the fine gold is the saints of Israel whose Love is tried in baptism of fire to the death mostly ...
Exodus 25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold...
1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
- the eye-salve is the holy spirit of course - John 16:13 - Jesus promise that he died to bring the Truth 100% pure straight from God for all the few saints so they could
see why Love is the only way that works in the end :-
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.
the white garments are the new covenant with Israel given by God through Jeremiah to Israel -Jer 31:31-34 - by which the few are forgiven PAST sins when they repent fully after spirit baptism reveals all their sins to them [bu note one cannot receive spirit baptism if one has the desire to sin or sins against one's conscience, it is not until one stops all sin one knows that God reveals ALL other sins one is hiding from acknowledging so that one can fully repent and stop sinning altogether , begin obeying God and Christ by Loving all folks instead of abusing with sins... few will do this in this life [Jude 1:14] ... that is to say about one in three million alive today are saints of God following Jesus Christ ... most folks never stop sinning in their whole lives and there is no point in repenting and confessing if one does not stop abusing people, one is just conning oneself, one is not sorry enough at all if one won't stop ...Jesus has said he will take none still sinning [or who died still sinners whose Love is untrialled in life ... clearly it is nothing like enough to say a few words on one's death-bed, Love has to be proven in baptism of fire to show one is not kidding oneself as well as others
1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the
fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost
and with fire:
one's 'nakedness'before God is one's sin one has not stopped abusing fellow man with, disobeying God's and Jesus' command to Love all... you may think God does not see it , but we are all naked to God in our sin, need to put on grace, garments of white to hide PAST sins ... else death is the wages of sin and frees us that way [Rom 6:7], but God requires from THIS life the FEW pure saints to rule Jesus' kingdom , so there is grace on Israel , but no-one knows who is Israel any more since God scattered the House of Israel as lost sheep in EVERY nation , so they live as gentiles today, worldwide, where god has promised to find them and sent Jesus and the saints to ONLY do just that :-
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am
not sent but unto the
lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Deuteronomy 28:64 And the LORD shall
scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and
there thou shalt
serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.
note this cannot be the Jews ! [who were scattered much later]
so indeed the holy nation is Israel, chosen by God because they are so stiff-necked and rebellious that they form a fine example of how God can persuade men to Love despite the world , turn sinners into saints simply by causing them to face the Truth of God in spirit baptism... but that is the limit of what God can do , most men still won't stop sinning enough that the shock to ego of the shame of spirit baptism would not kill them [countr-productively] if God baptised more than the few who CHOOSE Love now , choose NOT to sin even in this world of mass sin of man against man as NORMAL rat-race behaviour ... men do not know how blind, naked , wretched, miserable from inside, they are .without Love as their rule of life... as the passage says ... we are in denial, blind even to our own knowledge of our own sins against one another... the kingdom is the answer for billions, but God requires a FEW now to build it with Jesus whilst the masses sleep in death for a thousand years until it is ready to begin the slavation of the masses ... all freed from hell [Rev 20:13] freed of sin by death[Rom 6:7] judged by works in the kingdom AFTER death and resurrection to the flesh, billions saved at judgement day, much later than the few saved in this world for the purpose of being the priests and kings who minister in that later salvation of billions -Rev 7:9-10
