Random thoughts to consider....

Wheeler · Nov 2, 2010

Hi Chickapee, will get to Isaiah 8 a little later....need to pray and think more about it. I wanted to continue in Ezekiel 37....to expand a little more about it.

As stated in the previous post, the Scriptures are the body that was prepared for the ultimate sacrifice. The volume of the book is the body of Jesus Christ that has been offered. Moses and all of the prophets and the disciples make up the volume of the book.the body of Jesus Christ.

(Heb 10:5 KJV) Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

The offering is the Scriptures in its entirety. All of our sins.our missing of the mark of the Truthare done in ignorance of the Truth.

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

We, the church, are a part of his body..we are the members of his flesh AND of his bones. The bones are the Scriptures themselves.the Writings of the prophets and the apostles. . We are the flesh upon the bones of his body.

(Eph 5:29 KJV) For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets. The bones are the foundationthe support structureof the body.

(Eph 2:20 KJV) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

When man privately interprets the Scriptures with his fleshly, exterior understandingwithout the Spirit of Truth, then there is no life in what he preaches.the doctrines and commandments of men. The Scriptures are the bones that have came together as men wrote them as they were led by the Spirit.bone to His bonethe body of Christ.

(Ezek 37:4 KJV) Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

It is the Spirit of Christ that enlivens the Scriptures within our minds.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

He has laid sinews upon the bones. Sinews = a compressing thong, to invade, to overcome. The sinews would be Israel after the flesh.

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

The whole scene of Jacob wrestling with a manwith an angel.was really a prophecy about the Jews wrestling with Jesus (the messenger of the Truth) over the writings of Moses and the Prophets. They had wrestled with Jesus and prevailed.just as Jacob did with the man he wrestled with. It was their hour.the power of darkness.by which they prevailed.

(Luke 22:53 KJV) When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
54 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

Jacob wrestled with the man..the Jews wrestled with Jesus.

(Gen 32:24 KJV) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

They had prevailed.it was their hour of the power of darkness. Jacob wrestled this man in the darkness. The Jews wrestled with Jesus in the power of darkness.

(Gen 32:28 KJV) And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

But it came with a consequence. The sinew shrank.they shrank back because of their unbelief.and so they have halted upon the thigh.they have experience the adversity as they lamely walk without Christ in their lives.

(Gen 32:31 KJV) And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

But they have not stumbled that they should fall forever. They will be grafted in againthey will be healed of their lameness.

(Rom 11:11 KJV) I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

Continuing in Ezekiel 37. Men wrote the Scriptures as they were led by the Spirit.they prophesied as they were commanded by the Spirit. The bones came together.the Scriptures was formed by the prophets and the disciples. They are bone to Jesus bone.they are a part of his body.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

Christ Jesus is the Spirit that makes the entire body alive. The Scriptures without the Spirit of Truth revealing them have no life in them.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

The witnesses of the biblical saints have been slain by the carnal mind of man who preaches only with his fleshly understanding.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

Carnal-thinking, religious man have gaped upon the Scriptures with their mouths.they wrest them in their earthly understanding.

(Psa 22:12 KJV) Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

They are like a ravening and a roaring lion that gnaw on the bonesthe Writings of the prophets and the apostles.

13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

All of his bones are out of jointas carnal man wrests the Scriptures.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

They pierced his hands and his feet..the writings of the prophets = the handsthe writings of the apostles = his feet. Pierced = Hebrew ariy = LION. They have pierced the Writings with their mouths.wresting them beyond their spiritual message in their carnal thinking.

16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

But the Scriptures shall be saved from the lions mouth.from the wresting of them by carnal thinking men.

21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

Continuing in Ezekiel 37.

But the Spirit of Truth comes to enliven the Scriptures in the mind of man so that we may be saved from the carnal thinking of religious man and his works of darkness. They shall stand upon their "feet"....the revealed Truth of the writings of the apostles shall make them stand.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

We shall awaken to His Truthand come out of the grave of carnal thinking and carnal works..and we are to put on the new man.Christ Jesus.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

....continued from previous post.

The sticks are specifically the Old Testament and the New Testament.they are the Writings. write upon it.

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:

They are to be joined together in the mind of Christ Jesus who shall interpret them as they should be. They shall become united in the power of God.

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

Christ Jesus shall show us what they mean....He shall interpret them for us.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these?

The stick or tree of Joseph is the New Testament.which is in the domain of the Gentile churchspiritual Ephraim. Ephraim is the Gentile church when Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews.because of their unbelief.

(John 11:54 KJV) Jesus 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.

The stick of Judah is the Old Testament. They shall become oneunited.by the hand of Godin His power.

19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

We shall know the Scriptures.before our the eyes of our understanding. It will be by the power of God that we shall know the Scriptures which will unite Jew and Gentile into one body.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

The Truth shall gather us together.Jew and Gentileinto ONE mind and ONE body.

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

We shall no longer be two nations..Jew and Gentile. But we shall be ONE nation where there is no distinction in Christ Jesus. We shall not be divided into two kingdoms.into the biblical divisionsthe Old Testament for the Jews and the New Testament for the Gentiles. The Scriptures will become ONE for all.

22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

The Jews and the Gentile church shall no longer defile themselves with their carnal doctrines and commandments of men.their idols. No one has been goodall have sinned.

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

David.Christ Jesusshall be king over us.the ONE Shepherd.

24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

The whole world will know us by the Lord sanctifying His peopleHe shall dwell among us in the revealed Truth.

28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

Pastors who wrest the Scriptures in their own carnal thinking are like the lion that walks about seeking whom he may devour.

(1 Pet 5:8 KJV) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

They seek to devour the simple with their good words and fair speeches.they seek to deceive the hearts of the simple by wresting the Scriptures from the Truth. Like a lion, they seek their prey to fill their bellies with.

(Rom 16:17 KJV) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

They handle the Word of God deceitfullythey preach error for their covetousnessfor great church buildings, great ministries, great honor among menthey seek to make merchandise of the flock of God. They walk about in craftiness.they walk about as the lion seeking whom they may devour with their deceitful preaching.their misrepresentation of the prophets and apostles witness.their written words of the Bible.

(2 Cor 4:2 KJV) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

They have nailed his hands and his feet. Doctrines are like nails. Their carnal words have misrepresented the writings of the prophets and the apostles.

(Eccl 12:11 KJV) The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

They peddle.they retailthe Word of God by wresting the Scriptures for their covetousness. But the true witness of the words of the prophets and apostles SPEAK in Christ who is the heavenly Truth of their words. The misrepresentation of their written words by covetous pastors is the words of the lion.

(2 Cor 2:17 KJV) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

But our Lord comes to rescue the Scriptures from the mouth of the lion.from the carnal preaching of deceptive pastors. As Paul states, the Lord will stand with him and strengthen his words in the Truth so that we may truly understand what Paul has wrote to usso that the preaching may be FULLY KNOWN and that ALL the Gentiles might hear with true understanding.

(2 Tim 4:17 KJV) Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Pauls letters will be delivered from every evil work that is preached and practiced by lion pastors.

18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Lion pastors have ruled over the Scriptures in their carnal minds and over the church like the crown of thorns.

(John 19:2 KJV) And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

They have reigned as kings without the Truth though. They have reigned in their carnal minds preaching deceitful doctrines and commandments of men. They have reigned as kings WITHOUT the Scripture of Truth.without the Truth of the witness words.

(1 Cor 4:8 KJV) Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

Paul uses a bit of sarcasm here.the kings are not wise in Christ..they are not strong.they are not honorable.

10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

Even unto this present hour.hour of darkness.the witnesses words in the Scriptures suffer from a lack of Truth as they are being misrepresented by carnal men who reign as kings in their own imaginations.

11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

The reality of the king pastors today is that they are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked and need to repent of their ways.

(Rev 3:17 KJV) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

The Lord comes to open up the Scriptures for our understanding in this last day..and the kingsthe pastors will shut their mouths. The lions will no longer devour the simple with their carnal understanding and mis-preaching of the Word of God.

(Isa 52:15 KJV) 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.

Like a lion, the Lord comes to fight for the Truth of the words of the biblical saints. The multitude of shepherds have misrepresented the words of the witnesses. They do err not knowing the Scriptures in their carnal minds.

(Isa 31:4 KJV) For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

He shall strike through kings..the pastors of errorin the Day of His wrath.

(Psa 110:5 KJV) The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

Yes I have read many of these scriptures and wondered about David being the shepherd over them !
I do see how they can connect
and love the way that the Holy Spirit and Truth breath Life in them

the Jews have the law of Moses and its the letter that killeth

they sought to Kill Jesus with the Spirit and life in Him

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

15The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41I receive not honour from men.
42But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. 47But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

this is awesome

Indeed, looking at the letter kills. Looking at the outward appearance of any part of the Scriptures.Old or New Testament. kills. When carnally-thinking, religious man privately interprets them.preaching with his own understanding, then comes hatred, divisions, stumbling stones, envy, and strife into the church. death. Many have fallen asleep as a result. Judging each other over carnally-understood doctrines is hating one another.

(2 Cor 10:4 KJV) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Looking at the outward appearance of things..the Scriptures.is THE problem. Religious, external-thinking man is really worshiping with his own imagination.not in Spirit and in Truth.

7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

The letters are meant to be understood in the Spiritin Christ Jesus.comparing spiritual things with their spiritual meanings. They are meant for our building up as a temple.not for destruction.not to fight and war with each other over our own private, outward interpretations.

8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

The Spirit of Truth reveals us all things in the Scriptures.in their spiritual understandingnot the external, outward appearance of the letters. Mans wisdom of the Bible is earthly.not spiritual. It is from belownot from above. It is the natural mans interpretation of the Scriptures that kills..bringing envy, strife, divisionshatredto those who believe in the carnal mans understanding. the word of man's wisdom = the "mouth of the lion" that has gnawed on Paul's letters...wresting them and deceiving others. Man's wisdom devours those who listen to carnal man.

(1 Cor 2:13 KJV) Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

The natural man wants to continue to believe in the outward appearance of the letter of the Scriptures. He wants to keep them in their historical, plain meanings.keeping them in the grave so to speak. The natural man thinks that the spiritual interpretation of the Scriptures is foolishness.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Paul has not been able to speak with a spiritual understanding to the church through his letters .YET. The churches have only heard the milk message of his letters. The meat would be the spiritual message of Christ that is contained in his letters.that is only understood with the Spirit of Truth. Pauls lettersand all of the Scriptureshave underlying spiritual meanings to them.not readily visible by earthly men.

3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

The churches are yet carnal.living in divisions, envy and strife. This is evident TODAY.

3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Like the disciples, the churches have disputed among themselves about who should be the greatest..who is the correct church in their own private interpretation of the Scriptures.

(Mark 9:33 KJV) And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

We are to be born from abovespiritual wisdomand not from the earthly wisdom of man. Such children of spiritual wisdom will come and preach the revealed Word of God in its spiritual meanings in the last day. We are to receive them.

37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

And again in Luke, we see the disciples striving about who should be the greatest. Likewise, the churches are striving with each other over who is the greatest among them. All of these things in Luke 22 are interrelated. The Lords Supper is symbolic for loving one anotherwe are to do this in remembrance of Him.LOVE ONE ANOTHER.which is the doctrine of Christ. The Lord loves us and gave himself for us.his sacrifice. Our sacrifice.our daily sacrificeis to love one another in remembrance of what he did for us.

(Luke 22:19 KJV) And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.

Again, there was strife among them.just as there is currently in the church. Instead of keeping the Lords supper.to love one another.they strive with each other about who is the greatest at His table.

24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

And those who lead the church into divisions and strife exercise lordship over them. Many pastors live as kings over the church instead of serving them with the Truth. Yet, they are called workers of good. benefactors.all part of the deception.

25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

Those that love one another have continued with Him in the trialin the temptations. They have kept his word of patiencenot giving into the strive and envy that comes with privately interpreting the Scriptures.

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

The church is likened to Peter.Satan has desired to test the churchto throw it into prison.to get it to strive with each other over who is the greatest. The outward letter understanding of the Scriptures presents the temptation to argue with each other over who is correct in their erroneous interpretations.

31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

But as Peter, the church is to be converted from the kingdom of darkness into His Lightinto His SPIRITUAL knowledge. And the church is to strengthen our brothersthe Jews..with the spiritual Scripture of Truth.the LIVING Word of God.

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.

Those who live in strife and envy and hatred have denied Him by their works of darkness. Yet, there is forgiveness.they know not what they do.

34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

We have been the transgressors that he is numbered with.

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

The two swords = envy and strife. But these things have an endand the church is to be converted back to God from its striving over who is the greatest. It is to be released from its prison and death.the carnal mind.

38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

When religious man preaches his own private, outward interpretation of the Scriptures, his words become the open sepulcher. He leads others down the wrong path into divisions, envy and strife. That is why there are so many denominations today.the carnal mind preaches death..the outward letter.

(Rom 3:11 KJV) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

The carnal understanding preaches deceit.and infects others with the poison of asps.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Christ Jesus is the spiritual Truth.he has the keys to Hades and death.to let the churches out of their carnal minds which has trapped them in divisions, envy, strife and hatred. Even though we have been dead in trespasses and sins in our ignorance, He shall save us from "death"...we shall pass from death into life with the revealing of His spiritual knowledge.

(Rev 1:18 KJV) I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Indeed, looking at the “letter” “kills.” Looking at the “outward” appearance of any part of the Scriptures….Old or New Testament…. “kills.” When carnally-thinking, religious man privately interprets them….preaching with his own understanding, then comes hatred, divisions, stumbling stones, envy, and strife into the church…. “death.” Many have fallen “asleep” as a result. Judging each other over carnally-understood doctrines is hating one another.

Amen Wheeler
the very law of God is to love Him first and others as yourself!

1Jo 5:2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.1Jo 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1Jo 2:7Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning

.Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

The Scriptures were written by holy men as the Spirit of Christ had led them to speak. They were not written by the will of man.and so the will of earthly man does not privately interpret them correctly. As Jesus, the Scriptures are collectively the Son of man.the writingsthe offspring. of holy men being led by the Spirit.

(2 Pet 1:20 KJV) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

It was planned by God that the Scriptures were to be wrested by the earthly willthe wisdom of man.to be condemned to death by the carnal mind of religious man. The Scriptures have been delivered to the religious leaders who have wrested the words of the holy witnesses in their earthly understanding.

(Mark 10:33 KJV) Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

The wresting of the Scriptures by the carnal preaching of the carnal mind = mocking, scourging, spitting upon him. All these things have been done in the flesh.the outward understanding of the Bible while the hidden Truth has stayed hidden and protected. Our sins are done in ignorance of the Truth....and by His sacrifice mercifully forgives us for the errors. But in the third day, the Scriptures are to be opened up for our understanding. They have been the suffering servant, but the Day arrives in which they will be strengthened in the understanding of Christ Jesus.

34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

The Son of man.the Writings of holy men.have been in the heart of the earth.in the earthly understanding of carnal men.

(Mat 12:40 KJV) For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

But the witnesses words will become living in the interpretation of Christ Jesus who is the Truth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment.their witness shall become spiritually alive for us today. The Scriptures become living for us today.and not simply a history lesson.

41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The "greater" word is the interpretation by Christ Jesus. He speaks to us today through Solomons words in a spiritually understood new meaning.

42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

As Jesus showed us, the Scriptures themselves have been betrayed into the hands of sinnersinto the hands of those who miss the mark of the Truth.

(Mark 14:41 KJV) And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

The Scriptures have been betrayed into the hands of religious leaders in the church who preach things with their carnal understanding.which bring division and hatred swords and staves.

43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

They kiss him with their lipsbut their hearts are far from him.

44 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

They preach things from the Scriptures.but their hearts are far from him. They preach themselves.out of the covetousness of their hearts. They wrest the Scriptures for the lust of thingsthey handle the Word of God deceitfully in order to deceive the simple. They have led many away from righteousness.from loving one another honestly.

(Mat 15:8 KJV) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

They worship Him in vain.teaching doctrines from their carnal understanding of the Scriptures. They teach commandments of men that neither gives true life to their hearers nor does it save anyone.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

But our Lord comes to open up the Scriptures to our spiritual understanding. He will call to us and we are to hear and UNDERSTAND:

10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

What comes out of the mouth of carnal manhis carnal doctrines and commandments, are what defiles us.

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

The church fathersthe church leaders and elderswill be offended when they will hear this saying.

12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

But every plant.every carnal doctrine and commandment of man .shall be uprooted in the revealing of the Truth in this last Day.

13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

This is why religious man must deny himself.must deny his own earthly understanding of the Scriptures.his own doctrines and commandments of menhis own church denomination's teachings. in order to hear and understand the revealed Truth. Religious man must take upor take AWAY his cross of the wisdom of men and follow Him.the Truth. We are to acknowledge His interpretation of the Scriptures as Truth.and to depart from mans wisdom of the Bible. We must follow after Him.

Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

When we hear the revealed Truth, we are not to be wise in the eyes of our own understanding. We are to take away the cross of mans wisdom and follow Him in the Truth which sets us free from the bondage of men. Our Lord is merciful and forgiving of our sins.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

As the Father, He chastens those who are slow of heart to depart from the wisdom of men. His patience is our salvation.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

The Lord shall call the people unto Him.through the revealing of the Scripture of Truth. When He does this in this last day, religious man is expected to acknowledge the Truth and depart from his own carnal thinking.his own wisdom.ways and thoughts.

(Mark 8:34 KJV) And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Whoever can let go of his own earthly wisdom of the Scriptures and his own denominational commandments and doctrines of men, shall save their lives.

35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

.....continued from previous post

We are not to be ashamed of the spiritual interpretation by Him.to be ashamed of the revealing of the Truthof His Word. He comes with His holy angels.those messengers of the revealed Truth who come to preach to those who are asleep in the dust of the carnal understanding of religious man.

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

He comes in the clouds.the cloud of witnesses. in their spiritual Truthwith great power and glory. They shall speak greater things in the interpretation of Christ Jesus. No longer will the Scriptures be the suffering servant in the mouths of carnal men who speak falsehoods with the poison of their tongues. No longer will the witness of all the biblical saints be wrested in the mouth of the lion.

(Mark 13:26 KJV) And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

And He will send His angels.His messengers of the Truthto gather those who will hear and understand. They will gather those from the earthly preaching of those in charge. They shall gather them in the Truth.

27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

The fig tree is the Scriptures that will start to put out its spiritual Truth in the mind of Christ. Its leaves are for the healing of those who have been bogged down in religious mans strife, envying, hatred, divisions.

28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

When we see these things.KNOW. IT is all about the understanding of the Scriptures in the mind of Christ.

29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

The revealed Truth comes as King of kings and Lord of lords. It is the Word of God as interpreted by Christ Jesus that is King. No longer will the Word of God be the suffering servant in the mind of man.

(Rev 19:13 KJV) 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.

The Word of God will then be powerful and quick.a swift witness against those who will continue to wrest the Scriptures in order to take advantage of the poor in Spirit. Mans wisdom will not prevail.the gates of Hades will not prevail.

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.

We are to assemble to the revealed Truth when we see the "leaves" being put out on the "fig tree." Yet, there will be religious leaders who will preach against it.forbidding those of their congregation to follow Him.

(Heb 10:25 KJV) Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

There will then be no longer a sacrifice for sinsfor missing of the mark of the Truthwhen He comes as King of kings and Lord of lords. No longer will the Scriptures be the "suffering servant" .the sacrificebut it will be powerful and quick in the mind of Christ against those who will scoff and seek to prevent others from accepting the Truth.

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

We are to be mindful of the words that are spoken before by the holy prophets and apostles. We will spiritually understand their words in the mind of Christ who comes in this appointed day to open up their words to our understanding.

(2 Pet 3:2 KJV) That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

But there shall be scoffers in this last daywalking after their own covetousness for big church buildings, big ministries, big congregations, big church riches, greater vain glory among men, greater material wealthselling their religious wares to the people of God. They will scoff against the revealed Truth of the Word of God.

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

They will be saying where is the promise of His coming? Where is the (promise = announcement) of His (coming = parousia = PRESENCE? Where is the announcement of His presence? In their carnal minds, they expect a literal cloud coming.a literal trumpet blast to be heard with their literal ears. They expect to see some literal event by their own "observation" not understanding that the kingdom of God comes within us in the Spirit of Truth. It comes NOT with literal observation. They will only see externally the status quo continuing on.

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

It is the revealing of the Word of God that we are to be looking for:

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

It is the revealed Word of God that comes to destroy mans religious Babylon.mans wisdom.mans thoughts and ways are to burn away.

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

But our Lord is patient.not willing that any should perish in his own wickedness. His patience is for those who are of slowness of heart to believe in the revelation of the Word of God. We are to repentto change the mindand follow His TruthHis interpretation. We are to deny our own thoughts and ways for His.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

The Word of God shall become a swift witness against those who will continue to wrest them in their carnal mindsto their own detriment.

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

And we are to beware of those who will seek to keep us from His revealed Scripture of Truth in the last days.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

In the last day when the Scriptures are being revealedthe Son of man being revealed, there will be those who will continue on as business as usualsaying where is the announcement of His presence? It will be just like in the days of Noah, they will continue to marry their doctrines of error and deceiving others with their preaching as the Truth is being assembled together before their very eyes.

(Luke 17:26 KJV) And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

It will be like in the days of Lot, they will continue to build their religious things in the covetousness of their hearts.questioning where is the announcement of His presence.willfully ignoring the revealing of the Truth that is contained in the Word of God.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

The Son of man is to be revealed.the Scriptures are to be opened up to our understanding. Will religious man continue on in his own religious, erroneous activities? Will religious man not be able to deny himself in order to follow the revealing of the Truth ? Will he stubbornly cling on to the church doctrines and commandments of men of his own denomination?

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

We are to leave the church doctrines and commandments of men.not take any stuff of mans wisdom with us. Let us not return back to the dust field of earthly-minded men. Let us no longer cover ourselves in our own works and doctrines.

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

The sign of Jonah is the speaking/preaching of the Spirit of Truth in this last day. Jonah means dove and is symbolic of the Spirit of Truth that comes to preach to us in this last day.

Luke 11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

The sign of Jonah is his preaching to the men of Nineveh. Likewise, the Spirit of Truth comes to preach repentance to us today.a greater witness in the mind of Christ.

Luke 11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The Spirit will reveal all things that have been hidden in the Word of God..he will guide us into ALL Truth.

(John 16:13 KJV) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

The Spirit of Truth comes to us as Jonah did to the men of Nineveh.to reprove the religious world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment:

(John 16:8 KJV) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

The Spirit of Truth comes like Jonah to cry against the wickedness that is so prevalent in the churches.

(Jonah 1:2 KJV) Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.

The Spirit of Truth shall speak whatsoever he shall hear.he shall not speak of himself.just as Jonah:

(Jonah 3:2 KJV) Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

Blessed are those who hear with their ears what the Spirit says in this appointed time. Blessed are those that hear the revealed Word of God and KEEP IT. We are to BELIEVE what the Spirit preaches to us..just as the Ninevites believed and repented at Jonahs preaching.

(Luke 11:28 KJV) But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

We are to believe in the revealed Word of God as preached by the Spirit of Truth in this last day. The people of Nineveh BELIEVED God.and they humbled their selves at the Truth.

(Jonah 3:5 KJV) So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

We are to believe and humble ourselves at His preaching of the Truth..and proclaim a fast from our wickedness.to not feed on the bread of deceit.to not feed any longer on the deceitful meat of man.the doctrines and commandments of men. We are to fast from the water of contention.the waters of Meribah.

(Jonah 3:7 KJV) And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:

We are to turn from our evil, religious ways..our divisions, our strife, our envying, our hatred of one another.the violence that is in our hands.

8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?

An evil generation is looking for a metaphor.a sign. An evil generation is expecting a literal cloud.a literal trumpet sounda literal catching away into the literal cloudsthey expect the Hollywood version of the last day. The Spirit of Truth is within us.preaching to us. There shall be no sign given to it.except the preaching of the Spirit of Truth.

Luke 11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

An evil generation is looking for the fictional, outward showing.but it is the Spirit of Truth that comes to dwell within usshowing us all things that are hidden in the Word of God. The religious world cannot receive these things because they are spiritually discerned. The religious world is busy looking for outward events to happen.

(John 14:17 KJV) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

An evil generation is looking for the natural things to appear.looking for the metaphors to be reality. The spiritual things are foolishness to those who are busy looking for the outward signs. No signs will be given except the preaching of the Spirit of Truth in this last day. These things are spiritually discerned.

(1 Cor 2:14 KJV) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

We are to believe in the preaching of the Spirit of Truth in this last day.just as the Ninevites did at the preaching of Jonah.just as Sheba did at the hearing of the wisdom of Solomon. She came from the "uttermost parts of the earth"....likewise, we are to depart from our earthly understanding to hear the wisdom of God being preached.

Luke 11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

As Solomon told Sheba all thingsthe Spirit of Truth comes to reveal ALL things of God to us.and we are to BELIEVE also just as she did.

(1 Ki 10:3 KJV) And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

The Spirit of Truth preaches what God has sent him to preach.he shows us Gods wisdomHis peace.His mercy.His kindness. He reveals us the Scripture of Truth.the house that He had built through the Spirit of Christ.

4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

He shows us the meat of the Truth as revealed in the Scriptures.

5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

She BELIEVED when she saw these thingswe are to believe also when we spiritually discern these things:

7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

Happy are those who hear the Wisdom of God.who hear what the Spirit of Truth says in this last day.

8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

We are to hear what the Spirit of Truth is saying to the churches in this last day. he that hath an ear, let him hear.and we are to humble ourselves at His Truth..to believeand do the Truth. We are to overcome our own wisdom and ways for His.

(Rev 2:7 KJV) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

And what we hear in the ear, we are to preach upon the housetops.

(Mat 10:27 KJV) What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

We are to repeat what the Spirit says.as a man puts a lit candle on a candlestick.so that others may see the Light of the knowledge of God.

(Luke 11:33 KJV) No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

We are to shine as stars by repeating what the Spirit says.leading others to righteousness. We act as conduits for the Spirit of Truthshining as the stars.repeating the Light of the knowledge of the Truth that is within us.

(Dan 12:3 KJV) And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

We act as fountains of living water by repeating what the Spirit of Truth says.

(Rev 22:17 KJV) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Yay ! Amen
the Spirit and Truth we must worship God in these ..
Matthew 11

1And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples,

he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.

2Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ,

he sent two of his disciples,
3And said unto him, Art thou he that should come,

or do we look for another?
4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk,

the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear,

the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6And blessed is he,

whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Our hearts shall burn within us as the Lord opens up the Scriptures to us in this last day..He will talk with us by the Way of righteousness. The Spirit of Truth comes to reveal all of the things of God that have been hidden from men.

(Luke 24:32 KJV) And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

And we shall rise up the same hourand return to Jerusalem.we shall return to God by Way of His heavenly wisdom that will be shown. We shall awaken from the dust of mans wisdom and understanding and return to Him.

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

He shall appear to Simon which means hearing. He shall appear to those who hear with their ears. We shall know Him by the breaking of bread.by the breaking of the Scriptures down for our understanding.the heavenly bread that will feed the spiritually hungry.

34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

And as we speak what we hear in the ear by the Spirit of Truth, Jesus stands in the midst of us. Where two or three gather together in his name, there is the Lord. I amin the midst of us. We shall know His peace.

36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

Our hearts shall burn within us as He interprets the Scriptures for us.in His heavenly Light.in the knowledge of God. The Light shall shine in a dark placeour hearts. The day shall dawn and we shall rise up from our sleep. The day star shall arise in our HEARTS.

(2 Pet 1:19 KJV) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

The Lord comes as the Light in our dark minds to interpret the Scriptures for our understandingso that we may know His will, His mercy, His knowledge, His wisdom, His power and understanding.

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

We are not to listen to mans wisdom and understanding which trys to tells us where to go to find Him. It is within our very own hearts.the best place for the evidence of the Lord.

(Mat 24:26 KJV) Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

The lightning.the bright shining.comes out of the east. The Light comes out of the opening up of the Scriptures (the east) and shines to the westour darkened hearts. The sun of righteousness shall rise up within our hearts.with healing in its wings. The Light of His knowledge shall replace the darkness of our own minds.

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.

The kingdom of God comes within us.and not by mans literal observation.

(Luke 17:20 KJV) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

We are not to listen to man who says lo here or lo there! The kingdom of God is WITHIN our hearts. It is not in mans denominationsnor in mans earthly, literal, outward, carnal thoughts and ways. The kingdom of God comes within usas the lightning shines from the east to the west..His Light shines in the darkness of our own hearts.and our hearts shall burn within us.

21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Religious man must deny himselfhis own wisdom and understanding.in order to enter into that kingdom of God that comes within us. Mans wisdom is symbolically the gold that we give to Him as a sacrifice..a present.a willing offer. We are to receive His wisdom and understanding.rather than mans wisdom.the choice gold.

(Prov 8:10 KJV) Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

Mans wisdom (the gold) cannot compare to Gods wisdom.

(1 Cor 1:25 KJV) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

The fruit of Gods wisdom is better than mans wisdom.the gold.

(Prov 8:19 KJV) My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

We are to offer to Him the gold of our own earthly wisdom in order to enter into His kingdom.His wisdom and understanding of the Scriptures. The first thing that the wise men offered to Jesus as a present was gold. They saw his star in the east.we shall see his starthe day starwithin our hearts as He opens up the Scriptures to us.

(Mat 2:2 KJV) Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

The first thing they presented to him was gold. Man must have fear for the Lord when they hear His wisdom and give up their own wisdom (the gold) in order to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. The gifts = offerings of man.

(Mat 2:11 KJV) And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

We are to be built into a habitation for God.and we are to bring an offering of the Lord.with a willing heart. The first thing mentioned here is gold..we are to offer up our own wisdom and understanding of the Scriptures and receive His wisdom in order to build the tabernacle for the Lord.

(Exo 35:5 KJV) Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,

We are to believe in His wisdom that is revealed within our hearts by the opening up of the Scriptures. Sheba BELIEVED Solomon..who had much wisdom. We are to believe in the Lords opening up of the Scriptures. Sheba gave Solomon GOLD. We are to give up our own wisdom and understanding for His..that is our offering of gold. He shall open up the eyes of our understanding.and we are to BELIEVE.

(1 Ki 10:7 KJV) Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.

We are to believe His interpretation of the Scriptures over religious mans gold.the offering of gold.

10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

Hiram also gave Solomon gold. He heard the words of Solomon and greatly rejoiced. We are to rejoice when we hear the Word of God being opened up.we are to rejoice at the preaching of Christ Jesus the Truth. David = Christ Jesusthe wise Son that shall rule over us. Hiram means noble, whiteness. We are to hear, receive, and believe in the words of Gods wisdom (Solomon.) We are to praise God for His revealed Word.

(1 Ki 5:7 KJV) And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.

Hiram also gave the king 120 talents of gold. We are to regard our own wisdom and understanding as worthless compared to His.

(1 Ki 9:14 KJV) And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

To be continued.

Chickapee · Nov 9, 2010

Our hearts shall “burn” within us as the Lord opens up the Scriptures to us in this last day…..He will talk with us by the Way of righteousness. The Spirit of Truth comes to reveal all of the things of God that have been hidden from men.

(Luke 24:32 KJV) And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

I wonder if this is like ''buring love '' and desire Wheeler I know when the Lord shows me some beautiful truths in His Word , love , peace and a joy just seems to florish and take over in that moment
It reminds me of the opposite results Jesus warns of here because of lawlessness and iniquity abounding\ hate being the clear problem and liars and selfish motives
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Mat 24:12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

the carnal mind could never understand what the Spirit is saying and teaching
I thought of this

Isaiah 55

1Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,

and he that hath no money;

come ye, buy, and eat;

yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?

and your labour for that which satisfieth not?

hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good,

and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live;

and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

6Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8For 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.
10For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Wheeler · Nov 10, 2010

Chickapee, exactly.our hearts burn with zealwith love for the Truth that He gives us. There is PEACE in receiving the Truth. When we receive what He has shown us in the Scripture of Truth, we are to receive it with JOY..rejoicing at His Word. We are to believe what He reveals to us..just as Abraham believed God. It will be credited to us as righteousness.remembering the promises of Abraham. We become a friend of God when we believe in His revealed Truth in this last day.

(James 2:23 KJV) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

The works of God are to believe in Christ Jesus.who is the Truth that we are to hear with our ears in this last day. We are to cease from our labors that were done with the carnal mind. We are to cease from our own earthly wisdom and understanding of the Bible.that is where divisions, strife and envy come from. Religious mans divisionsdenominationscome from relying upon his own wisdom.

(John 6:27 KJV) Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

We are to cease from our own wisdom of the Scriptures.which is where all of religious mans strife originates. The Lords wisdom brings unity and peace to the church. We are to cease from our labors for the meat that perishes.to cease from our own wisdom of the Scriptures. This is the offering of gold that we make to the Lord.to cease from our own wisdom.

(Prov 23:4 KJV) Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

We are to cease from hearing mans earthly instructionhis erroneous doctrines and commandments of men. The earthly understanding of man has kept its adherents living in fear.fear of straying away from mans instructionfear of death. We are to receive the words of Christ Jesus.who is the knowledge of God.the Light of God. The Truth shall set us free from the bondage and fear of man..his doctrines and commandments.

(Prov 19:27 KJV) Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

Man must cease from his labors.his religious, wonderful works.in order to enter into His peace.His rest. The number of man is 6. Mans wisdom and works = 6. We are to cease from the labors that profit us NOT and enter into His spiritual Truth where there is peace and rest in Him.

(Exo 31:15 KJV) Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

We must deny our doctrines and commandments of menour own denominational wisdomin order to enter into the kingdom of God.His Truth. We are to lose our denominational lives in order to save our lives in this last day. Man has had his six days to labor for the profitless meat.that will perish in the revealing of the Truth. But it is high time to wake up and cast away those wonderful works of darkness and follow Him.the Truththe Wayand the Life.

(Mark 8:34 KJV) And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Like Zacchaeus, we are to humble ourselves at His Truth and come down from our own wisdom.and receive Him into our hearts with JOY. Like Zacchaeus, many church leaders have ran ahead of Jesus.relying upon their own wisdom of the Scriptures. They have exalted themselves in their own understanding as they search the Scriptures for Jesus.

(Luke 19:4 KJV) And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

But they are to be like Zacchaeus and make haste and come down..to humble their selves at His Truth that will come into their hearts. He will come and make His abode within our house.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

Like the disciples, we are to IMMEDIATELY leave our netsour doctrines and commandments that catch men in erroneous teachings. We are to cease from our own wisdom of the Scriptures.and our own labors done in the carnal mind. We are to follow Him instead.

(Mat 4:18 KJV) And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

When we hear the words of Jesus in the revelation of the Spirit of Truth, we are to rejoice greatlyand praise God for His wisdom..just as Hiram. Hiram = whiteness.those who hear and believe will be credited as righteous.

(1 Ki 5:7 KJV) And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.

We are to believe in the Truth and be saved. Sheba believed in the words of Solomon (type for Christ Jesus.) We are to believe in His revelation of the Truth.

(1 Ki 10:7 KJV) Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

Happy are those who will rejoice in hearing the revelation of the Truth. Happy are those who will be able to stand before the Lord and hear His wisdom.

8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

We are to praise God for His mercy and Truth. The Lord Jesus Christ.the Truthcomes to do judgment and justice:

9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.

We are to cease from our own wisdom.the gold is our offering to Him. The spices are the praises of those who will believe and be saved.

10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

We are to praise God.to thank Him for His Truth.His knowledge that is manifest in every place in our hearts and the Scripture of Truth.

(2 Cor 2:14 KJV) Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Those who will receive the Truth with joy and belief shall be a sweet savour of Christ.

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

But there will be those who will continue to wrest the Scriptures..to merchandise the Word of God in their own wisdom. They will not cease from their own wisdom and labor for the meat that perishes.

16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Like Cain, they will hate their brothers over the Truth.because their own works are evil and those who receive the love of the Truth are in His righteousness. Their sacrifices will not be acceptable. Not every one who says Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.the Truth of the Scriptures. There will be those who will not cease from their own wisdom and labors done in the carnal mind.

(Mat 7:19 KJV) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Their wonderful works done in His name will not be acceptable in that day.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Their gold will not be included in their offerings to the Lord.their wisdom and works of iniquity will not be acceptable. They will not enter into His rest.His peace and safety.the meaning of Solomon. The one year = the united year = the year of salvation that comes to us in the last day.

(1 Ki 10:14 KJV) Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

Those who will continue to wrest the Scriptures.who corrupt the Word of God.are the merchantmen. They traffic in the Word of God with their own wisdom.even though they say Lord, Lord.even though they honor Him with their lips (the spices).yet their hearts are far from Him. They will be bogged down by the covetousness in their hearts. Those kings of Arabiathe kings of the darkness in their own minds.will not have their gold offering included.their offering made by their own trafficking of the Word of God will be unacceptable. They will not cease from their own wisdom.they will not cease from their labors to be rich.

15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

To be continued.

Wheeler · Nov 11, 2010

The talents of gold that came to Solomon in one year represents the offerings of man who will rejoice and receive the love of the revealed Truth in the year of salvation for the church. Religious man must deny himself.his own doctrines and commandments in order to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. Religious man must cease from his own wisdom.and his works that were done in ignorance.

(1 Ki 10:14 KJV) Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

The merchant men..the governors of the earth, etcwere not included in this weight of gold. They represent those church leaders who will continue on in wresting the Scriptures.merchandising the Word of Godand making merchandise of the people. Their wisdom and works.their offeringswill not be acceptable any longer.in the year of salvation when man is expected to repent of his thoughts and deeds.

15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

The merchantmen of the churches are the rich menwhose gold and silver will be a witness against them. Their offerings.their wonderful works done in His name will not be included in the weight of gold that comes to Solomon.Gods wisdomHis peace and safety. Solomon means peace and safety.

(James 5:1 KJV) Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

In the last days is NOT the time to continue heaping treasure together.

3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

The governors of the earth have lived in pleasure on the earth.in their own earthly wisdom of the Bible. They have built great religious things and organizations with their own understanding.the works of their own hands.

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

Let us be cleansed of these things..Naaman was cleansed of his leprosy by dipping into the Jordan seven times. We are to cleanse ourselves in the Truththe Spirit of Truth that will descend (the meaning of Jordan = descender.) He shall cleanse us in His revealing of the Truth....in His instruction.

(2 Ki 5:14 KJV) Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

Let us not be like Elishas servant, Gehazi, who went after riches.deceitfully. Gehazi means valley of vision, valley of revelation. In the day of the revelation of Christ Jesus who is the Truth, we are not to pursue after riches by deceitfully preaching the Word of God.

(2 Ki 5:21 KJV) So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.
24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

In the day of revelation. Gehazi..is NOT THE TIME to receive money, and garments.richesfrom the people of God. It is not a time to heap treasure together in the LAST DAYS.

26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

The riches will eat their flesh as it were fire.as the leprosy of Naamanit shall cleave unto them.

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

Religious man is expected to give up his own religious, denominational thoughts which are in error and his works that are done in ignorance of the Truth. God is not like our doctrines and commandments..He is not our denominations.He is not in our religious works. We must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.and not be mans earthly wisdom. Man must cease from his own wisdom in order to enter in to the kingdom of heavenin order to understand the Scripture of Truth.in order to know and understand Him.

(Acts 17:29 KJV) Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

God has overlooked our ignorance.the times of ignorance. The number of man is 6. Man has done his works for a spiritual 6 days.in ignorance of the Truth. But NOW man is commanded to repentto change his mindfrom the darkness of the carnal-thinking mind to the spiritual mind of Christ. Man must offer up his gold to the king.to cease from his own wisdom and works..to cease from mans device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Like the king of Tyre, with their own wisdom and their own understanding have they gotten riches..GOLD and silver. Gold = their own wisdom.silver = their understanding.

(Ezek 28:4 KJV) With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

The kings of darkness.many leaders of the churches.will refuse to give up their own great wisdom in order to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Their offerings .their gold .will not be acceptable in the day of salvation.

5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;

The works of earthly-thinking mans hands are idols.. silver and gold. Mans doctrines and commandments have no life in them. His works do not save him from the coming wrath of God.

(Psa 115:4 KJV) Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Like Cain, religious man has been a tiller of the ground.he has relied upon his own wisdom of the Scriptures and has produced fruits of the carnal mind. As carnal children, the church lives in divisions, envy and strife. He builds great church buildings, starts great ministries, sells great merchandise..all in the name of God. They are envious of each other by their successes. But these are fruits of the groundthe earthly mind.

(Gen 4:2 KJV) And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

Like Cains offering, He has no respect in these things.the fruits of the ground.the fruits of mans wisdom who labors to be rich in his church doings.

5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

But God commands men in every place to repent of his own works..to offer up his gold to the king..to cease from his own wisdom and works in order to receive Gods wisdom and do His righteous works. The weight of gold that came to Solomon in the year of salvation = 666. Man is to willingly give up his own wisdom, understanding and works for Gods wisdom and understanding and works in the day of revelation. What will man exchange for his own soul?

120 talents of gold come from Hiram:

(1 Ki 9:14 KJV) And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

420 talents of gold came from Ophir:

(1 Ki 9:28 KJV) And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

120 talents of gold came from Sheba:

(1 Ki 10:10 KJV) And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

So far this only totals 660 talents of gold: 120+420+120=660. The remaining 6 is the number of man.the offering of man. which is to cease from his own wisdomto cease from the works of his own hands. Man. all the earth is to seek Solomonthe wisdom of God.to hear with the ear His wisdom in our hearts.

(1 Ki 10:24 KJV) And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

The offering of man is to cease from his own wisdom.the vessels of gold in order to hear Gods wisdom. His present = his offering. Man is to cease from his works (6 days to work) and enter into Gods peace and safety that comes from hearing His wisdom. Solomon means peace and safety. Mans offering of his vessels of gold is the remaining 6 talents of gold that makes up the 666 talents of gold that came to Solomon. a rate, year by year.

25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

But there will be those merchantmen of the churches who will not offer their goldand yet they will be preaching peace and safety.the meaning of Solomon. Their gold is not included in Solomons rate of gold that came to him in a year. The wisdom of men and his works are not acceptable in the day of salvation. His "wonderful works" are works of iniquity.

(1 Th 5:3 KJV) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

They will continue on in their wresting of the Scriptures for their own covetousnessmaking merchandise of the Bible and the people who listen to them. They will think that they shall have peace to continue walking in the imagination of their own heartsand they will be preaching peace and safety Solomon..in the day of the revelation of the Truth. The last days are not the time to be heaping treasure together for their selves.The "drunkenness" is the wine of Babylon which is covetousness.

(Deu 29:19 KJV) And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

Their own wickedness shall eat their flesh as fireit will be upon their own heads.because they will have not listened to the Lord as He revealed the Truth to them in the last days.

20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

wow!

This is really good Wheeler and have never considered this way of looking at Solomon in all his glory.......666 talents of gold /truth /wisdom of man

reading this

And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Luk 12:27Consider the lilies how they grow:

they toil not, they spin not;

and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Lilies are mentioned alot in songs of Solomon ,

are the lilies how they grow a hidden truth or does the Lord mean this as literal ?

they are white from the root and as trumpets , like upright white ones H 7799 lexicon

feeds among the lilies ..Sgs 2:16My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth among the lilies.

I always remembered Jesus saying a greater than Solomon is here ,

speaking of the Wisdom of God and power of God being in Jesus Christ 1Cr 1:24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,

Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites,

so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
Luk 11:31The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation,

and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;

and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.

I am sorry I have not been able to say or be here much ,

we are so busy getting ready for winter in these parts ...

Thanks for the great scriptures and thoughts with them
Blessings C ..

Hi Chickapee, not sure about the meaning of the lilies. Thought about that before. You know me though, I think they are something to be spiritually discerned.

I can't believe winter is almost here. Winter is my favorite season here in south florida....not too cold...not too hot....mostly just right....with a few cold fronts that come to remind us it is winter time.

continuing thoughts.....

Man is to cease from his own wisdom of the Bible and those works based upon his own understanding that promote envy, strife and divisions in the church. Religious man is to offer up his own wisdom in order to enter into Gods wisdomHis restHis peace and safety. Man must cease from his own wisdom (666) and enter into His rest (7) .the true spiritual Sabbath. The number of man = 6. Man was created on the sixth day.man is to do all of his works on six days. But man is expected to rest from his laborswhich are done in his own earthly wisdom.

(Exo 20:9 KJV) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Man is expected to know the time.by the revealing of the Truth. Man is expected to do no works of his own hands with his own wisdom in the appointed day of His rest. We are to rest from our own earthly wisdom and labors in order to enter into His rest.to do true works of righteousness.

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Man has had his six days to do his own denominational works.which are religious works of vanity and vexation of the Spirit. Mans religious works are done under the sun of the day of adversity.

(Eccl 1:13 KJV) And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

In the day of adversity, religious man has built his denominationshis doctrines and commandments of men.which have brought adversity into the church.the envy, the divisions, the hatred, the strife, the blasphemies. But the day of prosperity is coming.the day when we rest from our heavy labors and enter into His rest and peace.

(Eccl 7:14 KJV) In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

The Lord will reveal His knowledge by the opening up the Scriptures to our understanding.then man can escape his denominations and doctrines and commandments that keep him in heavy labors. We are to come to Him.the Truth.which will be revealed in this last day.

(Mat 11:27 KJV) All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

We are to come to Him.all those who have labored and are heavy laden with religious mans burdens. Mans doctrines and commandments which are based on his earthly understanding of the Scriptures keep the people of God in bondage..in heavy toil.heavy laden by mans wisdom. He shall give us REST. We shall enter into His REST. There shall be peace and safety in doing so.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

We are to learn of Him.it is by His knowledge that we are to be made free from religious mans heavy burden of doctrines and commandments. Our souls shall find His rest.if we can rest from our own labors.our own wisdom. His knowledge comes to us meek and lowly of heart..and we are to receive His knowledge in such a way.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

The Lord's yoke is easy and His burden is light....as compared to the heavy burdens of religious man in his own wisdom and works.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

We are to cease from our own wisdom and humbly accept His.

(James 3:13 KJV) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

The wisdom of man brings bitter envying and strife into our hearts.

14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

The wisdom of man is earthly.sensualdevilish. The wisdom of man brings envy and strife.where there is confusion ( the meaning of Babylon) and every evil workin the day of adversity.

15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

But Gods heavenly wisdom is first PURE and then PEACEFUL.GENTLE.full of mercy and good fruits of the Spirit.

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

WE are to enter into His peace by humbly accepting His knowledgeHis Truth.His wisdom that is from above.

18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

We are to enter into His rest as Noah entered into the ark. Noah means rest. We are to make peace..the fruit of righteousness is PEACE.

(Gen 7:1 KJV) And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

Noah means rest..our God shall comfort us concerning our religious, heavy-laden works and the toil of our own hands. Mans religious works and toil brings divisions, strife and envy. The groundthe earthly worksbrings those things upon those who are bogged down in them.

(Gen 5:29 KJV) And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.

But there shall be no more curse..we shall do His works. WE are the servants that shall serve Him in true righteousness. No more shall there be denominationsdivisions, envy and strife..and hatred within the church. By His knowledge, we shall cease from our own wisdom and works and enter into His rest.and do the works of God.

(Rev 22:3 KJV) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

We shall see His face.His knowledgeand be productive with His wisdom.

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

But there will be men who will not cease from their own wisdom..and labors.in the revealing of His knowledge in the Scripture of Truth. They will not enter into His rest because they will, in religious pride, stick to their denominational thinking and earthly ways. They will not make that offering to Gods wisdom..they will not give up their own wisdom..the gold. They will not repent of the works of their own hands.their idols of goldtheir own wisdomtheir own doctrines and commandments of men. They will not repent of their wresting of the Scriptures for the covetousness they harbor in their own hearts.

(Rev 9:20 KJV) And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

There shall be no more curseno more divisions and strife.to those who shall humbly accept Gods heavenly wisdom.

(Isa 57:16 KJV) For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

It was for covetousness in the church that many have been smote and He had hid His faceHis Truth.

17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

But our God shall heal us.He will lead us into His restHis peace.His safety. He shall restore comforts to us..to those who mourn for our sins at the revelation of the Truth.

18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.

He shall give us His peace and safetyHe shall heal us.

19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea.when it cannot rest. There will be religious men who will not cease from their laborsfrom their own wisdom (666).from their works of the earthly understanding of the Scriptures. There shall be no peace to those who will continue on in their denominational thinking.

20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

And YET, that is what they will be preaching in the face of the revealed Truth.they shall be preaching peace and safety in their denominations when there will be none. Solomon means peace and safety..they will think they will have peace and safety in continuing in their own wisdom and works of darkness.

(1 Th 5:3 KJV) For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

They will seek to stay in their sleep.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

They will seek to stay drunk in their own covetousness.which is the wine of Babylon.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

The wrath of God will come upon all those who will make light of His knowledge.who will disesteem it.and take away from His Word.. and in pride seek to keep their religious, denominational lives. They will rise up in their pride and contradict His Truth.

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

continued in next post....

Wheeler · Nov 13, 2010

....continued from previous post..

The Lords knowledge and wisdom comes to us in lowly and in meekness..as Jesus rode into Jerusalem upon a donkey. We are to humbly accept His knowledge and lay down our own wisdom and works in order to enter into His rest. But the wrath of God will come upon those who will stubbornly stay in the temple buying and selling their doctrines of men in the covetousness of their hearts.who will continue to make merchandise of the Word of God and His people. The "voice" of the Day of the Lord comes.

(Zep 1:14 KJV) The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

The Word of God will be swift and powerful in the day of wrath against those who will not humbly accept His wisdom.

15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

A day of the trumpet and alarm shall sound against those who will cling onto mans wisdom.against the high towers of the pride of religious man.

16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

They will be like blind men.stumbling in their distress that will be brought upon thembecause they will have refused to humbly accept His heavenly Truth and seek to keep their own wisdom and works. They will be like the troubled sea.not knowing peace and rest.

17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

Their wonderful works shall not save them then. Mans works and doctrines and wisdom will not save himself from the coming wrath of God.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

We are to hear His wisdom in this last day. We are to TURN at His reproofHis instructionHis rebuke. He shall pour out His Spirit of Truth to those who will humbly accept His Truth. He shall make known His words..the Word of Godthe Scripture of Truth. He shall lead us into all knowledge and Truth that has been hidden in the Bible.

(Prov 1:23 KJV) Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

There will be a calling out to us..and invitationto enter into His wisdom and rest. We are to rest from our own labors and do the works of His righteousness. Yet, there will be those who will refuse this call....they will not regard His wonderful revelation of the Truth.

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

There will be those who will set at nought all His counsel..His reproof.

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

The wrath of God will come upon those who will disesteem His wisdomHis knowledge in order to exalt themselves in their own religious, earthly wisdom and works.

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

They will THEN seek Him when their calamities start to come upon them: did we not prophesy in your name.did we not do wonderful works in your name?

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

The calamities will come upon them because they will have not chosen to fear the Lord when He revealed the Truth to them.they will have hated His knowledge.

29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

They will eat the fruit of their own ways.their own wickedness shall burn themin their distress.because they will have turned their ears from hearing His revealed Truth in this last day.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

They will not offer up their own wisdom (666) in order to humbly accept His. Instead, they will seek to cling on to their own covetousness...in their own wisdom.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

But those who will hear and obey His revealed wisdom shall dwell in TRUE PEACE AND SAFETY.

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

God sends the Truth...His Son...into the world...so that we may be saved.

(John 3:17 KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

We are to believe in the revealed Truth...the revelation of Christ Jesus.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

We are to rest from our own deeds....our own works of darkness...and enter into His LIGHT....into His rest...into His peace and safety.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Yet, there will be religious, denominational men who will hate this LIGHT....who will hate His knowledge...His wisdom. They will hate His reproof. They will refuse His wisdom....and stubbornly seek to cling onto their own earthly, dark wisdom. They will continue in their evil works....they will continue to do their deeds...not ceasing from their own thoughts and works (666) in order to come into His rest....the "7."

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

But he that listens to wisdom and does the Truth comes to the LIGHT....the knowledge of God. They will humbly accept His Truth....they will cease from their own wisdom and works.....they will accept His reproof of their deeds.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Wheeler · Nov 14, 2010

The number of man is 6. Man is to cease from his religious labors and enter into His spiritual rest.in the 7th. Religious man has worked his own works and taught his own religious teachings in error for a spiritually-discerned 6 days. But the Day approaches in which man is expected to cease from those works and enter into His rest. Religious man is to cease from his denominational works and doctrines in the last day and receive and do the Truth. We will then know peace and unity among us.and we shall do the works of Godinstead of the heavy-laden works of man whose words of knowledge are in error and cause strife and divisions. We are to cease from religious, denominational mans erroneous instruction. Denominational mans words of knowledge are words of darkness. Denominational mans works are works of darkness. We are to cease from erroneous words of knowledge when we hear His instruction.His knowledgein this last day.

(Prov 19:27 KJV) Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

Religious man is to cease from his strife and envy.when we hear the spiritual Truth being revealed in this last day.

(Prov 20:3 KJV) It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

Religious man is to cease from his own wisdom and works (666).

(Prov 23:4 KJV) Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

We are to BELIEVE in the revealed Truth when we shall hear it in this last day. We are to remember the examples of not believing. We are to believe in the revelation of the spiritual Truth in order to enter into His rest.

(Heb 3:18 KJV) And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

The example could not enter into the Promised Land because of unbelief. Likewise, there will be those in the church today who will not enter into the Truth because of their unbelief when they will hear it. They will turn their ears from the Truth and not be able to enter into His rest.the 7.

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

They will not believe in the eternal gospel that is to be preached in this last day. Our Lord comes to open up the Scriptures for our understanding in this last day. He comes to give us His knowledge so that we may escape the envy, strife, divisions of religious, denominational, covetous man.

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Our Lord comes to open up the Scriptures in its spiritual witness.and we are to hear and believe in His revealed Word. The Scriptures have given its witness in its earthly witness.the first man is of the earth. But our Lord comes to preach the spiritual message of the Scriptures..the greater witness.

(1 Cor 15:46 KJV) Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

The words of the Bible have borne the image of the earthy.the plain, historical meaning.BUT the words of the witnesses shall have their words transfigured into their spiritual witness.into the heavenly wisdom of God.which makes the Word of God incorruptible and powerful.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

And we are not to refuse this heavenly witness.for God speaks from heaven when He transfigures the Scriptures from its earthly witness into its heavenly witness. In a twinkle of an eye, the Word shall change from the corruptible, earthly understanding into the spiritual, incorruptible understanding an AHA moment for those who are watching. We are to receive His heavenly preaching of the Wordfor it is Truth.we are NOT to turn away from His spiritual witness and seek to cling on to the earthly, corruptible witness.

(Heb 12:25 KJV) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

The earthly understanding of the Scriptures is what is to be removed..to be shakenso that the spiritual witness of them may remain. NO longer shall we see the Bible after the flesh of mans understandingbut after the Spiritthe Spirit of Truth.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

The earthly witness of the Bible is the lesser light that has ruled the "night".but the spiritual preaching of the Truth.Christ Jesus.is the greater light that rules the Day of salvation.

(Gen 1:16 KJV) 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.

John the Baptist represents the earthly witness of the Law and the Prophets.

(Luke 16:16 KJV) The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

The earthly witness of the Scriptures is the lesser light that has ruled the night. The Scriptures in the spiritual understanding of the mind of Christ is the greater light that is preached from heaven in the Day of salvation. The earthly witness must decrease..the spiritual witness of the Scriptures must increase. The spiritual Truth is to be revealed..and the earthly understanding fades away.

(John 3:30 KJV) He must increase, but I must decrease.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth that speaks from heaven. He that comes from heaven is above all..above the earthly understanding of the Scriptures.

31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

He that will believe in the spiritual preaching of Christ Jesus .his heavenly, spiritual witness.the transfiguring of the Scriptures from its earthly, corruptible understanding into its spiritual, incorruptible understanding.shall have true LIFE. Those that will not believe because it is much different than their own denominational doctrines shall not have life. The Lords heavenly interpretation of the Scriptures is what we are to hearwe are to hear Him who speaks to us from heaven.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

IF we hear Him and believe, we shall enter into His rest.if we can cease from our own wisdom and works. We are to enter into His spiritual Sabbath and do the TRUE works of righteousness. We are to be preachers of His revealed Truth..to preach the kingdom of God. IN Christ Jesus, we are to heal the sickthose who are bogged down in their denominational envy and strife and divisions.

(Luke 9:1 KJV) Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

In Christ Jesus, we are to heal the lame..on the spiritual Sabbath. We are to do the works of Godto preach His revealed Truthto lead others to the Way of righteousness so that they may walk in Him.

(John 5:9 KJV) And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

On the spiritual Sabbath day, in Christ Jesus we are to open the eyes of the blind.to preach the revealed Truth.the Light of men. We are to do the works of the Father on the spiritual Sabbath.

(John 9:14 KJV) And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

In Christ Jesus, we are to heal others with the preaching of the revealed Truth.on the spiritual Sabbath day. Mans works cannot heal those who are working them. Man cannot heal himself in the six days of religious burdens.

(Luke 13:14 KJV) And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

The church shall be loosened from its bondage.on the spiritual Sabbath dayby the preaching of the TruthChrist Jesus. We are to gently instruct the churches and hope that God will grant them repentance to the knowledge of the Truth and that they may escape the snare of Satan that have taken them at his will.

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Christ Jesus comes to open up the Book to preach to us the spiritual, heavenly witness of the Scriptures.on the spiritual Sabbath. Those that will hear and believe can then enter into His rest.and do His works of true righteousness.

(Luke 4:16 KJV) And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

In Him, we are to preach to the spiritually poor.to heal the brokenhearted.to preach deliverance to those who are in bondage to mans religious doctrines, commandments and denominations. In Christ Jesus, we are to preach to the blind so that they may recover their sight.

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,

When we hear the preaching of the revealed, spiritual Truth, it will be the "acceptable year of the Lord" in which religious man can receive His mercy and forgiveness. Man can then be set at liberty. The Truth shall set us free.

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Isa 30:26Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun,

and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,

as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,

and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Jhn 9:39And Jesus said,

For judgment I am come into this world,

that they which see not might see;

and that they which see might be made blind.
