David,
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life." Me: My interpretation can only be seen when we divide the Christ IN Jesus, from the flesh shell that Jesus Himself was. "For God so loved the world [the earthen vessels of humanity], that He gave His only begotten Son [the Christ Spirit of wine Who came to indwell all of those earthen vessels], that whosoever [whatever earthen vessel] believes IN HIM [finding FULL-FILL-ment in that wine], should not perish, but have everlasting life [the vessels of clay can only find life in the wine that has filled them]." I do not see this "world" as speaking of the habitat that the earthen vessels live in; I see the world as the earthen vessels themselves, and the natures that abide there. |

Part 13 [Leavened and Unleavened Bread]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... All the children go to leaven. Look at these passages: Luke 12:1 IN THE meanwhile, when so many thousands of the people had gathered that they were trampling on one another, Jesus commenced by saying primarily to His disciples, Be on your guard against the leaven (fermented false doctrines of men) of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy [producing unrest and violent agitation]. O.K., first of all; there is a great hieroglyphic meaning for the word "leaven" that is revealed in this scripture passage! Here is what "leaven" means in the scripture: The fermented false doctrines of men [soured wine vinegar], which produces unrest and violent agitation. Now we know why Christ didn't want to drink of that vinegar on the cross! YUCK! Matthew 16:6,11,12 Jesus said to them, Be careful and on your guard against the leaven (bread ferment of man's false doctrinal corruption) of the Pharisees and Sadducees. [Jesus continued] How is it that you fail to understand that I was not talking to you about [NATURAL] bread? But beware of the leaven (fermented false doctrinal bread) of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Then they discerned that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of [NATURAL] bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. And now from the old Testament, Exodus 12:19 Seven days no leaven [symbolic of doctrinal corruption] shall be found in your houses; whoever eats what is leavened shall be excluded from the congregation of Israel, whether a stranger or native-born. Me: So before we can understand this part of the teaching; we first need to understand this basic principle: The leavened bread represents the doctrines of man, and the unleavened bread represents the truth of God. Now, if you will remember; God made a startling statement about Jacob and Esau: Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated (held in relative disregard in comparison with My feeling for Jacob). Me: Now I know that this scripture has inner meaning, when we look at these two people as representing the carnal nature, and the Christ nature in us [Jacob = Spirit; Esau = flesh], but there is another connotation that it applies here to, also. These two characters also represent the two types of bread: The leavened, and unleavened loaves; the two ages, and priesthoods [Pentecost and Tabernacles], which we have been discussing in this article. Esau means "Shaggy; his doings", and he is symbolic of the House of Judah/Edom [Edom means: Red], whose high priest was Jesus in the age of Pentecost. If you will remember; Esau traded His birthright for a bowl of "Red" lentil stew". This is symbolic of how the church age priesthood worshiped Jesus' flesh [the Seed], and placed Him on a pedestal BESIDE God [as the golden calf]. This made the people stumble, and caused them to refuse the true Christ at His second appearing, WHEN HE APPEARED AS THE MANY MEMBERED CHRISTED TREE OF LIFE - WITH A MYRIAD OF BRANCHES! Like Esau, these religious people traded their birthright for a piece of meat [Jesus' flesh], thereby trading their birthright to Jacob [a type of the priesthood of Tabernacles]! They traded the opportunity to become Christed vessels themselves, in order to worship an historical character ALONE as the Christ! They traded the promise of the Father [Christ in them], for a bowl of RED lentil soup [symbolic of Judao/Christian false doctrinal values surrounding Jesus, in the age of Pentecost]. They traded marriage with the Lord of Hosts, for a party, and a golden calf [Jesus' flesh]. They traded the truth for a lie. Afterward, they sought to regain that birthright with tears, but no crying or begging could change the Father's mind [though they sought it with tears]. Look at what Christ IN Jesus said, John 6 48I am the Bread of Life [that gives life--the Living Bread]. 49Your forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and [yet] they died. 50[But] this is the Bread that comes down from heaven, so that [any]one may eat of it and never die. 51I [Myself] am this Living Bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and also the Bread that I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh (body). Me: Folks, this is not Jesus speaking of His NATURAL flesh [as the church always thought] - THIS IS THE CHRIST IN JESUS SPEAKING OF HIS GLORIFIED FLESH [THE MANY MEMBERED BODY OF THE JOSEPH COMPANY, WHO HAVE PARTAKEN OF THAT SAME UNLEAVENED LOAF]! THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF FLESH! Remember what Paul said? 1 Corinthians 15:40 There are heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies, but the beauty and glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, while the beauty and glory of earthly bodies is a different kind. Me: When the church heard Christ Jesus tell them to eat His flesh, and drink His blood; they thought that THE MAN - Jesus [the golden calf they worshiped at Horeb] was commanding them to eat His flesh [worship his flesh], but that flesh [BREAD] is evil [LEAVENED - CORRUPTED WITH SIN]! It is written, Hosea 7:4 They are all [IDOLATROUS] adulterers; their passion smolders like heat of an oven when the baker ceases to stir the fire from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened. Me: In other words... because of the false doctrines taught to the people by the religions of men during the age of Pentecost [they ate leavened bread], the people have become idolaters, and adulterers, and are dying in the wilderness! Now are you guys seeing the importance of understanding that Jesus sinned? Read John 6:51, again, I [Myself] am this Living Bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and also the Bread that I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh (body). Me: Was this flesh that Jesus was referring to, His natural flesh body? NO, CHRIST WAS SPEAKING IN JESUS THERE, ABOUT WHAT HE [AS A CONGEALED SPIRIT] WOULD BECOME IN OUR BODY [THE MANY MEMBERED CHRIST - THE TRUE BREAD FROM HEAVEN - THE BREAD OF LIFE], AND FRIENDS; THAT FORM OF CHRIST IS THE UNLEAVENED BREAD, WHICH REPRESENTS HOW ISRAEL MUST COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT CHRIST IS NO LONGER IN THE FORM OF A SINGLE, HISTORIC MAN, BUT THAT CHRIST IS NOW A PURGED LOAF, THAT HAS NO LEAVEN IN IT WHATSOEVER! That is the true Lord's supper. You can put up the natural wine and bread, Israel! Christ appeared the first time, WITH SIN [in the form of the leavened bread of Jesus]; and the people idolized Him! But now Christ is appearing a second time, WITHOUT SIN [in the form of the purified Joseph company - the Spirits of just men MADE PERFECT], as a unleavened loaf, that has been totally purged from all unrighteousness! This time, however, the people rejected Him! As it is written, "The children sat down to eat and drink [the leavened bread, and soured vinegar], THEN ROSE UP TO PLAY!" Me: But speaking about the purification, and the cleansing of the people, the prophet says, 1 John 3:3 And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him [Christ - the unleavened bread of sincerity] cleanses (purifies) himself just as He [Jesus, the forerunner-firstborn] is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless). Me: So then, this is what the two kinds of bread represent: [1] Jesus represents the leavened bread [the false doctrines of men], in the age of Pentecost [a bread that was corrupt, and sinful - symbolic of the doctrines of men]. The church worshiped Jesus' NATURAL flesh in this era, AND THEY DIED! And, [2] Christ represents the unleavened bread [the truth], in the age of Tabernacles [a bread that has been purified, and revealed in the overcomers]. The Melchizedek priesthood is partaking of that loaf, and they will live forever! There are two kinds of bread in the temple: The shew bread of Pentecost, which was on a table in the holy place [and contained leaven], and then there was the manna from heaven, which was UNLEAVENED, and was kept in the Holy of Holies, inside the Ark of the Covenant. It is written in Revelation, He that overcomes, I will give the hidden manna. Me: When we realize that the bread Christ is in a many membered body [the Joseph company] a loaf broken, and passed on to us - His chosen disciples, and no longer a single man, then we are partaking of the true unleavened bread that came down from heaven, but, if we eat the same leavened bread that the scribes and pharisees ate [during the age of Pentecost], which worshiped the terrestrial flesh of Jesus as the bread of heaven. The religious people are eating of leavened bread, when they eat of Jesus' natural body [worshiping Jesus' flesh alone as Christ]. This body of Jesus is the leavened bread that God had forbidden Israel to eat. The people are also drinking in the gospel of vinegar [which is a "false vinegar wine"; it is an allegorical picture of how the church viewed Jesus as the fullness of Christ, and idolized Him during Pentecost], and in doing so, they ate and drank the Lord's supper unworthily! That is why many are sick, and have fallen asleep among you! This is the leavened [corrupt] loaf, which God ordained the age of Pentecost to partake of! That's right... GOD KNEW THAT THE AGE OF THE PENTECOST CHURCH WOULD BE GROSSLY CORRUPT - HE PLANNED THEIR DECEPTION - HE ORDAINED IT! After all; someone had to crucify the Lord of glory, when He appeared the second time! As it is written, Leviticus 2:12 As an offering of firstfruits you may offer leaven and honey to the Lord, but they shall not be burned on the altar for a sweet odor [to the Lord, for their aid to fermentation is symbolic of corruption in the human heart]. And again, Leviticus 23:17 You shall bring from your dwellings two loaves of bread to be waved, made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven, for firstfruits to the Lord. Me: And finally, Jesus shows how the kingdom had to have leaven bread [the corruption, and false doctrines of sinful men], in order to have a sour loaf to purge: Luke 13:21 It [the kingdom of God] is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of wheat flour or meal until it was all leavened (fermented). Me: They're still waving that sour dough grain offering, too, Israel! So why did God allow this corrupt offering? Why did the Father ordain such a horrid time period in man's history [the last 2,000 years]? BECAUSE GOD WANTED TO MAKE MAN UNDERSTAND, THROUGH EXPERIENCE, HOW ESSENTIAL HIS LOVE IS FOR TO LIVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE! A LIFE WITHOUT GOD IS NOT A LIFE AT ALL: A PERSON WITHOUT THE BREATH OF CHRIST REVEALED IN THEIR SPIRIT IS A WALKING DEAD MAN! YOU SEE; BY SUBJECTING MAN TO THE FRUSTRATION OF LIVING IN A SELF-CENTERED AGE [WHERE THE PEOPLE REJECTED CHRIST, AND CLUNG TO THEIR OWN SELF RELIANCE ON HUMAN RESOURCES], GOD COULD SHOW MAN THE HORRIBLE RAMIFICATIONS, AND HOPELESS OUTCOME OF WHAT IT IS TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE GOD DOES NOT EXIST! THAT'S RIGHT... GOD MADE DARKNESS, SO THAT WE COULD UNDERSTAND HOW DARK THAT DARKNESS IS, AND FULLY APPRECIATE THE LIGHT! It's like not knowing what well is, until you have experienced sick, or not knowing what living is, until you have experienced death! Knowledge, by experience, brings forth wisdom! As it is written, Romans 8:19-21 19For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. 20For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it--[yet] with the hope 21That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children. Me: Remember... the tares and the wheat have to grow up together, folks; in order that the tares can serve as a covering to protect the wheat [the weeds help hold the soil around the crop]! You don't want to pull out the tares [weeds] too early; but must until the wheat is totally mature, otherwise, you will damage the crop! So, because the age of Pentecost partook of the leavened bread [the false doctrines of man], they died in the wilderness, because they did not purge the old leaven out [they either thought that Jesus' sinless purity was good enough to allow them to escape the judgment of God, or else they thought Jesus was going to do the suffering for them - BIG MISTAKE IN ASSUMPTION, AND REASONING, FOLKS]! This discernment was wrong on their part, and they ate and drank in the righteous judgement of God [the leavened bread of Jesus idolatry], and thus brought swift retribution upon themselves, and their children. They ate the bread of leaven in the wilderness, AND THEY DIED [not inheriting the promise of Abraham]! When the Lord told Israel to make a "free will" offering, He was not advocating that they had the power of free will; He was telling them that they were going to have to lay down any false idea, which gave them the impression that they had ever had free will! When God wanted a free will offering from His people, he did not mean that he wanted them to use their free will, and make a decision to follow Him, and choose Him, He meant that He wanted them to lay down the false teaching that said they ever HAD A FREE WILL! Look at what God compares the doctrine of "free will" to: Amos 4:5 And offer [by burning] a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim and publish freewill offerings, for this you like to do, O children of Israel! says the Lord God. Me: Guys, God has had enough of the leavened bread of religious tradition! He's had enough of the golden calf idolatry! He's had enough of your solemn assemblies! He's had enough of your free will false teachings! He's had enough of your "name it claim it" puke! He wants the people to eat of the unleavened loaf! Thus says the Lord, OFFER UP THOSE RIDICULOUS DOCTRINES OF MEN ON THE FIRE - OFFER THEM UP, AND BURN THEM ON THE ALTAR, BECAUSE YOU WILL EITHER BURN THEM, OR THE FATHER WILL DO IT FOR YOU! DO AS I SAY - OFFER UP THE WORKS OF REPENTANCE, AND FULFILL WHAT I AM COMMANDING YOU TO DO! FILL UP THE FULL MEASURE OF YOUR FATHERS! As it is written, Exodus 12:15 [In celebration of the Passover in future years] seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven [symbolic of corruption] out of your houses; for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. And again, Exodus 12:20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread [during that week]. And a third witness, Exodus 23:18 You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread [but keep it unmixed], neither shall the fat of My feast remain all night until morning. Now, look again at the two breads, and what they represent: First there is the earthy bread, [Leavened Bread 1] Moses' leavened bread represents the natural body of Jesus', and the false doctrines of men which were taught during the Pentecost age - Christ's first coming. This is symbolized by Moses' bread [MAN-na] in the wilderness. Those who ate this bread died. As it is written, John 6 32Jesus then said to them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Moses [a type of Jesus' flesh] did not give you the Bread from heaven [what Moses gave you was NOT the Bread from heaven], but it is My Father Who gives you the true heavenly Bread [Christ in Spirit us]. And then there is the heavenly Bread, [Unleavened Bread 2] Jesus' unleavened bread represents the many membered spiritual body of Christ, in His Tabernacles ministry - Christ's second coming; the Bread of Life from heaven. Those who eat of this bread will not die. As Jesus said, John 6 33For the Bread of God is He Who comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world. As it is written, 1 Corinthians 5:6-8 [About the condition of your church] your boasting is not good [indeed, it is most unseemly and entirely out of place]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven will ferment the whole lump [of dough]? Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated [as you are], for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened [bread] of purity (nobility, honor) and sincerity and [unadulterated] truth. Galatians 5:9 A little leaven (a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers) leavens the whole lump [it perverts the whole conception of faith, and misleads the whole church]. bb

I wrote this on 10/8 and no one even saw what I was saying,
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was
leavened.
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: Hidden gems, the real Truth hidden from "them".....unleavened bread is good, leavened is not...why? Star "Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? 7 You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. 10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. |

Part 14 [Barabbas and Jesus]
Acts 3:14 But you denied and rejected and disowned the Pure and Holy, the Just and Blameless One, and demanded [the pardon of] a murderer to be granted to you. Me: Since we touched on the fact that Jesus Christ is the "thief" who stole the birthright from Israel, I thought I would take a look at Barabbas. This is just one more picture of how Israel chose the flesh of the man: Jesus, over the body of Christ [the many membered body]! Here are the different versions of the account of the Jews asking for Barabbas to be released, while they screamed for the Christ to be crucified! Matthew 27:15-23 15Now at the Feast [of the Passover] the governor was in the habit of setting free for the people any one prisoner whom they chose. 16And at that time they had a notorious prisoner whose name was Barabbas. 17So when they had assembled for this purpose, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to set free for you, Barabbas, or Jesus Who is called Christ? 18For he knew that it was because of envy that they had handed Him over to him. 19Also, while he was seated on the judgment bench, his wife sent him a message, saying, Have nothing to do with that just and upright Man, for I have had a painful experience today in a dream because of Him. 20But the chief priests and the elders prevailed on the people to ask for Barabbas, and put Jesus to death. 21Again the governor said to them, Which of the two do you wish me to release for you? And they said, Barabbas! 22Pilate said to them, Then what shall I do with Jesus Who is called Christ? 23They all replied, Let Him be crucified! And he said, Why? What has He done that is evil? But they shouted all the louder, Let Him be crucified! Mark 15:6-15 6Now at the Feast he [was accustomed to] set free for them any one prisoner whom they requested. 7And among the rioters in the prison who had committed murder in the insurrection there was a man named Barabbas. 8And the throng came up and began asking Pilate to do as he usually did for them. 9And he replied to them, Do you wish me to set free for you the King of the Jews? 10For he was aware that it was [because they were prompted] by envy that the chief priests had delivered Him up. 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to get him to release for them Barabbas instead. 12And again Pilate said to them, Then what shall I do with the Man Whom you call the King of the Jews? 13And they shouted back again, Crucify Him! 14But Pilate said to them, Why? What has He done that is evil? But they shouted with all their might all the more, Crucify Him [at once]! 15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, set Barabbas free for them; and after having Jesus whipped, he handed [Him] over to be crucified. Luke 23:17-25 17For it was necessary for him to release to them one prisoner at the Feast. 18But they all together raised a deep cry [from the depths of their throats], saying, Away with this Man! Release to us Barabbas! 19He was a man who had been thrown into prison for raising a riot in the city, and for murder. 20Once more Pilate called to them, wishing to release Jesus; 21But they kept shouting out, Crucify, crucify Him! 22A third time he said to them, Why? What wrong has He done? I have found [no offense or crime or guilt] in Him nothing deserving of death; I will therefore chastise Him [in order to teach Him better] and release Him. 23But they were insistent and urgent, demanding with loud cries that He should be crucified. And their voices prevailed (accomplished their purpose). 24And Pilate gave sentence, that what they asked should be done. 25So he released the man who had been thrown into prison for riot and murder, for whom they continued to ask, but Jesus he delivered up to be done with as they willed. John 18:39,40 39But it is your custom that I release one [prisoner] for you at the Passover. So shall I release for you the King of the Jews? 40Then they all shouted back again, Not Him [not this Man], but Barabbas! Now Barabbas was a robber. Me: So by comparing these four accounts of Barabbas' crimes, we get a picture of who it is that Barabbas is a type, and shadow of! Barabbas was: [1] A murderer [2] An insurrectionist [destroying peace - a rioter], [3] A thief [robber]! Me: So Barabbas is a type and shadow of carnal flesh [Jesus' flesh, as well as our flesh]! Jesus said, Revelation 16:15 Behold, I am going to come LIKE A THIEF! And then He said again, John 10:10 The THIEF [the flesh of man] comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I [the Christ in Jesus] came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). Me: How do I equate those statements as talking about the flesh of Jesus [as well as our flesh]? That's easy - Jesus Christ was the Spirit of Christ, dwelling in sinful flesh - AND SO ARE WE! It is written, "He [Christ] put on sinful flesh [Jesus]!" Me: You see, since Jesus [the man Christ first appeared in] was meant to serve as a prototype of how Christ's glory would eventually be revealed in us [at His second appearing], as well as being an allegorical picture of the sinful nature that is in us - then it goes to show that this good and evil analogy is speaking about us, too [it is revealing to us, that we, like Jesus, are also part man AND part God - just like He was]! It shows us that Jesus was made like unto us IN EVERY WAY [He murdered, stole, and destroyed the life of others - just as we do], and because that same evil carnal nature of sin that was present in Jesus is now present in our flesh, it isn't hard to figure out that we will also be crucified right along with Him! But you know what else? WE WILL BE RAISED WITH HIM, ALSO! It is written, "I am crucified with Christ; it is not I that lives [my flesh wrapping], but Christ Who lives within me!" And again, "Take up your cross and follow me." Me: But what is even more important to know, is that just as the death of Jesus is at work in our bodily members, so, too, is the life of Christ at work in us, ALSO! Folks, the leavened bread [man's carnal thinking and reasoning] in the holy place, is stored in the same Temple [our body] with the unleavened Bread, in the Ark of the Covenant - which rests in the Holy of Holies [the mind of Christ]! Bitter water and sweet water are flowing from the same fountain, and brothers, THIS ISN'T GOING TO CONTINUE! So, the "custom" of the age of Pentecost, was to have one prisoner released to them at the Feast. They chose a murderer [Jesus' flesh - a picture of their own carnality], and crucified the Lord of Glory [The Christ in His many membered body]. Why? Because It is better that One die [the overcomers die daily, and are transformed], than for all of creation to perish [Barabbas' release is allegorical of how all men will be released from sin because of the death of the overcomers]! Look again at what Jesus said about His carnal, sinful flesh [in more detail]. He is not only speaking about His own carnal shell in this passage, but also about the carnal flesh of every person whom He came to serve as an example for! Here is Jesus' three-fold description of the body of sin: [1] A murderer - John 8:44 44You are of your father, the devil, and it is your will to practice the lusts and gratify the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning [Jesus said, "I AM the BEGINNING!"] and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a falsehood, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar [himself] and the father of lies and of all that is false. [2] An insurrectionist - Matthew 10:34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I HAVE NOT COME TO BRING PEACE, BUT A SWORD. [3] A thief - Revelation 16:15 Behold, I am going to come LIKE A THIEF! Blessed (happy, to be envied) is he who stays awake (alert) and who guards his clothes, so that he may not be naked and [have the shame of being] seen exposed! Once again - John 10:10 The thief [the flesh of man; whether it be Jesus or any other man] comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I [the Christ in Jesus] came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). Me: Barabbas represents the carnal flesh of Jesus, [a prototype of our sinful body], as well as the man of sin in each one of us, whereas, Christ [when before Pilate] represents the Christ in Jesus [as well as in us]. So by not crucifying the flesh of Jesus [Barabbas], but instead, worshiping the sinful flesh of Jesus as God, the religious people have forfeited their birthright [had it stolen by their idol worship of Jesus]! Furthermore, by not seeing themselves as Jesus' equal [by not recognizing Him as their forerunner/prototype], the church has forfeited the grace that God had always desired for them to possess - THE GLORIFIED BODY - THE VESSELS OF CHRIST! They thought Jesus came to suffer FOR them, and in doing so, they completely missed the real truth: That Jesus came to show them what THEY, THEMSELVES, WERE GOING TO SUFFER, in order to obtain the purity that was necessary for them to qualify for entry into the kingdom of God]! It is written, Revelation 3:18 Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see. Me: The age of Pentecost exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped the created "idols" of man's flesh, instead of Him who created all things - God Almighty! As it is written in Jonah, "Those who worship vain idols, forfeit the grace that could have been theirs." Me: Secondly, in their partaking of the leavened bread of corruption [their worshiping the flesh of Jesus as a "good" deity] the church of Saul caused the death "mindset" to reign supreme in the world during the age of Pentecost [That age was 2,000 year long: A.D. 33 - A.D. 1993]! AND OH HOW DARK THAT NIGHT HAS BEEN! LOOK AT THE CONDITION OF THIS PRESENT WORLD! IT IS IN SHAMBLES! As a matter of fact; you can trace back any single problem happening in the world today, and when you get to the root cause of it, the false doctrines of men are always what is responsible for causing that dilemma's origin! However; this curse happened according to the law, because it was part of God's plan to put a lying spirit into the mouths of the false prophets, which then caused the priests of Pentecost to teach the people false doctrines [doctrines which the law had previously warned them about], and because of this leaven, the church deified a man in place of God [worshiped the golden calf: Jesus]. As a result of this idolatry; the people ate the Lord's supper unworthily, by not discerning the body of the Lord Christ in His true form - AS HIS SECOND, AND GREATER COMING IN GOD'S ELECT CHILDREN! As it is written, 50... It is expedient and better for your own welfare that one man should die on behalf of the people than that the whole nation should perish (be destroyed, ruined). 51Now he [Caiaphas] did not say this simply of his own accord [he was not self-moved]; but being the high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was to die for the nation, 52And not only for the nation but also for the purpose of uniting into one body [loaf] the children of God who have been scattered far and wide. Me: Here's a good analogy of that last passage: The Seed of a fig tree does not go into the ground just to bring forth fruit, but also to unite the many branches who will produce that life! For we are all of that one loaf, and the same blood of Christ that was flowing through Jesus' veins, is coursing through our veins right now! In other words: The Christ in Jesus was with the Father before the world began, and that same Christ in us was also with the Father beforehand. Christ put on sinful flesh [the flesh of Jesus], and likewise; we have also put on sinful flesh. Jesus stated that He wasn't good, but that only the Father alone was good, and likewise; we know that nothing good dwells within us [that is in our flesh] . Frankly, it is the religious idea [leaven] that says, "Jesus is GREATER than us", which has caused the creation to think they are inferior to Him [or not the same species as Him]. But the bible tells us a different story... Scripture tells us that, "WE ARE FLESH OF HIS FLESH, AND BONE OF HIS BONE", and that "AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD!" Scripture tells us that, "WE ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS", and that, "WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST!" Me: So why did the church age worship Jesus as above themselves? Because just the people of Israel wanted a man-king to stand BETWEEN themselves and God, in the days of Saul, so now do men want a veil of man-flesh between themselves, and the Father! Guess who that thin veil is that separates them from their God? IT IS THEIR OWN FLESH - IT IS THEIR SELF THAT SEPARATE THEM FROM GOD! You see, guys... it is all about having to die, because to become one with the Father, is to die to ones self! When a man and a woman marry, they must give up their individuality, and become one single entity - ONE FLESH! And since there is no good in man's flesh whatsoever, then it stands to reason that flesh is not interested in "merging" with it's Creator [Spirit]! So the real hidden reason that men like to worship the flesh of Jesus is simple: IT IS AN INDIRECT, ALLEGORICAL PICTURE OF HOW THEY WORSHIP THEMSELVES! So the flesh idol that the world worships in the name of Jesus, is in reality, THEIR OWN SELF! You want to know a little secret? They don't really even love Jesus [as they pretend to before the eyes of the people]. If Jesus came walking down the isles of their churches [as the bearded middle-eastern man with sandals they are claiming to be waiting for], they would either call the Police on Him [as being a vagrant, or an impostor], OR THEY WOULD BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE FELLOWSHIP HALL! I'll say it again [for good measure]: The flesh idol whom the world worships in the guise of being the historical Jesus, is in reality, THEIR OWN SELF! That means that if Jesus' flesh is cursed [and Jesus' flesh is just an allegorical picture of their own flesh], THEN THEIR FLESH IS CURSED TOO! The scripture clearly says, "Cursed is every one [flesh man] WHO HANGS ON A TREE [ that includes Jesus' flesh, as well as ours]!" Me: No wonder they aren't going to let go of that mantle [the leavened doctrine of worshiping Jesus' flesh] - IT IS A PICTURE OF THEIR FLESH, AND IF IT TEARS IN TWO, THEN THEY WILL CEASE TO EXIST AS AN INDIVIDUAL - THEY WILL DIE! Folks, anyone with a lick of sense, ought to know that if something has a curse from God put on it, that it would be a good idea NOT to worship it! If God doesn't like us idolizing the flesh of Jesus, and has placed a curse on those who worship Him as a Deity, THEN HOW MUCH MORE WILL GOD DESPISE, AND CURSE ANY PERSON WHO WORSHIPS, AND IDOLIZES THEIR OWN FLESH [which flesh Jesus was only an allegory, and pattern of]?! Christ Jesus became accursed for us [by the act of putting on that flesh body, and then putting it off again]; not so He could be worshiped as a god by creation, but because He loved us, and wanted us to clearly understand what we were going to have to suffer in this world, if we were going to inherit eternal life! After all, God had a grand purpose in mind for us, when He sent Jesus into the world. God sent Jesus into the world to be a sign; a sign that pointed us towards the understanding of His purpose for the consummation of the age! Little did we know, that Christ entered into Jesus, and died in His flesh, so that God could then raise Him into a many membered body of overcomers, and that through them, He would save the uttermost parts of the earth! Let me show you a metaphor: The Creator of all caterpillars came into the world - AS a caterpillar. He entered into a cocoon, and then emerged from His sleep as a butterfly! He did not come into the form of either the caterpillar, or the butterfly, with the intent of being worshiped by the other caterpillars. No; He came in those forms simply because He loved the caterpillars, and desired for them to understand that they too were to become butterflies.The very process of His creation becoming a butterfly, was all the praise that the Creator needed! bb

BEHOLD.....I come as a thief in the night..........
The two natures of Christ.... "One of the criminals who were hanged {there} was hurling abuse at Him, saying, "Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!" "But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? ""And we indeed {are suffering} justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." "And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" "And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." Translators have just about turned the Spiritual Words of God into natural meanings..thank God for His Son's Spirit to reveal His Word to us who love Him..... ""And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" The Thief was really saying, "Christ, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!" And here he meant, "but this Christ has done nothing wrong." This Jesus hanging on the Cross had two natures....one of accusation, one of humility.......guess which one God raised.....Star |

Part 15 [A Blessed Poem of Thankfulness and Selah Pause to God, For Revealing Himself to His Chosen (When the World said, "Where is the Promise of His
Coming?")]
Unravel sweet truth - reveal yourself! Sparkles fill my mind, New lands discovered, New treasures unearthed, New finds; Be birthed! Veils are rent, Doors are opened, Doves are sent, Minds are opened, Ordained? Repent! That is My commandment! Here it comes! Blessing showers of livers, Like quail, and manna, falling from the sky, and landing in a golden box, That which healed, Has been concealed! Come out, come out wherever you are! Water seeking its own level, transforming into wine, Clear rivers of life, turning into blood sanctuaries for the wild beasts [symbolic of those who are wandering in the wilderness]! Like a flood! Nothing is made clean without blood, No covenant is ratified without it being shed, Creation holds its breath, Cool Shiloh has finally arrived, Raising the dead! The dust settles under God's finger, Where the cracked earth yearns in thirst for moisture, Here comes the rain! Gushing! Their captivity ends, The long dark night of birthing pain, Hushing... Love settles in like a slow rain, Permeating every living thing! That which hid in the womb is revealed Show yourselves, you guardians of wisdom~ You who ARE a prayer, Who continually have grudges held against you! Thought messengers and angel servants sealed; Whose very words cause tumult in the hills, And earthquakes in the sea blue! Reverse the curse! Put your key in the abyss of hell [symbolic of Christ in the abyss of carnal man], Open the locked minds of deep sadness! Shine, O light of dawn! Ring, you priestly bells! You El even, You crown of Stephen, you! You slaves of the many, You few...

Thus says the Lord,
Father, Let those who would try to thwart this message, Whether through word, or thought, or attitude, or deed, Who would persecute and pierce those who preach it, Who would malign them before Israel, Who would taunt them, and threaten them, or make accusation against them, Who would abandon them, or leave them to bleed to death by the side of the road, Who would accept man's traditions, instead of this truth, Who would erase, or ban these words from their presence, Who would alter, or change this edict, Who would ignore these messengers, and cleave to false doctrines, Who would think they could be neutral, and ride the fence between the truth, and falsity, in order to not suffer with God's people, and yet, still try to enter in with those who did suffer, Who would correct the anointed of God, or chastise them, Who would lie in the end, and say they didn't... Anyone who has done any of these horrid acts - let them be cursed! Let a curse be upon them, and upon their children. I have said it many times on this forum: I am NOT looking for any fair weather friends... I have had them surrounding me my whole life! I would rather have 2 or 3 true friends, who would love me, and stand with me [when the mob is throwing rocks at me], then 10,000 acquaintances, who would simply abandon me [when the darkness came], and act like they didn't know me. If you are one of those 10,000, THEN HIT THE ROAD! LET ME SHOW YOU THE EXIT! I will not take any lip from you Pentecost ministers, so keep your trap shut! Your day is over, your age is over, your time is over, and your watered down soggy leavened bread is molded. Your money perish with you! You people who are secretly reading these writings, but who are ashamed of me, and the Gospel I teach; you are spitting in the wind, and harming your own self. It would be better for you to go to those who think like you, and commune with them, because you will not reject My anointed, and then think you can gain My approval separately from them! bb speaking: Guys, I have no idea why I prophesied this, but obviously there is a reason the Spirit spoke it forth! Whoever this Word is speaking to; if I were you; I would listen! Of course, it isn't the persons themselves that God is cursing, but rather, the natures within those persons that God hates! Still, God's anger is kindled, and it is for some good reason that it is! I call down fire into the heavens of these carnal natures, which dwell in these people! Bless them, Father!

And just another note: I am not speaking to those of you who quietly read here, and yet, do not post much. That prophecy is NOT directed at you. I am talking
to those who commune with my accusers at night [the vultures], and then jump the fence to come eat breakfast with the eagles in the morning! bb

Part 16 [The 30 Pieces of Silver]
Psalm 2:1 Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Me: The answer?
Because the church's idol worship of Jesus' man-flesh caused the nations to hate the Christ in the second form he appeared in - as the many membered Messiah! Then the Psalmist continues in Psalm 2,
Kiss the son [Joseph], lest he be angry!
Me: The religious age of Pentecost [the church of the Judas/Jesus company] received the many membered Christ with a kiss [represented by how the pharisees came as Satan - God in the adversarial mode], and in the guise of that angel of light, proceeded to kill them. The priests of Pentecost hated the "Melchi-Zadok" priesthood order [of the House of Joseph], because they loved the honour and praises of men, and coveted the tithes and offerings they received from the people during the church age. They simply did not want to relinquish their choice positions of authority to the new order, and they were willing to commit murder, in order to retain it! As it is written, Luke 22:47,48
And while He was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas [a symbolic of Jesus' flesh], one of the Twelve [apostles], was going before [leading] them. He drew near to Jesus [symbolic of the many membered Christ] to kiss Him, but the many membered Christ said to him, Jesus! Would you betray and deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss? And again in the Gospels,
Mark 14:10 Then Judas Iscariot [symbolic of Jesus' flesh; means: He will be praised; he will be hired; man of the cities], who was one of the Twelve apostles [the firstborn among many brethren], went off to the chief priests in order to betray and hand Him [Christ] over to them.
Me: Let me tell you guys something: The kiss of Judas [the false doctrinal teachings, false love, and wicked idolatry of the church of
Pentecost] was the KISS OF DEATH to creation! Judas [symbolic of the idolatry of Jesus' flesh] led the pharisee church of Pentecost, to hate, reject, and
kill the many membered body, because their religious worship of Jesus' flesh, worked as a stumbling stone to trip them up. Because the church believed this
lie, they then refused to listen to the anointed voice of reason, and as a consequence of their horrid actions, they pulled the whole world under, to drown
right along with them - straight into the abyss of their self-reliant, will-worshiping, corrupted, leavened hell! Look at these scriptures in Matthew 27. I
have replaced the proper names with their hieroglyphic meanings,
Matthew 27:3-10 3When Jesus, their betrayer, saw that the many membered Christ was condemned, [Jesus was afflicted in mind and troubled for his former folly; and with remorse - with little more than a selfish dread of the consequences] he brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
Me: Remember what Jesus said in the garden?
"My soul is exceedingly sorrowful unto death!"
Me: Now we know why Jesus was sorrowful - He knew that He would cause the tribes of Israel to despise, and reject the Christ in His many membered body - 2,000 years later [at His second appearing]! Verse 4,
4Saying, I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. They replied, What is that to us? See to that yourself.
Me: Now we know why Jesus said this,
"Why do you call me good; there is NOONE GOOD [none without sin], except God Himself".
Me: WOW! This is showing us what the 30 pieces of silver represent! As payment for his part in this ministry; God rewarded Judas [a type of the man: Jesus] 30 pieces of silver. Silver always represents redemption, and 30 is the number of full maturity in Christ, so the 30 pieces of silver represent the many membered sons of God, who God would give as payment to Judas [a type of the man: Jesus], so that through them, He could save the world [buy the field of blood]! It is written,
Hebrews 2:12-14 12For He says, I will declare Your [the Father's] name to My brethren; in the midst of the [worshiping] congregation I will sing hymns of praise to You. 13And again He says, My trust and assured reliance and confident hope shall be fixed in Him. And yet again, Here I am, I and the children whom God has given Me. 14Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [carnal nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death--that is, the devil [the carnal mind]-
Me: Jesus [the allegorical Judas] received His just inheritance [He entered us - the holy place in God's true Temple], so that we could now receive our inheritance: THE RECONCILIATION OF THE WHOLE WORLD BACK TO GOD! As it is written,
Romans 11:15 For if their [the age of Pentecost's] rejection and exclusion from the benefits of salvation were [overruled] for the reconciliation of a entire world to God, what will their acceptance and admission mean? [It will be nothing short of] life from the dead!
And again,
Ephesians 1:18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones)
Me: That is why Judas [a type of the man: Jesus] brought the silver pieces [many membered] BACK TO THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE AGE OF PENTECOST! Look at the next scripture passages, and this is clearly seen in the spiritual, heiroglyphic meanings of these verses.
5And casting the pieces of silver [forward] into the [Holy Place of the sanctuary of the] temple, he departed; and he went off and hanged himself.
Me: PAY IT FORWARD! Look at where Judas [a type of the man: Jesus] cast us - the thirty pieces of silver]? He cast us into the HOLY PLACE [Christ]! Remember, again, why Jesus said He had to "go away"?
"I go to prepare a place for you; that where I am; there will you be also!"
Me: And what did Jesus do right after He said those Words?
HE DEPARTED [from His earthy body], AND HUNG HIMSELF ON THE CROSS!
Remember what Jesus told the disciples:
"No man takes My life, BUT I LAY IT DOWN OF MY OWN ACCORD!"
Me: Jesus hung Himself, folks! No man took His life; He laid it down, and only He could take it up again! By crucifying the body of
Jesus' sinful flesh; Christ departed from the earthy plain [was no longer in the world], AND ENTERED INTO US - THE HOLY PLACE OF GOD'S SANCTUARY,
CARRYING IN HIS POCKET, THE REDEMPTION COINS THAT WOULD BUY THE POTTER'S FIELD [THESE COINS REPRESENTS US, THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD, WHO WOULD CARRY THE
BLOOD OF THE COVENANT INTO THE HOLY PLACE, CLEANSE THE VESSELS, AND ARTICLES OF THE TEMPLE, AND RECONCILE THE PURCHASED POSSESSION OF GOD'S WORLD (THE
POTTER'S FIELD) BACK UNTO HIMSELF]!
Whose inscription is written on those silver coins? Heh heh heh! Why the inscription of the severed ones [Caesar means: Severed], the Messiah coinage that was found in the mouth of the fish [flesh]! Verse 6, 6But the chief priests [church age of Pentecost], picking up the pieces of silver, said, It is not legal to put these in the [consecrated] treasury, for it is the price of blood. Me: This signifies how the age of Pentecost [the scribes and pharisees] had no place in the treasury of their wicked hearts, for the silver coins [wisdom] of the elect remnant! Jesus said it best, when He informed the Pharisees: "My Word has NO PLACE IN YOU"! There inner storehouse was full of greed, and lies! It is written, Matthew 12:35
The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things. And again, And they [the elect remnant] shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar TREASURE). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him. And again, In Him [Christ] all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden. Me: Guys, where the heart of Christ is [IN US], there will our treasure [of God's wisdom] be, also! We possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves. Anything else that is stored up in us is utterly worthless [the natural treasures of lust, selfishness, ambition, and greed], and these fleeting, temporal things will be sold, and the money [the power, and dominion] will be given to the POOR! Do you guys remember who the poor are? Sure you do! We just studied about them in the last couple of chapters of this epistle! The
"POOR" represents God's elect remnant; the multi-membered meek servants of Christs second appearing, who are going to INHERIT THE EARTH, and be
with us ALWAYS [they're immortal, you know]! These are the POOR IN SPIRIT, WHO ARE GOING TO SEE GOD [AS HE IS], AND "AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS
WORLD"! God's elect remnant see God in all things, both the good things, and the evil things! Sell what you possess and give to the poor [God's many membered elect Christ]; provide yourselves with purses and handbags [symbolic
of new silver coin holding "bodies"] that DO NOT GROW OLD, an unfailing and inexhaustible treasure in the heavens [the wisdom of the new age of
Tabernacles], where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
Me: Do you guys want to guess who the thief represents in that last scripture, Israel? I bet you already know, don't you? Sure you do! THE THIEF IS JESUS [just like we have been studying He is]! You want to know what the treasure is that the idolaters of Jesus' flesh, [the church of Pentecost] can't come near to? Want to know what wisdom will give you the incorruptible body? Want to know what the purse is that no moth [mother creation/church] or rust [rUSt] can deteriorate? LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THAT TREASURE IS: IT IS THE WISDOM OF THE MANY MEMBERED CHRIST, AND IT IS HIDDEN IN THE TREASURY OF THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS - THE TRUE TEMPLE OF GOD! THAT PURSE IS THE GLORIFIED BODY, WHICH IS THE ONLY HANDBAG THAT IS QUALIFIED TO HOLD THE HIDDEN COINS OF THE SILVER REDEMPTION WORD OF RECONCILIATION - THE MANY MEMBERED CHRIST! Now I know why Jesus spoke two different commandments when he sent His disciples out to minister unto creation! The first time He told them this: Luke 10:3-5 3Go your way; behold, I send you out like lambs into the midst of wolves. 4Carry no purse, no provisions bag, no [change of] sandals; refrain from [retarding your journey by] saluting and wishing anyone well along the way. Me: But then Jesus later tells them, Luke 22:35
35And He said to them, When I sent you out with no purse or [provision] bag or sandals, did you lack anything? They answered, Nothing! 36Then He said to them, But now let him who has a purse take it, and also [his provision] bag; and let him who has no sword sell his mantle [flesh veil] and buy a sword [the Word of the Spirit]. Me: Do you know what this signifies? It signifies how we cannot put the coins of the silver redemption of mankind in our old [carnal] purse of flesh! You can't put new wine in old wine skins! Jesus was speaking about how we would need a NEW PURSE [one that did not grow old], in order to have the capacity to deliver creation! THAT PURSE CAN ONLY COME TO US BY TEARING THE MANTLE OF OUR OLD FLESH PURSE, WITH THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT! THIS IS THE LINEN GARMENT OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD; THE WHITE RAIMENT OF THE GLORIFIED BODY, WHICH IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS!
AND NO IDOLATER, OR PROSTITUTE, OR WITCH, OR PENTECOSTAL EVANGELIST, OR PSYCHIC, OR JUDAO-CHRISTIAN BLOWHARD, OR NEW AGE GURU, OR
PALM-READER, OR SOOTHSAYER, OR FAITH HEALER, OR SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER, OR TASTE NOT-TOUCH NOT-HANDLE NOT TOT, OR CHURCH PASTOR, OR SWINDLER, OR MONEY MONGER,
OR YOUTH DIRECTOR, OR CLERGY, OR TAROT CARD READER, OR ASTROLOGER, OR POLITICIAN, OR DISRAELITE, OR GENTILE, OR CHRISTIAN ZIONIST, OR NEW WORLD ORDER IS GOING
TO TAKE THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM THEM! NO ONE WILL TAKE THE SCEPTER FROM JOSEPH, AND NO ONE WILL REMOVE HIM FROM THE PALM OF THE FATHER'S HAND [THE HOLLOW
PLACE OF REST, JOY COMFORT, AND HAPPINESS]! FOR MY SON WAS LOST IN THE WORLD, BUT NOW HE IS FOUND, AND HE WILL NEVER LEAVE THE BLESSED CITY OF THE NEW
JERUSALEM AGAIN! THIS IS MY DECREE CONCERNING THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH: ALL OF HIS BROTHERS SHALL FIND REST IN HIM, AND HE SHALL RULE OVER THEM WITH FAIRNESS, AND
JUSTICE. THIS IS THE TRIBE OF JOSEPH'S BIRTHRIGHT, AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THEIR BIRTHRIGHT; SINCE THE DAYS OF OLD [BEFORE THE VERY DAWN OF GOD'S
CREATION]! THE KINGDOM, AND DOMINION, AND POWER, AND GLORY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD [IN THE AGE OF TABERNACLES], AND THEY SHALL BE
GLORIFIED IN THE MIDST OF THE PEOPLES! THEN THERE SHALL BE A HUSH COME OVER ALL CREATION, AND GOD'S PEOPLE SHALL FINALLY FIND PEACE AND REST IN ZION! Last
verses,
7So after consultation they [the priests] bought with them [the pieces of silver] the potter's field [God's world], as a place in which to bury strangers. 8Therefore that piece of ground has been called the Field of Blood to the present day. Me: We are the silver coins that are purchasing the Promised Land [the glorified body]; the land which Jesus purchased [as the down payment [the tenth tithe] with His blood. The Christ [the stranger] that has been buried in our land [in our bodies], has caused us to be strangers in the world, also; so, although we are IN the world; we are not OF the world! Yes sir; we are the inheritance that Jesus received from the Father; the interest payment that Jesus received for laying down His life for His chosen [those God had given Him out of the world]. Likewise; now the elect remnant of the many membered Christ are going to pay the price that is still lacking, in order for God to take possession of the rest of His creation! As Paul wrote, "We must fill up that which is lacking - that is in Christ's afflictions."
Me: Since Christ Jesus laid down His life for us, His brethren, so also ought we to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If God first loved us, then we must all, likewise, love our brothers and sisters! As it is written, 1 John 4:20
If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother - he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen. Me: Verses 9 & 10,
9Then were fulfilled the words spoken by Jeremiah the prophet when he said, And they took the thirty pieces of
silver, the price of Him [Jesus] on Whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel [the many membered Christ].
10And they gave them for the potter's field [God's world], as the Lord directed me. bb

Part 17 [Gethsemane Christ-mas]
Have I offended anybody? I SURE HOPE SO! Because from looking at the condition of this world [which has been following the age of Pentecost's same old dead religious system now for 2,000 years]; I WOULD SAY THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO OFFEND YOU [SLAP YOUR FACE, AND WAKE YOU UP]! Here... have a cup of spiritual coffee, maybe it will open up those drug induced eyes, and snapple you out of that sleepy religious stupor! The opiate of Judao-Christian, Zionist propaganda has blinded your spiritual insight! Who in the world could EVER continue to cling to a gospel that has led the world into our present circumstances? Boy, talk about ignorant and stubborn people! When will the people to realize they have been duped, and that everything they were taught is a big, fat lie? A big (((((((sigh))))))) God opening their eyes... that's what it will take. Right after I wrote this post; I flipped over to my computer bible, and opened up right to this scripture page. I have replaced the proper names with their hieroglyphic meanings. First; I will do a short interpretation outline of what these passages are saying [a simple version]. The scripture here is the account of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane [Matthew 26:36-50], and it is a beautiful, miniature picture of the order of Christ's two appearances to the world! I have started this teaching with a basic simple interpretation, so that you guys can get a basic grasp on the concept I am putting forth here, and then afterward; I will post the same verses again, and we will look at this a second time - IN DEPTH [we'll pick the proverbial bone, so to speak]! Here we go: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew 26:36-50 36Then the many membered Christ went with them to a place called "the oil press place" [Gethsemane],
and He told His disciples, Sit down here while I go over yonder and pray.
37And taking with Him a stone and the two sons endowed of Jehovah [the two appearings of Christ]; He began to show grief and distress of mind and was deeply depressed. 38Then He [Christ at His first appearing in Jesus] said to them, My soul is very sad and deeply grieved, so that
I am almost dying of sorrow. Stay here and keep awake and keep watch with Me
39And going a little farther, He [Christ in Jesus at His crucifixion - the first veil of the temple rent] threw Himself upon the ground on His face [His blood spilled out on the earth] and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire. 40And Hecame to the disciples [Christ Jesus as the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost] and found them sleeping, and He said to the stone, What! Are you so utterly unable to stay awake and keep watch with Me for one hour? 41All of you must keep awake (give strict attention, be cautious and active) and watch and pray, that you may not come into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42Again A SECOND TIME He [Christ appearing in the elect remnant at His second appearing] went away [they decreased, and Christ increased] and prayed, My Father, if this cannot pass by unless I drink it, Your will be done. 43And again He [the matured many membered Christ] came and found them [creation] sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down with sleep. 44So, leaving them again, He [the many membered Christ's second death - the second veil of the temple rent] went away and prayed for the third time, using the same words. 45Then He [Christ appearing in the many membered body to all creation] returned to the disciples and said to them, Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of especially wicked sinners [whose way or nature it is to act in opposition to God]. 46Get up, let us be going [the resurrection and glorification of the many membered body of Christ]! See, My betrayer is at hand! [The idol worshipers of Jesus; the Pentecost church] 47As He [the many membered Christ] was still speaking, Judas [symbolizes Christ Jesus], one of the Twelve [apostles], came up, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people [this represents the church in the age of Pentecost]. 48Now the betrayer [Jesus, the man] had given them [the church of Pentecost] a sign, saying, The One I shall kiss is THE MAN; seize Him. 49And he [Jesus] came up to [the many membered Christ] at once and said, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), Master! And he embraced Him [the Christ at His second appearing] and kissed Him with warmth and devotion. 50The many membered Christ said to Jesus, Friend, for what are you here? Then they [the church of Pentecost] came up and laid hands on the many membered Christ and arrested Him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Me: Isn't that amazing?! God's entire plan, concerning Christ's two Messianic appearances [during the ages of Pentecost/Tabernacles], is summed up in a couple of wonderful, allegorical paragraphs; and God speaks this, using only the metaphoric scriptures of Jesus praying with His three disciples in the garden of Gethsemane! Simplistic innocence to the MAX! Divine complexity; and yet, even a small child could read this, and understand it! Now here are the same verses, only I went into great detail, so we could get every morsel of meat from this bone! Heh heh heh! Matthew 26:36-50 36Then the many membered Christ went with them to a place called "the oil press place" [Gethsemane],
and He told His disciples, Sit down here while I go over yonder and pray.
37And taking with Him a stone and the two sons endowed of Jehovah; He began to show grief and distress of mind and was deeply depressed. Me: This is speaking of the Christ taking the grinding stone with Him [vessels of antichrist], and grinding the
two sons endowed of Jehovah: Jesus - His first appearing, and the many membered elect remnant: His last appearing. Notice what the Christ's state of mind
is, when He is dashing His feet against the stone of adversity - it is grief, and distress of mind; deep depression. Anyone who wants the glorified body, must
suffer these things in this world. Verse 38,
38Then He [Christ at His first appearing in Jesus] said to them, My soul is very sad and deeply grieved, so that
I am almost dying of sorrow. Stay here and keep awake and keep watch with Me
39And going a little farther, He [Christ in Jesus at His crucifixion - the first veil of the temple rent] threw Himself upon the ground on His face [His blood spilled out on the earth] and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire. Me: Remember, eating the bread of the Lord's body is symbolic of INPUTTING God's Word into one's
self, whereas, drinking the cup of the wine of His blood is symbolic of OUTPUTTING God's Word to others, by teaching and living in God's Word [as an
example to others]. It is not the hearers [the BREAD EATERS = INPUT] who will inherit immortality, but rather, those who listen to to the Word, and DO IT [the
WINE DRINKERS = OUTPUT] who will ultimately inherit life eternal [THUS POURING OUT THE WINE OF THE PROMISE TO OTHERS]! As it is written in James,
James 1:22
Me: Wonderful stuff! So, when Jesus said, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire", here is what He was actually saying: Jesus was not necessarily speaking of His desire to avoid the death that He was having to die [as religion has taught us], but rather, HE WAS REALLY SPEAKING ABOUT HOW THAT BY HIS PUTTING OFF OF THE "OLD MAN" - THE VEILED MANTLE OF HIS TERRESTRIAL FLESH [RENTING IT IN TWO], AND THEN BY POURING OUT THE WINE OF THE "CUP" OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST ONTO THE PARCHED, DRY EARTH OF HUMANITY [SPILLING HIS INNARDS ON ALL MEN]; HE WOULD, EFFECTIVELY, BE DRINKING THE LORD'S SUPPER IN A HOLY MANNER, AND PASSING THE CUP OF ETERNAL LIFE TO GOD'S CREATION! Since the drinking of the wine is symbolic of us living in God's Word by example, and teaching men to do so, then it is not too hard for us to gather, and understand the hieroglyphic meaning of the phrase: "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me", as being a metaphoric request by Jesus, asking the Father to spill the earnest of the Spirit He held within Himself, and to share it [as His full inheritance] with the rest of God's creation [passing it away from Himself = OUTPUT to us]! Hmmm... that Jesus... always thinking
about others above Himself...
Thank you, Father! Hallelujah!
Little ones, Isn't that the image we want of
Christ Jesus? Not as a historical, human form, complete with beard and sandals [walking the shores of Galilee], but rather, as the sublime i-MAGI-nation of
"any man"; a nameless, faceless, selfless, and frail soul [just like us] - a John Doe, if you will; the guy next door; who loves others as He loves
God, and treats His neighbor as He, Himself, would like to be treated! And if this image of Jesus has to have a familiar human face [with familiar features],
then let it be the face you look at in the mirror; or let it be the face of your children, or your wife, or some stranger on the street, or the gardener, or
even your enemy! You see; the truth is, guys... those are the only faces that Jesus has anymore, or [for that matter] the only faces He EVER HAD, or will EVER
HAVE AGAIN! So, it might be a good idea for us to start looking for Christ Jesus as HE IS NOW [behind those human masks], so as to not be found looking for Him
as we once thought HE WAS [as some handsome, historical man]! Because frankly, folks... what Jesus was once, is NOT the true reality of what we thought He was
[a sinless perfect person], and even more importantly; what Jesus actually once was [a sinner just like you and I], is definitely not what HE IS now [a life
giving Spirit]! Let us see the truth of Jesus as HE IS, and let us toss away those vain, idolatrous, graven images [we have had of Him] to the wind...
That new kind of thinking, my dear
friends, is what it TRULY means to partake of the Lord's supper in a holy, and trustworthy manner. Believe you me; when the Lord sees a soul thinking along
these lines [streaming these life-giving thoughts]; it is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR unto Him! I can guarantee it! After all... if you had been a single seed at one
time, who had given up your life, in order to become a giant tree of life, would you want people to see you as the tiny seed you once were, or would you want
them to see you as the mighty tree you had become?
So... am I saying that you all need to take down the picture of Jesus that hangs up in your dining room, or the fellowship hall of your church? Do you need to remove the photo of Him out of your wallet? That's up to you... "To the
pure, all things are pure", but between you, and me; I, personally, don't have a problem with it.
However; there is one place where Jesus' graven image hangs, and in that place, the picture does need to be removed, because it DOES matter to the Father! Do you want to know where that idolatrous picture hangs? I'll tell you where that graven image hangs:
RIGHT BETWEEN YOUR EARS, ISRAEL! It is the graven man-image THAT IS EMBROIDERED INTO THE VEIL OF YOUR CARNAL MIND, AND THAT VEIL IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE TORN IN TWO [MADE TWAIN BY THE SWORD OF GOD'S SPIRIT]! Thus says the Lord, "The idolatrous picture of the golden calf is NOW hanging between the two Cherubim
of glory [above the mercy seat] - RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD [MEN'S HEARTS AND MINDS]! That abomination, which has caused the desolation
of the entire world, HAS GOT TO COME DOWN! EVERY EVIL TATTOO IMAGE OF THE MAN-FLESH MANTLE OF JESUS, HAS BEEN ENGRAVED WITH A PERMANENT, VULGAR, AND INCESTUOUS
MARK, ON THE INNER WALLS OF THE HOLY PLACE [AS WELL AS IN THE OUTER TEMPLE COURTS], AND THIS MARK IS AN IDOLATROUS ABOMINATION UNTO ME!"
"These creeping things, and unclean images are as mold, or leprosy,
which has infested the walls of My House, and this House must be torn down, and replaced with a new one! The seers of [old] Jerusalem are as good as dead
[because of this plague], as for the prophets of Shiloh; I have put them to death by the Sword! I have broken their beams asunder, and burnt them on the fiery
altar of My indignation!", says the Lord.
"I will consume them", says the Lord, "But bring out the pillars that I have prepared for my NEW HOUSE; THE BEAMS OF CEDAR WHICH I HEWED OUT OF THE CEDARS OF LEBANON [means: Whiteness], FOR MY HOLY HABITATION [IN THE NEW JERUSALEM]!" Me: Whoaaaaa! Prophesy, thou Christ! Who is it that smites you? Heh heh heh! Next verse,
40And He came to the disciples [Christ Jesus as the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost] and found them sleeping, and He said to the stone, What! Are you so utterly unable to stay awake and keep watch with Me for one hour? 41All of you must keep awake (give strict attention, be cautious and active) and watch and pray, that you may not come into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Me: Verse 41 represents the end of the first appearing of Christ [in the man: Jesus]; now for the second
appearing! On to verse 42. LOOK AT THAT! GUESS WHAT NUMBER THE VERSE IS, THAT BEGINS THE ACCOUNT OF CHRIST'S SECOND APPEARING [IN HIS MANY MEMBERED BODY]?
VERSE NUMBER 42: WHICH SYMBOLIZES THE 42ND GENERATION OF CHRIST: THE CHOSEN PRIESTHOOD OF THE ROYAL LINE OF JOSEPH! Anyway... here is verse 42,
42Again A SECOND TIME He [Christ appearing in the elect remnant at His second appearing] went away [they decreased, and Christ increased] and prayed, My Father, if this cannot pass by unless I drink it, Your will be done. 43And again He [the matured many membered Christ] came and found them [creation] sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down with sleep. 44So, leaving them again, He [the many membered Christ's second death - the second veil of the temple rent] went away and prayed for the third time, using the same words. 45Then He [Christ appearing in the many membered body to all creation] returned to the disciples and said to them, Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of especially wicked sinners [whose way or nature it is to act in opposition to God]. 46Get up, let us be going [the resurrection and glorification of the many membered body of Christ]! See, My betrayer is at hand! [The idol worshipers of Jesus; the Pentecost church] 47As He [the many membered Christ] was still speaking, Judas [symbolizes Christ Jesus], one of the Twelve [apostles], came up, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people [this represents the church in the age of Pentecost]. 48Now the betrayer [Jesus, the man] had given them [the church of Pentecost] a sign, saying, The One I shall kiss is THE MAN; seize Him. Me: Remember what the disciples asked Jesus in Matthew 24? It was a two part question [we looked at this chapter earlier in this very writing]. Here it is, again: Matthew 24:3
While He was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately and said, Tell
us,
[A] When will this take place, and what will be the sign of YOUR coming? [This is speaking of the first coming of
Christ in Jesus - the Beginning]
and [B] When will be the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age? [This is speaking of the second coming of Christ in the Joseph company - the End]. Me: Notice that when the scripture refers to the first coming of Christ in Jesus, it always mentions that He was to be a SIGN! Remember what we said a sign was? A sign is an object that shows us direction. That is exactly what Jesus was: An object that God sent ahead of us, to show us the direction that we would need to go, and to serve as a pattern of the events we would have to endure in order to get there! Look at this scripture in Luke 2 [for the second witness]. This shows us that Jesus was the sign who came to point the way to the Christ in His many membered elect remnant: Luke
2:12
Me: So the sign we are given of Jesus in the MAN-ger, is a picture of the Christ in His loosely
bound clothing [the veil of Jesus' flesh], who would later grow up to be the deliverer of Israel [Christ in His many membered form]. There is no room in
the INN[er view] for the Jesus in who was in the MAN-[ger]; the people must learn to see Jesus INN all men [make room for Him INN their INN(er) selves - as the
Tree of Life], and not idolize Him in the MAN[ger]-flesh He once was [as the veiled Christ Seed]. Back to Matthew 26:49,
49And he [Jesus] came up to [the many membered Christ] at once and said, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), Master! And he embraced Him [the Christ at His second appearing] and kissed Him with warmth and devotion. Me: Notice who calls who MASTER there! Hey, Jesus loves our appearing as the Christ, it
isn't Him Who rejected us! Jesus kissed the Master [the Father: The many membered Christ] with warm devotion, and told the age of Pentecost to SEIZE US,
not His flesh image as a single living soul man, but rather, AS HIS TRUE IMAGE - AS A MANY MEMBERED LIFE GIVING SPIRIT]! What did they do? THEY PUSHED US AWAY,
AND DID NOT OBEY THE COMMANDMENT THAT JESUS GAVE THEM [WHICH WAS TO SEIZE
US, THE MANY MEMBERED MESSIANIC BRANCH, AND HOLD ONTO US FOR DEAR LIFE]! So even though the church worships the flesh of Jesus as an idol, they do not
have any intention of keeping the commandments He gave to them to follow! No sir; it was the church age of Pentecost that held the grudge of enmity against us
- NOT JESUS! Verse 50, 50The many membered Christ said to Jesus, Friend, for what are you here? Then they [the church of Pentecost] came up and laid hands on the many membered Christ and arrested Him. Me: Gives a whole new meaning to this scripture:Psalm 41:9 Even my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted (relied on and was confident), who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. And again, Genesis 3:14,15 14And the Lord God [the many membered Christ] said to the serpent [Jesus], Because you have done this [caused the church of Pentecost to partake of the law - the symbol of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which when one eats the fruit thereof, opens their eyes, and makes them wise], you are cursed above all animals and above every [wild] living thing of the world; upon your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust [and what it contains] all the days of your life. Me: CURSED is every serpent that hangs on a tree!
15And I will put enmity between you [Jesus] and the woman, and between your offspring and her
Offspring; He will bruise and tread your head underfoot, and you will lie in wait and bruise His heel.
Compare that verse to this one again; Even my own familiar friend [Jesus], in whom I trusted (relied on and was confident), who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me [the many membered Christ]. Me: There is enmity between the two offspring of God [the two appearings of Christ]: Jesus [the leavened bread of Pentecost], and His betrayed friend, the many membered Messiah [the unleavened bread of Tabernacles], who followed Jesus into the world 2,000 years later. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, I am going to answer the question the many membered Christ asked Jesus in verse 50.

and then there was this.... http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2009/10/28/catholic-league-blasts-larry-david-curb-episode-urinates-jesus/
"Why is it that people are allowed to publicly show that level of disrespect for Christian symbols? If the same thing was done to a symbol of any other religions -- Jewish or Muslim -- there'd be a huge outcry. It's simply not a level playing field." |

Kathy,
It is my hope that noone here will ever leave this forum with the idea that I have dishonoured Jesus in any way. Just because I see the way the church of Pentecost has idolized Him, does not mean that I dishonour Him. It is actions like this one [Larry David pissing on the image of Jesus], that fuel the fire of hatred in this world, and I hope that nobody thinks that I would ever do ANYTHING to dishonour what Jesus accomplished while on the earth! My goal here is NOT to belittle Jesus; my goal here is to understand correctly, EXACTLY what Jesus came into the world to do! I have NEVER said that Jesus was NOT Christ; all I have harped on [all these years], is that Jesus was the Christ Seed, which fell into the ground and died, in order to become a greater tree! If that offends the religious people, than so be it! But... I will NEVER belittle or count Jesus as being anything but God's anointed, Who came here to be a prototype, and example for those chosen vessels who would follow. And furthermore; I do not think that the greater work of the many membered Christ could have ever been accomplished, without the act of charity that Jesus came into the world to do. The whole wheel of creation turns on His axle, and every spoke finds their way in Jesus, BUT... I WILL NEVER WORSHIP HIM IN PLACE OF GOD, AND THAT IS WHERE THE AGE OF PENTECOST, AND MYSELF PART WAYS! And as far as Larry David goes... he and his kosher, Edomite friends have a big surprise waiting for them at the end of the red rum road... I can tell you this; they are NOT mocking the Lord, because it is God Himself Who is moving those little puppets to do everything that they are doing. God sets up bowling pins, just for the sheer pleasure of knocking them down again! Father, forgive the tribe of Judah for what they have done, but do not forgive the one in them [the man of perdition] who is responsible for it! Help us to remember; it is not they who sin, but the sin dwelling in them that is doing those acts of wretchedness! Somebody had to keep watch over the money bag, until the Master of Shiloh returned to claim His kingdom [the One to Whom that kingdom has ALWAYS belonged]! bb

Bill I didn't post that because I thought anything offensive in your teaching. I just found the article interesting that being the image of Jesus the man
that is being attacked. That image has been around for a very long time and when people think of Jesus that is the picture that comes to mind for many.

Kathy,
I did not take what you said that way, kid... I just wanted it to be clear to all here what my intentions are, and where I stand on the subject. Every once in a while, though; I just need to make that point very clear. I will never hold Jesus in contempt, simply because an entire age of people worshiped him as an idol, just as I will never hold Christianity in contempt, simply because the people who have represented it since the day of Pentecost are greedy, and full of false doctrine. Alas... that is exactly why creation will not listen to the true Word of God [they see the misguided representatives of the bible (from the age of Pentecost) as being the clear, and accurate picture of what the scripture is actually saying, and because of that false assumption, they refuse the true Gospel when it is laid before them - and instead; they despise God]! THEY JUDGE THE BOOK BY IT'S COVER! Kathy, I have known all of you guys long enough now to know what your intentions are, so when I read your statements; I read them as coming from a friend, as well as from a mature Christian. You don't need to worry about that! I did not take what you said in a negative vein, and even though I did not like what Larry David did; I will still look at it with this scripture in mind: "Nothing can be done against the truth, but only FOR the truth." If God controlled the mighty king Pharaoh, then He definitely controls Larry D. [in the kingdom of Hollywood]. David will stand in front of the same Judge that we are NOW standing in front of, and just like any other soul in this world; God will reward the Christ in Him for the good things that He has done [in Larry], and punish the anti-Christ nature of sin in Him who does evil, for the evil things that He has done. This I can guarantee: Larry's status as a natural Jew will have no bearing whatsoever on the Judge's verdict. I revere, and honour your words, Kathy, so when you communicate me, you need to be at ease, and have full confidence, concerning the authority, and respect that you possess in my eyes; knowing, also, that I hold you in the highest regards, just as I am confident that you hold me in that same manner. When you can feel comfortable telling me your deepest thoughts [without fear of rejection], then you will know for sure [beyond a shadow of a doubt], that I will always receive you, and that I would continue to love you, even if you disagreed with me. So when you write to me, think of it as writing to yourself! That the communication of our faith might be effectual, by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in us, in Christ Jesus! bb

Now before I go to the next chapter of this writing; I want to answer that last question that the many membered Christ asked Jesus [Judas]:
50The many membered Christ said to him [Jesus], Friend, for what are you here? Then they [the church of Pentecost who worship the idol Jesus] came up and laid hands on the many membered Christ and arrested Him. The answer: [1] To be a prototype, which would give us, the many membered Christ, a picture of what our walk here would consist of. [2] To cause the age of Pentecost to "trip up", and effectively act as a giant "sanding stone" in God's hand, in order for Him to have the tools necessary to perfect His elect remnant. [3] To betray the many membered Christ into the hands of the religious age of Pentecost, and act as a guide Who would lead them to us. [4] To be planted as a Seed, in order to then shoot up as a tree with many branches, whose fruit would nourish all creation, who would provide lodging for the birds of the heir to build their nests in, who would provide shade during the heat of summer, and whose leaves would be for the healing of the nations! Lots, and lots more coming! I am just getting started! bb

Part 18 [The Barley, the Wheat, and the Grapes]
Guys,
Over the years, many of the kingdom teachers [including myself] have preached that the creation is about to enter the barley harvest of God, which is considered [by most] to be an allegorical picture of the first-fruits appearing of Christ in the world - through His many membered, elect remnant. Just as the feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles each represent huge dispensations of time, so also do these biblical harvests correlate with their respective feast days, to paint for us a clear, and vivid picture of how God intends to save His creation, and even more importantly, to show us the timetable, as well as the order in which He will accomplish it.
As you guys know; I have written extensively on this subject, and up until now, my teachings have [for the most part] borne witness to [and been in agreement with] MOST of the truths that many of my predecessors [from the age of Pentecost] had previously taught on this subject. Even though I had discrepancies with some of their details, for the most part; I agreed with the BASIC timetable which they had set forth as being the ages of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles.
Well, that is about to change... listen closely to what I am about to tell you.
Here is a short overview of this concept:
God ordained three ceremonial feasts/harvests for Israel [Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles], so that in the distant future, He could then use them as a hieroglyphic symbols [allegorical pictures], to show His people [the entire creation] each of the following principles:
[1] That each individual feast/harvest represents a specific "Age" [whether it be the age of Passover, Pentecost, or Tabernacles]
[2] That there was a specific purpose, and order for each age [showing what the Lord would accomplished during each of the three successive ages],
[3] And lastly, that each feast crop signified a particular soul "harvest" [ie; showing which groups of people would be
resurrected in each respective "Age"]
These are the three harvests: Barley, wheat, and grape. Me: To put it more simply: Each biblical harvest/feast represents a particular harvest of souls unto the Lord. So not only do the feasts/harvests represent the one on one spiritual process of maturity that the Holy Ghost is carrying out within each individual son of God [on a personal level], but also, that these historical events serve as allegorical types, by which we can measure the length of time it will take for God to reconcile the entire world unto Himself [as a whole]. By looking at these ceremonial feasts/harvests in the Spirit; we can better understand the purpose God had for each successive age/feast/harvest, while fully accomplishing His divine purpose in man.
Anyway, one preacher, Dr. Stephen Jones, has taught on this subject extensively over the years, so I thought I would use his writing as an example definition of what the current "view" is among the kingdom of Pentecost lot. Here is a short excerpt from his writing, entitled, "The Barley Harvest":
Overcomers are Barley
We have already dealt with Israel's three feast days and their significance on the personal level. They represent the three stages of salvation from justification to sanctification to glorification. It is now time to view the feast days from a much broader perspective. These feast days reveal the nature and scope of the resurrections from the dead. Each crop represents a different class of people. The barley, which ripens first, represents the overcomers of the first resurrection; the wheat, which ripens at Pentecost, represents the rest of the Church (i.e., believers in general); and the grapes, which are trodden down at the end of the growing season represent the unbelievers who are judged according to their works.
Me: So, here is what Stephen Jones [and most all of the rest of the kingdom teachers] are saying - in a nutshell [I am going to make this short, and simple, so you guys can get the basic picture of their present belief system]:
[1] The age of Passover is the time period prior to the death and resurrection of Jesus [the time period before the day of Pentecost, in A.D.33], and at the set time of Jesus' appearing, the AGE of Pentecost began, with the death and resurrection of Jesus marking the beginning of that age [an age which lasted 2,000 years].
[2] Then, at the end of the age of Pentecost, approximately 2,000 years later [1993 A.D.]; God would raise up His elect remnant overcomers, which would be the firstfruits "barley" harvest among the people. These people would receive the immortal body at the first resurrection, and then begin the arduous task of training of the rest of God's people during the following age - the age of Tabernacles. This "process" would last 1,000 years, beginning in A.D. 1993.
[3] Lastly, by the end of the 1,000 training year period; God would separate the people who remained into two groups:
[Group A] The wheat harvest, which is represented by the "rest of the church" [those who received Jesus as Lord, but did not overcome along with the elect at the first resurrection]; who would then receive their resurrection reward as the wheat harvest [because of their "good works"].
And
[Group B] The grape harvest, which are those who are trodden down at the end of the growing season, represented by the unbelievers, who still did not repent, at either the barley or wheat harvest, and thus, are to be judged according to their works at the "GREAT WHITE THRONE" of judgment: The final grape harvest [where all creation will FINALLY be made subject unto God's will].
Read Stephen Jones synopsis, again [above], to verify this understanding.
For years now, I have viewed this teaching as MOSTLY accurate, and have applied MOST of these basic principles and outlooks to many of my own teachings [as a Pentecostal foundation on which to build Tabernacle truths]. However; there was always a piece of this puzzle that didn't quite fit right with me [in the Spirit]. Therefore; here is what I asked the Spirit of God:
Father, why would you separate, and reward the church people separately from the world [when they had piously worshiped Jesus as an idol during the age of Pentecost], and then make the rest of creation [those who had not fallen down and worshiped the idol manflesh from Galilee] have to wait in line behind them?
That whole scenario just didn't sit well in my stomach!
Then I received His answer. About two months ago, beginning on 9-9-09 [my birthday], the Lord began to reveal quite a different picture of these spiritual things to Peter, Nick, and myself, and as this revelation unfolded, we began to realize that Stephen Jones [as well as many of the other kingdom teachers who teach these feast dispensation truths] HAD MISUNDERSTOOD SEVERAL VERY IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES PERTAINING TO THIS TRUTH! And furthermore, the Lord began to reveal to us that because of this error, Israel has been APPLYING THE WRONG FEAST/HARVEST TO THE WRONG TIME PERIOD [AGE]! What's even more stunning, is that because of this misalignment; the teachers of Pentecost have been misunderstanding which group of people will be resurrected at which chronological harvest/feast!
So, although I do bear witness to the overall prophetic premise of this teaching, and agree that this feast/harvest concept is a valid revelation from the Lord; I have found that there needs to be some corrections in the alignment of the teaching. Read on, and I will explain.
First of all, the teachers of Pentecost do not have the progression of the ages/harvests interpreted correctly. For instance; the view of
Pentecost teaches that the firstfruits barley harvest represents the resurrection of the overcomers, at the END of the age of Pentecost, which means that
according to them, the BARLEY HARVEST IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW!
THAT IS WRONG! You want to know why? You want to know how I came to that conclusion?
Because the barley harvest happened 2,000 years ago!
Now... before you pick up rocks to throw at me; let me explain! First; I'll ask this question:
If my statement is true, and the barley harvest has already come and gone, then who is the firstfruits company [the real barley harvest] that has been overlooked? Let me rephrase that question: If the barley harvest is not to be fulfilled by the elect remnant at the end of the age of Pentecost [which is right now], then who was it that fulfilled that feast/harvest of the barley firstfruits? I'll tell you who the true barley harvest was:
THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS OF THE EARLY CHURCH WERE THAT BARLEY HARVEST! Yes, that's right - THE BARLEY HARVEST HAS ALREADY COME AND GONE - OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO!
Guess what that means? It means that we are not about to have the barley harvest at all, but rather, THE WHEAT HARVEST!
And even more importantly; it also means that the apostles and prophets [as well as the early church] have been SKIPPED OVER by the kingdom priests of the age of Pentecost, and thus, HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEIR FIRSTFRUITS INHERITANCE! By calling themselves the "BARLEY HARVEST", the priests of Pentecost have effectively BYPASSED the early church apostles and prophets, and have not relegated any resurrection/harvest to them at all! THEY CALLED THEMSELVES THE BARLEY HARVEST, AND HAVE [IN EFFECT] STOLEN THE INHERITANCE THAT RIGHTFULLY BELONGED TO THE EARLY CHURCH APOSTLES AND PROPHETS!
Guess what else?
Because the priests of Pentecost did not give the early apostles and prophets [and the early church] their just inheritance as the TRUE
barley harvest, but instead, CALLED THEMSELVES THE "FIRSTFRUITS COMPANY" [ie; THE BARLEY HARVEST]; they now have two remaining harvests left on their
timetable to account for [ie; the wheat and grape harvests], and yet, they only had one group of people remaining, to allot those other two harvests to: THE
REST OF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD! That brings up another question:
If the firstfruits company is, indeed, the modern day elect remnant barley harvest [as the priests of Pentecost have told us], then who
are the remaining two groups of people, to whom we may apply the remaining two harvest resurrections [ie; the wheat, and the grape harvests]? Think about it
folks. If the firstfruits company [ie; the barley harvest] are represented by the elect remnant [which is exactly the present day priests of Pentecost are
teaching], and the barley harvest is just now being fulfilled, then that leaves us two feast harvests remaining, with only one group of people to be
resurrected: The rest of the world! After all, there are only two groups of people:
The elect, and those whom the elect have been chosen to save.
Those who approach the light, and those who are the light.
Those who are Christ, and those who are antichrist.
Houston, we have a problem!
Want to guess what those priests of Pentecost did, in order to make those extra pieces of the puzzle fit their doctrinal view? You guessed it: THEY SPLIT THE REST OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLE INTO TWO GROUPS: SINNERS, AND SAINTS - GOOD PEOPLE, AND BAD PEOPLE, AND THEN
THEY PROPOSED TO REWARD EACH OF THESE TWO GROUPS - ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS!
So guess which group the teachers of Pentecost awarded the wheat harvest to, and which group was left to be crushed in the wine vat of
God's wrath? You guessed it! The priesthood of Pentecost awarded the wheat harvest to their compadres - the church crowd, and left the grape harvest for
the rank sinners! What a great bunch those pharisees are!
That means that the "UR" kingdom people are no different then their previous counterparts, the regular church denominations of the age of Pentecost, because they did the same thing that the organized church did: THEY COUNTED MAN'S RELIGIOUS WORKS OF THE FLESH AS BEING OF WORTH, AND WANTED TO REWARD THEM ABOVE THE REST OF THE SO CALLED "SINNERS" OF THE WORLD! Notice in Jone's writing, that he even refers to the two groups as different "classes" of people!
Folks, the problem with the present feast/harvest interpretation is that the priests of Pentecost thought that the church of Jesus [those people who worshiped Jesus as an idol] would receive VIP treatment from God because of their clinging to Him [they thought that the Jesus believers would be rewarded SEPARATELY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD'S RANK SINNERS - simply for believing in Jesus]! So even though these religious zealots did NOT believe the TRUE Word of God given through the elect remnant [which was the Gospel that said, "Jesus sinned, and learned obedience, and purification THROUGH suffering, in order to be a prototype for the sons that would later follow Him"] the priests from the age of Pentecost still thought that the church people would receive a special [respect of persons] VIP resurrection - PRIOR to the rest of "sinful" creation!
HOGWASH! The reason they divided the world into two groups, is because they just couldn't figure out how to make the ONE REMAINING
GROUP OF PEOPLE fit into the two remaining harvests! They stole the inheritance from the true heirs, and then pushed [FORCED] their way through the rest of the
world [by cutting in line], and proceeded to take the higher position of the kingdom [the wheat seat] for themselves!
Guess what? They killed two birds with one stone! They split the people in two - making two harvests out of the one flock [rebuilding the hostile wall of partition that God had torn down with the crucifixion of Jesus' flesh], and gave their "tithing followers" special treatment - a special seat in the synagogue of Satan [adversity]! By doing this, they remedied their predicament [they had two remaining harvests, and only one group of people to reap them], and still managed to see themselves as spiritual elitists - just as the natural Jews whom they worship think that they are "natural elitists"! So, what did they do? They divided the whole world into two groups, and forced the remaining jig-saw puzzle piece to fit, even though the picture that the puzzle showed didn't make a lick of sense! What is even more horrid, is that in doing so; THEY STOLE CHRIST'S INHERITANCE FROM THE RIGHTFUL HEIRS! Thus says the Lord, He saw Esau - Hee haw! Hee haw! Put down your palm branches, Israel; the donkey your savior is riding into Jerusalem on is stolen!
Me: How convenient! These Pentecost pharisees manufactured two groups of people out of the one remaining populous [forcing the leftover pieces of the puzzle to fit], and in doing so, THEY REWARDED THEIR FAITHFUL MONETARY BENEFACTORS [the religious church] WITH THE GOOD NEWS THAT THEY WERE THE "ELITE" WHEAT HARVEST [and that they would enter the kingdom ahead of the riff-raff that God left over for the grape harvest]! What a great way to keep those tithes and offerings coming in! You can preach universal reconciliation to your flock, BUT STILL GIVE THEM VIP TREATMENT [RESERVED SEATING] IN HEAVEN! That's alright; they have their reward!
They are the spiritual version of the present day natural house of Judah [the natural Jews], who have caused the whole world to believe
the lie that they themselves are the ENTIRE HOUSE OF JUDAH AND ISRAEL, and they have even convinced the House of Israel to believe that they [the single tribe
of natural Judah] are the holders of the scepter and birthright of Jacob! So, these two entities [the natural Jews, and the spiritual church of Pentecost] are
performing the same function [as twin vessels of God's antichrist]! The natural Jews are usurping the birthright of the natural [NORTHERN] tribes of Israel
[the House of Joseph - Rachel's son], just as the spiritual Jews of the church of Pentecost are now usurping, and stealing the spiritual barley harvest
that belongs to the early church, and the apostles and prophets [who appeared up until the time of Jesus]! They [the natural Judah, as well as the spiritual
church] are both usurpers, and impostors, and the truth is now going to be made known about them to Christ's rightful heirs! They deserve each other,
don't they?! NO WONDER THE CHURCH LOVES THE NATION OF DISRAEL SO MUCH; THEY HAVE BECOME THE SPIRITUAL MIRROR OF THE NATURAL JEWS! That is why they both
have these attributes in common: They teach the people lies, steal their money, hold them in captivity, murder the Christ at His appearing, and then usurp
their own people's birthright!
MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO!
As I said before: They have their reward!
Yep... those two were made for each other [the natural Jews, and the church of Pentecost]!
Talk about irony... THEY [THE PRIESTS OF PENTECOST], ACTUALLY THINK THAT THE IDOL WORSHIPERS OF THE PENTECOST CHURCH WILL RECEIVE A GREATER REWARD THAN THE PUBLICANS AND SINNERS WHO WOULD NOT CLING TO THEIR TREACHEROUS IDOLATRY OF JESUS! They sound just like their twin brother counterpart: The natural tribe of Judah, who also think that they are divinely special [according to their human lineage], and will therefore receive a greater reward than the mongrel Gentiles who live around them! Natural Disrael and the church of Pentecost were a match made in heaven; were they not? Heh heh heh! That, my friends, is the piece of the puzzle that I never liked, or agreed with! It left a bad taste in my mouth!
Folks, I never taught that the church people would receive a GREATER inheritance than the rest of the world; just as I never taught that
the natural Jews were the true Israel. Nope; I NEVER bought their rotten bill of goods! I HAVE taught, and STILL DO TEACH, that God would divide His people
into different groups, in order for them to serve different purposes, and functions [in accordance with His divine plan], and that these groups would each be
given their EQUAL INHERITANCE in the end - BUT I NEVER SAW THE CHURCH PEOPLE [FROM THE AGE OF PENTECOST] AS BEING ONE OF THOSE PARTIES! Besides; God does not
see any difference between those who are religious, and those who are not - all men are sinners before Him, and God is no respecter of persons. As far as God
is concerned; there are two kinds of people: Those He has chosen, and allowed to know Him, and understand the truth, and those whom He has called to be
blinded, whom He called to believe a lie.
What a man does, or does not do, has nothing to do with determining which group he will be put in!
But the priests of Pentecost just will NOT let go of those works of the law, will they? Even so, those Pentecost church people are the very ones who rejected the Gospel of the kingdom - the Gospel which God's elect are now preaching!
Yes sir... what we have here, is the pot calling the kettle black!
That gospel stinks to high heaven!
Do you really think that God would have a group of religious people hatefully conspire against His elect, and then give those same worthless vipers entrance into His kingdom - BEFORE the rest of creation [who were simply sleeping, and had no reaction at all to the Word of truth]? THEY [the rest of creation] ARE THE TRUE INNOCENTS, BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT CLING TO THE CHURCH'S IDOLATRY! If anybody is going to be the LAST to enter the kingdom; it is going to be the religious people from the age of Pentecost! They have their reward!
The kingdom teachers sound just like the regular denominational preachers who came before them... THEY GIVE GOD'S GLORY TO THOSE WHO
THEY PERCEIVE AS DOING "GOOD WORKS", AND YET THEY FAIL TO REALIZE THAT GOD IS CONTROLLING EVERY ACTION IN ALL MEN - WHETHER IT BE GOOD, OR WHETHER IT
BE EVIL! That thinking causes "respect of persons" in men, and it is the exact reason why our world is in the horrible shape it is in today!
Isn't that what all the fuss is about in this world? One group of people thinking they are above all the others, and "elite" to the rest of their
brothers and sisters [the rest of the nations of the world]? If you boil all of the world's problems down into one lump, "elitism" is the root
cause of every problem on earth - and that elite thinking is caused by the love of money!
Sorry guys... I got distracted there, back to the subject of the misalignment of the feasts/harvests...
Now, what's even more stifling, is that the pharisee priests of Pentecost HAVE SKIPPED OVER THE FOUNDATION OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS
[THEY HAVE STOLEN THE INHERITANCE OF THE TRUE BARLEY HARVEST - ALONG WITH THE SEED OF JESUS AND THE EARLY CHURCH], AND INSTEAD, APPOINTED THEMSELVES AS ITS
LEGAL RECIPIENTS! THEY ATE THE SEED THAT WAS TO BE PLACED IN THE STOREHOUSE [THAT WAS TO BE USED FOR PLANTING THE NEXT GENERATION'S CROP]! YET, THEY HAD
THE AUDACITY TO APPOINT THE GRAPE HARVEST TO THE SINNERS! So, they left their idol Jesus out in the cold, along with the law and the prophets of the early
church, and instead, they appointed themselves as the firstfruits of the barley harvest! Then, to make matters even worse; THEY DENIED JESUS [AND THE EARLY
CHURCH] THEIR RIGHTFUL BARLEY HARVEST INHERITANCE, BUT THEN GAVE THEIR UNBELIEVING RELIGIOUS BUDDIES THE BENEFITS OF THE FEAST OF WHEAT!
THEY CHOSE FOR BARABBAS TO BE FREED, AND CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY!
Hey, if you guys will remember, it was the religious people who caused the world to disdain God in the first place. Shoot, the people who would not buy their religious witchcraft, who would not bow down to their idol [Jesus], will enter before them! And yet, here we have these teachers, saying that the idol worshipers are going to receive a GREATER inheritance then the so called SINNERS of this world!
What a crock!
By not recognizing the first-fruits apostles and prophets, who appeared up until the time of Jesus [this included the early church, who sprang up at the time just after Jesus was crucified, raised, and ascended as the Passover Lamb of the early church], the pharisees of Pentecost misaligned, and misnumbered the harvests, and in doing so, they became blinded to the fact that the barley harvest had already occurred! And as I stated before; the prophets, as well as the early church, WERE the barley harvest, because they represented the tithe of the firstfruits, and they were also the foundation on which God would later build His true temple!
Yet now, the church order of Pentecost is trying to lay themselves as the foundation, which another has already laid [Jesus, the prophets, and the early church]! As it is written,
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Me: Paul wrote extensively about the inheritance that the firstfruits [the prophets, and the early church] would receive, and how they
were the tithe that was to be placed in the storehouse, until the appointed time came, when their Word of life [the barley loaves] would be revealed, and eaten
[in time of spiritual famine]! WE, THE CHURCH OF TABERNACLES, ARE THE TRUE FULFILLMENT OF THAT STOREHOUSE, and we shall feed the multitude with the loaves that
Jesus, the early church, and the law and prophets stored up for us! As it is written,
Colossians 2:3 In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden.
And again,
Isaiah 23:18 But her gain and her hire - the profits [prophets] of Tyre's new prosperity [Tyre means: Distress], will be dedicated to the Lord [eventually]; it will not be treasured or stored up, for her gain will be used for those who dwell in the presence of the Lord [the ministers], that they may eat sufficiently and have durable and stately clothing [suitable for those who minister at God's altar].
Me: By stealing Christ's firstfruits inheritance, the kingdom teachers of Pentecost are disallowing the inheritance that the early church had gathered into the storehouse, and in effect, are trying to steal their appointed harvest. But fear not, little flock, because it is the Tabernacle ministers of Melchizedek who will realign the feasts appropriately, and they will receive the glorified body, as the fitting garment that is worthy of that office! Yet, they will NOT usurp the firstfruits company, nor will they try to steal their brethren's inheritance.
As it is written about Jesus [by the prophets of the barley harvest],
11In Him we also were made [God's] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, Who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will, 12So that we who first hoped in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him have been destined and appointed to] live for the praise of His glory! 13In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. 14That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it--to the praise of His glory.
Me: Folks, WE ARE THAT HERITAGE [the early church's crown and joy], and it is upon that rock [the foundation of Christ Jesus, as well as the law, the apostles, and the prophets] that God will build His true church. They were the cornerstone, and we are the capstone. They were the barley [early] harvest; we are the wheat harvest! Now that only leaves one more harvest to come: The grape harvest, and it is at that harvest that God will reconcile the rest of creation to Himself [through His representatives, the elect remnant]! Some are 30 fold, some 60 fold, and the rest are 100 fold! As it is written,
Hebrews 6 1THEREFORE LET us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of the faith [by which you turned] to God.
Me: Here is the irony: The very Pentecost brood who worshiped Jesus [and His apostles] as idols, and laid up gold and treasure at their feet, ARE NOW GOING TO ENTER THE SHRINE, AND STEAL THEIR IDOL'S BOOTY! They are NECROMANCERS - Sodomites who want Jesus' booty, and they wanted the treasure of their idol for themselves [to "boot"], and so they are robbing the very temple that they honour so dearly!
The barley harvest happened 2,000 years ago, and the wheat harvest is now! THAT'S RIGHT... YOU HEARD ME; THE WHEAT HARVEST IS NOW!
More coming - lots more! bb

Young Billy found the barley loaf
And took it to the storehouse Like manna for the multitude Once leavened at the whorehouse He gathered fragments that remained and placed them in a basket But kept the question in his heart Cause no one dared to ask it
