  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness....

Peace in Christ.

Isa 29:18 KJV
(18) And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

The earth became without form….without the form of Christ….and void….void of the knowledge of the glory of God.

His people (who are attending man-based churches) are not currently shining the glory light of the Lord to the outside people of this earth who are sitting in deep darkness. They are "deaf" as they do not hear the Word of Truth from their preachers. The glory of God does not currently appear over His people who are void of His glory…..and so the entire earth is covered with a deep spiritual darkness. The people of the outside world are "blind" in the deep darkness where there is no light to be seen.

We are to manifest the life of Christ (the light) to their eyes….but right now, His view (visage) is being marred so that they cannot “see” Him through us. Isaiah 52:14 . The “blind” cannot see Him.

Gen 1:1-3
(1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(2) And the earth was (Hebrew: hayah = to become) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

(3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Darkness was upon the faces (plural) of the deep. Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the people of this earth. The people of the outside world who are in darkness do not “see” Him as His people are not manifesting His light and glory to them. Darkness is upon their faces because of the lack of the light of Christ in His people.

We are to “arise” and depart from out of the dead man-based churches where they are not shining His light to the people of the outside world who are in deep darkness. The glory of the LORD does not rise upon them.

We can then “shine” and the glory of the LORD will rise upon us so that the people in the deep darkness can see and come to His light shining through us. The “blind” shall then “see” and be saved.

Isa 60:1-3 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

We are to “awake” out of our “sleep” and arise OUT OF the dead ones (the dead man-based churches who are all “asleep” and are not shining His light) and Christ shall give you light. We become His children of light to this dark world so that they may “see” Him through us. We are then made the light of this world …a city on a hill that cannot then be hid from them….in Him.

Eph 5:14

(14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from (out of) the dead (dead ones), and Christ shall give thee light.

The Spirit of God moves upon the FACES (plural) of the waters (people). We all, with OPEN FACE, behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord. We shine forth His glory to the darkened faces of the people of this world. The “blind” shall then “see.” Let there be light.

2Co 3:17-18 KJV
(17) Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

(18) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

We are to shine the light of the knowledge of the glory of God to the people of this darkened world in the face of Jesus Christ that our “open faces” (to the world) will reflect as in a mirror.

2Co 4:6
(6) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Whenever
He shall appear (in our mortal bodies), then we shall appear with Him in glory (to the believing people of the outside world).

He shall “appear” to the eyes of those who are chosen among the people of the world to “see” Him….WHENEVER He appears.

Col 3:4
(4) When (WHENEVER) Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

“in that NIGHT”…in the deep darkness….one person of the outside world shall “see” Him as He “appears” (shines) to him or her and will be “taken”….that is, RECEIVED unto Him. He “appears” …shines…through us to them. "Whenever Christ shall appear" to those who will "see" Him shine/appear through us, we shall appear with Him in glory. The chosen people of the outside world who are "in the night" shall see Him and will believe and praise God.

The “other” will be left as Christ did not “appear” to them.

Luk 17:34-37
(34) I tell you, in that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
(35) Two shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

(36) Two shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Wherever the body…the living body of Christ (whom we manifest) is, there the eagles (who SEE the living body) shall be gathered together. They will come to His life that manifests through us to them. They will come to our light.

(37) And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body (soma = sound body) is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

We shall be persecuted by the man-based churches for leaving them and those who will stay put in them will not believe in the Word of Truth when they will hear it and will behave badly in unrighteousness.

But we are to “suffer” with Christ…partaking in His sufferings, so that His glory shall be revealed in us to the people of the outside world.

Rom 8:18-21 KJV
(18) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Let there be light. The intense anticipation of this world waits for the manifestation of the sons of God who will shine His light to them. The creation is currently in deep darkness being made subject to emptiness.

(19) For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
(20) For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

(21) Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

We, His people, are to hear the Word of Truth….and hearing is believing in it. Hearing is being swift to hear and slow to speak and slow to wrath over what we hear. The “deaf” shall hear the words of the book as the Lord opens up the Scriptures to our hearing ears.

He begets us with the Word of Truth (the "deaf" shall hear) so that we should be a kind of firstfruits (which is the 144,000…..the house of Jacob…the vessels of His mercy) of His creatures (which is the “great multitude” of the people of the outside world sitting in deep darkness). The “blind” shall then see.

Jas 1:18-20 KJV
(18) Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
(19) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

(20) For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

After we hear the Word of Truth….the good news of our salvation…we BELIEVE and are sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise. Those who hear His voice shall live...receive an age-lasting life. We receive the promise of His presence by which we shine the light of Christ to the people of the outside world who are sitting in deep darkness.

Eph 1:13
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of the promise,

With His manifest presence, we bring about the redemption of the purchased possession (the believers of the outside world who will “see” Him through us manifesting His presence to them). They will then praise God above when they see His glory shine through us. We are to be unto the praise of His glory as the people of this world shall see Him through us and praise God above.

(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Christ the firstfruits (the 144,000 who will HEAR the Word of Truth and BELIEVE in it) shall be made alive…and then those that Christ’s IN His presence…the believers among the people of the outside world currently sitting in deep darkness. We manifest His presence to them with our “open face”. The Spirit of God moves upon the faces of the waters. They “see” Him through us and believe. Let there be His light in their deep darkness. They shall “see” the light and believe and praise God.

1Co 15:22-25
(22) For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
(23) But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's in his PRESENCE.
(24) Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

(25) For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

We ...the firstfruits of Christ...are to obtain an inheritance with having His presence be made manifest through us: to gather in one all things in Christ both of which are in heaven (the people who have their citizenship in heaven now in this earth) and all things which are in the earth (the people of the outside world).

We preach the Word of Truth to His people who are to hear and believe (the “deaf” shall hear)and we shine His light to the outside people who will then “see” His light in their darkness and believe (the “blind” shall then see).

Eph 1:10-14 KJV
(10) That in the dispensation of the fulness 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:
(11) In 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:
(12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

We, with Christ our light, are to participate in the raising up of the tribes of Jacob….to restore the preserved of Israel (those who have their citizenship in heaven) and to shine His light to the nations (the earth)…to bring His salvation to them. We preach the Word of Truth to the tribes of Jacob (the vessels of His mercy) and we shine His light to the outside nations….bringing His salvation to them. The "deaf" shall hear the Word of Truth and the "blind" shall see His light from those who will hear and believe.

Isa 49:6-7 KJV
(6) And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

In the man-based churches we do not shine His light to the people of the outside world . The Holy One (Jesus Christ) is despised among the nations because of them. The nations abhor us. We have been a servant of rulers as the people of the outside world rule over us rather than us over them.

But we are redeemed from among the man-based churches. We are delivered from those who are living in error. We come out from among them and are separate so that we may shine His glory light to those who once hated us. He chooses us to participate with Christ in gathering all things in Him.

Then, their kings shall see and arise and prince shall worship.

(7) Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

WHENEVER CHRIST SHALL APPEAR. In His times (in the appointed occasions), God will show/display Christ Jesus who is King of kings (of those who are currently ruling) and Lord of lords (those who are currently lording). God has appointed occasions to show Christ appearing in us to them who will believe. They will see the “appearing”…the epiphany…of the Lord (of lords) Jesus Christ through us. The believers among the kings and rulers of this earth shall then see who is the only true King and Lord through us. They will see the Only Ruler. He makes us a royal nation....a kingdom of priests...in this earth by His appearing through us to their seeing eyes.

1Ti 6:13-19 KJV
(13) I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
(14) That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(15) Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

(16) Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

And we are to charge them…the rich (the believing kings and lords in this world) not to be highminded….

(17) Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
(18) That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

(19) Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Jesus Christ shall be highly exalted. The believing kings of this earth shall SEE Him through us. They will not have heard the Word of Truth but shall SEE Him. Seeing is believing for them.

Isa 52:13-15 KJV
(13) Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
(14) As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

(15) So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
