JACOB'S LADDER

THE WALL SHALL FALL

SHALL THE WALL FALL

You ever get a troubling thought that you can’t seem to get out of your head? You ever think this thought may be God warning you of events to come, or challenging you to step out in faith and share what most would consider completely ridiculous?

Well, this happens to me quite often. Go figure, “no not you Jacob, you totally seem to be on the level with most religious thinkers today.” the peanut gallery says. 🙂 lol

In any event, usually I keep these thoughts to myself, but more, and more, lately it seems I am being challenged by myself, and others to share some of these things. As they may indeed be something that the world needs to read, for more reasons than just that these thoughts may literally be true and literally happen, God knows, not me.

In the past, I have felt strongly that I must share something, and only shared with a chosen few, and then realized what a fool I was not to step out in faith and say, “hey I know this sounds a bit off, but guess what, I believe so and so may soon happen.”

The last time this happened, was this past Easter, with the MexiCali earthquake. I knew in my heart an Earthquake was coming on Easter, (see my article TWELVE DISCIPLES IN YOU) for the timestamp email I sent out the day before. I had it on my heart to share that news, yet I didn’t, because I thought to myself… “This may not be true” “People will think I’ve gone even deeper off the deep end then they say I have already.”

Well, after the Earthquake hit, I prayed and asked God, what I was supposed to learn from this. I flipped open my bible and came to the book of Jonah and then it dawned on me. I was like Jonah.

You see, Jonah was scared to tell the people of Nineveh to Repent, because A) He thought they would kill him for saying such things. B) Because he didn’t believe it would matter at all. C) He didn’t believe they would listen. — My personal Jonah issue was D) I didn’t know if what I was thinking was true or not.

I mean how do we really EVER know. We get feelings inside of us, sometimes things happen, sometimes they don’t. God’s ways are above Man’s. So I didn’t know truly if what I thought would occur would occur, as I am not sure what I am about to share is going to occur, or if this is just a symbol of something spiritual within me, that God is dealing with. In any event, I’m stepping out in faith and sharing it. (Remember, I have no real understanding of whether or not this is really going to happen. I just keep thinking about it. And I have had some strange bits of comfirmation that have made me feel like I would be unfaithful NOT TO SHARE.) – So, regardless if this happens or not, there is SOMETHING here that we will, and can, ALL LEARN FROM. That much I know to be true.

I have been praying lately, that God would increase my faith and boldness to step out in that faith. And this article is on HUGE STEP for me. Because what I have been thinking about lately is a very specific event, the question is, it is Imagined (created out of my carnal mind), is it allegorical in meaning (a symbol of what God is doing spiritually), or is it literally going to happen?

Then of course the big question is do you go out on a limb and say, “Hey everyone, got something that sounds a little nutty to tell you.” Then the worry that follows, “What if it doesn’t happen?” “What will people think?” “What if it does, what will that mean?” Worse still, would I become one of those wackado’s that make crazy bold claims and God says, “I haven’t told you thus!”

That is a whole mess of worry and doubt, over a troubling thought that I feel like I am supposed to write about. Don’t you think?

Why is it so easy, for so many other men and women to make bold proclamations saying, “Thus sayeth the Lord” and then none of what they say comes to pass? The people don’t seem to mind much, they keep coming back for more. I really don’t get it. I mean, don’t these so-called Profits struggle with the same worry as I do. Do they return to God again and again and say, “Lord is this what you really want? Is this really going to happen? Am I off my rocker here? Do I just have an overactive imagination?”

Well, I would like all of you to consider how many RELUCTANT PROPHETS there were in the Old testaments. Moses, Jeremiah, Elijah, Isaiah, Amos. They all struggled with their calling. Even Jesus prayed, “Lord take this cup from me” but not my will be done!

And that is the key, I don’t want my will. I want God’s will. The question is sometimes, it is hard to really know. Even after sign and sign is given.

The sign of Jonah, TELL THE PEOPLE TO REPENT, after being the belly of Hell, and Rising out of it. Is that what is going on here? God knows, not me.

How many prophets like Jonah, did not want to do, and say, what God told them. Perhaps like me, for Jonah and other prophets, it wasn’t so clear to hear God.

Perhaps it was a thought in Jonah’s head. Maybe it was in IDEA that came to him. And Jonah said, “NAH, THAT CAN’T BE TRUE!”

After all God speaks in a still small voice. Perhaps, Jonah had this “seemingly crazy” idea pop into his head, “I should go over to Ninevah and tell them to get their act together.” And then Jonah was like, THAT’S NUTS! They would kill me, call me a lunatic, and even if it was true they wouldn’t listen. SURELY GOD DOESN’T WANT ME TO DO THIS?

Psalm 49:4
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

God doesn’t speak to us clearly, where would be our faith if the literal clouds opened up and he said, “Jacob tell the people this, or do that, and don’t forget to buckle up IT’S THE LAW!”

No God doesn’t speak in LOUD EVENTS.

1 Kings 19:12
And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

God’s words become clear to us, after we SUFFER because we didn’t HEAR him through all the clutter in our mind to begin with.

Maybe, like me, Jonah, thought that this “IDEA” that came to him, was his pride. Maybe he was like, “Oh I’m a big sinner, because I’m looking down on these people for the way they live, how terrible it is for me to think God will destroy their city and tear down their WALL if they don’t turn things around.” —

News flash, if these are the thoughts going through my head at times, why would it be any different for Jonah, Moses, and others?

I mean if they really heard God clearly and KNEW without a shadow of a doubt what they were meant to do. Then why all the running, hiding in caves, departing into the wilderness, fearing for their lives, etc. etc.

Don’t you think, IF THEY KNEW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT they would have did it. THE WAY GOD INTENDED? … But no, I believe like us, God speaks and it isn’t as clear as we would like, BECAUSE WE ARE YET WALKING IN THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.

God provides a multitude of shows and we pass them off as “coincidence”. And then if we put all of these clues aside and say, “Surely what I am thinking is not God’s will” and it IS GOD’S WILL… Then we haven’t been faithful in what has been given.

Luke 12:48
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

So today, I am stepping out in faith. Whether what I am about to share is going to literally happen or not, is not going to concern me… Okay, that’s a fib, IT DOES CONCERN ME… This is something I have never done publically before. But I know that if it be literal or allegorical, there is a reason for me to share this.

You know how I know… BECAUSE I’M SHARING IT! 🙂

Sometimes we need to STEP OUT and be willing to look foolish, and be willing to be wrong, and be willing to take the chance that what is on our heart just might be true.

Now, this doesn’t mean that any and every bizarre thought that comes to mind we should shout to the rooftops. Believe me when I say, I have spoken to many about this, prayed about this and have seen many CLUES along the way.

Some clues are funny, when you think about them. For example ONE CLUE, was that PINK FLOYD was reuniting for THE WALL tour. (Ridiculous as it seems, that is just one, in many)

Another happened yesterday as I was watching a video, and this scripture stood out to me.

Luke 19:40
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

Now stones in scripture mean many things. A Stone could be Christ, the law, the very things in our lives sealing us in the tomb of ignorance, the things that stand in the way of the SHEEP getting watered, etc. etc…

However, when I saw this scripture I thought, how does a STONE LITERALLY CRY OUT and make a STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE?

Well, it has been taught that Jesus was talking about literal STONES crying out and praising God, but when you take this chapter in context. Jesus is speaking with the Pharisees and pointing out their wickedness. Look at the next verse.

41And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

Why would Jesus weep over the city of Jerusalem. Because they were putting their faith in man made traditions, man made teachings, man made things, like the MAN MADE TEMPLE as we put our faith in the MAN MADE CHURCH! They were putting their faith in greed, this is why he soon overturns the money changers tables, releases the doves etc…

And sadly this is going on today people. Go to any conference and event. In the outer court/foyer/hallway you will see tables lined with the SACRAFICES TO SELL… oils, books, cd’s, tee-shirt, gum, coffee, video’s, music… Man Made Church is a MARKET PLACE and a DEN OF THIEVES today. This is why judgment (correction) is come.

Now read the rest of this Chapter.

42Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

Jesus is telling them, that God is going to DESTROY everything they have put their FAITH IN. And this, is the reason I am writing this paper today. Because I believe that may be happening again. The truth has been hid from the eyes of the Religious, they cling to their traditions and vain teachings. And God is beginning to show in the physical what he is doing in the spiritual. He is slowly but surely tearing down all the High Places of man. And with what I have been thinking about, and the above scripture dealing with Stones Crying out… I began to see this as a WALL FALLING and the sound the stones make.

Then not a half hour later, when speaking to my friend Dean, I asked him to grab his bible, to play some bible roulette LOL…. But as I waited for him to grab it, he said… “Okay, this is what I just opened up to… Habakkuk 2:11: For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.”

My face turns a shade of white. What a coincidence… or as I like to say now “COME IN AND SEE DENSE ONE”

Very bizarre indeed, yet another clue, and puzzle piece backing up what I had been thinking about. So I began to share this terrible thought with some friends, like Dean, and Charles (JesusReligion.com) and they both said the same thing to me. “You should tell people. There is nothing wrong with saying, hey this has been on your mind lately, that you don’t really know what it means, but perhaps we should all think about it.”

So let me come to point of this paper already. For weeks now I have been thinking of literal land of Israel… The place millions around the world call the Holy Land. Mind you, only God is HOLY AND GOOD… No piece of literal earth is HOLY.

Even Jesus said, He “Jesus” wasn’t good, only GOD WAS GOOD.

Mark 10:18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Mankind is not Good, the temporal earth is not Good, Israel is not good or holy. It is just another country, like any other country in the world. And the WORLD and ALL IN IT are the LORDS.

God does not esteem one man or country above another.

Many mistake the literal land of ISRAEL for the ISRAEL that IS WITHIN (Christ).

Hosea 11:1
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

So just like any other HIGH PLACE that is EXALTED above God, it must be TORN DOWN. We see the POPE being Torn down at the moment, we see man made traditions like Christmas, Easter, and Others being torn down… Can’t say Merry Christmas in any major stores, it’s happy holidays now… And the religious cry out, “THEY ARE TAKING CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTMAS, They are ALLOWING GAYS TO MARRY, OUR TAX EXEMPT STATUS is not in question, WE’RE ALL BECOMING SOCIALISTS!!!!! It’s the enemy, IT’S THE DEVIL!!!!!”

Yet God is doing all this. God does all for his good pleasure.

Amos 3:6
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

Listen, the Promise land is not literal Israel. It is the Kingdom of God, which is within.

This is YET another big idol in Religion today. People make their annual trips to this so-called Holy Land, and yet never once bother to journey within. And look, I want to go there too. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that, Israel is bautiful and it would be so very cool to see all the places where Jesus stood, etc… BUT, going there does not bring you any closer to God. The literal LAND of ISRAEL is NOT THE PROMISE LAND, it was SYMBOL of the KINGDOM OF GOD WITHIN!

This is why I kept thinking, the WALL IS COMING DOWN, The Wall is coming down.

I don’t know why, but it just made sense to me. The West Wall where so many stick their prayers, kiss the stones, and pray, sing, and dance in front of, as if this wall was GOD itself. As if sticking a prayer in this wall, would expedite these prayers to be answered. I know many ministries even take the prayers of their partners to Israel and place the prayers in the wall. It seems like a nice thing to do, and it is. Nevertheless it is far from what God wants to be done.

So I get this Idea, that something may befall literal Israel, and in particular this Wailing Wall, and of course for weeks I keep my mouth shut about it. I pray about it, and I play bible roulette begging God to open my eyes to what this all means.

Is this imagined, allegorical, literal, and why do I feel like I am supposed to write about it? SURELY THIS SOUNDS NUTTY! But if God be in control of all things, and I believe God is, WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE TO SHARE WHAT I AM TO SHARE?

Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

No one can stop what God wants done. No one can keep God’s will from being done!

And it is GOD’S will that ALL be saved and come to the Knowledge of the TRUTH.

1 Timothy 2:4
Who WILL have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Oh I know many of you will say… Well that what God wants, (to have all mankind saved) but that isn’t going to happen… Well WAKE UP PEOPLE, God works all things to ACCOMPLISH HIS WILL.

Ephesians 1:11
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh ALL things after the counsel of his own WILL:

His will is to have all men saved, that is why we are all predestined to be saved, this is why we all died in ADAM, so we would ALL be made ALIVE IN CHRIST.

So, really, whether what I am writing is going to happen or not, I am meant to write and share this paper. I don’t claim to know God’s will, I don’t claim to know without a shadow of a doubt that the WEST WALL MAY BE coming down, somehow, someway, whether it be now or in FORTY DAYS as was the case with Jonah. But I am taking my friends advice and sharing this troubling thought.

Here is the reason, if it happens perhaps people will begin to turn their faces toward God again. And if not, perhaps this article will give people something to think about when it comes to putting your faith in TEMPORAL THINGS instead of ETERNAL.

I have to be honest, sharing this article has taken me way out of my comfort zone. But perhaps that is what FAITH is… Stepping out where you have never been before, willing to put your neck on the line regardless of the outcome in hopes that you are doing the will of God.

There is a reason, I have been thinking this terrible thought. I have not had any visions of it, not dreams about it… But I have been THINKING ON IT.

Isaiah 14:24
The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

I hope this article has in no way offended any of you. But if this is something that any of you have been “Thinking” on lately, please comment, if not. Please think on these words as to why they were recorded this morning. Because I sure don’t really know why. Of course I wouldn’t want to see anything like that happen, but perhaps it is all just picture of the WALLS in our hearts that we put our faith in that GOD is going to TEAR DOWN!!!! And as the STONES FALL they shall cry OUT, “Return to me, says the Lord of Hosts!”

I will leave you will one last confirming CLUE, that hit me yesterday.

Ezekiel 13
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 3Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

4 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 5Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. 6They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.

7Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken? 8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I AM AGAINST YOU, saith the Lord GOD.

9And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 10Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:

11Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that IT SHALL FALL:

It’s time to come out of Babylon everyone. It is time to run for the HILLS of GOD. Because if you don’t when, and if, these and other things come to pass, you will believe you are under attack as opposed to seeing God is trying to wake everyone out of our slumber.

And if these things be true, I pray no one will be hurt physically. I pray only for God’s will to be done in my life and the lives of others, and GOD WILLS ALL TO BE SAVED AND COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.

“Nothing is ever lost that isn’t recovered and when it is, it is one thousand times more precious then when it was lost to begin with.”

Look to the very important but least known Jewish Holy day, Shavout… This year it begins May 18th. Here is a brief history of it. During this time, there is a “pedestrian pilgrimage”. Early on Shavuot morning -– after a full night of Torah learning — the streets of Jerusalem are filled with tens of thousands of Jews walking to the WESTERN WALL.This tradition has biblical precedence.

Shavuot is one of Judaism’s three main pilgrimage festivals, where the entire nation would gather in Jerusalem for celebration and study.

Now look at the importance of this Jewish Holy day.

This is the anniversary of Matan Torah, the giving of the Torah, at Mount Sinai. It also MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER HARVEST.

What does Shavuot mean?

The Torah refers to the holiday of Shavuot with three names: Chag HaKatzir – the REAPING HOLIDAY
Yom HaBikkurim – Day of the FIRST FRUITS
Shavout – Weeks

Will the wall come down on or around this festival, I do not know. But it sure would blow the minds of the thousands pilgriming there.

If not a wonderful allegory, of the WALL inside of us all, called the VEIL that is soon to come crumbling down around us. But either way, I belive the STONES WILL CRY OUT TO THE WORLD. Peace Jacob

Much love to you all, Jacob

SHALL NOT TASTE DEATH?

April 13, 2010September 9, 2011Jacob Israel13 Comments

SHALL NOT TASTE DEATH?

Luke 9:27
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, till they see the kingdom of God.

By the end of this essay, you won’t read that scripture the same way, that I promise you. If you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

You see, for some time now there has been a teaching out there, that some of Jesus’ disciples are somehow still walking around today, alive and well, and never physically died.

This false belief is another reason, everyone is waiting for the day their TEMPORAL physical body will become immortal, instead of focusing on attaining true eternal life. Which is only found be looking within.

John 17:3
And THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Very clearly Jesus spells out what Eternal Life is. It is to KNOW GOD, and the CHRIST WITHIN. Now of course, this does not mean that we are not infinite beings, WE ARE!!! But our finite physical bodies (the outward man) perish.

2 Corinthians 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

What a sad and terrible teaching it is, to state that one day our temporal bodies will become infinite bodies. I see so many that have great understanding, but still cling to this fallacy. And it brings them great sadness as they grow older and their eyesight fades or illness attacks their body. They watch their loved ones die and wonder WHAT HAPPENED TO ME LIVING FOREVER?

You see that is the problem to being with. WE (as we are) don’t live forever, CHRIST (the SPIRIT within) lives forever, the SPIRIT within is infinite, our temporal bodies perish. Our mistake is to think we are this body as opposed to understanding our LIFE is HIDDEN IN CHRIST. (We are Christ, when Christ be risen). Too much? Okay, well back on topic then.

Think of your physical body as a car that you drive around in for a time, but soon that car brakes down. Now the good news is, that isn’t the end for us, we continue on, JUST NOT AS WE ARE/WERE.

For some, who have not attained the Truth, they enter the physical womb of the world again to reap what they have sown and learn more. Like graduating from one class, flunking and having to do it over again. This world is our classroom, this is our hope, BECAUSE GOD IS THE GREATEST OF TEACHERS.

When we understand that our temporal bodies are merely vehicles we can learn from, and put our faith in the UNSEEN and take our faith away from the SEEN (physical body), then WE will have overcome this WORLD (Lust of the eyes, flesh, pride of life)

Like the other science fiction beliefs out there like the rapture, eternal torture, we can add this false teaching (that some of Jesus’ disciples are alive today in their same body from thousands of years ago) to the list.

Oh and what damage this belief has done to those that are sick and dying. They are taught that, “If only they have enough faith, they will not TASTE DEATH.” And then, low and behold, they taste physical death… You see, physical death is part of the process people, it is an allegory if you will. But to learn this we must stop putting our faith in OUTWARD APPEARANCES!

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

God does not save the OUTWARD MAN! He does not make INFINITE the TEMPORAL BODY… I cannot tell you how many insightful teachers I have met over the years that have let go of so many of Babylon’s teachings, yet cling to this one for dear LIFE.

“What of the GLORIFIED BODY that is promised?” they ask.

Well, we are the BODY OF CHRIST, and when he is RISEN, then he is GLORIFIED in the body.

2 Thessalonians 1:10
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

This has nothing at all to do, with our flesh bodies becoming like superman being able to live for ever and leap tall building in a simple bound. The Glorified Body, is the WITNESS OF GOD in US. Period.

The reason why many have mistaken THEIR PHYSICAL BODY for the LIFE that ANIMATES the physical body, is because of the erroneous teaching out there that brain wash believers to put their faith in the outward man, as opposed to the inward. You see CHRIST is our LIFE… And LIFE is not TEMPORAL or PHYSICAL but SPIRITUAL.

The KINGDOM does not come (is not revealed) physically, but INWARDLY.

So let this essay be a wake up call for you all… The TEMPORAL WORLD is NOT and will NEVER BE ETERNAL.

2 Corinthians 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

If you can PHYSICALLY SEE IT, FEEL IT, TASTE IT, SMELL IT, then it is SENSUAL not SPIRITUAL. And the SENSUAL world is the problem to begin with.

Now, I know some of you will say, WHAT OF THOSE JESUS SAID WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH!

Well let me open your eyes by pointing out the simple revelation of what this scripture literally means. (And as always, I COULD BE WRONG SO SEEK GOD, but I HIGHLY DOUBT IT)

So let me tackle some of these verses for you, and put things in PERSPECTIVE (your perception).

Luke 9:27
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, till they see the kingdom of God.

The key word here is TILL, UNTIL… In plain terms, Jesus is saying you will not taste death (your ignorance) until the Kingdom of God (reign and truth of God) is revealed to you. – But I know, for some further explanation is necessary. So here goes it!

In Luke chapter 9, Jesus is talking to a group of his followers. He is telling them they need to DENY THEMSELVES and pick up their cross.

Jesus is not teaching them to EMBRACE THEMSELVES and their PHYSICAL BODIES. He is NOT saying they will be infinite beings in their TEMPORARY BODIES. No, the opposite is true. He is making it clear to them, they must BELIEVE the TRUTH and FOLLOW, and DIE to their old ways and beliefs.

25For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

Jesus is teaching them, that the OUTWARD WORLD and all of its trappings (Including the physical body) means nothing. The only thing that matters is TAKING UP THE CROSS, which means DYING TO YOURSELF (EGO).

Which brings us to the verse that so many have taught so ignorantly wrong.

Luke 9:27
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, till they see the kingdom of God.

Now, let’s first really look at what is being said… Jesus is saying, They will NOT taste of DEATH… UNTIL they see the Kingdom of God… Did you catch that?

JESUS IS SAYING THEY WILL TASTE DEATH! He is NOT saying they will NOT TASTE DEATH… Jesus is clearly saying, they WILL NOT TASTE DEATH UNTIL THE KINGDOM IS REVEALED!

Oh, you catching on now? Good.

It’s funny, LITERALLY, what is being said here is that THEY WILL TASTE DEATH! They will. Jesus is NOT SAYING they will NEVER TASTE DEATH, he is saying…

Luke 9:27
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, till they see the kingdom of God.

And according to JESUS the Kingdom of God is not only HERE in the NOW, but it is WITHIN. And cannot be literally SEEN. This has to do with the REVELATION OF THE TRUTH “church”.

You see there were people around Jesus, who had NO IDEA how truly DEAD (Carnal, ignorant) they were. They thought they were alive. They thought they were LIVING, as so many of us believe until we are enlightened to the Kingdom.

Jesus knew that MANY AROUND HIM, listening to him, were ignorant. He knew that they would not understand how LOST they were UNTIL THE KINGDOM OF GOD was revealed.

First let us consider what DEATH, Jesus is talking about here. If the Kingdom does not come with observation (meaning you cant literally see it) then this Death is the same.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is DEATH; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

The Carnal Mind is the IGNORANT MIND. This is DEATH. But for the LOST have no idea that they are DEAD men and women walking IN ADAM.

1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all DIE, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Jesus is not talking about LITERAL DEATH. He is not saying some of the people standing around him will be walking the earth like THE HIGHLANDER (80’s movie google it) “THERE SHALL BE ONLY ONE!!!!!”

No, Jesus is saying, they will not UNDERSTAND what DEATH really is, until the KINGDOM (REIGN) OF GOD – (righteousness, peace, and joy) is revealed to them.

Now, here is the good news. They WILL TASTE Death. They will understand that THEY WERE ONCE IGNORANT, and THEN they will know TRUE LIFE, which is CHRIST, the Hope of Glory.

Now, let’s talk about the TASTE aspect here. I hope you know that Death isn’t something you can put in your mouth and literally taste… If you did, it would probably taste pretty nasty. Allegorically, when we TASTE our own IGNORANCE it is pretty nasty as well… Moving on!

Wel I hope you understand the symbolism. But if you dont…

When food is placed before you, and you have never EATEN it. To truly UNDERSTAND what it is you are about to eat, you must TASTE IT.

If you are blindfolded and your loved one is having you try all sorts of foods, (It’s fun try it) to see if you can guess what they are. Just by taste you can understand an orange, pasta, a potato chip, chocolate mmmmmmnnnnn! Get my meaning? Can anyone say WHIP CREAM…. “Out of the gutter Jacob!” 🙂 Have I mentioned how crazy in love I am with my wife?

So TASTE is an ALLEGORY. It means, to understand what something is. And, this is EXACTLY what Jesus is saying here. He was just telling those around them, they need to DENY THEMSELVES. Jesus just fed the multitude, they weren’t following because they truly understood what he was SAYING/TEACHING… They were following because of all they HEARD Jesus had done. These that were with Jesus were still so carnal and lost. This is why he said…

23And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

They hadn’t denied themselves yet, so they weren’t IN THE KINGDOM.

They were DEAD and didn’t know it, yet. Like many religious today, like Paul before his conversion… They thought they were alive and well, but Jesus was about to show them HOW DEAD THEY WERE.

Now, to do this, the TRUTH needed to be revealed to them.

25For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

He was trying to show them, the TEMPORAL WORLD and all of its trappings MEAN NOTHING. You can lose the TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST, by putting your faith in who you think you are in the Flesh. (Which is exactly what many are doing by believing this scripture means some of those around Jesus are still alive and well today). As opposed to understanding that once the TRUTH was revealed to them, they understood (TASTED) death (to be CARNALLY MINDED)

26For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

Jesus is telling them. LOOK if you don’t believe the words I’m telling you will NEVER know the TRUTH. He understood many of those with him, could not possibly fathom what he was saying, as I am sure there may be some reading this that can’t get what I am writing… And as Jesus said, I will say the same…

There be some READING this article that will not UNDERSTAND how IGNORANT and CARNAL they are UNTIL THE TRUTH is revealed to them.

Seems, almost foolish now, to think we once believed this scripture meant that Jesus somehow magically made some people live forever in their TEMPORAL BODIES.

We have to stop seeing the word DEATH and thinking it means physically dying. None of us go away, EVERYTHING THAT IS HAS ALWAYS BEEN. Read the book of Ecclesiastes. We don’t just go away when our physical bodies die, we go on. God makes everything beautiful in its time and if it ain’t our time, in the next life or the one following perhaps it will be… But, that is not what this paper is about.

This essay is about putting the rest the LIE that there are some disciples walking around today in the same body they had thousands of years ago… By now, I hope you understand what TASTING DEATH means.

Psalm 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Matthew 16:28
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

People will not taste (UNDERSTAND) their ignorance (death) until they UNDERSTAND the CHRIST (TRUTH) that is within.

Remember, “Church” the Kingdom is not coming soon,from some far, far, away in a galaxy… NO! I say again, as horse says NEY! You see the KINGDOM IS WITHIN. And the longer you put your faith in things OUTSIDE of YOU, the LONGER you will remain DEAD and NOT KNOW IT.

The only way to NOT TASTE DEATH (To understand you are ignorant) is to KNOW GOD, and keep the sayings of CHRIST in your heart,

John 8:52
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man KEEP MY SAYING, he SHALL NEVER TASTE OF DEATH.

The longer you walk in the TRUTH, the longer you will LIVE and you shall NEVER TASTE DEATH. You shall NEVER be IGNORANT!

Romans 6:9
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him

When the TRUTH is RISEN in you. You no longer are DEAD in your trespasses, you are no longer ignorant. You are ALIVE!

You see “church”, you are the DEAD (plural) that Christ (Truth and Spirit of God) rises from. And when the DAYSTAR rises in your heart, DEATH (whose power is sin) has no more rule over you.

1 Corinthians 15:56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

If we are talking about literal Death here, how can we sin? Hhhmmmn?

Look, Sin is the FOOLISH THOUGHT, it is believing a LIE when the Truth has yet to be revealed. This is why when CHRIST RISES, you can no longer SIN (die/be ignorant and carnal) because you are walking in newness of LIFE.

So the day these disciples TASTED DEATH was the day the KINGDOM (REIGN) OF GOD came (rose/was revealed in them). It is when the SON (The truth of God) was risen IN THEM…. Once this happens, you taste DEATH (the lies) because you now understand the truth.

1 John 1:2
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

Once the LIFE is manifested and we understand, we can die no more! (we can be ignorant no more)

And what is ETERNAL LIFE you ask? Well it isn’t walking around in a Temporal Body forever… it is…

John 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

So Church remember… the wages of SIN (error, foolish thinking) is DEATH (carnal ignorance) but the Gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE (Wisdom and Understanding) through Christ WITHIN!

So the next time, you hear it taught that Jesus made some disciples walk around for thousands of years in the Flesh, tell them, ZIP IT YOU!

DEMONIAC WAS OR IS YOU!

April 12, 2010November 4, 2010Jacob Israel9 Comments

THE DEMONIAC WAS, OR IS, YOU

I know, I know, what sort of title is that? The Demonic Was You? Who does Jacob think he is 🙂 In any event, it is true. You either were the DEMONIAC or you ARE the DEMONIAC. Like every story in scripture, it is an allegory ABOUT YOU!

So today I take on LEGION (OH NOOOOOO! Screams the fearful peanut gallery)… Well I am sure many of you have heard the story of the demoniac, named Legion. “I am Legion for I am many” <-insert scary voice.

Many movies have been made about this so called possesed man. Many STORIES have been told about this possessed man. So what and who is this "demoniac".

Mark 5
1And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

First let me point out, about the COUNTRY Jesus came into, a great allegory of OUR JOURNEY. “Gadarenes” in Greek translates into “Reward at the End”. Notice when he enters this “country” IMMEDIATELY he is met by someone COMING OUT OF THE TOMBS. (Jesus dealt with many people coming out of tombs, his flesh body placed in a tomb, and many people he actually called “white washes tombs”.)

Psalm 5:9
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open TOMB; they flatter with their tongue.

He also compared many of the Religious to White washed tombs, looking all clean on the outside but on the inside filled with dead men’s bones… Indeed, many of us have come out of the TOMB of RELIGIOUS IGNORANCE. We walk in those doors and soon we are told we are DEAD in our Trespasses, and that we are SINNERS hellbound, unless we do exactly what they say… And that is of course, to LIVE by the LAW, which was written on STONES. And we end up “cutting” ourselves with these stones. We begin to hate ourselves, we think we are no good, we learn to condemn ourselves for every little thing we don’t do right. We become SPIRITUAL DEAD and wait patiently for someone to rescue us. Because of course, we are told that salvation is “COMING SOON” instead of RIGHT NOW.

But WE WILL learn much about how to be saved, and healed, by the story of the DEMONIAC, which could in fact be a wonderful allegory of everyone of us… Notice what had to FIRST HAPPEN before the Demoniac was HEALED… “He” had to COME OUT OF THE TOMB TO MEET CHRIST… We need to do the same. We need to FIRST COME OUT OF THE TOMB (religious ignorance/vain tradition/man made teachings) and MEET CHRIST/TRUTH.

Today I will focus on the account written in the Book of Luke. And hopefully by the end of this article it will open our eyes to a greater understand of what this story is about. And we will let go of all the spooky things we have believed about it.

Once again, we are about to learn how the story presented in scripture is an ALLEGORY, a PARABLE, a STORY with a Moral to learn. It is, as Jesus says, a MYSTERY. And mysteries are meant to be solved, the truth needs to be revealed. And this story, regardless of how many of you will disagree, is about HUMANITY as a whole. But for the sake of this paper, I am going to write about YOU! That’s right, you either are, or have been, this DEMONIAC. So put down the holy water Father Tom, and stop clinging to that Gold Cross Eunice, because silly superstition has no place at the LADDER. We deal WITH TRUTH here. Well, at least I pray that is what is presented below.

And like always say, I am not the authority on the things of God, God is. So go within, seek God to see if these things be true. Because I could be wrong. I DOUBT IT! But I don’t want anyone to just say, “Hey this makes sense… I want it to resonate in your spirit, and then have each of you ask God, IS THIS TRUE?”

Okay now that I got my disclaimer out of the way, let’s move on shall we?

Now for those of you that are going to say, there was a literal possessed naked man, who broke literal chains, and lived in a literal tomb, and cut himself with literal stones… I say, GET OVER IT ALREADY! These are all SYMBOLS!

Now, granted there may have been some nut running around nude in a tomb, but if that be the case it was only, so the MORAL, and TRUTH, of this STORY can be revealed IN US, TO US, FOR US.

But hey, believe what you want to believe and I am not going to argue over whether or not this story HAPPENED (past tense). Because we are NOT meant to focus on the PAST, unless it is to reveal a PRESENT TRUTH. So don’t look behind you! Look at what is before you.

So choose this day what you will serve, things that literally happened and no longer exist. Which profits you nothing. Or put aside the debate over whether or not things literally happened, and ask God to reveal what these stories mean IN PRESENT TRUTH. This is how we MOVE ON to the HIGH CALLING OF CHRIST.

Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, FORGETTING those things which are BEHIND, and reaching forth unto those things which are before

Like our mistakes, our glories, we need never look behind. Once we start dealing in what no longer exists (as opposed to seeing in the LIGHT (truth) what it means) we are like Lot’s wife.

Luke 9:62
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and LOOKING BACK, is fit for the kingdom of God.

It’s time for us to stop with all the vain traditions and beliefs. We need to stop re-creating and re-living what may or may not have literally happened, and move unto perfect understanding.

This essay will show you why we all need to allow the Spirit WITHIN us, to reveal what these “stories” mean, not to recite and re-live these “stories” as if they are literal.

When you are through reading this article, I believe you will SEE (perceive) who and what this Demoniac really is… CARNAL MANKIND!

Don’t believe me, read on as I break this “story” down line by line.

LUKE 8: 26 -And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

The “they” in this story are THOSE in the VESSEL with CHRIST. IS A PICTURE OF US, the BODY OF CHRIST!

But I continue on, Christ had just calmed the WINDS (false doctrines) after being WAKENED out of his SLEEP. This is a picture of THE TRUTH being AWAKENED inside of us and calming all of the fears manmade religion and worldly thinking has placed inside us.

Ephesians 4:14
That we henceforth be no more children (Immature on the faith), tossed to and fro, and carried about with every WIND OF DOCTRINE, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.

Here it is easy to see, the WIND is compared to the deciet of CARNAL MAN… This is the GREAT STORM, the disciples (US) need to be SAVED FROM. This storm of LIES, can only come to an end when the CHRIST (TRUTH) within us, is ROUSED FROM SLEEP. (Ressurected from the death of our CARNALITY)

Romans 13:11
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

The instant the TRUTH (CHRIST) is risen in our hearts, we are saved from the MANY LIES religion throws our way. We also learn that we had so little faith.

After this happens, we arrive at a new place, AS we see recorded in this Gospel. The disciples came to The GADARENES, which as I wrote earlier, in the GREEK translates into Gadarenes = “Reward at the END”

Let me translate some other words from STRONGS, for you as well.

LUKE 8: 26 -And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against (On the opposite side) Galilee. (Circuit/Unbroken cycle)

Now, let me place US where the word THEY is, with all the translations in place. And a great mystery unfolds.

And “WE” arrived at a place in (our) lives where (we) understand the REWARD COMES AT THE END of (our) journey. Which is in direct opposition to where we once were (going round and round and round with no hope of finding an end to the hellish storms we face in life/death=our ignorance)

You men of “Galillee” – You people wondering in circles will never find the promise land, until you stop doing what you have always done.

27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

Yes, like every story in scripture, it is a story about us. We are the VESSEL Christ was asleep in, we are those that WOKE CHRIST UP from within. This is a picture of OUR BEGINNING to understand the TRUTH of who we are, who God is, A GOD NOT TO BE FEARED BUT A GOD WHO LOVES, HEALS, AND FORGIVES.

We begin to understand that all the nonsense religious teachings that told us we were on a one way trip to eternal torture we no longer need fear. We learn the REWARD is found at the END of our journey, and we now find a purpose, no longer trapped in a meaningless cycle/circuit/Galillee.

And when the TRUTH (Holy Spirit/Christ) goes forth, which means (arises) we find ourselves face to face with a “certain Man” – We come face to face with ourself. (The Carnal Man IN us.) The one that had DEVILS a long time… Now a DEVIL is not some spooky monster, see my article on this. A DEVIL is merely a FALSE BELIEF, LIES… The Devil is the FATHER OF ALL LIES, devils WOULD be LIES than wouldn’t they?

We see our NAKEDNESS, as this Demoniac was naked. This is a symbol of living in SHAME. ADAM saw his nakedness and began to FEAR GOD… The Demoniac had the same problem. “Legion” who is MANY. TOO MANY of us, hate ourselves, are ashamed of who we are, and see God as a hateful monster waiting to torture us for all eternity.

But when we EXIT THE TOMB we face CHRIST for the first time. We like the demoniac believe WE WILL BE TORMENTED by Christ. Or Condemned by the Great LIFE AND TRUTH of God, but Christ didn’t come to condemn but to save.

28When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

When WE can only see all of our faults, which RELIGION’S FALSE BELIEFS (TOMBS) brainwashed us to FOCUS ON, and not on the TRUTH OF WHO WE ARE WITHIN… When we see the TRUTH, we believe we are so UNWORTHY OF GOD, this is why the DEMONIAC fell down, and screamed, “WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO WITH YOU?” –The STONES of RELIGION we have been CUT WITH, teach us, WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH CHRIST… They teach that Christ will RETURN (as opposed to being revealed in us) and that CHRIST will KILL AND DESTROY anyone who doesn’t do what those white washed tombs tell you, you have to do. “What have “I” to do with the SON OF THE MOST HIGH?”

At this point in our walk, we are still so IMMATURE in our faith. We can’t possibly grasp who we ARE in CHRIST. We think that we have NOTHING at all to do with CHRIST. Thanks to our RELIGIOUS LEADERS and the WORLD.

Galatians 3-4
“As a child we differ nothing from a slave, THOUGH WE BE LORD OF ALL”

We were taught that Christ condemns, yet NOW we learn that CHRIST did not come to do that. Christ ARISES to SAVE US from our ignorance. That is exactly what Christ does for the DEMONIAC (us in our ignorance). Christ doesn’t TORMENT him as “He/HUMANITY” thinks… NO! He heals!

29(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

Our false beliefs had to be driven out. These lies we believed kept us in CHAINS. And when the TRUTH of God RISES in your heart/mind, these lies are driven out indeed. We are tested in the wilderness of this world until every lie is gone. This is a process. You don’t get your Masters Degree from the Master in one simple lesson/revelation. Like the layers of the onion, each stinking lie needs to be peeled away until you get to the sweet core of your being, (I be n God), which is CHRIST.

30And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

The TRUTH within, (WHICH IS CHRIST), get’s US to truly question, WHO WE ARE? 30And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name?

And in our ignorance, HUMANITY thinks we are MANY SEPERATE BEINGS, as opposed to being ONE PART, ONE BODY, ONE CHRIST. We believed we were seperate from others, because of the MANY LIES (devils) we believed.

In Mark’s account, he says “Legion, for we are many” – these are the MANY demons/lies that afflict us. Look at what the MANY really are… Enemies, Lies, strongholds, Laws, imaginations, etc. DON’T BELIEVE ME, CHECK OUT THE MANY VERSES BELOW ON THE “MANY”.

Psalm 25:19
Consider mine enemies; for they are MANY; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

Proverbs 19:21
There are MANY devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Psalm 55:18
He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were MANY with me.

Psalm 34:19
MANY are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

This is the battle in HEAVEN (within us/kingdom of Heaven is within) taking place. The ENEMIES (lies about God and You) “enemies of God”, have nothing to do with LITERAL MEN AND WOMEN, but the enemy of God, is ANY THOUGHT that exhalts itself ABOVE the truth. These are the MANY LIES, we believed. The MANY thoughts/beliefs we have that keep us BOUND, that make our dwelling place (temple) a tomb (death/ignorance). This is why Christ saves us, from thie ENEMIES/DEMONS/LIES/IMAGINATIONS…

2 Corinthians 10:5
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

Yes, God delivers us all out of our afflictions, which are but for a moment. The question is when the LIES are cast out, where do they go?

31And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the DEEP.

What is this “deep” that these LIES should NOT go?

Psalm 92:5
O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very DEEP.

These ARE the works/TRUTHS of the LORD, and his wonders in THE DEEP. When the LIGHT of Christ rises in our heart, we pray to no longer have these LIES in our HEART (Christ’s thoughts are not mans). We want to know the TRUTH no matter what the cost. We don’t want these lies in our thoughts. We pray, “Lord please don’t let me believe lies anymore, please don’t let them take residence in my heart.”

These “devils” are not intelligent beings that are literally having a conversation with Jesus here. It is a picture of how there is no longer a place for these lies IN US. The question then becomes, WHERE ARE THESE LIES (devils) welcome?

32And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

Ah, a herd of swine. Now for those who think these are literal PIGS, you have another thing coming. SWINE are filthy animals that eat anything, even their own feces, as well as living in their own filth. SWINE are an allegory for the CARNAL MAN AND WOMAN of the world.

Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before SWINE, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Proverbs 11:22
As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.

SWINE are the lost ignorant masses that have no understanding, discretion, wisdom. They will eat whatever slop (DOCTRINES) is thrown in front of them. They do not discern between what is right/true and wrong/lies.

33Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and were choked.

When the TRUTH rises in our heart, we are set free from all the lies that kept us in the bonds of shame (pictured as nakedness, earlier). We begin to see the LIES in those around us, the many religious lost.

The LIES that once possessed us (we believed) we now see in so many others. And we realize they will DIE (continue in their ignorance) the longer they are possessed (believe) by them.

In this account we see them, RUNNING VIOLENTLY toward the SEA… And what is the SEA again people? (The unrepentant, ignorant thinking of carnality, death and hell)

Revelation 20:13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

There is no LIFE in the SEA. This is why JESUS walked ABOVE it, he NEVER fell in like Peter did (That dirty SINNER lol). Jesus FISHED men out of the SEA, as shall we. WE MUST FISH MEN OUT OF THE IGNORANCE OF THE WORLD AND RELIGION. “I will make you fishers of mankind”

So of course, once the SWINE believe these lies, they would run for the SEA. IT IS WHERE THE DEAD DWELL (where the ignorant exist).

The good news is ONE DAY, there will be no more SEA.

Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Like the Demoniac in this “story” when we no longer look above for Heaven or below our Feet for the Earth (Physical 1st heaven and earth) a NEW HEAVEN and NEW EARTH opens up to us, a NEW UNDERSTANDING AND TRUTH WITHIN. When this happens, there will be no ignorance, there will be no place for DEATH.

But back to the rest of the story.

34When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

This happens to many of us today, as well. Once we are delivered from the bondage of religious and worldly chains, once we RETURN TO OUR RIGHT MIND (The Mind of Christ). We flee from Babylon and all of its beliefs. And when the Religious leaders of the world SEE that we have been released from the bondage of their lies, they DEPART from us. They want nothing to do with us.

Try telling any legalistic Priest, Pastor, Evangelist, Rabbi, Iman, etc that that God will deliver everyone, and has a plan and purpose for everyone, and will make “EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN IT’S TIME”. You will see how quickly he departs from you, or asks you to depart. And so is the same for us, the FORMER Demoniac.

We were once blind, lost, dead in our ignorance. Then Christ rose, the Truth inside of us, cast out the lies. We saw others in the world who SWALLOWED these very same lies whole. And when those that FEED THEM (Shephard/Pastor them), when the swines RELIGIOUS LEADERS see we are in our RIGHT MIND… they get scared.

And why wouldn’t they? The Day of the Lord is a scary day! When the TRUTH comes, it shows you everything you once believed is a lie. Many don’t want to give up their man made churches and temples, many don’t want to give up their vain traditions and beliefs. They would rather remain with the pigs then with the Truth.

35Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 36They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

And the same will happen to you. If you understand the words of this paper, than you have been delivered as the Demoniac.

The Christ In You will begin to shine bright. But you MUST remember, many, many, many are NOT where you now are. That doesn’t make you better, it just means you are where you are and they are where they are. We are not to make judgments against the unbelievers, we are to love them and understand that they are limited for the moment in their understanding.

So if you are kicked out of your churches or temples or mosques for your new understanding. Leave without a fight. Don’t get upset, don’t be hurt, PRAISE GOD FOR IT!

2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

You have been set FREE from the YOLK of religious LIES (DEVILS). Don’t allow yourself to be entangled in it again. The Truth In You has no place with the Lies of Religious Man. So leave when asked, as Christ left.

37Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear

Now here is the good news, THE FEAR OF THE LORD is the BEGINNING of WISDOM. Remember the SOWER scattered the SEED everywhere. Even in places most would think the SEED would NEVER grow.

Even though your one time brothers and sisters in Church, may reject you. The TRUTH has still been planted in their hearts by your witness. And God’s word does not return void.

So rejoice if you are rejected or persecuted for being delivered from the many lies that kept you bound and existing in death (ignorance)…

The TRUTH WITHIN you is a GREAT LIGHT that will draw all mankind, once it is LIFTED UP WITHIN YOU.

John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
And isn’t that exactly what happened in this “story”?

Once you raise the TRUTH (CHRIST) up from your SOULISH NATURE, ALL will be drawn.

38Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

For the moment, it may seem that your new found understanding is falling upon deaf ears. For the moment, you may be attacked by others, torn down, mocked, but soon what Christ has done will be PUBLISHED (remembered) throughout the whole CITY and those that, for the moment, act as your enemy will soon return to greet you as a friend.

Peace to you all,
Jacob

DEMONIAC WAS OR IS YOUdemoniac, swine, THE SEA, UNREPENTANT THINKING

TWELVE DISCIPLES REVEALED IN YOU

April 5, 2010December 10, 2012Jacob Israel13 Comments

TWELVES DISCIPLES REVEALED IN YOU

If you have been to this site before you know I write a good deal about the allegory of scripture. If you want to know the truth about God and who you are in relation to God than you MUST look past the literal and swim in the waters of the spiritual. Remember the Kingdom of God is a mystery and to find the truth one must seek that truth until the mystery is no more. The scriptures tell us that the Letter (literal) kills and that only the spirit (of the story) gives life. Like the stories told to us when we were younger the historical parts of the story are not what is important it is the SPIRIT of the story, or the MORAL of the story that matters. The truth has never been about the history but about uncovering the mystery. For example in the story of the boy who cried wolf we learn from it we should never lie. It doesn’t matter if there was a boy or a wolf, what matters is the MORAL, the LESSON for us all.

I see scripture the same way. Whether many things literally happened is not what concerns me, as we are NOT to concern ourselves with physical things, but spiritual. I concern myself with what these things MEAN. For example, What is the Red Sea (spiritually) why did God part it under Moses’s hand? – What does the flood, the arc, and Noah represent? – Does it really matter if there was a literal arc, flood, etc? In the grand scheme of things, the answer unequivocally is “NO!”. What matters is what God is trying to tell us through these stories, whether they be literal or not, I do not even bother to debate, for I know that All things are possible with God. So if you are going to be turned off by someone saying, “There was no literal Garden of Eden”, no worries. I won’t say that, as I wouldn’t say their weren’t TWELVE tribes if Israel, TWELVE disciples, etc… I am sure there were, the question is… WHY TWELVE?

We see this number again and again and again in scripture. Twelve Tribes, Twelve Pillars, Twelve stones, Twelve Disciples. The number TWELVE is not an accident. Numbers play an important role in scripture, and understanding the hidden meaning of these passages. For example, whenever you see 40 days, 40 years, etc… understand this is symbolic of a Gestation period, Birth. Even the number 3 (Trimester) – These numbers point to the period of time, spent in the Death of our Carnal mind, before being BIRTHED from ABOVE (Born Again).

Today, this paper is a short one. I just want to point out how amazing, the scriptures are and how NOTHING in scripture is random and meaningless. So let’s start with the DISCIPLES… First, let me tell you what the word MEANS.

DISCIPLES: In Greek, the word translates as LEARNER, PUPIL. But when you go to the word origin it reveals even more… “To increase ones knowledge, to be increased in knowledge, to hear, to be informed, to learn by USE and HABIT and PRACTICE”

So we see the Disciples of Jesus are a symbol of sorts. A symbol of OUR LEARNING. A Disciple MUST FOLLOW and is NOT ABOVE the MASTER.

The question is what are we a disciple of? The Law and Works (John the Baptist, less than the least in the Kingdom) or LIFE and REST (Christ)

Luke 5:33
And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

This is why the disciples of JOHN fast often, and make Prayers, because they have not entered in to a RELATIONSHIP where God is in control of all things, they are FASTING because they are not EATING (assimilating) the TRUTH (Christ) … Disciples of Religion will fast and pray and never be filled, But disciples of CHRIST (THE TRUTH WITHIN) EAT AND DRINK (are fed by the SPIRIT ALWAYS)

And yes, literal FASTING is a SYMBOL as well. And those that still LITERALLY FAST are yet DISCIPLES OF JOHN the BAPTIST (The law)

So we see here, when we follow the TRUTH (Christ), hear the TRUTH, understand the TRUTH, and increase in the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH, we are disciples of Christ indeed. To do this we must, submit ourselves FULLY.

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

That’s right if you want to follow after the TRUTH, you must give up everything that ISN’T THE TRUTH, meaning “who you think you are”. your egotistical carnal nature has to hit the bricks. You must DIE to everything you once thought you were, and RISE after the CHRIST WITHIN. Which is your TRUE LIFE.

You must understand you are more than Human, you are God’s child. And the only way to do this is to fully submit yourself to GOD’S WILL.

John 8:28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

And once you LIFT UP — once this TRUTH is RISEN in your heart, you SHALL KNOW that You can DO NOTHING OF YOURSELF.

Jesus understood this VERY WELL. He understood, that HE (Jesus the MAN) was NOT in control. He understood he could DO NOTHING of himself, but as GOD taught him. He prayed, as we Pray “Not my will Father, but yours.”

Okay, so I hope your getting the idea. To be a disciple you must FULLY GIVE YOURSELF OVER TO GOD… Your entirety, your thoughts, sight, sounds, movement…. Everything.

Which brings us to the CRUX of this essay. WHY THE NUMBER TWELVE?

Well to give yourself over to God completely, you must give your BRAIN over to God completely… Well to be honest, it is more of an understanding that God reveals to you. As we don’t do the work, God does. This is why there is hope for all, even the most lost.

When the time is right, the Lights go on, and you become a SON/DAUGHTER. To enter however, you will suffer. “Through much tribulation enter we the Kingdom of God.”

So much for the whole, come to Jesus and life is awesome mentality. To come to the TRUTH, it is a scary, scary day… A day of Earthquakes, and great tribulation… But remember, we are but a shadow of things to come, the Literal Earthquakes are merely representations of the great earthquakes taking place within the chosen “Church = Called out” remnant. Those that are in this day, being prepared to completely submit to God’s truth. And yes, this takes place literally as well as spiritually as you will soon see.

So since, the Brain is where all of our thoughts, and BE-ING comes from… Let’s talk about the BRAIN, it’s workings and the NUMBER TWELVE.

You see there is a great scientific explanation for the NUMBER TWELVE. And it has to do with out BRAIN!

Did you know there are TWELVE SETS of CRANIAL NERVES? These nerves control EVERYTHING about us. Below is each set, and what their major function is.

CRANIAL NERVE: Major Functions:

I Olfactory smell

II Optic vision

III Oculomotor eyelid and eyeball movement

IV Trochlear innervates superior oblique turns eye downward and laterally

V Trigeminal chewing, face & mouth touch & pain

VI Abducens turns eye laterally

VII Facial controls most facial expressions, secretion of tears & saliva taste

VIII Vestibulocochlear(auditory) hearing, equillibrium, sensation

IX Glossopharyngeal taste, senses, carotid blood pressure

X Vagus senses, aortic blood pressure, slows heart rate, stimulates digestive organs taste

XI Spinal Accessory controls trapezius & sternocleidomastoid
controls swallowing movements

XII Hypoglossal controls tongue movements

Now look, I am not important person, with great knowledge of these things, so forgive me if I cannot completly dissect the inner working of the Brain for you… but the jist is, without these TWELVE SETS of CRANIAL NERVES we wouldn’t FUNCTION or LIVE. They are our “EVERYTHING” that must be turned over to God.

No I know there is no such thing as coincidence. But take a moment and REALLY think about how amazing this is. Everything in scriptures points to us taking on the MIND OF CHRIST.

Christ (the TRUTH) is killed at Golgatha (Place of the SKULL) = We become ignorant of the TRUTH in our THINKING.

Everything in scripture has to do with THOUGHTS. And where do we process our THOUGHTS? In the Brain. And this is why our EVERY THOUGHT and ACTION must be in CHRIST. (TRUTH, LOVE, PEACE, JOY, = GOD’S SPIRIT)

2 Corinthians 10:5
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;

To be a disciple we must do this indeed. We are taught to take each thought captive. We MUST consider every thought we have and see whether or not it is rooted in love, peace, hope, and faith. We must test the spirits (thoughts) to see if they be Christ… And how does one do this?

1 John 4:2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

That is a NOW thought. Any thought that does not understand that CHRIST IS, IS, IS, COME (revealed) in the Flesh is of God. Christ IS revealed in our FLESH. Anyone who does not understand the HOPE OF GLORY, (CHRIST IN YOU) is not of God. There is a great peace that comes with understanding the truth of who you are, and that God is in control of it ALL. (12 sets of cranial nerves)

So, if our thoughts cause us worry, division, strife, etc… they are NOT thoughts of Christ, but thoughts of the WORLD (Our Vain Imaginations)

Matthew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

We must completely submit ourselves to GOD, and KNOW that God is IN CONTROL. And to do this, every one of these CRANIAL NERVES must bow down and SUBMIT themselves to the TRUTH WITHIN.

Let’s tell you what the CRANIAL NERVES do.

Cranial nerves are nerves that emerge directly from the brain, in contrast to spinal nerves which emerge from segments of the spinal cord. In humans, there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves. These 12 PAIRS -are the reason, we see, hear, taste, touch, smell, swallow, move, breath, etc… In other words, THE ENTIRETY of our EXISTENCE (12 pairs of CRANIAL nerves) – These 12 disciples are what MUST follow CHRIST (which is our life).

The 12 cranial nerves are the MACHINE. CHRIST is the “holy ghost” in the MACHINE.

So, you see it is no coincidence that there are TWELVE DISCIPLES, TRIBES, PILLARS, STONES, ETC… The NUMBER TWELVE points to these Cranial nerves. Which controls every function, thought, etc, that we have and experience. This is what the message is. That God is ALL IN ALL and one day we will know GOD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN US, steering us through this valley of the shadow of death.

1 Corinthians 15:28
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

And just as each Cranial nerve plays a different part to our existence in this physical realm, so each member of the Body of Christ plays an important role, but not all do the same thing and have the same function.

1 Corinthians 12:6
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

Yes, we all have different parts to play, but GOD works it all together for OUR GOOD. (Romans 8:28)… For a moment the great truth of GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY is missed by 99.999 percent of all of us in the world, but soon, all will come to the understanding that we indeed do Reap what we Sow, and everything in our lives, (Good, Bad, Beautiful, and Ugly) is playing it’s part to humble us. Our experiences are meant to bring us to the GREAT TRUTH within us all. And the GOSPEL (good news) is EVERYONE will come to the fullness (understanding of the Truth).

Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

However, the timing is not ours, but God’s.

“God makes EVERYTHING beautiful in ITS TIME.”

I wanted to simply share this wonderful “IN-SIGHT/understanding” with all of you. The amazing thing is, I am pretty sure years ago I read about this, and knew this, it is almost like I had to be reminded of how amazing the allegory of these scriptures are. And wonderful it is that science fact and biblical passages work perfectly together. When you have EYES to see and EARS to hear.

Now what is even more interesting about these TWELVE pairs of CRANIAL NERVES is that they are PAIRS (TWO BY TWO). There are in fact, 24 NERVES in total. 24 NERVES that control everything. Now watch this!

Remember how JESUS sent out his DISCIPLES… (those that FOLLOW CHRIST) – two by two (in pairs)

In Revelation how many KINGS surround the THRONE of GOD? 24

Revelation 4:4
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Where is the THRONE of GOD? = Our MIND

Revelation 4:10
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever

Revelation 19:4
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

24 Kings (Authority/Rule) 12 Disciples, 12 CRANIAL NERVES = 24 KINGS.

The TWELVE DISCIPLES – are pictures of OUR ENTIRE THOUGHT process. Our ENTIRE body, soul, and mind needs to follow the TRUTH WITHIN. And in the REVELATION of Jesus Christ to John, we SEE, these Nerves represented as KINGS bowing down and subjecting themselves to GOD. (How cool is that?) What does a KING do? It RULES… What do these 24 nerves, 12 pairs do? They RULE… But who are they SUBJECT TO? —– GOD and CHRIST.

The question is, do we continue to SEEK GOD? Do we search the scriptures, praying each and every day, “Lord teach me the Truth no matter what the cost!”

Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Do we submit that God is COMPLETELY in CONTROL? Or do we believe we are?

Romans 7:23
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Do we have a UNITY of spirit, no longer ruled by the Carnal Mind (which is DEATH/IGNORANCE) – Do we have ONE MIND that Glorfies (makes known the mysteries of God) God.

Romans 15:6
That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Do we trust, that even our enemies are working GOOD in us? Do we believe that every circumstance is of God, for God, and To God? That it will all work together for GOD’S GOOD in US = Our Good.

Galatians 5:10
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

Have we come out of our ignorance, into this Glorious Liberty?

Colossians 1:21
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he RECONSILED!

You see, it is all about the MIND, the THOUGHT, and these 24 Kings/ 12 Disciples will eventually follow completely, every one will be of ONE MIND! That mind of course is CHRIST. For there is only one way to the Father and that is through the SON… Which means, you will NOT know God, until you know you are God’s Child, and you know it!

ROAD TO EMMAUS

March 26, 2010March 7, 2011Jacob Israel15 Comments

THE ROAD TO EMMAUS

Yesterday while driving, as my custom is, I turned on Christian Radio to listen to the preachers there. Now, I do not do this to hear their interpretation, but over the years I’ve learned God can reveal things to you through even the most lost and confused in the world. God spoke through an Ass, He spoke through a Bush, God can speak, and does speak often if only we have ears to hear.

Mainly I listen to Christian radio because now and then a Pastor or Priest will quote scripture. Often times when a scripture is heard, a LIGHT (Christ) goes off inside me and shows me just what that scripture means. It finally makes sense, like I remembered what I had long forgotten. And that is exactly what happened to me yesterday.

It has to do with the ROAD TO EMMAUS, and I am going to share that with you(God Willing and Leading hopefully) to help open the eyes of those who also are on their way to the VILLAGE of EMMAUS…

In the Greek, the word “VILLAGE” translates (to the common SLEEPING place to which laborers in the field return) – Why is this important you ask? Well, because their “Savior” had been crucified before them, they knew Jesus after the Flesh and were waiting for him to Return (AFTER THE FLESH). And after three long days, the TWO on this road found NOTHING… So they were GIVING UP… They were going to a place of SLEEP (becoming unconscious of the Truth/ignorant)

Now people this is exactly where most are today. Walking down that road to EMMAUS which translates to “AN UNCERTAIN PLACE” … Most don’t know where they are going, they have lost hope and simply want to go to sleep and forget it all… “WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING” they ask?

So many Christians are waiting for Jesus to return to make everything right. So many Christians are waiting to be Raptured and whisked away so they can finally be free. SO MANY CHRISTIANS are lost, they are like the son in my below poem.

The Son waits outside for his Father to return. He looks for Him high and low. He says he will come soon, this he knows. However, the Son is scared and alone. He thinks his Father will come from the east or west. In the sky on a plane, riding a white horse is the belief he likes the best. Nevertheless, the longer he waits, the longer he is sad, lost and alone. If only the Son knew his Father never left and was waiting for him within, If only the Son knew that he was never alone to begin. Then the Son would enter happily in and would know fear, pain, and suffering never again.

It breaks my heart when people write me and ask me “Are you saved?”. It tears me up when they claim Christ and I see how they behave.

So I continue to seek and I continue to pray God will allow me to find. As I always say in my papers, I never claim to have answers, I can never say for sure if these words be true that I write, God knows. The reason I give this disclaimer is because the charge is YOURS. God’s ways are above Man’s, and we should NEVER take the word of a man. So whatever I write here, know that I am simply a man who desires with all my heart to know the things of God, and whether these things be true or not, that is for the Lord of Hosts (we are the Host) to decide and reveal to you. (Of course in my heart, I believe them to be absolutely true… but this is what you MUST find for yourself, or it will FIND YOU 🙂 )

Good now that I have my weekly disclaimer out-of-the-way we can begin.

As I was saying, I see many today, as those TWO (double minded) men walking on the Road to Emmaus… They are headed toward a place where they can SLEEP not a place where they can WAKE. And they don’t know where they are going. But then something happens. Out of nowhere, a Messenger appears, and everything changes for these poor, sad, hopeless fools (the fool in his heart says there is no God)

However, before I begin this essay I want to touch on something that lately I can’t seem to get away from. It has to do with the way things are today. The way they are in religions around the world, those with, or without faith, those who have not “tasted of that heavenly fruit”, those who are yet still in their SIN (Foolish thinking/ignorance)

About two weeks ago, I kept opening the scriptures to Daniel the second chapter.

DANIEL 2

1And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

Let me first point out what the name “Nebuchadnezzar” means, as it will open your eyes to the great parable this story has hidden.

“Nebuchadnezzar” means “may Nebu protect” – Now Nebu is the god of Man’s Lofty Prideful Intelligence, Nebu was a god worshipped back in the day. So truly, the KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR means “Man is RULED by The wisdom of Men, the prideful lofty intelligence, that they believe will PROTECT THEM” = May Nebu Protect.

News flash “Church” good old Nebuchadnezzar has been ruling a long time, but all of that is about to change.

So he has this troubling dream, and no sorcerer, magician, prophet, etc… can tell him this dream and it’s interpretation, so he KILLS THEM ALL!

2Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. … 5The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

You see, there will come a TIME in EVERY MAN’S life when the Vision of God will visit them. And their MAN MADE WISDOM will fail them, they won’t understand what God is saying to them. So like King Neb. they will turn to those they once put their faith in. But in those place, the sorcerers, magicians, preachers, priests, friends, imams, etc, they won’t find answers… FOR THERE IS NO TRUTH IN BABYLON PEOPLE!

So like King Neb. these people will do what he did symbolically. They will understand these Religious teaching NEED TO BE DESTROYED and are FIT FOR THE DUNG HILL (That’s a big old pile of poop everyone!)

Then comes along Daniel, little Daniel.

26The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

May I point out HOW AWESOME Daniel’s real name is, in HEBREW… Belteshazzar means “Lord of the straitened’s treasure” –

Daniel, was one who could MAKE STRAIGHT where only the CROOKED has been. Daniel came to inform King Neb. that God was about to make everything right again!

Now this is what struck me so. I finally understood the vision of King Neb. Daniel says, this statue he saw represents five different kingdoms that will rise and fall.

Now don’t go listening to those who say these are literal kingdom, like the US, CHINA, RUSSIA etc… God doesn’t deal in literal, as Daniel said…

22He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

These are SPIRITUAL KINGDOMS, strongholds, Principalities, that we wrestle against. And it was the last Kingdom in particular that drew my interest and sent shivers up my neck.

Take a look at King Neb.’s dream.

32This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 33His legs of iron, his FEET PART IRON and CLAY. 34Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his FEET that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

Daniel, goes unto say, that each represents a Kingdom. Now I am not going to interpret each and every Kingdom for you, but it is the LAST KINGDOM that you need to pay attention to. Because this LAST KINGDOM IS ABOUT TO FALL RIGHT AROUND YOU!

FEET are so SYMBOLIC HERE. Notice what FEET are called in scripture.

Romans 10:15
… as it is written, How beautiful are the FEET of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Ephesians 6:15
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
The FEET is the WITNESS of God.

This is why JESUS (truth revealed in man) WASHED their FEET. (Their witness and understanding of Truth was dirty, corrupt)

We even see scriptures that speak of those whose FEET are quick to do evil. Which represents most Religious leaders today.

THIS IS THE KINGDOM MIXED WITH IRON AND CLAY!

41And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

THE FEET, King Neb. saw in his dream was DIVIDED. Partly strong, partly brittle. Iron and Clay.

What does IRON represent you ask?

Psalm 107:10
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

Ignorant CORRECTION/PUNISHMENT…

And what does CLAY represent?

Psalm 40:2
He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry CLAY, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

CLAY is the very ignorance of HELL that is being preached today as truth. Iron is the very cruel ignorant punishment and judgment that is being used to bind and break the spirits of those who NEED GOD MORE THAN EVER.

THIS IS THE FIFTH and FINAL KINGDOM in this world. RELIGION.

The FEET = Those that bring a perverse message of lies and condemnation is the last Kingdom. And then I say GOD DESTROYING IT as Daniel did.

44And in the days of these kings shall the GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM, WHICH SHALL NEVER BE DESTROYED: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

This is the TRUE MESSAGE that you MAY BE HEARING today. Our God of LOVE is tearing the MOTHER of ALL HARLOTS down. This is why we are told to FLEE from Babylon, because what is about to happen to the RELIGIONS of the world is COMING TO A CHURCH/ TEMPLE/ MOSQUE/ KINGDOM HALL/ MEETING HOUSE near you!

45Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

THE STONE is the TRUTH (CHRIST) which is WITHIN US ALL!

A remnant are standing up now, declaring this truth. THIS IS THE ARMY JOEL SPOKE OF. This is what my Novel, THE CALLING is all about. I just never knew, I would see the day when it all came down.

You see this TRUTH is not made with man’s hands, no, it is cut from the MOUNTAIN called GOD. And if you have faith, the size of a mustard seed, you shall say to this GREAT MOUNTAIN OF LOVE AND TRUTH be thou cast into the SEA (Humanities ignorance) and IT SHALL BE. — As I pray I am doing now.

This LAST KINGDOM, is about to fall. It’s true colors are being shown wide and far. Their god is money, their worship is their belly (carnality). They are not setting people free, no, they are making them TWICE THE CHILDREN OF HELL the RELIGIOUS LEADERS of the day are already.

The TRUTH is going out “Church”. The Time is now, it will be SHOUTED FROM THE ROOFTOPS!

“The Kingdom (reign) of Heaven (God’s ways/truth) is come (revealed)”

God has made known to KING NEB. (Carnal Man) what shall come to pass… THIS DREAM IS CERTAIN and the interpretation you all have just read is SURE!

And it is time for people to get in line, take a healthy serving of the love, truth and spirit being poured out today!

You see, while everyone is up in arms over whether or not we have universal healthcare, gay marriage, Christ in Christmas, God’s name on the coin at the Post office or said in the Pledge, I am sitting back and marveling at how God is wiping the slate of lies clean.

God is not money, he is not reserved to one nation, Christ is not something we can sell every December, marriage is a man-made tradition, and bias and prejudice will no longer stand. Your churches will be taxed, gays will be allowed to marry, the name of god (Man’s god) will be taken from every high place, and everything carnal man truly puts his faith in, MONEY, POWER, AUTHORITY, IS COMING DOWN! What has been done in secret will be secret no more. So speak up, confess and repent, for the KINGDOM IS HERE!

The world is about to change everyone. Praise God for that. We will know a God of love, not hate and condemnation. We will learn that we reap what we sow, we will turn from our wicked ways (false beliefs and ideas) and understand that God is in control.

Yesterday at lunch I called a friend, a mighty man of God, named Dean Dosher. You may not have heard of him, but I have sneaking suspicion the world soon will. As we spoke, I joked about how sometimes, when I don’t know what to write I simply pray, flip through the bible, and write on what I find.

So I grabbed my bible, and after talking about the state things while I ate my awesome hot Roast Beef Sandwich (MEAT) I asked him to stop me as I flipped through my bible… Then I gave him a choice of four columns of which I could read from, he chose FOUR.

It was in the Book of Jeremiah, and both Dean and I shook in our hearts as I read it aloud.

For this chapter, described the state of the world and religion today to a tee. It expressed the heartache of God, because his creation had become so corrupt that even when exchanging pleasantries with a neighbors, their hearts were devising evil ambush.

So true and compelling was this chapter that I want to share some of the verses with you. Because this was yet more confirmation that EVERYTHING WE KNOW IS ABOUT TO CHANGE!

JEREMIAH 8

5Why is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
9The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
10Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

(The Wives are CONGREGANTS, God is saying, he is going to take the Blind flock away from these false teachers and give them to ANOTHER)

11For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

(Religion makes grand promises that are never kept.)

12Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.

(That Time is NOW!)

15We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
18When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

JEREMIAH 9

3And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. 4Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. 5And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. 6Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

Is this NOT the way things are today? Are there any of you that truly trust those that say “Lord, Lord” in Religion. Are there not many in Religion that do not frown upon, or look down upon, or condemn others to feel better about their own pitiful existence? DOES ANYONE WANT TO PRAY, GOD TEACH ME THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHAT THE COST?

8Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. 9Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

What has been done in private will be revealed openly. The time is now, God will visit, as he has with Me, with all the wrong I have done in my life, and continue to do. I am no better or worse than the most lost in this world. For we are all one. And those God corrects, he loves. Your sufferings is God’s love poured out on you, so you will wake up and realize you are NOT IN CONTROL.

12Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

ARE WE GOING TO DECLARE IT? Who is going to stand up for this generation and say I AM!

Our Road to Emmaus REVEALED

Luke 24
13And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

(The Interpretation)

The double minded man is unstable in all his ways, he walks with no hope toward uncertainty, leaving the Truth behind. And along this journey the TRUTH is revealed within them, it is the Hope of Glory, Christ within. But the double minded man does not understand what TREASURE lay within. The double minded man does not understand the TRUTH that is within.

17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

Why have you worshipped a god that can be killed, and cannot save. Why don’t you have the hope, that is only found within?

18And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 22Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

Cleopas translates to “Of a Renowned Father” – This is who we are God’s child. The Double minded man trusted that a man named JESUS would redeem Israel. They looked for this literal man high and low, many wait for his return.

“Don’t you understand?”, the Child of a Renowned Father says ignorantly. “We heard this Jesus was ALIVE, but in the TOMB we could not find him”… Because you will NEVER find the living among the dead.

“Church” you will NEVER find the TRUTH among the DEAD. Leave the carnal death of religion and vain tradition, the TRUTH is not found there. YOU WILL NEVER FIND THE TRUTH IN THE IGNORANT ONES. In ADAM all die. And the DEAD (Ignorant) know not God.

25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Jesus called the double minded man a FOOL (doesn’t believe the Truth). They did not believe. And then, through the scriptures the TRUTH was revealed to the double minded man. He began to see, what the prophets had spoken concerning CHRIST. They saw what they couldn’t see before… They did not know WHO THEY WERE or what the PROPHETS had said of the COMING (REVEALING OF) Christ.

Do you know, what the PROPHETS said about the COMING (REVEALING) of Christ? – Let’s take a look at some.

2 Samuel 7:12-16 (NIV) When your days are over and you rest with your fathers (WHEN YOU DIE TO YOURSELF) I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body (WITHIN YOU), and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, with floggings inflicted by men. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me ; your throne will be established forever.'”

Psalms 2:7 (NIV) I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, “You are my Son ; today I have become your Father.

(Notice, it doesn’t say I was ALWAYS YOUR FATHER, Today I have become your FATHER, because before we know the Truth, our Father is the DEVIL (our egotistical carnal mind)

Isaiah 11:2 (NIV) The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him– the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD—

The Son (Child) of God, understands the TRUTH of who He is.

Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,

Psalms 45:7-8 (NIV) You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. 8 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad.

Deuteronomy 18:18 (NIV) I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

Isaiah 7:14 (NIV) Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. (WHICH MEANS GOD IN ME)

The prophets spoke of CHRIST that would rise from within the loins of ISRAEL… The Hope of Glory is CHRIST WITHIN. The Glory is the concealed TRUTH of God.

“It is the Glory of God to conceal a thing.”

Christ comes in the Glory of God = The TRUTH/SPIRIT OF GOD (Christ) comes (is revealed) in the HIDDEN THING.

Now follow these scriptures and SEE!

Matthew 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Matthew 13:11
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

The Double Minded man, does not understand this mystery. Until the TRUTH begins to reveal it from WITHIN.

Can you see? Can you hear the glorious trumpet ringing in your ears right now? COMMENT AMEN AND AMEN!

28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

The CHRIST within wants to go farther, to explain more, but the doubleminded man was not ready. He wanted to stay where he was, he did not want to go farther, because these words and truths were dark to him, he did not understand.

The double minded man can only go so far with revelation alone You see, SOMETHING ELSE IS NEEDED so the TWO can become ONE WITH GOD. And that is, HE MUST LEARN OBEDIANCE THROUGH THE THINGS HE SUFFERS.

30And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

We are the BREAD that is BROKEN.

1 Corinthians 10:17
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

Through much tribulation we enter the kingdom (Ruled by Truth and Spirit of God.

And after we are broken we will SEE! We will know the truth, and it will BURN WITHIN US, and it will SET US FREE!

32And 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?

We will RISE and RETURN to the place of TRUTH we left and find others to share THE GOOD NEWS of what we now know!

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

We will say, CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED! And that this great truth was made know to us, by what we suffered.

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

This “Church” is the GLORIOUS DAY we are in. What God has done for one, he does for all! He is no respector of persons and does not esteem one man greater than the next.

The Hope of Glory is no longer something we need to hope for… For, we no longer “hope” to understand that which is hidden, we will KNOW that which is hidden WITHIN US and it is CHRIST!

And we will know as we are known…. WE WILL FINALLY KNOW OUR TRUE SELF and as King Neb saw in his dream, this STONE within us, will grow into a great mountain whose rule shall have no end!

LAKE OF FIRE

March 21, 2010May 14, 2012Jacob Israel47 Comments

THE LAKE OF FIRE

First I want to say how good it feels to have liberty and to no longer be under the thumb of scary teachings like the whole “burn forever and ever and ever” one. It feels good to know God is in control and that God makes EVERYTHING beautiful in its time. He takes everything (ignorant/carnal) mankind makes ugly, and God makes it appear NEW and “BE-U-TIL-FULL”!

Now there was a time, THE LAKE OF FIRE to me, was a scary, ugly place, a lake of horrors indeed. Oh yes, Man has made the LAKE OF FIRE as VILE as the heart of carnal man itself… However, God changed all that in me, and He is going to take this UGLY LIE and turn it into the WONDERFUL TRUTH, that is TRULY “The Lake of Fire”.

I first want to point out that ONCE the LIES of MANKIND are let go (like the one they have created about the LAKE OF FIRE), and the TRUTH of GOD embracedTHE WORLD WILL CHANGE.

Let me explain why the teaching of infinite torture, promotes literal torture, prejudice and hate in the world. Why painting God as a god that acts like a Villian creates more Villians than Saviors in the world.

If your “literal” Father raised you to hate the JEWS, as Hitler taught many Germans to do, you would think you were doing your Father’s WILL be exterminating, torturing, and ridiculing them.

If your “literal” Father taught you to hate other races, as many of our fore fathers taught their children, you would grow up buying, selling and beating slaves, you would rape, and even murder them the instant they wanted to have rights and to be treated with respect. You would eradicate any race that was not your own, like the Indians. The reason? Because your “literal” Fathers taught would have taught you, it was the WAY.

If your literal Father taught you to hate anything, History proves you will hate. When a child is CONDITIONED to believe a certain way, UNLESS that child matures and changes their beliefs, they will do and be exactly what they were FORMED to be, by their hateful, bigoted, misinformed and biased “literal” Father’s of the world.

Now, you may question what this has to do with the “Lake of Fire”. Let me spell it out for you.

If you are TAUGHT and CONDITIONED to believe that YOUR FATHER in HEAVEN will endlessly torture (worse than any human has done before) those that don’t believe as “he” wants them to believe. THEN YOU will believe it is okay to do the same!

No, you say?

Do a google search of how many people have been killed in the name of God? It is going on today, it has been going on since the beginning of RELIGION. Whether you are a Jew, A Christian, or a Muslim, more sects than not, of all these faiths are engaged in what they believe to be a holy war. First let me point out what the word HOLY is described as being in scripture, then you will see how disgusting it is to place the word HOLY in from of the word WAR.

Timothy 2:8
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up HOLY hands, without wrath and doubting.
Holy hands according to the New testament, have no wrath or doubt. To be Holy is to be without spot or blemish, God is spirit and TRUTH, God’s spirit of TRUTH is HOLY. But most believe God to be a monster, far away, hands off, and incompetant. They believe a lie. Let me share what most believe about our HOLY GOD. “Most believe God will NOT finish his creation in Victory, but after being defeated by the very same devil he created, he will then have sour grapes and send a majority of his creation to a place of endless torture. That is unless of course they do what BENNY HINN, and other charlatans have done, say JESUS IS LORD, you do this and you can lie to the people, rip them off, and have affairs, live anyway you want. They believe anyone else who is not part of the club get the FIRE FOR ALL OF ETERNITY! HA HA HA HA!!!!!” – Now if this alone won’t make you run for the hills and want to find another God, or make you an atheist I don’t know what will.

Look, if you believe your FATHER in HEAVEN hates, then YOU WILL HATE… If you believe your Father in Heaven condemns, then you will condemn. If you believe your Father in Heaven tortures and kills, you will do the same.

John 16:2
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3And these things will they do unto you, because THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN THE FATHER…

But if the TRUTH of your FATHER IN HEAVEN is revealed, then you will do as your father does.

There is a reason Jesus said there should NEVER be an end to your forgiveness, if you live by the sword you’ll die by it, to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

It is because Jesus, knew the TRUTH, as the TRUTH was revealed WITHIN HIM, AND THE IMAGE OF GOD was seen of all men. And that IMAGE, LOVED, FORGAVE, WAS PATIENT, AND LONG SUFFERING.

Jesus did not come to CONDEMN (as we see so many preachers condeming any and everyone that is different, like gays, democrats :), those of varying faiths, etc) No, Jesus did not come to CONDEMN, Jesus came to SAVE! And I am here to do the same.

So, I’m about to tear ANOTHER MOTHER of a FALSE BELIEF down, so join me and help spread the word. Because the longer we believe God TORTURES and does not HEAL, the longer MANKIND WILL DO THE SAME.

So let’s get right into it…

Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Revelation 20:14,15
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15: And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Ah, the Lake of Fire, for many a horrifying place to be sent. This “Lake of Fire” is burning with BRIMSTOME, and the ONLY place that mentions THIS PLACE is John’s Book, “His Revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Now there are so many misconceptions (Beliefs- that MISS the mark – and CONCIEVE a LIE in mankind’s heart) about the Lake of Fire that I would have to write a whole book on the subject. But not today, I am going to keep this paper as brief as possible.

So let’s start by pointing out what THE LAKE OF FIRE is NOT!

HELL – Many claim that the Lake of Fire is actually a place of infinite torture called HELL. Well all one needs to do is LOOK up and re-read Rev 20:14 to find out that HELL is cast into the Lake of Fire, to rid God’s creation of it.

Why? You ask. Because HELL is not eternal, it is not infinite. Hell also simply put, means “grave, hidden place” and we’re all in it people. If you are in the Flesh than you are in the GRAVE (Hell) UNLESS you are born of spirit. Then you are IN HEAVEN (living WITHIN YOURSELF and not putting faith OUTSIDE YOURSELF). Truer words were not spoken about HELL, Hell is your IGNORANCE. And yes there is much suffering there. Hell is a MINDSET, it is a place we enter spiritually/emotionally when we believe the LIES from our carnal mind/ego and flee from the Truth of Christ within. THAT IS HELL. (See my article To Hell with Hell) – But for those who state that the Lake of Fire is another name for HELL, wake up and smell the BRIMSTONE (which by the way is an essential ELEMENT FOR LIFE, it’s not only a purifying agent, but it is also NECESSARY FOR GROWTH) – Any chemistry teacher knows this. BRIMSTONE, which is commonly known as SULFUR, is a GOOD THING! Not a band thing! Take a look at the definition of BRIMSTONE/SULFUR

Sulfur, in its native form, is a bright yellow crystalline solid. In nature, it can be found as the pure element and as sulfide and sulfate minerals. It is an essential element for life and is found in two amino acids: cysteine and methionine. Its commercial uses are primarily in fertilizers, also known as BRIMSTONE

So much for it being a scary smoky terrible thing. Brimstone is ESSENTIAL for LIFE AND GROWTH and PURIFICATION!

And just as Hell (our ignorance) HAS PURPOSE for our growth, as pressure makes the diamond, manure helps the flower, irritation makes the pearl etc… For a time, Hell will be around, but even this God will deliver us from, and that’s when it is cast into THE LAKE OF FIRE. So the TRUTH will grow, and every lie we have believed will be “burned” (not literally, allegorically) away.

Don’t you find it interesting that so many teach, that the “names” that aren’t written in the Book of Life are PUNISHED by being cast there, but never once mention, that HELL is also cast there?

SIDE NOTE: Name = Nature… These aren’t literal names like Bob, Pamela, Ezekeil, etc, that are cast there, but NATURES in mankind that need to be purified. (Hate, greed, lust, envy, etc)

Listen, my hope is that people will understand that WONDERFUL, THE LAKE OF FIRE IS. Our GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE, which WILL CONSUME US, until we are the EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIM. Now, look, don’t think only a select few will experience the LAW OF FIRE. Scripture states very clearly, EVERYONE will have their part in it.

That’s right, every single person on this planet, experiences the LAKE OF FIRE. Oh what, did you Blind Religious Leaders forget to mention that minor detail? Take a look.

Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

THE SECOND DEATH = LAKE OF FIRE.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Now pay attention here because if you’re ears aren’t ready to hear this, you may have to re-read this paper at a later date.

Notice who is thrown into the SECOND DEATH, fearful, unbelieving, and liars…. These three alone describe every single person on the planet. We have all been fearful, unbelieving, and we have all lied and probably still tell those little white lies, and get scared, and lack faith. For example, we may lie because we don’t believe someone we care about will understand, we are fearful yet… You see? Now stay with me… watch the next verse.

Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Those who have BEEN RESURRECTED (see my article on the True First Resurrection) the SECOND DEATH (LAKE OF FIRE) has no power… Why? You ask.

Because those who have taken part of the first resurrection, have already TAKEN PART OF THE SECOND DEATH. Meaning they have DIED to their carnal nature/themselves spiritually. They understand that they reap what they sow, when trouble comes their way, they understand it is to purify them further.

You see, our troubles, what torments (tests) us, is there to better us. Once you understand this, you will no longer be hurt by the SECOND DEATH.

This LAKE OF FIRE is NOT A FUTURE EVENT, as some would claim. It is a NOW event. Each of us, has our part in the LAKE OF FIRE. By now, I hope you see this is GREAT NEWS!

For some those words “LAKE OF FIRE” inspire SUCH FEAR… But if God doesn’t give us the spirit (thought/words) of Fear, then where is your fear coming from? … The CARNAL ANTICHRIST SPIRIT within, that’s where. And guess what, the FEARFUL are thrown into the LAKE OF FIRE, until they FEAR NO MORE.

When you are done reading this essay, I pray you will never again worry about the lies meat-heads have told you about this place, and you will thank God, because it is HIS FIRE that is doing it’s work in you, for you. HE that began a good work in you, shall complete it. Meaning…

1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

And yes, that word ALL means THE ENTIRETY OF HIS CREATION, shall be SAVED… How are we saved? = BY, coming to the KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. What are we save from? = Our ignorance

You see it is the TRUTH that sets us FREE. The WORD (Logos/Truth) of God saves us… This WORD is better understood by knowing the TRUE DEFINITION of what LOGOS really means… You can thank my friend “URIAH” for pointing that out to me, as we spoke yesterday. (By the way, be on the look out for his book of poetry which will be released soon)…

So we are saved by believing and TRUSTING the WORD OF GOD. Word is an English translation for LOGOS, which literally translates to: “Use as respect to the MIND alone. Reason, the mental faculty of thinking, meditating, reasoning, calculating account, regard, considering, reckoning, answer or explanation.”

You see the WORD of GOD is not a LITERAL MAN people, it is the MENTAL FACULTY of THINKING, REASONING, CALCULATING, the Understanding of an ANSWER or EXPLANATION, it is the WISDOM that is WITHIN A MAN, that saves him… The LOGOS, is the THOUGHT OF GOD’S TRUTH, the UNDERSTANDING of who God is, and who you are in relation to God (ONE).

This is how we are saved. This is why, the scripture states GOD WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED. And God does this, by having ALL OF MANKIND come TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.

Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

But how on EARTH would any of us do that, when we have been formed in a SEA OF DECEPTION AND LIES?

The answer is THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Now before I even translate these words to show you how wonderful their true meaning is. I want to point out how we are saved, from the scriptural account.

Jesus saves right? Amen… And who was IN Jesus… GOD!

2 Corinthians 5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

And who is IN ALL OF US?

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory

You see, CHRIST is IN US ALL… In John 1, we are told, this TRUTH is in everyone from the womb. The LIGHT shines in DARKNESS. Meaning the TRUTH is in ALL mankind, and it is shining even though many are ignorant. This is why there are many good natured people who do wonderful things, but don’t even believe in God. But this, I must admit is a mystery, and mysteries needs to be found out.

You never find out the REAL ANSWERS in a Mystery Novel until you FINISH the novel itself. So why would this mysterious life, (The Kingdom of Heaven is a Mystery) be any different in you?

You will not KNOW THE TRUTH and be SET FREE from your CARNAL SELF, until you come to the END OF YOURSELF. Until you turn that last page and see as you are seen. HINT: if you SEE as you are SEEN, you are SEEING YOURSELF.

And this, this my friends is the purpose of the LAKE OF FIRE. To help us SEE as we are SEEN. As it purges away EVERYTHING that is not WRITTEN in the BOOK OF LIFE.

The word WRITTEN (Grapho) means to record, so things are not forgotten, BUT REMEMBERED. In other words, everything that is NOT TRUE, everything that is not to be REMEMBERED is destroyed.

John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your REMEMBRANCE, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Everything that IS TO BE REMEMBERED, will be REMEMBERED, and we will no longer think on those things that are NOT TRUTH. We will only think on those things which be of God.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Now, let me point out something about the word FIRE.

Fire is used to BURN DOWN what we no longer want or need, like Garbage. FIRE is used to purify precious metals, like Silver, etc… FIRE is a wonderful allegory of how things are MADE CLEAN, and freed from the dross and impurities that keep it from being whole.

FIRE is used to kill germs. Fire is used to aid in the healing of wounds. FIRE is used to cook food, to kill bacteria, to make things profitable, etc… FIRE is a good thing. This is why, Christ baptizes with FIRE… Oh you forgot about that did you.

Don’t Forget God Holds Us Over The Hottest Part of the Flame LIKE A SILVERSMITH!

And what does the word BAPTISM means, TO COMPLETELY SUBMERGE. So we are completely submerged in this FIRE to rid us of anything that is NOT TO BE REMEMBERED. This FIRE = TRUTH = The SPIRIT OF TRUTH/GOD

Matthew 3:11
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with FIRE:

Wait a minute Jacob… Then FIRE is a GOOD THING?

That’s right and not just that, sparky, FIRE IS A GOD THING!

Hebrews 12:29
For our God is a consuming fire.

Have you ever heard someone say, “I got a fire inside me that is burning me up!”

God is the very TRUTH that CONSUMES US. When we leave this TRUTH for the lies of man, we BURN with our SUFFERING. The process is no fun. As I am sure, the SILVER does not like being held to the hottest part of the Flame until all of the impurities are released from it.

Zechariah 13:9
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS REFINED, and will TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

Silver is REFINED with FIRE = God Refines us with THE LAKE OF FIRE (HIS CONSUMING SPIRIT)
Gold is TRIED with a Touchstone (tormented) = We are Tormented (tested until pure)

“CHURCH” this is how God chose to deliver us.

Do you know why the SMITH must never take his eye of the SILVER as he is holding it over the flame… Because he doesn’t want to lose any of the SILVER, he wants only to burns away everything that ISN’T SILVER…. Do you know when the SMITH knows that the SILVER is totally pure? … WHEN THE SMITH SEES IT’S IMAGE IN THE SILVER!

God does the same with us. He TESTS (torments) us until he sees HIS IMAGE clearly. And so then WE can be LIVING EPISTLES to be read of ALL MANKIND.

He could have chosen butterflys and daffodils to make us pure, but he chose the FURNACE OF AFFLICTION.

Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee… I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

I know it sounds awful. But think about it. We are stubborn animals by our carnal nature, and nothing is a better teacher than what we suffer by our own hands.

Like that time I stuck a paperclip in the socket, OW! But guess what, it was a great lesson I learned last week, now I understand never to do that again. (snicker, snicker)

You see, God is not mocked whatever a man sows he shall also reap.

One day, all will come to the knowledge that God is in control, and we will stop hating, debating, we will no longer be biased or fearful, we will not tear down, we will build up, EVERY NAME (NATURE) not WRITTEN (remembered) will be BURNED AWAY. Until all that is left is CHRIST!

Now, let me share with you the definitions of some of these words. Like torment, Lake, etc… so you understand that this SECOND DEATH, is a process we ALL endure. And it is there for OUR GOOD.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Please remember, God ONLY has thoughts of PEACE for us, to GIVE US an EXPECTED END (victory in/as CHRIST). And God ONLY creates what he THINKS. It is THOUGHT that Creates, and HIS THOUGHTS TOWARD US are for PEACE and an EXPECTED END (THE END of our ignorant ways)

So let’s look AGAIN at what is really CAST into the LAKE OF FIRE.

Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The DEVIL, BEAST and FALSE PROPHET. THE CARNAL MIND is CAST there. As well as DEATH, HELL, and EVERY NATURE in MANKIND that is not TRUTH, PEACE AND LOVE (fear, hate, murder, greed, lies, etc)

The question is why? Why are they CAST there?

The answer is, to RID us from the POWER they once had OVER US.

Now, look I want to point out what some of these words literally mean. Let’s start with LAKE.

LAKE – Comes from word liðmnh – Which was derived from the word limh/n (which means HAVEN)

FIRE: God is a comsuming Fire, fire is used for offerings, and mainly used for purification

BURNING: Which means to LIGHT, or CONSUME

BRIMSTONE: comes from the Original word Theoin (which speaks of purification, growth, essential for LIFE) the word is taken from the Word “Theios” Which speaks of God.

TORMENT is BASANISMO which means: testing by the touchstone, which is a black siliceous stone used to test the purity of gold or silver by the colour of the streak produced on it by rubbing it with either metal

Torment means to TEST the PURITY OF. It does not mean TORTURE.
Think about it, if we are talking about literal torture here, and literal hell and literal DEATH, how can DEATH be tortured?… HELLO? IS THIS THING ON? TORMENT, TORMENT, ON, TWO, THREE… Get it “Testing, Testing, One, Two, Three.” 🙂

So “THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE” is actually “A HAVEN where GODS SPIRIT consumes US with his Presence/Truth and TESTS the purity of our hearts, until we are clean and pure.”

This is why only the wicked natures in man are sent there, the LAKE OF FIRE is the very place that frees us from DEATH, HELL, THE FALSE PROPHET, LIES, HATE, THE DEVIL, AND EVERY EVIL THOUGHT.

Just as there are TWO BIRTHS recorded in scripture. The First is PHYSICAL and the second is SPIRITUAL. There are also TWO DEATHS IN SCRIPTURE, the FIRST DEATH is what we experience in ADAM and the SECOND DEATH is when that ADAMIC NATURE (the carnal man) is put to death, so the TRUTH OF CHRIST WITHIN can rule and reign again.

So today let us all THANK GOD for His Spirit which is a LAKE OF FIRE, and let us joyfully allow this FIRE to CONTINUE TO BURN until GOD is seen IN and OF US ALL!

Peace and love to you all,
Jacob

IN THE BEGINNING, WE CREATED?

March 17, 2010November 11, 2011Jacob Israel21 Comments

IN THE BEGINNING, WE CREATED?

Okay, I’m going to be very up front and blunt with you all. This article is NOT for everyone. So, please for your peace of mind and for the sake of my inbox, if you aren’t interested in new and exciting ways to look at scripture then take a look at some of the other articles on this site, as this look at the First Five Verses in “Genesis One” may cause a great unease in those who aren’t ready to dive into the deep.

So, let’s begin “IN THE BEGINNING”

Let me first set the stage. Read these next scriptures very closely.

John 1:3 All things were made by him (word of God/God); and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son (Word of God), whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom (son/Word of God) also he made the worlds

Col 1:16 For by him (son) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him(the son), and for him (the son)

Romans 11:36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever.

I hope it is clear, that EVERYTHING SEEN AND UNSEEN was/is CREATED BY THE SON(Word of God), AND FOR THE SON…. THE SON (child of God/image of God/Word of God/God’s true spirit/Life). This is a very important fact. Because the scripture states very clearly, that the SON does the CREATING (the word revealed in Man and express image of God).

Now let’s take a further look into this. As I know many are like, well where is the FATHER in all of this. And when I say FATHER (giver of seed/truth/word) I mean our CREATOR, GOD. So if the SON is the one creating everything according to the scriptures, why for years have we stated that “In the beginning God created” and then took that to mean, GOD the ONE source of all things?

Well the answer to that you will find in this essay, and it is as wonderful as it may be dificult for many to truly believe… But this next passage in scripture will explain the roles of God and the Son (Word of God) very clearly, so there is no mistaking as we go into this study. By the way, when I say SON, I don’t mean JESUS THE MAN, I mean ALL OF HUMANITY, THE BODY OF CHRIST. The SON is an allegory of the seed giving SPIRIT within us all, begotten of the ONLY SPIRIT there is GOD. This is the SON (MANY MEMBERED BODY OF CHRIST, which means MEN AND WOMEN alike). “In Christ there is no male or female.” As he made ADAM (male and female) — The word SON is symbolic of a strength and authority and has nothing to do with gender.

Now read this next verse no less than THREE TIMES.

1 Corinthians 8:6 – yet for us there is but ONE GOD, the Father, FROM WHOM ARE ALL THINGS and WE EXIST FOR HIM; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him (CHRIST).

So here we learn, “There is ONE GOD”, only ONE (God, Creator) – The source of everything, GOD THE ALMIGHTY.

From GOD are ALL THINGS = God is EVERYTHING.

All things are FROM GOD. Not some things, ALL THINGS. And WE EXIST for HIM. Our reason for existence is FOR GOD.

King David understood this, when he wrote…

Psalm 139:8 – If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

God is everywhere, for everything is FROM GOD. So much for those who say God is not present in Hell. Quick note: Hell is not some infinite place of torture, it is simply the mindest of IGNORANCE and LIES. In this GRAVE/ Carnal Mindset there is great suffering… For a more in depth look at HELL, please read my article “to Hell with Hell”

Back to our paper here, So God is the source of EVERYTHING. God is ALL in ALL. God is our SOURCE of LIFE (CHRIST – his spirit and truth/word).

Catch this if you can… “And THE SON/ WE, (Children of God), exist FOR HIM!”

Our VERY EXISTENCE is FOR GOD.… and ONE LORD Jesus Christ (Who was the WORD revealed in Man, second Adam, second man, MESSIAH) –

By this SON are ALL THINGS, and we exist THROUGH HIM. (The son = which is the many memebered body, humanity – although I will explain this further as I know some are not ready to hear this yet.)

So we EXIST FOR GOD, and to do this we EXIST THROUGH CHRIST, who is the SON (many membered body of Christ), WHO MADE ALL THINGS, seen, unseen, etc etc. Get it?

First contemplate what it means to EXIST THROUGH SOMETHING.

Look up the definition of the word “through” … You read “through” a book. One profound definition of this word, means “From Beginning to End” … isn’t that something?

Revelation 1:8
I am Alpha and Omega, the BEGINNING AND THE ENDING, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

The Strongs translates that word “through” in that instance as “during, in, by, by means of, and the ground or reason by which something is or is not done ”

Now let’s look at that one verse again and enter in the definitions.

1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, FROM WHOM ARE ALL THINGS and WE EXIST FOR HIM; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist THROUGH Him (CHRIST).

So to exist THROUGH CHRIST, means we exist from beginning to the end for the reason of Christ, by Christ, for Christ, by means of Christ, during Christ, in Christ, as Christ.

In simple terms, all there is, is GOD, and His Spirit and Word “CHRIST” (who we EXIST as, through, for and by reason of) –

CHRIST who is our LIFE. Our LIFE is Christ.

The LIFE you are living IS CHRIST. You don’t see it that way, because your EGO MAN, your ANTICHRIST, CARNAL NATURE that you believe is you, has FORGOTTEN the truth of who you ARE!

That alone is hard to grasp. But let’s move on to how everything BEGAN… AND TO DO THIS, I had to lay the groundwork, that…

John 1: 3 – All things were made by him (Word of God); and without him was not any thing made that was made.

We must understand going into this study, without a shadow of a doubt that the SON CREATED ALL THINGS. And you will find the SON, is the MANY MEMBERED BODY which is US. So, if we ALL be Christ (EITHER DEAD (Ignorant) in Adam – or Resurrected (enlightened) in Christ) and by Christ all things are made, then Genesis 1 should reveal this. If CHRIST is not ONE, but MANY – PLURAL the words in GENESIS one should reveal this. And guess what “Church” THEY DO!

SO BUCKLE UP. Five verses in Genesis, sum up the entirety of our fall and ressurection… The whole story, right there in FIVE SIMPLE VERSES. That for thousands of years, we have believed literally, we have ignored the definition and meaning of these words, and the SPIRIT did not reveal the TRUTH. So, as Jesus said, Rejoice because if you can recieve this, this is a GOOD DAY INDEED.

ONE MORE TIME: If we be IN CHRIST, we ARE CHRIST. And joint heirs according to the promise.

Romans 12:5
So we, being many, are ONE body IN Christ, and every one members one of another.

1 Corinthians 12:12
For as the BODY is ONE, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are ONE body: SO ALSO IS CHRIST.

Look at that last line, SO ALSO IS CHRIST. Meaning Christ IS MANY, these MANY are ONE, and being MANY they MAKE UP ONE CHRIST. (HUMANITY)

You see people God only has ONE SON. In the beginning his name was ADAM, which in HEBREW translates to HUMANITY. In the FIRST MAN, we all DIE (become ignorant of who we WERE with God).

And the LAST ADAM (last NATURE of MAN) we find our way back. And interesting enough this LAST ADAM is CHRIST (the annointed one, messiah). “I am the first and the last indeed”

We are either DEAD IN ADAM (fallen state of god’s son/mankind) or we are ALIVE in Christ (risen state of Mankind/resurrected into Christ as ONE)

And according to scripture ALL THINGS we made by the SON (Adam/Christ/mankind). If we have ears to hear this, or eyes to see this, you’ll understand that CHRIST is both the FIRST MAN and the LAST MAN. As we are both IGNORANT of God’s truth and our Life Hid in Christ, and become Born again by being ENLIGHTENED to God’s truth.

You see “Church” this isn’t the story of just one man from two thousand years ago, this is OUR STORY.

1 John 4: 17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because AS HE (Jesus Christ) IS, SO ARE WE in this world.

There is no difference between us. As I would say I am not greater then my younger brothers, and my older brother is no greater than I… So we too must see that, “as HE is so are We”

Romans 8:29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

This is WHY we EXIST. To be conformed to the Image of His Son, that the RISEN MAN might be the first Born among MANY BRETHREN.

Romans 8: 19 – For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

This I believe is what CREATION is all about, the MANIFESTATION of the MANY MEMBERED BODY OF CHRIST.

Man, made in God’s Image. Man made IN CHRIST as Christ, through CHRIST, for Christ from beginning to end.

So let’s start already. CREATION TIME FOLKS. But who and what is being created.

GENESIS 1 1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Let’s for a moment throw aside the idea of an old man with a white beard creating the sky and the ground. And let’s, let scripture, and the actual meaning of these words interpret what is being recorded here in Genesis One. (And keep in your memory all those scriptures stating that the SON created all things and that the SON is mankind, either Dead in Adam or Alive in Christ. But the SON, being MANY is ONE.)

Our first step if to put the word GOD under the STRONGS microscope. Most of you know this already. That it does not refer to ONE but MANY. The word for GOD here is “Elohiym” which is a PLURAL WORD, referring to MANY, multitudes, A WHOLE LOT.

“And we being Many are ONE”

Here is the Strong’s definition of ELOHIYM (plural) rulers, judges, divine ones, divine ones, angels, gods.

Now, keep in mind what Jesus said about mankind when they are risen with Christ.

Psalms 82 “Know you are gods (Elohiym)

That brings up an interesting point don’t you think? The SON (Mankind) creates all things, and the word GOD, is Elohiym, which Jesus ALSO uses to describe MANKIND. Not a single MAN, or TRINITY, But he spoke of all ISRAEL, all MEN AND WOMEN.

Psalms 82 “Know you are gods (Elohiym)

MANKIND = ELOHIYM

Here let me make it plain for you.

In the beginning ELOHIYM created. – And we (Israel) are ELOHIYM
Get it?

Probably not, this is a tough saying for sure. Doesn’t make it less true. Read on, if you dare.

So “ELOHIYM” created…. HEAVEN AND EARTH… Ah, but yet another mystery is about to be revealed. Because if your looking UP for Heaven and down at the ground beneath your feet as the Earth, guess what? You would be wrong. This verse has NOTHING to do with the literal expanse of the sky, space, etc, or the ground below us. Those are physical allegories for us to learn from.

2 Corinthians 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Here we are told NOT to look at the things which are LITERALLY SEEN, but at those which are NOT. For the temporal world is TEMPORARY, and that is Not GOD, but a shadow of God. So HEAVEN and EARTH, that was created is MORE. So let’s find out what HEAVEN and EARTH really is.

Ecclesiastes 5:2
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for GOD IS IN HEAVEN, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

God is said to be IN HEAVEN – GOD IS IN HEAVEN. Is not God seated in his TEMPLE? Are we not the TEMPLE OF GOD? Isn’t the Kingdom(reign) of Heaven WITHIN US?

Heaven clearly isnt the sky OR space. But the very place GOD rules from. WITHIN US!

Isaiah 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Here we see GOD’S WAYS and THOUGHTS are compared to the HEAVENS (IN US), and MAN’S WAYS and THOUGHTS as to the EARTH.

Jeremiah 10:12
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

So it could stand to reason that since the Kingdom (Reign) of Heaven is WITHIN, and God dwells WITHIN, that HEAVEN is THE TRUTH OF GOD/HIS WAYS/HIS THOUGHTS… and since Man dwells in EARTH… That the EARTH is symbolic of Mans’ thoughts and ways…Too far fetched?

Well read on, it will get farther still.

With all this in mind, we could see the first line of Genesis is actually speaking about US, not the sky and clouds and grass and dirt.

GENESIS 1 1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

To save time, I am just going to put the STRONGS definitions of some of these words next to them. Feel free to check them out for yourself.
But when you see, what I now see, you’ll NEVER look at these five passages of scripture the same again.

The WORD BEGINNING is translated in the STRONGS from the Hebrew as “FIRSTFRUIT, FIRSTFRUITS” as well as “First, Beginning, Chief” etc.

But I am going to use the word FIRSTFRUITS definition, BECAUSE it is so fascinating to me. As this word could have simply been translated as “the very first thing, or simply the beginning of it all.” But the word BEGINNING in Gen 1 was not translated that way. It was translated as First fruits (Remnant)

In fact, the original Hebrew word translates “Beginning” 9 times as FIRSTFRUITS in KJV. Now, that is very cool indeed!

Also the word “Created” can be translated into “Birthed” “Formed” “Cut Down” as well as “Shaped” and “Created”

Romans 8:20 – the creature was made subject to vanity (cut down) NOT WILLINGLY.

Once more, in this paper, I will start with what is written and then I will translate what I believe these passages mean, using scripture and definitions to back it up. (Once again, I am simply dissecting the SPIRITUAL significance of this, not the literal, AND I COULD BE COMPLETLY WRONG. For me it is true, But please LET GOD BE TRUE and every man a liar!)

So let’s put it all together now.

Genesis 1:1 “In the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth” to

Now changed to:

Genesis 1:1 In the FIRST FRUITS, ELOHYIM (the DIVINE ONES/Rulers/Many membered body of Christ) gave birth to, or cut down, God’s Thoughts and Man’s thoughts.

Isn’t that exactly what happens with each of us? We come into this world, and we begin to form thoughts of God and thoughts of ourselves. We give birth to the idea of GOD and the idea of ourselves (ego). Therefore CUTTING down the TRUTH of God, and the TRUTH of we are IN GOD.

Now I want to add in something my new friend Jim Swilley added last night on his facebook page. Jim, Pastors what I understand to be a pretty awesome church called “Church in the Now” http://www.churchinthenow.org/ and he always has something eye opening to add. He wrote that in the Concordant Literal Old testament, that first line of Genesis states… “In A beginning God created…” Now this really adds to what I have written here. Because this states that there are many Beginnings. In fact, there are. We all enter in, but in God’s timing. For He makes EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in it’s time. “Each man/woman in their order”. (Just something interesting I wanted to add in there)

Let’s continue with verse two.

Genesis 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

A couple of words need to be translated here. These are from the STRONGS so check them out, don’t take my word for it.

“Was” = “Became”, “Form” = “Confusion, Vanity” , “Void” = “Emptied” , “Face” = “In front of, before” , “Darkness = Obscurity/secret place = ignorance”

And the DEEP = “God’s thoughts and TRUTH” — Psalm 92:5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

So let’s put all these words together and translate the beginning of Genesis 1:2 – “And Man’s Thoughts and Ways became Confused, and Empty, they no longer understood the TRUTH of God that was within them, the TRUTH was no longer the foremost of their thoughts”

Now let’s move unto to part two.

“And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

First, we know the SPIRIT OF GOD is The HOLY SPIRIT which descended on Jesus. And, CATCH THIS what happened after the HOLY SPIRIT did this? — Jesus understood, he was God’s SON in whom God is well pleased…

But here is another way of understanding the SPIRIT OF GOD. —

1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

The SPIRIT of God is the ONLY way to KNOW GOD.

So, now the question is how did (the Spirit of God) MOVE and what does that mean? So we translate.

“Moved” = “Relaxed, Grew Soft” and the word “Upon” translates into = “On behalf of, along with, in addition to together with”

To understand the “WATERS” — Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The WATERS which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. — Job 26:5 Dead things are formed from under the WATERS, and the inhabitants thereof.

The WATERS are the carnal, ignorant ways of Man after becoming ignorant/forgetting God’s truth.

The WATERS are the peoples, multitudes. The WATERS is where DEAD (CARNAL) things are formed. This is why Jesus walked ABOVE the waters. The TRUTH cannot be sucked down into ignorance. AND, these WATERS (Man’s carnal ignorance) is where JESUS tells us to FISH UP MANKIND. “I will make you fishers of men”

Look, you all, I know this is some heavy stuff for some of you. But, see how beautifully it all fits together. Now let’s put it all together now and translate this second part.

“And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

Translates to…

“And the Truth of God GREW SOFT/RELAXED ON BEHALF OF the ignorant state mankind was in”

Let’s put the whole scripture together now:
FROM:

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

TO:

Genesis 1:2 — “And Man’s Thoughts and Ways became Confused and Vain. They no longer understood God’s TRUTH within them. This TRUTH was no longer the foremost thought in their mind. Because of this, the Spirit of God relaxed and grew soft on behalf of the ignorant state mankind was in.”

Now people here is where it gets interesting. In the second verse, we learn that Mankind had FORGOTTEN the truth of God, and who they were. They, like us, felt a void an emptiness, because they, like us (before knowing the TRUTH within) were living a lie, they were DEAD/ignorant. And just like us, when we were lost, we said… LET THERE BE GOD IN OUR LIVES… Look at the nest verse.

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

Once again God is “Elohiym” (plural) rulers, judges, divine ones, divine ones, angels, gods. – And remember Jesus told us, that WE ARE ELOHIYM, we are gods, angels, divine rulers.

Now we translate the word “SAID” = “to say in one’s heart, to think, to command, to promise, to intend.”

The LIGHT we intended to know is “The way, The Truth, Salvation” –

Psalm 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Like I said, at this point, the Firstfruits (Remnant of HUMANITY) realized how bankrupt they became and wanted a way to return to GOD! They wanted to be saved from their ignorance.

I liken this 3rd line of Genesis to what we all experience the INSTANT we WANT TO KNOW GOD! – We say, “I want God, let there be LIGHT in my life” and then at that moment we HAVE A GOD to worship and know.

The LIGHT is there the instant we realize we NEED IT. God became TRUTH again IN OUR LIVES. WE IN FACT CREATE THE LIGHT!

So let’s translate line, with all the additions and translations and definitions… verse 3:

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

To

“And we (elohiym) intended to know GOD again. We decided to know the TRUTH in our hearts and minds, we intended to be saved from our ignorant state. And the instant we did this, the Word (Truth) of God rose up again inside of us”

Now listen, to save even more time, I am just going to put in the transliterated words where they belong. You can always double check my work if you want. But me explaining every other line, which words I will translate and what they translate to, takes a good deal of time…

SO LET’S ROCK AND ROLL! Or Should I say, let’s ROLL that ROCK AWAY so we can LIVE AGAIN!

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

“Saw” = “Inspect, Consider, Understand, Perceive”

4 And WE (Elohiym) CONSIDERED the TRUTH and UNDERSTOOD IT, and knew is was GOOD (beneficial). And WE separated the TRUTH from the Obscurity we once dwelled in.

And VERSE FIVE you will see, is the completion of creation itself. The whole of creation in five verses.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Let’s look at that verse through Young’s literal

5and God calleth to the light `Day,’ and to the darkness He hath called `Night;’ and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day one.

Which translates to:

5 And WE proclaimed the TRUTH continually, and to our ignorance and obscurity, we proclaimed a protective shadow… And we understand there is a time of ignorance and there is a time of enlightenment… This is the FIRST DAY! (Sabbath)

Has everyone forgotten that the FIRST DAY is the SABBATH when GOD (ELOHYIM) ceases from his WORK. And why wouldn’t he/she. He/She knows who they are. They are the BODY OF CHRIST, THE MIND OF CHRIST, AND ARE CALLED BY THE NAME OF CHRIST — They are the FIRSTFRUITS that the whole of creation has been travailing to meet. THEY ARE US, who has been chosen for such a time as this. To make straight the paths that mankind has made crooked.

All things were made by the son for the son. WE ARE THE SON (image of God, the FIRST AND THE LAST)

THE DAY BEGINS AND ENDS WITH US. We all share one thing in common, we are the CENTER, we all at our very core, are the SPIRIT OF GOD, our LIFE is hid with Christ, and in these five verses, what we hid, we now understand. It is the FIRST DAY of LIFE.

Leviticus 23:35
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. (SABBATH REST)

I want to finish this article, by placing the five verses together and then the interpretation below it. I hope it anything, it will spark a conversation and get us all to pray, as I pray “God teach me the truth no matter what the cost” “Increase my Faith!”

GENESIS 1 1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4- And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5- And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the FIRST DAY. (Sabbath Rest)</strong>

Genesis 1:1 In the FIRST FRUITS, WE (Elohyim = Many membered body of Christ) cut down God’s Thoughts and Man’s thoughts. 2 – And Mankind’s Thoughts and Ways became Confused, and Empty, they no longer understood the TRUTH of God that was within them, the TRUTH was no longer the foremost in their thoughts. 3 – And WE (elohiym) intended to know GOD again. We decided to know the TRUTH in our hearts and minds, we intended to be saved from our ignorant state. And the instant we did this, the Word (Truth) of God rose up again inside of us. 4- And WE (Elohiym) CONSIDERED the TRUTH and UNDERSTOOD IT, and knew it was GOOD (beneficial). And WE (Elohiym) separated ourselves to the TRUTH from the Obscurity where once we dwelled. 5 And WE (Elohiym) proclaimed the TRUTH continually, and to our ignorance and obscurity, we proclaimed it to be a protective shadow only/Death… And we understand there was a time for our ignorance and there was a time for enlightenment… This is the FIRST DAY! (Sabbath Rest)

Now before you jump to the conlusion that WE (the many memeberd body of Christ) do not create. I want you to take a moment and look around your home/apartment. Try and find one thing that was not created by God’s Image Mankind. Find one thing that wasn’t created by the SON (Mankind) and for the SON (Mankind – Dead in Adam or Alive in Christ).

There is no limit to what we can achieve, no goal that is unattainable, nothing we can imagine that will not come to be, with faith. The Inpsiration comes from WITHIN US, and then it is manifested in the EARTH. “Whatever is loosed in Heaven is Loosed in Earth” … This is why we pray, “Your kingdom (reign) come (manifested/revealed) on earth (mans ways) as it is in heaven (God’s ways).

Now one last thing I would like to leave with you. If we truly CREATE, than the life we are living, is a LIFE we have SOWN. Our very way of life is our creation. And if that be true, we have the power to change it, by changing how we think, by having Faith that all things are possible for us IN CHRIST.

We Created?Controversial, Creation, Elohiym, In the Beginning, Many Membered Body of Christ

To Tithe or not to Tithe, that is the Question!

March 14, 2010March 25, 2012Jacob Israel18 Comments

THE LIE OF THE MAN MADE TITHE

Ah, the Tithe. In many churches around the world, this word is used quite often. Let me first explain how it is used in many man made churches and religions today. The Religious Leader every so often will teach on the subject, stating that it is our obligation to give a tenth of our financial earnings, or whatever else will profit them, to whatever certain man made church, ministry, temple, etc. that we attend.

In Fact the word TITHE, literally means Ten, or Tenth.

Now to get their followers to TITHE and OFFER, they will use some techniques that are less than honest and pure. They will promise great rewards to those who give this money, and promise terrible things to happen for those that don’t. Using scriptures, like the two listed below…

YOU’LL BE BLESSED IF YOU TITHE

Luke 6:38 – Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Yet, is this scripture really talking about giving money? Ahhhh NOPE! The Key to what is supposed to be GIVEN is found in the entire chapter, but truly is best summed up in the next verse.

39And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

We are suppose to give the Truth, show love, compassion, be charitable, etc… We are to DO UNTO OTHERS as we want done unto US… This isn’t about giving some ministry your money. Although it could be twisted to seem that way. The Truth is we are to be charitable, if we see a need in others that we can meet, and we don’t meet that need, than we are walking on that “other side” and we are lost. For what you do to one, you to do yourself, you do to Christ.

So before I continue this article, for those who will try and state that I am saying we need not be charitable, I want to make the point early on. WE MUST BE CHARITABLE. If not we are like a Clanging Symbols, and we all know clanging symbols are annoying as all egt out! But no amount of manipulation of the scriptures will ever change the fact that God does not NEED your money. Even if they throw the scripture below in your face to scare you.

YOU’LL BE CURSED IF YOU DON’T

Malachi 3:8 – Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

This once again has nothing to do with giving your local church your hard earned dollars. It has everything to do, with NOT OBTAINING THE TRUTH OF GOD and sharing it with others. It has to do with turning away from God, as opposed to yielding to God in all areas of your life. This is the scripture the proceeds Mal 3:8

7Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

It is about returning to God, to KNOW GOD. The verses following 3:8 is another give away that this has nothing to do with giving a man made church, temple, or ministry your money.

10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

We see here, the TITHE is MEAT. Later I will go into more detail about what this meat is… But for those who are literally tithing right now, they must have sincire milk first. As meat makes babies sick, MEAT is a deep revelation of God… but I digress.

Let’s continue with the BLIND GUIDES, who will also make bold claims that once we TITHE, OFFER, ETC… That God will open the Heavens and pour down money and blessings into our lives.

It’s a “YOU GOT TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT” mentality.

And for those who know no better, this sounds pretty awesome. They believe every word their Religious leader speaks and ignorantly follow, ending in a bigger ditch than they were trying to crawl out of.

Seroiusly though, why wouldn’t they listen and do as told. These BLIND GUIDES are supposed to represent God ON EARTH… So their congregants swallow their devious teachings, hook, line, and sinker.

They so believe that if they do not give 10 percent of their checks each week that they will be blessed, or cursed if they don’t, that they even teach this hogwash to their friends.

Now here is where the problem is (Financially, not even about to touch the spiritual problem).

Most people today are suffering financially. Many have lost their homes, jobs, and more. The debt in many people’s life is mounting, while their Blind Guides are shouting, GIVE MORE AND YOU’LL FINALLY BE FREE.

And, for many, instead of putting their money to who and what they OWE, which would be the Godly thing to do, they pay for the golden promise, which is FOOLS GOLD and not Gold at all.

Romans 13:8
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

The good news is, there is a way out. Those who don’t have jobs can find better jobs, those who have lost homes and finances, can find themselves in the green again. But this NEVER comes when a man follows a man down the path of greed. The way out of your misfortune is to first understand, God has placed you in your misfortune. You must learn from it, pray to God to understand and know His Truth no matter what the cost. The sooner you return to God, the sooner your troubles will melt away. These hard times we face have nothing to do with not giving enough money to this guy or that gal, it has everything to do with believing YOU ARE IN CONTROL and not submitting to the UNDERSTANDING that GOD IS IN CONTROL of ALL THINGS.

Now if you are tithing and offering because some Meat-head claims if you do you will be blessed, ask yourself “what is motivating this behavior?” – the answer is LUST AND GREED. It is not about know God, it is about getting more money. So pay off your debt before you go and give some false prophet the money your children need to put food on your table.

We are to OWE NO MAN anything, WE ARE TOLD ALL WE NEED TO DO IS LOVE! We are told to be charitable for sure. But NOWHERE in scripture are we told to give to RELIGIOUS MEN OR WOMEN to help them build their dynasty of disaster with your God given and hard earned money. Yes, this is a snare that the Father has laid at all our feet, one I fell victim to as well. GIVE AND GET, they say. Don’t Give and Get hurt.

But now I know, as James knew. That when hard times come it is not because I am not giving a certain man or woman or ministry enough money, it is so God’s perfect work will be completed inside me.

James 1:3-5
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, WANTING NOTHING. 5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Our trials are there for a reason. We are to learn from them, turn to God, trust in God, and WANT NOTHING but God.

Yet, there are many perverse Religious Leaders that will take advantage of people’s misfortune, claiming they have not given enough. They say, “If you sow your seed, if you give more, if you OVER EXTEND YOURSELF in Faith, THEN GOD WILL BLESS YOU.”

They don’t turn the congregation that blindly follows them to the truth. They itch their ears and make grand promises of reward, IF ONLY THEY GIVE MORE.

Meanwhile, people are doing so ignorantly and yet nothing, NOTHING comes of it. Most find more hardship, more suffering, more poverty.

You see “Church”, God’s creation is being raped by these blind guides, and most keep coming back for more, to give more, with the greedy hope more will come their way.

However, God has not asked you or me to give a nickel to a man made church, no… God doesn’t want us to put our faith in MONEY or put Money toward our faith. We should NEVER be motivated by MONEY. So why, is MONEY, PROSPERITY, so prevalent in the Man Made religions of the world today, you ask?

The answer: TO MAKE THE FAT CATS FATTER.

That is the only reason, this nonsense teaching exists. It is there to BUILD UP BABYLON, bigger, and stronger than before.

Now of course not all Man Made churches/temples are greedy and perverse. There are many that wait on God, led of God, and don’t rely on Man for their provision. And it is good to support those honest ministries that are making a difference in the world. And that difference, if you have ears to hear it, is not about LITERAL WIDOWS AND ORPHANS (Although you should help them literally) but this is an allegory.

The WIDOW is one whose HUSBAND (CHRIST) is dead.
The ORPHAN is one who has no Father (God)

These are the widows and orphans we are to care for. And there are MULTITUDES OF THEM.

Without charity, you are a lame duck for sure… But if you buy the gospel and sell the gospel, like most churches, especially in Christianity, then you are the very WIDOW AND ORPHAN, the SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD must minister to.

But back to our BLIND GUIDES, you see these so-called “annointed” Men or Women, who say, “God has given them a vision of a bigger building, a school, university, etc. etc…” Are fools in their own carnal minds. They simply are lusting after power, glory, etc. Looking at those big name Pastors, and wanting what they have. As if the BROAD WAY is the way into the Kingdom.

Jeremiah 9:14
But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

You see, even these BLIND GUIDES were taught this nonsense as well. They look at the Blessings of God by how many members their congregation holds, by how big their church is, by how many stations carry their programs. They follow after BAALIM, its all about following after the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR and not ALMIGHTY GOD.

So, they teach the same as they were taught. And those people who are hurting, suffering financially and more, believe them. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have more than a nickel to rub together, they will give that nickel and rub no more to follow that erroneous promise their BLIND GUIDE put before them. They will give more ignorantly, putting themselves in more debt and creating more heartache down the road, AS THE GAMBLER DOES AT THE CASINO.

You are all addicts TITHERS!

Now, I know many churches are fair and help the misfortunate. Yes, many churches out there do not manipulate their flocks with lies about “GIVING TO GET”. Many churches do not even believe such a thing is necessary. There are Men and Women of God out there that knows God is their provider. They don’t need to use fear tactics or to prey off mankinds carnal “want for more” to get more money themselves. And if the Lord has blessed you with such teachers, you should absolutely help hold up their arms, (WHEN YOU CAN)… You should NEVER give more than you have.

The woman that so many talk about in scripture, who threw in ALL SHE HAD IN THE WORLD… is the perfect picture of what we must do as well… She didn’t throw in more than she had. She didn’t have an AMEX or VISA, Mortgage of Home Equity line. She threw in her all for her want to know God, she threw in HER LIVING. Her whole LIFE was put into God’s hands.

This is not true however for a majority in the RELIGIOUS FAITHS of the world. They don’t teach to give their ALL to God. Which means, their minds, hearts and souls… No, if they were to do that, their congregants would wake up and understand God doesn’t need their money to feed some man made building somewhere that claims God’s truth.

No, these BLIND GUIDES have many forms of manipulating a congregant to get them to “ANTE UP” (a gambling term meaning to place your bet) … If it is not simply sermons teaching how blessed everyone can be if give to the RELIGIOUS LEADERS CHURCH, it is having everyone come up front and place their TITHES at the altar. (When you do not come up, Pastor and the other Congregants know) Oh the shame of that, huh?

Or, it can be the shame of having a basket shoved in front of your face each and every Sunday, as was the case in my childhood church. Using Shame and Manipulation and Fear tactics, and Promises of future riches and blessings as their bait, the multitudes line up to feed their, and their Blind Guides, greed.

The question everyone should be asking is HOW IS GOD BLESSED by you giving money to your local church?

Keeping in mind ONE THING, there is but ONE TRUTH. So if your particular church isn’t teaching that ONE TRUTH, than really your money isn’t going to help spread the Gospel (as they always say) is it.

Consider this, there is ONE TRUTH while there are hundreds, if not thousands, of denominations in the Faiths of the world.

In the Christian Faith Alone, we see many, many, divisions. Even though we know there is ONE GOD, one truth, One Spirit, One way… and we are told NOT TO HAVE DIVISIONS among us.

Why with so much division is there always the same TITHING going on. They can’t all have the TRUTH if NONE are like minded and agree on the ONE TRUTH. But they all want that money don’t they?

1 Corinthians 1:10
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Well, we have not heeded this advice, have we? Here are a just a few DIVISIONS among the Christian Faith… Baptist, Pentecostal, Catholic, Lutheran, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, Church of Christ, Apostolic, Non-denominational, Trinitarian, Nazarene, shoot the list goes on and on.
Why are there so many divisions, you ask?

Because MAN WANTS TO BE GOD!(See my article on the TOWER OF BABEL) –

Man wants to be God. So he creates his own laws, beliefs, traditions, creeds, doctrines, etc, etc. He then declares that any OTHER RELIGION or FAITH is absolutely wrong.

Go ahead and ask any Pastor if any of other faiths or the world have the Truth, they will say NO.

Each of the above Faiths, and that is just a few, differ on so many fundamental principles and beliefs it’s hard to keep track. But they all AGREE on TITHING AND OFFERINGS, isn’t that ironic?

When it comes to the Things of God, man cannot agree, but Man can agree on MONEY! Because they all want that ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. And they want GOD’S name written right on it. Each of these many divisions require, in one way or another, their members to Tithe, give Offerings, service, etc. And then each of these DIVISIONS will state that the church member’s tithing, or offering, is NOT going to them, but to God, to further the Kingdom.

But that isn’t true, is it? Especially since all of them cannot be right. So common sense dictates that at the very least 99.9999 percent of the Religious Denominations out there are WRONG.

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

So if your local church is in Error then who are you REALLY GIVING TO?

Let me answer that for you, you are buying a lie, instead of understanding that the TRUTH is freely given and never sold. You want to know where your hard earned dollars go? You want to know where this money goes, when you give it to your Blind Guides instead of paying off those you owe, mortgage, car, debt, etc. (which is the Godly thing to do – to give money first to those you owe instead of giving to religion because so Blind Guide tells you so.)

Well let me show you where your money is going. In some cases, it is to purchase big name Pastors, Jets, Fancy Cars, Mansions, etc, etc, which they of course will look everyone straight in the eye and say these things are necessary. That they are “good stewards” of your partnership or contribution, while turning around and using the jet to go on their personal vacation, and having their own homes paid for BY YOU, the very person who is struggling to make payments on your own.

YES all of our tithes and offerings have afforded these misguided BLIND GUIDES leaders the very lap of luxury they exist in. While many of their members have NOTHING.

And when is enough, enough. Do we really need to have a skatepark, a college, a hospital, a bookstore, coffee shop, etc. etc… Religion and these Churches resemble a marketplace more and more every day, don’t they?

Now, before I go into what GOD REALLY WANTS OF US, and what a TITHE truly is, I want to first point how despicable and offensive many of these teachings are.

BIG LIE #1: the Blind Guides say, YOU MUST GIVE TO GET! (greed) When the Kingdom is FREE, and we are FREELY CO-HEIRS of ALL IN CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 2:12 – Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

BIG LIE #2: If you Give GOD MUST BLESS YOU!

Romans 9:15-17 – 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

BIG LIE #3: Without your Tithe and Offering the Gospel will not be spread. That we must tell the world about God, and our MONEY makes the way for that to happen.

Hebrews 8:10, 11
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

BIG LIES #4 : That YOU must SOW YOUR SEED. But they mean MONEY, FINANCES, PROPERTY, WILL, ETC. (But the SEED is the Word of God is it not?)

Luke 8:5 and 11
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it… 11Now the parable is this: The SEED is the WORD OF GOD.

Every single aspect of what is taught today in many Christian circles is such manipulation and such a lie, that it stinks up to high Heaven. Hosea Chapter Six puts it beautifully.

Hosea 6: 6For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 7But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me…. 9And as troops of ROBBERS wait for a man, so the company of PRIESTS MURDER IN THE WAY BY CONSENT: for they commit lewdness. 10I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

The RELIGIOUS LEADERS today are very much like SIMON THE MAGICIAN.

Acts 8:9 -But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

They have bewitched the people, and sold them a LIE that they demand be LITERALLY PAID FOR. But watch how the Apostles dealt with such thinking. Simon believed he could, BUY the BLESSING AND ANNOINTING. (The very message shouted from almost every pulpit and altar today)

Acts 8:19 – Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

As Peter said to SIMON, if you think your MONEY, or FINANCIAL blessing to your local church, tv station, radio, ministry, temple, etc is in anyway going to help you enter the kingdom, and open the doors of your life for riches and more… THEN YOU ARE LOST AND NOT RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. (understanding of God)

God doesn’t need your money people. YOUR MONEY is the very enemy of God. For it is, unfortunately the only thing most of us put our faith in. And to have the mind set that if you do this or that, you will enter in, you will be sadly mistaken. For the Gift of God is free and CANNOT BE PURCHASED.

All your tithes are offerings are doing is further fueling the ERROR that spreads across the land. And that has made captives of God’s creation. It fuels man’s greed and need for more, and it steals the kingdom away from each and everyone of those, who ignorantly do what these blind guides tell them to do. This is the very Babylon we are told to flee from.

I am tired of seeing people who are in debt, give to their so-called church as a gambler would do when buying that lottery ticket.

All you need to do is turn on any Christian Television Station during its Marathon of Giving, when they call upon all the big names Pastors (for a price) to come on the air and CONVINCE those watching that they NEED TO GIVE or ELSE!

They make bold proclamations, like… “You want a breakthrough, give! You want your kids off drugs, give! You want that new house, new car, new iphone, GIVE!”

Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Now what’s interesting about this in the King James, is it makes it seem as though, you are SUPPOSED to pay TITHES. But clearly, they were doing this, they did not leave the “other undone”. Instantly I knew this is a mistranslation, so I went to my YOUNGS LITERAL… and here is how it reads.

Matthew 23:23
`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law — the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved [you] to do, and those not to neglect.

Clearly, we see here, Matthew is teaching FORGET YOUR TITHING, you need to SOLELY focus on kindness, judgment (understanding), and the FAITH… This is what we MUST DO and we are NOT TO NEGLECT THIS!

Never the less, these Blind Guides will not. No, they will take scriptures and twist them and twist them, until, if it be possible, even a wise child of God could be fooled. This is ITCHING EARS to SHAKE COIN from the pockets of those listening. “YOU GOT TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT!”

Titus 1:11
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

Today, I hopefully will help many of you to come out of this VAIN and Devastating teaching… First I want to state, if you love your Church and want to support your church for the service they provide, do that… I in no way want to discourage people from giving to something that blesses them, I DO HOWEVER, want to put an end to the myth, that God somehow NEEDS YOUR MONEY and not you’re MIND AND HEART. Just know your money is going to your Sunday escape, not God. Like your money would go to a movie. Whenever I go to a Church that has daycare, I pay what I believe it would cost to have a babysitter for an hour and a half… I do this not to and for God, for I know God could care less about that. He cares that I reach out to those he sends my way, when he prompts me, he cares that I GIVE GOD MY ALL, not just an hour over the weekend.

In fact, men and women of God are instructed to NEVER to have dealings with money.

1 Peter 5:2
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

We are NOT meant to PREACH the Gospel, for PROFIT. No, we are to BUY (acquire, gain) it and SELL it not.

Proverbs 23:23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

In the Hebrew, the word BUY means “to get, acquire, create, buy, possess.” It doesn’t mean you go out there and lay out some money, AS some Blind Guides would say. It means you Must GET IT, POSSESS IT, BUY INTO IT (an expression, meaning to be SOLD OUT FOR THE TRUTH) – BUYING the TRUTH, has NOTHING to do with the exchange of MONIES.

However, the word SELL in the HEBREW LITERALLY means “TO SELL”

Here we see, that the TRUTH must be acquired by us, and NEVER SOLD LITERALLY! Which is exactly what happens when a Pastor, Priest, Rabbi, Iman, Guru, etc, says you HAVE TO PAY TRIBUTE, TITHES, OFFERINGS etc…

In Fact many Temples, will not even let you enter in, without paying your tribute, or Temple Tax, or offering. They keep track. You have to PAY to get in.

Just now, I took a short break from this article to relax a bit and watch some TV and I just returned.

Ironically, during that time, I turned on TV to a Channel with a very familiar face to this “prosperity message” of sowing money to reap fortune.

I watched his message, it was the exact same message I have heard from this man, time, and time before. Like the same terrible track or song you replay again and again for those who have no taste for music.

This man goes through about a half an hour teaching enticing the listener, that it is in YOUR POWER to be WEALTHY, and that we are ONE PERSON away from it. He says, “No matter what your circumstances, no matter where you are” – God can bring you fortune when you step out in faith. He went on to brag about how he bumped into a famous soccer player, who had read his books and handed him bundles of money.

This Blind Guide laughed, he wondered how he would now get onto the plane with all that cash without looking like a drug dealer.

Well there is the truth finally spoken by this man. He subconsciously admitted that he is a DRUG DEALER of sorts. However, the drug that he sells is called PRIDE, LUST, AND GREED. And he has addicted the masses with his manipulative words. And while most of those who “sow into his nonsense” grow poorer and poorer, he grows fatter and fatter with the money he Robbed from them, with his lying tongue.

Is not this what drug dealers do? Entice you that whatever they are selling will make you feel better, give you a better life? Then they hook you and at first you feel great because you believe that this is the answer you’ve been waiting for. But soon your life continues to get worse. So you go back to the dealer and he says, YOU NEED TO GET MORE of WHAT IM SELLING, so the drug addict does it again. Once again, for awhile it feels good, but things once again get worse.

Then one day the drug addict wakes up, broke, lost, alone, and without any MONEY TO GIVE THE DEALER. So he goes to the DEALER who was ONCE SO FRIENDLY to him, and instead of helping give this poor addict what he needs to survive, he says, YOU HAVEN’T GIVEN ME ENOUGH. And IF YOU DON’T GIVE ME THIS MONEY I can’t help you.

Well isn’t this the very thing this Fat Cat Ministry Gun For Hire is doing? Hooking the masses on the promise of fame, fortune, and health if ONLY they BUY into what he is selling. If you allow the Spirit to wake you out of your sleep, you will be sickened by this.

Matthew 21:13
And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

It’s time to take the carpet out from these ministries. Don’t let your faith be found in a MARKETPLACE where things are bought and sold.

The TRUTH (Christ) will turn over these false beliefs, and kicks out all of the money changers, sellers of sacrificea, and false teaching from your heart, as he literally tore up the temple of God.

Church has become big business. Jesus is the product, Manipulation is the sales approach, and you are its captive.

So the question is where are we to store our TREASURES? Should we Tithe? What is the Tithe etc… Let’s find out as I wrap this up.

Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

The KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is within you! This is the TITHE GOD wants. He wants us to know the TRUTH and then share it with the world.

He doesn’t want BLIND SHEEP (ignorant congregants) to be presented, or Lame goats (useless believers) to be given as sacrifice… HE WANTS SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD.

Leviticus 22:22
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.

Our offering to God, is the charity and hope we have in our hearts and we have given FREELY to those around us, so they too can boldy enter in HEALTHY AND WHOLE. Not sick, lame, and ignorant like the so-called body of Christ today.

SO what is the TITHE GOD WANTS? Well first of all, it means Ten, or Tenth. (This is the remnant of believers, God is looking for.)

Leviticus 27:32
And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

The HERD is US PEOPLE… We are the FLOCK, and only a TENTH of what passes under that ROD (AUTHORITY/CORRECTION OF GOD) shall be HOLY…

News flash people, MONEY can NEVER BE HOLY.

Malachi 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be MEAT in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

God wants MEAT IN HIS HOUSE. Not money. We are GOD’S HOUSE. “Know you not that you are the Temple of God”… And MEAT is NOT literal steak, it is a deeper understanding of God’s truth. This is why we STORE UP YOUR TREASURE IN HEAVEN, not in SOME LOCAL CHURCH. And WHERE IS HEAVEN?… IN YOU! The tithe that God desires is our ALL, our HEART, So there may be MEAT in his house.

Hebrews 5
14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

This is the TITHE PEOPLE! To know the difference between good and evil, to be mature in the Truth. To be OF FULL AGE. Not to be writing a check that will probably bounce, to look good to your fellow congregants.

Leviticus 27:30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s: it is holy unto the LORD.

We are the LAND, the SEED (word of God) that is produced in our hearts, the fruit of the spirit is the LORDS, it is HOLY UNTO THE LORD. –Money is not holy.

Deuteronomy 14:22
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

Our SEED is the WORD OF GOD, we are the FIELD (see the parable of the SOWER) And year after year, there must be an increase in our understanding, we must store up our TREASURE IN HEAVEN within, and share this truth with others. So the FIELD (the world) will bring the same forth.

Matthew 23:23
`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law — the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved [you] to do, and those not to neglect.

Amos 4:4
Enter ye Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in every morning your sacrifices, Every third year your tithes.

Our sacrifices that we bring in, is NOT MONEY, it is the letting go of our transgressions… read that line above. We need only sacrifice what is NOT OF GOD, and every THIRD YEAR (symbolic of resurrection and rebirth) our TITHE.

Deuteronomy 14:28
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

Look at where we LAY UP our TITHE, it is WITHIN OUR GATES (our understanding)

God doesn’t want of need our money, property, etc, people, he wants our HEARTS!

Look Jesus understood this. He said…

Matthew 17:25 – He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

Everything in this world is FREE to us, yet Mankind has claimed what is not his, his and declared we must purchase it. Today, we have to pay for our water, Tv, Radio soon, what’s next the air?

But the only thing worse than all that, is MANKIND teaches those who want to know God, that they must BUY THEIR WAY IN… and promising they will be blessed because of it.

To me, that sounds like these ministries don’t have faith. If they had faith, they would not even mention such a terrible erroneous teaching, and seek God, and allow God to provide.

I dare say, we all should put this theory to the test. STOP YOUR IGNORANT TITHING AND OFFERING. Give charitably when God inspires you, give to those that need it, and leave the man made church alone.

Show up and hold back your check… and if enough do this, soon we will see if that Church be of God or not. For God will always provide.

If you want to know THE REAL OFFERING GOD WANTS from you… One need look no further than….

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God— this is your spiritual act of worship.

Jesus, did not Tithe or Offer anything monetary, he said “A body have I prepared” – This is our TITHE.

Some have said we use about ten percent of our brain. Most studies show this is not necessarily true. But I like the idea of us, giving God the TEN PERCENT of the brain we “Think” we are in control of, and we finally REST from our works.

And isn’t TITHING a WORK? Isn’t it our way of saying, look God, look at how much I give you?

Don’t be like the PROUD RELIGIOUS MAN…

Luke 18:12-14 – I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Be like the Publican, realize there is nothing you can do to win favor with God, and you will be justified!

Be like the humble sinner, who knows he can do nothing, give nothing, all he can do is RECIEVE!

God gave SAUL into his Hand, and David did nothing. He knew Saul would fall, as I know Babylon will fall, with all its lies and perversions.

I simply pray that if you have been guilted into believing you must give to your church or ministry and you are doing this with the wrong motives, that you understand these are nothing more than links of a great heavy chain keeping you and your family bound.

Here are a couple of more scripture to consider. THESE ARE THE TITHES AND OFFERINGS AND SACRAFICE GOD REQUIRES OF US!

1 Samuel 15:22 But Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

Hebrews 13:15-16 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise— the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Colossians 1:10 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

And finally, please read this last passage very carefully. And START PAYING YOUR DEBT OFF ALREADY WILL YOU! There is a reason, the word “DEAD”BEAT is used for those who do not honor their debts.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. Then I said, `Here I am, I have come– it is written about me in the scroll. I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.'”

So keep your money, and give God and others YOUR HEART!

CRY, CRY – A POEM and SONG

March 11, 2010August 19, 2011Jacob Israel5 Comments

Before you read this poem, if you want take the time and listen to this original song I wrote. The music was by Eddie Coronado, a man who would have done a much better job singing, but I wanted to sing it because this was ten years ago, and I wanted desperately to know God. I didn’t want to know Man’s God, I wanted the TRUTH, I wanted to be set free, and you can hear that in my voice eight years ago. Well the good news is God delivered and each day I learn more and let go of more, and now I am so grateful for where I am, because you can hear in this song, where spiritually I was. Enjoy “NEW MAN” and then enjoy “CRY, CRY” A poem I wrote awhile ago after looking at a group of people who I knew hadn’t been blessed with what I had been blessed with.

CLICK to listen to “NEW MAN”

CRY, CRY – a poem

Cry, Cry my precious child.
The labor was long and hard, but mild, compared to what will follow.

Giants surround you, madness in your ear
The warmth of yesterday gone, it is cold, cold in the delivery room of this world out here.
Helpless, hopeless, a new name whispered in your ear.
Chains will soon hold you, others words, thoughts and fears.
Cry, cry my precious child the beginning of your suffering is here.

Crawl, and eat, stomp your feet, no one understands you and no one ever will.
Learn your words, mind your tongue, make the grade, play with guns, call it fun, war and prejudice, and mocking hate, is what the animals are after.

Red and blue, never pink, wear what you are told boy, never think.
Do as I say, not as I do, watch me, learn from me, be as lost as I am too.

Cry, cry my precious child you have forgotten who are.
Dust, dust at your feet, lies, imagination, with a smile you greet.
My name is so and so, that is who I am.
I am rich, I am poor, I am insecure.
I am the past, not the first or the last.
I am my pain, hear me complain, I am all my want for more.

Cry, cry my precious child, be what the world wants you to be,
A rebel, a lawyer, a doctor, but never free.
Can’t you see, if only you have what others have, if only you were he or she, then you’d be happy, the very thing you pretend to be.

They will promise no more pain, no more worry or dread. They will say, each and every day, “If you only be, or do, what others have said then you’ll be alive for the first time, not pretending to be alive while wanting to be dead.”

Cry, cry my pressure child, welcome to world of the fallen.
Bills no thrills, debt, forget, all your hopes and dreams.
Glimpses of beauty and peace surrounded by all the filth you see.
Always looking, hungry still, nothing in this world seems to fill, the void in your heart empty until, you understand that you were never broken.

Cry, cry my precious child for this you were born, only to die.
Flower of field, tender, mild, whose beauty only lasts for a moment.

The weeds of deeds, strangled with greed, the need to feed those who lead all the ignorant passengers down the path to destruction.

They’ll say, “Get in line, mind your time, soon you’ll retire fat and fine and your life will be forgotten.”

Cry, cry my precious child, silence the rumble jumble of your mind, listen to your father’s instruction.
You can change, rearrange, you can build, tear down, go where you want to go.
You’re in control, that’s your role, but few will find this I know.
Few understand you reap what you sow. Few will learn that their pain is there to help them grow, as the flowers are helped by the manure you throw.

This is why… we all cry… when we are born not when we die.
Because we fear, the truth of who we are, the TRUTH we hold so dear, will be forgotten for the lie.
So if you have ears to hear, or eyes to see. Remember the next time you cry that you can be free.

Without the darkness you’d would never leave it for the LIGHT.
The Caterpillar doesn’t become the butterfly without the fight.
The hope is within you, it isn’t coming from far away as some would say, your faith should not be in anything outside.
So this is why you need not cry, because the Hope of Glory is Christ Inside.

You forgot this the moment you died in that delivery room when you first cried.
