Part 4 [The Two Comings of Christ]
Read this closely... every Word of it is being fulfilled right now. I have highlighted some of the really important lines in this prophecy. Keep in mind the last writing I did here [as you read this chapter]. bb
Matthew 24
1JESUS DEPARTED from the temple area and was going on His way when His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to the buildings of the temple and point them out to Him.
2But He answered them, Do you see all these? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.
Me: The church [during the age of Pentecost] built their whole doctrine on the premise that every stone [person] was to be built upon Jesus [worshiping Him as ABOVE themselves, and believing that He suffered FOR THEM, so that they wouldn't have to]. In doing this, they did not realize what Jesus' true purpose was: TO SHOW THEM, BY HIS EXAMPLE, HOW THAT THEY [THEMSELVES] WERE TO BECOME CHRIST, ALSO; BY TAKING UP THEIR CROSS, AND FOLLOWING HIM DOWN THE VERY SAME PATH THAT HE WALKED - A PATH THAT ENDED WITH THE CRUCIFIXION OF HIS OWN SELFISH FLESH! JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD, IN ORDER TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW THAT THEY, TOO, WOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THE VERY SAME HARDSHIP, AND TRIBULATION THAT HE DID, AND THAT BY SUFFERING THAT SAME PURIFYING BAPTISM OF FIRE [GOD'S DISCIPLINE]; ALL MEN COULD PARTAKE OF THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD; AND LIKEWISE, ATTAIN TO THE RESURRECTION LIFE THAT ONLY COMES THROUGH THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CARNAL MIND!
The Church age of Pentecost built their hopes, and doctrines on a foundation of sand!
Because of this error [Israel seeing Jesus as the fullness of Christ], any stone [person] in God's kingdom, who believes, or teaches the world that Jesus ALONE is Christ, and that He was to be the GREATER appearing of Christ, [instead of the lesser appearing of Christ - as He Himself taught], will be abased by God for that view, and thrown down from that position of false humility, and will worship idolatry! THAT TEACHING IS LIKE GANGRENE, AND IT HAS ALMOST DESTROYED OUR WORLD!
Folks,
Jesus was the cornerstone of the pyramid - NOT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE! THE FULLNESS OF THE PYRAMID WAS MADE UP OF MANY STONES, ALL OF WHICH WERE SUPPORTED BY THE CORNERSTONE; THE CORNERSTONE EXAMPLE THAT JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SHOW THEM [in order to fully understand Who THEY were in Christ]! The truth is exactly the opposite of what the age of Pentecost taught: The man, Jesus, was the lesser light of Christ's appearing [NOT THE GREATER APPEARING], and His sole purpose was to be a type, shadow, and prototype image of US - THE MANY MEMBERED CHRIST ELECT - THE REMNANT OF THE JOSEPH COMPANY, WHO WOULD FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS! Jesus was to be a sign, Who would point the way to the reality of the Christ we would become [on a HUGE scale]! And folks... Jesus, Himself, bore witness to this, by telling us that WE WOULD DO GREATER THINGS THAN HIM!
Look again at verse 1; Jesus was LEAVING THE TEMPLE AREA! Look!
Matthew 24
1JESUS DEPARTED from the temple area and was going on His way...
Guess what the temple area represents? HIS MORTAL BODY!
So, in order for the Christ Seed [1st appearing] to become a Tree with many branches [2nd appearing], IT HAS TO LEAVE IT'S EXISTENCE AS A SINGLE SEED, AND GO TO THE MOUNTAIN OF OLIVES! Interpretation: In order for the man, Christ Jesus, to make His greater appearing as a many membered body [a O-LIVE tree of life], he had to leave the temple of His single, mortal body [a single Seed], and go UP to the MOUNT OF OLIVES [THE JOSEPH COMPANY]! This whole chapter is addressing the issue of Christ's TWO comings, and how the whole world has been deceived concerning Christ's second appearing!
So, anyhow, Jesus leaves the TEMPLE AREA [His own flesh body - appearing 1], AND GOES TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES [a type of the many membered Christ - appearing 2]. Now look at the next verse...
3While He was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the SIGN of Your coming [this is Jesus' appearing as Christ] and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age [this is the second corporate appearing of Christ through the Joseph company]?
Me: Jesus answers this question in verse 30 [but more on that when we get there]. The key Word here is "SIGN". Remember this folks: A sign is an object that gives a "picture", or "directions" on how to attain, or arrive at the reality of what it is pointing to as an "image". A sign is NOT the reality of what it is pointing to... it is only a shadow, or picture that gives direction on how to attain, or arrive at that reality! Well guys... that is what Jesus was! Jesus [the historic man] was NOT the fullness of Christ [although, He was, indeed, filled with the Spirit of Christ], but rather, He was a prototype, and picture [sign] of what we, as a many membered body, would eventually attain! JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT THE FULL REALITY OF CHRIST; HE WAS A MINIATURE MODEL; AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE CORPORATE CHRIST WE WOULD BECOME ON A MUCH LARGER SCALE! That body, Who would appear as Christ 2,000 years later, would have another name: IMMANUEL [means: GOD WITH US] - THE BODY OF THE GODHEAD, WHO TOGETHER, [CORPORATELY], WOULD BECOME THE FATHER, AND CONSUMMATE THE AGES!
Guess what? The world mistook the ad for the actual PRODUCT!
Folks, for the last 2,000 years [of Pentecost], the cornerstone [Christ in Jesus - His first appearing] held up all of the other stones of the temple, but now that situation is being reversed, and that cornerstone is going to rest on top of the temple - AS THE CAPSTONE [JESUS SITTING ATOP GOD'S HEAVENLY STRUCTURE: A TEMPLE MADE UP OF MANY STONES NOT MADE WITH HUMAN HANDS]! The stone that the builders rejected [Jesus] has become the capstone of a HUGE, many membered body [Joseph], who are the reality of what Jesus was only a type, and shadow of!
You see... He that descended into the lower parts of the earth [Jesus; high priest of Pentecost, who died, and was planted in the ground as a Seed/sign], is, in reality, the very same one that ascended above the high mountains of Israel [Joseph; the corporate high priest of Tabernacles, Who is now being raised up as the resurrection life of Christ Jesus true form - IMMANUEL [means: God with all of us!]
Jesus is the first [Christ], and Joseph company is the last [Christ];
Jesus is the beginning, and Joseph is the end;
Jesus is the Seed [which grew up as a tender vine], and Joseph is the tree with many branches!
Now for the verification, and witness of these declarations:
Look at the two blessings that God gave to Judah and Joseph [Jacob's sons] in the book of Genesis, chapter 49. Jacob tells his sons to gather around him, and that he would bless them, and tell each one of them what would happen to their descendants in the last days:
To the house of Judah [Jesus' ancestral tribe]; Jacob said,
8Judah, you are the one whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons shall bow down to you.
9Judah, a lion's cub! With the prey, my son, you have gone high up [the mountain]. He stooped down, he crouched like a lion, and like a lioness--who dares provoke and rouse him?
10The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh [the Messiah, the Peaceful One] comes to Whom it belongs [JOSEPH], and to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
11Binding His foal to the vine and His donkey's colt to the choice vine, He washes His garments in wine and His clothes in the blood of grapes.
Me: WOW! LOOK AT HOW JUDAH'S BLESSING BEGINS! LOOK AT THE UNDERLINED PARTS OF THIS PROPHETIC BLESSING! Right off the bat; Jacob prophesies that the whole lot of his sons will BOW DOWN, AND WORSHIP [PRAISE] JUDAH! If that doesn't describe what the people of Israel have done to Jesus, then I don't know what could! After all... Jesus is the LION CUB OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH! Jesus has been WORSHIPED by the nation of Israel, and the stench of that idolatry has reached the highest heavens, and filled God's nostrils! But that is about to change! Up until this pivotal point in history; God has caused Israel [as well as the rest of the world] to believe that Jesus [Judah] was the FULLNESS OF CHRIST, and that the tribe of Judah would receive the birthright of Israel! That is why it is written Romans 1:25,
25Who [the people] changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature [Jesus' flesh] more than the Creator [God in the Joseph company], who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Me: Guess what? WE ARE ELOHIM, FOLKS! THE AGE OF PENTECOST WAS WRONG! They have believed a lie... a deceptive lie that the house of Judah has told them [to this very day]! GO INTO ANY CHURCH AND ASK THEM... THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT THE HOUSE OF JUDAH IS THE HOLDER OF THE BIRTHRIGHT! The LIE-ON OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH has become a stumbling Stone, and a rock of offense, that has caused men to trip!
Why do I call Jesus the LIE-ON OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH?
Because the church [during the entire age of Pentecost - from A.D. 33 to A.D. 1993] taught the people that Jesus, ALONE, was the fullness of God's Christ, and in doing so, THEY CAUSED THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE NOT TO RECOGNIZE THE [CORPORATE] APPEARING OF CHRIST AT HIS SECOND COMING!
GOD CAUSED THEM TO DECEIVED THE WHOLE WORLD!
Jesus [the historical man, the golden calf-graven image] was used by the wicked teachers, swindlers, and false prophets [during the age of Pentecost], as the religious centerpiece for their trickery, and greed, and He served as the prime source of their frivolous income. For 2,000 years; these sorcerers preached guilt, condemnation, and self-reliance in Jesus' name to the people, in order to syphon money from them, by using witchcraft, fear, and falsehood - all for the sake of their gainsaying purposes, and financial schemes! That is why JUDAs held the MONEYBAG, because he is a picture of the church's idolatry of Jesus [Judah] during the age of Pentecost! Not only that, but the worship of Jesus was also the root cause of Israel's IDOLATRY during that dark age, and it is the lies and false doctrines that the false teachers [of Pentecost] taught the people [IN JESUS' NAME], which ultimately caused the whole world to err, and be deceived!
And what exactly was the lie they preached?
Namely [in a nutshell], that the man, Jesus, ALONE was the Christ, and that Judah is the birthright tribe that will always hold God's scepter]! Jesus warned us this would happen [in this very chapter of Matthew we are presently studying]!
O.K., now that we have seen what Judah's blessing is, let's take a look at what God spoke to the house of Joseph [the tribe which represents the Melchizedek priesthood - those chosen from every tribe of Israel]. This is where the birthright is now, folks - we [the Joseph company] have taken the baton from Jesus!
Hey... Do you guys think they will like me in Palestine? He he he! This day I declare, that Joseph is the Messiah from Shiloh [which Jacob spoke of], and the scepter is now being given unto Him to Whom it belongs! Look at what Jacob said to Joseph,
22Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well (spring or fountain), whose branches run over the wall.
23Skilled archers have bitterly attacked and sorely worried him; they have shot at him and persecuted him
24But his bow remained strong and steady and rested in the Strength that does not fail him, for the arms of his hands were made strong and active by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25By the God of your father, Who will help you, and by the Almighty, Who will bless you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings lying in the deep beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26The blessings of your father [on you] are greater than the blessings of my forefathers [Abraham and Isaac on me] and are as lasting as the bounties of the eternal hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was the consecrated one and the one separated from his brethren and [the one who] is prince among them.
Me: So Judah was a vine, BUT JOSEPH IS A BOUGH WITH MANY BRANCHES! Jesus was praised, and worshiped by His brothers, BUT JOSEPH IS CONSTANTLY BEING SHOT AT BY ARCHERS! I know that my back is full of wounds from the Judah bunch!
Anyhow... I thought it was important for us to see that God had preplanned all of these events, and blessings; long before any of us were born into this world. Knowing who is possessor of the birthright, and scepter is of utmost importance, if we are to understand the things I am going to be teaching on later! Carry on! Continuing in Matthew 24...
4Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].
Me: Heh heh heh! Well... that one is self-explanatory! Jesus was warning us about HIMSELF... because it was He that caused the age of Pentecost to trip, and be deceived!
5For MANY will come in (on the strength of) My name [appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I [Jesus] am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.
Me: Guess Who led the whole world into error, by being a STUMBLING STONE that caused men to trip up, and not recognize the TRUE, AND GREATER APPEARING OF CHRIST? Jesus... that's Who! Heh heh heh!
While we are at this verse; I want to talk a little bit about the "many", and the "few". As you all know, Jesus said,
"MANY are called, but FEW are chosen."
All through the scripture, God speaks rather frequently about these two quantities, and the Holy Ghost showed me something neat in the lettering of these two words. They not only represent quantities, they also represent both carnal, and spiritual "conditions".
How?
Any time you see the word "many" in scripture, it is speaking of the world during the age of Pentecost, and MAN's refusal to hear sound doctrine. That is why the word "MANY" has the word "MAN" in it's spelling! Folks, any time you have "MANy" men in agreement on something spiritual, you can bet your rear end that falsehood, deceit, and murder are not to far away! Look at who caused all of the wars in the last 2,000 years - the religions of man!
Remember the MOB that spit on Jesus? MANY!
Remember the Pharisee bunch? MANY!
Remember the sons of Korah, and the crowd they brought before Moses? MANY!
Therefore; it is written in the law of Moses,
Exodus 23:2
You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you bear witness at a trial so as to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
Me: So the word "many" is ALMOST always synonymous with the persons God is using in the antichrist mode [for earthy, antichristian, fertilizing purposes]. That is why God always makes the vast majority of His creation BLINDED to spiritual things [truths], because He needs vessels of dishonour, in order to use them as instruments of purification for His vessels of honour [the little flock - the "few"]!
Speaking of which; that brings us to the "FEW". In sharp contrast to the "MANY" representing God's CALLED vessels of antichrist, the "FEW" represent those vessels who are CHOSEN for the purpose of being vessels of Christ! That is why the word "FEW" includes the letters "EW" in it's spelling. A ewe lamb is always representative of Christ, so this key helps us to understand that when there are only a "FEW" persons involved in something; it has a tendency to signify agape principles.
So... just as God uses "MANY" to do the dastardly things He needs done, the Father will almost always use only a "FEW" to accomplish the positive things He desires accomplished! With all of this being said, the most important thing to know is this: Both of these offices are under God's power, and control [the good [seed and earth], and well as the evil [fertilizer], and no man chooses which office he will hold at any given moment. I tend to think that at some time or another during our lives, that we all hold both of them! LOL! Although; I will say that it is obvious that different people tend to lend themselves to certain functions that are more suited to their demeanor!
Nevertheless... whether one is "CALLED" [one of the many], or whether one is "CHOSEN" [one of the few]; all all of these human conditions are needed, and all conditions [whether good, or using evil for good purposes] are of God [originate from Him]!
Anyway... for the sake of understanding the scriptures more clearly; keep these word meanings in mind, and it will help you to unlock the scripture mysteries
6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.
7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place;
8All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish].
9Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.
Me: I think I can say with complete certainty, and with God [and you] as my witnesses, that God has fulfilled that last scripture, by the reception I received from the world, because of my writings. I have been totally hated, and cursed by Israel [during the age of Pentecost].
11And MANY false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead MANY into error.
12And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,
13But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.
15So when you see the appalling sacrilege [the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place--let the reader take notice and ponder and consider and heed [this]--
Me: Wanna know who the abomination that caused Israel and Judah's desolation is? JESUS - that's Who! Look at what Jesus said in the last chapter; chapter 23 of Matthew 36-38:
36Truly I declare to you, all these [evil, calamitous times] will come upon this generation.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a mother fowl gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused!
38Behold, YOUR HOUSE is forsaken and DESOLATE (abandoned and left destitute of God's help).
Me: Jesus tells us plainly there, that the house of Israel would be left DESOLATE! Right?
Guess who it is that breaks into a man's house, and steals his goods [DESOLATING that man's home]? A THIEF DOES! Well... who is the thief that has made the House of Israel a desolate wasteland? Jesus Himself told us Who that thief was! IT WAS HIM... JESUS IS THE THIEF THAT CAME TO KILL CARNAL FLESH, STEAL THE BIRTHRIGHT OF JACOB BACK FROM ESAU, AND DESTROY THE TEMPLE OF HIS MORTAL BODY [THE VERY MAN OF PERDITION THAT WAS DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION, THAT THE SCRIPTURES COULD BE FULFILLED]!
Was Jesus only here to destroy the veil of His OWN flesh [historically - as the first veil]?
Was His death and resurrection the full death and resurrection of Christ?
NO, NO, NO!
Jesus was here to show us [as a prototype] WHAT GOD WAS GOING TO DO WITH THE CORPORATE BODY OF EVERY MAN: DESTROY THEIR CARNAL FLESH, AND RAISE THEM INTO THE INCORRUPTIBLE BODY OF IMMORTALITY! Jesus provided us a perfect picture of BOTH of those natures, and the process of death and life [good and evil] that would be accomplished in all men! The death [rending] of Jesus' flesh [2,000 years ago] is NOT a type of the SECOND veil in the temple being rent [as Pentecost taught], but rather, His flesh was an allegorical picture of the FIRST veil being rent [the veil between the outer court, and the Holy Place]. After all; Jesus was NOT the high Priest of Tabernacles; HE WAS THE HIGH PRIEST OF PENTECOST [Pentecost is always represented allegorically by the Holy Place in the temple]. There is a SECOND VEIL in the temple, folks, the veil between the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies, and that veil is a type of OUR FLESH [the flesh of the Joseph company]! Jesus' flesh is represented as the veil between the outer court, and the Holy Place, BUT HIS FLESH WAS ONLY A PICTURE EXAMPLE OF A MUCH GREATER [AND LARGER ] VEIL - A VEIL THAT MUST BE RENT IN TWO, ALSO - OUR FLESH! That rending is called the SECOND DEATH! Blessed and Holy are those who take part in Christ's first resurrection [Jesus' appearing through the Joseph company], because the second death has NO POWER OVER THEM!
Caterpillars have come here to die, not to live perpetually in their wretched, leaf eating, crop destroying first estate. Caterpillars don't like butterflies, though!
Jesus is the abomination Who CAUSED the desolation of Israel - BY STANDING AS AN IDOL IN THE HOLY PLACE, BLOCKING THE WAY INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES [THAT IS... THE MAN OF SIN WITHIN HIM, WHICH ISRAEL WORSHIPED AS AN IDOL, WAS BLOCKING THE WAY], AND THEREBY, PREVENTING ANYONE ELSE FROM ENTERING IN AFTER HIM - UNTIL NOW!
I'M GOING IN! WANNA JOIN ME?
Heh heh heh! That's right! THE VERY IDOL THAT ISRAEL PUT THEIR TRUST IN HAS CAUSED THEM TO TRIP, AND HAS TOTALLY DECEIVED THEM [KEEPING THEM FROM ENTERING INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES - THE VERY "PLACE" THAT JESUS SAID HE CAME TO "PREPARE" FOR US]! That "place" is NOT a geographic location - THAT "PLACE" IS "IN CHRIST"! Jesus did not come to show us how to approach Him as Christ; HE CAME TO SHOW US HOW TO BECOME CHRIST! But until the dawn of the age of Tabernacles [now - the proper time], the angel Jesus guarded the entrance into the garden of Eden [the delight of Christ], using His flaming sWord to keep anything unclean from entering into it [until the appointed remnant elect could be born; those chosen to cross that threshold]!
But is isn't like Jesus didn't warn us of the deception of Pentecost! Remember what He told us in the beginning of this chapter? Look again at verse 4,
4Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].
Me: Next verse in Matthew,
16Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
Me: This verse is speaking of Christ in His two appearings. The Lion of the tribe of Judea [Jesus] is fleeing into the MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL (THE JOSEPH COMPANY)! LET HIM WHO [UNTIL NOW] HAS THOUGHT WITH THE MINDSET OF PENTECOST [Judea], SKIP WITH HINDS FEET UPON THE MOUNTAINS, AND THE HIGH PLACES IN THE TABERNACLE AGE OF JOSEPH!
17Let him who is on the housetop not come down and go into the house to take anything;
Me: This scripture is answered in verse 43. Jesus shows us who the thief is: HIMSELF, and how that thief has stolen the glory of God from the House of Israel! If you worship Jesus as a man-idol, you forfeit your inheritance, and give away your birthright as a SON OF GOD! Why? BECAUSE YOU PLACE THE GOD HEAD IN THE DEITY OF JESUS' FLESH, INSTEAD OF SEEING HIM AS A PROTOTYPE OF WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO BECOME! In doing this; you basically have your birthright taken for a piece of meat [as Esau did]! Because of this deception; God is telling us here not to allow Jesus to come into our house [with the mindset of Pentecost], and STEAL OUR INHERITANCE AS THE ELOHIM OF THE UNIVERSE! Jesus Himself told us that we were Elohimj, folks! It is the mindset of Pentecost, which has told us that we are NOT Elohim, that has deceived the nations, and in doing so; they have let Jesus come INTO THEIR HOUSE [FROM THE ROOFTOP], and and plunder their BIRTHRIGHT [STEAL THEIR GOODS]! Look at verse 25 of this chapter:
25See, I have warned you beforehand.
Me: When the age of Pentecost began to worship the moon [the man, Jesus - the first appearing of Christ], the moon ECLIPSED THE SUN [the second appearing of Christ in the elect FEW], and caused blindness in the MANY! The first coming of Christ caused the people to reject His second coming in the elect remnant [the 24 elders who are seated around God's throne]! Next verse,
18And let him who is in the field not turn back to get his overcoat.
19And alas for the women who are pregnant and for those who have nursing babies in those days!
20Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
21For then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now--no, and never will be [again].
22And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God's chosen ones) those days will be shortened.
23If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!--do not believe it.
24For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God's chosen ones).
25See, I have warned you beforehand.
26So if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness (desert)--do not go out there; if they tell you, Behold, He is in the secret places or inner rooms--do not believe it.
Me: This verse is a perfect picture of how Israel treated Christ at both of His appearings: They did not go out and receive Christ when he FIRST appeared as Jesus in the wilderness of sin [they would not suffer WITH Him, but wanted Him to suffer FOR them]. Likewise, when Christ appeared a SECOND time - IN THE INNER ROOMS, AND SECRET PLACES OF THE JOSEPH COMPANY; THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IN HIM THEN, EITHER!
27For just as the lightning flashes from the east [Christ's first appearing in Judah] and shines and is seen as far as the west [Christ's second appearing in Joseph], so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28Wherever there is a fallen body [Jesus], there the eagles [the many membered Christ] will flock together.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days the SUN will be darkened, and the MOON will not shed its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky [this is the first coming of Christ in the man, Jesus], and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor]. [This is the second coming of Christ in the corporate body of the elect Joseph company]!
31And He will send out His angels [Elohim] with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect (His chosen ones) from the four winds, [even] from one end of the universe to the other.
32From the fig tree learn this lesson: as soon as its young shoots become soft and tender and it puts out its leaves, you know of a surety that summer is near.
33So also when you see these signs, all taken together, coming to pass, you may know of a surety that He is near, at the very doors.
34Truly I tell you, this generation (the whole multitude of people living at the same time, in a definite, given period) will not pass away till all these things taken together take place.
35Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
36But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Me: Remember guys... the SON OF MAN is Christ in the many membered Joseph company.
38For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [men] marrying and [women] being given in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah went into the ark,
39And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away--so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
40At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
41Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
42Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.
43But understand this: had the householder known in what [part of the night (Pentecost)] watch the thief was coming [Jesus said "I COME AS A THIEF!"], he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be undermined and broken into.
Me: The age of Pentecost worshiped the man, Jesus, and as a consequence of this idolatry; Jesus came like a THIEF, and broke into their house, and stole their birthright [Jesus stole their Deity, because even though He told them that they were GREATER than He was; they did not believe Him, and still thought it robbery to call themselves equal with God, or greater than Jesus]! The stumbling stone caused the people of God to trip, and in worshiping Jesus, they did not receive the promised inheritance that God would have given them: THE GLORIFIED BODY - THE DEITY OF THE FATHERHOOD! But as for the elect; God sent the Elohim [angels], to bear them up, so that they would not dash their foot against that stone [be deceived by Christ Jesus]!
44You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man [Joseph company] is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
45Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?
46Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes, he will find so doing.
47I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
48But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone a long time,
49And begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunken,
50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he is not aware,
51And will punish him [cut him up by scourging] and put him with the pretenders (hypocrites); there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Me: I can say with all confidence, that no man has ever seen the things I have written this day. I know, because God told me that they had not! And here is the best part: I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE PART OF THE REVELATION I WAS TELLING YOU GUYS ABOUT EARLIER! It's coming... wait and see! Anybody here got their feathers ruffled, yet? If so, THEN HIT THE ROAD! I have no more tolerance for the idol worshipers of Pentecost, neither will I debate with them on ANY subject matter pertaining to the Word! And if someone thinks they can correct what I have written, then just try me! The pouting, brooding, and threatening of My elect by the religious crowd is OVER, Israel! bb
Read this closely... every Word of it is being fulfilled right now. I have highlighted some of the really important lines in this prophecy. Keep in mind the last writing I did here [as you read this chapter]. bb
Matthew 24
1JESUS DEPARTED from the temple area and was going on His way when His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to the buildings of the temple and point them out to Him.
2But He answered them, Do you see all these? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.
Me: The church [during the age of Pentecost] built their whole doctrine on the premise that every stone [person] was to be built upon Jesus [worshiping Him as ABOVE themselves, and believing that He suffered FOR THEM, so that they wouldn't have to]. In doing this, they did not realize what Jesus' true purpose was: TO SHOW THEM, BY HIS EXAMPLE, HOW THAT THEY [THEMSELVES] WERE TO BECOME CHRIST, ALSO; BY TAKING UP THEIR CROSS, AND FOLLOWING HIM DOWN THE VERY SAME PATH THAT HE WALKED - A PATH THAT ENDED WITH THE CRUCIFIXION OF HIS OWN SELFISH FLESH! JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD, IN ORDER TO SHOW THE WORLD HOW THAT THEY, TOO, WOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THE VERY SAME HARDSHIP, AND TRIBULATION THAT HE DID, AND THAT BY SUFFERING THAT SAME PURIFYING BAPTISM OF FIRE [GOD'S DISCIPLINE]; ALL MEN COULD PARTAKE OF THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD; AND LIKEWISE, ATTAIN TO THE RESURRECTION LIFE THAT ONLY COMES THROUGH THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CARNAL MIND!
The Church age of Pentecost built their hopes, and doctrines on a foundation of sand!
Because of this error [Israel seeing Jesus as the fullness of Christ], any stone [person] in God's kingdom, who believes, or teaches the world that Jesus ALONE is Christ, and that He was to be the GREATER appearing of Christ, [instead of the lesser appearing of Christ - as He Himself taught], will be abased by God for that view, and thrown down from that position of false humility, and will worship idolatry! THAT TEACHING IS LIKE GANGRENE, AND IT HAS ALMOST DESTROYED OUR WORLD!
Folks,
Jesus was the cornerstone of the pyramid - NOT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE! THE FULLNESS OF THE PYRAMID WAS MADE UP OF MANY STONES, ALL OF WHICH WERE SUPPORTED BY THE CORNERSTONE; THE CORNERSTONE EXAMPLE THAT JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SHOW THEM [in order to fully understand Who THEY were in Christ]! The truth is exactly the opposite of what the age of Pentecost taught: The man, Jesus, was the lesser light of Christ's appearing [NOT THE GREATER APPEARING], and His sole purpose was to be a type, shadow, and prototype image of US - THE MANY MEMBERED CHRIST ELECT - THE REMNANT OF THE JOSEPH COMPANY, WHO WOULD FOLLOW IN HIS FOOTSTEPS! Jesus was to be a sign, Who would point the way to the reality of the Christ we would become [on a HUGE scale]! And folks... Jesus, Himself, bore witness to this, by telling us that WE WOULD DO GREATER THINGS THAN HIM!
Look again at verse 1; Jesus was LEAVING THE TEMPLE AREA! Look!
Matthew 24
1JESUS DEPARTED from the temple area and was going on His way...
Guess what the temple area represents? HIS MORTAL BODY!
So, in order for the Christ Seed [1st appearing] to become a Tree with many branches [2nd appearing], IT HAS TO LEAVE IT'S EXISTENCE AS A SINGLE SEED, AND GO TO THE MOUNTAIN OF OLIVES! Interpretation: In order for the man, Christ Jesus, to make His greater appearing as a many membered body [a O-LIVE tree of life], he had to leave the temple of His single, mortal body [a single Seed], and go UP to the MOUNT OF OLIVES [THE JOSEPH COMPANY]! This whole chapter is addressing the issue of Christ's TWO comings, and how the whole world has been deceived concerning Christ's second appearing!
So, anyhow, Jesus leaves the TEMPLE AREA [His own flesh body - appearing 1], AND GOES TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES [a type of the many membered Christ - appearing 2]. Now look at the next verse...
3While He was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the SIGN of Your coming [this is Jesus' appearing as Christ] and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age [this is the second corporate appearing of Christ through the Joseph company]?
Me: Jesus answers this question in verse 30 [but more on that when we get there]. The key Word here is "SIGN". Remember this folks: A sign is an object that gives a "picture", or "directions" on how to attain, or arrive at the reality of what it is pointing to as an "image". A sign is NOT the reality of what it is pointing to... it is only a shadow, or picture that gives direction on how to attain, or arrive at that reality! Well guys... that is what Jesus was! Jesus [the historic man] was NOT the fullness of Christ [although, He was, indeed, filled with the Spirit of Christ], but rather, He was a prototype, and picture [sign] of what we, as a many membered body, would eventually attain! JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT THE FULL REALITY OF CHRIST; HE WAS A MINIATURE MODEL; AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE CORPORATE CHRIST WE WOULD BECOME ON A MUCH LARGER SCALE! That body, Who would appear as Christ 2,000 years later, would have another name: IMMANUEL [means: GOD WITH US] - THE BODY OF THE GODHEAD, WHO TOGETHER, [CORPORATELY], WOULD BECOME THE FATHER, AND CONSUMMATE THE AGES!
Guess what? The world mistook the ad for the actual PRODUCT!
Folks, for the last 2,000 years [of Pentecost], the cornerstone [Christ in Jesus - His first appearing] held up all of the other stones of the temple, but now that situation is being reversed, and that cornerstone is going to rest on top of the temple - AS THE CAPSTONE [JESUS SITTING ATOP GOD'S HEAVENLY STRUCTURE: A TEMPLE MADE UP OF MANY STONES NOT MADE WITH HUMAN HANDS]! The stone that the builders rejected [Jesus] has become the capstone of a HUGE, many membered body [Joseph], who are the reality of what Jesus was only a type, and shadow of!
You see... He that descended into the lower parts of the earth [Jesus; high priest of Pentecost, who died, and was planted in the ground as a Seed/sign], is, in reality, the very same one that ascended above the high mountains of Israel [Joseph; the corporate high priest of Tabernacles, Who is now being raised up as the resurrection life of Christ Jesus true form - IMMANUEL [means: God with all of us!]
Jesus is the first [Christ], and Joseph company is the last [Christ];
Jesus is the beginning, and Joseph is the end;
Jesus is the Seed [which grew up as a tender vine], and Joseph is the tree with many branches!
Now for the verification, and witness of these declarations:
Look at the two blessings that God gave to Judah and Joseph [Jacob's sons] in the book of Genesis, chapter 49. Jacob tells his sons to gather around him, and that he would bless them, and tell each one of them what would happen to their descendants in the last days:
To the house of Judah [Jesus' ancestral tribe]; Jacob said,
8Judah, you are the one whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons shall bow down to you.
9Judah, a lion's cub! With the prey, my son, you have gone high up [the mountain]. He stooped down, he crouched like a lion, and like a lioness--who dares provoke and rouse him?
10The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh [the Messiah, the Peaceful One] comes to Whom it belongs [JOSEPH], and to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
11Binding His foal to the vine and His donkey's colt to the choice vine, He washes His garments in wine and His clothes in the blood of grapes.
Me: WOW! LOOK AT HOW JUDAH'S BLESSING BEGINS! LOOK AT THE UNDERLINED PARTS OF THIS PROPHETIC BLESSING! Right off the bat; Jacob prophesies that the whole lot of his sons will BOW DOWN, AND WORSHIP [PRAISE] JUDAH! If that doesn't describe what the people of Israel have done to Jesus, then I don't know what could! After all... Jesus is the LION CUB OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH! Jesus has been WORSHIPED by the nation of Israel, and the stench of that idolatry has reached the highest heavens, and filled God's nostrils! But that is about to change! Up until this pivotal point in history; God has caused Israel [as well as the rest of the world] to believe that Jesus [Judah] was the FULLNESS OF CHRIST, and that the tribe of Judah would receive the birthright of Israel! That is why it is written Romans 1:25,
25Who [the people] changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature [Jesus' flesh] more than the Creator [God in the Joseph company], who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Me: Guess what? WE ARE ELOHIM, FOLKS! THE AGE OF PENTECOST WAS WRONG! They have believed a lie... a deceptive lie that the house of Judah has told them [to this very day]! GO INTO ANY CHURCH AND ASK THEM... THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT THE HOUSE OF JUDAH IS THE HOLDER OF THE BIRTHRIGHT! The LIE-ON OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH has become a stumbling Stone, and a rock of offense, that has caused men to trip!
Why do I call Jesus the LIE-ON OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH?
Because the church [during the entire age of Pentecost - from A.D. 33 to A.D. 1993] taught the people that Jesus, ALONE, was the fullness of God's Christ, and in doing so, THEY CAUSED THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE NOT TO RECOGNIZE THE [CORPORATE] APPEARING OF CHRIST AT HIS SECOND COMING!
GOD CAUSED THEM TO DECEIVED THE WHOLE WORLD!
Jesus [the historical man, the golden calf-graven image] was used by the wicked teachers, swindlers, and false prophets [during the age of Pentecost], as the religious centerpiece for their trickery, and greed, and He served as the prime source of their frivolous income. For 2,000 years; these sorcerers preached guilt, condemnation, and self-reliance in Jesus' name to the people, in order to syphon money from them, by using witchcraft, fear, and falsehood - all for the sake of their gainsaying purposes, and financial schemes! That is why JUDAs held the MONEYBAG, because he is a picture of the church's idolatry of Jesus [Judah] during the age of Pentecost! Not only that, but the worship of Jesus was also the root cause of Israel's IDOLATRY during that dark age, and it is the lies and false doctrines that the false teachers [of Pentecost] taught the people [IN JESUS' NAME], which ultimately caused the whole world to err, and be deceived!
And what exactly was the lie they preached?
Namely [in a nutshell], that the man, Jesus, ALONE was the Christ, and that Judah is the birthright tribe that will always hold God's scepter]! Jesus warned us this would happen [in this very chapter of Matthew we are presently studying]!
O.K., now that we have seen what Judah's blessing is, let's take a look at what God spoke to the house of Joseph [the tribe which represents the Melchizedek priesthood - those chosen from every tribe of Israel]. This is where the birthright is now, folks - we [the Joseph company] have taken the baton from Jesus!
Hey... Do you guys think they will like me in Palestine? He he he! This day I declare, that Joseph is the Messiah from Shiloh [which Jacob spoke of], and the scepter is now being given unto Him to Whom it belongs! Look at what Jacob said to Joseph,
22Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well (spring or fountain), whose branches run over the wall.
23Skilled archers have bitterly attacked and sorely worried him; they have shot at him and persecuted him
24But his bow remained strong and steady and rested in the Strength that does not fail him, for the arms of his hands were made strong and active by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25By the God of your father, Who will help you, and by the Almighty, Who will bless you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings lying in the deep beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26The blessings of your father [on you] are greater than the blessings of my forefathers [Abraham and Isaac on me] and are as lasting as the bounties of the eternal hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was the consecrated one and the one separated from his brethren and [the one who] is prince among them.
Me: So Judah was a vine, BUT JOSEPH IS A BOUGH WITH MANY BRANCHES! Jesus was praised, and worshiped by His brothers, BUT JOSEPH IS CONSTANTLY BEING SHOT AT BY ARCHERS! I know that my back is full of wounds from the Judah bunch!
Anyhow... I thought it was important for us to see that God had preplanned all of these events, and blessings; long before any of us were born into this world. Knowing who is possessor of the birthright, and scepter is of utmost importance, if we are to understand the things I am going to be teaching on later! Carry on! Continuing in Matthew 24...
4Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].
Me: Heh heh heh! Well... that one is self-explanatory! Jesus was warning us about HIMSELF... because it was He that caused the age of Pentecost to trip, and be deceived!
5For MANY will come in (on the strength of) My name [appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I [Jesus] am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.
Me: Guess Who led the whole world into error, by being a STUMBLING STONE that caused men to trip up, and not recognize the TRUE, AND GREATER APPEARING OF CHRIST? Jesus... that's Who! Heh heh heh!
While we are at this verse; I want to talk a little bit about the "many", and the "few". As you all know, Jesus said,
"MANY are called, but FEW are chosen."
All through the scripture, God speaks rather frequently about these two quantities, and the Holy Ghost showed me something neat in the lettering of these two words. They not only represent quantities, they also represent both carnal, and spiritual "conditions".
How?
Any time you see the word "many" in scripture, it is speaking of the world during the age of Pentecost, and MAN's refusal to hear sound doctrine. That is why the word "MANY" has the word "MAN" in it's spelling! Folks, any time you have "MANy" men in agreement on something spiritual, you can bet your rear end that falsehood, deceit, and murder are not to far away! Look at who caused all of the wars in the last 2,000 years - the religions of man!
Remember the MOB that spit on Jesus? MANY!
Remember the Pharisee bunch? MANY!
Remember the sons of Korah, and the crowd they brought before Moses? MANY!
Therefore; it is written in the law of Moses,
Exodus 23:2
You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you bear witness at a trial so as to side with a multitude to pervert justice.
Me: So the word "many" is ALMOST always synonymous with the persons God is using in the antichrist mode [for earthy, antichristian, fertilizing purposes]. That is why God always makes the vast majority of His creation BLINDED to spiritual things [truths], because He needs vessels of dishonour, in order to use them as instruments of purification for His vessels of honour [the little flock - the "few"]!
Speaking of which; that brings us to the "FEW". In sharp contrast to the "MANY" representing God's CALLED vessels of antichrist, the "FEW" represent those vessels who are CHOSEN for the purpose of being vessels of Christ! That is why the word "FEW" includes the letters "EW" in it's spelling. A ewe lamb is always representative of Christ, so this key helps us to understand that when there are only a "FEW" persons involved in something; it has a tendency to signify agape principles.
So... just as God uses "MANY" to do the dastardly things He needs done, the Father will almost always use only a "FEW" to accomplish the positive things He desires accomplished! With all of this being said, the most important thing to know is this: Both of these offices are under God's power, and control [the good [seed and earth], and well as the evil [fertilizer], and no man chooses which office he will hold at any given moment. I tend to think that at some time or another during our lives, that we all hold both of them! LOL! Although; I will say that it is obvious that different people tend to lend themselves to certain functions that are more suited to their demeanor!
Nevertheless... whether one is "CALLED" [one of the many], or whether one is "CHOSEN" [one of the few]; all all of these human conditions are needed, and all conditions [whether good, or using evil for good purposes] are of God [originate from Him]!
Anyway... for the sake of understanding the scriptures more clearly; keep these word meanings in mind, and it will help you to unlock the scripture mysteries
6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.
7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place;
8All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish].
9Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.
Me: I think I can say with complete certainty, and with God [and you] as my witnesses, that God has fulfilled that last scripture, by the reception I received from the world, because of my writings. I have been totally hated, and cursed by Israel [during the age of Pentecost].
11And MANY false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead MANY into error.
12And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,
13But he who endures to the end will be saved.
14And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.
15So when you see the appalling sacrilege [the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place--let the reader take notice and ponder and consider and heed [this]--
Me: Wanna know who the abomination that caused Israel and Judah's desolation is? JESUS - that's Who! Look at what Jesus said in the last chapter; chapter 23 of Matthew 36-38:
36Truly I declare to you, all these [evil, calamitous times] will come upon this generation.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a mother fowl gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused!
38Behold, YOUR HOUSE is forsaken and DESOLATE (abandoned and left destitute of God's help).
Me: Jesus tells us plainly there, that the house of Israel would be left DESOLATE! Right?
Guess who it is that breaks into a man's house, and steals his goods [DESOLATING that man's home]? A THIEF DOES! Well... who is the thief that has made the House of Israel a desolate wasteland? Jesus Himself told us Who that thief was! IT WAS HIM... JESUS IS THE THIEF THAT CAME TO KILL CARNAL FLESH, STEAL THE BIRTHRIGHT OF JACOB BACK FROM ESAU, AND DESTROY THE TEMPLE OF HIS MORTAL BODY [THE VERY MAN OF PERDITION THAT WAS DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION, THAT THE SCRIPTURES COULD BE FULFILLED]!
Was Jesus only here to destroy the veil of His OWN flesh [historically - as the first veil]?
Was His death and resurrection the full death and resurrection of Christ?
NO, NO, NO!
Jesus was here to show us [as a prototype] WHAT GOD WAS GOING TO DO WITH THE CORPORATE BODY OF EVERY MAN: DESTROY THEIR CARNAL FLESH, AND RAISE THEM INTO THE INCORRUPTIBLE BODY OF IMMORTALITY! Jesus provided us a perfect picture of BOTH of those natures, and the process of death and life [good and evil] that would be accomplished in all men! The death [rending] of Jesus' flesh [2,000 years ago] is NOT a type of the SECOND veil in the temple being rent [as Pentecost taught], but rather, His flesh was an allegorical picture of the FIRST veil being rent [the veil between the outer court, and the Holy Place]. After all; Jesus was NOT the high Priest of Tabernacles; HE WAS THE HIGH PRIEST OF PENTECOST [Pentecost is always represented allegorically by the Holy Place in the temple]. There is a SECOND VEIL in the temple, folks, the veil between the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies, and that veil is a type of OUR FLESH [the flesh of the Joseph company]! Jesus' flesh is represented as the veil between the outer court, and the Holy Place, BUT HIS FLESH WAS ONLY A PICTURE EXAMPLE OF A MUCH GREATER [AND LARGER ] VEIL - A VEIL THAT MUST BE RENT IN TWO, ALSO - OUR FLESH! That rending is called the SECOND DEATH! Blessed and Holy are those who take part in Christ's first resurrection [Jesus' appearing through the Joseph company], because the second death has NO POWER OVER THEM!
Caterpillars have come here to die, not to live perpetually in their wretched, leaf eating, crop destroying first estate. Caterpillars don't like butterflies, though!
Jesus is the abomination Who CAUSED the desolation of Israel - BY STANDING AS AN IDOL IN THE HOLY PLACE, BLOCKING THE WAY INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES [THAT IS... THE MAN OF SIN WITHIN HIM, WHICH ISRAEL WORSHIPED AS AN IDOL, WAS BLOCKING THE WAY], AND THEREBY, PREVENTING ANYONE ELSE FROM ENTERING IN AFTER HIM - UNTIL NOW!
I'M GOING IN! WANNA JOIN ME?
Heh heh heh! That's right! THE VERY IDOL THAT ISRAEL PUT THEIR TRUST IN HAS CAUSED THEM TO TRIP, AND HAS TOTALLY DECEIVED THEM [KEEPING THEM FROM ENTERING INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES - THE VERY "PLACE" THAT JESUS SAID HE CAME TO "PREPARE" FOR US]! That "place" is NOT a geographic location - THAT "PLACE" IS "IN CHRIST"! Jesus did not come to show us how to approach Him as Christ; HE CAME TO SHOW US HOW TO BECOME CHRIST! But until the dawn of the age of Tabernacles [now - the proper time], the angel Jesus guarded the entrance into the garden of Eden [the delight of Christ], using His flaming sWord to keep anything unclean from entering into it [until the appointed remnant elect could be born; those chosen to cross that threshold]!
But is isn't like Jesus didn't warn us of the deception of Pentecost! Remember what He told us in the beginning of this chapter? Look again at verse 4,
4Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].
Me: Next verse in Matthew,
16Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;
Me: This verse is speaking of Christ in His two appearings. The Lion of the tribe of Judea [Jesus] is fleeing into the MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL (THE JOSEPH COMPANY)! LET HIM WHO [UNTIL NOW] HAS THOUGHT WITH THE MINDSET OF PENTECOST [Judea], SKIP WITH HINDS FEET UPON THE MOUNTAINS, AND THE HIGH PLACES IN THE TABERNACLE AGE OF JOSEPH!
17Let him who is on the housetop not come down and go into the house to take anything;
Me: This scripture is answered in verse 43. Jesus shows us who the thief is: HIMSELF, and how that thief has stolen the glory of God from the House of Israel! If you worship Jesus as a man-idol, you forfeit your inheritance, and give away your birthright as a SON OF GOD! Why? BECAUSE YOU PLACE THE GOD HEAD IN THE DEITY OF JESUS' FLESH, INSTEAD OF SEEING HIM AS A PROTOTYPE OF WHAT YOU WERE MEANT TO BECOME! In doing this; you basically have your birthright taken for a piece of meat [as Esau did]! Because of this deception; God is telling us here not to allow Jesus to come into our house [with the mindset of Pentecost], and STEAL OUR INHERITANCE AS THE ELOHIM OF THE UNIVERSE! Jesus Himself told us that we were Elohimj, folks! It is the mindset of Pentecost, which has told us that we are NOT Elohim, that has deceived the nations, and in doing so; they have let Jesus come INTO THEIR HOUSE [FROM THE ROOFTOP], and and plunder their BIRTHRIGHT [STEAL THEIR GOODS]! Look at verse 25 of this chapter:
25See, I have warned you beforehand.
Me: When the age of Pentecost began to worship the moon [the man, Jesus - the first appearing of Christ], the moon ECLIPSED THE SUN [the second appearing of Christ in the elect FEW], and caused blindness in the MANY! The first coming of Christ caused the people to reject His second coming in the elect remnant [the 24 elders who are seated around God's throne]! Next verse,
18And let him who is in the field not turn back to get his overcoat.
19And alas for the women who are pregnant and for those who have nursing babies in those days!
20Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.
21For then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now--no, and never will be [again].
22And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God's chosen ones) those days will be shortened.
23If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!--do not believe it.
24For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God's chosen ones).
25See, I have warned you beforehand.
26So if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wilderness (desert)--do not go out there; if they tell you, Behold, He is in the secret places or inner rooms--do not believe it.
Me: This verse is a perfect picture of how Israel treated Christ at both of His appearings: They did not go out and receive Christ when he FIRST appeared as Jesus in the wilderness of sin [they would not suffer WITH Him, but wanted Him to suffer FOR them]. Likewise, when Christ appeared a SECOND time - IN THE INNER ROOMS, AND SECRET PLACES OF THE JOSEPH COMPANY; THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IN HIM THEN, EITHER!
27For just as the lightning flashes from the east [Christ's first appearing in Judah] and shines and is seen as far as the west [Christ's second appearing in Joseph], so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28Wherever there is a fallen body [Jesus], there the eagles [the many membered Christ] will flock together.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days the SUN will be darkened, and the MOON will not shed its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky [this is the first coming of Christ in the man, Jesus], and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor]. [This is the second coming of Christ in the corporate body of the elect Joseph company]!
31And He will send out His angels [Elohim] with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect (His chosen ones) from the four winds, [even] from one end of the universe to the other.
32From the fig tree learn this lesson: as soon as its young shoots become soft and tender and it puts out its leaves, you know of a surety that summer is near.
33So also when you see these signs, all taken together, coming to pass, you may know of a surety that He is near, at the very doors.
34Truly I tell you, this generation (the whole multitude of people living at the same time, in a definite, given period) will not pass away till all these things taken together take place.
35Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
36But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Me: Remember guys... the SON OF MAN is Christ in the many membered Joseph company.
38For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [men] marrying and [women] being given in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah went into the ark,
39And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away--so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
40At that time two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
41Two women will be grinding at the hand mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
42Watch therefore [give strict attention, be cautious and active], for you do not know in what kind of a day [whether a near or remote one] your Lord is coming.
43But understand this: had the householder known in what [part of the night (Pentecost)] watch the thief was coming [Jesus said "I COME AS A THIEF!"], he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be undermined and broken into.
Me: The age of Pentecost worshiped the man, Jesus, and as a consequence of this idolatry; Jesus came like a THIEF, and broke into their house, and stole their birthright [Jesus stole their Deity, because even though He told them that they were GREATER than He was; they did not believe Him, and still thought it robbery to call themselves equal with God, or greater than Jesus]! The stumbling stone caused the people of God to trip, and in worshiping Jesus, they did not receive the promised inheritance that God would have given them: THE GLORIFIED BODY - THE DEITY OF THE FATHERHOOD! But as for the elect; God sent the Elohim [angels], to bear them up, so that they would not dash their foot against that stone [be deceived by Christ Jesus]!
44You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man [Joseph company] is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him.
45Who then is the faithful, thoughtful, and wise servant, whom his master has put in charge of his household to give to the others the food and supplies at the proper time?
46Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) is that servant whom, when his master comes, he will find so doing.
47I solemnly declare to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
48But if that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is delayed and is going to be gone a long time,
49And begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunken,
50The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour of which he is not aware,
51And will punish him [cut him up by scourging] and put him with the pretenders (hypocrites); there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
Me: I can say with all confidence, that no man has ever seen the things I have written this day. I know, because God told me that they had not! And here is the best part: I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE PART OF THE REVELATION I WAS TELLING YOU GUYS ABOUT EARLIER! It's coming... wait and see! Anybody here got their feathers ruffled, yet? If so, THEN HIT THE ROAD! I have no more tolerance for the idol worshipers of Pentecost, neither will I debate with them on ANY subject matter pertaining to the Word! And if someone thinks they can correct what I have written, then just try me! The pouting, brooding, and threatening of My elect by the religious crowd is OVER, Israel! bb
