannah’s request for a son. God did all that Samuel asked him to do, and the people feared Samuel. The Lord’s anointed refers to the King of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ, and it will be Samuel who serves at the altar before him forever. I will lay down some other elements that will help you throughout the Bible that were part of my thought process for this article. The Bible is a fragmented puzzle and when you want to understand a mystery you have to look in many places as the Lord knits it together.

Moses interceded 40 years in the wilderness, and Samuel was raised up to correct Israel after 40 years of wickedness. Moses performed the deliverance miracles of God to bring Israel out of bondage to Egypt. Samuel served God all his life, also performing deliverance miracles against the Philistines. God compares the righteousness of Samuel to Moses:

“Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth,” Jeremiah 15:1.

In 1 Samuel, the Holy Spirit tells the story in such a way that the reader doesn’t see what really happened at Shiloh, because it is very embarrassing, but every element is on the page. The Lord speaks in parables throughout the Bible and few are granted the secrets, however the opportunity is offered to study to show yourself approved, 2 Timothy 2:15. This is a story you won’t hear preached on Sunday morning.

When the Temple sacrifices are reinstated in the Millennial Kingdom as a reminder that repentance is necessary and sanctification is The Way for the humans born in that 1,000 years before Satan is loosed again to tempt them, Samuel will be the High Priest in Jerusalem to perform those sacrifices. And it is likely that it was Samuel who spoke to John when he told John not to weep, Revelation 5:5. While you are human living in a body of corruptible flesh, repentance is necessary on a continuing basis.

Psalm 78:56-72 Click to read this High Level View of What Happened at Shiloh.

God Had Honored Ephraim With Consideration But Chose Judah

It means that Judah was selected as the tribe Messiah would come from, even though Ephraim was considered because Joshua who fully followed the Lord was from the Tribe of Ephraim, Numbers 13:8. The Tabernacle at Shiloh was built in Ephraim because it was Joshua, the minister of Moses who led the Children of Israel into the promised land. His tribe was considered for the opportunity to bring forth Messiah, but Ephraim failed to maintain holiness before God, and was rejected in 1 Samuel because of Eli the High Priest and his two wicked sons, the priests Hophni and Phinehas.

The Lion and The Lamb

The first reference of the Lion of Judah is Genesis 49:9. Jacob prophesied the Tribe of Judah as the womb of His Son, the king would be seated (couched) as a resting lion. Jacob said he would be from the prey. Man is Satan’s prey. Then the Prophet Hosea said that God would be as a lion to Ephraim and a young lion to Judah, referring to Ephraim being rejected and Judah being selected, Hosea 5:14. One of Jerusalem’s names is Ariel, the lion of God, Isaiah 29. By naming Jerusalem Ariel, it’s clear that Ephraim was not going to be the place of worship. Ariel is also a name for God the Father. The whelp of the Lion is its offspring, Jesus Christ, the young Lion, the son of God born in Bethlehem a stone’s throw from Jerusalem. Then finally in Revelation 5:5 we learn the Lamb is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Lion’s whelp. The Lion is God the Father seated on his couch (throne) as Jacob said, with the Lamb, His Son, His Whelp, both seated on the throne in heaven. Jacob’s prophecy is accurate from the beginning.

“Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be,” Genesis 49:9-10. From between his feet is a reference to childbirth, the born again experience.

“For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early,” Hosea 5:14-15. Jesus did go away, waiting for them to admit their offense.

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof,” Revelation 5:5.

About Shiloh in Ephraim

Psalm 78:67 says Ephraim was rejected, and Psalm 78:68 says Judah was chosen.

“67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.”

Psalm 78 recounts the story of Shiloh’s destruction in short form.

Shiloh was placed in the tribal land of Ephraim by Joshua. Ephraim was renamed Samaria after the 10 tribes were carted away as slaves to Assyria in 702 BC never to return. Shiloh was called the Tabernacle of Joseph (but still was the Tabernacle of Moses) because Ephraim was a son of Joseph, the son of Jacob.

The Prophecy of the Robe

God split the tribes by the Prophet Ahijah’s prophecy of the Robe (1 Kings 11:28-end). Ahijah was from Shiloh, a Shilonite. Ahijah cut his robe into 12 pieces, ten tribes were given to Jeroboam, Solomon’s servant, an Ephrathite (from the Tribe of Ephraim) who practiced the Baal and Egyptian religions; and two tribes remained with King Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, for David’s sake (Jesus Christ), so that Judah and Jerusalem (the tribes of Judah and Levi) would be preserved to carry out the Cross in the future regardless of apostasy. The northern kingdom never return from Assyria, but Judah and the Priests were allowed to return after Babylonian captivity. God continued his plan with Judah and Jerusalem alone.

Insight

Those 10 tribes were never lost, they were removed to Nineveh, Assyria, and this is why God had mercy on Nineveh when he sent Jonah to tell them to repent. There were enough Jews in Nineveh who knew what that meant, so the City repented and they ceased their plans to come against the remnants of the nation of Israel. It’s always about God trying to create peace for Israel because Israel is God’s game clock.

New Testament Background

When the Jews in Jesus’ day traveled they refused to go through Samaria (Ephraim) and had to go around. It was unheard of for a Jew to visit Samaria, so when Jesus visited the woman at the well, she couldn’t understand why a Jew was talking to her.

But Jesus did not ignore his lost sheep in Samaria

The Son of God Went Looking For the Lost Sheep of Ephraim

“My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds (Eli, Hophni, Phinehas) have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place,” Jeremiah 50:6.

Jesus “left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. And he must needs go through Samaria. Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there,” John 4:3,4,6.

“They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn,” Jeremiah 31:9.

Ephraim was Joseph’s second son, but Jacob/Israel adopted him as the first son. Jacob replaced Reuben and Simeon with Ephraim and Manasseh in their birthright order. So now the plan was for Ephraim as the firstborn to inherit, but in Jacob’s prophecy he states that Judah will be the King.

God Tells The End From The Beginning

The Genesis 49 prophecy refers to Shiloh and the prophecy was not about the wicked place of Shiloh, but the parable name for Messiah, the one who would separate himself from his brothers and wear the crown, as God separated Judah and Jerusalem from the northern tribes. Jesus, spiritual Shiloh, had no works of the flesh like the physical location of Shiloh did. God’s anointed King of Israel, Jesus Christ, the anointed one is referred to in 1 Samuel 2:35 at the top of this post.

Overview of the Destruction at Shiloh

Shiloh was located in the rocky northern hill country of Ephraim as you saw in the video. It was the place where Joshua allotted the land to the tribes. They set up the Tabernacle of Moses in that camp in the book of Joshua and it stayed there 369 years until God used the Philistines to destroy the city of Shiloh in 1 Samuel, after 40 years of testing.

After the Philistines took the Ark of the Covenant as a battle prize, God smote them with death and hemorrhoids (emerods),in their hinder parts per Psalm 78:66, as they paraded the Ark of the Covenant from Philistine city to Philistine city. When the Ark drove itself to Israel by cattle cart, the Ark punished the Israelites of Bethshemesh because they looked inside the Ark. The Ark represented God on earth and God’s power was with it. By 1 Samuel chapter 7, the Ark had been taken by Levites to Kirjathjearim/Gibeah and safely stored in the house of Abinadab for 20 years until God raised up David and he would rescue the Ark from Abinadab’s house and bring it into the City of David.

Samuel replaced Eli as High Priest, Prophet, and Judge. Samuel led a mission to deliver Israel through repentance and asked the Lord to subdue the Philistines. Israel was at peace with the Philistines until King Saul and Jonathan riled them up again.

King Saul was a self inflicted wound upon Israel, but this post is not about his story.

The Purpose of The Sacrifices and Overview of Eli and His Sons

Mostly I write for Christians who want to go deeper, but not everyone is spiritual, so I must include some backstory as I go.

Every year the Jews were to go to Shiloh to make sacrifice to cover their sins according to the Torah ordinances, and annually God forgave their sins, thus keeping the sins of the people under control, 1 Samuel 1:3. This was the practice until Eli the High Priest whose sons used the Tabernacle for profit and their lust. When sin is out of control, demons take over. Unforgiven sin is the door of entry to demons and it’s called a ‘sin right’. As sin in the land increases, demonic influence escalates, and soon all are defiled before God. Demons love to inhabit Christians because it keeps them from serving God. Eli’s sons are proof.

When someone has a demon, they act pretty normal most of the time, but they tend not to obey God and unsurprisingly they are usually Atheists who laugh at God’s people. Demons are notorious for saying Christians are stupid and unable to think for themselves. This is how I spot demons in people when they’ve been college educated.

In scripture, 40 years, is the time of testing. In 40 years, Eli had not repented, nor had he sacrificed to cover his family’s wickedness. Demons don’t like to do what God commands. It was the duty of the High Priest to sacrifice for his own sins first, before conducting sacrifices for the people. The High Priest was a type of Christ, a parable of a sinless one who helped the people to cover their sins. If the High Priest was not clean, the people weren’t forgiven. If Jesus had not been sinless, his blood would not have atoned for our sins. Eli’s sons also did not sacrifice for themselves or their families. They continued to serve without repentance and cared nothing for what was written.

The job of the priests was to assist the people to make their sacrifices. Their payment for doing this job was a portion of the animal sacrificed, the right shoulder, this is how God fed the priests.

The High Priest Eli was a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses, a Levite priest. Eli took up the High Priesthood at 58 years of age, when his adult sons would have been in their 20s-30s. God killed all three of them in one day according to the prophecy confirmed by Samuel, when Eli was 98 years of age, 1 Samuel 4:15-18. Eli was 98, his sons were in their 60s-70s. It’s important to understand their ages to know they defiled Shiloh willingly. Eli was guilty of observing and not stopping all that they did.

Because of the defilements of extortion, theft, drunkenness, adultery, and fornication by Eli’s sons and their servants, the young men of Israel hated going to Shiloh to sacrifice, therefore sin increased in the land to an unacceptable level, 1 Samuel 2:17.

The Sins of Eli and His Sons

“Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD,” 1 Samuel 2:12. Eli was guilty of appointing his sons as priests when he knew they did not know the Lord.

The Sins of Extortion and Theft

Hophni and Phineas had carried out a scheme to steal more sacrificial meat than God allowed them to take as their portion, which robbed the people. Eli knew, he didn’t stop it.

1 Samuel 2:13-17

• They took as much meat from the seething pot as they hooked.

• They demanded additional raw meat for themselves on threats of violence.

• They took all the fat (the good tasting things) for themselves.

The duty to sacrifice for the family was the man’s duty. A single man would have sacrificed for himself; a father and husband for himself, his wife and minor children, and unmarried daughters. Families would attend the sacrifices, but it was not required for women and minor children to attend. The sins of a family were accounted to the man as priest of their household, as shepherd of his pasture. Performing a sacrifice was stating faith in God’s promise to provide the Lamb (from the story of the Sacrifice of Isaac), the blood of the Lamb (the ram caught in the thicket as a crown of thorns.) Before the Cross, the innocent animal’s blood only covered sin, it did not remove sin. Faith in Christ removes repented sin.

The Sins of Drunkenness, Adultery, and Fornication

In the video tour you saw the vineyards and the ancient wine press. Moses was never told to build a wine press for the Tabernacle. The priests are cautioned not to partake of strong drink, to guard against sin. The vineyards in Shiloh are mentioned in Judges chapter 21 as the place where the wicked men of the tribe of Benjamin might be able to kidnap women to take them as wives, due to the judgment against the men of that tribe disallowing marriage to the daughters of any other Israelite tribe. 1 Samuel begins on the heels of the book of Judges, in the time when the people had decided to do as they pleased and go their own way, instead of God’s way. Like in America today.

Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phineas, devised a scheme requiring the women who came to the Tabernacle to drink strong drink, fermented wine, and in their drunkenness, they forgot about their husbands who had come there to sacrifice to God, and they fornicated in orgies with Hophni and Phineas and their servants, at the door of the Tabernacle no less.

“Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,” 1 Samuel 2:22.

When Eli rebuked them, they could not hear, because the Lord wanted to kill them. Eli had the power to stop them, because God said Eli didn’t stop them.

“Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them,” 1 Samuel 2:25.

Forty years of testing, and these men did not repent. God would have to destroy Shiloh because of sin, the same as he destroyed Egypt down to the roots of the crops.

We are to Make a Difference Between the Holy and the Unholy, to Approach the Lord with Reverence in the Fear Of The Lord:

Make a Difference Between the Holy and the Unholy

“And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying, do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean,”

Leviticus 10:8-10, Eli and his sons opposed the Lord’s command to priests, God killed them without Salvation. God knew what would happen, so he put this warning in place.

The Fear of The Lord - Psalm 34:11-14

“11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.”

The Fear of the Lord - Proverbs 8:13-17

“13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. 15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. 17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

Hannah, Mother of Samuel, Was A Holy Woman

It seems as if God shuts up a womb when he plans to move His plan forward. Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Samson’s mother, Hannah, and Elisabeth.

1 Samuel begins with Hannah’s story. Hannah is in contrast to the drunken women at the Tabernacle. Hannah was married to a man who was faithful to God, she was obedient to her husband and forbearing with her husband’s other wife who sinned against her. Hannah believed God and didn’t lose her faith. Bearing children was a woman’s duty to her husband which ensured she would be cared for in her old age, and provided status in the community. Hannah would have known the stories of Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Rachel, Manoah and his wife. How they too had waited for children from God. She kept praying.

Elkanah and Hannah continued to sacrifice at Shiloh, regardless of how awful it was to go there and witness the desecrations performed. Eli the High Priest had dared to think Hannah was one of the drunken women who fornicated with his sons while he watched.

“And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee,” 1 Samuel 1:12-14.

But Hannah refuted him saying she was pouring out her soul to the Lord and that he should not consider her to be a daughter of Belial like his sons and the drunken women:

“And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him,” 1 Samuel 1:15-17.

Because Eli in the office of High Priest declared the Lord should grant her petition, God gave her the son she vowed to give to the Lord. God gave her the desire of her heart, for he had put the desire in her heart to give the boy to the Lord. It was God’s plan to raise up a new High Priest to remove sin from the land caused by Eli and his wicked sons. Samuel. In return, for Hannah paying her vow to the Lord, God gave her five more children, 1 Samuel 2:21.

Samuel is the last Judge of Israel, but he is not the first Prophet as most preachers claim. There were many Prophets before him, including Eli.

God Answered Simply At Samuel’s Request

Samuel’s name means “Because I have asked” or “God has heard.” God heard Hannah’s request for a son she vowed to lend to the Lord. From then on whatever Samuel asked God to do, God did for him. This is the spirit of Holiness, Romans 1:4.

Conclusion:

• Now you can clearly see what happened at Shiloh and why God destroyed it.

• Now you know God replaced Eli with Samuel after 40 years of testing Eli.

• Hannah’s full prayer in chapter one was fulfilled by the end of 1 Samuel. Her prayer and faithfulness raised up a righteous prophet and King David.

There’s quite a bit packed into 1 Samuel that is too much for this post, but since the Lord gave this interpretation to me on the command to read 1 Samuel, I thought you’d like to see the interpretation. Samuel had two sons that were wicked, just like Eli, the difference is that Samuel himself did what was right amidst evil, regardless of the evil around him. Even though Eli taught him wrongly, Samuel did what was right. The church today is in the same position under spiritual Eli, and those with spiritual ears need to come out of the Laodicean church and be separate. In Revelation Jesus was talking to those with spiritual ears within the problematic seven churches, not to everyone.

Paul the Apostle Wrote These Verses In Light of 1 Samuel

“14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty,”

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

But will the Laodicean Church listen to His seven warnings? Revelation 2:17, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22.

And these warnings to today’s unbelievers:

Revelation 21:3-8, Revelation 22:10-21, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

Today we are living in Romans 1:18-32 and 2 Peter 2:1-18. Willfully ignorant and worshipping the creation instead of the Creator, changing the use of the body. With Israel under attack, all the signs prior to the rapture are in place.

Stunning isn’t it, that for 2,000 years regardless of persecution the Church has grown and grown, but since 1948 when Israel was born in a day to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah 66:8, humans have being turning away from Jesus Christ to their own lusts and apostasy is complete through entertainments, drugs, worldly music, and the attempt to remove national borders. All done exceedingly quickly in 76 years. Will we make it even to 80 years? Psalm 90:10?

Repent. Because judgment must begin at the House of God, 1 Peter 4:17. If we judge ourselves God will not judge us, 1 Corinthians 11:31. We are to judge ourselves in repentance.

I hope this has opened your eyes to new things that have been on the pages all this time. Please go back and read 1 Samuel for yourself and see what you see.

Astonishing New Discoveries in the Book of Job

In his astonishing web article titled The Strange Language of the Book of Job, author Edward L. Greenstein, EMET Prize (“Israel’s Nobel”) winner in Humanities-Biblical Studies, reports his examination of the ancient writer’s use of grammar, vocabulary, and multilingual wordplay, and states the Book of Job was originally translated into Hebrew with difficulty from a Canaanite or early dialect of Arabic resembling the languages of the Transjordan peoples - those descended from Lot (the Ammonites, the Moabites) and from Esau (the Edomites). Greenstein reports that the original writer of the Book of Job possessed a Shakespearean intellect and was a master poet who invented new idioms for his audience to consume. In 2019, Greenstein published his book, Job: A New Translation.

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased,” Daniel 12:4.

If you’ve had a hard time reading Job, you aren’t alone. Job is an important book with concepts that travel into the New Testament. Job was the oldest and first book of God’s Word. You’ve most likely heard sermons about the unexplained sufferings of the righteous, but there is a greater secret hidden in the pages.

Christians without understanding of required ongoing repentance after salvation, experience unexplained suffering, not understanding the depths of repentance required in the sanctification process. Paul’s epistles hammered on the need to repent and were addressed to Holy Spirit baptized Christians, not the unsaved. Suffering for sufferings sake is not the point God is trying to make. He doesn’t afflict us unnecessarily, as Jeremiah tells us.

“For the Lord will not cast off for ever: But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men,” Lamentations 3:31-33.

The chastisements and trials mount as God works to bring a spirit of repentance in the person so they can shun the Old Man which is the Flesh. Without proper mourning of sins in repentance and asking for cleansing, the Lord doesn’t move. Peter tells us that the trials are firey but once they have done their work, there is joy.

The joy is freedom from temptation of the repented sins. Bodily injuries and disease can take hold due to demons that have not been cast out. Where there is unrepented sin, there is a sin right for demons to attach to. If you are repented and loosed, with all curses and soul ties broken but you still have trouble, you’ve likely not been taught to bind and cast out your demons and loose yourself from their curses and soul ties, so they are still with you. Jesus said you’d cast them out. Have you? Why not? Don’t be embarrassed, we all start out as a child of the devil and need to examine the principles of deliverance. Here is where you must take it upon yourself to study and undergo deliverance to ensure you are free. Satan’s strategy is silence. If you don't examine yourself, the demons stay silent and continue their disruption in your life. There are many newly raised up workers that are easy to learn from. God said he’d leave the “ites” in the land to teach you to war and cast them out little by little.

For some, Paul says they bear in their body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in their body, 2 Corinthians 4:10. Many dying refuse to reject God and his glory is their testimony.

On the narrow road that leads to life, there is God-ordained suffering for the Christian to bring about repentance in areas where the Christian has failed to repent and has failed to cast out their demons. But in Job there are scriptural secrets as juicy rewards of knowledge for those like Job who seek understanding while maintaining their reverence for God even in their suffering.

Are You Unmotivated to Read the Book of Job?

Many don’t read Job because it is a daunting book and the Land of Uz seems like a fable. It seems like a lot of words that have no frame, except suffering and accusation. On the surface, it is true, you can read the book for years and never understand. The secrets of Job are not in its poetry but in its truths found in the light of the New Testament.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter,” Proverbs 25:2.

“…To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna…” Revelation 2:17.

Job was a gentile, not a Jew. His friends were gentiles, wealthy peers, who had come to see what had happened to the greatest among them. You see, Job had vast herds of camels and donkeys making him the cargo fleet dealer of the desert, and his friends were likewise traders, business peers who trusted him for his wisdom and judgments when they visited the city to trade.

The court reporter scribe for this trial, is Elihu, a secretary of one of the friends, a hidden prophet who came to tell Job the nature of his sin, because Job was asking God to tell him what sin he had committed. Elihu is the author of the Book of Job. All of a sudden Elihu jumps up with great energy and tells Job he is self-righteous, in a respectful manner that caused Job to listen. Elihu can be known as a prophet because God does not rebuke him for his words, like he rebuked the friends, saying they spoke incorrectly about God. Elihu was there from the start of the vigil, a silent scribe who took down all the words spoken privately between the men.

How to Read Job

Begin reading at Chapter 29 and read to the end. Then start reading at Chapter 1. Make note of the personality of God at the beginning and at the end, two different attitudes toward Jobe. Elihu the prophet would have seen a vision of God speaking with Satan, but at the end he would have experienced the reality of Jehovah’s fearful presence, the same as it was at Mt. Sinai.

Greenstein says the story is best framed with the knowledge that Job is claiming he wants to sue God to learn what sin is causing his trial.

Many things in Proverbs are sourced from Job. Even things in Deuteronomy are found in Job. Job is an uncredited gentile prophet, judge, and teacher. His friends are a type of the wayward and corrected gentile church. They know there is a God, but they don’t know God. God said only Job spoke accurately about Him. The friends had sinned in their descriptions of God, therefore God told Job to sacrifice on their behalf. God addressed Eliphaz the Edomite directly because he was born out of Esau who was circumcised.

Another way to read Job is to read only Job’s dialogs without reading those of the friends. You’ll see that what Job says is correct, unhindered by confusion. You’ll be less frustrated with the book this way. Likewise you can read the collections of Eliphaz’s statements and those of Bildad and Zophar separately to learn more about what each believed before God corrected them.

Yet another way to read is to listen to the Book of Job slowly and methodically asking God to reveal its secrets.

The Test

Satan had a simple goal, to make Job curse God. Job’s wife cursed God, and she told Job to curse God. But Job would not do it. Job cursed the day he was born. Job said he would not use God’s breath in his lungs to curse God or to speak any foul word. He had an understanding that Adam was made alive with God’s breath. God breathes in all of us. Job was determined to maintain his reverence for God.

“All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit,” Job 27:3-4.

Job didn’t recognize his reliance on his own integrity as self-righteousness. A reliance on his deeds for salvation rather than having faith in the blood of the sacrifice. Job continued to dissect his past actions, saying he saw no errors in his ways, assuming his correct actions saved him. He worshipped God, but placed his faith in the perfect execution of deeds. All of us wonder what we have done wrong when trouble comes and we replay our deeds over and over looking for the error.

Job laid the principle of chastisement leading to repentance and turning from sin.

“Surely it is meet (correct) to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: That which I see not (the sin he is guilty of), teach thou me (tell me my sin): if I have done iniquity, I will do no more (I will repent and cease),” Job 34:31-32.

Job is saying that through his trial and forced self examination he wants to repent and he wants God to show him what to repent of that he cannot see in himself, and realizes he cannot continue to commit sin. He is humble and knows there are things that God sees that he does not see in himself. It has taken an unbearable trial and chastisement to cause Job to question his ways and come to a conclusion that his perfectly performed deeds have not satisfied the Lord. There is a trial like Job’s prepared for each person, and the way to quickly end it, is to comply with repentance. Some issues of sin take longer and the purpose of the trial is to burn out all pride of life that would lend itself to incurring the sin again. God deals with roots of it as well.

“For whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives. If ye endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby,” Hebrews 12:6-11. Read Hebrews chapter 12 for yourself.

The Secret of Job

Stunningly, Job is the only Bible character who actually pointed out the lack of a Savior. A lack of a daysman (KJV), a mediator (NKJV) between God and man, Job 9:33. Other OT writers talk about salvation (Yeshua) and about the God who saves, and that God would send a prophet like Moses, but the Jews never understood a mediator was to come. They believed in a conquering Messiah, but not God’s Son, even though Proverbs 30:4 told them God had a Son.

It was the gentile man named Job, who realized he needed a savior, someone to plead before God on man’s behalf. Jesus said if he’d done the miracles in Tyre, Sidon and Sodom, the gentiles would have believed. God chose Abraham’s pure bloodline, but it was Job who called for the mediator of the New Covenant. God tried Job to find out what depths of trials it would take to cause a great man to cry out and repent. When Job was ready to repent, God appeared to him. Jesus Christ makes himself known when you cry to him for salvation and repent.

Israel’s Sin Today

Job’s sin was self-righteousness, faith he could save himself by his perfect works. Israel’s sin is the same self-righteous and only a remnant will be saved. When they murdered the Prophet Zechariah, Matthew 23:35 who told them their end time prophecy, they proved they never returned to God, and this is why God never returned to the rebuilt Temple. They are self-righteous, the same as Job, and as a Prophet was sent to Job so a Prophet like Moses was sent to Israel, Jesus Christ, Deuteronomy 18:18.

“30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed,” Romans 9:30-33.

The Land of Uz is Near Edom, Jeremiah 25:20, Lamentations 4:21

The Land of Uz is inside the national boundaries of Jordan. Today’s Jordan is a combination of the lands of Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Seir. Greenstein says the original language of Job is Canaanite or early Arabic resembling the Transjordan languages of Lot’s children. The collection of friends confirms the location.

• Job is the only man in the Old Testament to realize the mediator between God and man was missing. If they had understood Job, they would have understood the Tabernacle built by Moses was for that one person to inhabit. They were to wait for him and continue to worship God, conform their lifestyle, and stay clear of false religion.

• Job has been determined to be the first book written in the biblical canon. Job was a wealthy man; a man with wisdom that princes would be silent to hear, Job 29:9; He lived another 140 years after his trial of suffering, almost a double life span. A new life to replace the loss of the first due to God’s purposeful trial. “The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” Proverbs 9:10.

• Job is the evidence of scripture that gentiles know God exists, as indicated in the book of Romans, that all know Him, and that God gave them wisdom to live for him if they were determined to do so, as Job did.

• When Jesus cursed the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum, he needed a scriptural basis to do so. The book of Job is that scriptural basis to curse those cities.

• The Book of Job verses 42:6 and 42:9 are the basis on which God saved Job and his three gentile friends; that they being gentiles, the same as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, did what God commanded them to do without complaint or argument, unlike the Jews. Before the Law was given, they were all gentiles. Only after Moses gave the Law were they Jews.

“Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes,” Matthew 11:21, Luke 10:13.

“And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day,” Matthew 11:23.

Repentance is “The Way”

Repentance is how you walk forward on the narrow way which leads to life that few find. Prayer is for repentance, where the relationship with Jesus Christ is built. In repentance the Christian exposes all the details and reasonings and fears about their sins, including their part of the sins that involve others, taking responsibility for their part. This is how Jesus becomes closer than a brother. Through sincere repentance, he is faithful and just to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. When the change comes, even the temptations won’t bother you anymore, and “you will know He is the LORD,” because you can’t change yourself, but you must take your eyes and hands off your triggers, in obedience to his command to cease your sins.

Job was perfect in his ways, did all the right things, he examined his actions, but he couldn’t see his own sin. That’s why God gave the Bible. So we could look into the Word of God like a mirror, see our sin, be convicted, and turn from it in repentance. The parts of the Bible that you don’t like are those parts that are trying to convict you. God created us with a conscience to know right from wrong and when we are wrong, our conscience kicks us.

Since the Cross, the Holy Spirit is available to be received, as the comforter, the one who upholds us before the Lord to help us know when to repent, and to intercede for us and to bring tears when the proper attitude before God is required. We are to mourn our sin. You have the Holy Spirit if you speak in tongues.

“Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted,” Matthew 5:4.

With the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, you will be comforted. You need the Baptism.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, I’m grateful to have received the revelation that it was Job who announced man’s needs for a savior.

“And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, ‘Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.’” Exodus 1:22 KJV

Moses was indeed cast into the river.

“Noah floated in an ark of trees, Moses floated in an ark of reeds,
saved by Grace to deliver God’s Word to the human race;
Both crossed a flood, one turned the Nile into blood.
They awaited the sinless Savior Divine,
the one who could turn the water into wine,
and wrestle thirsty vessels, including mine.”
- V. A. Campbell

A light snack of hidden manna:

After Aaron was born, Pharaoh decreed that the Hebrew boy babies should be cast into the river and Moses’ mother Jochebed obeyed the decree, and thus Moses, a Levite, great-grandson of Jacob and Leah, became part of Pharaoh’s household, raised as an heir to the throne of Egypt, typology of the world, foreshadowing Christ’s reign over the world.

The Holy Spirit is the River of Life and the Single Author of the Bible

At the showdown on Mount Carmel, Elijah poured water around the altar. Preachers say the water is typology of the Word of God. This is true, Jesus is the Word, and he is the Fountain of Living Water, as prophesied by Jeremiah. It was Paul who told us that our unrenewed minds are washed by the Word and unbent from sin as God writes his Law in our hearts.

“That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,” Ephesians 5:26 KJV

The Holy Spirit is the author of the Word of God and He is the River of Life, but He needed a man to write so that man in the flesh could have an instruction manual to learn of God that would last down through the ages. Moses was a deliverer sent to deliver the Word of God to man.

The Spirit raised up Moses, a thirsty vessel drawn from the water of the Nile river, to pour out the water of the Word from the River of Life, onto the dry land of your heart.

The Genealogy of Moses the Prophet, the Law Giver

• Abraham and Sarah begat Isaac, the 2nd generation of Abraham.

• Isaac and Rebekah begat Jacob, the 3rd generation of Abraham.

• Jacob and Leah begat Levi, their 3rd son, in the 4th generation of Abraham.

• “And the sons of Levi; [were] Gershon, Kohath, and Merari,” Genesis 46:11 KJV
  Levi lived 137 years, Exodus 6:16 KJV. Kohath and Jochebed are siblings in the 5th generation of Abraham.

• ”Kohath begat Amram,” Numbers 26:58 KJV.
  Kohath lived 133 years, Exodus 6:18 KJV.
  His son Amram lived 137 years, Exodus 6:20 KJV. Amram is of the 6th generation of Abraham.

• “And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt [sister of Kohath]: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister,” Numbers 26:59 KJV.

• Aaron and Moses and Miriam are born in the 7th generation of Abraham; their parents Jochebed and Amram are of the 5th and 6th generations of Abraham. Miriam, Aaron, and Moses are the direct great-grandchildren of Jacob and Leah through their mother Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, sister of their grandfather Kohath. Miriam is the eldest (Exodus 2:4), Aaron was three when Moses was born (Exodus 7:7). Pharaoh issued his decree after Aaron was born because Aaron was not cast into the river.

Moses is the youngest, therefore God honored the elder Aaron with the appointment to High Priest, as Jesus Christ, the eldest of Mary, is our eternal High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek, Psalm 110:4, the one separated from his brethren like Joseph will wear the crown, as Jacob prophesied in Genesis 49:26. It is important to understand that Aaron and Moses are directly linked to Jacob and Levi.

The line of Kohath is a line of prophets and prophetic psalmists. Therefore Miriam was called a prophetess and had dreams; Aaron held the prophetic role of High Priest, a placeholder for the true High Priest to come, the Son of David, Jesus Christ; and Moses had the power of the rod of God, and the vision gifts of a prophet of God, and he met with God face to face.

The Children of Israel were in Egypt 430 years, Exodus 12:40-41. Levi went into Egypt with the 70 of Jacob in 1876 BC, and Moses brought them out in 1446 BC.

Turning the River into Blood

God turned the river into blood because Pharaoh decreed death on the Israelite boys trying to cease God’s plan of redemption. If life is in the blood, then sin is also in the blood. Therefore the Nile River they worshipped, as the river of life, was a false god and was judged by God, turning it into stinking blood, that brought death, the same as sin brings spiritual death.

Turning the Water Into Wine

While Moses turned the river into blood, the first miracle Jesus Christ performed was turning the water into wine at the wedding in Cana. The water he turned into wine was drawn out of the purification water pots of the Jews used to sanctify/wash their bodies. Jesus turned the water into wine that came from the vessels used for sanctification. Just like he sanctifies the water baptized human vessels through the obedience to his commands found in the Word. Therefore, sanctify yourselves, the wine of the Gospel is the New Testament written in his own holy blood.

Jesus is the Word. The Word is the water. And when Jesus died, he mixed his blood into the water and turned the water of the Word into the wine of the Gospel, Luke 20:22.

A lifestyle of repentance is the way to holiness, the way to partake of the New Wine, the way to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit for the power to become the sons of God.

About 968 minutes in prayer, 16 hours.

I began to notice news stories published on certain dates in certain places that would say to me the curse was indeed being broken and the Powers forced to retreat. Control has been taken from Satan and given back to man. This is why I’ve included the dates.

My decision to put these commands to pray on my website comes after the April/May 2024 Tornado storms of Satan that attacked the states that I didn’t walk in. Satan is the Prince of the Power of the Air, which controls storms (turns the natural weather demonic, the media, and internet, and electronic things. My hope is once these are online, Satan will have to entirely obey.

What I’ve endured after breaking the curse

After breaking the curse, I wrote my teaching on Unforgiveness on a legal-sized yellow notepad, and as I was to record the Twitter space, Satan wallopped me at that very minute with excruciating back pain, again, and I would learn I had four additional demons to cast out. Thank God for Win Worley’s books and Derek Prince’s teachings, but also for a new deliverance worker, Alex Pagani, who was given a special revelation in the last two chapters of Nehemiah.

“Pain,” I cursed it at its root. I’ve been dealing with this demon punching me for years as a result of praying against Satan’s kingdom.

The Lord had me reading Alex Pagani’s book. The Lord gave him a revelation in Nehemiah, that Christians must open all the doors of their Temple to the Holy Spirit, even if they are already Baptised with tongues, and ask him to sweep through the rooms in the body where demons hide to expose them by name.

In Nehemiah, Tobiah the Ammonite had married into the High Priest’s family (a type of acquiring a demon after salvation,) and was he camping with his stuff in an unused room in the Temple. This is a type of Christians who have demons in their bodies after salvation that have not cast them out because they have not yet manifested or commanded by Satan not to manifest. They must manifest to be cast out. By sweeping the rooms of your temple, the Holy Spirit can reveal their names, so they can be cast out. Quite a revelation of an additional type of demon “ite”, the Ammonite. So much in the bible is just waiting for the chosen worker to receive.

While I was unable to move for a literal month after being attacked, I did what Pagani said to do, the Spirit told me their names.

In prayer, I opened the doors of my bodily temple to the Holy Spirit. I asked him to sweep through all the rooms burning them with his fire and asked him to tell me the names of any hidden demons. I didn’t expect more than the pain demon, but I know they are installed by Satan in packs and there is never just one. The controller demons will allow the lower-level demons to be cast out, but the controllers rarely manifest so they can remain (Win Worley). Never assume you can’t have demons, or you will never get them out (Derek Prince). Always be examining yourself. God said they would be cast out of the land little by little. This is the battle to overcome.

The Holy Spirit gave me a dream exposing the “Santa Claus” demon. A fat-bellied red demon with a pointed head. Santa is fat and has a red pointed hat, doesn’t he? My extended family was into Christmas and my mother had a very large collection of Santa dolls and pottery statuettes that she venerated all year in their very own bookcase. Santa Claus Idols. This was a bloodline demon. I repented for my bloodline and bound it and cast it out intending to breathe it out like Derek Prince said to do, but it burped up out of my mouth before I got that far because the Holy Spirit was actively dealing with it.

Two down. Any more? I asked the Holy Spirit to tell me the names of any others, and the Latin word “Insanctus” floated through my mind; I repented of anything unholy, for that is what the Latin word insanctus means, unholy. I bound it and before I could breathe it out it burped up out of my mouth as well.

Three down. Any more? The next day I could finally walk again without burning pain, but, very gingerly, as things would need time to heal and I was very weak. I stood in my doorway talking to a delivery guy about Jesus, for an hour, and the Spirit helped me stand. The second the door closed I doubled over in weakness and had no physical strength. This was not a normal weakness. I decided it was an infirmity demon. I bound it and cast it out, then I slept for about 24 hours.

When I woke up, normal strength had returned, and healing was working in my body. For the next two weeks, I could not sit in a chair yet.

Between January 16th and February 24th when I published my substack article on defeating the unforgiveness stronghold, I was in a battle and waiting for healing to take hold.

The demons are out and now I can sit and type for hours without impingement. Satan never gives up. If you refuse to cease your work for God, he will try to kill you.

God has withheld provision in the form of a job, since he told me to leave that job in July 2023. In the last three weeks, I have been dealing with a deep bronchial cough racking my body, that came upon me while I was walking back and forth to the post office in 75-degree weather because the Post Office decided mysteriously that they would no longer pick up my packages. Go figure. This is how Satan has tried to keep me from selling on eBay to pay my rent. But today I am healed and the post office is no longer denying me service. God fixed it.

God has kept me from a job even though I have had interviews because he knows that I’m facing these battles and can’t work right now. As of May 28, 2024, God has paid my debt payments, but I’m still waiting to be able to pay my rent from the sales of my possessions on eBay. Last night, May 27, 2024, the Lord said, “Come to me in prayer three times daily,” so that is what I must do to receive further instruction about what’s next. The servant of the Lord is never without affliction on the earth. This morning, as I’m editing this post, May 30, 2024, as high-priced item sold on eBay, so now I can pay my rent.

The demons are out, finally all of them. That’s my spiritual reward. I have overcome them. My vessel is clean. And if you are reading this saying I’m not a Christian, check yourself, because everyone is a Christian until it gets biblical. The knowledge of deliverance is given when the Christian asks for it. It is hidden in scripture and God has sent workers to write books. Read them. Deliverance workers have testimonies of being delivered. Everyone ever born on the earth, except for Jesus, has or has had demons. You are first born of your father in the flesh, Satan, and you must be born again and cast out what he put in you. This is what putting off the Old Man is, the battle to overcome.

The Prayer to Break the Curse on the Land

Including the names of the demons I have bound.

The Lead-In

Read once daily to begin.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thank you for the blessings and spiritual blessings you provided unto me throughout my life even when I was loaded with demons and even when I turned away. You came looking for me with a last opportunity to be saved and showed me in hell where I was going. When death tried to take me, you healed me.

I asked you for Elijah’s faith, and you have given it to me, but more. I have been to the Cross to see my Savior nailed to the tree and I’ve been to the throne in the Temple in Heaven to see the face of my Savior glorified and risen with all power in himself, and his angels who I asked to see so long ago, who watch over me (Psalm 91). I heard the Spirit speak, Who said to me, I have seen Him as David saw him, and later Who said, I saw what Daniel saw at the river.

You anointed me with a poured-out golden vision, like the horn of golden oil poured out over David’s head, and set upon my shoulders a mantle in the Spirit that I did not earn. The Spirit was with me as I walked the length and the breadth of my nation, as you commanded Abraham to walk, so you have commanded me to walk from Alaska To Florida, from Maine to Hawaii. You spoke to me with that metallic voice of a trumpet that John heard and said you would go with me.

You helped me to break the soul ties and demonic sin rights, the chains I was bound in to sin, and you helped me cleanse out all images and idols and accursed decor from my dwelling. You gave me the old paths and said to walk therein. You caused me to understand how to enter the Strait Gate with Peter’s teachings and that I needed to keep my feet off the path of the Destroyer, as David said.

You gave me a multitude of teachers in the old ways of faith, those who walked in the power of God and you gave me the Gift of Faith I sought fervently as a precious treasure hidden in a field, and with joy, I sold all that I had to buy the field.

You said, “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mayest see.”

I came out of the Church of Laodicea, and you received me unto yourself, I have been separate from the world and did my best not to touch the unclean thing. You filled me with your Holy Spirit and I have operated in all the gifts of the Spirit. You have given me life and you have kept me even though I almost was cast into the flames with my lampstand extinguished. You came to warn me, but I did not hear, because the curses of Satan made me deaf and prideful and hardened of heart. But in your mercy, you terrified me to wake me up to the truth, and I was able to recover. You are the Living God, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Heaven and the Earth, and all that there is in them. As you forgave David all his sin, you have likewise forgiven me, strengthened me, rescued me from all my enemies. You have slain the Principalities and Powers and Rulers and spirits that stole everything from me and you have set me on high because I have known Your Name (Psalm 91), and because your son Jesus had mercy on me in the depths of hell. I had made my bed in hell, but He was there.

Your gift of life to me is unspeakable for you have given me a full bible experience, a living witness to your saving Grace and work to do that Abraham did, that David did, that Paul did, that Elijah did, and revelation from your Word that seems like a constant overflow of the Spirit.

You have saved me and sanctified me and you have provided all things needed for me to succeed. I have cast off the flesh and cast out the demons and broken the curses on my life. In hard times I have no fear, for you are with me and you are faithful and you have not left me as an orphan, you do come to me, and I have loved your appearing.

As Abraham claimed the land of Israel, from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea and as far as the Nile River by walking the length and breadth of it, so you commanded me to claim the land of the United States of America by walking the length and the breadth of it.

You said, “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give you.”

Yesterday in prayer (1/6/2024), the Spirit said, “Break the curse upon the land.” It has been three months since you have appeared to me two days before Israel was attacked.

You called me according to Ezekiel 22:30

“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”

Ezekiel 22:30 KJV

Because you found a woman to stand in the gap.

You told me to “Sanctify Yourself” and you have fulfilled the test of a Prophet in me according to Numbers 12:6.

You gave me the power to tread on serpents and scorpions, you took me down into the earth to see the Red Dragon of Revelation who was unable to even breathe upon me. You gave me power over all the power of the enemy so that nothing would by any means hurt me, not even the high-speed crash demons that were sent to destroy me; not even the storm demons sent against me; not even the Principalities who tried to destroy my legs and because they touched the Lord’s anointed, they have been destroyed. Not even Dorian could withstand the forces sent with me by the Lord. Luke 10:19, Psalm 91:13.

The high praises of God are in my mouth and the two-edged sword is in my hand (the bible) to execute punishment and rebuke upon the demons even in the peoples, to bind their kings with shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron, to execute upon them the written judgment sealed in the Blood of Jesus Christ, who is far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that which is to come, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Psalm 149, Ephesians 1:21.

I come to execute the written judgment by the authority of the name of Jesus Christ, this honor have all his saints, to condemn every tongue that has risen in judgment against me or the land for which I stand in the gap. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and my righteousness is not of myself, but of the Lord Jesus Christ, therefore no weapon formed against me or my nation shall prosper. Psalm 149, Isaiah 54:17.

It is the Lord of Glory who has chosen me that my fruit will remain and it is the victorious Lord Jesus Christ who has won dominion in my nation from sea to sea, John 15:16, Psalm 72:8.

It is the Lord who has come to proclaim liberty to the captives of Satan in the United States and to open the prison for those who are bound in chains of deception, violence, lust, disease, death, and persecution, to break the curses of Satan and all his demons, and to cancel every strategy of the Principalities and Powers, Rulers of the Darkness, and Spiritual Wickedness in High Places, Thrones, and Dominions, to enforce the verdict of the Blood of the Cross against them and the organized Kingdom of Satan beyond the veil in the second heaven as revealed by Howard Pittman. Isaiah 61:1.

As Abraham walked and conquered the kings, so too was I commanded to walk and conquer these kings and nobles, evil spirits all, and to bind them and loose burning destruction and judgment upon all of them and to break their curses on the land, in the name of Jesus Christ.

I now break the curse on the land of the United States of America and its territories, neighbors, and friends, in the holy name of Jesus Christ.

End of the Lead-In

Satan, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God who created you, I by his authority and command, bind you and every wicked entity, evil spirit, unclean spirit, every Principality and Power, every evil Ruler of the Darkness and all spiritual wickedness and all demons masquerading as Aliens from Outerspace, every power that works within a witch or spiritist or Satanist or any Wizard or Psychic including demons of addiction and disease, lying spirits, familiar spirits, and any other entity in this category that I may choose to bind at a later date.

The God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Lights, rebuke you and bind you in Jesus’ name.

Jesus told Peter, that what you bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven (the second heaven where the Satanic kingdom exists, above the earth.) Matthew 16:19, 18:18.

By the authority of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I break your curses upon the land of the United States of America, because I have walked the land and the Lord has prevailed against you. By the Blood and my faith in the Cross, I cast you and your demons out of my nation, and I bind the second heaven shut so that you no longer have a right to enter or speak through another human. I bind your mouth and burn your altars of witchcraft with burning destruction to destroy all curses in my land that the Lord has called me to walk.

My feet have been His feet. For every servant of the Lord is called to be his hands and feet. Luke 24:39-40, Ephesians 6:15, Galatians 2:20, Acts 8:17, Mark 16:18.

By the authority of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I break the Blood Oath of the Secret Covenant of the Fallen Angels Against Humanity.

The God of our Lord Jesus Christ and Savior cast you out in agreement, and bind you in chains, shackles, and manacles of iron, fragment your souls and cast you into Tarturus or the Abyss, or wherever the Lord will send you. The Lord rebuke you in his fury and lift the veil to expose those of the Blood Oath to burning destruction. Psalm 149.

The written verdict against them in Jesus’ Blood has been executed to clear the land of demon power, and Satanic power and to sever all soul ties to demons in the United States, all soul ties to Satan are null and void in Jesus’ name. The Secret Blood Oath of the Fallen Angels is declared broken in Jesus’ name.

Dear Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Oh Great Ancient of Days I ask that you bind Satan’s power of the air, the power of the radio and music waves, and his power through the electric grid and internet. I bind it in Jesus’ name, and I ask it done that no more Satanic storms, entertainment, music, or siren songs be allowed to lure people to destruction in the United States; that no control over technology be further allowed, and no more Satanic technology inventions be given to the minds of men, women, or children. That all transgender, homosexual, and lesbian demons and practices will cease including those of child mutilation and the teaching of corrupt educational theories. That these demons will be bound and unmasked that children will be unharmed and that the true criminals will be punished. That children will not be indoctrinated into hurting themselves and destroying their lives, and the demons of blindness and deafness will be bound and unmasked. That all deceptions will be will be broken, and that when discovered additional demons will be added to the following list to be bound:

Demon/Spirit Names Bound by this Prayer in Every Jurisdiction:

And I bind all spirits identified previously by Win Worley, Derek Prince, Alex Pagani and other deliverance workers in the Body of Christ.

If you are praying….add your own.

^“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV

By the perfect Law of Liberty as one who will be judged by the Law of Liberty, I ask there shall be no judgment on the land I intercede for without Mercy. James 1:25, 2:12-13.

For God desires Mercy. Father if you send judgment let there also be mercy.

Dear Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ, creator, and Author of Life, I loose from the third Heaven, the spirits of Freedom, and ask that you send the angelic host to cart away the demonic horde to wherever you will send their fragmented souls.

The Two-Edged Sword (the Bible) declares these spirits can be loosed on the earth from Heaven.

So as Jesus Christ told Peter, whatsoever you shalt loose on the earth shall be loosed in Heaven (Matthew 16:19, 18:18)

Amended to add Spirits of Election Interference, 8/11/2024.

I loose the spirits of:

Glory, Prophecy, Revelation, Wisdom, Understanding, Kindness, Love, Knowledge, Discernment, Judgment, Humility, Grace, Supplications, Truth, Holiness, Healing, Meekness, Faith, Justice for the Courts, Hope, Prosperity, Joy, Happiness, Peace, Angelic Hosts, Ministering Spirits, Spirits of Repentance to bring the people to the altar and to correct the Church,

In legions without number, as grains of sand on the seashore, Father, I loose these spirits into the earth from the third Heaven, upon the United States to vanquish the third woe that was prophesied by George Washington as the most dangerous time for America.

Father, George Washington claimed he saw a vision about a time of a third woe, following the woe of the Civil War, and the woe of the World Wars, that would be the most dangerous time for America. I believe my generation is living in the time of that third woe. Satan has sent dippers of seawater to water the Tares he sowed, and this seawater which is evil spirits from the East, has fogged up as black clouds of the Powers in various places and in governments and education that befuddle the minds of the people, seemingly without a cause, to create a social war. The Tares (evil unsaved people) have grown up among the Wheat (church) to destroy our nation.

But Father, you showed George Washington that bright shining spirits from Heaven would break through to dispel the darkness and confusion, possibly as Revival in your Mercy. Prophesying the end of this horrific bondage to sin that he saw. Deliver us oh God. The evil ones believe what they do is right, they call evil good and good evil. America has become Sodom and worse than Sodom. Father deliver us, in Jesus’ name.

In Jesus’ glorious and mighty name, I ask these things O Father that you may be glorified and magnified in the earth. Thank you, Lord, we have waited for your salvation.

Amen. Hallelujah!

On August 12, 2023, Jesus spoke to me in a dream and said “Bind Psalm 91 to the land, every state jurisdiction.”

The First Vision - February 2018

Since I don’t have a written testimony of my call or what my work for God has been, I must preface this article by saying that Jesus commanded me to walk the length and breadth of the United States in a golden vision in February 2018. In that vision swirled all the bible verses that I had thought were revelations to me previously from the Spirit, and so they were, he had been teaching me all along. In that vision, I saw Abraham and Lot, as they were when God commanded Abraham to walk the length and breadth of the land. The walking under the command of God claims the land. That’s what it means to walk on scorpions and serpents and take authority over all the power of the enemy, Luke 10:19.

“Arise, and walk through the land in the length of and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee,” Genesis 13:17 KJV.

How Abraham Looked in the Vision

Abraham was dressed in rough brown woven burlap-looking pants and a long-sleeved brown sheepskin jacket. The jacket was made in such a way that the oiled leather side was outside with the curly white sheep wool on the inside for warmth. The jacket lapels were folded outside with rough edges, not like the straight lapel edges we have today. The jacket was held closed around his chest with a wide brown leather belt tied in a looped knot. On Abraham’s feet were brown sheepskin leather mocassins laced up from the toe to the ankle with some type of cording. The smooth side of the shoe leather was outside, oiled, and the sheep’s wool side was inside to keep his feet warm. On top of Abraham’s head sat a tall sheepskin cap of curly white sheep’s wool outside and the leather side inside, bound to his head by a strip of brown leather around his forehead. The tall cap marked him as a sheepherder. In the vision, Abraham stood facing me, with the white rocks of Israel strewn out behind him and Lot was walking toward him, away from me, wearing a blue fabric cowl over his head with a brown knapsack on his back.

Abraham was very short, I had the sense of someone maybe only five feet tall, without the cap. Lot was younger and larger. Preachers have a fantasy about wealthy Abraham in his resplendent tents with all his gold. But Abraham was a humble man, used to traveling on foot in a camel herd with all his smelly sheep. I was allowed to view Abraham until my mind had captured what the Lord was asking me to do.

“If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham,” John 8:39 KJV

The Command of the Vision

When this vision came, it was like Samuel’s golden horn of oil poured out on my head. The vision began as soon as I had hallowed the names of God in prayer. The view shrank to the width of my head, so the images became very tall and distorted, but still, I understood that it was God speaking to me and that God could speak to me directly while I was wide awake. That day I was wondering if he had brought me here to Louisiana for the purpose I asked for or if I had just made it all up because the opposition was already very strong against me, without a cause. This was the first time I had received a vision, and I was very excited. Now I had something to do. Go walk your land, the same as Abraham did. To claim it. I understood the direct command in February 2018 but was not given a reason or a direct purpose for doing so until August 12, 2023. The walking was completed on June 30, 2019. A tale for a different time. Later I would learn that I was called for this even as young as 5 years old, but probably before I was born. God plans long before he sends the worker.

On August 12, 2023, I learned the reason God told me to quit that new job on July 12th, he had more work for me to do. Between July 12, 2023, and August 12, 2023, I had to revive my faith and come out of the world again, to be able to hear him. Faith is a funny thing. For most, faith is a head knowledge. But my faith, when it’s active is like an army tank that lives inside me. And over the previous year, my faith had waned because I wasn’t using it every day and I was caught up in trying to work to make money to pay the rent. I had to stir it all up again. So I finished hand-writing the book of Genesis that month and received my call in Chapters 1-3 of First Corinthians. God was moving again. When you feel him present like another person in the room, your faith is right.

On August 12, 2023, as I was waking up, Jesus spoke to me in a dream and said “Bind Psalm 91 to the land, every state jurisdiction.” The dreams from God come as I am waking up because there is no flesh in my thoughts at that time. Do you know people who say they got dreams from God? If they cannot describe what the dream instructed them to do, it wasn’t from God. There is no guessing.

Below is the prayer that was accepted by God

On October 5th, US Time, on October 6th Israel time, the Lord appeared to my spirit around midnight, while I was asleep, and instantly I woke up and could see him even with my eyes closed.

In full color, it was Jesus as a healthy vibrant muscular man on a huge cross, from the waist up, naked. From the waist down, covered in a red flowing cloth with gold edges, the same fabric as his slippers that I saw on a trip to the throne. Where the spear pierced his side out flowed a golden cloud of fire all around him, a representation of the Holy Spirit. It was beautiful and proof that some time in history, people did see huge crucifixes in visions that are considered “very catholic” today. But God isn’t Catholic. And this was not approval of the Catholic crucifixes.

This appearance in the Spirit was to confirm that the Godhead had accepted my prayer that binds Psalm 91 to the land of the United States.

Then two days later, US Time, on October 7th, I woke up to war in Israel. Then I understood. I had to walk the land first (2018/2019), to be able to bind the prayer to it in 2023.

Psalm 91 is meant to be declared over someone or something. That’s why it reads strangely in English. I will leave a blank for where you insert what you are declaring it over. I hand-wrote this prayer from beginning to end because it was the Holy Spirit working in me to do it. I didn’t have to research or look stuff up. I just wrote it. We are workers together with him and we are his hands and feet. Remember it doesn’t say we are his brain. His thoughts pass through my spirit and then I write. Handwrite. Just as the Old Testament prophets and their scribes did.

The Prayer - To Knit Psalm 91 to the Land

Father, hallowed be your name, your covenant names that by faith have brought me here to this day, through the strait gate, down this long narrow way of sanctification, that your will should be done in me, so I can stand in the gap for at least the land and bring protection to your people who live in the land, to extend the time for repentance in this evil day according to the call you gave me in Isaiah 60:1-4, Genesis 13:17, 1 Kings 19:9-12, Ezekiel 22:30, Isaiah 54:1-17, Isaiah 25:1-9, 26:19, Psalm 91, Numbers 12:6.

That I should claim the land of the United States and knit scripture to the land, to each of its jurisdictions, as a piece of a garment in prayer according to the concepts in Psalm 104:2,6 and Psalm 109:17-19, that we cover ourselves in prayer and praise as you clothe yourself in light, that this exceedingly defiled land might be preserved by this knit garment of prayer for its preservation as a surety for strangers according to Proverbs 20:16, 27:13, stated twice in scripture that it might be established, knowing that it is by the knowledge of the Holy One and the scriptures that this garment be knit by this woman whose heart you have stirred up in wisdom as you stirred up women’s hearts in the wilderness to spin goats hair into curtains for the Tabernacle covering (Exodus 26:7, 35:26, Numbers 31:20), as you preserved Jerusalem and Judah by the prophecy of the Robe for your purpose to bring about the last sacrifice for David’s sake, the Cross, so too, now I pray you will preserve the United States of America as spiritual Benjamin, the defiled land, as the strong right hand of Israel, as we have been ordained in the past, let this nation be so in the future.

At age 14 you said to me in Isaiah 60:1

“Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord as risen upon thee.”

Isaiah 60:1 KJV

At age 22 you, in my defiled state, made me swim in the River of the Holy Ghost, and I was preserved by Him and sent back to await your timing.

Despite falling away due to lack of knowledge at age 25, you came looking for me in 2011, took me to hell, and raised me from the dead to serve you and you said “Sanctify Yourself.” It was for a task, to cover my nation in a garment of prayer according to Exekiel 22:30 and Jimmy Swaggart’s vision of the Black Storm approaching that matched my demonic dreams of black tornados that came to destroy the land (repeated dreams for three years from age 13 to age 15.)

“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none”

Ezekiel 22:30 KJV

You did not find a man, but a woman.

And by the Holy Ghost Baptism, dreams, visions, and miracles you have brought me here to the defiled land of Louisiana, the same as Jesus was brought to Jerusalem in the defiled land of Benjamin.

In February 2018 you poured out a golden vision upon me of Abraham walking with Lot in the white rocks of Israel with all the scripture verses you revealed to me yourself and told me to

“Arise, walk through the land, in the length of it and in the breadth of it, for I will give it unto thee.”

Genesis 13:17 KJV

As Samuel poured the horn of golden oil on David to anoint him, so you anointed me.

At midnight in May 2018, you said to continue from Baton Rouge to Florida, this completed the length of my walk.

(For the reader, I was saved at 6 years old in Alaska and I had previously walked from above Fairbanks to Seattle, before falling away at 25, then when God brought me to Louisiana, I walked from Seattle to Baton Rouge. And while I planned to walk the land, I had thought it was just for the southern states, but God corrected my plan and said to continue from Baton Rouge to Florida. At that time I didn’t see that the whole length was from Alaska to Florida, this didn’t dawn on me until 2019. But God knew 2018 was the year to complete the length of it. For the Reader, the parentheses added to the verses are for your understanding. My prayer included scripture reading of all the following verses because God operates by the spoken Word. If a prayer is to be accepted, it must be based on scripture.)

In May and June 2019, I walked from Maine to the four main islands of Hawaii to complete the breadth of it on June 30, 2019.

My demons were cast out in May 2019, the day before I got on the plane to Hawaii, like Paul, I had thorns to keep me on task. Full healing came in July 2022 as I continued to sanctify myself. Now in August 2023, I have repented of my judgments, despisings, slanders, and anger and you have commanded me in a dream to knit Psalm 91 to the land. According to Numbers 12:6, you have called me. I have seen your face and I am preserved, Genesis 32:30.

You said to me in 2018 and on August 20, 2019, in conjunction with Hurricane Dorian to come in September 2019,

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you,” John 15:16 KJV

Then you taught me these verses were for me:

Isaiah 54:1-17 KJV

¹Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. ( I had no children, but there will be children born to the Lord through my work for God, and I spent many years in worship and singing.)

² Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; (the same as Jabez prayed to enlarge his coasts, and the Lord in claiming the land stretched for his tent over the nation as I knit Psalm 91 to the land.)

³ For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. (my notes say, here I sit in Louisiana praying that the Lord shall expand to the right coast and to the left coast, amazing.)

⁴ Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. (Speaking to me related to completely giving up my life and my gathered wealth to work for God, and speaking to me about my divorce that was required for this work, that I will not be ashamed or left desolate.)

⁵ For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. (Israel was widowed when Jesus died, and now Jesus is the provider for those who are called to do work for Him, and that I should see him as my Provider, the same as a husband, now that all provision in the world has ceased, that the God of all the earth will provide for me.)

⁶ For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. (This is true about me, the day after I was married, my husband decided he really didn’t want to be married or have a family, and I was grieved for 18 years before I asked for a divorce. It was God moving to deal with the divorce to free me. Then he gave me jobs that allowed me to ski for 5 years of winters, the only goal for my life that was unsatisfied, and after those years were over, I no longer had any desire to travel, which is appropriate for what I’ve been called to, to stay where I am stationed without relationship to worldly things.)

⁷ For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. (He’s speaking to me as the intercessor for America now as it falls away, the same as these next verses were said to Israel.)

⁸ In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. (He’s speaking to me as a representative for the United States, I’ve been through many difficult trials in the last seven years.)

⁹ For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. (The strong delusion Paul mentioned as been poured out on the reprobates, the LGBTism religion is the Strong Delusion that has generated the idea of “Post-Christianity in the United States. As the flood covered the earth and killed the apostate, the Strong Delusion is poured out to divide the sheep from the goats.)

¹⁰ For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. (Once the reprobates have been removed and identified, God will return with mercy on the United States.)

¹¹ O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. (Yes, I am afflicted, but my reward is in heaven.)

¹² And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

¹³ And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. (Speaking again to the land, the younger generations, not the tail end of the boomer generation that instituted abortion and mutilation of children. What seems post-Christian is only for a moment until the old leaders are gone. Their children will have opportunities to be saved and recover.)

¹⁴ In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. (America will recover its faith again.)

¹⁵ Behold, they (demons) shall surely gather together, but not by me (not at God’s command): whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. (My enemies, the nation’s enemies, demonic spirits will gather as George Washington’s prophecy said, but they shall fall.)

¹⁶ Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. (The waster is allowed to destroy, as we are experiencing to eliminate the evil people, setting them up to be judged by the people as worthless.)

¹⁷ No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (And I have condemned the voices of powers, principalities and spirits that have cursed with their voices. I didn’t know the Lord would also call on me to break the curse. There is a second prayer to break the curse, commanded on January 6, 2024.)

Isaiah 54:1-17 KJV

Psalm 149:5-9 KJV ( I didn’t know that I would be asked also to break the curse using Psalm 149 in the second prayer commanded on January 6, 2024. It all fits together.)

⁵ Let the saints be joyful in glory (in heaven): let them sing aloud upon their beds (in prayer on the earth).

⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand (the bible);

⁷ To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; (Its the heathen who have demons and those people who deny God that are full of them, the vengence is the Gospel that gets preached, they have an opportunity to believe and be saved or to be marked for judgment.)

⁸ To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; (the deliverance workers using the Word of God, the Bible, that bind the controller demons and principalities and powers and rulers of the darkness who direct the action of humans in leadership that do evil to society. We are to pray against them to bind them and release the legions of angels from heaven to come to deal with them that will either drive their human hosts to repentance or deliver those humans to trials meant to drive them to the Cross for salvation. The kings and nobles are demonic forces.)

⁹ To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. (The written judgment is the Bible text, and every Christian has been called to cast out the demonic forces, Mark 16)

Psalm 149:5-9 KJV

The blood of Christ will break the chains of Satan and his armies. The cutting tool is the Word of God signed in the blood of Jesus on the Cross.

Isaiah 25:1-9, 26:19 KJV

¹ O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

² For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

³ Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. (Christians with the Holy Spirit Baptism with tongues, those with power.)

⁴ For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. (As Elijah saw, the terrible ones are the demons that blast against the wall of the unseen second heaven to bring storms.)

⁵ Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. (The Lord will deal with the demonic enemies, they shall be brought low.)

⁶ And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. (The wine is the Gospel, it shall become available again.)

⁷ And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. (The curse that has been like a covering over the face of the people in America so that they believe lies instead of truth.)

⁸ He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it. (These verses are relevant today just as they will be after the second coming. This prayer and scripture reading calls these verses into action now.)

⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. (God will be present in their lives once again.)

Isaiah 25:1-9 KJV

Isaiah 26:19 KJV

¹⁹ Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. (There will be revival. The dew on wet herbs is a pleasing aroma. Jesus is the gail of spices from heaven. The earth casting out the dead is the Rapture. It’s on its way.)

Isaiah 26:19 KJV

Isaiah 28:9-13 KJV Addresses the Unbelief about the Holy Spirit Baptism and cessation which is a doctrine of demons.

⁹ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (Paul spoke about the milk of the Gospel, this is the beginning place, but not the strong meat.)

¹⁰ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: (Christians are required to study the Word and God provides knowledge here a little there a little, and if you don’t stop, more and more will be given. Jesus said to those who have more will be given.)

¹¹ For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. (The proof that you have the Baptism is tongues. It is the only sign.)

¹² To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. (The Baptism is the rest and the refreshing, the quickening, but as prophesied, you will believe doctrines of demons and not God on this topic.)

¹³ But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. (For those who fail to understand and obtain the promise of the Father, or reject it, you will fall backward and be taken by Satan, just like Jesus said your faith gets instantly stolen by Satan when you do not understand what you have heard. Satan is religious, so man relies on religion, but God is not religious, God expects obedience to his word. Religion does what it wants directed by demons, the faithful will do what God has said.)

Isaiah 28:9-13 KJV

Psalm 91

To the land of America, the United States, and territories of hundreds of millions of unrighteous and righteous dwelling together in troubled times because they forgot God and went their own way, yet the Lord who is mighty and able to save, has arms outstretched still, therefore, I decree over this land, knit into this land, Psalm 91, the greatest prayer and declaration of protection for the righteous, that the Lord should remember the beauty of holiness in the land from times past and yet draw his curtains over America to preserve her until the Trump sounds and beyond to be Israel’s strong right hand in battle against the man of sin, that Israel will prevail and God’s redemption plan be completed.

Let not the bloodguiltiness by the murder of innocents be accounted unto the land. Take our nation not from us.

Bring an outcry of acknowledgment of our sin from your people who are called by your name, an outcry of repentance in a time such as this O God.

[Insert Jurisdiction Name - “Alaska,” etc ] remember the Lord your God and repent, and know

Psalm 91 KJV, modified to declare protection over and personify the Jurisdictions of the states of the United States as commanded by the Lord.

This prayer, a knitting of scripture to the land of America was commanded by the Lord to his prophet, Valerie Campbell, to decree in the second week of August 2023 as the Island of Maui was burning and on August 17th, Torben Sondergaard was released from the ICE Detention Center in Florida. America has fallen from Grace, yet the arms of the Lord are stretched out still and a complete end of her will not be made, as long as she blesses Israel with help.

May the Lord be Glorified, may the nation revive and the wisdom of the wise become foolishness, may the Lord arise and his enemies be scattered.

Amen, Hallelujah! (7 days to complete this prayer, August 12 to August 19, 2023)

On October 5, 2023, Jesus appeared to me as described to confirm this prayer was accepted in heaven. Then Israel was attacked on October 7, 2023. God has provided peace in turbulent times for the United States and Canada and territories, and God has removed his protection from Israel to advance the time clock.

On January 6, 2024, the Holy Spirit said, “now break the curse on the land.” This meant that because I had claimed the land and knit peace into the land, now the curses against the United States laid by Satan, as depicted in George Washington’s Third Woe, can be broken. The curse was broken in all Jurisdictions effective January 15, 2024.

I started to see the effects of the breaking almost immediately as the cloud of indecision in various places disappeared. That cloud is called a “Power,” it settles in the land befuddles Christians, and generates violence and hate in the unsaved. These are the things that Paul said to pray against and Jesus said to bind.

George Washington’s prophecy of the third woe was a series of dippers of seawater from the Atlantic Ocean (foreign spirits, an invading force) and pouring it out in various places on American soil. When it hit the ground, large black clouds would fog up. These are the Powers Paul mentioned, they act just like fogs. Fog of the mind and indecision, making wrong decisions, violence, demonic infestations, etc. We even have illegal migrants coming across the border without being able to stop it. The Principality lives in Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer, and now the Speaker of the House is confused.

You’ll have to wait for me to publish the next prayer to see how it was constructed to break the curse and what the result of doing so has been. God is moving. Don’t stop praying.

Prophet Elijah the Tishbite from Gilead

Did you know that there are Jews today with the surname “Tishbe"?” It’s true, I saw one of them testifying in a Congressional hearing in 2023. The family surname Tishbe or sometimes Thisbe, became the name of the town where that family lived. Therefore they were known as “Tishbites.” The town of Tishbe, also known as Hazor, was about 10 miles north of the Sea of Galilee. Yes, good things do come out of the northern tribes of Israel (John 1:46, Acts 10:38). Many of the prophets were from the northern 10 tribes because they were wayward. God makes his prophets holy because they speak for Him and bear his Spirit in power. Therefore, the good things are the sanctified human vessels that came from the north. Sanctification comes at the high price of rejection by humanity because God is rejected by man down here in Satan’s kingdom. Even if you’re a Christian, you’re likely to reject a true prophet of God, because they will never tell you anything publicly that satisfies your flesh. To do so dishonors the Lord, and bows the knee to Baal (1 Kings 19:18, Romans 11:4)

James says Elijah was a normal man who acted on his strong emotions.

“Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months,” James 5:17 KJV (three and a half years is a time of testing).

Elijah said of himself,

“…I have been very jealous (zealous) for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”

1 Kings 19:10,14 KJV (Jesus said, Jerusalem kills all the Prophets)

Elijah was a normal man with normal emotions because of death threats against him and the fear caused him to run away to save his life. Elijah was not happy with this aspect of his personality and displayed regret, asking God to kill him because he was no better than his faithless ancestors of the northern 10 tribes. This is typical of a true prophet who has failed or has disappointed God, they will agree they have not done God’s will or have failed, and they will not make excuses, but take responsibility, and will accept the penalty due to them, in return, God has mercy.

Realizing there was a part of himself that was weak and fearful,

“But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.”

1 Kings 19:4 KJV

The Lord responded by sending an Angel to comfort him and to strengthen him with spiritual food that would help him journey the 40 days and 40 nights to Mt. Sinai (Horeb). The Lord understood Elijah’s situation and his fear and ministered unto him and did not rebuke his fear; unlike so many pastors have done trying to teach these passages. Instead, the Lord provided Elijah with strength and purpose to complete his journey. The Lord did not chastise Elijah but helped him. The Holy Spirit was not suppressing evil on the Earth in those days, so the Lord sent an Angel to help. Even though Elijah’s mantle was anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit, like the Rod of God that Moses carried, Elijah was still human and needed a ministering angel. We who are Baptized in the Spirit, are no different. We can be weak at times and fearful because God allows fearful tests of faith to burn away the dross and to turn the silver of salvation into the gold of holiness.

“The furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests the hearts,” Proverbs 17:3 KJV.

^6”And he (Elijah) looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again (was fed and rested).

⁷ And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.

⁸ And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat (food) forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God" (was fed again and strengthened but fasted 40 days and 40 nights the same as Moses did, the same as Jesus did.)

1 Kings 19:6-8 KJV

Elijah was led on a spiritual journey

It began with his running away from government death threats in fear. You would have run too if the government was issuing death threats. A dead prophet is no good to God in the land of the living. Elijah was led to go to the place where Moses received The Law, Mt Sinai, which is Horeb, in Arabia.

Separation

It is in the time of separation, the same as Abraham experienced separation, that God appears or makes himself known to the believer. Being mired in the troubles of life the flesh consumes the mind and it cannot hear God. In the wilderness or the dry place of trials, experiences with God are found. Separation from the world is necessary.

Elijah not only killed the prophets of Baal, but he acted out in fear of being arrested when he killed 102 men coming to arrest him. The Lord told him not to fear but did not rebuke him for killing them (2 Kings 1:10-11.) Elijah was Holy. God doesn’t punish his children as the world does, Hebrews 12.

There are different fears. Fear is evidence of demonic presence. The phrase “Fear not” carries with it the idea you are to bind that fear and give it to Jesus and cast it out of your atmosphere. Some fears don’t leave, because it’s the fear of the demons inside you and you feel it as an emotion. An empty clay vessel has no intruding fears or thoughts. It should be peaceful inside. All gentiles need to cast out their demons. If you don’t have the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues, then you must seek a deliverance worker. If I described how they connect to your mind, you wouldn’t believe it. Demons emote through your mind and cause you to sin in your flesh if it is something that cannot be repented of in prayer it is a demon. Jesus gave his authority to the Church to cast them out, and they cannot be prayed out. You learn to war first by dealing with your own demons. Satan cannot cast out Satan, that’s why you can’t cast them out of others, they are in you. Cast them out or seek help. Examine yourself first. They must manifest to be cast out, many are very strong and don’t want to manifest, only the Holy Spirit Baptism forces them to manifest.

The Christian Testimony is a Witness Before God and Man

It is not acceptable for a New Testament Christian to revile or despise, it is better to be reviled and despised and follow Christ as we will be rewarded for doing this. Reviling is not the same thing as correcting or exposing wrongdoing. Reviling is as the world reviles. 1st Peter has all the secrets to prayer that Jesus said are the keys to the Kingdom. When you obey 1st Peter, God will move in your repentance. You might pray to bless your enemies but you also need to repent of your part of the conflict even when you don’t think you are at fault. When you repent, Satan cannot build strongholds of sin and obstacles in your life.

Elijah is One of the Two Witnesses of Revelation Chapter 11

When Elijah traveled to Mt. Sinai, he was sealed for duty as one of the Two Witnesses of the Book of Revelation. Both he and Moses are those two witnesses, the two olive trees and the two lamp stands before the God of all the earth, Zechariah said. Olive trees mean they are Israelites, and lamp stands mean they have the power of the Holy Spirit, each olive tree has a lamp stand. The olive tree and lamp stand indicate one person, not two. Therefore, each tree has a lamp stand. Both men were at Mt Sinai, both witnessed the falling away of the Children of Israel, and both appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration, Mt. Nebo, as the two witnesses of Jesus Christ in his glory before the Crucifixion. Moses and Elijah appeared at the Euphrates River in Daniel’s chapter 12 vision of the Man in Linen. Moses and Elijah were the “two others” and the Lord told them they would need to witness for three and a half years, which is the length of time the Two Witnesses will preach to Satan’s kingdom in Jerusalem. The purpose of their preaching will be to see if any other lost humans will repent before the Vials of Wrath pour out in Chapter 15.

The Two Witnesses Were in Daniel Chapter 12 - let me show you…

God operates the Courtroom of Heaven. King Jesus is our Defense Attorney. Satan is the Prosecutor, and Ancient of Days is the Judge. The Law is the judge of the Damned (John 12:48) because the lost are still under the penalty of The Law of Sin and Death which is The Law of Moses. God has his witnesses ready for that courtroom, faithful Jews from before the Cross, and Christians after the Cross who are preserved from the Wrath. This is why our Christian testimony is important to maintain. Your testimony is important to God’s Court.

There must always be two or three witnesses to establish a truth (2 Corinthians 13:1), this is why there are three similar Gospels - Matthew, Mark, and Luke. With Jesus established as Messiah in the synoptic (similar) Gospels, John provides the witness of Jesus as God and the teaching on the Holy Spirit.

Just a Few of God’s Great Witnesses

• Enoch and Noah found Grace with God and witnessed the pre-flood apostasy. Enoch doesn’t return as a witness in Revelation chapter 11, he’s the living witness of the pre-flood apostasy.

• Joseph, son of Jacob, is the witness that it was possible to live holy and forgive all, even before the Cross. No sin was recorded of him. He is the type of the Forgiving-Christ, who came down from heaven to the prison of the earth.

• Moses and Elijah: Moses witnessed the apostasy of the 1st generation in the wilderness and Elijah witnessed the apostasy of the northern kingdom of Israel after Solomon. The Jews are expecting them to return at the End of Days, therefore these are the Two Witnesses of Revelation Chapter 11.

• Joshua and Caleb are the witnesses before the Cross who showed it was possible to “fully follow the Lord.”

• Ezekiel and Jeremiah were the main witnesses against the Jewish royalty and priests practicing witchcraft and sacrificing to devils in the walls of Jerusalem. Ezekiel proclaimed the Gospel to them throughout the book of Ezekiel, chapters 18 and 33 more specifically. Repentance is a repetitive theme in these books. Jeremiah was sent also to the Gentile nations and his book is valid for today.

• Zechariah and Nehemiah are the witnesses of Israel as a nation in the post-Babylonian captivity, never returning fully to the Lord. The reason the Glory of God never returned to the Temple. The Jews slew Zechariah between the altar and the Temple, according to Jesus Christ, Matthew 23:35.

• Jesus Christ was the Faithful Witness that The Law was Fulfilled.

• And many, many others.

At the Euphrates River - The Man in Linen

^5 “Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two (Moses and Elijah), the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river (Elijah lived on the west side (that side), Moses on the east side because he never crossed the Jordan (this side).

⁶ And one (of the two others) said to the man clothed in linen (The Lord Jesus who walks on water), which was upon the waters of the river (not over, on the waters), How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? (referring to the time of the Antichrist in Daniel Chapter 12, how long will it take?).

⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen (The Lord), which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven (both hands raised to heaven as Jesus often did), and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half (three and a half years); and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished (to bring them to repentance and out of their denial and blindness which is the power and stronghold of Satan through them).”

Daniel 12:5-7 KJV

Jesus said that Moses was the witness against the Jews (John 5:45), and told those who have spiritual ears that Elijah shall indeed come again in the future, “for to come,” (Matthew 11:14 KJV).

When I (me) saw him at the throne, he was dressed as that man clothed in linen. I saw his pure white linen shirt, righteousness. It had a collar, it was open in the front and the weave was of large fibers, smooth but not refined. An Ephod with loose sleeves. He wore the linen shirt like an outer garment over his golden breastplate and that large belt described in Revelation that was high around his waist.

The linen shirt is like an ephod but with sleeves. In Revelation, we assume the golden belt goes around his white robes but that’s not how I saw him. And while he appeared to have a golden breastplate, it might just as well have been a bare chest because his whole body and clothes were gold, except for his black hair and black beard and the red embroidered diamonds on his golden Middle Eastern slippers.

His wounds are not open in heaven. But the Cross, the literal day of the Cross, is still active in the past because he took me there too the night before to see him hanging on the Cross, as I so desired to have been there on the day. How dare I look away when he was punished for my crimes.

I was given the knowledge of those two others at the river and the Holy Spirit said what I saw in Heaven was also what David saw in his visions of the Lord and what Daniel saw at the River. The man in linen. Jesus Christ.

Now you know more about Elijah. Let’s get back to Chapter 19.

God Delivered Knowledge to Elijah that the Church has failed to Interpret To Our Detriment

Jesus understood what Elijah was shown in 1 Kings 19 when he rebuked the storm.

Overlapping Summary of The Uninterpreted Verses in Judges Chapters 18-21

To become a prophet of the Most High, Elijah would have had the same Numbers 12:6 experience, that all God’s prophets receive.

Elijah was a witness and a prophet of judgment on the Baals and the Northern tribes. God gave him the power to judge and kill the enemies of God to rid the land of them. This is the typology of the Christian doing likewise in the Spirit, not the flesh, to Satan’s Kingdom, including ridding the land of Satan’s armies, the free-range Fallen Angels.

Not all demons inhabit people, although that is the majority.

There are Principalities and Powers and rulers of the darkness that strategize and inhabit the actual land to defile it. When the land itself is defiled, the land must be sanctified, cleansed.

The typology for defiled land in Israel is found in Judges, the land of the Tribe of Benjamin. Benjamin was so overrun with homosexual demons that they refused to come before the other tribes for judgment and God said to destroy the men. At that time there was no repentance available, they were no better than the Gentiles who were God’s enemies and were demonized. I will write a longer post about the uninterpreted chapters in Judges later.

When Ahijah the Prophet gave the 10 pieces of robe to Jeroboam, he kept two pieces for God. Those two pieces were Jerusalem and Judah. God preserved Judah, the womb of Messiah, and the priests and Levites that lived in Judah and rotated through Jerusalem for Temple service; and God preserved Jerusalem, where he put his name, the site of the Altar, The Cross. God preserved only the necessary elements that were required to carry out the Messiah’s birth, death, and resurrection.

The land of Benjamin sits next to the land of Judah. The Temple straddles both. Where the Cross stood was “outside the wall”, or “outside the camp” as was required by God. Why? Because the Cross stood in the defiled land of Benjamin where the unholy homosexual armies of Benjamin were slaughtered at God’s command and where the armies of Israel died fighting them. The only thing that could cleanse the land of Israel in full was the shed blood of Jesus Christ. And the Cross was the place in the defiled land of Benjamin, where that took place.

This is a summary so that you understand that the literal land can be defiled with demons and principalities allowed to control it simply because it is defiled by sin. When you read Judges you’ll see that the armies of Israel had a hard time killing off the men of the smallest tribe because of their demonic strength. It was so bad that no family was to allow their daughters to marry a man from the Tribe of Benjamin. There is so much more to this, but this is enough cross-over to understand the passage about Elijah that needs to be interpreted.

The Land Is Cleansed as the Holy Spirit Baptized Evangelists Lift Up the Cross

The Cross must be lifted up and the Gospel must be preached by Holy Spirit Baptized preachers. Which doesn’t happen often due to the denial of the Baptism with tongues. But, in doing so, the land gets walked, as Abraham walked building altars along the way, and the land gets claimed as David claimed it in war. The scorpions and serpents tread down as Jesus said in Mark 16.

Where no Holy Spirit warriors are, the Holy Spirit doesn’t get tied down to the land to suppress wickedness.

“For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so. Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains. For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.”

Jeremiah 10:18-22 KJV

This is what you are seeing in America. Most of the Holy Ghost Church has gone on to heaven now, all the work God did to pour out his spirit before the world wars has dissipated. Now, all we have is commotion and brutish behavior in our streets and churches. The church flocks are being scattered, falling away. There is no place to meet under his curtains in the secret place described in Psalm 91.

There are only a few that are helping people get Holy Spirit Baptized now, and the rest of the church has denied tongues and the power of God. Jesus is standing outside the church, knocking, trying to get back in. If you can just reject your Doctrines of Demons long enough to repent and be Baptized with power, it will come to you. But separation is necessary, your personal Boot Camp run by God. Boot Camp is where you learn to live by Peter’s teaching in repentance. It begins when you receive the Holy Spirit Baptism of Fire that John said Jesus would Baptize you with. Tip: Satan doesn’t care a bit about Christians without The Baptism. Not one bit. Until you have it you are no threat, but just a babbler.

Elijah’s Day at Mt Sinai in the Door of the Cave

At the door of the cave, Elijah wrapped his mantle, his cloak, around his face and looked as the Lord passed by and saw the concurrent destruction to the mountain that was not caused by God, but by demonic forces that followed God around.

Elijah did not see with his physical eyes because they were under his mantle which covered his face. The mantle was anointed with the Holy Spirit and therefore it had spiritual properties that allowed Elijah to see into the spirit realm as he looked out over the land. What he saw were demons of firestorms, demons of earthquakes, and demons of Tornados (whirlwinds).

Matthew 18:18-20 Binding and Loosing, the Responsibility of the Church

Jesus said,

¹⁸“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind (when you’re standing) on earth shall be bound in heaven (the second heaven where Satan dwells): and whatsoever ye shall loose (when you’re standing) on earth shall be loosed in heaven (the third heaven where God' and the Holy Angels dwell). ¹⁹ Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. ²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” ( If you have the Holy Spirit Baptism with tongues and He agrees with you, you don’t need agreement from another Christian.)

Matthew 18:18-20 KJV

What do we bind?

We are to bind the powers of darkness on the earth and in the atmosphere of the earth which is the second heaven, while we are on the earth, and God will automatically bind those Satanic forces from his throne in the third heaven. God doesn’t just do it, we have to ask him to do it. Jesus says here that it is a group activity for the church, two or more who agree, but you plus the Holy Spirit Baptism with tongues is two, you plus the Spirit. And the Spirit always agrees with the Word, and this is why your warfare must rely on scripture.

You’ve been taught you can’t bind when you are alone in prayer, but this is not true if you have the Holy Spirit Baptism with tongues that you are supposed to have, Isaiah 28:11-13. The Holy Spirit is one and you are one, that’s two! What you can do, without others to agree in other locations is limited to the ground that is yours. That’s why God called me to walk the length and breadth of the United States, but I couldn’t get to all places. I didn’t go to Kansas, or Nebraska, or Oklahoma, or Kentucky, or Missouri, or Iowa, or Indiana, or Illinois, or Vermont. I used to get in my car and go out against those storms and they would not kill as many. I was there to stop Dorian, but not Ian, not Laura, not Ida. God took away my car because he said it was enough what I had done.

Tornados

So the Tornados you see ripping up those states now are uncontrolled. But they don’t have to be uncontrolled. There are some Holy Spirit Baptized Christians in those places, but they deny binding and loosing. Jesus told us what to do, but the Doctrines of Demons deny it and have taken hold in the church at large so that your doctrines are the same as Catholic traditions that make the word of God of no effect (Matthew 15:3-9.)

What are We to Loose?

The Angels of God are greater in size and power than the Powers and Principalities of Satan’s forces. As we bind, we are to loose God’s heavenly army to come down here to our aid and haul those evil forces off to the Abyss or Tarturus, their prison house where they fear to go. Just as Jesus told the Jews he could pray and ask the Father for legions of angels to help him, so can we. He has given us this authority.

Church, if you cannot believe, do not criticize that which you cannot understand. You do not want to blaspheme the Spirit of God that has sent me to tell you these things. Even if the reader does not have a church, you can put these principles to work in your own life for your own family and cast your demons out. You are a vessel and sometimes Christians are filthy defiled vessels full of demons they don’t know about, as a mercy of God because you have no strength or teaching yet, he may suppress them.

Loose yourself from the curses of Satan and the soul ties you’ve created that are attached to accursed objects and evil entities and other people through sex. Yes, it has consequences. That’s why you are supposed to put off all the lusts of the flesh to live holy, as the New Testament teaches.

There is Power in Holiness. Full Repentance with the Holy Spirit Baptism is what causes God to operate through you. Not because you are an Apostle or a Prophet or an Evangelist or a Pastor or a Teacher. But because you have obeyed the Gospel and live Holy and understand God’s way, The Crucified Life (Acts 5:32). And you touch not the unclean things. You don’t take your feet off the Narrow Way that leads to life. This is what Jesus and Paul and Peter and John and the others taught. It is the only thing the New Testament teaches, Sanctification, the Gospel, and Revelation. That’s it. If you are wrapped up in complex doctrines, you’ve missed it, just like the Jews missed it. Without Holiness, the way God defines it, no one will see the Lord (read Hebrews 12:14.)

The Uninterpreted Verses - What Elijah Learned at the Cave 1 Kings 19:9-18

I’m only going to highlight the parts of the verses you need to read for yourself and understand. Go read the passage for yourself, with new eyes.

God, All Three Persons, Manifested at Horeb To Elijah:

“And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, THE WORD OF THE LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?”

1 Kings 19:9 KJV (Jesus Christ the Son of God is the “The Word of the Lord”)

Elijah responded to the Word of the Lord, Jesus Christ, by recognizing him as the LORD God of Hosts, verse 10. “The LORD of Sabaoth,” “The LORD of the Heavenly Armies.” And the “Word of the Lord” tells him to go stand in the mouth of the cave and to watch God pass by and to see what happens.

“And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire A STILL SMALL VOICE.”

1 Kings 19:12 KJV (The “Still Small Voice” is the Holy Spirit)

When Elijah heard the Still Small Voice he wrapped his head in his mantle because he knew a vision was about to be shown to him, verse13. His fabric mantle, as you will see further down, enabled him to see into the Spirit realm, not his physical eyes, but with his spiritual eyes. You can’t do that unless the Spirit comes upon you. Your spiritual eyes are in your chest (the area of your heart, Ephesians 1:18) as the Holy Spirit looks out of your heart, and you see what He sees. Jesus said, “…the pure in heart … shall see God, with crystal clear vision” (Matthew 5:8 KJV) This is what he meant. I’ve experienced this, eyes shut, but able to see all things in a golden glow from the eyes in my chest, as demons come to attack.

Later I asked God not to enable me to see them because I didn’t want to think on their faces, nor remember them. I remember one so beautifully evil with its head like a hunting trophy on a plaque, as I was sent to be the bait. So now they come in costume, as different things that look like children’s toys or Chinese dragons or firework sparklers, or night visions which are interesting because they look like little TV screen boxes that I can see into and my job is to bind what I see on those TV screens and cast them out, from whatever they are doing in the earth. I see it, but I don’t know where it is or who it relates to. A lot of times the night visions have to do with seeing what it is that I have prayed to bind already, and God opens a window to speak into.

“And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in (the doorway) of the cave. And, BEHOLD, THERE CAME A VOICE unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?”

1 Kings 19:13 KJV (“Behold,There Came a Voice,” God the Father now speaks, the same voice from the throne in heaven that commands the Apocalyptic Horsemen to be released.)

This is God the Father. It’s saying “Behold” because Elijah had just seen God pass by before him outside the cave, or he is seeing him concurrently passing by while speaking. Of visions, it’s hard to write them down because of the depths of the meanings. Now, the One who sits on the Throne is speaking instruction to Elijah, telling him God’s will to carry out next; to anoint the new king of Syria, and to anoint Jehu as the new king of Israel, and to anoint Elisha as prophet to replace him in his office (room, we are told here Elijah will soon be leaving). We should know this is God the Father, because it is God the Father who speaks in the Old Testament, according to Jesus, (John 5:17)

Elijah repeats what he said to the Word of the Lord in verse 10 to God the Father in verse 14. The repetition from Elijah indicates that he was very well-experienced in hearing God’s Trinity voice in that he knew to make the same statement again to God the Father as he made to God the Son.

The information Elijah Received from the Full Godhead:

1. Each person of the Trinity was present in this scene. He heard each of their voices, and he obeyed the Word of the Lord and the will of God the Father, and he was empowered to see the demonic forces by the Holy Spirit.

2. Elijah was told that God is not the one who brings Satanic destruction in the form of tornados, winds, earthquakes, fires, etc. Satan acts simultaneously as the presence of God passes by or gets ready to move to stop the movement of God on the earth. This is why Torben was attacked by a Tornado. Demons also carry out the curses declared by Christians and unsaved people because they can defile the Christian’s Testimony and the Name of God by doing so. Break all curses you have ever spoken in Jesus’ name. I know this from my battles with Satan and the rebukes of the Lord against my own curses. Jesus has pulled me out of more than one battle and I have had to repent over my own wickedness that contributed to it, as you should also. Satan arrives as Jesus arrives to deliver. God is glorified when we don’t fear and still look for Jesus regardless of the circumstances, but don’t be proud because you have repenting to do.

We are told in these verses that there are Satanic forces at work on the earth. In the New Testament Jesus told us how to counteract them. To bind them when two or more pray. Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18, say it TWICE which means it is established as the method of dealing with these satanic forces.

In Closing

My interpretation is that two or more people should be filled with the Holy Spirit Baptism with tongues, the same as Elijah had his mantle; or bind their faith to the prayers of the one who has it, and all pray united against the looming destruction of weather predictions.

Note that the people who report from Accuweather, are usually Jews, and their predictions are usually correct. Accuweather was developed by Jews in America. Therefore when they crow about their accuracy, you can bet that God has again worked through the Jews to give us warning systems about the devices of Satan that come to steal, kill, and destroy, referring most often to Tornados. And I know it means tornados because God has sent dreams to me of huge black tornados chasing me and those tornados have personality and voices. They are demons walking. Satan is the Prince of the Power of the Air. The winds and the broadcast airwaves, even the internet.

So, will you bind your faith to mine in these prayers against the destructive weather and defeat the forces of evil that come to steal, kill, and destroy?

Your answer should be YES. Get the MyRadar App. (I’m not sponsored, this is the best tool if you want to see the warnings as they are issued.) You can do the same thing in your churches and against any issue you believe is caused by Demons. Whether pain in the body or criminal behavior. You can bind these things even in yourself to get over your sin problems, depression, and anxiety. You are to have the joy of the Lord, not be subscribed to demons managing your emotions and fears. If you are subscribed to demon management of your emotions as creepy liberals seem to be, you just have not done what Jesus said to do yet. Step out and do it and just see if you can enter the battle. The battle begins with the Spirit Baptism of Fire with tongues (Isaiah 28:11-13) that Only Jesus gives. He is the Baptizer and it is the intended second experience after salvation as recorded in the New Testament. As John the Baptist said, Three Times. When will you believe it is for you? The same as the Apostles and miracle workers of the past had. You must rid yourself of the Stronghold of Unforgiveness, it is the only thing that gets in the way of receiving it.

Seek the Holy Spirit Baptism, stop speaking against it, repent of and renounce your past statements of ignorance, and apologize to the Spirit of God, which is the Father. If you are a Temple and he isn’t in your Temple praying in Tongues, you have not believed, Mark chapter 16.

Stay tuned for Part II…eventually.

I am not an editor, so if there are errors, I usually come back and edit after re-reading again.

God bless you.

How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (““) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the verses in the Bible. I encourage you to read them, how else will you know if I’m quoting correctly? My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself.

This is the duty of the Scribe (writer) / Teacher (explainer) Matthew 13:52

I have added parentheses to the KJV verses to emphasize the points being made, and unless otherwise noted, all scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV) which exists in the Public Domain.

II Peter 3:18

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen”

The English Word “Forever” is Inadequate

"αỉωνος" is the simple singular form of “forever”

The Greek singular word, “forever,” "αỉωνος" is pronounced "eye-own-awhs.” Its meaning is more expansive than the English word could ever contemplate. Eleven pages are devoted to explaining this word, its uses, and its meanings, in Kittle's 10-volume Greek Dictionary.

Tip: The Kittle’s is arranged alphabetically; You must know the singular word form to look it up.

Nature of This Word Study

Here is an attempt to condense the Kittle’s to a concise study with my own comparison to the word “God”. Eternity is both God and Forever and both words have the same conceptual reasoning for translation.

Time and Eternity Merging Into One

The formula of speech regarding the plural Greek word “αỉωνο,” pronounced “eye-own-oh” indicates the concepts of time and eternity will merge, moving toward a final convergence, when time is no more. The word “αỉωνο,” is defined by its context as to whether it means “eternity” in the strict sense of the word, or “uninterrupted eternity.” When used with prepositional phrases this word can indicate the indefinite past or indefinite future.  It is determined that the full significance of eternity cannot be defined with any certainty, therefore this word has many uses regarding the eternity of God and the plan for humans.

Plural Versus Singular

The plural form of the singular word "αỉωνος" is “αỉων,” pronounced “eye-own”  The plural “αỉων” is favored to convey the stricter concept of eternity in religious usage. The meaning of it is traced back to the Hebrew usage and it is not clear if the Septuagint (LXX) translators coined a new usage. The Septuagint was written by 72 Hebrew Priests in high Greek (which is not the same as Koine or common man’s Greek) for Pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus at his request, in the third century BC, before Jesus was born. Three hundred years before Christ, Jewish priests still served God, they had not yet become the slayers that Malachi prophesied them to be in the time Jesus would appear suddenly in the Temple.

Plural Yet Singular

The combination “plural-singular” Greek phrase interpreted as “forever” is “αỉων αỉωνος.” This combo is found in the Greek hermetic writings also, which are the Greek revelatory writings about their mythical gods, the biblical fallen angels, the “Men of Renown.” The combined “plural-singular” is extremely rare and can best be understood as “God of Eternity,” the plural God Elohim with one-eternity future. Hebrew words suffixed with “im” are plural. God is plural with one eternal future.  Because the Law uses the plural singular forms, it is clear that Moses and the Children of Israel understood God was more than one personality, but one entity. Thus in English, we refer to the Godhead, the Trinity, Father, Son, Spirit. Mind, Body, Spirit. We can understand that we are made in his image. Three in one.

Let’s See the Plural-Singular Concept in Scripture

Elohim is the Hebrew plural word for God, used before God revealed himself in person to Moses. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew him only as Elohim, El Elyon (God Most High), and El Shaddai (God Almighty), the plural-singular God. In Genesis, God speaks as one individual voice, but Moses wrote with the plural word Elohim.

Tip: There is NOTHING in Scripture that states God’s names (eight versions of Jehovah or יְהוָה) or his titles cannot be uttered. This is a rabbinical deception of Satan intended to hinder your prayers. The word יְהוָה is Lord, pronounced YeHoVah, translated to English as Jehovah. The Jews do not pronounce the word but may write G_d because they are judicially blind as Jesus said they would remain until they accept him as Messiah.

I’ve used a couple of images to display the analysis of the words “Lord” and “God” to avoid lengthy text.

Zoom in if you are reading in the iPad App, or on the web, the images are vectors. They don’t zoom on android.

Using Deuteronomy 6:4

Hebrew without cantillation marks:  שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָד            
English Word for Word:   “Hear Israel Yehovah Elohim Yehovah One” 

The Hebrew construction proves a singular word, וְר֣וּחַ Yehovah, as a title with the plural word Elohim, for God, thus referring to the three-person Godhead as one Lord. Throughout the bible, וְר֣וּחַ is often translated to English, simply as “God.”

>The Apostolic Bible Polyglot (ABP), used with written permission by the publisher and translator Charles Vanderpool. This bible is the original Greek text, maintained by the Greek Orthodox Church, said to have been used by the Apostles, and translated into English. The numbers are from Vanderpool’s extensive Greek Lexicon with full conjugation of all tenses, not the basic Strongs:

>The Greek Septuagint (LXX): ἄκουε Ισραηλ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν κύριος εἷς ἐστιν - same as the Apostolic Bible Polyglot.

KJV English Translation:

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!", Deuteronomy 6:4 KJV

As you can see the Hebrew plural-singluar concept of God is like the Greek plural-singular concept of Forever. The “plural-singular” word form is “Lord Elohim” or “Jehovah Elohim”, LORD God in English. Plural God, but One Lord.

Moses knew

Moses knew what he was writing. All the rabbinical and Islamic refutations that God is not three persons cannot stand up to the Hebrew word construction found in the Law.

God’s name “El Olam” is translated as “The Everlasting God” or “God Everlasting”. The word everlasting indicates a “forever” without beginning and without end, a timeless existence. Where chronology ceases, and existence encompasses eternity past and stretches into eternity future without end. A double-Mobius infinite existence, a science fiction writer might say. In Christ, this is what we look forward to. All the knowledge of all things and all events are contained in Him from the beginning, by the Holy Spirit, the Tree of Life.

Intermission Break for a Gospel Message

He came down from heaven to the prison to forgive, as the life of Joseph depicted, as Solomon demanded (1 Ki 8:27), as Agur prophesied (Prov 30:4), as Jesus reminded Nicodemus (John 3:4-16, Ps 68:18, Gen 28:12, John 1:51). At the Cross, he was made a curse (Deut. 21:22). He watered the cursed earth (Is 24:6, Zech 5:3) with his sinless blood, dying as the prophesied Seed of the virgin woman (the hired maiden, Gen. 3:15, Gen. 30:18, Is. 7:14). The Seed shedding its hull, the tent/tabernacle of his body, as the seed dies in the earth, to rise again (John 12:24), victorious (Gen 3:15), to new life, an eternal life prolonged (Is. 53); the Cross is the dead almond or olive fruit tree of Israel, having seed within itself (Gen. 1:11-12), the resurrected Jesus is the firstfruits that grew from that seed (Lev. 2:12). The Cross is man’s Tree of Life, and because the Tree of Life is not the accursed Tree of Knowledge Salvation cannot be understood by the mind in the flesh, but only by Faith in the heart of those drawn to the Son by the Father (John 6:44).

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar (The Cross) to make an atonement for your souls: for it is The Blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Leviticus 17:11

Now, let’s go back to the word study:

God Revealed His Title, “Lord,” in Hebrew “Jehovah”, to Moses

Throughout the Bible, God has chosen to reveal himself little by little to the reader. In Genesis God was God Almighty (El Shaddai). In Exodus, God told Moses to call him “Lord”. Moses was to have a personal relationship with God, which was more than Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew.

“2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: 3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan (long before the British or the Romans named it Palestine), the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers (they were Syrian Gentiles before the Law, as well as sojourners with God in Canaan.)”

Exodus 6:2-4 KJV

The Plural-Singular Word Forever

The name “αỉων αỉωνος” is referred to in II Chronicles 6:2, although the English translation refers to God’s dwelling place forever. The plural-singular usage is seen in some of the Apocryphal writings such as Tobias and the historical Maccabees.

There are variations of this word forever throughout the Bible, and some use it to refer to an “eternal king.”  The English translations rely on the simple form of the word to indicate eternity, or forever.  Our human understanding is limited by this temporal plain in that we are limited to the chronological time of creation.  God’s eternal being stretches from before creation to beyond creation and in our struggle to grasp these concepts, the phrase “I am the alpha and omega” is used. From eternity to eternity, without beginning, without end, unending time.

Related to the Redemption of Man

God’s perspective is that the creation and salvation of man are encapsulated in a certain isolated segment of time from creation to the conclusion, but all within his eternity and plan for man to achieve his purpose of redemption and defeat of the Evil. “του αỉωνος,” the simple singular is used in the expression “the end of the aeon” or “end of the age”. 

The age of man, in our current state, is limited; there will be an end to this age. Pastors refer to it as the end of the Church Age, I like to call it the end of the Wheat Harvest because the Holy Spirit came to earth as the administrator of the Church on the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Harvest, the Feast of Pentecost. The age of man as we know it is singular and will end as we know it. I will write an article about the revelation that God has given me about the millennial kingdom of 1,000 years at a later date. The harvest of man is much greater in God’s plan than in man’s current interpretation of it in the book of Revelation.

The Plural Forever

The plural form of the word forever is “αỉων” which can be used to mean “world” in the sense of “time or course of the world,” and is used in this context in Mark 4:19 and Matthew 13:22 in the phrase, “the cares of this world.” Which probably could be better translated as “the cares you have at this time in God’s redemption timeline.” I can see the difficulty translating from Hebrew or Greek to other languages because the depth of meaning of this word is hard to convey without paragraphs of English words. But God is the supervisor of the translations. The diligent are accurate, the rest try men’s hearts.

Paul’s epistles, Hebrews, Luke, and Mark use phrases such as “now in this time…and in the coming age” to get the meaning across. In Luke 20:34, “του αỉωνος,” is used with those who are accounted worthy to take part in the coming aeon and the resurrection, or Rapture we wait for today.

Conclusion

I hope this short study enlarges your understanding of God and His eternity. He stands outside our chronological timeline, so he can step in at any point, and he can prophesy the end from the beginning. Free will alters the details and timeline of the basic plan. Similarly, when those chosen for a task do not accept the work, the plan modifies until the next in line is chosen, born, and accepts the task. The choices of man impact God’s time to completion.

In this age, as the head of the Order, He is selecting his servants for the Order of Melchizedek, who will minister in the millennial kingdom. Satan is out there killing off children via abortion, the same as he killed the children in Jesus’ day, to stop God’s forward momentum.

Whether translated as “forever” or used in the two-fold meaning that is simultaneously plural and singular, the Greek word “αỉωνος” is complex.  In the sense of what the Jews would have understood from the Hebrew usage, which is the purest form, about God’s eternity, they would have known that God was both plural (Father, Son, and Spirit) and eternal, just as the Prophet Agur demanded to know the name of the Son of God (Proverbs 30:4). And as we have no excuse, they had no excuse not to understand, and the veil of blindness was on them because of unbelief, from the day of Moses until today.

I hope this enhances your understanding. God bless your walk and help you. If you are not yet saved, please review the links at the top of this website for more information about Salvation and the Holy Spirit Baptism.

But in these last days, God is also pouring out his Holy Spirit, as it was prophesied, on all flesh and hundreds of millions around the world are receiving him as Savior, even in the Middle East.

So what made you turn away from Jesus Christ the only Savior of mankind?

Unforgiveness is a Device of the Devil.
A Stronghold. An Imagination.
Unforgiveness Blocks Final Salvation.

This is not a doctrine, it’s what the Lord has given me to teach. For those in unforgiveness, this message will be as terrifying as it was for me.

Jesus Christ was a Prophet to fear. The writers after him described Jesus as God’s love toward mankind. But he made a whip to cleanse the Temple. Jesus spoke as God in the Gospels and what he said publicly were the words of his father, the words of the prophets of old, as Moses said he would speak, Deuteronomy 18:18. His most important warning is never taught in church today. The warning about unforgiveness is ignored.

“When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously (has sinned): thou shalt not be afraid of him.” Deuteronomy 18:22

Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and he is “That Prophet.” All his spoken words are the words of God. Therefore his words are to be feared and we should be afraid of him, for he will carry out his word as it is written.

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

Matthew 10:28

The modern Gospel of Love is not the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday (OT), and today (NT), and forever.”

Hebrews 13:8

The end goal is for man to return to Holiness so that he can love. But man is not capable of godly love at the point he begins in repentance. Peter tells us love is the last thing added to man in the sanctification process. God is Love, as John said, but we have a long way to go in repentance to undo what the devils have done before we get there. We are born in the flesh as a brood of vipers, the children of our father the Devil. And there is no love in Satan. Godly love must be added to us. Unforgiveness is the stronghold Satan builds to stop your progress.

Therefore, there will be gnashing of teeth when people who believed they were saved find out they were not saved at all. God gives everyone time to come to repentance for ongoing sins in their lives, but in the end, if you don’t deal with unforgiveness, you won’t enter eternal life. Stephen understood, and his last words were to forgive.

Jesus’ last words were to forgive so that any grudge he may have had in his flesh was extinguished before he left his body. His wrath for the Judgment was stored up long ago against Israel and Jerusalem and the Satanic peoples of the past.

I don’t make the rules. God does. And His judgments are always right.

Buckle up. If you are living in unforgiveness you are living in a demonic stronghold of many sins. It is like a wall whose mortar is fear and pain.

You mean I have to forgive abuse or rape or murder? Yes. You don’t need to engage with the person, but you need to break the Stronghold. The emotions will be repaired and changed over time after you forgive.

Unforgiveness is of the natural man, not the spiritual man.

Old Testament

“Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.”

Leviticus 19:18

New Testament

“Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.”

James 5:9, Matthew 18:34 in a parable.

Spiritual Things

“It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

When Jesus Christ began to teach spiritual truths, then people began to be offended and fall away. Beginning with John 7:1, the Jews sought to kill him. The heart that believes enough to keep believing until the understanding of the hard teachings comes is the heart drawn by the Father. Only the born-again spirit in the man profits, not the flesh. This is the meaning of becoming a living sacrifice, Romans 12:1. Obedience and repentance are the way out of the trial that comes to cause repentance.

“But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.” John 6:64-65

“…present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1

The sin of unforgiveness is probably the place in your life where you will truly feel like repentance is causing you to lay your body on the altar as a living sacrifice. If I thought of the person I had to forgive, I was unable to say the words. I could not do it and God was not helping me to repent. It was something I would have to do on my own, as you will have to do on your own. There are some keys to learning to unlock the Strait Gate and to break down the stronghold.

Becoming holy through sanctification, the shedding of the old man, and the renewing of the mind, is the work God calls us to do. It is the fruit of repentance. It is the fruit of obedience. Looking into the Word is like looking into a mirror. The Law shows us our sin, and the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin (we know with our conscience it is sin).

Key #1

God works one sin at a time, for our benefit, and when we don’t repent, the trials stay hard, and they repeat, at the same point, until we do repent. We need to give him permission to override our mental processes because God has given us free will to choose, a sovereign free will that he will not override unless he has verbal permission to do so.

The Character of Christ, Luke 6:27-36

Joseph is the type of Christ in Jacob’s family Tree. Joseph’s brothers asked him for forgiveness after Jacob died, but Joseph forgave them all long before they had asked. It is documented in Genesis 41:51 when he named his son Manasseh.

The words ‘forget’ and ‘forgive’ are first used with respect to Joseph forgetting all the evil his brothers put upon him and Jacob ordering his sons to ask Joseph to forgive them. Joseph is the type of the forgiving Christ, and he forgave all before the Cross, therefore, God is telling us that we have the ability to forgive as well, and in fact we must, even if it seems impossible, you must forgive in order to be forgiven. As you are transformed in your mind, you will be able to forgive. I’m going to give you the pattern to break the Stronghold.

The Spiritual Man. Reinforced in Peter’s first epistle.

27 “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you {with spiritual ears},

28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. {when you have been abused, this is the first thing you must do}

29 And unto him that smites thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that takes away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.

{Job 16:10, Lamentations 3:30, Matthew 5:39-40}

30 Give to every man that asks of thee; and of him that takes away thy goods ask them not again. {don’t ask for your goods back}

31 And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise.

32 For if you love them which love you, what thank have you? for sinners also love those that love them. {what reward in heaven is there for you?}

33 And if you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you? for sinners also do even the same. {what reward in heaven is there for you?}

34 And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank have you? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. {what reward in heaven is there for you? asked three times, three witnesses}

35 But love you your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. {We are to imitate Christ, and we can, but not if we are living in unforgiveness. It gets in the way and the Spirit of God will not work with it}

36 Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Luke 6:27-36

We Don’t Know Our Hearts

Unforgiveness is a tricky and deceptive stronghold.

1 Corinthians 2:9-14

“9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (Those who keep his commandments, John 14:15, 15:10.)

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. {In your flesh, you understand pleasure and pain, but you cannot know the source of your motivations; God recognizes we don’t know our own hearts}

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

1 Corinthians 2:9-14

Paul is teaching what he has learned by the Spirit, and hoping those hearing have spiritual ears to understand. Verse 11 says in your flesh, you understand pleasure and pain, but you cannot know the source of your motivations.

Unforgiveness is a tricky and deceptive stronghold.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins {motivations}, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”

Jeremiah 17:9-10

We do that which we know is wrong, even though we don’t want to do it, Romans 7:15. Caused by a mind bent toward sin from the Fall and demons that must be cast out.

Unforgiveness is a Stronghold, a Device of Satan

You can’t break a stronghold unless you know how it is made.

2 Corinthians 2:7-11 Having Compassion on the One Who Wronged You

“7 So that contrariwise you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

{Go against what your natural mind tells you unless it gets worse for both parties. Those who need to be forgiven are locked in a cage of pain and fear, just as the person they harmed is also in a cage of pain and fear, and Satan holding the cattle prod to produce more loathing toward each other.}

8 Wherefore I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him. {please tell me that you have love toward this person to confirm that you have learned what I taught you says Paul.}

9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things. {getting past unforgiveness is part of obedience and Paul wants to know if his teaching was adequate help to them}

10 To whom you forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; {we are allowed to forgive sins of others in Jesus Name, even if we don’t have any participation in those sins. Paul is layering the situation with his own forgiveness of the problem hoping the Spirit will move and help them forgive}

11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

Key #2

Unforgiveness is a Device of Satan, His Advantage Over Us

We are to have compassion for those who harm us and forgive. We bow down in prayer against their demons and turn them over to God. We are free, we’ve side-stepped Satan’s strategy to snare us, and God will repay them. We are to ask him to bless the person, and perhaps he will save them.

Satan builds these strongholds through real-life experiences and mental tortures and uses the demons in people to attack you, uses the generational demons in your bloodline to destroy your family relationships, and then in your flesh you believe you cannot forgive because of the fear and pain of losing control, usually over others, it is an imagination that keeps God from helping you, and in this Satan does have an advantage over you.

A lifetime in church only to go to hell because you refused to forgive, whitewashing yourself in the Gospel of Love, which is not the Gospel of Christ. This is why Paul was adamant about forgiving. I can testify that when you break the stronghold and God changes how you think and feel because you have obeyed, you will not regret it, things from the past no longer come to mind.

You don’t need to interact with those who hurt you but after some years, you won’t even care if you have to speak to them on the street. Because Satan is no longer poking your spiritual infirmities with his cattle prod of reactions.

Paul is now coming to them in the spirit of Christ, in his meekness and gentleness to help them pull down their strongholds mentioned in Chapter 2 about the unforgiveness stronghold or any other stronghold of sin built by Satan:

2 Corinthians 10:1-7

“1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:

2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

{God will be watching and testing his work in you, and you will need to examine yourself also and continue in repentance to ensure the sin of unforgiveness is driven out of you. You may experience many rounds of testing, we are more broken then we know. You will feel like a living sacrifice as your emotions are stripped and your heart is remade on the Potter’s Wheel. Sometimes being crushed in the process.}

7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.” {not so fast there believer…}

{Your actions outwardly do not satisfy God. Telling yourself you are Christ’s and its all going to be okay, is not adequate to deal with unforgiveness. You must be honest with God in prayer. You will be tested until the roots of this stronghold are dealt with and every root of bitterness has been cut off.}

2 Corinthians 10:1-7

The Lord’s Prayer Reminds Us to Repent of Unforgiveness

“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” Matthew 6:12

Debts = sins; Debtors = those who sin against us.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15, Luke 11:4

How Many Times Per Day to Forgive

Compare Matthew and Luke

“21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Luke 17:3

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

Matthew 18:21-22

“3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

Luke 17:3-4

Luke writes if the offender asks for forgiveness, then you must forgive seven times per day; Matthew writes that you must forgive seventy times seven, 490 times per day. Joseph forgave all before he was asked to forgive at the time his eldest brothers were in their 60s and 70s. As your sin is forgiven I tell you, the sins of others against you will not bother you as much, but if you don’t deal with the stronghold, you will never get past unforgiveness to have compassion on sinners. Until then religion will rule your life because the character of Christ will still not be formed in you.

Not everyone has a stronghold of unforgiveness. But if this is a sin in your life, you must defeat it. The following is the scripture that tells how God will revoke your salvation if you refuse to forgive.

The Wicked Servant Had God’s Forgiveness Revoked - Salvation Revoked

Matthew 18:32-35

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

{You asked me for Salvation and I forgave you all your sins}

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

{Shouldn’t you now have compassion on others as I had on you for the debts they cannot repay? When someone harms you it really is a debt they cannot repay, even if it is only a small harm.}

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

{The wicked servant who did not forgive was delivered to the demons until he could repay God for all of his sin, and none of us can repay what we owe for our sin without Christ’s sacrifice for us. And the deal is he forgives us and we forgive others. To accept the deal is to agree to forgive regardless of what you think in your flesh.}

35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if you from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.”

{It’s not Jesus revoking your salvation, but God the Father who will revoke your salvation, if you do not forgive every sin done to you. Nothing from this world or the flesh will be allowed in heaven.}

Matthew 18:32-35

General Prayers are Hard to Get Answered with Unforgiveness

Compare Mark and Luke

“25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Mark 11:25-26

“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and you shall not be condemned: forgive, and you shall be forgiven” Luke 6:37

By now you probably feel very condemned. Don’t feel that way. While you are under the blood there is now no condemnation, Romans 8:1. Deliverance is beyond the scope here but to break a stronghold, self-deliverance is necessary to some degree because it’s likely demons are involved. Repentance will take you to the solution and you can deal with the demons later.

My Stronghold Definition

A Satanic stronghold is a set of sin rights and soul ties that keeps you bound to others and demons and ultimately keeps you locked into the sin of unforgiveness. In your unrenewed mind, it can feel like a safe space where you retreat to hide from having to face more pain and fear. A stronghold can be mental or emotional, a set of ingrained habits around avoiding certain people or issues. This is my definition based on my experience. It is strong and it has a hold on your belief system and your actions so that you can’t get free and choose to think differently.

A Set of Sin Rights

• Unrepentant sins are the building blocks in the wall of a stronghold.

• The sins of the unforgiveness stronghold are usually hidden from your mind so that you don’t recognize you are doing them. If you saw them in a list, you would agree these things are sins against God. But in your actions, you believe you are entitled because look what that other person did to you and God is not against self-protection.

• The failure to get free of the underlying sins that support the structure of the stronghold is the reason you can’t get free of unforgiveness.

• Each type of sin in the stronghold must be identified, admitted to, and repented of in prayer before the Lord.

To Break the Sin Rights

• You must identify the sins in the wall of the stronghold.

• The heart must repent verbally out of the mouth for each underlying sin.

• Usually, these sins must be kept in repentance for a long while. You will mourn these sins and weep over them as you work with the Lord to get free.

• My repentance of unforgiveness was very hard because I could not say “I forgive,” it was impossible, my mouth refused to form the words. I opted to use my prayer time to describe what these sins were, how they affected my life, and why I wanted to get them out of my life. This was a process of me learning what my sins were and making a list of them, even though I could not yet repent. And while I was dealing with unforgiveness I didn’t know it was a stronghold until the Lord showed me in the scripture I listed above.

• You’ll likely need to ask others to pray for your success to repent. The Lord wants to forgive, but he also wants you to identify the sins and understand how they affect your life. You’re trying to break down what Satan has built.

• Pay attention to how others describe you. You’ve probably already heard them say, “Your problem is that you won’t forgive.” This can help you.

• Ask God to give you words that describe the sins. Your born-again spirit knows what the problems are, but you need agreement in your mind that you have these sins.

• Identifying the sins in a stronghold is an act of self-deliverance.

• Your emotions will not change right away, so you will have to work through repentance still being hurt and angry. Your emotions will be changed as time goes forward, but you must first repent and say that you forgive.

A Set of Soul Ties

• Soul ties attach your soul to your good and bad relationships and the demons in the other person.

• When you have a strong attachment to someone, there is a soul tie.

• Obsession with a person or object is a type of soul tie.

• Marriage creates a soul tie.

• Bonded friendship creates a soul tie.

• Sex creates a soul tie with another person. Their infirmities and sins and their demons now influence your life, even if you never see them again. This is why all sex outside marriage is prohibited for your spiritual benefit.

• Soul ties to demons are created through occult practices and masturbation.

• The Native Americans have soul ties to what they call animal spirits and these are demon spirits.

• Trans-community has a gender called “two-spirit”, this is a demon soul tie and it is likely more than one demon.

• It’s possible if a demon leaves you, it will become more firmly attached to the person you shared it with.

• To break a soul tie, you must repent of the sin that built it, renounce that activity, bind Satan, bind the demons by the name of the activity, and say “I break the curses and soul ties…” God has given you the power to break them.

Key #3

Some of the Sins of the Unforgiveness Stronghold to Get You Started:

Examine your unforgiveness stronghold in prayer. Here are some sins that might seem familiar to you:

• Holding power over others.

• Entitlement to hold power over others.

• You feel it is your right to hate them because look what they did to you.

• Lying to yourself about your participation in the sin you hate someone for doing to you. You are not at fault for being attacked, but check this and see if it makes sense to you. Sometimes “shame”, a demon name, keeps you from repenting or acknowledging something in yourself, that you hate the other person for doing to you.

• Hate, anger, malice, and so on.

• For Trauma, it’s not so simple, and it can be very hard to even examine any aspect of your unforgiveness. But it must be done. You must love God and desire salvation more than you love to hold others accountable.

A Prayer to Say When You Just Need God to Make a Way to Forgive

When the idea of repenting of unforgiveness is so repugnant to you that you can’t even say the words or even look at unforgiveness as a sin you must overcome, say this prayer:

“Lord, I want to repent, but I just can’t seem to do it, and I know that if I don’t forgive, I will not be forgiven. Lord, I need your help. Please pry this unforgiveness out of my hands, like a parent takes a dangerous thing out of the hands of their child, take Satan’s advantage over me away Lord because you said in your Word, that sin shall not have dominion over me. You told Cain in Genesis 4:7 that bringing the right sacrifice would keep sin from ruling over him. David cried to you Lord to keep him back from presumptuous sins and asked you not to allow them to have dominion over him in Psalm 19:13. You said in Romans 6:14 that sin shall not have dominion over me because I am not under Law but under Grace. Father, please help me to analyze and repent of my unforgiveness, in Jesus’ name. Take this dangerous thing from me that threatens my salvation. Lord, please separate my thinking mind from the traumatic emotions and memories that keep me from repenting, make those things seem so far away to give me space to deal with them according to your Word. Make my mental paths straight before you. I give you permission to override my sovereign will to rewire my mind in obedience to your Word.”

Allow the Spirit to bring the names of the people to your mind, and say out of your mouth that you forgive them and ask the Lord to bless them. Yes, to bless them, you do not have to have contact with them, and you don’t need to name the blessing, God will decide all that. Your emotions will be repaired over time.

Any fears or hatreds that you experience aren’t of yourself but demons who hate and fear being cast out. This was their stronghold over you. They implanted the imagination that you are unable to forgive.

You must forgive. You are not required to have a restored relationship that puts you in harm’s way or any mental trauma. Saying you forgive is obedience and love toward them. Asking God to bless them is love toward them.

Forgiveness sheds the old man. Holiness heals the body.

Peter’s epistles hold the keys to the requirements and they reinforce the words of Jesus. Read 1st Peter and ask the Lord to show you anything meant to help and instruct you.

Key #4

It does not matter in this world what Satan does to you, you must obey God. This must be your thought to overcome. Repentance is where your daily relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit is formed. Jesus said three times to pick up your cross daily and follow him. Daily means daily prayer, and following him means repentance on the narrow path that leads to life.

Unforgiveness blocks God’s blessings and healing.

Make Satan put down his cattle prod of reactions by forgiving. Forgiveness releases you from his control. Repentance of this stronghold takes time, but it is well worth the effort. You can be free.

“For with God nothing will be impossible,” Luke 1:37

God Bless You.

“Become Complete,” 2 Corinthians 13:11

A light snack before the next big meal:

Man is not complete without the Necessary One who is Jesus Christ.

The Greek word pattern:

• “Chraomai” means "to furnish what is needed.”

• ”Chrio” comes from “Chraomai” and means “to rub with oil.”

• ”Christos” comes from “Chrio” and means “anointed.”

God came in contact with man to provide the Necessary One, the Savior.

The name Jesus Christ is a title name of the “I am” and means “Anointed Savior”

They knew his name was Yeshua or Salvation in the Hebrew Old Testament. Yeshua becomes Oshea, which becomes Joshua, which becomes Jesus in Greek. The name Jesus means Salvation. Most often when you read the word “salvation” in the Old Testament, the Hebrew word is “Yeshua.” Hard to miss.

Anointed Salvation or Anointed Savior.

The Necessary One to make you whole. Jesus Christ.

“But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing,” James 1:4 (Sanctification)

“… you are complete in Him,” Colossians 2:10

(He is the last step of the manufacturing process, “the finisher” of your faith, Heb.12:2)

How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (““) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the verses in the Bible. I encourage you to read them, how else will you know if I’m quoting correctly? My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself.

This is the duty of the Scribe (writer) / Teacher (explainer) Matthew 13:52

I have added parentheses to the KJV verses to emphasize the points being made, and unless otherwise noted, all scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV) which exists in the Public Domain.

David was Born Again, He Understood Sanctification, Instituted Worship, and Taught the Gospel Message

Out of the pages of the Old Testament, arises David, a singular individual, raised in nature, in the Judean pastures of Jesse. The biblical sense of him is much like how Michelangelo sculpted him. The oversized right hand of the sculpture represents the Right Hand of God, Christ.

David’s sin was a secret despising of God. For this sin, David was then chastised by God with a crucible of family strife that drove him to a lifestyle of relentless repentance, prayer, and worship. Out of this crucible came the pattern of Christianity and the life pattern for Messiah, the Son of David.

David’s heart was able to despise God, even though he loved God, and even though he had the Holy Spirit to the same degree as the Old Testament Prophets. Sacrifice covered his sins, until the seminal sin with Bathsheba that would launch David into a New Testament lifestyle.

In all of us, there is a place that despises God because we descend from Adam. It was in Moses, It was in Samson, Judas, Paul, and Peter, and it caused Demas to fall away. But the great recoveries are found in James the unbelieving brother of Jesus Christ, Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles, and in King David, the typology for Jesus Christ. This means that when you locate the place in your heart that despises God, there is Grace, and renewal available to you, greater now since the Cross than before it. In the Old Testament, they were commanded to sanctify themselves, but there was no teaching about repentance, just the command to turn back to God and to cease sin. The New Testament provides more light. But still, a teacher is necessary. I hope this article helps you to find your way out of the Chastisement you may be in and that it helps you to chase God for sanctification the way David did, with his whole heart.

Following David’s example, we all must locate the secret place in our hearts, the room in the unrenewed mind, where we despise God and slay the Serpent’s attitude with relentless repentance, prayer, and worship.

I’m going to do my best to give you an appreciation for David, as the prophecy of Jesus Christ and Christianity. David is the one who lived all the concepts together as a single Old Testament example. Even though David lived by the Law, he lived as a Christian in repentance, prayer, and worship with the power of the Holy Spirit, the same as Jesus Christ and all empowered Christians since the Cross. David is a prophetic bridge from the old to the new. Just like Jesus lived as the bridge fulfilled and straddled the old and the new. The Son of David, the son of man, follows the life pattern of David more closely than the life pattern of Moses.

• Where David failed, Jesus came teaching against the source of the failure.

• David was raised in nature, separated, the same as Jesus.

• David learned from God as one separated, like Abraham. Psalm 18 is his last song, from his deathbed, as recorded in 2 Samuel chapter 23 and it contains David’s spiritual journey with God. In verses 43 and 44, Jesus Christ speaks through David to prophesy the coming salvation for the Gentiles.

• David was the family shepherd, a forgotten slave, as Jesus is the Great Shepherd, and sold to the priests for the price of a slave. Mark 9:35, Mark 10:44; Matthew 12:50 KJV.

• The Holy Spirit rested upon David and his body was quickened with supernatural physical strength and speed in the battle, so strong that when he pulled the string of an iron bow, the iron would break. The Holy Spirit rested upon Jesus Christ giving him supernatural knowledge of the plans of the enemy and enabling him to outwit them and escape physical danger.

• Jesus suffered family dysfunction and death threats from his brother James because David suffered similarly with death threats from his son Absolom.

• Jesus was opposed by the Pharisees the same as David was opposed by his court counselors and the elder statesmen of his family.

• God subjected David to a family crucible that became his Gethsemane olive press and out of him came relentless repentance, prayer, and worship.

• Jesus, the true olive, was tested at the Gethsemane olive press, and out of him came the olive oil, the Holy Spirit, intercession, and obedience.

• God chose David, long before God told Samuel to fill his horn with oil and go, the same as Jesus Christ who was crucified before the foundation of the world.

• David was rejected by his entire family, the same as Jesus, except for David’s elder sister, Zeruiah, who is memorialized in scripture. Zeruiah is remembered throughout David’s story in the repetitive phrase, “the sons of Zeruiah.” Similarly, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the sister of Lazarus, ministered unto Jesus and are remembered eternally in scripture because he was homeless with no place to rest his head.

• The practice of Christianity follows the life pattern of David in repentance, prayer, and worship, as confirmed by the life of Jesus Christ, the model man, the second Adam that we are to imitate. The Holy One. We are to follow in his footsteps, the first of many brethren.

• Both are legends within their earthly lifetime.

It is no coincidence that faith jumped from Abraham to David to Jesus, 14 generations between each, generations of double sevens. These are the life patterns believers are to follow, by the double sevens the teachings are complete in the examples of these three men, Matthew 1:7 KJV.

David’s Born Again Salvation Request & His Demand to be Sanctified

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me"

Psalm 51:10 KJV

This verse summarizes the born-again salvation and sanctification request. David asked God to be born again. No one is transferred from death to life in either testament without becoming born again. Abraham was the first. The OT operation was God appearing to them. If God appeared to them, their line was preserved, Genesis 32:30. God appeared to all Israel at Mt. Sinai. David is the first to ask of his own will in Psalm 51. Jesus is the Son of David, so we all ask for Salvation the same way, we ask to be made clean with a new revived spirit that was dead because of sin. In Captivity, God sent Ezekiel to preach the Gospel to the priesthood, in Ezekiel chapters 18 and 33 These chapters tell them to turn and repent from the sins outlined. Paul made a formula for his Gospel message. By studying, you will find the verses in the OT that Paul brought forward into the NT.

“Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.” Psalm 51:13 KJV

David wrote everything he knew to teach, making good on this promise to God, and today we have his psalms as prayers to pray in the dire straits of trials on the narrow way.

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward." Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer” Psalm 19:7-14 KJV

This is the foundation for the Gospel found in Romans and a summary of sanctification found in Psalm 119. Verse 5 says that there is a race to be run and the Bridegroom, Christ, has come to help you run it. David knew the Bridegroom was Messiah.

“Nicodemus (a Pharisee) answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, we (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) speak that we (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) do know, and testify that we (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) have seen; and you receive not our witness.”

John 3:9-12 KJV

Jesus’ answer to Nicodemus is an answer to the question in his heart. God is saying, the scriptures are true and nothing was hidden from the Jews. If David knew the Gospel enough to teach it, then surely Nicodemus should have been as educated.

David’s Roles are the Typology of Christ on Earth:

• Shepherd

• Servant to his family

• Commander of the Host of Israel and Gentile troops.

• King

• Prophet

• Teacher of the word.

• Worship leader

• Architect of the Temple

• Conquerer - gathered a storehouse of wealth to build the Temple

• Overcomer of sin

David knew from the Law that praise belonged to his tribe, Judah, so he mandated worship as part of the Levitical Tabernacle service. The Levite sons of Korah became the master musicians who performed David’s psalms and wrote their psalms after his example.

David established the Levitical priestly courses of service; each course having its set of duties in rotation. The priestly courses were carried into the service of the Temples of Solomon and Herod. John the Baptist’s father Zecharias was part of the priestly courses.

Your Heart - The Inner Soul and Spirit

Before I talk about how to be sanctified from continuing sin, you need to understand the Heart of Man.

The heart is the center of the moral life.  The heart is the factory of thoughts and desires, personality, and will.  Not the brain, which is simply a computer that runs the body. Out of the heart’s overflow, man speaks and acts, whether for good or for evil.

“Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.” Deuteronomy 10:16 KJV

Circumcision is the token of the covenant because it is a cutting away of the flesh that is sensitive to worldly lusts. A separation from the flesh. This is the OT version of laying aside the deeds of the flesh, the old man. Cutting away the foreskin is a prophecy. This is why after Christ had come, circumcision was not required to become a Christian, Romans 2:28-29,3:30,4:10. Abraham was accounted righteous before he was circumcised, his heart was circumcised by faith.

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good, and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks”

Luke 6:45 KJV, Matthew 12:34 KJV

We all know people who claim to be saved but have a continuous stream of foul language because the abundance of their hearts has a greater percentage of unsanctified evil than sanctified good. They reside in unrepentant rebellion.

We are not indifferent to our sins. God is not unknown. Romans says he is known to all, for he formed the conscience of man. Therefore, we must root sin out in all its forms while we have Grace in the lifetime remaining to do it.

There is a percentage called the abundance of the heart out of the 100% at salvation. A portion that is either abundantly good or abundantly evil. At salvation, it is the abundantly good percentage that asks to be saved and forgiven. For the born-again, a new spirit is given, and life becomes the war between flesh and spirit to clean out or renew the portion of the heart/mind that is evil so that God can say the whole heart is fully his. As a child learns to walk stumbling, so too does the heart of man stumble while learning to walk and run; running he might fall from time to time, but then, with the help of the Holy Spirit through repentance and man’s perseverance and patience during the process, waiting for the change, he mounts up with wings as eagles as the heart is transformed to complete the glorified spirit man.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 KJV

My paragraph above illustrates from crawling to walking to running to flying, but God emphasizes the concept in reverse. He’s saying once they have entered into the process of sanctification, he will not fail to bring them home. Jesus talked about “entering in” and he was talking about the Strait Gate to the Narrow Way that leads to life. Peter’s epistles hold the keys to the gate because God gave him the keys to the kingdom, and I will write about that at a different time.

To be indifferent, willingly ignorant, or to assume that we have a license to continue in our sin is to set aside the intent of God sending his Son to the bloody death penalty which we deserve. Paul called the hypocrites whited walls because they whitewashed the truth.

“But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves,” James 1:22 KJV (don’t deceive yourselves that hearing is all there is.)

“Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance,” Matthew 3:8 KJV

God sent Jesus to forgive, yes. But he sent Jesus to restore man to his original state of holiness through repentance. David repented and demanded God to show him any wickedness remaining so he could repent of it. David sinned, but it was the abundance of his heart, the inward man, that desired to be sanctified, made holy, washed clean, and he was not satisfied until he was immune to temptation. He kept going. And we should keep going.

“Thou has proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.” Psalm 17:3 KJV (because the mouth speaks from the heart)

“You have tested my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.” Psalm 17:3 NKJV

He’s saying that his heart is clear of sin and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth speaks no transgression according to Psalm 119:10,11.

“With my whole heart I have sought thee…Thy word I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Psalm 119:10,11 KJV

I believe that Psalm 119 was written long before David, perhaps written by Moses. It is written in the format of what old-time teachers used to call “a primer”, a teaching tool for beginners. Psalm 119 is written as a sanctification journey, linked to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph, through Tsav, a teaching primer, to make learning easier, something they could memorize. When you speak it out loud and mean it, God begins to work according to the verses where your mind must be renewed, he can work because it is according to scripture and his will to sanctify. God’s own heart wants to sanctify.

Deuteronomy 4:29 seems to be the first reference in the Law to finding God when the seeker searches for him with a whole heart and soul. Doing everything to obey the statutes of the Lord. After being sent to Babylon, Jeremiah reminded them using the same words.

“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul,” Deut. 4:29 KJV

“And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart, “ Jeremiah 29:13 (the theme of my website, to teach you how).

Loving God begins with keeping his commandments and statutes:

“And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments,” Exodus 20:6, Deut. 5:10

Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments,” John 14:15

God chose Abraham for one reason:

“For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep ‘the way’ of the LORD, to do justice and judgment (these include mercy); that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him. Genesis 18:19

Of Abraham, God said to Isaac:

“Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws,” Genesis 26:5.

Before the Law was given, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were Gentiles saved by faith. Their faith was exhibited in their actions. Abraham did what God said to do immediately and without complaint, he simply obeyed God’s voice. Keep in mind that because Christ has come the command is to become sanctified, holy, not to do the Law because it is enmity against us and meant only to show us that we are sinners. The Law cannot save.

If David pursued God with all his heart and became sanctified before the Cross, we Christians have no excuse not to follow his example and Paul’s teachings to rid ourselves of sin even its temptations. I’ve experienced what I’m teaching.

Most give up and say it’s impossible, but that’s because they have not been taught. You can learn to become immune as David did. The Lord makes the changes, you simply need David’s determination to be a doer of the word in repentance and mourn over your sin according to the ladder of the Beatitudes.

“Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God,” Matthew 5:8.

"Without holiness, no one will see God,” Hebrews 12:14.

The crowning principle of the Bible is found engraved on the High Priest’s crown, “Holiness to the Lord,” Exodus 39:30.

Understanding Sin and The Law

The Law incites, stirs up, and awakens the Sin Nature (the Rebel) within us. The Law makes us realize we are Rebels against God. The Sin Nature is inherited from Adam’s corrupted DNA. The blood of a child is created by its father’s chromosomes. This is why Jesus had to be born of a virgin, without male chromosomes. Jesus was born sinless without Adam’s corrupted DNA. The Rebel despises God and that rebel is YOU.

God didn’t want to add the Law, he had to add the Law. Galatians 3:19 the Law was added because of transgression. The Law was nailed to the Cross for those who by Faith receive Christ as Savior. However, when faith doesn’t cure our sins, the Law picks up where it left off until we repent and recover our Salvation. Like Paul. ‘Once saved always saved,’ is a doctrine of pride and Demons. Humility is required. After Paul was saved he said “I died,” in Romans chapter 7 trying to teach not to use laws to live right, but instead Faith.

Jerusalem was to be a brood of chicks gathered to Christ, Luke 13:34; instead, she was a brood of vipers, the offspring of the Serpent because of the abundance of evil in their hearts, Matthew 12:34. When they returned from Babylon, they killed their Prophet Zechariah between the altar and the Holy Place, Matthew 23:35, proving they never returned to God.

In the 400 silent years between Malachi and Matthew, they reverted to Levi and Simeon, the murderers of the men of Shechem, “instruments of cruelty” as Jacob said they would be in the last days. God had left them alone without any guidance, to rise as the slayers of the Lamb, as prophesied. God used their religion for a purpose. To shed the Blood of Christ. He forgave all that they did to him, any grudges that he might have had against them on the Cross before he died, as Joseph forgave his brothers, but this did not negate the need for them to accept Christ as their Savior by faith.

Jesus said if they failed to come to him they would die in their sins because they no longer had a cloak for their sins, John 15:21-24.

21 “But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 “He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 “If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.

Jesus’ words refer to the words God gave Moses about “That Prophet” in Deuteronomy 18:19,

19 ‘And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him, Deuteronomy 18:19.

It Is Faith In The Blood That Saves

“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar (The Cross) to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood (of Christ) that maketh an atonement for the soul,” Leviticus 17:11 KJV

The Law Cannot Save - It Only Enrages The Rebel

“The Law is our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster,” Galatians 3:24-25 KJV

“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission (of sins),” Hebrews 9:22 KJV

Notice it says “almost” all things are purged by the blood of Christ. When you get saved, God gives you a new spirit, you are a new creation. But you still have the old soul and the old mind that must be renewed to conform to your new spirit. Continuing sin caused by the unrenewed mind is the remainder to deal with it through repentance on the path of sanctification. The Rebel is now your unrenewed mind and your flesh. You need the Holy Spirit Baptism to bring Christ in as close as a brother, or you are walking alone.

Demons are a fact of Gentile life, they must be cast out, not prayed out, cast out. Soul ties and curses need to be broken. Salvation prepares you to receive The Holy Spirit Baptism which is the power to become the sons of God. To deal with your demons you must obey Mark 16:17. Only those who speak in new tongues can get rid of their own demons.

Weakness

Because the church is no longer preaching against sin. It is rare to find a church that has not denied the Holy Spirit. Once denied or blasphemed, the Holy Spirit will not work in that church. The unforgivable sin. Conviction in the church is rare and Satan as an angel of light is behind the pulpit teaching his Doctrines of Demons. Doctrines of Demons are the things you learn and believe that keep you from getting rid of your demons. Few believers are learning how to be sanctified. Sanctification immunizes the saved even against temptations and the dominion of sin by the renewal of the soul and mind, and only God can perform the internal renewal.

In the Old Testament God says many times, “You will know I am the LORD.” It means that he will renew your mind as you take personal responsibility to repent and walk holy. And you will know you cannot claim that you changed yourself.

The Secrets

1. In Prayer, give God verbal permission to override your sovereign will to rewire your mind. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

   You might be mired in porn and adultery or crime, but if you give him verbal permission to override your will, the change comes much faster. By saying he has permission out loud, any opposition to his efforts by your flesh is negated, because it is your heart speaking out of your mouth, the true you, and God doesn’t need permission from the flesh. If you pray in silence, he’s not hearing permission, John 5:30. He judges that which he hears. And when the change comes, you will only be able to say that you know he is the LORD. The Covenant Keeping God. Because you cannot change yourself.

2. He works one sin at a time. Pick one and stick with it in repentance until you see change. The Holy Spirit will tell you what, he deals with the sins that keep you unable to learn first.

3. God will test his repair work in you to see if you fail the test. If you fail, go back to repentance. He works by degrees and iterations, just like a software developer.

4. There will be a final test of the repair. This is when you will recognize the temptation and see that it has no effect. If you fail, do not give up. It means there may be a return to the potter’s wheel, which is a greater chastisement because whatever you were to learn under the smaller tests did not cause you to learn to change your behavior.

5. Your progress toward full eradication of sin moves forward the faster you learn to change your behavior.

6. You might need to pray for help with your unbelief in the areas you just can’t seem to conquer, or, you may have a demon in the area of failure that must be cast out before God can repair your mind.

Don’t Adopt Personal Laws

General prayer doesn’t activate God’s work to change you. Giving yourself rules as a set of personal laws to live by only incites the Sin Nature to become more sinful, because rules and religion are not the way, as Paul found out in Romans chapter 7, verse 7:13. Sin is incited by spiritual laws, whether from The Law, or personal laws. Because the Law’s purpose is to drive you to Christ, to notify you that you have a big problem. This is why small sins become bigger sins as an alert system, they wake up the Rebel again who will beat you up until you recommit yourself to Christ and get back on the narrow way of repentance.

There are many commentaries online about Romans chapter 7 and the sin spiral. You can google them. Paul’s teaching in Romans 7 explains how he was unsuccessful in getting rid of his continuing sin when he applied the Law or personal laws. His sins got worse, and he lost his salvation, “he died,” until he repented and learned how to stay on the narrow path. He recommitted himself to Christ and began again. He didn’t continue without repenting. His language may be hyperbole, but it matters not. What is clear is his explanation.

Only in repentance at the foot of the Cross, asking God to perform his promises outlined in scripture and permitting him to rewrite your software gets the job done. Each of the names of God contains the promises of the New Covenant. Hallowing his 8 names as part of the Lord’s prayer pattern gets the Spirit working and Psalm 119 is a more detailed exercise. The Prayer pattern was given so that you don’t need to work hard to figure it out. His yoke is light. Here is the order of prayer that works for me as laid out in scripture examples.

• Worship

• Hallowing his eight covenant names using the Lord’s Prayer pattern

• Repenting of any known continuing sin

• Taking personal responsibility for my sin, why I can’t seem to stop it, what the reasons are that I feel entitled to do it; all these things I lay out in prayer out loud, and I give him verbal permission to override my sovereign will to change me, then ask for forgiveness.

• If you are still driven to it, and cannot stop, you have a demon that is blocking God’s power. You need to bind it, cast it out, and break Satan’s curses on your body. Forgive. Break any soul ties from ungodly sex.

• There is more to teach on this subject, but these are the high points that you can put to work in prayer now.

Is There an End to My Sin?

Yes, Peter said so. You can be free of your sins to the degree you repent and change your behavior. David got free. God responds with the corresponding repair work to the inner man. As you create new habits of behavior, the temptations will fly by. You will see them coming, and you’ll know they didn’t activate your behavior, and you will be astounded and you will praise God.

Repetition is your Friend

Prayer is where your requests for help are made. Demons must be cast out. We all had or have them because of the current culture and participation in it. If not in your mind, then in your atmosphere and environment lurking, waiting. We live in Satan’s kingdom. He only cares to harass the saved, not the unsaved. Many have generational demons that keep them tied to trauma, sexual sin and unforgiveness. Jesus said he has given you the authority to cast them out and power over all the power of the enemy, Luke 10:19. It’s a battle to overcome: to get free and stay free. Paul warned us to be vigilant, always checking our thoughts and behavior to be sure it is not demon-inspired. If you don’t have a quiet mind and a peaceful heart, demons are harassing you. Clay vessels don’t have noisy minds, within it should be quiet. Think about the ancient clay jars.

Weakness in the Church

None of this is taught by the church at large today in America. Pastors are idolized and teachers preach for money, caring nothing for the sheep, hirelings only, and give followers license to continue in their sins. Jesus told the Jews they would die in their sins unforgiven, John 8:21 because they were not teaching the people to turn from sin and they would not come to him, John 15:22.

Jesus’ warnings when he functioned as a Prophet were dire and chilling, not full of love or softness or even mercy. Better read the Gospels again and see him as the Prophet to acquire the Fear of the Lord, which is to turn from sin and away from evil, it is the beginning of wisdom. Proverbs Chapters 1 - 3 have the definition.

The following verses apply to the church as well as to the Jews:

“Turn you at my reproof (repent): behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you (Holy Spirit Baptism), I will make known my words unto you (by pastors and teachers and revelation). Because I have called and you refused (by your own choice); I have stretched out my hand (anyway to help you), and no man regarded, but you have set at nought all my counsel (you have ignored me and worked against truth), and would none of (not obey) my reproof (didn’t pay attention to stumbling blocks): I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes; When your fear comes as desolation, and your destruction comes as a whirlwind (tornados); when distress and anguish comes upon you (by things you don’t understand). Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD.” Proverbs 1:23-29 KJV

A Gospel of God’s Love is not the Gospel of Christ because it bypasses the requirement to be made new in the likeness of Christ through repentance, following David’s example, Paul’s example, and Peter’s example. They tell you to live with your sin and God will figure it out. But God doesn’t work this way.

Love is the element that is commanded as the goal line, but it is the last thing added to the believer in the order in which God rebuilds the soul, 2 Peter 1:7. Love is a result of ridding every other sin issue from your life. It happens through repentance while you are under the Blood, by Grace. This is the work: to continue in repentance and believing because your beliefs form your actions.

David Took Personal Responsibility to Repent

The vessel of honor is the vessel of God’s power, his presence. The presence of the Father because of the presence of the Son. Jesus said it was his Father who performed the miracles. Therefore, those with the power to heal and do miracles, have the presence of the Father as well as the Son. The goal is to have both, a church on fire with the power of God displaying God’s power to the lost.

If David had the Holy Spirit before the Cross as all the Prophets had it, then you can certainly have it after the Cross since the outpouring has been happening for 2,000 years and is ongoing even today, especially in this time of darkness. Jesus told his disciples even though they were evil, to ask for it, Matthew 7:11, Luke 11:13.

Eradication of sin and immunization against temptation is the goal for your life. Sanctification is the will of God for you, I Thessalonians 4:3. The narrow path that leads to life that few find, Matthew 7, is “The Way.” And it is a path of personal responsibility that teaches you to war against the darkness. “Ites” have been left in you, the land, to teach you to war and not to fear, but to trust and obey.

The One After God’s Own Heart Won’t Stop

The one that desires God enough to obey and stay on the path of holiness, despite the world’s penalties for doing so, is the one after God’s own heart.

“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the Destroyer.” Psalm 17:4 KJV

Personal responsibility

“I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.” Psalm 119:101 KJV

Personal responsibility

“The LORD will perfect that which concerns me…forsake not the works of your own hands” Psalm 138:8 KJV

^{(“For we are his workmanship created in Jesus Christ” Ephesians 2:10 )}

“Search me O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting,” Psalm 139:23-24 KJV (Show me my sin and I will repent of it)

“With my whole heart I have sought thee…Thy word I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Psalm 119:10,11 KJV

“You have tested my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.” Psalm 17:3 NKJV (David is sanctified in full)

There are verses throughout the bible with the words “foot” and “feet” highlighting the personal responsibility of walking along the narrow way. God can help your feet not to slip off the path, but it is your responsibility to walk on the path, not to the left or the right. It is good to look up the verses.

David’s Sin That Despised God

Now I’m going to turn back to David and focus on his sin that despised God. We must locate that place in our hearts where we despise God, any remainder of our Father the Devil, and slay it in repentance, John 8:44

Too many shake their heads at David and say, “Well, at least I’m not as bad as David,” when in reality we all try to hide our sins from God with fig leaves, just like Adam.

We are required by God to inspect our inward parts.

“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom” Psalm 51:6

David understood the requirement to inspect the inward parts of a sacrificial animal. That the animal was to be opened up to inspect for internal bruising, Blemishes. Types of sin. David understood that the inspection was an analogy for the inspection of his own soul, the hidden man living in his body. And David understood that he could not hide the bruising evidence of sin from God, Leviticus 21:21, Leviticus 22:21, Numbers 19:2.

We are to use the Word of God to perform the inspection, the same as the priests use the two-edged knife or sword to inspect the animals they sacrificed. A knife for small animals, a sword for large animals.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul (inside the body) and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner (inspector) of the thoughts and intents of the heart” Hebrews 4:12

David was a sinner like the rest of us, but his sins were covered by sacrifice so we don’t see these sins pointed out by God. It wasn’t until God told David he “despised” God that God would be able to use this sin to bring David to New Testament repentance.

David knew the 5 verses that warned the people not to covet, not to lie carnally, not to commit adultery with, and not to even desire a neighbor’s wife. David would have been taught these verses from a young age.

• Exodus 20:17

• Leviticus 18:20

• Leviticus 20:10

• Deuteronomy 5:21

• Deuteronomy 22:24

Later, Proverbs 6:29 was added to say that even touching a neighbor’s wife would bring guilt. God said in Jeremiah 5:8, that the well-fed priests were horses neighing after their neighbor’s wives. God considers adultery an extreme defilement and told David he had despised God when he committed this sin and then committed the secret murder of Uriah. And though David repented and was forgiven all his sins, God remembered that David had turned aside from God’s command. His sin of adultery and murder was willful despite his faith and God said David despised him.

“Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take they wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.”

2 Samuel 12:10-12

“They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore, shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own devices.” (as God did for David’s punishment)

Proverbs 1:30-31

“David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.” - 1 Kings 15:5

“Save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.” Read the verse again, you will notice David is said by God to not have turned aside from anything that was commanded by God except in this matter. This means that though it is not written on the page as a direct command, God did command David to turn away from getting involved with her, whether by the portion of scripture he knew, or by the moving of the Spirit upon him. In this one thing, David despised the Holy Spirit which he had upon him, and the consequences were severe.

But fear not:

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (wearing fig leaves), but after the Spirit (telling the truth about their sins, not lying to God, but repenting).” Romans 8:1 KJV

“But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24 KJV

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 KJV

“For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Savior” Isaiah 63:8 KJV

Somewhere in all of us, we have sins that despise God. God knows it so we cannot hide from him. God sees everything about us, and if we try to hide behind fig leaves because we don’t want to know it, God still knows it. We need to expose our sins to our minds, take personal responsibility, and repent of them, no matter how vile they are, and be relentless about doing so.

We get one life only, and this is its purpose: to be considered worthy to escape destruction. If you lie to yourself, you are unable to repent in full.

“Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36

Whether you go in the rapture or die before the rapture, only the sanctified stand.

According to Revelation 21:8, David Was Worthy of Hell:

• He was fearful of recognizing his sin, fearful it would be discovered.

• He was unbelieving in consequences because of his pride in knowing God.

• He was unbelieving when he ignored the counsel of the Holy Spirit.

• He was a murderer by deceit (secrecy) and the abuse of his power as king.

• He was a whoremonger by his adultery, making Bathsheba a fornicator and adulterer. He had other wives and concubines already, but it didn’t satisfy his whoredoms, he was willing to kill for more.

• He was covetous of his neighbor’s wife - an idolater of self, Colossians 3:5.

• He was a liar before God and Nathan the Prophet. If Nathan had not used a riddle to convict David, David would have continued to deny and would have been guilty of lying to the Holy Spirit which was upon Nathan, the same as Ananias and Sapphira before Peter which was a death penalty, Acts 5:5,10.

Jesus’ Message About Sexual Sin

The result of the sin with Bathsheba, for the Son of David, Jesus Christ, taught against lust, adultery, and sexual sin. When people read the words of Jesus, they don’t ask the reason for his teaching. It comes from David’s sin with Bathsheba, a parable for the sin of despising God. God remembered this sin and brought it forward to the New Testament as a teaching against lust and sexual sin including masturbation (if your hand or eye sin against you, cut it off). This sin can be conquered. It may be a fight with demons. Even with the Help of the Holy Spirit, David had a battle on his hands.

The Importance of David’s Christian Example

It is important to firmly understand what God requires of us concerning being sanctified. Personal responsibility is required. Just like it was required of David. If you cannot understand yourself and your nature the way God sees you as a sinner, you cannot overcome that which is your enemy.

The Law is the diagnosis tool, the DSM-E, the Diagnostic and Spiritual Manual for Eternity. The Law shows you your sin, defines it for you, and you are to repent of every reaction and rebellion toward the scriptures. This is why it is important to read the Old Testament.

Every verse of Scripture that makes you say, “No, that can’t be applied to me,” or “That just isn’t for our time,” or “I was never that bad,” or any verse that makes you angry, points to a sin that you must repent of even when you are agitated by scripture because of past harms and trauma done to you.

It’s amazing that after you have completed the repentance requirement, those verses no longer negatively affect you. You just read right past them knowing they are right.

What Causes the Lord’s Enemies to Blaspheme His Name?

In the wilderness journey, God said in Ezekiel 20:14, that one reason he allowed the first generation to die in their sins was to keep them from causing the enemies of the LORD, to blaspheme his name. When the Christian is disobedient in unrepentant sin, especially doing something in secret that projects into public life, it causes the unbeliever to say, “See? There is no God, you are a liar,” and your witness before the unbeliever that God exists is demolished. Your behavior matters to God in the sight of the ungodly, as a witness of the glory of God in the earth, and the truth of the Gospel.

Conclusion

I hope you enjoyed this study and have found it useful for your walk. God bless you and may God’s blessings chase you down as you pursue him in relentless repentance, prayer, and worship, laying aside every weight of sin that so easily besets you to run with patience the race that is set before you, in Jesus’ name.

How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (“ “) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the foundational verses for yourself in the Bible. I encourage you to read them yourself. My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself. This is the duty of the Scribe/Teacher (Matthew 13:52).

I thank the Holy Spirit for editing this article because it was not in my mind how to craft it until I prayed and asked him for help. I have spent 12 years searching for anyone else with similar experiences to mine, it’s unlikely I will ever find any; other than one pastor who talks about Jesus appearing to him. People don’t share their testimonies for fear of being insulted and rejected by carnal people. The Old Testament Prophets didn’t describe their experiences very well either, except the words that God gave them. Only Moses, Elijah and Elisha, John, Ezekiel and Daniel provide any visualization. So when you meet someone who will tell you how Jesus appeared to them, be sure to thank them for their testimony.

Pastors need to get out of the habit of saying your experiences don’t matter. In fact, they do matter. There is a crown of righteousness laid up for those who love his appearing, 2 Timothy 4:8. And he does still appear today, to me, and I must believe to all who he has called to the battle for souls. Before you are ready to read my experience, I will give you some teaching, an amalgamation of everything I have learned about the Baptism, from books, from preachers, from the old miracle working saints, and from my own experience, and the Bible. Jesus said he had much more to teach us.

“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now” - John 16:12

The Outpouring of God’s Spirit Upon All Flesh

Began With Peter’s Announcement at the Temple - It Continues Today

Acts 2:14-18 “Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, You men of Judaea, and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken (listen') to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day (9am). But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel (Joel 2:28-32); And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants (men) and on my handmaidens (women) I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy…” all the things which shall come upon the ends of the earth in the last days (summary of the remaining verses).

The “last days” began at the Cross. For 2,000 years God has been pouring out his Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, on all who have obeyed the Gospel (Acts 5:32), and have asked for the Baptism of Fire with Tongues (Luke 3:16, Luke 11:13).

Notice upon whom the Spirit of God will pour out:

Upon men who are called his servants, the men he has saved and called into service. Every one of them is called to service. The Spirit equips men for Spiritual warfare and calls them to spearhead the Gospel, to be willing to lay down their lives for Jesus. They are the warriors of the church. The scripture is the Sword of the Spirit.

Upon his handmaidens, women who he has saved and has called to a personal service unto him. Every one of them is called to service. The word handmaid, or handmaiden, is a female servant of a royal personage.

It is his daughters who are nursed at his side (Isaiah 60:4), and have been the wombs of all living (Genesis 3:20, Luke 1:38) and who know him more intimately through the Spirit because of the emotional and physical hardships they bear in life, and because God put enmity between women and Satan to protect them (Genesis 3:15). Proverbs 31 provides a female personification of the church as his wife. It was Jael, a woman, who drove the stake into the head of the demon possessed Cisera, not her husband (Judges 4:22, Judges 5:24).

Woe to the man who gets in the way of a woman called by God. In my experience, the men miss out on their blessing and it is given to the woman they mistreated. Just my experience, not a doctrine. The same as God hinders the prayers of husbands who mistreat their wives (1 Peter 3:7).

Men who God has appointed as husbands to women preachers usually have a “ministry of helps” in support of their ministry, some administrator function, but they are generally not preachers themselves. A ministry needs a business function as well as a pulpit function. And sometimes God just calls the sole woman into his service. Deuteronomy and 1 Corinthians speak to this, even the divorced woman who makes a vow.

The great women power preachers of history, from Mother Mariah Woodworth-Etter, Aimee Semple MacPherson, Amy Carmichael, to Kathryn Kuhlman all had a heavy anointing of the Holy Spirit, so that people would remark they could feel the presence of God. Miracles and healings occurred. I would be remiss if I failed to mention Phoebe Palmer, the housewife who started a Holiness movement in her parlor. The Holy Spirit revealed the cross to her as the altar where all flesh is consumed through repentance. Men noticed so much change in their wives, they came to investigate. Men began to attend her meetings and God called many men to preach from the repentance teachings of Phoebe Palmer. Then those men stole her credit as men will invariably do. It is faithful women who are the closest to the Holy Spirit. Never despise them.

God uses the least likely and the despised. (1 Corinthians 1:26-29).

The outpouring upon all flesh began on the day of Pentecost, the 50th day after the Cross, the first day of the Feast of Weeks, announced by Peter at the Temple where 3,000 were saved and baptized in the Spirit on that day (Acts 2:41). Pray and read the whole of Acts chapter two and see if your faith will arise so that God can fill you.

The secret of scripture is that you must speak it out loud for the Holy Spirit to move. He moves on the scripture he hears. People wait around for God. You must cash in the promises at the bank of heaven in order to get your blessing. He will work with you the way you understand.

How the Prayer Language in Tongues Functions

A Simultaneous Two-Way Communication

The spiritual prayer language, called speaking in other tongues, was prophesied in Isaiah 28:11. It is a communication conduit between the believer and God that cannot be broken. The spirit of the believer controls it (1 Corinthians 14:32). The believer speaks, the Holy Spirit both inside the belly of the believer and in the spirit realm prays on their behalf for their needs in the format that is acceptable to God; in its form of address and the emphasis of the direction of the prayer, because we do not pray as we should (Romans 8:26) The believer doesn’t know what they are saying, but the Spirit knows and directs the message (1 Corinthians Chapter 14) Sometimes in song, sometimes in sorrow, sometimes in strong tongues of rebuke toward demons.

My experience is that I say the wonderful works of God in tongues (Acts 2:11), but the Spirit of God prays for what I need. He is attached to me by what I consider a golden rivulet that is attached to him, the Great Golden River that flows throughout the universe. Each person has a connection to him if they receive the Baptism. Before the Baptism I didn’t have this connection. He is a person in the form of a Great River, as Ezekiel chapter 47 says. Some wade to the ankles, some to the knees, some to the hips, and some swim to the neck and are fully consumed. In my experience he is the great tangible persona of God, and Jesus said when he speaks, he speaks what Jesus tells him to say (John 15:26). A great flowing Spirit of all knowledge and all history of every person who ever lived and all events that have ever happened and the full mind of God the Father. He knows what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen. When I pray for help, he gives me the answer, even for computer problems on the job and help to find things I’ve misplaced. My helper, the Holy Spirit, as Jesus promised.

The Bible says the believer speaks the wonderful works of God (Acts 2:11) and it is the Spirit of God that makes intercession for us, crying Abba, father (Romans 8:15, 27 and Galatians 4:6). Because God is the father of the born again believer, just as he is Jesus’ father. Jesus was adopted by Joseph, so that we can be adopted by God as his children. The spirit of adoption (Romans 8:15,23).

The believer’s prayer language is not the Gift of Tongues, but a personal language for prayer and worship. The language is an earthly language or an angelic language. Sometimes God will speak through a person’s tongues in a foreign language to an unbeliever, and this helps them see the scripture is true. This is why it says tongues are for a sign to the unbeliever (1 Corinthians 14:22).

The tongues can change or shift when tongues of a different administration are required to deal with an issue in the natural or with demons that hinder. It is not the believer who decides the tongues used when speaking, but the Holy Spirit. The tongues can be a combination of languages woven together that stream up to the God of many waters (Revelation 1:15), the God of many peoples who speaks all the languages ever spoken and can process them all faster than a semi conductor and understand all the prayers all over the world at the same time.

What Happens During Prayer

The believer prays in tongues, and God’s blessing for the day and instruction come back down to the believer, woven into their inner spirit. All of a sudden after prayer, the believer feels energized for the day and has been given solutions to the problems of the day and those things to help their life that they need that day. The Holy Spirit delivers energy, edification, and life and new things come to the mind because of prayer.

If you have been newly baptized in the Spirit, make sure that you speak in your new heavenly prayer language daily because like a little child you must allow God to train your spirit to become stronger and that strength comes from speaking in tongues, it edifies, teaches, and strengthens the believer, in other words, makes the inner man stronger.

Those baptized in the Spirit in the Old Testament were Prophets, like King David and Elijah. They lived holy, and could call down the power of God to defend themselves or their city, and perform sacrifice. They received messages for the people, they prayed, or asked for dreams and visions. They did not speak in tongues. This is a New Testament activity.

In the Old Testament, Israel lived under an open vision when there was a Prophet to Judge them (1 Samuel 3:1), but when there was no prophet, there was no open vision. If Baptized in the Spirit, you will have Jehovah Shammah, the very presence of God, Immanuel, God with us, closer than a brother, as Jesus said.

God speaking to his children with stammering lips and another tongue (Isaiah 28:11) was prophesied, but prophesied in sarcasm recognizing that you would not believe it.

Isaiah 28:11-12 KJV

“For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”

This is why people don’t believe it! It was prophesied they would not believe it. B. B. Warfield, a tool of Satan, came teaching “Cessation” of the gifts. This teaching has led the churches to deny the gifts of the Holy Spirit. But for those who do believe, even though we are evil, but we ask for it, as Jesus said to do (Matthew 7:11, Luke 11:13) it is the refreshing (Acts 3:19), the empowerment, the power to live the Christian life in holiness; the power to rid yourself of continuing sin, sexual immorality, and all the vile things that should not be part of the Christian life; through repentance. It is the power to perform miracles, and healings, and the power to perform mass deliverances from demon power.

Speak in tongues everyday. Amazing things will happen. And you will know he is the Lord.

What Defines the Believer?

Jesus himself defines the believer as the one who casts out demons, heals the sick and speaks in other tongues, Mark 16:17. So why did God prophesy you would not believe it? Because God wants the ones that want him regardless of what it takes to find him. Not the ones who show up to see the show and will fall away.

Mark 16:16-18

“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow THEM THAT BELIEVE; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

Does that preacher you’ve been sitting under have the Baptism? If not, time to find a church that is Holy Ghost Baptised. Flesh does not have the ability to teach you spiritual things. The same as Paul said he could not teach carnal people spiritual things, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14).

The Gift of Tongues for the Congregation

The nine gifts of the Spirit can flow as the Spirit wills through anyone, and some, like myself, have had all nine of them flowing when needed at various times, but the Gift of Tongues is used to speak to a specific church congregation. It is reserved for the speakers God appoints to that congregation. Others may be speakers in smaller settings like prayer groups or classes, but to the large congregation under a pastor, there will be specifically Spirit-appointed individuals. Just as there will be Spirit-appointed interpreters.

Some people get jealous because it’s always the same few people who speak in tongues or only a few who have the interpretation. But it is God who decides. A Pastor must have at least the Gift of Interpretation of Tongues in a Holy Ghost Baptised church to maintain order in the body, to know if the tongues spoken are messages from God or of their flesh.

The Gift of Tongues is given to only a few people in the congregation of a church. I have seen a church with three speakers with completely different ways the voice of God comes through, because one is the Spirit, one is the Father, and one is speaking for Jesus. The Pastor should be able to interpret, if not, he cannot keep his church in order and out of the flesh. From time to time there will be messages in tongues given to others for the congregation, not by the main congregational speakers, for minor messages from God. He speaks broadly to that particular congregation on the basis of what has been prayed by that congregation, or it comes in line with the pastor’s message. I have been in churches where tongues and interpretations simply speak to me only. Perhaps that day I was the only one with faith to receive a meaningful answer. God is not the God of confusion, so if there is a message in tongues and there is no speaker to interpret, likely it was an over eager member speaking in the flesh. The Pastor will continue the service. This is how the church is supposed to function. The Pastor rules the service and decides in prayer with God if tongues are allowed in his church.

There is a place inside the body of man that is called “the belly” and this is where the Holy Spirit connects. If an interpretation comes forth, the person will hear it from their belly. Sounds strange but that’s what happens. It can feel like a lightning bolt running through you, but you know what the tongues are saying.

The Lord will not speak through a Speaker if the pastor doesn’t believe. This is a dead church. You want to be a member of the living church where all 9+ gifts are present and active in various administrations. Jesus Christ died for God’s supernatural power to be present in your life and to function in the church. It never ceased. Man decided not to believe. Today it is the Pentecostals who have the Spirit flowing. Find that kind of church. I say 9+ gifts because with the different administrations there are actually more than nine, dependent on the faith of the one who has the gifts (1 Corinthians 12:5).

The best gift is a Gift of Faith, because it enables all the other gifts. And Paul said to pray for the best gifts.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit at Age 21 - Not the Baptism

Taken Up to a Dry Riverbed in Heaven

In 1985, a few weeks before Easter, my spirit was taken up to a place in heaven near the Temple in a dry riverbed. I was 21 years old and married in the previous year.

This was not anything I expected to happen, and I had no spiritual knowledge, and I had no biblical understanding, beyond being saved, of what was about to happen. It wasn’t until 37 years later that I had enough knowledge of the scriptures and received my calling in order to be able to explain what I saw. This was an event, a physical event for my spirit, in The Spirit. It was not a dream or a vision. Like John the Beloved, I was in the Spirit. When God communicates to a non-spiritual Christian, he gives experiences that you can remember, real experiences.

The backstory:

For some unknown reason even to myself I had been praying for God to show me an Angel. I prayed this before bed for several nights. I didn’t know there is only one creature that will ever answer a prayer like this … Satan. Well, on the last night that I said that prayer, my bedroom began to glow with a green light, and it was coming from somewhere behind me as I was laying on the bed on my left side. I kept my eyes closed and refused to look at the source of the green light and a great fear came over me. It was several minutes before the green light disappeared. I kept checking by opening my eyes to see if it was gone. I was never able to explain the color of the light or give it a name until I was about 52 years old.

Satan is a fallen Cherub. We call him a fallen angel (God says he was “the covering Cherub” of Ezekiel 28:16 KJV), as in the plural Cherubim, the beasts, stationed around God’s throne (Revelation 5:8), who say, “Holy, Holy, Holy (Revelation 4:8). The light that is emitted from Cherubim as “their appearance” is as the color of a beryl stone (Ezekiel 10:9), green. On earth we call Satan a fallen angel, but his power is much greater than that of an archangel, which is why Michael the Archangel, Prince of Israel (Daniel 12:1) would not rebuke him directly (Jude 1:9). On earth there are many colors of beryl stones, but green is the most common.

I was simply afraid and didn’t look at it.

A few nights later, without prayer, I was laying on my stomach and a blue light glowed in my bedroom, and I was lifted out of my body, face down the way I had been laying, but I was very afraid and began to swim back toward my body. It was like being caught in a Star Trek tractor beam coming from above. This blue light was from God, but I didn’t know that, and he didn’t take me up that night due to my fear. I was let back in my body. I was uncooperative while I was awake. A fully conscious trip to heaven was not going to work in my case.

On Saturday, The Week Before Easter Sunday

God tried again on Saturday night, the week before Easter Sunday. This time he was successful in taking me up to heaven because he did it while I was asleep and could not fight it. “The carnal mind is enmity against God (Romans 8:7 KJV).” Yes, Christians without teaching are carnally minded.

The Dry Riverbed

I was awake without remembering waking up, standing in a dry riverbed in what you would understand was a pink and white and gold-tinged foggy light, like morning on the water, a mist without it being a mist. There was no fear this time. I had been transferred from my body to this place. I didn’t understand where I was or the immediate reason for my being there, but it was not a dream, and I was not in my body, and I was looking around and taking it in.

The dry riverbed was comforting because it was a place with things I recognized from my childhood tours of rivers and woods around where I lived in Alaska. Large water-rounded river stones, the color of concrete, bordered the edge of the riverbed, with thickets of tall leafless branches with furry pussy willow buds growing on both sides beyond the rocks. In Alaska, the pussy willows are enormous like everything else, and we used to pretend they were small pocket pets. The old man on our dirt road used to carve me slide whistles from green pussy willow branches. I was alone standing in the middle of the dry riverbed trying to see beyond the pink mist. I knew there was a building beyond the mist where the golden light was. I was there for long enough to examine the place and remember it for the rest of my life, even now.

Jesus Christ in a White Glorious Garment - His Face Like the Sun

Unless you are sanctified, you are not allowed to see the face of the Savior. This is why we only see his face as a bright shining sun when he visits in dreams and visions. I didn’t know this until a later visit to the throne in 2019. When I saw his real face, the Spirit said, “those who are pure in heart shall see God” (Matthew 5:8 KJV). I will write about those things later.

Standing on the dry riverbed, Jesus was behind me and said “look up”, and above that dry riverbed was a golden river that flashed like the gold bars in Fort Knox, but was fluid and made up of what I understand looks like golden digital data packets or shining glitter.  Back then I didn’t know how to describe it that way because we didn’t have digital data packets before cell technology.  I used to work in the telecom industry. Jesus said “put your head in it”, and it flowed down to me around my forehead. I was standing in the River, but it was flowing around my head rather than around my legs. Then Jesus said “ask a question.”

You might be thinking why didn’t I ask how to cure cancer or how to bring about world peace, but when you are out of the body, your normal thoughts don't occur to you. All thoughts pretty much leave when you are in the presence of God. At this time I knew nothing about the Holy Spirit, and I didn’t know anything except that Jesus was there.

I asked him to tell me about Quantum Mechanics because there was a lot of science stuff on TV and I was into that.  Next was I was sucked up into that golden river above me and the river became like a teacher personality. I was rolled over so I was facing downward and on my belly like a kid watching cartoons in front of the TV.

The personality I sensed was on the right side of my head. And he began to display the calculations below me. The calculations were in white as if I was looking at an ethereal blackboard. The calculations appeared and disappeared very quickly, but I was able to follow them and I knew what they meant and represented about Quantum Mechanics. I had a complete and perfect knowledge and a sense that it was all so easy.  The last formula was one you will recognize, the formula for matter, E = MC².

You’re probably shaking your head.

All I know, is that what Einstein got, he got from God. God, the Creator, is the God of man’s science too. Those calculations were not for me to apply in my life so I do not retain them. But they are really easy for God. That year I got an A in Calculus, after being defeated by higher math in high school.

Anyway, after I was shown this, the River receded and I was standing with Jesus near a door that I was not allowed to enter.  And right there I could feel the Love of the Father radiating out from behind that door.  The love of God is not like the love we feel from hormones in our minds, it is greater than that and all consuming. Back then I didn’t know this was the Temple of God in heaven. I looked at Jesus and asked if I could stay and the only word was “No”.  No other explanation. 

Back to My Body Again

Then my soul was picked up in a literal giant hand, larger than my body and was carefully lowered down to slip me back into my body, and I was conscious of all of this as I was wide awake.  As the hand departed, I could see it go, and I tried so hard to keep a hold of that feeling of love, but it receded after a minute or two.  All I know is that God’s love cannot be manufactured by the human mind.  When I was able to speak, all I said was “God is Love” and that is exactly what John the Beloved wrote (1 John 4:8). 

I didn’t know the purpose of this experience.  I had been literally in the River, but I did not speak in other tongues. I believe I was marked for future service while I still believed. Three years later, I denied God and went back into the world. This is what happens when you have no biblical teaching.

That golden river is the Holy Spirit. His true form.

On Easter Sunday

I went to church, having told no one, not even my husband, what had happened. After the sermon I needed to get up out of the pew and go up onto the dais and ask the Pastor if I could speak, just like that. He said, “make it quick.” He was irritated.

I had thought to tell about what happened to me, but what came out was different. I stood there with both my arms stretched out, like on the cross, wearing a white dress no less, and I said that God had given me a dream and that he said we should all love each other, and that was it. I went back to seat, feeling a little strange that I didn’t say more. My husband and in laws said nothing, like it didn’t happen and they never wondered, which to be honest is a little strange.

After that, church was getting out, a woman came bustling up the side aisle by the windows from the back of the church, she asked, “do you know what just happened?” I looked at her oddly, and said, “no.” She said, “my father finally accepted the Lord and got saved.” I really didn’t know what to say, not having spent any time in church really, not knowing any preachers. But, God had something to say to that man, and he used me to say it. Those few words had more impact on that man through the Holy Spirit than 1000 sermons.

When we get to heaven, we will be like Jesus and have all knowledge of all things that the River knows because we will be powered by him.  Truly, all knowledge is contained in the Spirit of God.

Philippians 3:21

“Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself”

This trip to heaven to see the River, must have marked me for service, even though he knew I would shortly fall away. I didn’t speak in tongues, I had not yet read the Bible. But I would keep that visual experience with me all my life. Until it was time.

I tell this because I want you to know that even if you’ve been to heaven and been in the River, you are not Baptized in the Holy Ghost unless you have the evidence of speaking in other tongues, as it is written in scripture. God does everything by his word. What happened to me comes from Ezekiel’s description of the Temple and the Holy Spirit as the Great River.

Jesus came looking for me again, with another dramatic experience, but I’ll save that for later, so let’s skip forward to my Holy Spirit Baptism with the evidence of speaking in other tongues.

My Holy Spirit Baptism

When I was originally baptized with the Holy Spirit during a church service, I only spoke a few repetitive words. Around age 48.

Not everyone gets a commanding prayer language at first. The prayer language is something that needs to be developed by speaking it daily. As your spirit grows in strength, the tongues become more commanding and there are different tongues for different things, 1 Corinthians 12:28.

I tried to figure out what I was saying by looking up the words online.  The first words were “Lelele le” which is “Listen to this” in Zulu, and “Alhamdulilah” which is “thanks be to God” in Arabic.  Probably, “Listen to this! I’m giving thanks unto God, and there’s nothing you can do about it Satan!” It would be like Jesus, to say that to the devil in the language he understands, Arabic, since Allah is not God, but Satan.

The Bible says God laughs at Satan, that’s why he named Isaac “laughter” And when I really want to put the devil on the run, I laugh at him too.

The Refilling

I asked the Lord to refill me in a special way so that I was sure I was baptized because I was not confident it was not my flesh speaking because I never felt a rush of words.  I prayed for a special confirmation, and I kept asking for a long time.  When you have been unemployed for 4 years, in a desert wilderness, waiting on the Lord, time and days have little meaning. So I know I waited for some time, but cannot say if it was months, half a year, or a year.  But I continually prayed for the refilling.

Then it happened.  I was asleep on my left side under a quilt on the right side of my bed.  I had fallen asleep with the light on and a big pillow under my head so my neck was crooked at a steep angle.  It was between midnight and 2 am.  I remember I felt my body moving before I opened my eyes to realize my body was not moving, but my soul within my body was rocking.  My soul was being rocked awake by the Holy Spirit, like I was in a hammock, while my body was motionless on the bed.  Very gently, like you would wake a child who fell asleep.  I was not lifted out of my body, but my soul was being rocked separately from my body.

Judges 5:12

“Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song”

The words out of my physical mouth were, “well Lord, am I going to die now?”  I was waiting for the heart attack.  Thinking, if I could feel my spirit moving, this was it.  The trials I was under were very severe.  But then, in the corner of my room, near the head of the other side of the bed, I had the knowledge that Jesus stood there, even though I could not see him with my physical eyes.  He had come into my room, in all his robes of righteousness and a crown on his head (he appeared to my soul like an invisible golden person with his scepter and crown. I still was not allowed to see his face, so it was wrapped in his golden robe.)  

As soon as I knew he was there, I stopped wondering if I was dying, and I was up on my knees, on the bed, facing that corner of the room, where he was, with my hands in the air, speaking in other musical tongues. It’s like I was in my body but seeing in the Spirit, sort of a half in the body, half out of the body experience. Aware of my body but everything was happening in the Spirit, including what I was seeing, and what was coming out of my mouth. Jesus was in front of me, the Holy Spirit was flowing through me, and music from another world was coming out of my mouth, and so loud I know it wasn’t me.

I was singing with the Spirit, a harmony of at least three voices.  There was a vision of a music stand with a vertical staff of music in motion running down the left side of the vision; with notes that were white, pink, and gold; three dimensional, sparkling, and alive, not flat like you see music on a page.  I was singing the notes in tongues. The colors were the colors of that mist at the dry river bed in heaven.

I was participating in a living colorful waking vision.  It is hard to describe the duality of it because it involved both my soul and my body.  I could see the vision with my spirit, but felt it and heard the sounds with my physical body.  The sound was so beautiful I could not believe what was coming out of my physical mouth.  I had no understanding of what I was saying, but I knew it was a song because of the staff of musical notes.  I played violin for 6 years and flute for 3 years so I can read sheet music.

This event lasted perhaps one minute, I couldn’t really tell, but it seemed very quick. I would have to say that Jesus confirmed to me that he is the baptizer and now, I was indeed baptized in the Holy Spirit.  I laid down again and went back to sleep.  It was over, just like that.  But I felt no regret that it had ended, just a deep peace, and absolutely no fear.

I saw a video of Kathryn Kuhlman telling how a woman she knew sang with the Spirit when she was Baptized in the Holy Spirit. I assume her experience was the same as mine. Someone online told me they too received a golden vision when they received the Spirit Baptism, but didn’t share the details.

I wrote about my Holy Spirit Baptism in a bible college paper, and I was laughed at and scoffed at by the very people who claimed they were spirit baptized, but their tongues were so dry, there was no life. They did not live in the Spirit. Later the Lord told me to leave that church because of their opposition to what he was doing with me. Better for them that I left, so they would not be blamed for their opposition.

God will deal with you according to your faith. If you were once baptized with tongues, and you never used the prayer language, repent and ask him for a refilling.

I hope this helps you to understand that God is real. All of Paul’s churches were Holy Spirit Baptized tongue talking churches. This was the early church. How God must mourn those who believe the Cessation of his power. Cessation is a lie of Satan.

How I use Scripture: unless quoted directly with quotation marks (““) the chapter and verse references are where you can find the verses in the Bible. I encourage you to read them, how else will you know if I’m quoting correctly? My job is to bring alive the treasures of scripture, from the new and the old, to help you study and seek God for yourself.

This is the duty of the Scribe (writer) / Teacher (explainer) Matthew 13:52

I have added parentheses to the KJV verses to emphasize the points being made, and unless otherwise noted, all scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV) which exists in the Public Domain.

The Holy Spirit raised up a banner of words “childlike faith” across my thoughts while asking him what topic would please him. As I began to write, thinking I would use my favorite examples of active faith, he steered me into a new revelation cutting back the tall grass of my ideas with the two-edged sickle I know so well. He bundled up the verses in my word search tool, and I saw the bales of hay he wanted me to exegete, to interpret, to feed His sheep.

Childlike faith is the unleavened bread element of the levitical sacrifices.

So here we go: New feed to graze upon, Isaiah 43:19.

Knowledge is Leaven - It Puffs Up - 1 Corinthians 8:1

God designed man to have dominion over the earth, to populate it, to “subdue it,” Genesis 1:28. Man chose Sin, and humans began chasing knowledge for its own sake, utilizing it according to their pride, selfishness, and greed. They forgot it was God who commanded them to obtain knowledge, and then they forgot God altogether. God didn’t retract his plan however.

When you read about the fall of man, read the end of it first and you will see that God never intended to hide the Tree of Life or to keep man from becoming like God as to knowledge and wisdom, but man followed Satan’s way of reasoning and thievery. We are law breakers and rebels from the beginning. Such is free will; always looking for the easy way out, instead of being willing to walk the narrow path that leads to life, Matthew 7:14.

God knew we would fail, and he repented that he made man in the earth, Genesis 6:6. This is why Jesus went to the Cross, God repented and took responsibility for our fall. Knowing we would need a shepherd and continued repentance to renew the mind to become holy again, with all sin worked out of us, made immune to temptation. This is the future of eternal life.

Each person has gifts of knowledge obtained from the path God sets them on, as part of the call he gives each one, even if they reject him, even if they use those gifts for evil. “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance,” Romans 11:29.

Their gifts bring forth amazing inventions that lift life’s physical burdens and aid in discovery and medical breakthrough, or terrible destruction. God established education when he required his Word to be written down and studied, 2nd Timothy 2:15, 2nd Corinthians 10:18, 13:7, 1st Thessalonians 4:11. Proverbs is full of commands to seek knowledge. All flesh is his, whether saved or unsaved, Jeremiah 32:27. And all truth is God’s truth, John 16:13.

All were made in the image of God, saved or not. God makes the sun to rise upon all, the evil and the good, Matthew 5:45. And flashes of inspiration are given to all in hopes they will turn and repent. We are instructed to honor all men where honor is due, Romans 13:7. It is the goodness of God that leads man to repentance, Romans 2:4.

Romans 8:28-30

“²⁸And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. ²⁹ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰ Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called … “

If they only believed, their predestinated gifts would become eternal, but in any case, God uses their works to bless all of mankind, for they are his works through them, even though they steal his credit. His Word once spoken does not return void, Isaiah 55:11.

How I use Scripture References: For purposes of these articles, unless I quote the scripture in quotation marks (“ “), the verses point the reader where the biblical foundation is located. In your own study, I encourage you to look up them up and add them to your arsenal.

God’s Command to Subdue the Earth

The phrase “subdue it” in Genesis 1:28 implicitly contains the command to study everything in the earth that can be learned since without the knowledge of it, it cannot be subdued.

God requires man to strive for knowledge, to ask, to seek, and to knock, Matthew 7:7 and Luke 11:9. These are references to asking God for the knowledge you find necessary, then he orders your path so you can find it. Striving to understand something is a teacher whether you name it the “school of hard knocks,” “trial and error,” “experience,” “scientific observation,” “formal training” or “revelation.” So even before there is an assigned teacher, there is a teacher. Man has no excuse, Romans 1:20-21.

The pioneers came to America armed with their bibles and they built our nation out of nothing, and God fought for them. They knew it would be hard, but they did it anyway, to be free. We in our comforts whine and complain because today we are willing prisoners, no longer free.

Childlike Faith Is Not Prideful or Selfish - It Is Unleavened, Selfless

First I need to deal with what knowledge is because it must be defined before faith can be discussed. Leaven is yeast that permeates the loaf and puffs it up, causing it to rise. Knowledge itself is good, but when mixed with self interest it becomes the leaven Jesus warned about. The leaven that makes man wise in their own eyes, Genesis 3:6, without God. Puffed up in the pride of life, that same sin from the Garden that Eve reasoned herself into. Yes, Eve convinced herself the serpent was right, Adam didn’t do his job as Law Keeper to correct her, and they never asked God if the serpent was correct, even though God met with them daily in the evenings. They didn’t hit pause before they hit play.

Now Contrast “The Perfect” Against “The Fallen”:

In a perfect world without sin, man (male and female) would have used all their knowledge to benefit everyone freely in godliness.

Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.” Matthew 13:33, Luke 13:20-21. This leaven is the knowledge of God.

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea,” Habbukuk 2:14

In the fallen world, man (male and female) uses their knowledge on the basis of greed where gaining knowledge comes at a price and where sharing knowledge is based on a hierarchy of profit and favoritism. This is the self-interested mixture Paul was referring to when he said, “knowledge puffs up,” 1 Corinthians 8:1.

Jesus, as Prophet, “charged (warned) them, saying, Take heed (pay attention), beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,” Mark 8:15. Religious and worldly knowledge that replaces God.

^“Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees,” Matthew 16:12 Doctrines (teachings) that put focus on rules of men, works and methods as a replacements for chapter and verse. Small groups abound today.

“Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy,” Luke 12:1 Hypocrisy is teaching one thing and believing another thing and in their case, they did it for profit at the expense of others. The outward does not match the inward.

“⁷ You hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, ⁸ This people draws near unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. ⁹ But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men,” Matthew 15:7-9, Isaiah 29:13.

“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in (to the kingdom of God) yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered,” Luke 11:52

Political winners were the Pharisees, Separatists in the Greek, they successfully spoiled the harvest by replacing the Torah and simple faith with the Talmud and all the impossible rules of men. This is why God had to send John the Baptist, the greatest Prophet, to prepare the people by repentance.

Jesus came at the precise moment when Satan hid the word of God.

Shurer’s five volume set, “A History of the Jewish People in the Time of Jesus Christ,” records the historical truth of the political battle of the Pharisees versus the High Priest’s stand for the Torah. The Jews are blind even today because the Israeli rabbis teach the doctrines of men and excoriate anyone who seeks to know Jesus Christ, up to and including death threats. They control the people-Nicolaitans!

Dr. Eitan Bar, founder of “Israel College of the Bible,” and “One for Israel,” recounts the rabbinical threats against him in his book, “Refuting the Rabbinic Objections to Christianity & Messianic Prophecies,” along with examining the vile rabbinic mindset that teaches acceptance of Christ means boiling in excrement for eternity. His goal is to evangelize Israel and turn them back to the Lord. You can see testimonial videos at the “One for Israel” channel on YouTube.

Some Historical Background:

In Jesus’ day, the Pharisees and priests were the educated class, they taught scripture, they spoke Greek, not Hebrew, but didn't believe because they wanted the praise of men and the tithe, rather than the praise of God in faith. They cheated the people at the Temple in monetary conversions. They purchased estates and farms for themselves. God said they would have no inheritance in the land because God himself is their inheritance and their husband, Deuteronomy 18:1-2, Jeremiah 3:14-15. Instead of accepting God’s provision for them written in the Law, they wanted more in their greed.

The Jews living outside Jerusalem in the nations and Roman cities where they did business, had to return to Jerusalem three times every year for the Feasts of God, carrying money as commanded in Deuteronomy 14:24-26, to pay their tithe and to purchase animals to sacrifice for their sins. The Temple money changers would exchange the worldly currencies into Jewish shekels, but they held back a corrupt portion for themselves and they cheated the illiterate poor. God had commanded them to use honest scales and measures in Proverbs 16:11, but the High Priest in Jesus’ day was very corrupt. He was appointed by Rome, not God. In those times, Lepers were everywhere, as proof there was no High Priest of God at the Temple who could could perform the cleansing in Leviticus chapters 13 and 14.

I encourage you to learn more about the administration of the Temple in those days. They had become who Malachi prophesied them to be in that day, robbers of God, Malachi 3:8. They had become who Jacob prophesied them to be in the last days also, instruments of cruelty, Genesis 49:5. The 400 quiet years between Malachi and Matthew ensured Levi and Simeon would once again revert to their original self-selected mandate, the Slayers of the Sacrifice, the same as they willfully slew the men of Shechem.

There is always more that can be written, but you see now, the comparison of pure knowledge of the Kingdom against the fallen, corrupt leaven of men. The corrupt leaven grows in strength until religion becomes a murderous mindset. So it is not incorrect to say that corrupt religion is responsible for the wars in the earth.

Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with Jesus Christ. God never set out to control man, but to help man become what God intended him to be.

How God Removed My Blindness:

Before I believed, I had a problem with Jesus not giving the Pharisees any answers to help them believe. You might wonder why God doesn’t help the atheists. The Holy Spirit showed me these verses and they removed Satan’s blindness. Leviticus 26:18, 21, 27-28: “And if you will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me, then I will walk contrary unto you also, in fury, and I even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.” These verses not only describe how Jesus handled the Pharisees, they prophecy the seven-year Tribulation, written by Moses, before Jeremiah called it the time of Jacob’s trouble, Jeremiah 30:7.

How many believers suffer from Satanic spiritual blindness because they refuse to read the Old Testament? I conclude, many. It has been said, faith eats only one thing, chapter and verse!

Jesus read their hearts and minds, as a Prophet of God, so he knew what they thought, just like Peter knew what Ananias and Sapphira thought in their hearts, Acts chapter 5. Jesus knew they refused to believe, and he knew the prophecies about them, without ever debating them. He does the same thing today. If you come to him in humility, he will help your unbelief, but if you come with the leaven of hypocrisy and pride, he will resist you. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble, James 4:6.

How Jesus Chose His Disciples

If you look closely at the four Gospels, you will see Jesus choosing the disciples that were looking for the Messiah, it’s right there on the pages. You’ll see Jesus asking them questions, testing their answers, to see if it was the Father speaking through them. This is how Jesus knew who were chosen. And he didn’t cast Peter away, because the Father had chosen him to explain the keys that open the Strait Gate, to the narrow way that leads to life, that very few find.

To Peter were given the keys of the kingdom, Matthew 16:19. His tiny epistles. Peter was a double-minded weak person, who God transformed into the one to teach sanctification. The church begged him for 1st Peter. Read the end of it to see why he wrote it. 1st Peter teaches how to behave when the world is casting you out because you have found the power of the Cross and you have been Holy Spirit Baptized. No other book of the Bible teaches how to put off the flesh like 1st Peter. Second Peter tells the order that God adds the character of Jesus to you, 2 Peter 1:3-15. Brotherly love comes last, because you must be built up in godliness first.

Christians today are missing the repentance boat, thinking their purpose is only to what is good in their own eyes. I was unable to get out of 1 Peter for five years, and even now God takes me back to that woodshed when he needs to remind me not to revile when I have been reviled. The Key is REPENTANCE.

Matthew 18:3

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

We become as little children by being born again and through repentance of continuing sin.

You cannot do what Peter says if you don’t repent of the sins keeping you from doing what he says to do. Therefore in your prayers of repentance, use the word “repent” because it gets God’s attention. Saying you’re sorry is fleshly. Repenting is godly.

We have examined knowledge and obedience, and a bit about the need for repentance, now we can start talking about Childlike Faith.

New Testament Feast of Unleavened Bread is Held in Sincerity and Truth

Paul said, “Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven (of the Law they could not do), neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness (of the world); but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” 1st Corinthians 5:6-8. The Feast of Passover and Unleavened Bread were intertwined, this is why he mentions both together. He states the words of Jesus from the Gospel in verse 6.

“For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God,” 2nd Corinthians 1:12. Paul reiterates that fleshly wisdom through knowledge cannot be mixed with faith or it becomes leavened by the flesh.

The Corinthians were glorying in their knowledge and worldly wisdom and mixing their fleshly sensual wisdom with their unleavened born again faith, which would cause their faith to fail. Paul reminds them their obligation is to keep the Old Testament Feast not with the old leaven of doing the Law, and not with worldly malice and wickedness, but with the purity of sincerity and truth.

Jesus said, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24.

To worship in spirit is to put off the flesh, the old man, the body of this death, the deeds of the body, immorality, the sins, the rebellion against the Word. The Corinthians were immoral and unruly. But so are we.

The Feasts of God in the Old Testament are a complex study and beyond this writing. But there is a great book that teaches all the verses and concepts by Kevin J. Conner, entitled, “The Feasts of Israel” and it provides a worthy study that is easy for any level of student to follow.

The Jews were to search their homes and cleanse all leaven from the premises, every bit. It was to be an exhaustive search. A type of repentance being an exhaustive search of the self. Today, we are to examine ourselves continually to be sure we are in the faith. These are the same things, said two different ways. Making sure and repenting of anything that has damaged our faith or has caused us to adopt behaviors of works, legalism, or worldly wisdom. Psalm 17:3, 15; Psalm 26:2; Psalms 51, 119, 138, 139; Job 23:10; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Revelation 3:18.

Placing the Unleavened Bread on the Sacrifice is Placing Childlike Faith in the Sacrifice

Onto the Passover Lamb was placed unleavened bread, then the whole thing was burned. They say the unleavened bread is a type of Christ’s sinless life because leaven is a type of sin. Defined this way, it is correct teaching. But the Holy Spirit showed me the unleavened bread is Childlike faith in the Sacrifice. Read on.

Sincere faith results in action, taking God at his word. If God said it, I believe it.

The unleavened bread placed on the animal, was a product of the effort to cleanse the house as commanded, it represented their childlike faith in obedient action.

God considers animals to be sinless already, created not by the will of man. The animal sacrifice was already a type of a sinless sacrifice in itself, it didn’t need to have unleavened bread applied to it to be a type of sinlessness.

The intent of the man performing the sacrifice requires a statement of faith or an oath on his part indicating his sacrifice was made by faith in the blood of the slain animal.

Baking the bread is done by the will of man, as is repentance.

The unleavened bread is the statement of pure faith, childlike faith, representing the actions taken to obey God. The person is saying, I come to you believing my offer of repentance is true, evidenced by searching my household to root out all the leaven.

A head knowledge of Jesus as Savior is not the same as full faith in the shed blood of Jesus the Savior. God must have possession of the heart, unmixed. A tall order for a worldly person who is newly converted.

Simple faith is childlike faith. Repentance is the work of faith. Ceasing from actions of sin through repentance daily is the work of faith. Jesus said the work of God is to believe, John 6:28-29. If you believe, you will do what Jesus said to do, repent.

Jesus told us the same thing he told Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Keep my commandments and statutes. Further he said, if you love me, show it by keeping my commandments, John 14:15. Ridding yourself of sinful actions, unforgiveness, and immorality is the proof you love him. How is he to inhabit a vessel of filth while you make excuses for your lack of repentance?

Not many are going into the kingdom in our day of greatest bible knowledge ever, overcome by demons and unrepentant sin.

What Will You Do With This Article?

1. Ignore it, and continue on in your life?

2. Use it to diagnose where your faith is at?

3. Will you renew your commitment to Jesus and set about to study and repent daily so that you truly are able to adopt the crucified life of ridding yourself of sin?

Jesus said, three times, deny your ways, pick up your cross (repent of continuing sin daily) and follow me (adopt my lifestyle to imitate me in holiness).

Denying yourself, picking up your cross daily in repentance, is the New Testament fulfillment of the Old Testament Daily Sacrifice. You are now the Temple.

If you are in the process of being sanctified, returned to holiness, in Christ, there is now no condemnation for continuing sin as long as you are keeping it in repentance, under the blood, Romans 8:1.

Matthew 16:24-27

“²⁴ Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself (deny his own flesh and willfulness and ideas), and take up his cross (repent), and follow (imitate) me. ²⁵ For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. ²⁶ For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? ²⁷ For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”

Mark 8:34-38

“³⁴ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself (deny his own flesh and willfulness and ideas), and take up his cross (repent), and follow (imitate) me. ³⁵ For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. ³⁶ For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? ³⁷ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸ Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

Luke 9:23-26

“²³And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself (deny his own flesh and willfulness and ideas), and take up his cross daily (repent daily), and follow (imitate) me. ²⁴For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. ²⁵ For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? ²⁶ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.”
