The Hope of the Return of the LORD JESUS CHRIST

THE HOPE OF THE RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

The following contains material related to signs in the earth and signs in the heavens  which relate to the return of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ’s accomplishment, the Mystery and the threshold that beckons to us as a result.  I will share some scriptures germane to the topics “signs in the earth” and “signs in the heavens”.  I will also share some observations that relate specifically to our ecology, which subject comes up often as a political football which debate is fraught with much fear mongering and religious zeal.  You will find references to Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth and my ponderings that came about as a result of my exposure to his meticulous research.  There are some other observations that I have made which relate to the evidence which is presenting related to ”what the enemy is doing in the earth” within an undisclosed agenda and how that relates to prophesies in the Bible.

When considering the Hope of Christ’s return, the prophet Joel comes to mind: Chapter 2:28  

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.  And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.  The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come.  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

When Joel lived, he was the prophet to Israel.  Israel had a hope and the hope that Israel had was one that the Passover Feast which Moses instituted pointed toward.   The Hope of Israel, at the time of this declaration of the prophet Joel, was of the coming of the promised MESSIAH.  When this day finally arrived, there was very much ado regarding the event of Jesus' birth. There was much foreshadowing in the Old Testament scripture pertaining to the coming of the Lamb of God which was John's reference to Jesus at the time of Jesus' baptism.  What was wrong with Israel, Jesus, the Messiah was going to fix.  However, Jesus mission was not just to Israel because what Jesus fixed was not just for Israel; it was for all of mankind.  It plays out like an action thriller which we are going to observe, at length, later.  God sent Jesus to Israel to be their Messiah, but Israel did not recognize him as the Messiah and they rejected him as their King and, instead, had him put to death ( As long as he walked on this earth, Jesus was the King and rightful heir to the throne of David. Based on his works and the manifested results as well as the subsequent events which have fallen out in HIS WAKE, He indeed did walk in PREEMINENCE and accomplished his mission here and when he died, the Kingdom was placed in suspense).  In so doing, the Jews who had him executed, enabled God to perfectly accomplish that for which Jesus was primarily sent, which was to redeem MANKIND FROM SIN and DEATH and from the dominion of this world which Paul stated IS A CROOKED AND PERVERSE NATION in Philippians 2:15. The tribe, that then was, and those who were in control of the temple and the governance of Israel refused to acknowledge Jesus and rejected him and in so doing, they enabled the greater vision which was waiting, solely in the mind of God, to be executed.  

Many Jews of Jesus' day, with whom Jesus interacted daily, became his devoted followers.  In the vacuum which resulted from the execution of God's son, Jesus, came a new plan (one hidden from the world's purview) and a NEW ADMINISTRATION of GOD. The focus of that NEW ADMINISTRATION is the plan of GOD that was instituted to fill the vacuum Jesus' death and subsequent resurrection caused. This plan is the Church of God in Christ which God birthed and established fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the day of Pentecost.

Joel's prophecy above is pointing to the Outcomes which were achieved here ON EARTH as a consequence of JESUS WALK here and the fulfillment of HIS MISSION WHILE HE WAS ON EARTH.

What Joel Prophesied in the verses above indicated BIG Changes.  What is indicated is that something was going to happen and that happening was going to dramatically affect standards relative to the manner in which GOD WOULD, IN THE FUTURE, BE INTERACTING with the  people of earth. WHAT HIS WORDS indicated is and was A CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION.  IN ORDER FOR THOSE CHANGES TO COME ABOUT, HOWEVER, JESUS WOULD BE OFFERED UP as OUR SUBSTITUTE for SIN and in payment for all the sins of the world.  In his WORK, as OUR REDEEMER,  JESUS OFFERED HIS LIFE , A RANSOM for ALL MANKIND, that ALL MANKIND might be purchased out from THE OPERATIVE INFLUENCE OF DARKNESS and THE DOMINION OF THIS EVIL WORLD and to be delivered and TRANSLATED INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD and HIS DEAR SON, JESUS CHRIST.  All of this was accomplished on legal grounds as described in the book of Romans chapters 1-12.  

According to scripture, as well as the manifestation of evidence regarding the same which has grown out of JESUS' work and has manifested therefrom, man's redemption was accomplished by Jesus' fulfilling the Law and dying at Calvary. This IS the hope which was embodied in Joel's prophecy for the future FOR ALL MANKIND.  As a result of Jesus' accomplished REDEMPTION of MANKIND, conditions changed which enabled GOD TO INSTITUTE A NEW ADMINISTRATION which addressed the NEEDS OF ALL MANKIND and included ALL WHO WILL COME, including Israel.  THE NEW ADMINISTRATION requires all to GO WITH GOD'S NEW PROGRAM and IT'S CENTERPIECE which is JESUS CHRIST.  Jesus' work is, today, an accomplished reality.  What we are looking at in these verses today relates to the Hope of all mankind with respect to our Redemption from SIN but also with regard to our  redemption from the darkness and operative influence of  THE CROOKED and PERVERSE NATION we are encompassed by (aka the world).

There is substantiating evidence in SIGNS MIRACLES AND WONDERS that continue to fall in the wake of those who walk with the Father who are followers in the disciplines Jesus himself established, which disciplines continue to be practiced by his followers and which disciplines are transferred (via instruction and teaching) from one generation to the next  in succession within the Church (God's Habitation) since the 1st Century.

The book of Joel deals with A NEW DAY and A NEW ADMINISTRATION unknown to Israel at the time of his prophecy.  THIS PROPHECY DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH THE NEW ADMINISTRATION(known only to God) which GOD indeed did establish upon the completion of JESUS PERFECT WALK AND WORK with regard to MAN'S REDEMPTION.  This prophecy of Joel 2:28-32 deals, in part, with the end days of the NEW (and future) ADMINISTRATION (which Peter Heralded on the Day of Pentecost as the BIRTHDAY OF THE CHURCH).  In this respect, the book of Joel, also specifically addresses the HOPE OF THE CHURCH OF GOD which God established on the Day of Pentecost which is GOD'S SALVATION and the RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.   Joel's prophecy addresses God's bringing revival to the land of the earth but it’s application becomes more clear when Peter makes reference to it on the DAY OF PENTECOST.  WHEN PETER UTILIZED THESE VERSES TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TEMPLE IN ACTS CHAPTER 2, PETER MARKED THAT DAY IN IT'S IMMEDIACY AS THE DAY THIS SCRIPTURE (Joel's Prophecy) BEGAN TO BE FULFILLED on account of and subsequent to Jesus' finished work.  IN FOUR VERSES JOEL DESCRIBES THE AGE OF GRACE, IT'S HIGHLIGHTS AND THEN ENDS WITH A SUMMARY STATEMENT RELATING THE HEART OF WHAT THE AGE OF GRACE REPRESENTS. One item which stands out here is the change of administration that is projected in this prophecy.  In all of time, prior to the day of Pentecost, there was an established pattern of protocol in which God, who is Spirit, interacted with His leadership on earth and the Prophets. There is a specific protocol with regard to “the Spirit“ and it’s administration in God’s Household (at that time which was), ISRAEL.  God appointed one man who was THE MAN OF GOD who served Israel as prophet and upon whom was (rested) the Spirit of God.  He was the designee who interfaced with Jehovah and brought God’s marching orders: when God had something to say, God spoke to THE MAN OF GOD, THE PROPHET.  The man of God would then reveal this REVELATION (word of knowledge, word of wisdom) as guidance allowed it.  What Joel’s prophecy, here signified to the people of his day, was a wide departure in PROTOCOL (and administration) as regards the spirit being spread in the future to individual sons and daughters. In addition, in this short address regarding the Grace Administration( the same one we are living in today), Joel revealed God's vision to bring ALL PEOPLE (WHOSOEVER WILL COME and ACCEPT HIS GIFT) INTO the FAMILY OF GOD:  His children of a NEW AGE and of a New Administration in time.  

When I was first aware of CHRIST'S RETURN, I had the same preoccupation that most new Christians have; we are extremely curious about knowing WHEN THE LORD IS GOING TO  RETURN.  There were some books written at the time of my  spiritual liberation, including books on prophecy by Hal Lindsay, The Late Great Planet Earth.  There was another book I read about revival in Indonesia by Mal Tari: A Rushing Mighty Wind. There was a big Jesus revival happening at the time and this was A SUBJECT very many believers wanted to know about.  We were anticipating this RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST and anticipating our lives moving ahead with the things of God in the hope of Jesus Christ’s return.  When Joel made this prophecy,  the hope that this prophecy addressed was to Israel and Israel's wholeness being accomplished and what was wrong with Israel, being repaired. It is evidenced in this scripture that something dramatic was going to come to pass which was going to bring new growth and rejuvenation, spiritual revival in the earth. THE PARTICULARS OF THAT EVENT WERE NEVER DISCLOSED (they are to follow in this discourse).  There, however, is more hope (Hope is STACKED in these verses in layers) represented here to another generation of believers in the planned household of God that is also emanating from this prophecy.  In Joel's day this prophecy represented something for Israel to look for and forward to.  In this day, today, Joel's prophecy offers hope in relation to the Church which God established on the Day of Pentecost and which administration we are still living in until Jesus Christ returns for the Church which is Christ's Body and to which BODY, CHRIST IS THE HEAD.

In the book of Joel, the Word of God says that "your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams".  Joel is a book of prophecy which has a section that discusses a reference to the end times (which refers to the END OF THE AGE OF GRACE).  Matthew 24 is a reference that Jesus spoke referring to the end times.  He was called to the circumcision and sent his disciples to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. That is who Jesus’ ministry was to: the circumcision: the Jews; he did not come to the Gentiles.  That outreach objective was revealed to the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul and came later.  All of the things recorded in the Gospels therefore had to do with the Jews and is addressed to the Jews.  We can learn a lot of things from the Gospels but they, the gospels, are not addressed to the church of God in Christ.  The Epistles (Acts, Romans, I +II Corinthians, Galatians ,Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, I+II Timothy, Titus, Philemon,I II III John, I+ll Peter, and Hebrews) are all addressed to the Church: the church that God established on the day of Pentecost.  This Church was also a mystery and remained a mystery from the beginning of time until THE MYSTERY was revealed to the Apostle Paul who referenced it on several occasions in the epistles which are addressed to the Church. The books that are addressed to the church that deal with the subject of our hope which is the return of Jesus Christ are I and II Thessalonians and I Corinthians Chapter15.  Here is a song from one of my  heroes Bob Dylan on this subject called When He Returns.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5Xig3sO6t0

In the Bible, at Matthew 24:36, it is stated that no one knows the time or the hour of Jesus Christ’s return.  Only God knows the day and the hour and He is not revealing it.  Some of this may be related to the prophecy being fulfilled and what that requires is for us, the church, to do our job: to spread the Good News of the Gospel throughout the earth. The Book of Acts is a history of the work that the first century church did in relation to the prophecies related to God’s word being delivered to every nation.  It is a specific schematic, indeed, of events and  protocols that were used by the 1st century Church to move God’s word inside the body of Christ which is the church and to the world.  Acts19:20 and Colossians1:5,6 and Colossians1:23 are relevant scriptures related to the subject of the success that the 1st Century had in moving God’s word. 

Acts 19: 20

20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

Colossians 1:5, 5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

Colossians 1:23

23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

If we replicate the work and obedience of Paul, we, aided by the plan’s Engineer, might get there this century if we are focused and believe.  But the Word of God clearly indicates the amazing success of Paul’s ministry and God authorized these scriptures on the subject to be written to document the success and also to highlight their protocols for accomplishing THIS RECORD which they established.  The evidence is clear: under the  ministry of the apostle Paul, every living creature on the face of the earth had the opportunity to say yes or no to the Gospel (Good News).  At the apex of the work, in Acts 19:20 the word of God states that THE WORD OF GOD LIVED AND PREVAILED in that society and in that culture and that is a feat that has never been duplicated that we know of in history.  It is time we ask God and go forth on this mandate (to preach the good news to all nations) and on this objective, so this work is finished and we are able to come to the end of the age  (I am referring to the end of the AGE of GRACE which is the BIBLICAL AGE WE ARE NOW LIVING IN and which will end when Christ Returns).  What is the catalyst; what was the catalyst for the 1st century church and the apostles to accomplish this feat?  THE HOPE OF THE RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST was among the catalysts.   HE was the Word of GOD in the Flesh manifest in the realm of the five senses.  He was PURE LOVE and GOODNESS for all to See. He was PURE INTEGRITY and PROMISES KEPT on a daily basis. His life was a fountain of these issues in manifestation, daily, for all to see.  Jesus’ followers  believed Jesus’ return was imminent and they acted like it.  They had a very good case of the HOPE and it was based on their knowledge of him and the truth living in them which (truth) produced the same signs miracles and wonders in their paths which marked them as Jesus’ followers. THIS TRUTH CONTINUES TO PRODUCE THESE SIGNS MIRACLES AND WONDERS EVEN TO THIS DAY.  He is not coming back until the prophecy outlined in Ephesians 4:11-14 is fulfilled:

And he gave some apostles, and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ; Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

I watch and have been watching for 40 years.  I have been watching for signs and for the seasons that the Bible records as pertaining to the “end of the age”.  The age that we are living in is the same administration that began on the day of Pentecost almost 2 millennia ago.  It will draw to a close when the work of the church of God, of whom Christ is the head, is complete and the Body of Christ is grown to the lofty august body which God envisions; when the prophecy is fulfilled relating to the good news being delivered to every nation, that day will come.  There is a world that we do envision which I stated is indicated in the book of Acts in the first century church when SO MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD OF GOD AND PREVAILED.  What would that look like? TOTALLY AMAZING!!! Think about the implications of that!!  Such a phenomenon would make the world we live in look much different than what we see today.  That would be a good thing for all of the earth’s inhabitants. Why? Because when that happens, GOD’S GOODNESS, GOD'S LOVE, GOD'S PEACE, GOD'S HARMONY is EVIDENT and pervasive in culture, recognized and applauded, as well as, welcomed.  Walls break down, peace breaks out, and LOVE is preeminent even to the end that ethics prevail, justice and freedom.  These are much needed answers.  If such changes were to take place, would they not be in the interest of God, who has been waiting to remain for a season for His work to continue and expand.  Imagine such a world.  Pray for such a world.   

Things happen in the Spiritual realm and then they happen in the physical realm, so I have heard.  Hence the phrase “THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN”.  HENCE, WE PRAY to release THESE ENDS and OBJECTIVES that are called upon in the Lord’s Prayer and in the book of Acts and in the Epistles.  This is God’s desire but as you should know by now, there is a spiritual battle pitched in the earth and it has been going on since the dawn of time and the battle has been won through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN.  We are just waiting for everyone to take their places now, which includes those that have been called to the Church of God, answering the call.  These  are coming in droves every day in answer to God's call to become HIS CHILDREN and MEMBERS IN PARTICULAR IN HIS BODY, THE FULLNESS OF HIM WHO FILLETH ALL IN ALL.

The hope of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ is a primary occupation of the new believer and of the seasoned veteran believer.  Our focus is on His Appearing  (Parousia,greek) and our preoccupation is tied to our hope of His return.  Remember two whole epistles are devoted to this subject: I and II Thessalonians.  I Corinthians 13, the LOVE OF GOD Chapter addresses our Hope by stating that NOW ABIDETH Faith, Hope, Charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity. These three are ever present realities to believers in the Body of Christ.  They work together in us to help us grow through working together within them and within guidance, obedience, and inspiration.  We are supposed to be preoccupied with HOPE as well as with FAITH and CHARITY. They are not musings here that are wasted FOR THEY ARE OUR LIFE’S BLOOD so to speak. To Believe (walk in Faith), To Hope, and To Love; they are verbs and they are the continual preoccupations of THE ACTIVE HEART of the Believer.  This is what  believers are instructed  to eat, drink, and sleep.  It’s our calling, spiritually, and it is the toolbox that we are to actualize (within) in relationship to our spiritual DNA which God planted in us through his incorruptible seed we received when we are/were born again.  It is God’s plan for each one of us who is in the body of Christ to go interactive with Him in FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY so we can reap all the benefits of a life(“more abundant life” John 10:10)and VITALITY that is real and productive every day of our lives.  Our embracing these is the venue through which GOD is enabled to SHOW up in our lives because we have decided to go FOUR DIMENSIONAL with Him and in the manner which He, God prescribes which can be ferreted out through an accurate knowledge of the scriptures and practical application of the scriptures to our thinking habits and our every day lives in every circumstance (more info on this and becoming informed about these protocols is found in guidance I give at the conclusion of this effort).

That is why there is this preoccupation about Christ’s return and our enthusiasm that others might know the truths we have learned that set us free and which work in our lives on a daily basis.

I am frail and weak and dust.  I am lost and I am blind in the body and soul man.  What is ominous and  strong and preeminent is behind the facade in the realm of the “THINGS UNSEEN” (when we look at God and Christ we become the nature of God and Jesus Christ). We are enabled to Actualize in Spiritual Completion.  It is behind the façade, this veil(our canopy), that lies  strength. stability, and power. It is there, wherefrom all blessings flow; it is there ( the Interactive Spiritual Universe) from which life in all of it’s manifestations, proceeds.   In our expectation and in our anticipation and in our inspiration, something has arisen and bloomed from THE OTHER SIDE(in us now). It is IN our anticipation of GOD'S PROMISES regarding JESUS' RETURN that OUR HOPE LIVES.  It is TRULY THERE that we LIVE and it is TRULY THERE THAT THINGS ARE SOLID, TRUSTWORTHY and FAITHFUL.  It is also there and now also here in us(in the HOPE of the unseen) that we plant our roots via decisions and then commitments we make, hand in hand with our tender Father, who is at our side to guide and direct and to answer our petitions in prayer.  This hope is reliable and in this hope and anticipation, are bouquets birthed and delivered.  There is an opportunity cost in saving in this realm and withholding life’s expenditure of time and effort elsewhere, and instead investing time and effort toward actions associated with The Hope. 

What is Heaven’s Shore and behind the veil, our canopy (the realm of the unseen; that quarter from whence answers came)?  We will never uncover (discover) these things unless we build in ourselves and build in our decisions, and build in our habits and build  in our commitments the building blocks of the Purpose Driven Life which has as its core THE HOPE, FAITH, and CHARITY. 

In and of myself, I can do nothing.  With the Father, I can do all things.  Those are statements Jesus made.  While I was pondering this answer, I went into review of the time  that my parents took me through Europe and not a few Cathedrals.    I know that these buildings are a huge monument built by men to glorify God but most of the information I had gleaned in church up to that moment, was sparse and unconnected to living life.  What I saw when we were in those places was a lot of graves standing in those churches where royalty and dignitaries had been buried and honored by being buried in those Cathedrals.  Over the course of several weeks therefore and at the age of eight, I developed a lot of questions and a preoccupation with death.  The preoccupation stayed longer than it was welcome and became somewhat of an obsession but on some level I was able to suppress my feelings and the void of resolution that took up residence inside of me, as a result.  I had to wait for at least 8 years longer (another whole lifetime for me) in order to put that one (question about death) to bed and because there were no answers at my church regarding the answer to the death question (because they didn’t study scriptures at my church; they used scripture to launch a liturgy (they called it) and a ritual that repeated every week, with sermons added, that had little to do with Faith, Hope or Charity), I languished.  These unanswered questions that kept piling up are the seeds that blew up inside me, requiring me to demand answers when I was 17 ( the answer to the death question is found in Hebrews 2:14,15ff. Follow that up with Romans 10:9,10  and turn the key).  This is the aperture through which my answers found me(words of wisdom and freedom)wherein Love lighted in my heart, the window wherein the Light came to me and I hope this experience will replicate itself for and inside my reader as we continue to move along.

Now there is something that has occurred just recently that has very interesting implications regarding the event of Jesus’ return for the Church that I have to insert at this juncture. He stated in Matthew 24 that his coming aka his appearing (parousia){His appearing has a beginning , a middle and an end(telos)} would be accompanied by signs in the heaven and signs in the earth.  Here are some specifics: 

 7: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. See Revelation 19:11-16. 

When Jesus proclaimed these prophecies in Mathew 24, what God had foreordained regarding the church of the body of believers which God is calling to himself, did not yet exist: it (the Church) was a mystery which was later revealed to the Apostle Paul. THE BIBLE STATES that the dead are dead. The Bible declares when the DEAD will rise in the book of I and II Thessalonians and in the Book of Revelation.  Every one who has ever lived is dead (still) until those events transpire (except for Jesus Christ). That, in effect, means that there is no one up there in the Spiritual Universe saving God, Jesus Christ, and the Angels. So, then, it becomes very interesting in the book of Revelation (also a book of prophecy) chapter 19 when the Bible declares the following: v 11- 16/ 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, and Lord Of Lords.

Between the PRESENT and the time being spoken of in these verses, therefor, something must have changed with regard to the dead who (I just told you according to Biblical reckoning) ARE NOW ALL DEAD. 

Verse 14 states that there are armies with him that are accompanying him to the earth.  Who are those people?  I assume they are people. They must be people who have been raised from the dead; some may be those that died in the tribulation (which tribulation is declared and recorded as The Lord’s (Judgement) Day recorded in the book of Revelation) whom GOD raised.  If there are others, not of this category, they must be the Church. This reference to Jesus coming to earth with this group following him in Revelation 19 would  conclude the TELOS or the very tail end of the parousia which is the word which refers to Jesus Christ’s coming back(for his saints and then with his saints).  In the beginning of the parousia, Jesus’s appearing, He is coming for His saints when the Church ( those who are dead in Christ and those Christians who are alive at the time) will be gathered together unto Him in the air as is stated in Thessalonians.  In the telos, or ending of the parousia, He is coming back with His saints to touch down on the earth, at which time, He will begin to reign for 1000 years as He ascends the throne of David as David’s rightful heir and of whose kingdom there will be no end.

These  issues are of vital import to us who are God’s Church.  In addition, there is something which I stated a moment ago which relates to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ which I am about to get to but first this: Matthew 24:37ff

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming(appearing) of the Son of man be.  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noe entered into the ark.  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be (this will be sudden and it will be a surprise: it is foretold in the book of Thessalonians to happen in an instant in time).

Acts 2:17-21

17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

Sounds familiar because it is a quote Peter used on the Day of Pentecost to describe the event that had just transpired which was the beginning of the Age of  the Grace administration which was the birthday of the Church. Peter chose this verse to quote from Joel!  Why?

(When Jesus work of Redemption was FINISHED, it allowed God to move ahead with the initiation of the CHURCH OF GOD and THE NEW ADMINISTRATION we refer to as the CHURCH AGE or THE AGE OF GRACE ADMINISTRATION which God began on the day of Pentecost, 50 days following Jesus' resurrection from death).
 

We need to remember that this book of Acts was written by Luke who is a member of the Church and this scripture is addressed to the Church and Matthew 24 is addressed to the circumcision.  This is a record where Peter responds to the reaction of the crowd on the day of Pentecost to put the event of Pentecost in perspective for those present.  Here Peter is quoting the prophet Joel (2:28) to explain what just happened when the twelve had received the gift of holy spirit into manifestation. As I stated previously, the event of the outpouring of God's spirit to individuals was a departure from previous tradition in God's Administration(s) on behalf of his people.  

In the midst of this event there was a tremendous sign. Not only had God poured out (FOR THE FIRST TIME ) of His spirit to those who received the gift that day (God for the first time in history was able to deliver the gift of holy spirit to believers via sonship seed(new birth), as they believed, on an individual basis); but there was also a phenomenon (signs in the earth beneath) of the cloven tongues (descending from heaven that were clearly visible to everyone in attendance that day). The twelve recieved holy spirit into manifestation when they each individually spoke in tongues  while God  confirmed by fire (a phenomenon)  his presence (represented by cloven tongues of fire descending) and backing of this long awaited for day and event. Next to Creation, and the Giving of his Word via holy men of God, and  the virgin birth by Mary of Jesus (Jesus’ first coming) and Christ’s perfect work ( which were all prerequisites to this), this is the greatest event of all time and the culmination of God’s plan for liberating mankind.  This Day LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD for man in the contemplation of the long running spiritual battle pitched between God and God’s archenemy, satan.  And in these last days, God has poured His spirit and is pouring out of His spirit on all FLESH,  including the Gentiles from all nations, all tribes, all tongues by way of the NEW BIRTH .  GOD POURED OUT HIS SPIRIT, (beginning upon this day, the day of Pentecost)  to individuals (sons and daughters by adoption). THE SPIRIT WAS BORN IN THEM BY SEED (indicating sonship) on an individual basis. AND GOD POURED OUT HIS SPIRIT and IS offering this new arrangement TO ALL FLESH including all nations, tribes, tongues, men and women boys and girls.  GOD THREW THE DOORS OPEN and INVITED ALL TO COME JOIN HIM and become His CHILDREN.  THE JEWS WERE/ ARE INCLUDED IN THIS  INVITATION.  The offer is TO WHOSOEVER WILL COME.

If one desires proof of eternal life, one may want to consider the following. The Bible states that Jesus was approved of God by many infallible proofs. Acts 2:22

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know…” How did Jesus produce these signs miracles and wonders? He did these  BY THE  SPIRIT OF GOD  dwelling with Him.  If the Spirit hadn’t been with Jesus, he would not have been able to perform these mighty works.

Every time power was manifested by men or women of God over the course of history, It came by way of the spirit dwelling upon them(old testament believers, Israel) or in them(new testament believers, the Christian Church/ new testament believers).  Every miracle ever performed proceeded from the operation of the power inherent in the spirit with the believer.   On the day of Pentecost, there was the manifestation of Speaking in tongues highlighted by God’s Fire Show. The manifestation of speaking in tongues by the apostles signified the presence of the spirit (gift of holy spirit in each individual who spoke in tongues that day via the new birth seed within them)in operation within the men who were present that received the gift that day.  The operation of that spirit indicates the presence of the gift that God gave on that day in the form of Sonship and eternal life seed reflective of the born again status of every believer who manifested the manifestation of speaking in tongues that day.  Speaking in tongues indicates the presence of spirit (the gift); Presence of the Spirit indicates the indwelling Gift which is indicative of the Seed which is incorruptible and indicates eternal life.   There is another cite relative to this event in a verse which confirms that this qualifies as the Sign indicated by the prophet Joel.   I Corinthians14: 22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe but to them that believe not; but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.  Operation of the manifestation (any manifestation from I Corinthians 12:7-11) indicates the indwelling of holy spirit, which is the gift.  Presence of the gift indicates eternal life seed abiding within. THIS IS ALSO PROOF THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD in that these manifestations produced on the day of Pentecost and subsequent to that time were prophesied prior and are the fruit of his resurrection and THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD and HIS FINISHED WORK OF OUR REDEMPTION. 

GOD, as a consequence of JESUS WORK, was now able to make this gift available and this outpouring and grant of sonship to many sons and daughters (AS MANY AS WILL COME AND ACCEPT HIS INVITATION AND OFFER).

All the highlighted parts of these verses are parts of fulfilled prophecy of Joel and are reflections of that fulfillment of that prophecy.

These are huge events and this one was huge and on the heels of this event came amazing follow through commitment and dedication in the lives of the individuals present who God was calling. This is all a matter of history and on some level all of these references are notable in that they POINT TO GOD’S MARKING THIS DATE IN HISTORY.  History now becomes extremely relevant.  There are eleven other verses that mark the event of Speaking in Tongues that highlight its’ benefits to the believer or one that operates the manifestation.  Since that day, 100s of thousands and millions of people who are acquainted with the Bible have learned to operate this manifestation out of passion to love God and TO OBEY HIM.  Many, many other followers, have passed on this benefit because they lacked the willingness (not the ability)to be disciplined to become informed in the truths concerning its operation and to act according to the will of God to their inuring benefit.  God left little to the imagination on this subject, for all with eyes, to see.  Peter did such a good job of explaining the importance of this event in history and in scriptural context that those present were overwhelmed by the HISTORY IN THE MAKING and were simply put in the state of awe and reverence and they all responded by getting born again that day, some 3000 souls, at Peter's admonishing.  Perhaps, these events brought about sunesis: the rivers of their understanding in their minds coming together as the enlightenment overtook them there at this historic moment.   

One more item appears to me with regard to this prophecy in Joel 2.  As Peter is quoting from Joel in Acts 2 beginning in verse 17,  there is a marker here which speaks directly to the beginning of the Age of Grace (Time is emphasized initially in addressing these Last Days and then a description of the qualitative changes which will be on display which mark this age)which we live in and which began on the day of Pentecost. This specific day in which Peter is referencing from Joel is the first day that GOD POURED OUT HIS SPIRIT upon All Flesh as then defined in the persons of sons, daughters, young men, old men, my servants and handmaids and further, vs21 all that shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (this is a summary of THE AGE OF GRACE ADMINISTRATION).  All of those references are pointing to something that had never happened in the house of God up to Joel's day but the INITIATION OF THAT NEW DAY, which Joel was pointing to in chapter 2 was marked ON THE INCEPTION OF THE CHURCH ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST and heralded by Peter by Peter's marking it and giving witness to it by referencing these verses upon that occasion.

Peter, in his subsequent sermon on the birthday of the church, on the day of Pentecost gave witness to this event and to this marker in time relative to the beginning of the Age of Grace, this new Age that Joel had prophesied about.   Then in v19 and 20, Peter (quoting Joel) repeats the following which, again, begins to deal with (not quality of change) quantity of time with respect to this new administration in referencing the heavens:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

In verse 20 above, which is a reference to Joel prophetically telling of a future time and change of administration, there begins a discussion of SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS AND EARTH and THE MOON and that this administration that he was describing and pointing to in the future would end with the COMING OF THE DAY OF THE LORD, which marks the beginning of another NEW ADMINISTRATION in time (Jesus return and appearing will coincide with the initiation of THE DAY OF THE LORD).  

Prior to the end of this AGE OF GRACE (the CHURCH AGE) is another time signature.  That time signature is the quote of v20 THE SUN SHALL BE TURNED TO INTO DARKNESS, AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, before the change of administrations from the AGE OF GRACE to the DAY OF  THE LORD.  I have researched the 4 blood moons which took place recently (each having taken place on High Feast days in the Jewish Tradition http://www.christiantruthcenter.com/significance-of-four-blood-moons-coinciding-with-jewish-feasts-passover-and-sukkot/   ) and have found that these occurrences have only happened 9 times since the 1st Century.  ARE these ECLIPSES and THE FOUR BLOOD MOONS which happened on JEWISH FEAST DAYS (2014-2015) represented in these verses in JOEL???  IS THIS A MARKER IN TIME which JOEL SUPPLIED; A SIGN, SIGNALING THE END to the AGE OF GRACE?  This reference is another marker in time and a signal as to WHAT WILL BE WITNESSED as the AGE OF GRACE DRAWS TO A CONCLUSION.  People calling on the name of the Lord and Getting saved (salvation occurring) has been going on ever since the day of Pentecost and for close to the last 2000 years to which I personally can attest.  This AGE OF GRACE, HOWEVER IS NOW DRAWING NIGH TO COMING TO A CLOSE.

DO WE KNOW THE DAY OR THE HOUR OF CHRIST'S APPEARING?  NO!!!  SHOULD WE BE VIGILANT AND ALERT, SO AS TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE BALL and by that INSPIRATION STAY AT THE READY and SHARE THIS MESSAGE ??? YES!!! WE HAVE A RED ALERT !!!  LOVE HIS APPEARING and LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, ACCORDINGLY!!!

If we don’t get objective and look at what it is that God is looking at and magnifying, we will miss the greatness of the events that He wants us to see and to give our attention to.

If one wants to navigate the high seas without a geo positioning satellite and fancy apps, one must have three points.  The ship itself, the north star and a land mass as a point of reference.

In the word of God, God references three separate occasions, documentation on how we received the scriptures ( Galatians 1:11, II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21).  Now we are seeing all these scriptures that indicate that there are signs in the heavens and the earth of the events that are transpiring historically with God’s calendar and in time.  Most of you will be surprised to hear me when I say that before the word of God was ever written on parchment, it was written in the stars.  When one begins to understand this truth, all the dates on God’s calendar  become  more amazing and dramatic.   When one reads Jesus Christ, Our Promised Seed, one gleans an understanding about the significance of many of God’s dates in history and how they were marked in the heavens. A specific  case in point  relates to the FIRST COMING OF THE LORD JESUS.   Was the day of Pentecost marked in the heavens?  I don’t know.  It was kept a mystery until God revealed the mystery to the Apostle Paul.  It was, however, marked in Joel’s prophecy and corroborated by PETER when he gave witness to the event as it transpired right in front of him, thereby marking that day as the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy as to it's beginning and the inception of the Age of Grace which has ensued therefrom.

When we use three points to navigate, we call it triangulation.

I have  read several  accounts of the assassination of JFK.  I have three credible sources that have outlined in great depth for me how JFK was killed.  ALL THREE OF THESE ACCOUNTS ARE IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION to the original version in the Warren Report.  This is one of the greatest deceptions of history because it was spread far and wide by MEDIA (which media: television broadcasting and radio, was not available 100 years prior).  It was seen on the news feeds for months and years after its occurrence.  The movie JFK is a documentary done by a war veteran, Oliver Stone.  It contradicts the Warren Commission.   There is a book by Carlos Marcello's brother ( Carlos Marcello is the New Orleans Mob Boss present on location on 11:22:63) which tells another account of the assassination of JFK.  It contradicts the Warren Commission.  In recent months,  I have been made aware of another theory which is in direct opposition with the Warren Commission report which implicates a federal government bureaucracy which was threatened by JFK and his policies.  JFK, by executive order in 1963, proposed the issuance of Silver Certificates (MONEY). JFK issued this order: not the United States Federal Reserve. These silver certificates were to be backed by the silver that the US Treasury had in its possession.  In that year, he was assassinated and afterward President Lyndon Johnson, who took his place, signed a new executive order in which he repealed the executive order issued by JFK and ordered the sale of all the silver still owned by the Treasury: It is rumored the number at that time was 6 billion ounces of silver.  It was also in the subsequent year, 1964, when they began adding alloy to our coins and thereby degrading the currency of the United  States.  Who do you think told LBJ to do these things? Who benefited?  What did Rothschild say about controlling a country's money? "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." -Maher Rothschild
What about controlling the money of the peoples of the World??? 
Who do you think controls the Federal Reserve Bank of the U S in all of it's branches?

I have now found three sources that corroborate each other and contradict the official version of the 911 commission as the great deception that it is.   Originally, Hunter Thompson released an article on the internet that was later published in Rolling Stone regarding the deception of 911.  Lately, in Anatomy of a Great Deception,  David Hooper who did his research independently quoted a third source who has contradicted the original version of the 911 commission. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Q5eZhCPuc.  William Cooper, who is my third source, corroborates information that Hunter Thomson and David Hooper also agree upon relative to the Deception of  9-11.  This is a great piece of work which establishes that there was massive collusion involved in this deception and points to something rather large in scope required to pull it off, especially in the press.   William Cooper was in the NSA(one of the NSA’s first hackers and whistle blowers) and his work, BEHOLD THE PALE HORSE, has been a great touchstone (especially with regard to the STEALTH NASA PROGRAM ongoing for 67 years, UFOs included) over the years relative to seeing clearly what moves in many of the players who are vested in covering up the truth.  Satan is the master deceiver and it is his objective at all times to mask and cover up the truth.  It has been said that the secret to this deceiver’s success is the subtlety of his moves.

There is a third deception coming up that will arrive soon.  This third deception will be the  explanation for the disappearance of, perhaps, millions(maybe billions) of souls, from the face of the earth.   These people are going to disappear when Christ returns because as the record promises, the believers (Christ's followers and the dead in Christ) are to all be gathered together with him in the air in a twinkling of an eye, in an instant of time at some juncture in the future.  

How is the enemy, the great deceiver and THE OWNER OF FAKE NEWS, the father of lies, going to have this event described afterward in the media? Based on the information divulged in Behold the Pale Horse, by William Cooper,  It is very likely that the explanation for this event will come by describing this disappearance using the facade of "aliens".  Therefor I would expect that there will be lots of downloaded intel fabricated and disclosed and massaged for our entertainment between now and Jesus Christ's Return to pave great inroads for this lie to take root before and after the fact of Christ's return.  William Cooper's work on this is very plain in explaining the ONGOING LIE OF the existence of aliens. Mr. Cooper goes into great detail regarding a league formed after WWII between the heads of the Allied powers and the god of this world out of which came technology transfer and an arrangement from which was born the Stealth NASA Program which has been concealed from public knowledge and public view.  

I believe, based on my study, that this day will go down in history as one of the main events of God’s timeline and calendar of history and is therefore not only referred to in the WORD OF GOD, but it also appears to be documented in the stars and by signs in the heaven and signs in the earth.  In the book Jesus Christ, Our Promised Seed, there are many great and incredible revelations that are disclosed with regard to the matter of Jesus'   first coming. They are disclosed in such a way as to show God’s three dimensional multi faceted calculus related to this event and how the stars and planets signaled the event of  Jesus’ first coming: his birth. The  date of and star formation which occurred at Jesus birth are further corroborated by the use of Stellarium ( a planetarium app) in association with history (in regression) in the stars and planetary alignments which occurred with the first coming of Jesus. Were there other celestial markers which accompanied other major events on God's calendar.  Is this a pattern which will repeat in the heavens in signs that will herald the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ?

And now a word on the Sphinx in Egypt.  Adam knew the stars and astronomy and he knew the Word of God which was written in the Stars and he was acquainted with the narrative as presented in the celestial bodies.  He passed that information on by oral tradition.  Noah also knew the Word of God was written in the Stars and the oral tradition pertaining thereto.  He also passed this tradition on orally to his sons.  They knew this and they also passed this knowledge down to their faithful sons and daughters and to their descendants, the Magi (was Daniel one of these descendants?), who split off from the clan and wound up in the East.  Abraham also knew this tradition and passed it down to his offspring.  Joseph probably knew this information as well (being a descendant of Abraham). It was under his rule, as Prime Minister in Egypt and his probable teaching of these truths in Egypt, that the Sphinx was commissioned (my opinion).   This information came to me through E. W. Bullinger's Witness of the Stars. What is the significance of the Sphinx.  The head of a female represents Virgo and the body of the Lion represents Leo(these {VIRGO AND LEO} are both participants in the constellations and star formations relative to Jesus' first coming {they also came into conjunction again near Regulus in Leo June 29-July 4 2015 in similar manner as they did at the time of JESUS' BIRTH}; Are they also in play in the Revelation 12:1,2 sign??? YES).  Please take a break here to view the following video.

***See Scotti Clarke's video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91F_EseiPkU

It also indicates when (according to tradition and the stars) that Time Began.  The Feast of Trumpets, heralding the Kingdom of David’s throne and the coming King of Kings is in September.  This is the time when the Magi began their journey west from the East when they saw Jesus' Star(aka THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM).  Originally. the Jewish calendar(time) began and New Year came at this time of the year.  This is known as Rosh Hashanah which this year falls on Sept 14 (this year of 2015).  But the first month on the Jewish (our contemporary Jewish) calendar is Nissan which calculation and revision came about later. Originally, the first month of the year on the Jewish  calendar was September (aka Tishri) and it coincided with the New Years Celebration.  I don’t need to do the work for you which for your part is to do your own due diligence and study these sources.   My responsibility is to set the stage for you.  We know (through Stellarium, regression as well as documentation in Jesus Christ, Our Promised Seed) that Jesus was born on September 11, 3 BC based  on determining his Star and that it showed up then (is that a coincidence that Jesus birthday is 9/11 in the year 3 BC?)  Now, we have just witnessed the same alignments of stars: Jupiter and Venus in Leo nigh to Regulus ( June 29- July 4, 2015).  AGAIN: THIS IS THE ONLY TIME since the original appearing of that star that it has ever happened again according to NASA, citation to follow).   Ladies and Gentlemen,  this NEW APPEARANCE (siting) THEREFORE, IS HIGHLY AND GOBALLY IMPACTFUL AND SIGNIFICANT.  THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. THIS IS WHAT I AM ANTICIPATING and LOOKING TO THE HEAVENS FOR, in anticipation of these signals. 

The word "coming" in Matthew 24 vs 3, 27,37,39 is Parousia.  It means appearing. The same word is used in the epistles 18 times.  His(Jesus Christ’s) appearing refers to a period of time that affects three groups of people: his kinsmen who his ministry (of the gospels) was devoted to (the Jews) and the church which was founded on the day of Pentecost which record is found in Acts chapter 2 (this is also the day that began the BIBLICAL AGE that we are still living in today referred to as the Age of Grace) ). The third group affected is ALL the NATIONS and PEOPLES of the gentiles. This age, THE AGE OF GRACE, will end at the beginning of the Parousia, appearing of Jesus Christ.  

The following is an excerpt from a posting that is related to the hope, written by your author.  The reason I include it is on account of how the Hope is related and what is transpiring  behind our backs in secret by persons who want to move us back into the days of the dark ages.

How many more have to be traumatized and murdered because of our SOLD OUT REPRESENTATIVES and SENATORS.  THIS Is an OUTRAGE AND A DISGRACE!!! So Funny ....what I read last week about collapsing bond markets, etc globally (future ) indicates that Medicare will be gone by the time I am old enough to derive any benefit therefrom.  At that POINT,  NO ONE WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSCRIBE to SOCIALIST MEDICAL PROGRAMMING and the people selling out our POLITICAL PROCESS and the AMERICAN PEOPLE are going to have a rude awakening at the WOODSHED.  I would not want to be within listening distance on that fateful day or be in this earthly realm subsequent to the END OF THE AGE OF GRACE. REST ASSURED, it is coming and Jesus is Coming too, sooner than most realize.  Read about it in Revelation 19;11-16. 

The Lord Jesus Christ is not coming back to be spit upon; nor are his accusers going to rail on him.  He is not coming back to be crowned with a crown of thorns.  He is not coming to be disgraced and beaten or crucified on a cross.  He is coming back in POWER AND GLORY and these idiots (who are owned by lobbyists and who are greed centered and therefor harbingers of destruction of anything in their paths) are going to answer to Him.  All the networked-in sociopaths and psychopaths that are hijacking banking and government and dominion thereby, jockeying for position and power now, to rule with the ANTICHRIST are going to be taken by surprise. This is their destiny. 

The Bible says that THE DEAD ARE DEAD and the BIBLE cites every instance in which people are going to be raised from the dead.  NONE OF THOSE INSTANCES has yet occurred.  In other words, since the beginning of time, no one who has fallen asleep (Jesus' words for death) has gotten up and stayed up yet, except him (because he had innocent blood(without sin), it was illegal for Satan, the author of death to have Jesus executed; I will document this for you shortly from the scripture).  Therefor, there is no one up there in heaven, yet; not one soul (If people died and went straight to heaven, why would there need to be a resurrection?).

In REVELATION19:14, the Bible states "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses clothed in fine linen, white and clean”. WHO IS THE BIBLE REFERRING TO when it highlights these armies who are with Christ following him in this phrase? It is   referring to those that Christ is going to gather to himself prior to his return to the EARTH TO REIGN for 1000 years. The first time he comes during his parousia (appearing which has a beginning middle and end), he is not coming to touchdown; we are to meet him in the air; the second time he comes during his parousia, he is coming as THE KING OF KINGS BECAUSE HE IS THE KING OF KINGS (He is going to be coming in HONOR AND GLORY accompanied with His Saints; those he gathered together at the beginning of the paroussia and those that are martyred in the book of Revelation).  This is the time in its proper sequence that Jesus  feet will touch down on earth and will begin the 7th administration in time (according to Biblical reckoning) referred to as the ONE THOUSAND YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST. 

The reason I said all of that is to say this: WE HAVE A CHOICE where we are going to be when Jesus Christ comes back. WE can choose JUSTICE, we can CHOOSE INTEGRITY , WE CAN CHOOSE TRUTH, WE CAN CHOOSE HONOR, WE CAN CHOOSE LOVE, WE CAN CHOOSE HIM. We don't have to put up with the putrefied liars and thieves that are infecting everything with their GREED and failed directives and policies(the systematizing of error)in the LOST SYSTEM WHICH IS NOW EVOLVING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.  WE CAN CHOOSE HIM to be our JUST LEADER and KING, now, today, by confessing him as the LORD and believing that GOD RAISED him from the Dead.  DO YOU WANT HIM or do you want to stay here with the SPOILERS of all the GOOD that GOD put here.  THE AGE OF GRACE IS COMING TO AN END SOON.  DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT BASED ON OUTCOMES YOU DESIRE IN YOUR LIFE and then VOTE WITH YOUR HEART and then watch with anticipation because history tells us and the scripture tells us that THEY, THE ENEMIES OF GOD AND CHRIST COULD NOT STOP JESUS FROM COMING THE FIRST TIME, EVEN THOUGH the WICKED attempted to prevent HIM and the WICKED attempted to slaughter him just after he was born.  There is another truth we must be aware of also and that is this: THEY, THE ENEMIES OF GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP JESUS FROM COMING the SECOND TIME because GOD PROMISED THIS for GOD'S OWN PURPOSES and unlike men, GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES.

Never in the history of man, have so few, done so much, to undo the greatest advancements in centrality and rights attached to the freedom of the individual and to the centrality of the importance of the individual.  In The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith opens up to us the standards in economics that are universal and that make the centrality of the individual  paramount.  In 1215, the Magna Carta recognized the individual as important and centrally important. Then the French Revolution and the American Revolution(followed), wherein the Rule of Law further declared and embedded  "the Individual" as paramount.  In John 3:16, to God, the individual is paramount. 

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
 
In the political process of the United States, things are supposed to move very slowly and "it is safe" because of this and because of the two party system and the "checks and balances" in the political system of the U S.  In the last 50 years, since “lobbying” has become a household word (aka bribery), all of this (the political process) has been commandeered by influential entities with deep pockets literally writing policy even outside the political system.  Legislation is now being written and then handed off to someone (congressmen/women for their introduction into congress).  What I am seeing, through this process, is the fast tracking of an agenda but it is not natural in process or origin.  I know much of what I am seeing is based solely upon greed and "for profit". When one looks deeper, one can see something far more sinister is in play, here as well.  People who are motivated by greed usually sell out to that and wind up like the EVIL SPAWN OF THE EVIL ONE, referred to in the Bible.  Put a group of these people together and one has the combination and capability for doing things on a grand scale globally and to push forth hidden agendas (cloaked, as in the Wizard of Oz) determined and foreordained to wrest control out of the hands of individuals(grass roots) and into an unseen network for the purpose of global domination by elitists who introduce and then spin phrases into the nomenclature of the day.  One such phrase is ‘New World Order’.  I refer to this  group behind these plans as the beast.  Their works will be shown ultimately for what they are: anti Christ, and those who stand up to this movement which is destructive by nature and requires shrinking(culling; see Hitler's Germany) population, I refer to as the ”anti beast”.

The anti beast faction present in the world will see no deliverance from the evil here outside the path of joining us in Christianity in the Body of CHRIST, THE CHURCH (joining Christ by accepting God's offer of salvation and deliverance), globally around the world: God has provided deliverance from the onslaught of these ungodly men and women in the person of JESUS CHRIST by way of  the medium of HIS SALVATION and therefor, also, BY HIS RETURN (and our exodus thereby). 

What I observe from my study of economics and my observation of the political process(as it has today evolved) is the invisible movement of bankers attempting to commandeer the economy and peoples of the world into a great herding experiment.  Freedom is the ultimate casualty, globally, and Freedom’s object: the individual!  All of this is being perpetrated for the furtherance of  global fascism and ultimately the world ruled by satan and his followers. They, the evil one, and those confederate with satan, want to own the world and the dominion of the world, thereby, and  to rule as ELITES.   As the economy of the globe continues to shrink, the hapless bankers’ policies (which are rooted in Keynesian  teachings) ultimately end in governments attempting to manipulate economics and political outcomes, thereby.  I refer to the whole process as the systematizing of error.  It violates the core foundation of personal freedom and economic freedom.  This process (lobbying to commandeer Governments into Banker Pawns) has been going on for 60 years, minimum, and is undoing everything that has been established which has proven to work the most efficiently (in economics and governance).  BUT I DIGRESS.

I would say that anyone who wants to be very blessed relating to the information being covered in this effort should read the book Jesus Christ, Our Promised Seed.  This also dovetails into the remarkable cite and video which surfaced this July with the advent of (Bethlehem Star ll)  Venus and Jupiter showing up in Leo close to Regulus (Jesus’ Star) and make sure to watch the video which is attached to this report on this conjunction (bottom of page). Please take this time to view the following video.

I wanted to include a recent item which has now surfaced with  respect to the four blood moons that have come into play with the eclipses that accompanied them for the years 2014 and 2015.  All the blood moon eclipses happened on High Holy Days in the Jewish Calendar.  I believe that these red moons are a sign. They may be a marker indicated in Joel's prophecy in Joel 2 relative to the coming of the end of the AGE OF GRACE (also known as the Church Age). You decide if you think this is coincidence.

So  we seem to be having more concurrent financial mishaps and it seems that the self appointed savior to get us out of the trouble that loose economic policy causes is the self same people that instituted loose economic monetary policy(bankers).  That is a glaring difficulty as it is tantamount to calling the fox in to guard the hen house.  It is also an outrageous conflict of interest which is undermining the soundness of the currency and also the Constitution of the United States, thereby. What is at stake? FREEDOM. What are the implications of this practice on FREEDOM? Far reaching, I am afraid.  They institute policies that cause huge financial calamities to happen (See India and Prime Minister Modi)  and then they come in to put out the fire when the calamity arises by utilizing more of the same policy with bank bailouts and more implementation of debt policies (in conjunction with money printing {counterfeiting}) which is how bankers expand their influence through taking over control of governmental bodies and countries.  They call it central banking.  If it was all working, all of these entities would be working independently. The problem now is that they are all working together to cover up the massive mistakes they have made all the time grabbing for more(government) influence and power and control (or is this all by design: the growing of the behemoth/BEAST???). That all these central bankers are now working together is, to me, a giant TELL, which is screaming a message to me regarding the END TIMES (The end of the AGE OF GRACE) we are living in. This all wreaks of monopolistic corporate fascism and behind the veil somewhere is the group of people who want to  RULE THE WORLD AS MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE.  Sounds just like the Book of Revelation to me.

{I have mentor, now deceased, Richard Russell.  He was a financial news analyst and responsible for Dow Theory Letters which he began in the mid 50's. One day in one of his addresses, he confronted the idea of governments' "printing money" and the sanctity of the responsibility to maintain the integrity of the U S dollar.  He made an example of himself has a man that worked his whole life under the GOD GIVEN MANDATE TO WORK and he saved his life savings in dollars (70 working years).  For the U S Government, or Congress, or the Federal Reserve or the Treasury or any combination thereof to order the printing of trillions of dollars to bail out a bank problem in 2007 was to him ANETHEMA. WHY? Because he worked and saved in dollars for 70 years.  It is an insult to every working man, woman, and child for people of this ilk, to interfere in the process of the remuneration of the individual for HIS LIFETIME OF WORK (through this counterfeiting).  He passed away two years ago, and his commentary regarding this matter couldn't be any more prescient. Why? Because God gave the mandate to work! And these Bankers are seriously and arrogantly, interfering with that very MANDATE by their messing with the value of the dollar BY DEPRECIATING IT'S VALUE by printing trillions and thereby turning the U S  Dollar into confetti.  They are also showing in what low regard they (these bankers) esteem EACH AND EVERY SINGLE CONTRIBUTOR (we workers) who collectively comprise  the HEART AND SOUL of the global economy  and upon which the global economy is built,runs, and thrives}.   

THE BOOK OF REVELATION might also be a good read for my audience to see what is going to transpire after the return of Jesus Christ (when the church is gathered together out from the midst of this crooked and perverse nation(the world)).

I am an extreme advocate of self determination as well as FREEDOM in all of its facets. The least that I can do, here, is to expose the darkness that I see in the world and to identify the problem(s) and the SOURCE  (the EVIL MELT UP is an indication of the times that we live in and the objectives of the Anti Christ coming into full view).  The most that I can hope for is to paint a picture of the reality that I see and to point to the ULTIMATE SOLUTION which is THE RETURN OF CHRIST. 

Philippians 2: 12-16

12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

14Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Paul refers to the world that was then (according as God Moved IN HIM TO DECLARE THE TRUTH) as A CROOKED AND PERVERSE NATION.  So, nothing has changed except time and progress that has occurred and been built on the LIGHT.  God’s truth keeps MARCHING ON.  

By the authority vested in him via his position in the 1st century church and through INSPIRATION OF GOD as a PROPHET, Paul referred to the world as "a crooked and perverse nation"-- this 2000 years ago.  Under pressure from the world empire of the time, Paul was swallowed up of the same.  Since that time, the Roman Empire fell; PAUL'S WORDS LIVE ON TODAY!!!  Perhaps the empire was swallowed up by Paul's words (THE WORD OF GOD aka TRUTH). The world has not changed, nor has the Truth changed.  However, THE TRUTH has GROWN along with Personal Freedom and Economic Growth and Freedom (these elements have grown geometrically and exponentially and the advancements are so vast in so many facets that most are unable to comprehend what scripturally is true about our duration here; so they extend numbers and pretend we have been here for gillions of years). How did THE MASSIVE GROWTH AND GEOMETRIC ACCELERATION OF THAT GROWTH happen? It happened through God’s law of multiplication (since the beginning of the industrial revolution world population has increased 4x from approximately 1.5 billion after the civil war).  While this was happening,  incredible technology and innovation was released into the global economy which made us all RICH in disposable time and in quality of life.  WE OWE this all to our forbears, who preceded us here along this RIVER OF GOOD WILL flowing through this geography (SPACE) and flowing through TIME.  All of these advancements are antecedent to THE SPIRITUAL FREEDOM spoken of in II Corinthians 3:17 which is also tied to our FORBEARS in the SPIRIT.  WE ARE BLESSED IN SO MANY DIMENSIONS which we cannot comprehend.  PEEL back the onion skin and it will OPEN YOUR MIND and possibly the manner in which YOU PERCEIVE our collective past.

And NOW  WE ARE  STANDING ON THE THRESHOLD OF A VISION LONG KNOWN AND HELD BY THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE and THE FATHER OF ALL THAT IS GOOD.

THE RETURN OF CHRIST IS AT HAND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN; REJOICE and AGAIN I SAY REJOICE, FOR OUR DELIVERANCE DRAWETH NIGH!!!!! 

Luke 21:28 
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The implications of the appearance of Jesus Star again after 2000 years is staggering  and awe inspiring for all of those who wait in THE HOPE OF CHRIST’S RETURN.  

I Thessalonians 4:

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I Corinthians chapter 15 is to be read, contemplated, reread and re-contemplated, reread and contemplated, absorbed and absorbed and rooted in our heads and in our hearts; for this chapter is for our comfort and for our hope and exhilaration. 

Look at verse 22 and 23. 

22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Christ is the firstfruits from the dead. Then the word of God declares that in sequence, the next to be raised from the dead are the dead in Christ at his coming which will be gathered together with him at the gathering together when he returns in the air for his saints (it is called the gathering together as those who are Christ’s which are alive at the time put on immortality and incorruption in the same instant that the dead in Christ are raised from the dead and both groups are gathered unto Him). That will be followed by the resurrection of those faithful believers that die during the tribulation period(because of their faith in Jesus Christ).  Then, at a subsequent juncture, we will all return to the earth with Christ.  He will then reign for 1000 years.  

At the end of this passage, it states that we who are Christ’s after this event will be with Christ FOREVER ( I Thessalonians 4:17). That is logical in that we are his Body and we are his Church.  We are members in particular of the body of Christ. We are family, joined to- gether in him

Again, based upon our understanding that the dead are dead and will not be made alive until the return of Christ which will be the event of the first resurrection (subsequent to Christ's resurrection), who are the persons in the armies riding with Christ dressed in White Linen?  Who are these armies in Revelation 19.   They represent people who are alive and with Christ upon his return to earth as King, when He returns as King Of Kings and Lord of Lords.   They are the Body of Christ, The Church .  There is another group that is included: those who are martyred in the tribulation period covered in the Book of Revelation.  

When John opens up the book of Revelation, he describes where he is: on the  lsle of Patmos and that he is there in his vision which God Showed him relative to  “THE LORD’S DAY”.  This phrase represents a specific topic and time and this reference and allusions to it are found throughout the Old Testament. The Lord’s day is the DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD (Isaiah 61:2).  It is The Lord’s Day. It is also referred to as the Day of Jacob's Trouble.  It is a reference to a time when things have changed on earth, again.  It is an era in time that is specifically referred to and addressed by and in the Book of Revelation.  A reference to this term is found in Isaiah 61; verse 1, 2.  Let us take a closer look at these two verses. These verses also are PROPHECIES related to Jesus' ministry (verses he spoke at the temple upon the day that his earthly ministry began when he attained 30 years of age)

Isaiah 61:1-2 (KJV)

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Jesus mission in ministry is summarized in verse1 and the first part of verse two.

When Jesus got to verse 2 he said “To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and then he stopped.  Why ? Let’s look at the record where he says this in the gospels. Luke 4:18 -23

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Why did Jesus close the book here?

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

This is the section of scripture Jesus opened to on the day his ministry began on earth (another prophecy of scripture fulfilled and marked by JESUS and his reference to it).  When Jesus quoted this scripture, he stopped in the middle of this verse (Isaiah 61:2) at the comma and closed the book and said “this day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears”.  The reason that Jesus could not say the last part of verse 2 in his quote of Isaiah 61 is that, the day of vengeance of our God had not yet come ( this day has even unto now, not yet arrived, but it is coming).  That comes later and the comma here in Isaiah 61;verse 2 represents the mystery and the church age to which you and I are appointed to live in: the age of Grace {here is a delineation of the AGE OF GRACE by a comma; what precedes the comma is the inception of Jesus' ministry: the ministry of reconciliation.  The duties and responsibilities associated with this ministry of reconciliation subsequent to Jesus Ascension were assumed by the first century church (II Corinthians 5:17-21)}. What comes after the comma is the administration of Tribulation; the Lord's day, also known as the time of Jacob's trouble which is described in and by the book of Revelation, and referred to here as "the day of vengeance of our God".  

We are talking about the day of Judgement of our GOD, which is the Lord’s Day which is further described in the BOOK OF REVELATION.   This administration of the Lord’s day begins upon the completion of the Grace Administration which will be complete upon the gathering together of the body of Christ, the church of the Grace Administration which began on the day of Pentecost recorded in the Book of Acts in Chapter 2. On the day of Jesus's return, the Apostles of Jesus are going to see the Fruit of the work that Jesus and they began. It is going to be massive in scope and in number.

It is a day when God’s presence and God’s love (as far as the body of Christ (in whom God’s Love dwells aka God’s habitation is concerned) is removed off the face of the earth (God’s people are the habitation of God’s love here on earth))).  It is a day of vast consequences for those who remain here subsequent to His Return.  Some believe that the time span involved relative to the DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD, is seven years. 

It is a time that all my readers need to avoid, by making informed decisions based on better plans. 

It is a time that all my readers need to avoid, by making informed decisions based on better plans. 

It is a time that all my readers need to avoid, by making informed decisions based on better plans.

The Bible speaks of hail in that time. The hail is so bad that men curse God because of the hail.  This is a very interesting study that lead me to a search because of Al Gore who is the author of An Inconvenient Truth.  You should acquaint yourself with this documentary if you have not yet seen it.   After seeing this documentary and because of the science therein outlined and described, it followed logically (to me) that based on the co3 in our atmosphere now, that we should be met with the same destiny that had befallen our former earth (that was Al Gore’s thesis and all his facts followed toward that logical conclusion).  It is incumbent therefor for me now to reveal God’s promise that he made after the flood of Noah's day. In Genesis 9: 12-17

12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud (This is a reference to THE RAINBOW), and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

HAS GOD HONORED THIS PROMISE????

17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

I think that I have already covered this flood and the idiom of permission that is related to it.  I may have also addressed the Books of Peter in which this flood is addressed by Peter on two distinct and separate occations to explain what and who caused this flood and why.  The spirits that caused that flood and God’s resolution of them is referenced in the book of I Peter 3:19 where the record states that Jesus was raised from the dead and went to witness in his resurrected body to the spirits that caused the flood.   

Subsequent to the flood, God made an oath that this would never recur.

Well, something must have changed in the physics related to that event which happened or it was the change which was preordained to result as a consequence of this event and the oath that God made.  The reason I say that is that all of Al Gore’s science documents indicate that prior to the other ice ages that occurred, the co3 levels in the atmosphere had reached a level which is in effect now and also that which caused the ice ages.  His study so concerned me, that I took great efforts dwelling on it to the end that I thought about the several outcomes that must be coming to us as a result.  We are not yet reaping the results of this seeming causal relationship.

I therefore reasoned: Why Not?  And why, based on global warming, are the seas not rising and therefore covering up our harbors and shore based cities, globally?  One morning  when I was in the midst of these contemplations and some sleeplessness related to stress this subject caused, I woke up out of sound sleep. AND OUT OF THE BLUE,  A THOUGHT which I was REMINDED OF, via the SPIRIT in me( Hupomanesses: the spirit bringing  to remembrance : John 14: 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you), came to my mind.  I was reminded of the phrase I had been taught three decades prior and that phrase is  “Treasures of the Snow” and it is in the book of Job.  Also, one should look up all the references to hail in the Bible for a very enlightening time.  I have tried to share this information with others who left me with blank stares and disbelief.  According to my subsequent searching and readings and research that I am reading, I have come up with an answer.  The system of the world’s ecology is now balancing, based on principle of self regulation that God has instilled inside the ecosystem of this beautiful planet.  It is my belief, that the excess co3 in the world’s atmosphere is catalyzing absorption into the atmosphere of massive amounts of moisture and that the form that that moisture is taking is hail and there is an abundance of it.  So much so, that it is talked about with reference to future events in the book of Revelation with regard to the destruction that it is going to cause and havoc.   Our seas are not rising and we are not entering into an ice age because God put a fail safe inside our eco system that allows it to adjust and regulate.  Climate change as we know it, may be related to items we are unable to see coming into our Solar System, and not as a consequence of things happening in the earth.

Revelation16 gives a synopsis of some of the plagues of that future day.  The last verse, verse 21 deals with the hail that is to come. 

1And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. 3And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 8And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 10And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 12And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 17And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. How about the treasures of the snow? Job 38  discloses a little of the mind of God and what went into the planning of the universe that surrounds us and our wonderful planet earth that God put together for our habitation and in which (planning) process we should wonder in awe.  You will find the treasures of the snow in the middle of this discourse on the wonders of God’s creation. 1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 10And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, 11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? 12Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; 13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 14It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. 15And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. 16Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? 17Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? 18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. 19Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof? 21Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? 22Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, 23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?( What Day is this referring to? Is this a reference to The Lord's Day, The Day of Vengeance of our GOD, The Day of Jacob's Trouble represented in and by the BOOK OF REVELATION?) 24By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? 25Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 26To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 27To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? 28Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? 29Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 30The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 31Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 32Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? 33Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? 34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 35Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? 36Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? 37Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, 38When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? 39Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, 40When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? 41Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. God answered Job and in his answer we find that answer related to the Hail, Treasures of the snow and we find in Isaiah 55:8,9 the following declaration:  8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Enough SAID on who GOD IS and His RESPONSIBILITIES and who we are (children) and our RESPONSIBILITY of HUMILITY and MEEKNESS in our relationship as Students (and clay) in correspondence with our MAKER and TEACHER.

 

If you want to know the future,  I suggest you read the scriptures and then every day seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and then let HIM add all the other things to you that you have need of;  BUT KNOW THIS HOPE OF THE COMING OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR and REST IN THIS HOPE and LIVE AND MAKE YOUR DECISIONS BASED UPON WHAT THIS HOPE MEANS TO YOU. 

If one understands some simple things about economics and how it works, one can see, as I can, that our politicians and our economists/banker community upon whom these politicians rely for guidance for their leadership and choices: THEY DON”T HAVE A CLUE and they are leading us to the edge of oblivion in conjunction with the blind greed that has been allowed to enter and grow as cancerous gangrene in the system and the body politic(because of lobbying).  This is not a local problem or domestic.  It is global and it is systemic.

Is HE COMING BACK ?? YOU BET YOUR LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a parable that I love about what the Kingdom of God is like.

Matthew 13:

44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Without Jesus Christ and God, our Father, there is NO HOPE, NO SALVATION, NO DELIVERANCE, NO PEACE, NOR FREEDOM, NOR JUSTICE: NO RESOLUTION.  On the other hand, based on integrity alone and that God has it and that TRUTH WORKS all the time, one can build a life on the foundation of this truth and the principles and promises founded in this truth and one can bet one’s whole life, day in and day out, and be blessed the whole time, in fellowship with God and in His Love and with the fellow believers that God is bringing to us and HAVE THE MOST DELIGHTFUL LIFE IN A PLEASANT LAND described in Psalms 23.

Some of these blessings are described also in Psalms 1 and in Psalms 103 and In John 10:10 .

What do you want in YOUR LIFE? I SAY AGAIN, WHAT DO YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE????????  You as the caretaker of your best interests must decide for yourself and to do justice to that undertaking, you must first become properly informed so as to be able to make an informed decision.

 

Now I want you to hear more from the Apostle Paul from I Corinthians15:3

3 For I  delivered unto you first of all that which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4And that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

6After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once: of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God.

The Apostle Paul is the most dramatic representation of the WALKING IN THE HOPE that I can GIVE YOU  and he was DRENCHED IN IT from top to bottom and INSIDE OUT because of the Great Love THAT GOD BESTOWED UPON HIM and because of the way that  PAUL responded. THANK ALMIGHTY GOD FOR THE APOSTLE PAUL and all the believers that walked in the 1st Century Church because of their LOCK on the HOPE OF CHRISTS’ RETURN and their ENGAGEMENT THEREIN.

Now we come to something that is glaring us all in the face everyday and makes perfect sense but we see it every day and it never occurs to us how or why these things have occurred even though they stand out like a sore thumb and as a monument to the reality of Christ’s life and being, resurrection and presence on the right hand of God.  Look Up: the universe and the span of its’ running forever is a reflection of the eternity of GOD and what that forever is for.  It is incomprehensible in depth and scope and yet, there you have it, glaring at you in your face everyday ….forever glares us in the face everyday.

I Corinthian 15 continues in verse 10.

10  But by the grace of  God I am what I am : and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain but I labored more abundantly than they all; ye not I but the grace of God which was with me.

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

Paul’s resume is given in the book of Phillipians 3: 4-8  Paul begins by speaking about confidence in the flesh and that there is none and therefore he then goes to his resume and cites where he came from and what his standing was in that world (TOP OF THE WORLD).  If anyone should have had (false) confidence in their flesh, it should have been the Apostle Paul.  Look at his resume.

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day (1), of the stock of Israel (2), of the tribe of Benjamin (3), an Hebrew of the Hebrews (4); as touching the law, a Pharisee (5);

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church (6); touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless (7).

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.

There are seven markers(in the passage above) that describe in Paul a man of the HIGHEST PEDIGREE in Jewish circles of the Day.  THAT WAS WHY PAUL WAS A MEMBER OF THE MOST ELITE INSIDER JEWISH GROUP OF THE DAY known as the ruling body or the Sanhedrin.  In verse seven, Paul declares that all of that: his training, his background, his status in that world was all lost and that it was dung compared to what HE KNEW OF CHRIST AND WHO HE (NOW) WAS IN CHRIST and within the realm of his new enlightenment.

In the section above in I Corinthians15, Paul declares that he was born out of due season and that Christ had appeared to him.  Acts chapter 9 explains what happened to Paul on the road to Damascus where he had been sanctioned by his masters at the Temple to search out and destroy the enemy of the Temple: Jesus’ followers.  At one of these junctures and pursuits, he was present and authorizing the stoning that happened at Stephen’s death.

Acts 9: Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 
2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 
4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.  It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. 
8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.”

And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”

11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying. 12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 
14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.”

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. 
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

17 And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus,  who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized (informed action). * (the word filled above is the word Pletho or filled to overflowing) 

19 So when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.

20 Immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

That was a quick turnaround.

21 Then all who heard were amazed, and said, “Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

Who was this Saul?  He was a high caste Jew and he was sent with letters of authority from the Sanhedrin to carry out his mission which was to eliminate Christians from the face of the earth.  What happened to Saul?  He was met by Jesus or a vision in which Jesus said to him "Saul, Saul, why persecutest me?"  Then, what happened to Saul ? Well, he got born again and changed course and he changed his name to Paul.  Incidentally, the life that Paul knew before was gone, eliminated, kaput.   He lost everything because when he changed course, he became public enemy number 1 in the Jewish community(of the Temple and it's leaders).  He used everything he had learned as a high caste Jew and the revelation that God began to open up to him to spend his remaining years preaching and teaching the authenticity of Christ as our Savior, and Lord.  He died a martyr not only because of his dedication and persistence, and commitment and Love for God and Love for the Lord Jesus Christ; but also because he became rooted and grounded in the Truth that he taught everyone.  This is also the man, because of his dedication, that began and saw to it that from his school, which he established in Ephesus (Acts 19), that the WORD OF GOD WENT AROUND THE KNOWN WORLD AT THAT TIME.   In Acts 19, Paul came to Ephesus and a great work began and when some of the locals were hardened against Paul, he opened up a school and began to teach and the record in the book of Acts states: that the work continued for the space of 2 years and three months and in that time, all of Asia Minor (the known world at the time) heard the word of God and the Message of JESUS CHRIST and the good news of the Gospel of Deliverance, and Salvation. 

Paul and Peter, the other Apostles of Jesus, and their followers worked together, oftentimes under the threat of death, because of this Savior whom they saw up from the dead in his resurrected body.  Their work continued, as a result of their dedication, for three hundred years, wherein, believers continued to move the word and teach others one on one, one person at a time, until someone got passed the Roman persecution and had an audience with Constantine, who was the then presiding Emperor at Rome. Constantine then gave Christianity, his blessing and the sanction of Rome itself in 325 A. D.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls!!!!:  All the church steeples you see, everywhere you see them,  are a product and result of that work which began 2000 years ago.  The reason we are living in the civilization ruled by and governed by the Rule of Law derived from the Mosaic Law is because of the work of the 1st Century Church. The Reason for the Blessings of Liberty etched in the cornerstone of the Constitution of the U S is because the heart of the document refers back to FREEDOM and all of that FREEDOM is derivative to the SPIRITUAL FREEDOM that was born on the day that Jesus Christ Died and subsequently Rose from the Dead (when He declared of HIS WORK and OUR REDEMPTION: “IT IS FINISHED”).  What about the technology? What about all of the innovation we are the beneficiaries of??? WHERE DID ALL OF THE ADVANCEMENTS AND GEOMETRIC GROWTH IN POPULATION AND IN TECHNOLOGY AND GROWTH IN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE COME FROM???  Where  the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY! II Corinthians 3:17.  LIBERTY TO DISCOVER by ASKING and Receiving answers to our inquiries!!!! Liberty to Knock and have doors open unto us!!!  Liberty to seek and to find!!! These are principles encouraged and promoted in the scriptures and through the operation of which GOD is enabled to pour out blessings unto us. (We have just seen a sample of GOD'S GREAT GOODNESS so far).

We didn’t only choose Jesus: he called us out at God’s Behest and we responded to the call( Ephesians states in ch 1:4 God Called us before the foundation of the world). One should stop and get in neutral mentally and ponder that : IS GOD CALLING YOU?  GO DEEP inside your soul and LISTEN and wait; DO THIS NOW ; TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED!!  

Our Forbears in the Word  chose to follow Jesus because of what he meant to them.  We look at our world and it is getting dark out there. What about the world of the 1st Century Church under the persecution of Rome.  That was no picnic and I would contend that that was a much darker day than the days we are living in(so far).   JESUS LOVES US and Peter knew it and Paul knew it and life in that day was 100 times as oppressive as the days we are living in, today.  SO WHY DID THEY DO IT????  WHY DID THEY LAY THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE FOR FOR US?  WHY DID THEY LAY THEIR LIVES DOWN FOR THIS PURPOSE AND LAY THE FOUNDATION OF THIS HIGHWAY OF OUR GOD and THE PRESENT THRESHOLD that beckons to us ?? 

EVERYWHERE AROUND THEM, THEY WERE surrounded by LIES.  THERE WAS NO FREEDOM, THERE WAS NO JUSTICE, THERE WAS NO PEACE.  THERE WAS NO LIFE. THEY LOOKED at JESUS and HE WAS THE ANSWER and the BOUNTY through which all these vacuums were filled in their lives.  To Them, HE WAS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!  HE WAS THEIR BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR!  HE WAS THEIR HOPE! HE WAS THEIR RESURRECTION AND THEIR LIFE!! HE WAS THEIR ANSWER!  HE WAS THEIR HERO and THEIR CHAMPION!  THEY HAD CAUGHT SOMETHING and THAT SOMETHING that THEY CAUGHT BECAME worth more to them than their very lives!!!!!  THEY had caught a glimpse at integrity, the word of GOD IN THE FLESH.  THEY HAD CAUGHT JESUS' LOVE and they developed such a good case of it, by making a daily habit of giving it away, that HIS LOVE and GOODNESS overtook them and the destiny of their Lives, because once they had tasted that THE LORD IS GOOD, they could not turn back, they could not turn away; just move forward with the inclination and guidance that God put within them, with and in the LOVE OF GOD.  When I GROW UP, that is who I want to be LIKE; FOR THEY ARE ALL MY HEROES!!!   Hebrews 11 summarizes the life of Faith that they subscribed to and followed which was in their forbears.

Hebrews 11:13  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.14  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is  an heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city. 38 Of whom the world  was not worthy: they wandered  in deserts and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise.  These verses refer to the OLD TESTAMENT BELIEVERS and Pillars of Faith.

The Apostles and their progeny, spiritually, did receive the promise that Joel's prophecy was pointing to and they received the gift of holy spirit, incorruptible new birth seed  and God's love.   THEY INTERNALIZED THE HOPE and POURED their LIVES INTO THE HOPE in like manner as their forbears poured themselves into their hope, and blazed a trail of FAITH AND BELIEVING, and LOVE also.  

THEY KNEW WHAT THEY HAD RECEIVED ; THEY KNEW BY EXPERIENCE THIS AMAZING LOVE OF GOD and they ACTED IN A WAY that was COMMENSURATE to THE FREEDOM and PENETRATING GOODNESS provided by GOD through the WORK of their FORBEARS and THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST.  WHAT WE HAVE TODAY, BECAUSE OF THEM, IS THE FRUIT they laid at our feet and a REFLECTION of their LOVE and APPRECIATION.  May we follow in their footsteps and may our thankfulness for what we are the beneficiaries of manifest in like manner, BEARING MUCH FRUIT!!!!

LADIES and GENTLEMEN ,  I make my case ;  The world continued to change  when the Apostles followed Jesus. THERE JUST ISN’T ANYTHING THE WORLD HOLDS a candle to with regard to relationship with  JESUS CHRIST and GOD, THE FATHER.  HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.  HE SATISFIES MY LONGINGS AS NOTHING ELSE CAN DO.  What is one going to go looking for after CHRIST.  HE IS MY ALL IN ALL. HE IS THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR.  HE IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE!! HE IS THE  HOPE OF ALL MANKIND FOR ALL TIME.  We, now, must utilize our hearts and minds and press in. 

When one looks out at the universe,  it is wondrous and majestic, vast and magnificent.  There is something amazingly grand that is represented in the depth and length and the height of it and it is fantastically fathomless and in its magnitude, it inspires tremendous awe and it commands our attention and our curiosity; it compels our embrace, our seeking, our comprehension but it’s wonders are past finding out and therefore something remains of mystery.  But still, its dramatic circumstance, as our envelope, elicits our identification, our  unity, our harmony, because as we look up, we identify with being part of the magnificence which is represented here.   I believe man’s/woman’s success on earth is centrally linked to finding unity within the time and space allotted and aligning his/her path, vision, choices and decisions in a way that is in unison with the life force or power that is cloaked beyond the façade and that which is represented by the universe we behold, when we look up.  I believe that it is an individual journey and individual quest that has brought us to this place and time and that God’s plan of greatness for our individual lives is exclusive to every one of us individually and that our striving for greatness and desire for unity here is matched by God’s willingness to reveal himself to all of us, individually,  and that in our quest to identify with the majesty and magnificence we behold when we look up, that there are answers that come to us one by one in sequence as we reach up with our hands, figuratively, to touch the hand of God and to understand His magnitude. This is not a group event.  It is a you event.  And it is a me event.  But some of the facts regarding the case, we can discover together.  I believe the vastness of the Universe reflects the vastness of God’s Love, Purpose and Intent for us. To Touch the greatness of that, to comprehend the vastness, if only a little, is to understand pieces of a puzzle, put together, identified as God’s own heart.  Imagine that God has a heart like a father and that God has the capacity to communicate with us and that God decided in order to accomplish that, that He would choose words with which to communicate with all of us and that God thought it would be an aid to our understanding and comprehension of Life if He developed and placed within our midst, an operator’s manual, a veritable schematic, in which we might get to know His heart.  To further illustrate the magnitude of His desire for us to receive value and clarity and precision in his communication of Himself, He states in Psalm 138:2 “He magnified His Word above all of His name”.  He didn’t magnify His creation, universe, strength or power or dominion or omnipotence or omnipresence.  He magnified his Word above all of His name.  Many of you are familiar with the Bible and the books of the New Testament and the Old Testament and many of you are not which is just fine.   God has integrity but we do not because we are all liars (Romans 3:4) and therefor we are not trustworthy and because of our state of being and nature of sin that resides in us because of Adam's fall, we are also therefore skeptics.  Because we all have this innate lack of integrity, we are habitually turning that translated perception(within our lack of integrity) on the outside world as well as projecting our lack of integrity onto God.  But we want to be at one with greatness and we seek order and continuity and congruence because that was built into us from the beginning in how we were made.  God has integrity and The ALL TRUTH, but he didn’t magnify His integrity above all of His name or His Righteousness; He magnified His word above all of His name.  But we identify with God’s vastness and his majesty and grandeur as witnessed by the Universe we behold when we look up.  So I want to go into the Word of God and show you something THAT GOD HID that was in His Heart from the beginning.  His vision and plan, Magnificent and Majestic, hidden from all mankind as a mystery inside God’s heart, was  to bestow upon man (us) a gift that matched mans’ desire to be one, in union and harmony, with the Greatness represented by the Grandeur of God’s Creation which we behold when we look up.  God made something available that enabled man to reflect the greatness that man sees when man identifies with the unfathomable Depth, Grandeur and Eternal Vastness of the Universe.  God made this gift in such a way that it can live in us and we can live in Him, thereby, with perfect UNION.  This doesn’t tarnish or wear out.  It is eternal.  It is not  something that one can see with one’s eyes or know by one’s five senses but it is Spiritual and it is all the things I stated that are represented to us when we look up at the universe displayed but at the same time much, much, much, infinitely more.  It is eternal in scope and it never dies.

God hid this from the world and all of Christ’s predecessors in the faith and He did not reveal this Mystery, which he hid, until he revealed it to the Apostle Paul, some time after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.  Why did God hide this mystery !?????????

Because God is AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, JUST, LOVE, LIGHT, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT, RIGHTEOUS, PATIENT, VIGILANT, GOOD, TEMPERATE, ALL KNOWING, DILIGENT, METICULOUS, COURAGEOUS,  AUDACIOUS, WONDERFUL, WISE, VICTORIOUS, ENTHUSIASTIC, VIVACIOUS, STRONG, SUPERIOR, FESTIVE, LOVELY, and GOD is an AMAZING STRATEGIST, PATERNAL, OUR PROTECTOR, GENEROUS, DEVOTED, KIND, METHODICAL, REGAL, MAJESTIC, MAGNIFICENT, AWESOME.  All these adjectives contribute to the SUPERLATIVE nature which is GOD. God is HOLY and GOD IS SPIRIT.  GOD is CREATOR, COVENANT KEEPER, OUR COVER, OUR HEALER, OUR SHEPHERD, FEEDER, KEEPER, COMPANION, FRIEND, PASTOR, LEADER, and GUIDE. THE LORD IS OUR PERFECT PEACE. THE LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. THE LORD IS OUR PROVIDER AND THE LORD IS OUR BANNER OF LOVE.  HE IS A MASTER PLANNER, ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER,   and HE IS OUR MASTER AND LORD. THE LORD IS GOAL SETTER and MASTER VISIONARY and ENGINEER. Those are among the reasons I can find about God’s nature that gave fashion to the reason, logic, and practical approach that made Him decide to make and keep this mystery from the foundation of the world to enable us to WIN, touch HIS Greatness, and set up the platform wherein we are able to become HIS very nature, including many of the qualities listed above which character He wanted to impart to us in order to  enable us to share with him that we might participate with him and be coworkers and fellow laborers and fully share with HIM in the FELLOWSHIP of his AMAZING GRACE, LOVE, PEACE, SPLENDOR and the FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.  IT WILL TAKE ETERNITY TO DISCOVER AND EXPLORE the VIRTUOUSNESS THAT IS HID IN HIM and WHICH HE HID IN THE MYSTERY.

The believers in the old testament who I previously mentioned, could see in the scripture that there was a hope and that God was intent on sending deliverance but they could not participate in the divine nature because, it wasn’t yet available until the day of Pentecost and it wasn’t ready until THAT TIME WAS FULLY COME.  You see, many of God’s plans were contingent upon cooperation with BELIEVERS, our forbears, in whom GOD trusted and through whom and upon whom GOD’S PLAN proceeded through the ages.  GOD TRUSTS YOU, TOO.  HE TRUSTS YOU TO BECOME INFORMED AND MAKE  RIGHT DECISIONS so that you may take your place that he has planned and prepared for you in the body of Christ, his CHURCH, the fullness of HIM the fills ALL IN ALL. 

HE GAVE THIS LIFE and HIS FIRST OPTION to ADAM AND EVE TO BE PARTAKERS OF THIS DIVINE NATURE and GOD did that right in front of satan, who had been given the seat of and the POSITION of the BRIGHT and MORNING STAR but he lost his crown, so to speak, after satan was cast down out of heaven and went from being Head Angel, Lucifer, to becoming his new namesake, satan.  

God wanted ADAM AND EVE to have it all, but they threw it all away and went from the Penthouse of God’s plan to the outhouse, so to speak.  I have already discussed with you the “devil’s bargain” and what was lost because spirit was only given to them, Adam and Eve, upon a condition: the condition of their obedience to one RULE only. Their spiritual connection was upon them upon one condition and one condition only: to obey one rule and one rule only.  God's  plan for redemption of mankind (following Adam and Eve’s FALLING) from this fallen state and the outhouse which is a way for me to refer to satan’s dominion of this World, IS JESUS CHRIST.  So God had the patriarchal administration, wherein there were no written laws, followed by the Law administration which was initiated by Moses which gave the people their CODE and CULTURE and their RULE OF Laws. Their history was encoded therein, as well.  Then came the Christ administration in which JESUS CHRIST fulfilled every JOT AND TITTLE OF THE LAW OF GOD.  The law and the writings and the prophesies in the writings revealed God’s plan but God did not reveal all of His heart.  God did not need to reveal all.  The major theme IS OUR REDEMPTION from SIN and OUR REDEMPTION from this CROOKED AND PERVERSE NATION run by the GOD OF THIS WORLD and which is under the DOMINION OF satan (the “god of this world” and “satan” are one and the same).   ALL SCRIPTURE points to this fact and that satan via his discourse with Eve commandeered the dominion(Prime Ministership, if you will) of the EARTH from Adam upon whom GOD had conferred this responsibility and privilege.  God had literally made Adam, God’s under ruler here on the earth.  Look at Mathew Chapter 4.  In this Chapter by way of review, I need to show you the evidence, the proof, if you will, of the devil’s bargain and the fall out that occurred in Genesis 3 from Adam and Eve’s disobedience.  Jesus has gone out in the desert to fast. Why? Let’s see what happened.

Matthew 4:

1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.

3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

These are called the temptations of Christ.  In the first two rounds you see that satan was just getting warmed up for what he thought might be an easy foe.  Notice how Jesus answered satan.  By this time, Jesus, because of his study of the scriptures and the records of his parents' information (intel) knew something of who his forbears were, and he knew who he was. The Bible says that by the time Jesus was old enough to have his bar mitzvah that Jesus was so knowledgeable of the scripture at the age of 12, after reasoning with the doctors in the temple for three days, that the learned men of the temple were astonished at him and of his knowledge and wisdom.  Why? Because he had done his homework and he knew the scripture better than they did, upside down and inside out. Why? He said to his mother” wist you not that I must be about my Father’s business upon her inquiry as to where he had been since their return from sojourning to Jerusalem.  Later he stated that His MEAT was to do the Father’s Will and to finish His work. From the Cross JESUS DECLARED IN VICTORY “IT IS FINISHED" !!!! What was finished? His Father's business was finished! His Father's work was finished! HIS MISSION that he had learned since he was a child: to obey GOD and to REDEEM ALL MANKIND!!! IT WAS FINISHED!

I want to point out one other thing that develops here in our understanding of Jesus.  Every time he was tempted, He said IT IS WRITTEN.  He took his authority not from his bloodline, not from who HIS FATHER WAS, but from THE WORD OF GOD.  HE always used that as his standard of AUTHORITY.  The WORD OF GOD WAS JESUS’ AUTHORITY and he wielded it like a sword. That, too, should be our discipline as well.

Look at verse 8.  The devil took Jesus in a moment of time and made a display and showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them and said: I WILL GIVE  YOU all these if you fall down and worship me.  He offered him a bribe to sell out.  JESUS MIND WAS STEELED ON HIS MISSION. He looked up  and said Get they hence Satan, for  It is written “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him alone shalt thou serve”.  He was concerned and FOCUSED on HIS OWN MISSION which was more important than the present distraction.  He internalized this and made His Mission to be his vision for his life.

Satan offered Jesus these kingdoms and the glory of those kingdoms.  How can one  offer  something to someone else if one doesn’t possess it.  If this was not the case (if Satan is not in possession of this dominion which he offered to Jesus ), why didn’t Jesus call him on it and the inherent over reach implied and inherent over stretch in authority implied in such a statement? 

I REST MY CASE. THE GOOD AND EVIL, SPIRITUAL LIGHT AND DARKNESS, the divisive nature of life on this planet, the divided universe and the spiritual battle, here, is all indicative of what I have been stating with regard to the state and condition of life on this planet and now you know the reason why. This has all been confirmed out of all of my life’s experiences, as well.  These are the facts concerning the case.  There is far more detail in the scripture relating to this topic (the book of Job, and Isaiah to name a few: do a word search in a Bible concordance of the word Lucifer, or satan or the “God of this World”) but again God was brief in His address of this topic in the scripture in the Old Testament because there was a limit on what the people had to equip themselves with regard to fighting this spiritual battle.  They could not be outfitted with holy spirit, the gift, until the day it was to be made available, so, in the Old Testament, there was one leader who was the peoples’ interface between man and God and it was upon that member of Israel that God put His spirit.  These were faithful, men of God. That is why there are numerous records of the passing of the mantle from one leader to the next.  These men and only this individual had access to and had the availability to manifest the spirit in 7 manifestations that were available to them. 

In a kidnapping there is a kidnapper, a victim, and a ransom.  The book of Romans and the Book of Hebrews go into great depth regarding all of the facets of the Law that were involved and how Jesus’ life was a perfect payment in sacrifice (see the Passover feast) for the sins of all of the peoples of the world for all of time, to ransom mankind out from this dominion of sin and death (which is this present evil world).  The celebration of Passover that was set up during the Israelites'  stay in Egypt wherein Moses (at the direction of God, his mentor and Lord, brought all the plagues for Pharoah’s rebellion) gave the figure and foreshadowing of the Passover that was to come in the year that Jesus was crucified  wherein he became “the lamb without blemish” that was to be sacrificed once and for all for all mankind, forever.  Everyone is covered, today, now by THE BLOOD OF JESUS and HIS WORK.  Now it is time for everyone to make an informed decision FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR LOVED ONES. 

The protocol of The Passover instituted by Moses foreshadowed the payment of one innocent lamb (the Lamb of God: THIS was the declaration of John the Baptist when he saw Jesus for the first time coming to be baptized: “Behold , the Lamb of God”) for the sins of the whole world: the sacrifice of INNOCENT BLOOD (Remember Judas’ declaration : “For I have betrayed the innocent blood” when Judas returned the money to the Temple that he had received for betraying Jesus) FOR SIN.  This becomes more interesting and relevant now for me to show a couple of other details. 

Leviticus 17:11 states that the LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD.  When did our blood, the blood stream of  mankind become polluted, tainted, spoiled?  It became tainted when Adam and Eve sinned by breaking the one rule that God set up for them in the beginning.  If Adam had not sinned, how long would Adam have lived.  He would have lived forever.  Why?  Because with the Perfect Blood that God originally put in Adam, Adam was not susceptible to sickness, aging, genetic anomaly or dying.  He was not subject to genetic anomalies that cause so many of our diseases that are known today.  Perfect Blood would have kept Adam and Eve’s bodies working in perfect order and time and space would have had no effect at all, ever.  That further explains many other things.  The Bible declares that Adam lived over 900 years.  WHY?  Because prior to the fall,  Adam had a pure bloodstream.  The amount of sin resident in his blood was limited in scope and  therefore less tainted than our bloodstreams today.  How about Noah.  The Bible declares that Noah lived 900+ years.  How about Methuselah.  He also lived 900 plus years.  There is The Companion Bible by E. W. Bullinger, which has many appendixes, one of which shows the lineage of many of these notable figures of history which reveals these ages of these individuals, in depth. How about Jesus?  The Bible declares that Jesus gave up his life on Calvary on that day at Golgotha.  WHY? He had  perfect blood because in Hebrews 2:14, the Bible declares that we (the rest of us) all fully share of the flesh and blood, but Jesus only took(only) part of the flesh and blood of man because upon the conception of Jesus Christ, Joseph, Jesus' step father did not contribute the seed (blood).  The part of the flesh and blood that Jesus only partook of (the word is metecheo; the word for to fully share is koinoneo) was the flesh which was the part that Mary contributed (her egg).  God was the one that contributed the blood which was carried in the seed that Mary received from God by way of her believing and declaration in response to the Angel’s message and declaration to her.  In response to the Angel Gabriel’s message of the promised seed of God, Mary declared (in her believing affirmation): “Be it unto me according to thy word.”  Where do you think the first reference to this Promised Seed is: This promised seed of the woman which was going to bear Perfect Blood which was to constitute the second Adam (that God's Word refers to in the Book of I Corinthians 15:45 -47)? It is in Genesis 3:15. The first prophecy relative to the coming of Jesus Christ, who is the seed of the Woman of Genesis is something God said to Adam and Eve just prior to evicting them from the Garden as if to say  “Kids, all is not lost, I’m making you a promise that ALL IS NOT LOST.  There will come a day when I am going to restore all of mankind to the glory that you had in the Garden and lost”.  But when God repairs something that has fallen from it’s perfect state (this is a pattern that has been established in God’s word repeatedly), when God repairs it, GOD ALWAYS MAKES IT BETTER THAN IT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL CASE.  In light of these sources, we know Jesus began his journey with perfect blood and had he not been crucified in the mission of his LIFE'S CALLING, he would have lived forever because he had untainted blood. THAT BLOOD was spilled for the SINS of ALL MANKIND.

And now Ladies and Gentlemen, without further adieu,  I give you the MORE EXCELLENT WAY, that which God hid from the foundation of the world to deliver us unto UNION, HARMONY, MAJESTY, MAGNIFICENCE, GRANDEUR, hidden from all mankind for all time and from satan; the most awesome MOBILE DEVICE EVER DEVISED backed by the PLAN AND THE STRATEGY OF THE AGES: THE MYSTERY; but first an aside: a brief word about our Redeemer and LORD. 

Remember Jesus’ statement about John the Baptist.

Matthew 11: 11

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:

Jesus held John in the highest regard.

John was a prophet that hailed the coming of the Lord Jesus and was his herald that went before him, who said “I am not worthy to tie the latchet of your sandals”.  John was known of Isaiah the prophet who referred to him in Isaiah 40:3.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

John was also known to the prophet Malachi:   Malachi 3:1

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

John was a prophet that hailed the coming of the Lord Jesus and was his herald that went before him, who said “I am not worthy to tie the latchet of your sandals”.  
    
That is a declaration of a man of HONOR AND MAJESTY.  It is also an indication of John's humility.   What happened to John? He was  beheaded by the king. Why?  Because he walked with God and John obeyed God. John was a Prophet.  John publicly verbally attacked the authority in the area where he lived.  That authority was King Herod.

There is a pattern here I want to look at.   

Leviticus 18:13;16 forbids a man marrying his brother's wife, if the brother is alive.  Neither can a man marry other close relatives such as a niece or aunt.  This was considered incest. The woman Herod was married to was previously married to Herod’s brother and Herodias was also niece to Herod and niece to Herod’s brother.  WHY DID JOHN GO ON THE ATTACK? His mission as Jesus' Herald was complete? Is there a pattern here?  Is this an example that John followed as a matter of listening to his Father, God, and obeying God in the pattern of obedience, to establish a pattern that would also be a pattern for Jesus to observe (and to be aware of and to follow?) John’s attack was in effect a trigger.  His attack on King Herod was a catalyst that landed him in prison and resulted in his eventual execution. How many other prophets were executed in history?  Plenty.  I am thinking out loud here but it is worthy of our attention and this is why.  Look at John Chapter 8.  Jesus lived in a theocracy that was subordinate to Rule by the Romans.  The Jews had their own legal system and courts that were administered by officials of and working with the Sanhedrin and under the authority of the Temple, which was in effect the seat of the Jewish religion and legal system.  It was a theocracy.

Jesus and you and I live in a space time continuum which is linear in sequence.  If you look at Moses’ ministry, early when he was forty, God met him and revealed many things about the future and delivering the people in Egypt from slavery but God did not show Moses any of the stuff after ward until each circumstance arose requiring answers.  We need to understand God’s way and do things God’s way which means we must learn to hear His voice, see His vision that He has to share with us, TRUST GOD, and act accordingly(by obeying), learn to be obedient day in and day out no matter how much of the future He divulges or doesn’t divulge to us.  God knows the future and that is enough, we do not know the future because if we did, we would not go forward (there).  Here is an example for those of you who have children or who have had children.  If you are contemplating having a child, and could add up the costs, see all the emotional hurts, ups and downs or an unwanted separation or divorce up the road, you MIGHT never do it.  Perhaps we would never get married. That would have defeated God’s plan to replenish the earth.
   

Jesus walked this way in a linear fashion and, God had all the foreknowledge and revealed the future to Jesus as was necessary and piece by piece. We are on a need to know basis (sometimes) and it is wiser for us to move in day tight compartments with God than to know everything. We don’t need to know everything but God is able to give us cookies when we need them.  I said all that to say this.  In the plan of redemption, it was required that a sacrifice be provided (see Abraham/Isaac for foreshadowing of the human sacrifice that was coming in  Genesis 22). Anything less or short of the consumption and execution of this complete sacrifice culminating in the death of that one (unblemished lamb) offered would have legally fallen short of the requirements to accomplish perfected redemption by this sacrifice. The consummation of this process and event was Deliberate and carried out in that emphasis. (All of the following synonyms for the word DELIBERATE are relevant:   intentional, calculated, conscious, intended, planned, studied, knowing, willful, purposeful, purposive, premeditated, preplanned)

Have we ever heard of this in other times and cultures?  Counterfeiting Copy Cats- where did this idea (of sacrificial offering) originate and why? It was original with the Lord, God; once accomplished, it was done and finished once and for all to fulfill the figure established by Moses in the law embodied in the pattern of the Passover feast.  That meant that someone was going to be that sacrifice and was going to die.  The blood had to be of the purest unblemished lamb (that is why there is so much emphasis in the Bible on Lineage(s) and no marrying of outsiders to the flock of Israel in order to keep the bloodline pure; that may also be the reason for the inclusion of the lineage of both Joseph and Mary in the books of Matthew and Luke).

That meant that the person elected for the mission had to die, nothing less would do.

John 15:13:    Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

*HE IS MY BLOOD AND HE IS YOUR BLOOD John 3:16:  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.   So, we all may as well reap the full benefit of BEING the beneficiaries of HIS spilled BLOOD by making HIM, OUR OWN. HE IS GOD’S GIFT TO US, SO WE MIGHT AS WELL GET WITH GOD’S PROGRAM and RECEIVE HIM INTO OUR HEARTS!!! *  RECEIVE GOD'S GIFT OF LIFE that LASTS FOR EVER!!!
(That is the greatest friendship,  I have ever known!!!!THIS IS THE GREATEST LOVE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!!!)

At some point in Jesus’ ministry and mission and walk of obedience, there would have to be a pivotal point in time and place with the correct persons, specifically, where Jesus would have to spring a trap, a snare if you will, by playing on the weakness and vulnerability of the enemy (this isn’t shadow boxing; this is a contest to win IT ALL for ALL time on behalf of ALL mankind and I AM TALKING GETTING ALL IN in such a way as to catalyze the reaction on the part of the opponent to match and bring the opponent to the point of decision TO GET ALL IN AS WELL!!! WHY??? Because of the statement I just made and which I am gong to repeat again, right now). 

Anything less or short of the consumption and execution of this complete sacrifice culminating in the death of that one (unblemished lamb) offered would have legally fallen short of the requirements to accomplish perfected redemption by this sacrifice.

Now, let us continue.

Jesus is not God and therefor has no foreknowledge.  God is presenting it (word of knowledge, word of wisdom) to him, like all the other prophets before him and Jesus is getting what he needs as he needs it as God LOVINGLY POURED OUT the INTEL as required.   

The sequencing is amazing here. So here we go.  Jesus is setting the trap, by being obedient. He is following his inspiration within the words that God is giving within the framework of his working knowledge of the scripture (truth) and the inspiration that God is giving him on a minute to minute basis and his obedience to the guidance that He is being given by God, the Father. 

I am going to take you to John 8 but first I have to show you a couple of other stops on the way.  When Jesus called his apostles, who were to become his inner circle, who he was personally going to train in the leadership principles, who was showing him and confirming with him who to call to him? God, His Father, was showing him.  So when Jesus called Judas, he was continuing on his train of obedience.  God has foreknowledge, Jesus does not.  What was Judas’s job?  He held the bag meaning that he was the treasurer and he, Judas, was appointed overseer of the money, treasurer.  Later on, in the discourse about Judas’ death, we find out that he bought a field, which they called the field of blood.  Now, we know that after his betrayal, Judas went back to the temple and cast the 30 pieces of silver into the temple(the betrayal money) and said I have betrayed the innocent blood (at no time in history or any time to come will there be a reference so apt and significant relative to Jesus Christ).

So where did Judas get the money to buy a field (land)?  He stole it from the treasury (the bag). God knew Judas was a thief, who had vulnerability, as relating to Judas's financial goals which were his priority.  

Luke 22:   1Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 2And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

3Then entered Satan into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 6And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

I want you to pay specific attention to the highlighted part of verse 2 above because I am going to come back to that in a moment  because I want to identify for you who I think these people are who the chief priests and scribes were afraid of (why would they, the chief priests and scribes of the temple authority, be afraid of anyone??? HELLO??!!! They ran this operation: they were the TOP officials of THIS RULING BODY!!!?? HELLO???).

Here we have, Judas who was called by Jesus to follow him (who, Judas, is  a thief) and who had the vulnerability to bribery (because he has trust issues relative to his daily bread and God being able to meet his needs) the vulnerability to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, which Judas plans to add to his IRA which he, Judas, is quickly growing for his retirement.  Judas has one foot in the work of the ministry, and one foot on a beach some where, groovy, for an undisclosed time in the future.  Judas is strategically right in the perfect place to contribute to THE PLAN that is being activated and now going live.

In John 11 there is a passage where Jesus goes (after 3 days had passed) to get to Lazarus and at the home of him and his two sisters, finds that Lazurus is dead, and Jesus prays out loud outside the tomb in which Lazarus was lain and thanks God and then orders Lazarus to arise and Jesus raised him from the dead and in the following verses, we glean some more information:

45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.

Jesus is doing a lot of miracles and then the word gets to this insider Temple group  (the Pharisees) that Jesus raised someone from the dead. (Uh oh)!!!

47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 53Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

54Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.

Now we have Caiaphas who is an insider's insider, the high priest, who apparently on this day is a BELIEVING BELIEVER and a prophet who is going to work on the inside of this organization (of the Temple Authority) as a proponent of Jesus death and execution based on Biblical prophecy and God working in Caiaphas via the manifestation of prophecy (a manifestation of holy spirit listed in I Corinthians chapter 12).

Before we get into John 8, I want to describe to you what I have witnessed in large swaths of people in organizations that have similar traits(commonalities) that make them part of a group. There are conservatives moderates and extremists, speaking in general terms but what we are going to see in the following verses brings into view a fourth group of people who are reflective of that society and they are still with us today.  They look like everyone else and talk like everyone else but because of who they are and their access to the God of this World ( you should know by now: who is the god of this world?), they very often wind up being very influential and just like then, today, they like to work behind the scenes to accomplish things using agents to do their dirty work. They like secret societies and belong therein and network with one another to geometrically increase their wealth (power and influence) and attempt to prosecute secret agendas through utilizing money, banking, and politicians to wrest control of strategic segments of government and society as well as influence the press as well as the media (and therefore public opinion).

On the day of the record which follows here in John 8,  Jesus is in confrontation first with Scribes and Pharisees in one incident early in John 8 at the temple where he goes early to teach. Later, he is again confronted by Pharisees in the treasury and in verse 20, it states that no man laid hands on him because his hour was not come (he departed, unencumbered).  Then he comes again to the Temple a third time as opportunity allowed for it.

I believe because of the phrases entailed and the other things we are seeing in the stars and the prophecies related to his star, that God’s plan was carried out with exacting precision relative to the timing of specific incidents and strategic placement of individuals who will all contribute to the effective execution of God’s plan.

Evidently, Jesus went back into the temple where he had just been threatened earlier with bodily injury and or incarceration. Verse 22 begins “Then said the Jews“; there is no  mention of Pharisees; there is no  mention of Scribes hereafter; just lay people: Jews.  All the way down to verse 58, it refers to the people that are having the discourse with Jesus as Jews. However, it is quite a little discourse between these (Jews) people and Jesus. As a matter of fact, I would go so far as to say that Jesus, took off the gloves on this group of people and GOD WORKING IN HIM, HE WAS PUMMELING THEM RIGHT WHERE their vulnerability lay, as Jesus simply spoke the truth.  HE CALLED THEM WHAT THEY WERE AND WAS EXPOSING THEM RIGHT THERE IN THE TEMPLE and JUST DRIVING HIS SWORD FURTHER IN and THEN TWISTING IT ON THEM (I am referring to the Sword of the Spirit which Ephesians 6 refers to as the WORD OF GOD and did JESUS EVER KNOW HOW TO SWING THAT SWORD: HE WAS WELL VERSED, MY FRIENDS, as we all should be; God  has called us to be SOLDIERS in discipline and heart according to Ephesians 6). Jesus called these (Jews) people OUT IN A VERY BOLD MANNER AND PUBLICLY IN FRONT of another group that was there listening to Jesus.

WHY did Jesus go about his discourse with this group in this manner?  OUT OF OBEDIENCE, INSPIRATION, STRATEGY, TIMING and BALANCE.  I believe that these were blood thirsty greed driven demon possessed sons of the devil (WHY DO I SAY THAT? Because these word are "INSPIRATION OF GOD" ,GOD BREATHED WORDS, words of TRUTH which clearly bear this out) who were, just as in our society, influential enough to curry favor by their contributions to the treasury(of the Synagogue/ Temple) to be able to influence policy in that THEOCRACY, who in effect had perverted the heart of what this Organization was set up to do for the people (WHICH PEOPLE? : GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE, ISRAEL) and completely perverted it to serve only the ends of the policies that these ‘Jews’ (special interest group) were fomenting for purposes of self aggrandizement, power, and control (does this sound familiar? It should if you have been awake and paying attention today's times and current events). 

These are the same group which parallels the banking syndicate which is pouring money into politicians’ pockets today through (bribery) Lobbying to own GOVERNMENT and through  interlocking networks in Banking and bribery and the IMF, as well as other international organizations (Loaning money , pushing debt , causing countries to default and then extracting INFRASTRUCTURE from said countries and putting it on the IMF balance sheet to enable STEERING GOVERNMENT POLICY IN SAID COUNTRIES).   Eventually, they want to bring all these countries by force and debt under the same umbrella and dictate policy globally through the New World Order (THE BEAST).  My brother in Christ, a Phd of International Economics shared with me a term for this looping expanse of banking power and banker political influence. He referred to this as the Snake in the Grass.  But I Digress.

What happened next? Open your eyes and what you will see might really amaze you.

31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 

Jesus was addressing a group, that believed on him, but if you follow the dialogue, it is another group that picks up in verse 33 who begin to answer Jesus, interrupting him.

34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commiteth sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed(context is SIN). 
 37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

(Jesus is contrasting 2 different fathers here, one is the God and Father of the Lord Jesus; the other is the God of this world, satan.  Perhaps he did this for the benefit of the believers, his followers who were present and  listening in).

39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father.  Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus stated their claim of Abraham as their father was not accompanied by the fruit which would be associated with their relationship and claim to Abraham. Jesus just told them their fruit is indicative of who their father is.

Now, they just called Jesus, a bastard (referencing the circumstances of his birth).

42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

 (two fathers identified,  two types of children identified: he describes them as "without love"and deaf to his words. The type people described are with us, as well, in the present; Jesus identifies this group's father, the devil , as a murderer and a liar and the father of lies)

48Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

These  who were opposing Jesus, resort, now, to racial remarks.

Here , we have the pot calling the kettle black, strategy implemented (propaganda, counterintelligence, false flag).

50And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 54Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad (Abraham saw the Hope). 57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember back in the desert when Satan came to tempt Jesus after his fasting. He was  pretty guarded in his discourse then, but here we can see that Jesus has opened up a little and is getting really honest and he is literally speaking to some people who are present who are sons of the devil and He is lighting them up with THE TRUTH.  HE IS LIGHTING THEM UP WITH HIS SWORD (the WORD OF GOD) and you know: THEY HATE HIM.  This is one of the greatest discourses you may ever see because it's not just Jesus PREACHING;  HE IS ACTIVELY SETTING THE TRAP.  HE WENT ALL IN ON THOSE individuals that day WITH GOD'S VERY BEST ( under guidance from the Father) and they (the Jews who He was addressing) just couldn’t help themselves.  This was the swing vote that was brought to bear in all of its ruthlessness and hate and ire which came into play to seal the deal that would ultimately unleash all hell in the following week through false witnesses in the mockery of a trial on trumped up charges which lead to the WORST beating the world has ever seen and then Jesus’ crucifixion.

(Read Psalms 22 (prophecy of Jesus’ tormenting)Isaiah 50.6 Isaiah 52:14).

WHY? WHY DID ALL THAT FALL OUT of the above discourse and  manner with which Jesus spake with these individuals that day? Because those Jews that Jesus angered seized up and went OVERFLOWING IN THE MANIFESTATION OF HATE which JESUS BROUGHT TO A VOLCANO BLOW so that the plan of the ages would be executed and sealed.  He was just being obedient to God and GOD SAID open up that CANNON and GIVE THEM EVERYTHING YOU HAVE GOT.  GIVE THEM THE FULL PAYLOAD.  What Jesus did was an AGGRESSIVE OVERT STRATEGIC ASSAULT OF THE ENEMY to possibly INCITE FIERY WRATHFUL PROVOCATION. WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT???

Anything less or short of the consumption and execution of this complete sacrifice culminating in the death of that one (unblemished lamb) offered would have legally fallen short of the requirements to accomplish perfected redemption by this sacrifice.

Go back up to Luke 22;  Remember the phrase I pointed out to you that I highlighted at the end of verse 2. FOR THEY FEARED THE PEOPLE. Those people that this verse is referring to, I believe, are the same one’s which in the above passage are the ones who were the influential Jews who are the ones who are in the fray with JESUS who God at this  time, permitted Jesus to OPEN FIRE ON with ALL the RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION, TRUTH and FIRE inside of his HEART, SPIRIT, CONSCIOUSNESS, and MIND, and SOUL, and BEING.

At the time of these events, Jesus still didn’t know about the cross; that came about a little later and then in the Garden, when JESUS was aware of the commitment unto DEATH, God and His Son had a Talk and Jesus Elected to Finish HIS MISSION. You need to go into the gospels and read what Jesus Christ UNDERWENT FOR US and what Jesus underwent from Monday of Passover  week to Passover (Wednesday) that year. DO YOU KNOW WHY JESUS DID THAT? The  Bible declares that the beating was so merciless (which went on for two days) that Jesus was not recognizable as a man and then He hung up on that Tree / Cross for hours suffering in pain, subjection, and humiliation.

WHY DID HE DO IT?  WHY DID THE SON OF GOD, THE PRINCE OF PEACE, LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOU AND FOR ME?

IT SAYS IN THE WORD OF GOD that HE DID IT FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM.

Hebrews 12:2 

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I believe HE DID IT because God showed him WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AS A RESULT.  HE DID IT BECAUSE IT SEALED THE FATE OF THE DESTINY OF MANKIND AND GAVE FRUITION TO GOD’S EXIT STRATEGY(for all of us) from the dominion of this crooked and perverse nation Phillipians 2:15 once and for all and for all time.  JESUS PERFECTLY SET THE TRAP,  SNARED THE ENEMY and SEALED THE REDEMPTION PLAN THAT HAD BEEN IN THE WORKINGS IN GOD”S HEART FOR MANKIND EVER SINCE GENESIS 3.  HE DID IT BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU and ME and BECAUSE HE WANTED YOU TO KNOW and HE WANTED ME TO KNOW TRUE WHOLENESS and HE WANTED YOU TO KNOW AND ME TO KNOW REAL FREEDOM.  He did it because he wanted YOU TO HAVE FREEDOM and to OWN YOUR FREEDOM LIKE NO ONE HAS EVER EXPERIENCED IT SO YOU CAN FLY AND LIVE ETERNALLY, and as the poem says FOREVERMORE SOAR!!!!! HE DID IT SO THAT WE COULD, THROUGH THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S LOVE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER AND WITH ONE ANOTHER IN MAJESTY FOR EVER!!!! JESUS CHRIST DID THIS SO GOD COULD HELP YOU BE THE GREATNESS OF ALL THAT GOD IS, TOUCH ALL THE GOOD,  BE ENVELOPED INSIDE AND OUT WITH THE MAJESTY and MAGNIFICENCE of HIS  VIRTUE, HIS LIGHT, HIS POWER, HIS STRENGTH, HIS GOODNESS. HE wanted (WANTS) to HOOK YOU UP. 

Do you want me to share with you, now, what GOD hid from the foundation of the world and kept secret, NOW that you know WHAT IT COST FOR GOD TO BRING IT FOR US AND TO US, the TREASURED GEM of the MYSTERY (the birth of which  was contingent upon THE ACCOMPLISHED REALITY of God’s redemption of all mankind and the PLAN of ITS EXECUTION and the payment of that COST: JESUS’ LIFE).  It cost God everything to make available MY REDEMPTION AND YOUR REDEMPTION and now Ladies and Gentlemen as a result we have: THE MYSTERY, THE MORE EXCELLENT WAY.

Following Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus, there were many revelations that were made known to the Apostle Paul. They compose most of the books in the New Testament.  The Mystery is embedded in several cites and references in those New Testament Epistles.

Ephesians 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

In verse 9 above, I have highlighted and underlined Paul’s reference to the MYSTERY.  All the phrases that I have included prior to that reference, relate to the benefits that have accrued to us and that belong to us as a result of Jesus’s  accomplishment of our redemption. In verse 10, we have a broadening definition of what is included which includes the long term vision of GATHERING TOGETHER in one all things in Christ(which Caiaphas prophesied). Paul is going to expand further on this in the 3rd chapter of Ephesians but in verse 10, Paul uses the word dispensation  which is a reference to the administration that we are living in: “the Age of Grace”, which began on the day of Pentecost  and which age we continue to live in up to the present day and age, which administration will end when Christ returns.  Now in Ephesians chapter 3, Paul begins to open up this bouquet a little further.

Ephesians 3: 1For this cause I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Vs  6 states as clearly as the nose on my face that the DOOR IS NOW OPEN UNTO ALL MY BROTHERS  (Salaam Alaikum )and SISTERS everywhere for all time: ALL MY BROTHERS and SISTERS in THE MIDDLE EAST: ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHINA (BOWING DEEPLY): ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS  IN INDIA (BOWING DEEPLY): ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ALL THE SEVEN CONTINENTS (BOWING DEEPLY)!!!!!! ALL MY BEAUTIFUL BROTHERS and SISTERS are INVITED TO COME but we must all accept HIS INVITATION: MEN, WOMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS!!! I BID YOU THE MOST GRACIOUS WELCOME: GRACE AND PEACE from GOD THE FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS MAJESTY !!!

Here Paul references, once more, the administration to which he is bound.  He clearly states that God made known the mystery (which was hid from all other ages) to him(Paul) by revelation (word of knowledge, word of wisdom) and then Paul declares in specificity that which he generally addressed in verse 10 of Chapter 1 of Ephesians when he stated that God intended to gather together, in one, all things in Christ.  In defining this further, Paul declares that  the heart of the Mystery and God’s hidden plan is that v 6   the Gentiles should be fellowheirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ.  The promise of eternal life is unto all and for all that will believe.  There are now no barriers to entry and the invitation is to all THOSE THAT WILL BELIEVE.  All Nations, Tribes, Tongues.

Originally, God called Abraham and Israel (Jacob) as his chosen people.  Through Moses, they received the ordinances of the law which became the traditions and culture of this people.  God then sent Jesus to fulfill the law which Jesus accomplished and which also consummated our LEGAL REDEMPTION from SIN and THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN and the EVIL present world which is ruled by satan. The new plan, which included the sign and phenomenon of the veil of the temple being rent, ushered in a new offer and opportunity for all the peoples and all cultures and all tongues of the world.

In the former tradition of the law, there was provision for the unbelieving, the uncalled to take place in the ceremony in the temple.  In addition to the Jews, there was a separate seating arrangement for outsiders (gentiles) to participate.  In the Bible, prior to Jesus’ works, there was provision for the Jews and Gentiles, but Gentiles were considered outsiders. In the present definition, the Bible defines three classifications of people in the world which are Jews, Gentiles, and Church of God.   Within the new  plan, God is calling all, everyone, all nations, cultures, peoples and tongues into  the Body of Christ, which is the fullness of Him that filleth all in all. HE is CALLING EVERYONE to HIS CHURCH: THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST.  He opened up the NEW WAY via the work of Christ, to everyone, Jew and Gentile, who will believe--- to become members in particular inside the body of Christ which is God’s Church. 

In verse 10 of Chapter 3 of Ephesians he, Paul, then addresses the principalities and powers in heavenly places, that NOW UNTO THESE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS  might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.  It was from this group primarily that God sought to hide what he was doing and to hide what was GOD’S plan, to hide THE MYSTERY.  Who is this group? Who are these principalities and powers?  Let us look a little further onto the new platform of operations God has set up which Paul is unveiling.  Open to I Corinthians Chapter 2 verse1.

I Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  

In these verses,  Paul establishes that there is a dichotomy between the wisdom that comes from God via the revelation in the scriptures  and the wisdom that is from beneath, aka the wisdom of this world. There are two kinds of wisdom.  Paul also CLAIMS  that the marker that distinguishes between what he is teaching and the wisdom of this world  is the demonstration of the Spirit and of power.   Then Paul states that the wisdom of this world is in Contrast To and In Opposition to THE WISDOM he is expounding and PAUL CLAIMS VIA DIVINE UTTERANCE  that the wisdom of this world proceeds from the princes of this world and that their wisdom comes to nought (it will perish). Then Paul opens to us the discourse further to let in more light and clues to expose posthumously what had most recently happened in the execution of God’s plan for redemption when the people who had the power in Jerusalem betrayed Jesus, shamed him openly, and then put him to death. 

James echoes these sentiments  when by revelation he commits that the wisdom which is from above is  (James 4:17)first pure, then peaceable, gentle , and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. The wisdom which is from beneath, James says   (James 4:15)    descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish (showing wherefrom this wisdom proceeds). 




How many sources for wisdom therefore exist in the world according to scripture????Two.
In I Corinthians 2:7 , Paul says “ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery (which was hid from the foundation of the world) even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: and then he lets SOME BIG LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT OF THE MYSTERY COME SHINING FORTH when he states in verse 8 WHICH NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD KNEW: FOR HAD THEY KNOWN IT, THEY WOULD Not HAVE CRUCIFIED THE LORD OF GLORY.   

 WHO is the LORD OF GLORY?  JESUS CHRIST is THE LORD OF GLORY.

WHO ARE THE PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS, Paul has been referring to?  WHO KILLED JESUS CHRIST?  According to PAUL, these principalities and powers , the “princes of this world” killed Jesus.  For more light on this go to Ephesians 4: 8  Wherefore he saith , When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 ( Now , that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth ?10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things). 

Ephesians 1: 20, 21,22,23  Which he wrought in Christ , when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far  above all principality , and power and might and dominion , and every name that is named no only in this world , but also in that which is to come; And hath put  all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.  

Where was Lucifer sitting when he was expelled from heaven in the overthrow?   (Isaiah)  When Lucifer became God’s archenemy because of his treason, he was cast out of heaven, and his new name is satan.  He is the top dog in the demonic chain of command inside the universe in which you and I live.  It was satan and his minion devil spirits and human minions who had Jesus executed in Jerusalem on Golgotha.  It was satan who was defeated on that great and fateful day when Jesus sealed his fate, suffering the most excruciating DEATH of a criminal, when he gave up his last breath.  It says that when Jesus ascended, that he was seated on God’s own right hand and that HE IS SEATED ABOVE all principality and power and dominion and might and the word of God says that those that he has called who are his brother’s and sisters, who are Christ’s, are seated with him on the right hand of God.  We are seated in the HEAVENLIES WITH HIM ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. THAT IS WHERE OUR SPIRITUAL CITIZENSHIP IS and where our COUNTRY IS. It is also WHERE OUR AUTHORITY as GOD'S SONS and DAUGHTERS PROCEEDS FROM. The Bible says that this is an accomplished reality, now, today, not some maybe day in the future, not when we reach heaven, but right now, today. I John 3;2 Beloved, NOW ARE WE THE SONS OF GOD!!! Ephesians 2: 5,6  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.  Here is another big implication of this work which Jesus referred to prior to his finished work when he was referring to the disciples ‘telling him of their exploits after they returned from their  committed posts where they were sent by Jesus to reach out to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  Jesus response: I saw satan fall from heaven Luke 10 .17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan, as lightning fall from heaven.

There is a spiritual universe. There is a physical universe.  The spiritual forces herein collided some time in the past and this explains so much about what we see and about the division in the universe we live in and the spiritual battle pitched here.  His disciples went forth speaking the truth that Jesus taught them and according to Jesus spiritual perception and awareness, he was moved to make the declaration of Luke 10:18 (above).

Let us now return to I Corinthians 2:8:

Had the princes of this world known the mystery …..THEY WOULD NOT HAVE CRUCIFIED the Lord of GLORY …… WHY?????? Because of what is in the verses that follow in Colossians.  Again Paul takes up his discourse on his connection to the Administration in which he has been made a minister of God of which the heart is the MYSTERY which has been hidden from ages; and now God is revealing to Paul who is revealing to the Church what is the riches of the glory of the mystery.  

Colossians  1: 25Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; 26Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

The door is now open to ALL, men, women, boys and girls, Jews and Gentiles and all of the benefits that go with it to each and every individual who chooses to believe on the name of Jesus, the Lord who is Risen from the dead: the riches of the glory of the mystery among the gentiles:  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU,  THE HOPE OF GLORY.

Sit there and just  let the greatness of what has just come to you sink in .

YOU HAVE CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY !!!! when you confess Jesus as your LORD and believe that God raised him from the dead .

CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.

It is Christ’s eyes behind your eyes; it is Christ’s hands behind your hands; It is Christ’s heart behind your heart.  It is God’s love in your heart.   It is the righteousness of God in your heart.  It is the goodness of God enveloping you from here to eternity.

How many places could Jesus be when he walked the face of the earth? ONE.  He could only be in one place.  How many places can Christ be today.  As many places as there are believers with Christ in them.   How many places can Christ be and the efficacy of the power of God working? As many places as there are believers who know what they got in Christ when they got born again and STAND UPON THAT FOUNDATION and declare the TRUTH, just like Jesus did when he walked the face of the Earth.  Jesus said before he left in John 14:12: He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my father.

How many places can Christ be today?  As many as there are informed believers who know their sonship rights and know how to walk in God’s power and know the truth and HOLD GOD’S WORD HIGH as the sword that it is and cut old satan’s earballs off, cut him to shreds with the authority vested in us known in the renewed mind and manifested in the senses realm according to the inspiration and revelation God is giving.

CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY .

What does this mean?  It means that you and I have the power and enablements  which God gave by virtue of Jesus accomplishments to walk just like Jesus Christ walked with the same results because of what God put in us by virtue of our confessing Jesus as Lord and believing God raised Jesus from the dead.  It is everything God has wanted for man since the beginning and now it is a deliberate GENEROUS offer and NO BRAIN ACCEPTANCE on the part of mankind because of all God’s benefits that He wrought into this gift of holy spirit which is unto all and for all WHO WILL BELIEVE THIS PROMISE.   I have God’s gift of holy spirit in me.  It is holy and it is spirit.  I am a son of God with all power in the family of God with eternal life seed dwelling inside me. I invite you to join me NOW and welcome you into the KINGDOM.  Romans 10:9,10 states 

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This is the KEY to SALVATION.  It is our individual responsibility to turn the key by following our instructions above.  HAVE YOU DONE THIS???? NOW would be a good time to do so.

I have 5 sonship rights and I have the capacity to operate 9 manifestations of God’s holy spirit (the gift); (these manifestations are listed in I Corinthians 12:7ff) inside me which manifestations and walk in the spirit produce signs miracles and wonders in my life.

WHY? Because of God’s plan for redemption of Mankind and Christ’s execution of that plan that resulted in the plan of the ages for YOUR REDEMPTION coming to pass. WHY?  BECAUSE OF CHRIST’S LOVE AND DEVOTION TO YOU AND ME AND BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE AND DEVOTION AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD.

CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU,  THE HOPE OF GLORY.  CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. 

It will take eternity to touch, scratch the surface of these benefits and so we should begin by getting acquainted with what God gave us and begin to walk inside these PROTOCOLS OF FREEDOM of which one is to be able to walk in the LOVE OF GOD (I II III  John Epistles) everyday and be surrounded by others in the family of faith that also live and walk in and share this love with each other every day.  How about the peace that passes understanding living inside your heart.  No more enmity, no more separation from God. NO MORE GUILT! NO MORE DOUBT ! NO MORE TORMENT! Just love, forgiveness and mercy.  GLORY HALLELUJAH! PRAISE GOD!!! AMEN!!!!

THERE IS GREATNESS HERE.  Look up and behold the magnificence and the grandeur, majesty, splendor in all the UNIVERSE (which goes on for ever) DISPLAYED.   It is the PICTURE and EPITOME of all the Qualities of God’s Depth, Vastness, Intricacy, Complexity, Beauty and Wonder, Wisdom, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Mastery, Victory, Eminence, Regalia , and  Exquisiteness.  God wanted to give all of what He is in his Superlative nature and Dynamic being that would match the Grandeur of everything that you can see with your naked eyes when you look up.  He wanted to match all that BREATHTAKING WONDER inside the Gift of all eternity that He chose for you when he made the mystery and made it available to HOOK YOU UP.  YOU ARE NOW HOOKED UP to the Fountain of Living Waters ( Jeremiah 2:13) and GOD (inside the gift of holy spirit) accomplished this in order that that life giving source would be born inside of you ( For as Jesus said “Out of your belly SHALL flow rivers of living water John 7: 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water/ AGAIN THAT WORD SHALL IS THE ABSOLUTE TENSE; Absolutes are something that are God’s territory exclusively).  All the Greatness of God in God’s DNA is locked up in the mystery and it is God’s PLAN OF THE AGES (which was hid from all mankind for all time) and GOD’S will is that you have all of this greatness and majesty in all it’s dynamics in all it’s REGALIA alive inside you and growing in you and that it crystallize and be magnified in your being from now throughout all the days of your life and forever. IT”S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND SOME THINKING ON YOUR PART TO TAKE IN and DIGEST WHAT I AM SHARING WITH YOU AND FOR IT TO GEL WITHIN YOU!!!!!  JUST SIT THERE AND TAKE IT IN !!!! HOW GOOD IS OUR GOD ???!!!!!

If you are like me when I heard this teaching, My JAW JUST DROPPED and I TOOK IT ALL IN.  IT'S NOT TOO GREAT!!!  IT IS WHAT GOD ORDAINED FOR ME AND FOR YOU through the work of Christ for US to walk in and have OUR being inside of.  ENDUED (CLOTHED UPON ) WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH Luke 24:49

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
(the word endued from Luke 24:49 indicates that we are naked without this covering)!!!!!  We don’t have to be ignorant or naked anymore !!!!!!!!Glory to God in the HIGHEST.   We are everything that He says that we are, we have everything that He says that we have and we will be what His Word declares that we will be!!!!! BE IT UNTO ME, LORD, ACCORDING TO THY WORD!!!!! That was Mary’s declaration when the Angel came and delivered the message of the coming of the baby Jesus.  We should follow her example and confess that WE are HERE to receive everything that GOD has to DELIVER UNTO US in enablements and provision for our successful SOJOURN HERE in the VENUE OF THE MORE ABUNDANT LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS.  

I’m signing up for all that He has for me.  Jesus paid for me to have ALL OF THE ABOVE.  It is my honor to follow HIM and take on as much as He can Deliver into my life and hand in order that I might share this life with others.  

To summarize,  I have shared with you the importance of The Hope and that that hope is directly related to the return of  Christ  and that this force is a huge catalyst in the lives of balanced and committed believers.  It is by way of this catalyst that decisions in commitment to Follow The Master are made.

I have shared how the hope of the mystery (coming) was the motivation that Jesus received in order to finish his mission and that as a result of His obedience that GOD produced our accomplished redemption in Jesus’s victory over death and the enemy and that God was able to institute a new program with a big surprise inside of this New Will and that at the heart of that NEW WILL FOR ALL MANKIND  is the MYSTERY.   

In my estimation, God’s gift that he made available because of Christ’s obedience is the Mountaintop.   In my estimation, and because of the fact that, often, Jesus told his disciples to look up, I believe that everything that God is and the magnificence of GOD is reflected in CREATION; creation that we can witness everyday.  All of that Grandeur, Magnificence, and Majesty which we behold when we look up is unmatched by what God put in the mystery and in the new birth which he gave on the day of Pentecost and which is available and has been available every day since that day and for which reason He is calling all of us to join him.

We are coming to the end of the AGE of Grace and there are signs that are already apparent that are coming in the heavens and in the earth that point to HIS SOON COMING. Therefore, we must remain vigilant and WATCH and BE THRILLED and we are also enabled with all enablements so that we may reach out in compassion to a dying world IN THE LOVE OF GOD for the furtherance of  FREEDOM in the LIVES of others by sharing the good news as we are headed toward our appointment with DESTINY, THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!

Is God calling you out? Do you hear God calling out your name? If you are hearing this teaching, HE is calling you to join HIM. You are the only one who has the capacity to answer HIM and to answer the call.  He has known you from before the foundation of the world and He knows every hair and has accounted for every hair on your head.  He Loves us beyond our imagination’s ability to take it in.  We just need to make a little room for Him to begin to get into our hearts and our lives by taking heed to His patterns and getting inside His Light and sharing this LOVE LIFE with our Brothers and Sisters in the GREATEST FELLOWSHIP THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN IN THE FAMILY OF GOD!!! 

Romans 10:9,10  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
 
"Innocent Blood"......".the Lamb without Blemish" : THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST for YOUR UNWAVERING STAND in TRUTH AND YOUR INTEGRITY in CARRYING OUT YOUR MISSION FOR US of OBEDIENCE and OUR REDEMPTION in becoming our substitute and THE SACRIFICE for the SINS OF THE WORLD FOR ALL OF US FOR ALL TIME ; THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND COURAGE for BEING ABOUT YOUR FATHER"S BUSINESS and FINISHING HIS WORK. THANK YOU GOD for your GOODNESS and YOUR PLAN and YOUR DELIVERANCE and THE GIFT OF YOUR SON who HAS MADE US FREE!!!!!FREE FROM SIN and it's consequences; FREE FROM THE DOMINION OF THIS WORLD , a crooked and perverse nation. THANK YOU FOR ALL OUR FORBEARS that have delivered unto us the MESSAGE OF YOUR SALVATION in these last days. THANK YOU FATHER , for opening the DOORS , THAT ALL MEN, WOMEN, BOYS. AND GIRLS may ALL COME in TO BE PART OF YOUR AMAZING PLAN AND FAMILY, NOW by confessing the verses above Romans 10:9,10.

HEBREWS 2:14-17 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he (Jesus)also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;15 And deliver them (US) who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.17 Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
That is an accomplished reality. HE DID THAT so that we could LIVE ; all we have to do is accept the gift that HE PAID FOR US TO RECEIVE..... Now it is time to RECEIVE HIS GIFT!!!! THIS IS LOVE!!!!!! THIS IS GOODNESS!!!! THIS IS FREEDOM!!!! THIS IS WHERE FREEDOM CAME FROM!!! 

For more information regarding learning  about our  WALK IN THE SPIRIT,  google    ONE DAY WITH THE CREATOR and begin to study about what you received in the new birth which now lives in you.  Learn of what you  have in Christ as a SON or DAUGHTER OF GOD and begin to PUT THIS LIFE ON in your  mind by accessing this knowledge.

BUT THERE IS MORE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS!!!
WHAT FOLLOWS IS THRILLING TO MY SOUL AS GOD JUST KEEPS BRINGING MORE GOOD NEWS AND THIS IS FROM THE HEAVENS AGAIN!!!

AND NOW THIS ; The following is a reference to a FINANICIAL NEWS SITE:  USA WATCHDOG....In it's contents are the surmisings of a DATA MINER ( someone who mines and interprets data on the internet). In the process of his discourse, he begins to speak about all of THE CHATTER coming through on ANTARTICA (there are intermittent references to SCIENCE FICTION,  redefining our past, etc , etc, etc.  I believe the internet has widespread use from government and  banking and this guy has tapped into something like Police Scanner Radio for the internet, where he is picking up on much data from  POWERS IN HIGH PLACES.  My FOCUS on his details have to do with ANTARTICA and what the elites are doing there and Kerry and Obama etc etc.  I listened to this two nights ago ( I would not suggest you to listen to the whole podcast; only the emphasis that he is putting on Antartica because of the presence of the data and the size and his emphasis on this specific data relating to Antartica. 
http://usawatchdog.com/2017-predictions-on-trump-gold-silver-housing-stocks-bonds-antarctica-clif-high/
THEN YESTERDAY ( the very next day after seeing Clif High's presentation on USA Watchdog with Greg Hunter) I GOT TO LISTEN TO THIS which really shed more LIGHT on what the elites are actually doing IN ANTARTICA and WHY!!! Why are they down there (6 countries) participating in a celestial observatory? ( THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES relative to how I came into awareness of these two cites which came to me like bookends, stacked right next to one another, one day upon another and in the sequence in which they came  !!!!)

The following are  other reference material from valuable sources on the Revelation 12:1,2 sign and I encourage everyone of you to familiarize  with this information then to consider the admonition below. 
I  am sharing the following videos in the following sequence on Twitter everyday:

Following the above sequence I am sharing ablever7.blogspot.com and ablever11.blogspot.com

This, I believe, enables the viewer to gain a global view and a dynamic one of  THE GRANDEUR OF GOD'S PLAN and THAT WHICH GOD IS DOING RIGHT NOW.  GOD HAS DONE THE HEAVY LIFTING and I BELIEVE HE HAS GIVEN US THE OPPORTUNITY to PARTICIPATE IN THIS MAGNIFICENT WORK by sharing this vision and thereby fulfilling the mandate to LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR.    

Anyone can use the videos I have listed above  to tell this story. THIS IS REAL NEWS!  IT IS THE GOOD NEWS !! IT IS THE GREATEST NEWS!!  THIS IS A REAL SCOOP: IT IS THE GREATEST NEWS OF THE HOUR , WEEK, MONTH, YEAR, DECADE, OF THE CENTURY , OF THE LAST TWO MILLENNIA. THE WORLD AND THE GOD OF THIS WORLD ARE SUPPRESSING THIS GREAT NEWS AND THE WONDER OF WHAT GOD IS DOING !!!
IF WE DO NOT TELL THIS STORY, WHO IS GOING TO TELL THIS STORY????
IF NOT YOU, WHO ?? IF NOT NOW, WHEN???? LET US GO STAND AND SPEAK ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE. AND MAY GOD OPEN DOORS OF UTTERANCE and MAY GOD GUIDE OUR PATHS and BE IN OUR HEARTS and IN OUR MOUTHS and MAY THE COURAGE OF THE LORD in HIS DEAR LOVE be present and alive in us as witness to HIS WONDERFUL GOODNESS. WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST: WE ARE ALL HIS AMBASSADORS and HE HAS ENABLED EVERYONE OF US WITH THE SPIRIT WHICH HE PUT IN US when we became born again.  PHILIPPIANS 4:13 states I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENETH ME!!!  HE WILL LEAD THE WAY FOR HE IS WITH US and in us !!!.  IF GOD BE FOR US , WHO CAN BE  AGAINST US!!








This is the latest uncovering of a sign in the heavens that has great bearing on the verses in Revelation 12: 1-5 and its reflection of the gathering together at Christ's return, known to some and addressed by some as the rapture. 

I want you to take your time and nourish yourself on these videos and see what God is doing in the signs in the  heavens.

The following is a song that is appropriate for us to share with you.

Family of God

I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God, I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood! Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this road, For I'm part of the family, The Family of God. You will notice we say "brother and sister" 'round here, It's because we're a family and these are so near; When one has a heartache, we all share the tears, And rejoice in each victory in this family so dear. I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God, I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood! Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this road, For I'm part of the family, The Family of God. From the door of an orphanage to the house of the King, No longer an outcast, a new song I sing; From rags unto riches, from the weak to the strong, I'm not worthy to be here, but praise God I belong! I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God, I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His Blood! Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this road, For I'm part of the family, The Family of God

Aside:
Some are going to object to this discourse and what I am about to say.   Mathew 7:1 states "Judge not that ye be not Judged".   God's mercy in my life could comprise a book and it did comprise a book and I have brought you the BEST OF THAT condensed into that which BECAME AND IS THE FOUNDATION OF MY LIFE. This came about as a result of and is on account of ALL MY MISTAKES: ALL MY SINS that lead to my UNDOING.  GOD'S WORK IN MY LIFE is a monument to HIS LOVE, HIS FORBEARANCE, and HIS GOODNESS.  HIS GOODNESS TRANSFORMED me from a BROKEN HEAP on account of my looking at his GOODNESS which became and IS bigger and more important than all my errors or my past, or all my traumas and the emotional upheaval and hurt which accompanied me.  I remind myself of Paul's statements, here.  He said he was the least in the body of CHRIST and the Kingdom because he persecuted the CHURCH (we all have a tendency to magnify our error/sin {in pride}; GOD'S LOVE AND MERCY and GOD’S FORGIVENESS IS BIGGER than our mistakes or our pride which pride has a way of cleaving to the error; pride serves as a counterfeit cover; false clothing to cover nakedness).  Paul was wrong but Paul wasn't beyond identifying, in honesty, his failings and getting in alignment with GOD'S PLAN, GOD'S WAY.   He used his intelligence in context of  GETTING HONEST to DECIDE TO REPENT and TO MOVE FORWARD into NEWNESS.  HE PROGRESSED in UNION with HIS NEW ENLIGHTENMENT and was purged through God's merciful forgiveness of his fault and his past, as he accepted God's forgiveness and God's precious gift of new birth.

Not unlike Paul,  I am compelled to move forward with the compassion God lead me into and, with my head and heart, WILL GOD'S GOODNESS to flow from this FORMERLY BROKEN AND DESTITUTE SOUL(me) in order that I MIGHT HELP my reader in any way possible.          
For those of you who are feeling resistance, search your souls and define the reason for THE RESISTANCE and LET IT GO. Truth is based ON LOGIC. FOLLOW HONESTLY YOUR HEART after doing your due diligence. For some of you the reason for your objection is THAT YOU ARE IN NEED OF REPENTING of YOUR SIN and THE FORMER LIFE AND WALK THAT YOU HAVE WALKED: IN DARKNESS in your former conversation (behavior);  GO AND SIN NO MORE was Jesus' admonition to the adulteress that the pharisees wanted to stone. That is my admonition. GO AND SIN NO MORE!!! GODSPEED BELOVED!!! I CALL YOU BELOVED because I EMPATHETICALLY and BY GRACE (only) now stand with you and for you and for YOUR GOOD and FOR YOUR BEST OUTCOMES.

Some of you who are hearing this are AWE STRUCK and You ARE AMAZED and YOU, as many of us in the past before you, ARE NOW REVELLING in what you are seeing and what God is doing in your life and within the specter of HOW TRUTH has now LIGHTED IN YOUR PATH.  After you have had some time to take this in and contemplate the contents of this passage ;  after you have taken some time to bask in the wonder of  what you have witnessed,  you will want to go back and to consult these pages for more illumination wherein you may be nourished and filled as well as quenched.  Then you will as Kevin Hart suggests,  ask yourself  WHAT NOW?    May I suggest that you consult with the purveyors of  ONE DAY WITH THE CREATOR and begin to take on more instruction as to what you have received and HOW TO PUT THAT WHICH YOU HAVE RECEIVED ON IN YOUR MIND with regard to YOUR NEW ENABLEMENTS  in order to bring them into utilization in your life. 

May I also suggest, in addition, that you consider the following verses in relationship to objectives you may establish in relationship to YOUR NEW REALM OF ENLIGHTENMENT  within your new found understanding with regard to the HOPE OF THE RETURN OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.  

THERE is a VERSE  which I want to direct your attention to which we should all read NOW and WE SHOULD ALL BE AWARE OF IT in it's implications.

WHY?  Because time is running out, for people we know who do not know this message.

II Timothy 4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

*We are watching the evidence in the signs in the heavens and signs in the earth and we have    a red alert!!!

Matthew 22:1-10 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,² The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,³ And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.⁴ Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.⁵ But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:⁶ And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.⁷ But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.⁸ Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.⁹ Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.¹⁰ So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

 IS IT time to go FIND THOSE OTHER GUESTS?

Luke 10: 1After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Pray the Lord of the Harvest that He send more Laborers.

Luke 21: 28

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

It is already time to Look Up because our REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH  and now we need to reach out laterally, if only to share this information with our Brother's and Sister's so that they may become aware.   Is it possible for us to simply share this with our friends and loved ones and to share Scotti Carke's work of Unprecedented Precision, This is going to be Huge,  and God's Road Map to the End Part I and Part 2(from another unnamed source)? 

 We are never going to have an opportunity like this again to LOVE and REACH OUT, THE LORD working with us (IN THE SPIRIT) and in THE SIGNS AND WONDERS HE IS WORKING IN THE HEAVENS as WITNESS to this GREAT EVENT IN FRONT OF US.  Something is happening and God is at the center of it and God is the ONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT GROWTH and  GIVING THE INCREASE.  OUR JOB IS TO LOVE AND SHARE. We need to Pray and Thank the Father for opening our hearts and opening doors of utterance to share the Gospel with the lost, with the hurt,  with the oppressed, with the blind, that they, too, may be able to share with us in this BEAUTIFUL THING WHICH GOD IS DOING RIGHT NOW IN FRONT OF ALL OF US IN THE HEAVENS. 

But GOD GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION to draw MEN, WOMEN, BOYS, and GIRLS back to him.

II Corinthians 5: 17-21 ¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.¹⁸ And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;¹⁹ To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.²⁰ Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.²¹ For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Romans 10: ¹³ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.^{1
This is a repeating by Paul of  that which JOEL prophesied  with regard to  THIS BANNER REPRESENTING THE AGE OF GRACE !! THIS IS OUR BANNER!!
