Light My Candle
HEADLINE
Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
Think about this! Why do men light candles to acknowledge the passing away of men? This seems to be the tradition in many cultures. Is there TRUTH hidden in this practice? What does it all mean? Consider the words in our HEADLINE, namely, “the Spirit of man”. The spirit of man is the “IMAGE OF GOD” whether it is a son or daughter, because He created us “in Our image and likeness”. The word “our” includes Mother Zion, Father’s Wife (Isaiah 54:5-6) and companion whom He conversed with in Genesis 1:26-28. Let’s go back and see what God told Enoch about this process.
The symbol of Mother Zion is the moon. And Enoch and Baruch saw Mother Zion as “a woman in Her chariot”.
Secrets of Enoch 25:1 I commanded in the very lowest parts, that visible things should come down from invisible, and Adoil (Mother’s allegoric name) came down very great, and I beheld 2 him, and lo! he had a belly of great light. And I said to him: 'Become undone, Adoil, and let 3 the visible come out of thee.' And he came undone, and a great light came out. And I was in the midst of the great light, and as there is born light from light, there came forth a great age, and showed all creation, which I had thought to 4 create. And I saw that it was good. And I placed for myself a throne, and took; my seat on it, and said to the light: 'Go thou up higher and fix thyself high above the throne, and be 5 a foundation to the highest things.' And above the light there is nothing else, and then I bent up and looked up from my throne.
III Baruch 9:1 And they having retired, the night also fell, and at the same time came the chariot of the 2 moon, along with the stars. And I Baruch said, Lord, show me it also, I beseech of thee, how 3 it goes forth, where it departs, and in what form it moves along. And the angel said, wait and thou shalt see it also shortly. And on the morrow I also saw it in the form of a woman, and sitting on a wheeled chariot. And there were before it oxen and lambs in the chariot, and a multitude of 4 angels in like manner. And I said, Lord, what are the oxen and the lambs? And he said to me, 5 They also are angels. And again I asked, Why is it that it at one time increases, but at another 6 time decreases? And (he said to me), Listen, O Baruch: This which thou seest had been written 7 by God beautiful as no other. And at the transgression of the first Adam, it was near to Sammael when he took the serpent as a garment. And it did not hide itself but increased, and God was 8 angry with it, and afflicted it, and shortened its days. And I said, And how does it not also shine always, but only in the night? And the angel said, Listen: as in the presence of a king, the courtiers cannot speak freely, so the moon and the stars cannot shine in the presence of the sun; for the stars are always suspended, but they are screened by the sun, and the moon, although it is uninjured, is consumed by the heat of the sun.
John was also shown Mother Zion by her "moon" allegory.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Psalms 87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. 4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my (off)springs are in thee.
1 Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Isaiah 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
Now you see the relationship between all these scriptures. Father-God impregnated Mother Zion and She was revealed that way to Enoch having “a belly full of light. And there was born light from light and I was in the midst of the light”. This is the history of how we came to be. And Father “birthed us all in one day”, the great 4th Creation Day as “his stars”. YOU have been ALIVE all the time that passed in history since that day. You were sleep in the nursery! You are IMMORTAL, so get used to it!!
Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Twelve pairs of children were matriculated to maturity quickly, and they became God’s First Family to interact with the NEGATIVE “TOOLS” before they were cast down to hell from Heaven. The remaining pairs of infant spirit-seed children became mother’s “birth-water”, which God kept in a special chamber called the “chamber of the stars”. From this chamber, God plants “Holy Seed” down in the clay fields of planet Earth. When He does this, He wears His “Husbandman-Potter” hat! Twelve Orders of angelic children are derived from this process and they are RE-PAIRED in their designated Orders of Angels when they “enter the Arch” again after being reaped from the Earth.
God also told Enoch that He created the angelic orders from fire! Father himself is “a consuming fire” and all these allegories tell us that we are “his image and likeness”.
Deuteronomy 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Secrets of Enoch 22:1 On the tenth Heaven, Aravoth, I saw the appearance of the Lord's face, like iron made to glow in fire, and brought out, emitting sparks, and it burns. Thus I saw the Lord's face, but the Lord's face is ineffable, marvellous and very awful, and very, very terrible. 2 And who am I to tell of the Lord's unspeakable being, and of his very wonderful face? and I cannot tell the quantity of his many instructions, and various voices, the Lord's throne very great and not made with hands, nor the quantity of those standing round him, troops of cherubim and 3 seraphim, nor their incessant singing, nor his immutable beauty, and who shall tell of the ineffable greatness of his glory? 4 And I fell prone and bowed down to the Lord, 5 and the Lord with his lips said to me: 'Have courage, Enoch, do not fear, arise and stand before my face into eternity.' 6 And the archistratege Michael lifted me up, and led me to before the Lord's face.
Secrets of Enoch 29:1 Then it became evening, and then again morning, and it was the second day. [Monday is the first day.] The fiery Essence. And for all the heavenly troops I imaged the image and essence of fire, and my eye looked at the very hard, firm rock, and from the gleam of my eye the lightning received its wonderful 2 nature, which is both fire in water and water in fire, and one does not put out the other, nor does the one dry up the other, therefore the lightning is brighter than the sun, softer than water and 3 firmer than hard rock. And from the rock I cut off a great fire; and from the fire I created the orders of the incorporeal ten troops of angels, and their weapons are fiery and their raiment a burning flame, and I commanded that each one should stand in his order.
Jesus told us that, “Ye are the light of the world”, Matthew 5:14. The problem with that is men in flesh and blood garments do not shine. Our light is always turned off. But God can turn on a man’s light by “lighting his candle”. That happens when the spirit of God enters a man’s mind and takes up residency there. The wisdom and understanding that he exhibits and shows to all those around him gives light to men and also causes some of them to shine with the same. In a technical sense, this is what happened to Jesus’ disciples on the Day of Pentecost.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
This was done for dramatic effect for the record and for our learning in later generations, who will read these things. Another dramatic effect is what God did to Moses when he came down from the mountain.
Exodus 34:29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. 32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. 34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
So do not think that your Father does not have a sense of humor. That was a funny sight to those who watched from above, seeing men scatter in fear after seeing Moses’ face. They know Father is a Teacher. He meant no harm and no harm was done. All He did was turn on Moses' light just a little bit. We are “children of light” and we all have to grow accustomed to our own face. He will turn all of us on when we RISE. What will you do when you behold your own glory? Every being up there has a FACE like Father’s face!
Secrets of Enoch 44:1 The Lord with his hands having created man, in the likeness of his own face, the Lord made him small and great.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
When men die, you have been told what happens. You STAND before God! Isaiah 66:18, 20-23.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Father-God is drawing up “true worshippers” for FAMILY REUNION and the “Feast of Tabernacles”. So when men light candles after a person dies, there is something to that!
Isaiah 25:6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
