When He Appears The Second Time
"The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of
all the nations; and all the ends of the
earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean,
that bear the vessels of the Lord."
Who are the “vessels of the Lord”? What will the “salvation of our God” look
like?
If Paul had told his fellow brethren “know how to
possess your vessel in sanctification and honor” in 1 Thessalonians 4:4, then the
“vessels of the Lord” in Isaiah 52 above, and the “vessels of the house of God”
in Ezra 1:8 are those of the other
sons of men chosen to be the “bearers of burdens” in 2 Chronicles 2:8.
Among those who were shown “the Word of God” was
Saul in 1 Samuel 9:27. Among those who would “bear my Name” as Jesus
said to Ananias, was Saul, who became “Paul of Tarsus” in Acts 9:15.
When Moses was still in the Wilderness with all of
Israel, he was given this warning concerning he who had God’s name within him:
"Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee
in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
But if thou
shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy
unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries."
So who is the angel who will go before us, whom we
should not provoke? Who is he that will
not pardon transgressions because God’s name is “In Him”?
The one unpardonable sin, the sin not forgiven in
this life nor the next is that of the blaspheme of the Holy Ghost:
"Verily I say
unto you, All sins shall be forgiven
unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall
blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. Because
they said, He hath an unclean spirit."
The danger in blaspheming the Holy Ghost is
permanent damnation. Explained is what
that “blaspheme” means: “Because they said he hath and unclean spirit”. Therefore it would be prudent to abstain from
loosely accusing that which you know not; because we are coming to the end,
this is rather an urgent warning of an unrecoverable risk.
An interesting discussion is taking place between
myself and several members of a church.
The discussion began with the subject of “the Book of the Law” and I had
posted some verses. This is what I had
said on the subject:
How
Jesus Bears Our Iniquities:
Interesting
in my own studies, God lead me through scripture: "What is the Book of the
Law"? It's different than the Ten Commandments even though the Book of the
law consists of them. It's deeper than scrolls full of do's and dont's - SEE:
Deuteronomy 31:26 - "Take this
book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord
your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee."
Where
was Jesus pierced?
John 19:34 - "But one of the
soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and
water."
What
are two of the three witnesses IN the earth that agree as one?
1 John 5:8 - "And there are
three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and
these three agree in one."
The
Spirit is Life - Romans 8:10; and "The Life of
the flesh is in . . . IN the blood thereof" - Leviticus 17:11 - The third witness
in the earth that "agree as one" with the other two is IN THE BLOOD.
The
"Book of the Law" is not Jewish or Oral law: The books of Moses
DESCRIBE it but it is not the law with which all creation is written . . . it
is inside us, right where Jesus said the Kingdom of God is:
Luke 17:21 - "Neither shall
they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within
you."
God
dwells not in temples made with hands:
Acts 17:24 - "God that made
the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth,
dwelleth not in temples made with hands;"
Now
read the book of Daniel again as Jesus suggested in Matthew 24:15 - "When ye therefore
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)"
The
temple with the abomination is NOT A BUILDING.
Jesus
was tempted by the devil in the wilderness. In Luke 4:5-7, He offers Jesus all the
kingdoms of the world if Jesus will worship him. He already has the things of
this world. The devil is not after a temple BUILDING. He's after the kingdom of
God - as the Lord revealed in Isaiah 14:
Isaiah 14:12-14 - "12 How art
thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13. For thou hast said in thine
heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
north: 14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the
most High."
The
devil wants the THRONE of God where Jesus now sits: Where the "morning
star" is.
What
did Jesus tell us is the ONLY WAY to the Father?
John 14:6 - "Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me."
This
is the devil's last chance to get to the kingdom.
See
The book of Jude 1:9 - It has been attempted
before:
Jude 1:9 - "Yet Michael the
archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke
thee."
Revealed
is he who withholds, the Ark of the Covenant, the "ARCH-Angel" (a vault/roof), the
only Archangel named in the Bible. The "Arch/Ark" is a protecting vessel! Read in scripture: "vessel/house/temple/" - Solomon built
"a house for the name of the lord" - 2 Chronicles 6:10
Now
you know what withholdeth . . . and he that letteth will let until he is taken
out of the way 2 Thessalonians 2 - and that evil is
revealed whom the Lord will consume with the Spirit of his mouth and destroy
with the brightness of his coming.
He
that is taken out of the way is is the man child "caught up to God and to
his throne" before the dragon can devour him - Revelation 12:1-5.
Michael
the Archangel fights the dragon and his angels - the "war in heaven".
Michael
and Jesus are the same:
1 Thessalonians 4:16 - "For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise
first:"
Michael
and Jesus are the Same:
Daniel 12:1 - "And at that
time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children
of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since
there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."
The
Scripture of Truth - "There is none that hold with me in these things
except Michael, your Prince . . . " - Daniel 10:21
We
are told these things for a reason. Jesus stresses understanding of the
prophecies of Daniel. Daniel is told that Michael is with the Princes of
Persia, fighting and he is "the only one" that holds" with the
angel who visited Daniel. Why was Daniel told this . . . was there a reason the
world would question "Michael's" purpose? Because Michael "your prince" is the "prince of the covenant" who's sanctuary of strength is polluted.- - and he is also the sanctuary that is
cleansed in 2,300 days.
Jesus
was "made to be sin who knew no sin" - 2 Corinthians 5:21
Jesus
"redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us" - Galatians 3:13
God
tells us how He planned this in Haggai 2 and Zechariah chapters 4 and 5.
Ezekiel 42 reveals the building of the
"temple" with the separate place" between the sanctuary and the
profane place - Ezekiel 42:20
It
is all there in scripture, NOT in man-interpreted concordances. Scripture
interprets scripture. The Holy Ghost reveals where to find them and
"teaches us all things".
It
was revealed to me what the abomination is, whose vessel it would be entered
into, and who the son of man is. Everything has to do with the Word of God
within us - the ONE WORD that fulfills ALL THE LAW, which Christ Jesus was in
the flesh when he was among us.
Read
these scriptures and the rest of HIS story comes together in the scriptures.
Once that WORD is revealed to you, you will know what it is they are trying to
destroy in us, to "make themselves a name" in place of God's - since
the building of the tower to heaven in Babel.
They
changed the language to hide His Name. "His name is called The Word Of
God" - Revelation 19:13;
"Who
changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshiped the creature more than the
creator" - Romans 1:25 - SEE - - - -
Look
at the Aleph - They changed it during the Babylonian Exile - Aleph/Ayin - The
Aleph represents . . . "the Ox?" That they worshipped in the
wilderness after the bondage of Egypt?
He
said: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
last." - Revelation 22:13
There
is only one word that describes the Father that resembles Romans 1:25, John 1:14, Revelation 19:13 and Revelation 22:13.
Jesus
says it once, Paul says it twice.
God
bless you and get to work.
Out of all the scripture I posted the roadblock
they couldn’t get past was the name “Michael Jackson”, because they had seen my
writings here. In truth, would someone tell me the things I have written on this blog about him ten years ago, I
too would have been uncommitted to the suggestion. Every struggle with the subject has been laid
open for all to read, and I had written in reply “I have hidden nothing”.
So I’m caught in the strait: Is it God’s job to
declare him to the hearts of those I converse with, or do I appear to be shamed
to commit to that which God showed me?
For what did Isaiah say?
"He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for
he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken."
And what did Paul say in the Acts of the Apostles?
"The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as
a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he
not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall
declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
And the eunuch
answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of
himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the
same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."
In Isaiah’s time, the name of Jesus was not known
to flesh; and in Acts, Peter knew the name of Jesus.
In Isaiah’s time, it was not known to flesh that
Jesus would not be buried with the wicked and the rich in his death; and Jesus
was not, but buried alone in a virgin sepulcher in a cave owned by Joseph of
Arimathea. Jesus life was taken from
the earth, but his life was not prolonged in the flesh as it says in Isaiah 53:10.
If we read the prophecies through the eyes of
flesh, it will not be understood. This
why Jesus tells his disciples that the Comforter, the Holy Ghost teaches us all
things. This is also why Paul explains
in Romans 11:7 that Israel had not
obtained that which he seeks, but the election has obtained it and the rest
were blinded”.
Somewhere along the line during the tribulation
the elect will be touched with the Spirit of Truth. That which is birthed in travail will be
taught and even as most of the multitude will be deceived in the world; they
will hear the truth in the utmost parts of the world.
The battle between the flesh and the spirit takes
place in each one of us. The purpose of
tribulation is to draw closer to God and this is impossible without knowing
Christ and Christ is the love of God in the flesh.
If we look upon scripture with eyes veiled by
flesh, we see only as a chronology of events as told through the prophets in
time. Through the Spirit of God we see
not the order of events so much as the repeat of history not learned. We see a time as the Gatherer saw it in
Ecclesiastes instead of calendar. We see
it as the angel who could cross back and forth as he did for Daniel to explain
the time of the end from which he came in Daniel 10:20.
Once we understand that time is subject to God and
not the other way around, we can comprehend that God sees time as its
whole. The vessels of God are just that,
vessels. They are not permanent
forms. Jesus was given a name above all
names. That name is called “the Word of
God”, regardless of what form he takes in any portion of time.
The Redeeming Angel and Christ
The “angel” that goes before us and the “Lord”
that goes before us are one in the same.
The “Angel of the Lord” is a “vessel of the Lord”. Paul also explains this in the first letter
to the Corinthians:
"All flesh is not
the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts,
another of fishes, and another of birds.
There are also celestial bodies,
and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the
glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one
glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory."
What does Paul mean by this? Each “body” is for one glory and differs from
the glory of another. The same is said
for Elijah and John the Baptist; and for Jesus and for the archangel
Michael. Their names given reflect their
purpose, but in Spirit they are one because they are of God’s Spirit.
“God is one” said the prophets of Deuteronomy, Mark and Galatians.
Jesus and the concept of “one” in his prayer in
the garden of Gethsemane:
"And now I am no
more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father,
keep through thine own name those
whom thou hast given me, that they may
be one, as we are."
"And the glory
which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one:"
Michael and Jesus are one. Michael and Jesus are both vessels for the
Word of God. We are told by Isaac
himself blessing Joseph in Genesis 48 mentioned the angel that
redeemed him from all evil. Isaiah also
preached about the angel of redemption:
"For he said,
Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in
his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried
them all the days of old."
Time is for Flesh, Not Spirit
As it is said, time for God is seen from beginning
to end. There are those of old time that
go down into the pit, there is the time to come preached by Jesus himself, and
there are those in between:
"He hath made
every thing beautiful in his time:
also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the
end."
"But when the fulness of the time was come,
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,"
"And sware by him
that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein
are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the
things which are therein, that there
should be time no longer:"
In Revelation it was the great angel that called
for there to be time no longer. Those
already quickened in Psalms 71:20 and 1 Corinthians 15:36 and 45; those that have crossed or passed over in Joshua chapter 3; and those that
have been translated in Hebrews 11:5 and those that have
been caught up to heaven. there are two
anointed in Zechariah 4, but “One” was caught up to God and to his throne as per the scriptures.
Paul mentions the only one he knew caught up to
the third heaven in 2 Corinthians 12:2. He said he did not know whether “in the body or
out of the body”, he "could not tell, only God knows". Aside from this man, the only other mention
of being caught up is in Revelation 12:5 concerning the man
child whom the devil was trying to devour; and those who will be caught up in
the air with those that sleep in the earth in the end times. This is when the son of man returns in his
glory in 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
Remember Paul was the chosen vessel to bear the
name of the Lord, spoken of in Acts 9:15.
So that we understand the difference between
celestial hosts and terrestrial hosts: between that of flesh and Spirit we
understand that “angel” who redeems. He
who was with God in the beginning was with God in Spirit and not flesh. Jesus was the Word made flesh. His name reflects his purpose, “God is
Salvation”.
The name “Michael” means “who is most like
God”. Even if modern interpretations
frame this as a “question” (?), the answer of course is “A Son of God” (Job 38:7, John 1:12), which is
Jesus and also Michael as per Daniel 10:21, Daniel 12:1 and Jude 1:9. Jesus is the only begotten son of God, born of flesh yet conceived of the Holy Ghost - Matthew 1:20.
The Purpose Of The Ark/Arch
We can also determine through scripture that the
only way Jesus could have been “made to be sin for us” without
corrupting the pure blood which would save us is if that “seed” (which is the Word of God,
which is life) is placed in a house made
with unclean hands, but protected, as Moses was in an “Ark” and as Noah
(perfect in his generations) was protected in an “Ark”. The name “Archangel” or rather the title then
explains Michael’s role.
Since Jesus is the “Ark” whose “side” was pierced
from which the three witnesses (the water, the blood and the Spirit/life “in
the blood thereof”) flowed; Michael and Jesus are the same celestial entity,
but with different purposes according to the eyes of the flesh.
The “Prince of the Covenant” from Daniel is broken. His sanctuary is polluted so that the seed
could be planted in cursed ground without so much as touching the seed, which
is the Word of God. An Ark protects
Him. This is also explains the “beast who was,
is not yet is” in Revelation 17.
Sheshbazzar and Zerubbabel
The Flying Roll and the Ephah
Sheshbazzar, governor of Judah laid the foundation
of the temple but did not complete it as of that time. Shesbazzar means “Sin, protect the
Father”. “He was made to be sin for us, who knew no
sin” – 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Zerubbabel means “Sown in Babylon”. Zerubbabel, governor of Judah laid the
foundation of the temple, and his hands would finish it. The “ephah” with the woman called wickedness
is flown by two women with wings of a stork to the land of Shinar – Babylon to
“build it a house” – Zechariah 5:11.
This secret was revealed to Zechariah and recounted
in chapter five: One vessel, two substances; one inside the
other. The ephah with wickedness is
taken to Shinar (Babylon) to build it a house.
The “curse” in verses 1-4 enters the “house” and
will consume it with the stones and the timbers thereof. The “overspreading of abominations” has to
occur for the “curse” to be made “a blessing” said Nehemiah 13:2.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being
made a curse for us” – Galatians 3:13.
Haggai 2 we listen to Haggai tell
Zerubbabel about the house they are building with “unclean hands”. And even though it has not the glory of the
first, God tells him to “be strong and work for I am with you”. How is this possible in a house built with
unclean hands?
There are two tabernacles, Paul said in Hebrews 9. He describes the first tabernacle with the
table, the candlestick and the shewbread called the first tabernacle called the
sanctuary. Beyond the second veil is the
tabernacle called “the holiest of all”. In verse eight Paul said: “The Holy Ghost
signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not made manifest while
the first tabernacle was still standing”.
In Haggai 2:3, the first house is greater glory then
the second, yet in Hebrews 9 Paul says that the first tabernacle it that which
must fall before the way into the “holiest of all” is made manifest. How is this possible?
This is why Jesus told us about the order of the
first and the last:
"So the last shall be first, and the first last:
for many be called, but few chosen."
Through this order, our heavenly Father brought
forth the seed which would cleanse the sanctuary after it had been
polluted. For the flesh, Jesus performs
to roles: that of the pure seed and that of the bearer of iniquities. The pure
seed had to be shed first.
In Spirit Michael is both the Ark/Archangel (he
that withholds) and the polluted sanctuary of strength – That which Isaiah was told that the “kings would shut
their mouths at him; for that which they had not been told they shall see, and
that which they had not heard they would consider”.
Ending The Sacrifice And Oblation
The book of Daniel contains the most condense
detail on the end time prophecies of any other book aside from the Book of
Revelation. For this reason Jesus stresses
understanding of it and remembrance to his disciples. These alerts appear in both Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:13-14 in regard to the
“abomination of desolation”.
In Daniel the “abomination” is mentioned in word three
times. Each time it is in regard
of the taking away of the daily sacrifice.
But the most detail on this occurs in Daniel chapter nine:
"And after threescore
and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,
but not for himself: and the people of
the prince that shall come shall destroy
the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and
unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many
for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the
sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,
even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate."
It is here that we learn that the “prince of the
covenant”, he that is “polluted” and the “Messiah” are the same. The Messiah is “cut off”: He is “taken out of the way”. He is “caught up to God and to his throne”.
The “people of the prince” destroy the city and
the sanctuary. Because of Paul, we know
that the “sanctuary” is the “first tabernacle”.
In Daniel 11:31 the same is the
“sanctuary of strength”. The “one week”
is a “seven” – a “sabbatical” which is one, seven week period. “In the midst” of this week he shall cause
the sacrifice and oblation to cease.
Explained by Paul in Hebrews is the one time that
Christ offers himself in the end of the world to put away sins –
"24 For Christ is
not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the
true; but into heaven itself, now to appear
in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often,
as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of
others;
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation
of the world: but now once in
the end of the world hath he
appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it
is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them
that look for him shall he appear the
second time without sin unto salvation."
Jesus died once to shed his blood, the pure lamb;
and Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many at the end of the
world. We know this is the correct interpretation
because Daniel was told by the angel of the overspreading of the
abomination. Zechariah 5:1-4 confirms it. The parables of the consummation through the
miracle of the feeding of the five thousand by Jesus (twelve baskets of
fragments were collected – Israel sifted in Amos 9:9 – and not a drop was lost,
John 6:12-13).
The beauty of what God is about to do still must
come after the time of trouble like there never was since there was a
nation. The time of trouble is needed to
fulfill the number of them who would die for the Word of God and the Name of
Christ. These are the 144,000 who make
up the measure of a man, that is the angel in Revelation 21:17.
It is also evident that the “thousand year” reign
of peace with Christ on this earth is an erroneous teaching infiltrated into
the church by those seeking to convince believers that the “man of sin, son of
perdition” is the Messiah before the Messiah cleanses the sanctuary and
consumes the corrupted body.
Those that have entered a doctrine of
pre-tribulation rapture are those that seek to keep men in bondage and
themselves in rule over them; the oppressors spoken of in Ecclesiastes.
When the abomination stands, you will know
him. You will see him for what he was,
is not, or is.
Paul told us to wait in 2 Thessalonians 2 and not to go
after him; for the curse will not be made into a blessing until that evil which
is revealed is destroyed with the brightness of his coming.
In Daniel 8:14, he was told “after two
thousand, three hundred days the sanctuary will be cleansed”. You will know it because at that time you
will be cleansed too; because our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel was sent to
Babylon for our sake, the angel that went before us to make straight every
crooked way.
The tribulation will be upon us; indeed the
remnant of Syria already suffer it; and that remnant of Israel who will die for
the Word of God and the Name of Christ has commenced. Find your strength in God and may the truth
in love sustain you through.
Abba, Father; from who the breath of life comes
and who authored the tabernacles at the
beginning and the end, who is the first and the last. He is the greater love which fulfilled all
the law and the prophets when he laid down his life for us. It is that love which is life; and his Holy
Name frames it’s beginning and ending, Amen.
