<p class="MsoNormal">“<i>…Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the
order of Melchizedek.</i>” Heb. 6:20<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is regrettable that many churches and preachers have
virtually put aside the Old Testament. In doing so they have cut themselves off
from revelation that is needed if the Church is to fulfil its mission in the
Earth. Jesus said “You search the scriptures for in them you think you will
find eternal life, and these are they which speak of Me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(John 5:37)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The scriptures He was talking about were the Old Testament scriptures as
obviously the New Testament hadn’t been written then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Old Testament Scriptures were all about Jesus
and we will not come into the depths of the Cross without studying them. They
were a platform set up to enact the Redemption of Man and on centre stage was
Jesus, Son of God. It stands to reason then, that we need to study them closely
in order to grasp fully, what the Cross accomplished. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The text from Hebrews says that Jesus is our Great High
Priest. How can we know what that means for us unless we study the High
Priestly ministry in the Old Testament and how it applies to Jesus? The
Tabernacle of Moses where the Priests ministered is a Type of Christ, “the Word
made flesh who dwelt <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[literally ‘tabernacled’]
among us.”(John1:14) The Amplified Bible renders it ‘fixed His tent of flesh
among us.” God told Moses to build a Tabernacle ‘That I may dwell among them.’ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus came that God may live among us – He is
Emmanuel, God with us. The tabernacle and everything about it spoke of Christ.
Volumes could be written about it; but for now we are just going to look at one
aspect – the garments of the High Priest. God told Moses that these garments
were for ‘beauty and for glory.’ <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Jesus Himself didn’t wear the literal garments of a High
Priest, but those garments were symbolic of Jesus’ ministry. They are given so
we can understand the priestly work of our Saviour. Every detail is important.
The breast plate bore 12 stones, one for each tribe and on each shoulder there
was an onyx stone bearing the name of 6 of the tribes. 12 is the number of
completeness. Thus he represented all Israel. When he appeared before the Lord
he WAS Israel. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even so, Jesus as our Great High Priest represents all
Mankind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When He was ‘about 30 years
old” Jesus began His ministry; 30 being the age when priests entered the
ministry. After a sacrifice was made for him, the candidate for the priesthood
was washed at the Laver by other priests, after which he was clothed with the
white priestly robes.When<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus presented
Himself to John the Baptist of the priestly line, at the River Jordan to be
baptised, He was fulfilling this requirement. The candidate was then clothed with the white priestly garment. When Jesus rose from the Jordan, the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a
dove. This is the priestly garment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before His ascension into Heaven,
Jesus told His disciples to ‘Tarry till ye be endued [clothed] with power from
on high.” The Holy Spirit is our priestly garment without which we cannot enter
the Holy Place in the Temple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being
baptised with the Holy Spirit takes us into a new dimension in Christ, the Holy
Place.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxiH8aZ58iyM0LjRqWwzXN6YZFxkGXGxTX_6o_0Pd3ixK31D3tqNiFelSWKzvGc9YG7IXTamiQBxNKeXAZxILIcm5Ybl9pmXGKAfjjngBDXGALw9PBl-aDPf3pFsjqJKHY5_UFKlQzE1WIgpHEpT6TQFDPd9NjRaQ3vorjtHlgnWhmEhNNh33azg/s724/descent%20of%20the%20Spirit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="724" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCxiH8aZ58iyM0LjRqWwzXN6YZFxkGXGxTX_6o_0Pd3ixK31D3tqNiFelSWKzvGc9YG7IXTamiQBxNKeXAZxILIcm5Ybl9pmXGKAfjjngBDXGALw9PBl-aDPf3pFsjqJKHY5_UFKlQzE1WIgpHEpT6TQFDPd9NjRaQ3vorjtHlgnWhmEhNNh33azg/w320-h218/descent%20of%20the%20Spirit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the River Jordan, as He was immersed in the waters, Jesus
was immersing Himself into all Mankind. As we identify with Him in Baptism, so He
identified with us.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> God deals with all Mankind according to two men – Adam the
1<sup>st</sup> Man and Jesus the 2<sup>nd</sup> Man and the Last Adam.
Sometimes people refer to Him as the 2<sup>nd</sup> Adam but the Bible does not
call Him that, it calls Jesus ‘the Last Adam’. There is a significant
difference. In the last Adam, God wrapped it all up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When Jesus stood before those who judged Him, He represented
all mankind. In Him we were judged crucified and buried. For six hours one
Friday in Jerusalem, the last Adam hung on a Cross bearing the shame of the sin
of all Mankind, till at last He cried, “It is finished,” and gave up His
spirit. Christ’s body bearing our sin was buried. No more Adam! <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">What does that mean for us? All the sins we have committed, all the imperfections in our lives that we have, all of the 'dumb' things we do, is already judged and buried. When the accuser tries to keep us down by constantly reminding us of our failures, we can silence him. Adam is finished! We are a new creation in Christ and His Spirit is in us.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When Adam sinned we all fell with him; and the life giving Spirit of
God departed. All who are born of Adam bear his image and share his fate; even
so all those who by faith in Christ are born again, bear His image and share
His destiny.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the
Lord from heaven. As<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the image of the
man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust, and as is the heavenly
Man, so also are those who are heavenly and as we have borne the image of the
man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.” </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">1 Corinthians 15: 47-49<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Having dealt with sin and buried the 1<sup>st</sup> Man,
Jesus rose as the 2<sup>nd</sup> Man and thus began the New Creation. The Old
Creation began with the creation of the heavens and the Earth and ended with
the creation of Man; the New Creation began with the New Man and ends with the new
heavens and new Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All who put their
trust in Jesus share in His new life. God again breaths into us the Holy Spirit
– the breath of life, and we are one with Him forever. Who He is, we are. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Love has been perfected in us in this: that we may have boldness in

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my interaction with people of prayer and listening to
what prophetic people are saying, a strong Word from the Lord has been coming
through. This Passover is a very significant one. The word is that the virus is
going to be defeated and God’s people are going to rise up in Victory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This really resonates with me and brings
confirmation to the things the Spirit has shown me and that I have written
about in my books.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Passover we have come to is the fulfilment of the Passover
celebrated at the River Jordan. At this Passover, all that was accomplished for
God’s people in the first Passover comes into manifestation and they come into
the fullness of their deliverance. They had wandered in the wilderness for many
years because of unbelief. The wilderness is all about identity. God said ‘Israel
is my Son, my firstborn’ Exodus 4:22; but their faith confession was ‘We’re
only grasshoppers’. Numbers 14.Now after many years in the wilderness, they had
come into the understanding that they were who God said they were and were
going in to possess their Promised Land. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Promised Land for the spiritual Seed of Abraham which is
the Church, [Galatians 3:16,29] is the Earth. [Romans 4:13] It is not Heaven as
we have been led to believe; it is the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in
Heaven. This is what we lost at the Fall; this is what the Cross has purchased.
Jesus destroyed Satan’s authority at the Cross and gave it back to redeemed Man
to exercise in His Name. There are ‘giants of evil and their strongholds in our
inheritance and we are now coming into battle against the enemy for possession
of the Earth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the Type of the Journey to the Promised Land, we have
come to the River Jordan. [Read Joshua chapters 3-6] God’s people were told to
watch the Ark ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">so that you will know
which way to go for you have not passed this way before’.</i> Joshua 3:4. The Church
is going to go beyond where we’ve ever been in history. This is what God has
been working towards since the Fall. The Ark is a type of Jesus; it was to
precede them by about 2,000 cubits. Two thousand years after Jesus came out of
the wilderness and began to bring down the enemy’s strongholds, the Church will
follow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moses [the Law] is dead and Joshua [a type of Jesus] now
leads them. This is where we come out of depending on our own works and focus
on what Christ has done alone. Twelve stones [one for each tribe] were placed
in the Jordan and twelve stones from the Jordan were placed on the other side;
signifying the death of the old and the beginning of the new. At Gilgal they
renewed the covenant with the rite of circumcision and God told them ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This day I have rolled away the reproach of
Egypt from off you.”</i> Joshua 5:9 Circumcision signifies the putting away of
the flesh or old nature. Egypt is a type of the place of bondage. We were in
bondage to sin and death under the rule of the tyrant Satan. God ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">has delivered us from the power of darkness,
and translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son; in whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins;</i>” Colossians 1:13,14
Nothing of the enemy’s hold over us remains and we are truly a new creation in
Christ.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other side, a host of angels were waiting to join
them in the battle. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Church is coming
into Victory “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Christ in you is the hope
of glory</i>” Colossians 1;27. This is the time of the ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">manifestation of the Sons of God’</i> as in Romans 8;19 which will
bring in ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the restoration of all things’</i>.
Acts 3;21. Jesus is going to rise up in power in His Church. There are glorious
days ahead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">DANIEL’S SEVENTY
WEEKS AND THE THIRD TEMPLE. In my last post, I stated that there are two errors
that are shaping much of the end time teaching in our churches. Let’s remember
that Satan is the ‘father of lies’ and is a deceiver. Ever since the
resurrection he has known that his days of control over the earth are coming to
an end. The best he can do is to prolong them. This he does by veiling the eyes
of God’s people to the truth. One of those errors is what is known as ‘Daniel’s
seventieth week’ i.e. that there is a period of seven years that God has
reserved for dealings with the Jews. Christians will be taken out of the Earth
during or before that time. Thus instead of being God’s agents of restoration in
the Earth, many Christians are looking to escape from it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the time
of Daniel, God’s people were in exile in Babylon because of their repeated
rebellion against Him. The angel Gabriel came to Daniel with a message that
gave Israel another chance. They would return to their Land and rebuild their
temple in preparation for Messiah the Prince. The prophecy would commence with a
command to restore Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, known later as the second
temple or Ezra’s temple.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In this prophecy God tells Daniel:-</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“Seventy
weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the
transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to
bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to
anoint the Most Holy.” Daniel 9:24</span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The ‘weeks’ in the prophecy are weeks of
years, so a week is seven years. According to this wrong teaching, only 69
weeks have been fulfilled and there is another week or seven years to go. They
teach that between the 69<sup>th</sup> and 70<sup>th</sup> week, God has
inserted the Church Age. When the Church is ‘raptured’ out, then comes the 70th
‘week’ of God’s dealings with Israel during the great tribulation. They believe
that all the promises contained in vs. 24 have not yet been fulfilled. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Coupled with this idea of a 70<sup>th</sup>
‘week’ yet to come is, what I believe is a MIS-interpretation of Daniel 9:27</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>”<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Then he shall confirm a covenant with many
for one week; </i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">but in the
middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.”</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">This interpretation goes like this: -
‘He’ in the sentence refers to the Antichrist. He makes a peace pact with
Israel. After three and a half years, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘in
the middle of the week</i>,’ he breaks the covenant and stops the sacrifices at
the temple. From this they reason that a third Temple will have been built.
This supposedly happens during the last ‘week’ or seven years of the prophecy
given to Daniel, and will be a time of God’s special dealings with Israel – a
time of great tribulation. Meanwhile Christians will be ‘raptured’ out to
escape the tribulation and there is much speculation about whether this will be
‘pre-trib,’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘mid-trib,’ or ‘post-trib.’
This is the popular end time teaching in many evangelical and Pentecostal
churches. It is a firmly held and rarely questioned belief, passed on from one
generation to the next.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
truth is that the seventy weeks were seventy consecutive weeks as you would
normally expect. If God was intending to insert a long period of at least 2,000
years between the 69<sup>th</sup> and 70<sup>th</sup> week, one would expect
some indication of it in the Scriptures. There is none. The ‘He’ in vs. 27
refers to Christ not the Antichrist. The seventieth ‘week’ was the week which
included Jesus’s ministry. After 3 and a half years of ministry, In the ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">middle of the week</i>,’ Jesus brought an
end to the need for animal sacrifices, by making the one perfect sacrifice for
all time. By His ministry and sacrificial death on the Cross He confirmed or
strengthened the Abrahamic covenant, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ,” </i>(Galatians 3:17) and
in so doing, He fulfilled all the promises contained in vs 24. God has only one
answer for this world’s condition, and that is the Cross of Christ. Anything
that He is going to do was accomplished there. It is a finished work. We just
haven’t understood the full extent of all that the Cross and resurrection has
achieved. In these last days of the Church Age, God will bring revelation on
the finished work of Christ which will cause the Church to rise up in Kingdom
authority.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"></i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Jesus moved with a sense of purpose. He
understood the plan of Redemption and worked within the will of the Father. He
often said, “it is not time yet” or “My time is not yet come,” (e.g. John 7:6),
because He was working to the plan. He said, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.</i>”(Matthew
15:24). When He sent the disciples out He told them to go only to Israel.
(Matthew 10:5:6) That is because the work of redemption had to be first
demonstrated in Israel, the pattern and priestly and prophetic nation. During
that seventieth ‘week,’ Jesus taught the principles of the Kingdom; He was
crucified and resurrected; the Holy Spirit was poured out and the infant Church
established. Then and only then, the word came to take the gospel to the
Gentiles. (Acts 10) and Paul, who was to be the apostle to the Gentiles, was
called and commissioned. The seventy weeks had been completed. There is no
‘seventieth week’ to be yet fulfilled.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">When we see that, we can see that this
teaching which occupies so much of our thinking about the end time is wrong. We
can stop looking for an Antichrist to make and then break a pact with the Jews
and stop watching for the third temple; it is not part of God’s plan. The third
temple as far as God is concerned is the Living Temple which Christ is building
as in Ephesians 2:21:22. The Jews may or may not build another temple but it is
not a marker for a seven year count down to the 2<sup>nd</sup> Coming, preceded
by the ‘Rapture’ pre, or mid ‘trib.’ Jesus is not planning to snatch His people
out of the world but to cause them to rise up in Victory over the forces of
darkness which keep the world in bondage. 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 [the ‘rapture’
scripture] is about the manner of the 2<sup>nd</sup> Coming, when the Church
will be caught up to meet the Lord and escort Him back to the throne.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">God told Daniel that some end time truth
is sealed until the time of the end; (Daniel 12:9) but about 200 years ago,
there were those who went ahead of the Spirit and put together an end time
scenario which doesn’t leave a lot of room for the Holy Spirit to bring
revelation on the real plan of God for the Church. Getting raptured out any
moment may sound exciting but what God really has for the Church is even more
exciting.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Very soon a ‘Joshua’ generation will
arise in the Earth that will bring down the ‘gates of Hell.’ [Mat 16:17,18] This
is what God has been working towards since the promise in the Garden that the
Seed of the Woman will crush the Serpent’s head. (Genesis 3:15).Christ and the
Church is that Seed. This Seed is also the Seed of Abraham which will possess
the gate of his enemies and be a blessing to the whole earth. (Genesis 22:17,
18)(Galatians 3:16, 29) If you belong to Jesus then you are part of this
Overcoming Seed. Jesus has done all the work and is now seated at the Father’s
right hand ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">waiting till His enemies are
made His footstool.’ </i>Hebrews 10:13. That’s our job!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">A generation of the Seed of Abraham and
the Seed of the Woman will rise up to our full potential in Christ. This is ‘Elijah’
that Jesus said would come and ‘restore all things’ before His 2<sup>nd</sup>
Coming. [Matthew 17:11]. In Acts 3:21 it says that the heavens must retain Jesus
“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">until the times of the ‘restoration of
all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since
the world began</i>.” This will happen any time from now to 2027. How I know
that is for another time </span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The days ahead are days of the
restoration of all things which God has been working towards for millennia.
These are exciting times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Christ in you
is the hope of glory.”</span></div>

case of Israel Faleau has brought the rise of hostility against Christianity

battle is the ongoing battle for the inheritance which is depicted in the
struggle between Isaac and Ishmael, sons of Abraham and continued with Jacob
and Esau and on to this day. Abraham has physical heirs through Isaac i.e. the
nation of Israel and spiritual heirs through Jesus i.e. the Church [Galatians
3:29]. The physical heirs were given the Land of Canaan and the inheritance of
the spiritual heirs is the Earth.[Romans 4:13] It is an inheritance that has to
be possessed. The journey to and possession of the Promised Land by Israel is a
picture or type of the spiritual journey of the Church into truth and the
possession of the Earth for the Kingdom of God. This is what we lost at the
Fall. </span></b></div>

since the Resurrection, Satan knew that it was only a matter of time till his
rule was challenged and he is making a desperate push to strengthen his grip on
the Earth. His two main instruments are Islam and Marxism. Israel and the
Church [all true believers in Christ] are the two Covenant peoples of God.

had to bring down the strongholds of the enemy, possess the Land and establish
the rule of the Kingdom; The Church is to make disciples of all the nations
which also involves bringing down the enemy strongholds and bringing people
into the Kingdom. Jesus said ‘I will build My Church and the gates of Hell will
not stand against it.” Matthew 16:18,19. The Church is the Army of God. What we
need to be doing at this time is preparing for war i.e. spiritual warfare over
the nations. Where that is happening, people are getting saved. Moslems are
coming into the Kingdom by the thousands. However much of the Army is preparing
for the Rapture Retreat. This is because of error which came into the Church
about two hundred years ago. Two errors shape much of our end time thinking;
i.e. The “Rapture” of the Church and Daniel’s 70th week.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">TIME FOR
ACTION</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Most
Christians would be aware that things have changed and changed very quickly and
not for the best. What to do about it? While some are endeavouring to stand
against the tide of anti-God activity, others see the downward trend as a sign
that Jesus is coming to ‘rapture’ them shortly and take them out of the mess.
People are looking for answers. They need to understand just what is going on.
We need a Biblical worldview.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How does
God see things?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">First of all
we need to understand who we are. How many know that Christians are the Seed of
Abraham? What difference <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>does that make?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Let the
Bible speak:-</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Now to Abraham and his Seed were the
promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And
to your Seed” who is Christ.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>Galatians
3:16</span><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“And if you are Christ’s, <u>then you
are Abraham’s seed</u>, and heirs according to the promise.”</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Galatians 3:29</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">T</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">here is One
Seed and that Seed is Christ AND the Church.- Jesus and His Church are the Seed
of Abraham, and we inherit all the promises made to Abraham.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abraham had physical seed through Isaac and
spiritual seed through Christ. To the physical seed God gave the Land of
Canaan, which they had to possess; To the spiritual Seed, God gave the Earth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For the promise that he would be heir of the
world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the
righteousness of faith.” </i>Romans 4:13</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That’s us!
We are heir of the world. We also have to possess our inheritance. The journey
of Israel from slaves in the kingdom of darkness to conquerors possessing the
Promised Land is a template for how the Church will possess their inheritance.
Israel had to possess the Land, bring down the strongholds of the enemy and
establish the rule of God, i.e. the Kingdom. Our inheritance is occupied by
satanic forces with their entrenched strongholds.</span><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“We know that we are of God and the
whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1 John 5:19</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During the
temptation of Christ, Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and
boasted that they were his. This is still the case. That’s why we have a messed
up world. Jesus removed his authority over the world by bearing all the sins of
the world. Authority over the earth now belongs to the Seed of Abraham but
Satan still operates illegally. Jesus has done all the work but we have to enforce
His victory in the Earth till the satanic strongholds crumble.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is a
spiritual war against spiritual enemies:-</span><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“For we do not wrestle against flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ephesians
6:12</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A generation
of the physical seed of Abraham rose up under Joshua and claimed the Land of
Canaan. Eventually the Kingdom was established under Solomon, son of David and
the glory of God filled the temple. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This current
generation is the Joshua generation. This is the generation destined to rise up
and liberate the earth from the clutches of the wicked one. Since the
resurrection he has been waiting in fear and trembling, knowing that his days are
numbered. All he could do was exercise his only remaining powers, to deceive
and accuse, to keep the Seed of Abraham from rising up and claiming the Earth
for the Kingdom. He does this by blinding our spiritual eyes to spiritual
realities. He is also quite happy to let us believe in wrong teaching about the
end times; anything but the truth. Wrong teaching has bred an apathetic Church,
just waiting to be raptured out any moment now; when what we are supposed to be
doing is getting on the offensive against the enemy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Jesus said
that He would build His Church and the gates of Hell would not stand against
it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Time to wake
up Church! It’s not just about taking us to Heaven when we die; it is about
bringing back the King and the Kingdom to rule over our Earth. The Earth is our
inheritance; the Kingdom of God ‘on Earth as it is in Heaven’ is our Promised
Land. But we have to claim it. The Hosts of Heaven are waiting to do battle
with us. The Victory is ours! Amen</span><br />

<br />
<br />
Jesus’ brothers were preparing to go up to Jerusalem to the
Feast of Tabernacles. They challenged Jesus to go up and “Show Yourself to the
world.” Jesus replied:-<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
“My time has not yet come, but
your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I
testify of it that its works are evil. You go up to this feast, I am not yet
going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.” John 7: 6-8</div>
<br />
After His brothers had left, Jesus went up to the feast
secretly and about the middle of the feast He went into the temple and taught.
The Pharisee’s wanted to arrest Him but could not “for His time had not yet
come.” On the last day, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that great day of
the feast</i>, as water was poured out from a golden pitcher onto the altar to
the rejoicing of the crowds, Jesus revealed Himself openly as the One who
provides the living water of the Spirit.<br />
<br />
Throughout His ministry, Jesus moved with a sense of
purpose. He was obviously conscious that He was fulfilling prophecy as
encrypted into the feasts of Israel. That’s why He rode into Jerusalem on the
exact day of the choosing of the Passover Lamb and was acclaimed by the crowds.
When told by the Pharisees to silence them He replied that if the people were
silent the stones would cry out. This was the time for the Lamb of God to be
chosen and to give His life for the world and nothing would stop it. <br />
<br />
Jesus died at the time of the sacrifice of the Passover lamb
up at the temple; His body went into the tomb as the Feast of Unleavened Bread
began; and He rose on the Feast of Firstfruits to be ‘the firstfruits of them
that slept.’ The Holy Spirit was poured out exactly on the Day of Pentecost –
the anniversary of the giving of the Law and the plans for the tabernacle. This
Feast was about equipping the people of God to fulfil their commission.<br />
<br />
The one Feast that has never been fulfilled in the Church is
the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the Feast of fullness, the final harvest when
God will bring into manifestation all that the Cross has purchased. All the
seeds that have been sown will come to harvest. The Church will rise to its
full potential in Christ and there will be a mighty harvest of souls. ‘Elijah’
will come and restore all things [Matthew 17:11] i.e. the Spirit which anointed
Elijah will come upon the Church to prepare the way of the Lord as He came upon
John the Baptist to prepare the way for Jesus’ 1<sup>st</sup> coming. It will
be a glorious time and it’s about to begin in a few short years. <br />
<br />
Jesus moved in sync with the Feasts of Israel. Those Feasts
were set into the history of Israel as a road map for the Church. Therefore if
we look at what Jesus did at the time of the Feast of Tabernacles, we will have
some clues about what Jesus will be doing during the season of the fulfilment
of this Feast. Jesus made the point that He could not go up to the Feast any
time as others could. He wasn’t just another worshipper; He was the central
figure of what the Feast was all about. Jesus went up secretly. What is that
saying? Jesus will be coming to the Feast but it will not be the time for Him to
be openly revealed. Of course Jesus is always with His Church but at the End
time fulfilment of the Feast, there will be a greatly increased sense of the
Presence of the Lord. <br />
<br />
About the middle of the Feast, Jesus went up into the temple
and taught. The temple stands for the people of God. They are the Living temple
that Jesus is building even now. At this time the Church will come greatly
alive with the Word of God; we will be of one mind with Jesus the Head. This is
the glorious Church spoken of in Ephesians 5:25,26<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that he might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the
word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot
or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”</i></div>
<br />
The Church will move with power and authority and be filled
with the love and the Presence of God. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There will be great healings and creative
miracles, like limbs being restored, and the world will flow into it. <br />
<br />
On the last great day of the Feast Jesus revealed Himself
openly and proclaimed Himself as the fount of Living Water and gave the
invitation,<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in
Me, as the Scriptures has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living
water.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>John 7:37, 38</div>
<br />
Foreshadowing the invitation at the end of the Age as in
Revelation,<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“And the Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say,
‘Come!’ And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the waters
of life freely.”</i> Revelation 22:17</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Jesus will come physically and
openly at the end of the season of the fulfilment of the Feast of Tabernacles
in the Church. It will undoubtedly be <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“On
the last day, that great day of the Feast.”</i> John 7:17.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"></i></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Jesus, the king once despised and
rejected, will be welcomed with great rejoicing and celebration and will reign
on the Earth. AMEN</div>

What's up ahead? there are many things happening across our world that could cause anxiety and fear; yet the Word for the Church in these days is to not be intimidated by these things but to keep our eyes on Jesus 'that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before.' Joshua 3;4</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d2129; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> We are in a new era.

There will be some sh</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: transparent; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">aking going on as God prepares His people for what is ahead. Jesus is cleansing His Temple. 2019 will be a year of preparation for great things ahead. <br style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" /> The Feast of Tabernacles, which has never been fulfilled in the Church, is going to be fulfilled. It is the Feast of fulness and the final harvest, when God brings it all together. The Church will rise to it's full potential in Christ. This is what God has been working toward for ages and for generations. <br style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" /> Those who have written the Church off as not relevant any more; that we are in a 'post Christian era,' are about to get a surprise. <br style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" /> Jesus said " I will build My Church and the gates of Hell will not stand against it." <br style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" /> Of these days God told Daniel, "Go your way, Daniel; for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."<br style="display: inline; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" /> Be wise; keep your eyes on God's agenda. The victory that Christ purchased at the Cross is soon to be evidenced in the earth.</span><br />

<div style="border-image: none; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Many eyes are looking towards Israel for what they believe is a
sure sign of the soon return of the Lord, - the building of a third Temple.
This is because of a particular interpretation of a verse in Daniel 9</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Vs 27 ”<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Then he shall confirm a covenant with many
for one week; </i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">but in the middle of the week he shall bring
an end to sacrifice and offering.”</span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This interpretation goes like this:- The Antichrist makes a peace pact
with the Jews. After three and a half years he breaks the covenant and stops
the sacrifices at the temple. From this they assume that a third Temple has
been built. This all happens during the last seven years of the Age, which is a
time of God’s special dealings with Israel. Meanwhile Christians will be
‘raptured’ out. The seven years are the final ‘week’ of a prophecy in Daniel 9:24
in which God told Daniel:-</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">“Seventy weeks are determined for your
people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of
sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting
righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.” </span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The weeks are weeks of years, so a week is seven years. According to
this interpretation only 69 weeks have been fulfilled and there is another week
to go. They teach that between the 69<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> and 70<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> week,
God has inserted the Church Age. When the Church is ‘raptured’ out there is a
time of great tribulation coming on the world. The promises contained in vs 24
have not yet been fulfilled. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">This is the popular end time teaching in many evangelical and
Pentecostal churches. It has made its way into the notes of the Schofields,
Dakes and other Bibles and thus assumes the authority of holy writ. God told
Daniel that some end time truth is sealed until the time of the end; (Daniel
12:9) but about 200 years ago, there were those who went ahead of the Spirit
and put together an end time scenario which doesn’t leave a lot of room for the
Holy Spirit to bring revelation on the real plan of God for the Church. Getting
raptured out any moment may sound exciting but what God has for the Church is
even more exciting.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The truth is that the seventy weeks were seventy consecutive weeks; the
last ‘week’ was the week of Jesus’s ministry. In the middle of the week, after
3 and a half years of ministry Jesus brought an end to the sacrifices as far as
God was concerned, by making the one perfect sacrifice for all time. By His
death on the Cross He confirmed or strengthened the Abrahamic covenant and He
fulfilled all the promises contained in vs 24. God has only one answer for this
world’s condition, and that is the Cross of Christ. Anything that He is going
to do was accomplished there. We just haven’t yet understood the full extent of
all Jesus achieved there. Jesus work is a finished work. He is now seated at
the right hand of God “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">waiting till His
enemies are made His footstool</i>.” (Hebrews 10:12-14)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Jesus moved with a sense of purpose. He knew the plan of Redemption and
worked within the will of the Father. He often said ‘it is not time yet’
because He was working to the plan. He said “I am sent only to the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.”(Matthew 15:24)) That is because the work of redemption
had to be first demonstrated in Israel, the pattern nation and priestly nation.
The whole sacrificial system and the commemorative Feasts and all God’s
redemptive acts for Israel were set up as a platform for the work of
Redemption. The time came when God told Peter to take the gospel to the
Gentiles. (Acts 10 and 11) The seventy “weeks” were completed.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">There is no specific seven year period of tribulation, though
persecution and tribulation may come. The Jews may or may not build another
temple, though one would expect that they would want to. The third temple as far
as God is concerned is the Living Temple that Jesus is building, (Ephesians
2:19-22). There was, at one time in the days of Solomon, three places of
worship which are a type of the present time: – </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">*The tabernacle of Moses at Gibeon which represents
the Jewish people. It had lost the Ark, the Presence of God, but the sacrifices
were still made there and Solomon went there when seeking God at the beginning
of his reign. (2 Chronicles 1)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">* The tabernacle of David, a tent in Jerusalem which
now housed the Ark. It was open and the Ark was in full view of the people.
David organized continual worship to be held there. There was none of the
rituals connected to Moses tabernacle and the sacrifices were sacrifices of
praise. This tabernacle represents the Gentile Church. (Acts 15)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">*The great golden temple under construction being
built at the command of Solomon, son of David. This represents the Living
temple being built by Jesus Son of David.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">When Solomon’s temple was finished, the Ark was brought up and placed
in the Holy of Holies. Also the old tabernacle of Moses was brought from Gibeon
and placed in the temple, probably in one of the store rooms. (2 Chronicles
5:5) Then the Temple was filled with the glory of God. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-image: none; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Jesus is still building the Living Temple. When it is finished, the
gentile church and the Jewish people are going to come together as ‘one new
man’ (Ephesians 2:15) and the glory of God will fill it. Jesus said “I will
build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” (Matthew
16:18) The Living Temple is going to be filled with God’s glory and the nations
will flock to it.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Recently in the news was the report of a man attacking
someone with an axe. He said that a demon <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>told him to start the rise of hell on Earth.
Undoubtedly he was regarded as being mentally ill but I believe that his
experience was real.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we are witnessing
is the rise of the satanic realm in the Earth. Most people will shrug that off
as ridiculous, but Spirit filled Christians know the reality of the spiritual
realm and understand the nature of the conflict we are in right now.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">During the temptation of Christ, Satan showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and their glory and boasted that all of this was his. He
would give it all to Jesus if He would bow down worship him. Jesus didn’t
dispute Satan’s claim. Authority over the world was delivered to the devil when
Man submitted to him in Eden. Now ‘the whole world lies under the sway of the
wicked one.’ 1 John 5:19. Jesus went to the Cross to bring Satan’s boast to
nothing. The Cross is about more than taking you to heaven when you die; it’s
about reclaiming the Earth for the Kingdom.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Satan had legal claim to the Earth because of Man’s
rebellion but the Cross of Christ has changed all that. God now has a new breed
of Man in the Earth - cleansed, restored, eternally alive in Christ and given
authority in Jesus Name. Since the Resurrection, Satin has been working
frantically to maintain his hold on the Earth. The Bible speaks of him as
having great wrath, knowing that he has but a little time. We are witnessing
the rise of hell in the Earth. The values and principles which undergirded our
nations are being cast aside, faith in God is derided and more and more we see the
persecution of Christians.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes hell is rising in the Earth, but the good news is that Heaven
is coming down. The Holy Spirit of God is going to rise up in the people of God
and bring them ‘unto the measure of the stature of Christ.’ [Ephesians 4:13] Romans
8 speaks of the ‘manifestation of the sons of God,’ a time that all creation is
waiting for, because at that time it will be delivered from corruption also.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Man fell, creation fell; when sin grew
in the Earth, there was a further cataclysmic change at the time of the great
flood. Whenever there is reviving and renewal there has been a measure of
restoration seen in the surrounding area as seen in the Transformation series –
the crops yield abundantly, pollution recedes, the fish come back in the
streams. The spiritual state of Man is reflected in the physical state of the
Earth. With the moral breakdown of our society, we see the escalation of the devastation
of the Earth – more earthquakes, more drought, more fires and destructive
hurricanes. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The ‘manifestation of the sons of God’ speaks of a time when
God’s people rise to live out of their position in Christ.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Him we are righteous and holy; ‘seated in
heavenly places in Him.’[Ephesians 2;6] i.e. having spiritual authority in the
Earth. ‘As He is, so are we in this world.’ [1 John 5; 17]. What kept Israel in
the wilderness for so long? They didn’t know who they were. God called them ‘My
Son’ [Exodus 4:22] but they saw themselves as only grasshoppers. When they
finally believed they were who God said they were, they rose up in victory and
the walls began to fall. What God has done in Israel is there for the instruction
of those ‘upon whom the ends of the ages have come.’ [1 Corinthians 10:11]</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The time has come when the sons of God will rise up and
really BE the sons of God. Then we will see the Victory of the Cross expressed
in the Earth and the Kingdom of God begin to be established in preparation for
the Coming of the King. The Battle of the Ages is upon us! Amen! Come Lord
Jesus.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so tired of the
prophets of doom and gloom. I’m just as tired of the run-away ‘rapturists.’ It
short changes the Cross. Jesus died a terrible death to give us Victory. He
said that His Church would demolish the gates of Hell. Where did He say that?
Matthew 16:18,19. This is just one of the many Scriptures that we pass over
with ‘O, that just means so and so…..’ when it means far more than that, when
we take a closer look.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ongoing truth
which the Spirit brings is hidden in plain sight, in the Word, but our
spiritual eyes are often closed to it. Mostly because we have our end time
truth all sorted out and we don’t want to know any different. If we took time
to meditate on the Word and asked the Holy Spirit to show us what it means, we
may be surprised with what He reveals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Other Scriptures we tend to pass over are Ephesians 4:11-13
which tells us that Jesus has set some ministries in the Church to bring it “to
a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Also
Ephesians 5:27 that tells us that Christ’s Church is going to be “a glorious
church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be
holy and without blemish.” Surely not! That must mean after Jesus comes back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The truth is encapsulated in the Types of Israel – the
pattern nation. They show that the people of God, having been set free through
the blood of the Passover lamb, eventually becoming a glorious, victorious Army
which possesses its inheritance [The Promised Land] and establishes the Kingdom.
Until they understood who they were and what they were redeemed to do, they
wandered in the wilderness. That’s where the Church is now!<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The inheritance of the spiritual descendants of Abraham is
the Earth. [Romans 4:13] We are redeemed to reclaim it for God. Then the
Kingdom will come on Earth as it is in Heaven. That is our Promised Land. This
involves spiritual warfare in Jesus’ Name; but the victory is assured. Jesus
has done everything necessary in order for the Church to rise up and enforce
the victory He has won.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One generation
will; and that generation is already born into the Earth. How do I know that?
By studying the Types. It’s all there if we care to look and study it through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I have endeavoured to put all this into my books “The Other
Bible Code – Unlocking the Glorious Destiny of the Church of Jesus Christ.” And
“End Time Insights – The Cloud moves On.” They are available at Amazon,
Booktopia, Koorong and most Book Stores. The following link will take you to my
author page at Amazon and you can navigate from there. Let’s open our eyes to
see the wonderful things God is going to do in the Earth. – and SOON <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><span id="goog_70573545"></span><span id="goog_70573546"></span>New territory up ahead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After many
years of wilderness wanderings, the nation of Israel was on the move into new
territory. Their instructions were to watch the Ark carried by priests as it
approached the Jordan River; “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yet there
shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do
not come near it that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not
passed this way before.” </i>Joshua 3:3,4. This is a word from the Lord, intended,
not just for Israel centuries ago, but also, <u>and more especially, </u>for
the people of God today. Just why, I hope to make clear in these few pages.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The basis of
my books is Typology, i.e. understanding the purposes of God by studying the
redemptive types [maps, patterns] of the Old Testament. Israel is the pattern
nation. Every redemptive act, event or object in the Old Testament finds its
spiritual counterpart in the New Testament and in the ongoing journey of the
Church. Jesus said that the Spirit would lead and guide us into all truth. Revelation
by the Spirit is ongoing. By the Word and the Spirit God unlocks the truths
which will bring us into maturity. “The Lord has yet more light and truth to
break forth from His Word.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AHB 335</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
principle of Typology is: ‘First the natural, then the spiritual.’ Before the
coming of the Spirit, people couldn’t understand spiritual truth. Such truth
can only be ‘spiritually discerned’ [1 Corinthians 2:14]. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God gave them physical things which represented
the spiritual truths which would then be revealed in the New Testament after
the coming of the Spirit. The spiritual descendants of Abraham are the nation
of Israel; the spiritual descendants are all true believers, i.e. the Church. [Galatians
3:16,<u>29</u>]The redemptive events in Israel are paralleled in the Church.
They are physical in Israel and spiritual in the Church. <u>God’s purposes are:
Demonstrated in Israel; Activated by the Cross; Manifested through the
Church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus said, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal
life; and these are they which testify of Me.”</i> The Scriptures He was
referring to were the Old Testament Scriptures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Since the Cross is God’s only answer, everything God did in Israel
pointed to it and everything since the Cross issues out of it. Most Christians
know that Jesus is the fulfilment of the Passover Lamb; however not many follow
the Type through to its conclusion; therefore we have not yet come into the ultimate
outcome of the sacrifice of the Lamb. We have understood the truths of
Passover; but not yet entered into the truths of the Feast of Tabernacles. Likewise
with the Type of the Tabernacle we have been to the Altar in the Outer Court
but have yet to enter into the Glory in the Holy of Holies beyond the Vail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At a Lay Preacher’s Retreat, I commented on
the many Old Testament Scriptures which don’t make it into the Lectionary.
Someone asked me “Well would you want to preach on the furniture of the
Tabernacle?” She was obviously unaware that the Tabernacle with its furniture is a pattern of spiritual truth
of great significance. When God gave the pattern of the Tabernacle to Moses He
said, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">See that you make all things
according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”</i> [Hebrews 8:5] It was “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the copy and shadow of the heavenly</i> [or
spiritual] <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">things.” </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Tabernacle with its furniture is a map showing the spiritual progression of the
people of God into the completion of God’s purpose. If we study it alongside
the Journey to the Promised Land and the Feasts of Israel we will understand
the way God is taking us and the spiritual truths whereby we arrive at our
destination. God chartered this map by the Cloud of the Spirit as He led His
people into the Promised Land. Jesus did all things ‘according to the pattern,’
and in bringing the Church into its destiny in the Earth, God is doing all
things ‘according to this same pattern. ’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Jesus often
said “My time is not yet” E.g. John 7:6. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because He was working according to the
pattern of Redemption laid down in the Old Testament Scriptures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will not come into the fullness of truth
unless we study the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">whole</i> Bible. This
is the pattern or the map of the journey the Church is on:-</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ESCAPE
FROM BONDAGE -PASSOVER</span></u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">: Egypt with its tyrant ruler is a Type of the Kingdom of Darkness ruled
by Satan where Man is in bondage to sin and death. We escape through faith in
the shed blood of the Passover Lamb. The truths of Passover are; Justification
by faith,[Passover] Sanctification [Feast of Unleavened Bread], and Baptism
into Christ [Feast of Firstfruits]. God had his infant Son brought out of Egypt
to fulfil the Type. [Check out Hosea 11:1]</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">COMMISSIONED:
Israel, Jesus, and the Church have all been commissioned. The Church has an
assignment to complete in the Earth before the Coming of the Lord. Our
deliverance was accomplished at Passover ; the rest of the Journey is about
coming into the fullness of our deliverance [the ‘manifestation of the sons of
God’] and completing our assignment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>EMPOWERED TO FULFILL THE COMMISSION –
PENTECOST: </u>Pentecost is about equipping the people of God to fulfil their
commission. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Israel’s
Commission</span></u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">. God
called Israel to possess their inheritance, [Canaan] and be a ‘kingdom of
priests, a holy nation.’ They were to dispossess the inhabitants of the Land
and establish the rule of the Kingdom. They were equipped for their assignment at
Mt Sinai with the Law and the Tabernacle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>Jesus’ Commission</u> was to ‘destroy the
works of the devil.’ [I John 3:8] By the Cross, He stripped the devil of his
authority and gave it to His Church. He stated ‘I will build My Church and the
gates of hell will not stand against It.’ Which brings us to our commission. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Commission of the Church</span></u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our commission is to make all
the nations Jesus’ disciples. In essence it is the same as Israel’s commission
– dispossess the enemy and establish the </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>. Kingdom. The Earth is our inheritance.
[Romans 4:13]At this present time ‘the whole world lies under the sway of the
evil one.’ [1 John 5:19] Looking at our world it can be clearly seen that this
is so. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is gross error to pass off all
the terrible things that happen in our world as the will of God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's why the priority prayer is that God’s
name be honoured; His will be done; His Kingdom come ‘on Earth as it is in
Heaven.’ Our Promised Land is the Kingdom of God on Earth. The Holy Spirit is
given to us to bring down the ‘gates of hell,’ free the nations to receive the
gospel, and thus establish the rule of the Kingdom, before the return of the
King. The Types show us how this is to be accomplished. For Israel it was a
physical journey; for the Church it is a spiritual journey.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">WILDERNESS
WANDERINGS.</span></u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40
years because they had an identity problem. God said “Israel is My son, My
firstborn.” [Exodus 4:22] Israel’s faith confession when they saw the giants in
the Land was, “We are as grasshoppers.” [Numbers 13:33].<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They didn’t know who they really were or
believe that they could do what God had commissioned them to do. They still
operated in the slave mentality they acquired in Egypt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was right here that God made the vow that
one day His glory would fill the earth. [Numbers 14:21]Taken in context; this
is dependent on the people of God possessing their inheritance.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus was also tested in the wilderness and the
temptation He faced was also an attack on His identity. He came from His
powerful encounter at the River Jordan with the Father’s affirmation, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This is My beloved Son in whom I am well
pleased</i>,” to face the insinuations of the Tempter “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">IF You are the Son of God</i>…..” He came out of the wilderness after
40 days, ‘in the power of the Spirit,’ ready to begin the attack on the
strongholds of the enemy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is
where the Church is at right now. Like Israel, we don’t know who we really are
or what it is we are to do. Some are preparing to get away from it all in a
space flight called the ‘Rapture.’ Some are opting to go with the flow and be ‘progressive.’
For others it’s just business as usual. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What we need to do is to get back to the Word
of God and wait on the Spirit for revelation. There is a cache of revelation
that is reserved for the end time, as Daniel was told. [Daniel 12:4-13]At a
time when ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall increase’</i> God will bring the revelation that is needed. He
sees the way ahead and will show us if we earnestly ‘ask, seek and knock.’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We have come
to a way which we ‘have not passed before’. The Early Church set out on this
Journey and became a powerful Church of whom it was said ‘they turned the world
upside down;’ but like the first generation of Israel from Egypt, they didn’t
complete the Commission. Error entered the Church and it went through the ‘Dark
Ages,’ sometimes called ‘the devil’s millennium.’ For many years the Church
wandered in the wilderness of spiritual blindness. God again began the process
of restoration with the foundational</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>4. truth of Justification by Faith and brought
us to this place where we now stand. The final generation of the Church Age
will come into the ‘all truth’ that Jesus promised and complete the Commission.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">COMPLETING
THE COMMISSION – THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES</span></u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The final Feast
is the Feast of fullness and completion. It is the Feast of the final
harvest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Israel came out of the
wilderness under the leadership of Joshua. They crossed Jordan and began the
attack on the strongholds of the enemy by bringing down the walls of Jericho.
Eventually they conquered the Land and Solomon, son of David, came to the
throne. For a short time the nation became a faint earthly Type of the Kingdom
of God. The Land was at the height of prosperity, the rule of the Kingdom was
established and its king [a Type of Jesus, the greater Son of David] was famed
throughout the world for his wisdom and understanding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the Feast of Tabernacles, Solomon
dedicated the great golden Temple which was filled with the Glory of God, a
picture of the ‘Glorious Church without spot or wrinkle.’ [Ephesians
5:27].<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This glorious Church will draw
the nations in. As Isaiah said,(Isaiah 61:1-3) - </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The truth which is encoded in the Day
of Atonement will be revealed. It is a deeper understanding of all that the
Cross accomplished; the truth of the finished work of Christ. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus
is now seated at God’s right hand waiting till his enemies are made his
footstool. [Hebrews10:12-14]. That’s our job! And it will involve spiritual
warfare. The truths of the completed work of the Cross will cause the Church to
rise up in power and glory and bring the nations in. A short paragraph like
this cannot do justice to this. I have written about it in my books and it needs
the revelation of the Holy Spirit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the Scripture at the beginning of
this paper, Israel was coming out of the wilderness. They were told to ‘Watch
the Ark’ so that they would "Watch the Ark" now which way to go, because they were about to
traverse new territory. The Ark is the highest Type of Christ in the
Tabernacle. It was to precede Israel by ‘about 2,000 cubits.’ Every detail that
God gives is important when interpreting the Types. Nothing is whimsical. This
mostly overlooked detail shows that about 2,000 years after Jesus came out of
the wilderness ‘in the power of the Spirit’ to begin bringing down the
strongholds of the enemy; the rest of the Army of the Church will follow. That
is soon! Much more could be said and is said in my books. The truths that God
is unlocking are the truths we need in these difficult days.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The times <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</i> difficult but they are also very exciting. It is my firm belief
that in spite of all the trouble and persecution we encounter; this generation
will see the rise of the Church in power and glory. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY! “
[Colossians 1:27]</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Who is the Beast? In Revelation
13? His identity is a number, 666. A lot of Bibles read ‘it is the number of a
man.’ For many years people have been watching for a man whose name adds up to
666. As we know letters have numerical value in Greek and also In Hebrew, and
in Bible Numerics, numbers have meaning. E.g. 8 is the number of resurrection
and new life. Jesus’ name adds up to 888. A number stated three times is the
meaning of that number in its ultimate expression. 7 is the number of God and 6
is the number of man under sin, always coming short of the glory of God. </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Is the beast ‘a man’?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></o:p></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is the Beast the Antichrist as many believe?
Some translations, e,g, the NIV, renders it “It is man’s number.” It is
suggested that the phrase should read “it is a human number.” The Beast with
its seven heads and ten horns is not ‘a’ man. Beasts represent systems and are
representations of spiritual activity. Is the number on the forehead and the right
hand is a literal number? We have the technology for it. However in the
context, it shows that taking the mark involves a rejection of God. It is related to how we
think and what we do. Those with the mark are those who think and do according
to the Beastly spirit. God’s servants also have a mark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They bear this Name on their foreheads. It is
called a seal in Revelation 7:3 and Revelation 9:4.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are those who think according to God’s
Word. In Ezekiel 9:4, 6, God instructs that those who mourn the sad state of the
Temple be marked. God knows those who are His. From Eden until now, the question is - Are you going to let God be God or are you going to be your own god, deciding good and evil for yourself? while the serpent continues to whisper 'Did God really say that?'<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></o:p></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">666 is the monster that has
grown in the Earth since the Fall when Man rejected God and His Word and opted
to be their own god and decide good and evil for themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>666 is Man under sin grown to its fullness in
the Earth. They became Man- centred instead of God- centred. If you don’t have
the mark of the Beast you cannot buy and sell. I have just been listening to
someone on Vision radio talking about all those who have lost their living
because of their stance against SSM. Romans 1 reveals that the whole
gender-bender thing is rebellion against the Creator. The mark is not only that,
but it is opposition to the whole way of Christ – the Antichrist spirit. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></o:p></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The Dragon [Satan] stands on the
sand. [some Bibles read ‘ I stood’ but it is ‘it stood’] It calls the Beast up
out of the sea. The sea in scripture represents the people of the earth. The
Beast has been there all along and has come to a ‘head’ in various empires
throughout history. It is expressed in Humanism and other such philosophies
which have infiltrated into every strata of our society. Now the Dragon calls
the Beast into manifestation in the earth. This is what we are seeing happen
right now. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>666, Man under sin and in
rebellion against God, is coming to its ultimate expression, when man will
‘call evil good, and good evil ; put darkness for light and light for darkness,
put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter’ [Isaiah 5:20]<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></o:p></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">A second Beast rises from the
earth. He has two horns like a lamb He looks harmless, but he speaks like the
dragon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[‘Did God really say that?’]This
is the religious face of Humanism. It appears religious but is very deceptive.
These are those who call themselves ‘Christians’ and even appear on TV in religious
garb, but they speak according to the dragon. In the name of ‘love’ they put
Scripture aside. Is God unloving? We only have to look at the Cross to see the
answer to that question. God IS love and wants what is best for us. This Beast
also puts Man at the centre and misrepresents God. They endorse what God calls
‘sin’. They are deciding good and evil for themselves. The result of the
decision made in Eden long ago is rising up to its fullest in the earth.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span></o:p></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">God is longsuffering but will not allow sin to
go unpunished. “Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sow,
that will he also reap.” [Galatians 6:7] Yet God is always merciful. During
this day of Grace, we can exchange the Beast’s mark for God’s mark. God loves
all people and doesn’t want any to perish but all to come to repentance. [2
Peter 3:9]The days ahead may be dark, but it is at just such a time that God’s
Church will rise in the earth in glory and power. This
will be the Church’s finest hour.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

told of the pressure on Christians in the UK. She told how that she had represented
a young woman who was told not to wear her cross to work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People of other faiths were allowed to wear
the symbols of their religion; but in the Court it was asserted that the Cross
was not a symbol of Christianity. Anyone should know that this is a deliberate
denial of the truth, but truth seems to be expendable in this day and age. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Constantine the Great, when about to engage in battle, had
vision of a Cross in the sky and heard a voice saying, “In this sign you will
conquer.” He subsequently converted to Christianity and the persecution of
Christians ceased. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Some will argue that this was not necessarily a good thing.
In a backlash against the excesses of the Church in the time of ‘Bloody Mary’ [Queen
of England] the Puritans destroyed<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>all
such symbols believing that they were idolatrous,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>an attitude which still survives in some
traditions. Nevertheless, it is by all that the Cross stands for, that we will
conquer. It is obvious that the devil hates the Cross and any representation of
it.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The rainbow, a Biblical covenantal symbol, has been
appropriated by the LGBTQI lobbyists though there is currently a move to
‘Reclaim the Rainbow’ by Christians. Those who are fighting to preserve
Biblical values need to have an identifying symbol to which we can rally, and
what better symbol than the Cross? So I am saying, “Let’s wear our Crosses and
let’s keep the Cross and all it stands for before the world.” I am not
suggesting that Christians in countries where they could be executed for doing
so should risk their lives; but in nations like Australia, let’s assert our
right to wear a Cross and to proclaim our faith before we get to the same
situation that Christians in other nations like UK and the USA find themselves
in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The speaker on Vision radio said that Christians need to be
more vocal and visual. Wearing a Cross is a simple thing which we all can do –
men and women. It may also give us opportunities to share our faith. The Church
needs to be a lot bolder in standing up for Jesus in these days when there
seems to be a growing determination to stifle all things Christian. Jesus bore
the Cross for the sake of the world. Let’s wear the Cross as a witness of His
love for the world and in identification with Christ and His people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so tired of the
prophets of doom and gloom. I’m just as tired of the run-away ‘Rapturists.’ It
short changes the work of the Cross. Jesus died a terrible death to give us Victory. He
said that His Church would demolish the gates of Hell. Where did He say that?
Matthew 16:18,19. This is just one of the many Scriptures that we pass over
with ‘O, that just means so and so…..’ when it means far more than that when
we take a closer look.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ongoing truth
which the Spirit brings is hidden in plain sight, in the Word, but our
spiritual eyes are often closed to it. Mostly because we have our end time
truth all sorted out and we don’t want to know any different. If we took time
to meditate on the Word and asked the Holy Spirit to show us what it means, we
may be surprised with what He reveals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Other Scriptures we tend to pass over are Ephesians 4:11-13
which tells us that Jesus has set some ministries in the Church to bring it “to
a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Also
Ephesians 5:27 that tells us that Christ’s Church is going to be “a glorious
church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be
holy and without blemish.” Surely not! That must mean after Jesus comes back. Jesus will have not more power or authority when He returns, than what He already has. He has accomplished there everything that is needed to bring in the Kingdom. It has to be laid hold of and manifested by the Church. The whole creation is waiting for 'revealing of the sons of God'. (Romans 8:19) That is when the Church will rise up into all that Jesus has accomplished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The truth is encapsulated in the Types of Israel – the
pattern nation. They show that the people of God, having been set free through
the blood of the Passover lamb, eventually becoming a glorious, victorious Army
which possesses its inheritance [The Promised Land] and establishes the Kingdom.
Until they understood who they were and what they were redeemed to do, they
wandered in the wilderness. That’s where the Church is now!<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">The inheritance of the spiritual descendants of Abraham is
the Earth. [Romans 4:13] We are redeemed to reclaim it for God. Then the
Kingdom will come 'on Earth as it is in Heaven'. That is our Promised Land. This
involves spiritual warfare in Jesus’ Name; but the victory is assured. Jesus
has done everything necessary in order for the Church to rise up and enforce
the victory He has won.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One generation
will; and that generation is already born into the Earth. How do I know that?
By studying the Types. It’s all there if we care to look and study it through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I have endeavoured to put all this into my books “The Other
Bible Code – Unlocking the Glorious Destiny of the Church of Jesus Christ.” And
“End Time Insights – The Cloud moves On.” They are available at Amazon,
Booktopia, Koorong and most Book Stores. The following link will take you to my

devastating to some women who may need a lot of support to continue with the

and refers there to what is called ‘The slaughter of the innocents’ about the
time of the birth of Jesus. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Roman
soldiers were ordered by King Herod to kill all the male children in and around
Bethlehem when he heard that a new king was about to be born there. Matthew
2:16,17. This event has an Old Testament counterpart in Exodus 1. About the
time when Moses the Deliverer of Israel was to be born there was another
‘slaughter of the innocents’ as there is in this day at the end of this Age.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

that there is a Child to be born – a Deliverer, who is destined to crush his
head. He knows when such a deliverer is about to be born and moves to slaughter
the innocents and thus put off his demise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Since the event known as ‘The Fall,’ he has been ‘the god of this age’
[2 Cor. 4:4] and the whole world lies under his influence. [1 John 5:19]. He is
jealous over his control of this world and its inhabitants; no potential
Deliverer can be allowed to live. He knows that another Child is about to be
born destined to end his rule, - the Child of Revelation 12, The Seed of the
Woman, and so he moves to slaughter the innocents again.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

been taught. Actually it is not the complete answer. It is certainly true that
without Jesus there is no redemption possible. Without Him we are eternally
lost. It is also true that ‘the whole world [still] lies under the sway of the
wicked one.’ 1 John 5:19. We shall have to look further for the full answer as
to the identity of the Child. It is undoubtedly <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the Seed of the Woman promised in Genesis

to be the Son of God. They were redeemed from bondage in Egypt under Pharaoh,
to bring down the enemy and possess the Land of their inheritance – the
Promised Land. It remained for one generation of this Son, a generation of
Overcomers under Joshua, to come out of the wilderness and conquer the

the Fall, the ‘Woman’ – the people of faith of all ages, has been travailing to
bring forth the promised Seed. Sarah is a type of this Woman. She was made

operating in this dimension. The end time revelation of the finished work of
Christ causes the overcomers to rise up into Kingdom authority. Thus begins a
war in the heavenlies or spiritual realm. The Old Testament type of this is
Joshua and the army of Israel with the hosts of heaven at Jericho [Joshua 6].
The war in the heavenlies results in Satan being cast down from the place of
authority which he has been occupying illegally since the Cross. He has kept
his position only through deceit and accusation. [Note, it is a ‘they’ who overcome
the Dragon -One but many] The Child is the end time Overcomers – the long
awaited manifestation of the Seed. The Seed has been there all along – born of
God and co-heirs with Christ, but has not been manifested in its fullness. This
is the ‘glorious Church’ [Ephesians 5:27] destined to bring down ‘the gates of
hell.’[Matthew 16:18] That is why the devil is conducting an end time slaughter
of innocents, endeavouring to avoid the battle which he knows he cannot win.
However, the Seed of the Woman. backed by the hosts of Heaven. is victorious
and the cry goes up –<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">With Easter now upon
us, there will no doubt be the usual discussions/debates about what day was the
crucifixion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some want to make it on the
Wednesday to accommodate the ‘sign of Jonah’ Matthew 12:30; therefore they
insist that ‘three days and three nights’ mean exactly 72 hours in the tomb.
However the majority of Scripture references to the Resurrection say it was on
‘the third day.’ <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">There is one date
that everyone overlooks but when you place this date correctly then all the
other days of Easter fall naturally into place. That is the day of the choosing
of the Lamb. To do that we need to go back to the very first Passover keeping
in mind that it was God Himself who gave the instructions, knowing exactly what
was going to happen all those hundreds of years later.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Most Christians
understand that the Jewish Feast of Passover was fulfilled in Jesus, “The Lamb
of God who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29. He fulfilled all the
requirements down to the last detail. The instructions are found in Exodus 12. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.’”

choose the Lamb? It was the day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem riding a donkey
to be acclaimed by the crowds as a king. When the Pharisees saw it they said
“Master, rebuke your disciples.” Jesus told them that if the crowds were silent
the stones would cry out. This was the day of the choosing of the Lamb, and
nothing would stop it. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">This is the day we
celebrate as Palm Sunday. So since that day was the 10<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th </span></sup> (Nisan) as decreed
by God, then we can place the events of that week accurately.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The Lamb was to be
slain on the 14<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> (Exodus 12:6) which, counting from Sunday the 10<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>,
would have been on Thursday. There were two Sabbaths that week – The day of
Unleavened Bread which was kept as a Sabbath and the weekly Sabbath. Leaven is
a type of sin. Jesus’ body bearing our sins went into the grave as this day
began. The only thing that prevented the women going to the tomb earlier was
the Sabbath restrictions. They rested on the next two days which would have
been Friday and Saturday which brings us to Sunday ‘the third day.’ This was
the Feast of Firstfruits when the first sheaf was reaped from the harvest. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Leviticus 23:10,14) Jesus rose on that day
and became ‘the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep; ( 1 Corinthians
15:20) This was the beginning of a great harvest which has yet to be completed.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The lamb had to be a
perfect lamb without any defect. Accordingly, Jesus presented Himself in the
temple on the days preceding the crucifixion. There He was questioned by Scribes,
Pharisees, and Sadducees and finally by the High Priest, King Herod and Pilate
– every authority in the Land, and no one could fault Him. Finally Pilate
declared “I find no fault in Him.” The Lamb was declared perfect. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like
silver and gold…but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot” (1Peter 1:18,19)</i></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "eras bold itc" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">While every household
had their Passover Lamb, there was also a lamb at the Temple. The lamb was tied
to the altar at 9am and killed at 3pm – the hours Jesus was on the Cross.
Before Jesus and His disciples left the Last Supper, they sang a hymn, very
likely Ps 118 which was sung at Passover. It contains the words ‘Bind the
sacrifice with cords to the altar” Jesus went out knowing that He was going to
be bound to the altar of the Cross. When all was accomplished He cried “It is
finished.” The veil in the temple was rent in two from top to bottom opening
the way into the Presence of God.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Though the enemy
thought he had put an end to Jesus, it was all according to plan. The blood of
the Passover Lamb had secured the deliverance of God’s people from bondage in
Egypt; the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, brings deliverance from bondage to
sin and death in the kingdom of darkness ruled by Satan. From the sacrifice of
the Lamb of God, flows ultimately the redemption of the world – surely something
to celebrate.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RZEpRHjE42XNtBFjqS3JS_IhpLREeIZQqIWtqEqSXDQbE1lEaODJKAFUyJ8IPP1_cyzwDD5A6of2RxfCeKatcsGsoSqWwqf0SVDxzbf3Hqj2GYunL5h-eT9O7qSEVk-CXhCBhOJ8cq8/s1600/images%255B1%255D+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9RZEpRHjE42XNtBFjqS3JS_IhpLREeIZQqIWtqEqSXDQbE1lEaODJKAFUyJ8IPP1_cyzwDD5A6of2RxfCeKatcsGsoSqWwqf0SVDxzbf3Hqj2GYunL5h-eT9O7qSEVk-CXhCBhOJ8cq8/s320/images%255B1%255D+%25283%2529.jpg" width="187" /></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There has been some excitement recently about a star event which
seems to be depicting a significant birth which is due to happen in September
2017. I have heard three different interpretations of what this birth is so far.
Signs in the heavens were promised and they can confirm what the Word is saying
though I hasten to say that truth is gleaned from the Word of God not primarily
from astronomy. So I would give yet another interpretation of this Star birth
as it seems to confirm what the Word has revealed to me as I have studied it
for nearly half a century now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Revelation 12 records signs in the heavens which show the
birth of a Man Child who brings about the downfall of the devil. This is surely
the fulfilment of the promise in Genesis 3:15 about a coming Deliverer who will
crush the Serpent’s head. A lot of Christians quite naturally believed that
this Child is Jesus, and some say that the Woman is Israel; but there are
certain things about the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Revelation 12
Scripture that don’t fit this interpretation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>E.g. Revelation is “The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave Him to
show His servants – things which must shortly take place.” So it depicts things
which were future to the time it was given; and therefore, as Jesus is the One
who is giving the revelation, it would not be depicting the birth of the
Saviour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, who is the Child and who is the Woman? These are
questions which Christians have wrestled with for a long time. It is a mistake
to take Revelation too literally. It is too big for that. Mostly it depicts
systems, companies of people or beings, and movements in the realm of the
Spirit. I believe that both the Woman and the Child are companies of people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This Woman has been travailing since the Fall to produce the
Seed destined to crush the Serpent’s head and thus reverse the effects of the
Fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No doubt Mother Eve hoped that
Cain would be the promised deliverer. Is Israel the Woman? This is what Isaiah
wrote of Judah [26:17,18]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“As a woman with child
is in pain and cries out in her pangs, when she draws near the time of her
delivery, so have we been in Your sight, O Lord. We have been with child, we
have been in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth wind; we have not
accomplished any deliverance in the earth, nor have the inhabitants of the
world fallen.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It goes on to promise that deliverance would come with a
resurrection. The purpose of all the travail is to accomplish deliverance in
the earth. Israel did not accomplish deliverance in the Earth but they did
produce the Messiah, Who would make it all possible because of His death and
resurrection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So again we consider:- who is the Child of Revelation 12 who
was to come at the time of its writing? Is this birth still to happen? Is that
what is being depicted in the star sign that is causing a lot of speculation
lately?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The key to unlocking the Book is in the types of the Old
Testament. In His redemptive dealings with Israel, God has shown His plan for
the redemption of the world. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What He has
done in the physical in the natural descendants of Abraham, He does in the
spiritual through the spiritual descendants of Abraham ‘who is the father of us
all.’[Romans 4:16] As Isaac and all who came from him were considered to be the
son of God; [Exodus 4:22] so Jesus and all who come from Him are God’s Son.
[Galatians 3:16, 29] Christ and His Church are One; they cannot be separated. This
is a vital truth and we need to understand all of its implications. We are the
Seed of Abraham and the promised Seed of the woman in Genesis 3:15, destined to
crush the head of the Serpent and end his devastation of the earth. This is a
huge study and I have written about it in my books.[The Other Bible Code and
End Time Insights]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Bible is about much more than taking you to heaven when you
die; it’s about reclaiming the earth for the Kingdom of God. The promise He
made in Eden after the Fall, was that the Seed of the Woman would crush the
Serpent’s head. Thus the Promised Seed would liberate the Earth from the
Serpent’s influence. The Bible tells us that “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.”</i> [1 John
5:19]. That is why this Earth is in such a mess. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>During the<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>temptation, Satan showed Jesus all the
kingdoms of the world and boasted that they belonged to him. Jesus did not
dispute this claim but set about making a way to reclaim the Earth. Through His
substitutionary death on the Cross, Jesus brought us out from under the control
of the Serpent and gave us Kingdom authority. We are now of the promised Seed
along with Jesus and every Christian of every age.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Seed of the Woman was to come through the line of
Abraham. God gave Abraham physical seed through Isaac;- <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the Nation of Israel. The land of Canaan was
their inheritance. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, Abraham’s
spiritual Seed was Christ and all who came from Him – the Church. Their
inheritance is the earth. [Romans 4:13] Most Christians know that Jesus is the
fulfilment of the Passover Lamb which brought deliverance from bondage to
Israel: Jesus the Lamb of God brought us out of bondage in the kingdom of
darkness. Most Christians understand that. What they usually fail to do is to
follow the Type through to its conclusion. The redeemed slaves became an army
of conquerors who routed the inhabitants of the Promised Land and possessed it
for the Kingdom. That is to be the destiny of the Church. As we follow the
history of Israel through we find that it was a generation of Israel, the
Joshua generation, that finally conquered the enemy and possessed their
inheritance, - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the Promised Land. That
sets the pattern for the Church. It is a generation of spiritual Israel [the
Church] that will overcome the Serpent and possess the earth for God. This is
the generation of Overcomers which God has been working towards since Eden.
Jesus said ‘I will build My church and the gates of hell will not stand against
it.’ [Matthew 16;18] The Church is destined to rise up and overthrow the reign of the Serpent
and usher in the Kingdom of God. Anything less than total victory for the
Church in the earth, comes short of that for which Jesus agonised on the Cross.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is the manifestation of this generation of Overcomers which I
believe is being depicted in the Heavens. John the Revelator, saw it played out
in the heavens. In Revelation 12 we see the Woman travailing to give birth; the
Dragon waiting to devour the Child; the Child caught up to the throne of God
from thence to exercise power over the nations. God’s plan is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">‘<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Christ
in you, the hope of glory</b>.</i>’ This is ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the mystery which has been hidden from ages and generations, but now is
made manifest.’ </i>[Colossians 1:26].<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our legal position in Christ is to be seated ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">together in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus.’</i> [Ephesians 2:6] It is a position which the Church has yet to take
up. We have in our hands the spiritual authority which will bring down the
Serpent’s rule and liberate the earth. Remember that Revelation 12 is not about
a literal catching up to the throne, it is a spiritual rising up in the realm
of the Spirit, into the Kingdom authority that Jesus died to give us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Israel’s victory was
delayed because they did not really understand the greatness of their
deliverance. The Church has yet to see just what the Cross has achieved.
Everything necessary has been done and Christ is seated at the right hand of
God waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>[Hebrews 10:12,13]The end time Church will
come into a deeper revelation of the Cross which will cause them to rise up in
victory over the enemy. It is a revelation shown in the Type of the Tabernacle,
on the Day of Atonement. All Christians have Outer Court revelation of the
Cross; some have an ongoing revelation available in the Holy Place: but on the
Day of Atonement the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies. That is where
God is taking those who will be Overcomers with ‘power over the nations’ into the fullness of truth and the Glory of God. The
long travail is almost over and deliverance for the Earth will be accomplished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Woman is the people of faith of all ages travailing to
bring forth deliverance to the Earth; the Child is the end time Overcomers who
will cause Satan’s<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>fall from the place
of authority which he has occupied illegally since the Cross and Resurrection.
Jesus took authority over the earth from him and gave it to His Church. The
birth of the Overcomers will take place ‘about 2,000’ years after Jesus emerged
from the Wilderness and began His ministry, bringing down the strongholds of
the devil. How I know that is another study.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Is this the Birth that is happening in the heavens in September 2017? Allowing
that our calendar is not totally in line with the Jewish calendar, it could
very well be so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is a very abbreviated sketch of what is a complex
study; but it is an awesome truth and one which the Church will enter into
shortly. I pray that you will seek the revelation of the Holy Spirit as you
ponder these things. [Ephesians 1:15-19]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The time is
coming, and very soon, when this sin-spoiled Earth will be cleansed, restored,
and filled with the Glory of God. In Acts 3:19–21, we read that the heavens
must retain Jesus, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">until the time of the <u>restoration of all
things</u>, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since
the world began” </span></i>(emphasis added).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Some might say this means that when Jesus comes
again He will restore all things. However, Jesus Himself said that the work of
restoration involves the mysterious appearance of “Elijah.”<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> </span>The disciples Peter, James, and John
had been on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus. They had seen Him talking
to Moses and Elijah and heard the voice from Heaven. [Matthew 17:1-13].Their
minds must have turned to the prophecy at the close of the Old Testament
Scriptures:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This prophecy was kept
before <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
at the annual Passover celebration when a cup of wine was placed on the table
for Elijah in anticipation of his return. There were four cups of wine which
were drunk in conjunction with four promises of deliverance. They were:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">1. “I will take you out.”</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">2. “I will save you.”</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">4. “I will take you as a
nation.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">There was a fifth
promise, “I will take you into the Land,” and a fifth cup which is never drunk.
This is the cup of Elijah. (Is this the ‘fruit of the vine’ which He will drink
when the kingdom comes that He spoke of at the Last Supper? Luke 22:18)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Even though <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>
eventually possessed the Promised Land, they look for a greater deliverance
which is yet to come. Elijah will herald the coming of the Messiah and they
will possess the Land in peace. It was the promise of a golden age when Messiah
would sit on the throne in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jerusalem</st1:place></st1:city>
and rule the Earth. When Elijah comes, they believe, he will explain fully the
meaning of the fifth cup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Seeing Elijah on the
mountaintop and remembering the prophecy, the disciples must have thought that
the day of the Messiah had come. When Jesus instructed them not to tell of the
vision until after the resurrection, they asked, </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Jesus replied, </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Elijah truly is coming
first and will <u>restore all things</u>” </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">(<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Matthew <st1:time hour="17" minute="10" w:st="on">17:10</st1:time>, 11; emphasis added). He went on to say that Elijah
had already come, referring to John the Baptist who came </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn
the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of
the just to make ready a people prepared for the Lord” </i>(<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Luke 1:17).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">John’s appearance on the
stage of history was a partial fulfillment of the prophecy. It was a sign that
restoration had begun. The ministry of </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Elijah<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">is
not yet complete. At the time Jesus spoke, John was dead. Yet Jesus said that
Elijah was still to come and would restore all things. Elijah was the great
prophet of the Spirit in the Old Testamen</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">t. By the anointing of the Spirit upon him, Elijah challen<span style="color: black;">ged the Prophets of Baal―satanic powers of darkness of the
day―and turned the nation back to God. Jesus’ reference to </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Elijah<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">here</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">is not the literal return of the Old
Testament Prophet but the Spirit coming on human flesh to restore all things
and prepare the way for the Second Coming of the Lord. <i>Elijah</i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">will
turn the world back to God.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The restoration of all
things has already been accomplished in seed form at the Cross.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">For it

dwell, and by Him to <u>reconcile all things</u> to Himself, by Him, whether
things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His
cross.</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> (Colossians 1:19, 20; emphasis
added)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">When Jesus said “</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It is finished,<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">” that work of
reconciliation was completed. It is an accomplished fact in the realm of the
Spirit. We can bind and loose on Earth that which is already bound and loosed
in Heaven (or in the realm of the Spirit). Reconciliation becomes restoration
in the Earth when it is claimed by faith, e.g., a sinner is born again by the
Spirit of God when he believes that Jesus has died to reconcile him to God.
That reconciliation was accomplished two thousand years ago but it has to be
appropriated. So it is with all that was accomplished at the Cross.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">God continues to bring
restoration whenever and wherever faith is exercised. The greater the
revelation of the reconciling work of the Cross that we have, the greater the
measure of restoration will be. That’s why it is crucial to have an ongoing
vision. The reconciliation of all things will be manifested as the restoration
of all things when <i>Elijah </i>comes, <i>Elijah</i></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">being the Spirit of God coming in fullness upon
the people of God in these last days. The Holy Spirit continues to lead and
guide us into all truth and reveal things to come to all who are open to
receive. When <i>Elijah</i> comes, the Church will enter into all that Jesus
accomplished at His first coming. All things will be restored and Jesus will
return to take up His throne on Earth. All of creation is waiting for that
time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">For the
earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons
of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because
of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be
delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the
children of God. </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">(<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Romans

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">In Biblical history, we
find that Creation reflects the spiritual state of man. The Fall corrupted all
of nature. When wickedness increased on the Earth, it resulted in the Flood,
which again radically changed the face of the Earth. It has been shown in the <i>Transformations</i>
video series hosted by George Otis Jr. that when revival takes place, even the
surrounding area is renewed, pollution and corruption recede and the Earth
begins to flourish. The answer to the climate crisis the world faces is to
change the spiritual climate of Planet Earth.</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">All of God’s dealings
with Man have been toward the Restoration. It is the message </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“which God has spoken by the
mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began” </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">(Acts 3:21). Restoration sometimes requires
cleansing and chastening but the goal hasn’t changed. In the face of all the
chaos on Earth caused by Man’s rebellion, God still wants the message of
Restoration to be declared. In the following passage, we can sense something of
the burden of God’s heart when His servants don’t deliver the message.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

our spiritual enemy. Captive of his deceit, plundered and robbed to build his
anti-God kingdom, the world seems headed towards destruction. In the face of
all this, God still wants the message of Restoration declared on Earth. The

restore the earth</u>, to cause them to inherit the desolate heritages” </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">(<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Isaiah 49:8). (emphasis mine).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Jesus came to reconcile
ALL things to God (Colossians 1:20). The full effects of the Cross are yet to
be manifested in the Earth. The restoration of all things <u>will</u> come to
pass. Meanwhile, wherever the people of God lay hold of the reconciling work of
the Cross, the process of restoration continues: broken lives, broken families,
even broken communities can experience restoration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">So according to the
Scriptures, Jesus will not come again until the times of the restoration of all
things, which God has spoken of since the world began. Since the Fall, this is
what God has been working towards. Jesus said that this work of restoration is
to be accomplished by ‘Elijah” who will come first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Before the first coming
of the Lord, the spirit and power of Elijah came upon John the Baptist to
prepare the way: Before the Lord comes again, the Spirit will come upon the
Church to bring restoration and to prepare the way for His coming again to
reign over the Earth. This is ‘Elijah’ who is to come – the Spirit of God upon
the Redeemed to bring into manifestation the work of reconciliation
accomplished at the Cross.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Style" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Most Christians are
waiting for Jesus to come back and do all the work; however his work is
finished. He is seated at the right hand of God waiting for his enemies to be
made his footstool. (Hebrews 10:12 -14) <u>Christ in you</u> is the hope of
God’s glory filling the Earth. (Colossians 1: 27) In the coming great revival,
‘Elijah’ will stand up in the Earth and scatter the powers of darkness He will
usher in the Age of the Kingdom and reign of the King. Amen. Come Lord
Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

what will happen in the time of the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In Israel at one time there were three places of worship representing the people of
God: - The Tabernacle of David which housed the Ark [the Presence of God] accessible
to all and with 24 hour worship and praise. It represents the Gentile Church.
[Acts 15:13 – 18], Also the Tabernacle of Moses which was at Gibeon, It had
lost the Ark but still continued to function. It represents God’s Old Covenant
people. Then there was Solomon’s great golden Temple under construction.
Solomon, son of David, is a type of the Lord Jesus. This Temple represents the
Living Temple which Jesus is now building. <em>’a Habitation of God in the Spirit’
[</em>Ephesians 2:29-22 and other Scriptures]</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When the Temple was finished they brought up the Ark and
placed it in the Holy of Holies; and they also brought up the old tabernacle of
Moses. It was probably put in one of the store rooms. The Temple was dedicated
and then filled with the Glory of God. [2 Chronicles 7:1,2]</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At the time of the end, Jews and Christians will come
together in Messiah Jesus and this Temple will be filled with God’s Glory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Speaking of Israel Paul said, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will
their acceptance be but life from the dead?”</i> The Resurrection life of Jesus
will flow from this Temple. It will draw all people in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“<em>Arise, shine, for thy light has come and the Glory of the
Lord has risen upon thee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For behold,
darkness shall cover the Earth and deep darkness the people; but the Lord shall
arise upon thee and His Glory shall be seen upon thee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Gentiles shall come to thy light and
kings to the brightness of thy rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3</em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Yes the darkness and deep darkness is closing in; but the
future is brilliant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Revelation 12. It has been said that if you get Revelation 12 right, you will
get the rest of it right. It is pivotal. When reading ‘in heaven,’ think ‘in
the realm of the Spirit.’ This will give you a better understanding of what is
happening. Revelation is a drama being played out in the spiritual realm.
Remember that Revelation is symbolic. People make the mistake of trying to take
it too literal. Symbols allow for a much larger interpretation. </span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>………………………………………………..<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">God is in control! So
says just about every Christian preacher or teacher that I’ve heard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It must follow then that everything that
happens is the will of God – all the horrible tragedies that we witness day by
day on our television screen, radio, and in our own lives; sicknesses of soul
and body and mind rampant in the Earth. God lets these things happen to teach
us patience and faith etc. so the story goes. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Jesus taught us to
pray that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Are these things
happening in heaven? The answer to that is ‘No.’ God’s will for Man is seen in
Eden before the Fall –No sickness, no poverty, no wars, no death or any of the
things that plague us now. The Earth was an extension of Heaven. The ultimate
end of the Cross is that the Kingdom of God reigns in the earth again. THEN
God’s will, will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. In the meantime we are to look for and pray
for the Kingdom to come in its fullness; and yes, God does walk with us through
all of life’s happenings and He does continue to mould us into Christ’s image.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">God IS in control;
but that statement needs to be qualified or at least explained. God is the just
Judge and all the legals have to be settled. The Cross was a legal transaction
which legally changed everything, but that change has yet to be brought into
manifestation.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the beginning God gave Man dominion over
the Earth.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“The heavens, even the heavens, are the Lord’s, but the earth He has

</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">When God gives
something, he doesn’t take it back; that is unless it is a conditional gift or
promise.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” </i>Romans 11:29<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>

</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">It is like “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the law of the Medes and the Persians, which
does not alter.</i>” [Daniel 6:8] It cannot be changed.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">So the deeds of the
earth were given to Man. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Satan gained
authority over the Earth when mankind yielded allegiance to him. Satan showed
Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and boasted, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">All this authority I will give you, and their glory; for this has been
delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.” </i>Luke 4:6. Jesus didn’t
argue with that; He knew it was true; but He came to change things.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">The sin of Man gave
Satan the authority he exercises over the Earth. At the Cross Jesus paid for
the sins of all Mankind. The trial of Jesus was much more than an earthly
trial; the Courts of Heaven were in session. God was the Judge, Satan [the
Accuser], was the Prosecutor; Jesus was the Accused; He stood in the dock on
behalf of all Mankind. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The verdict was
‘Guilty’ and the punishment carried out. The Cross removed Satan’s legal hold
on the earth. Satan had no legal right to accuse us anymore. However man has to
come into the knowledge of this in order to be really free. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus rose as the new Man, head of all the
redeemed, and as the representative Man, He regained the authority Man had lost.
He said,<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on the earth. Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations….”</i> Matthew 28: 18, 19<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Authority over the
earth has been restored to redeemed Man, to exercise in Jesus’ name. Satan no
longer has any legal hold over the Earth, however he retains his grip on the Earth
by the only two powers he has left; - deceit and accusation. [See Revelation
12:9, 10]. By these two powers he continues to operate in the Earth and still ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the whole world lies under the sway of the
wicked one.’</i> 1 John 5:19 <o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">That is why the world
continues to be in such a mess. The Cross is about much more than going to Heaven
when we die; it’s about removing Satan’s grip on the Earth and restoring the
Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven. The Earth has been given to
redeemed Man [Romans 4:13] but Man has to possess it. The Types of the Old Testament
are there to show us how it can be done. The principle of Typology is ‘First
the natural, then the spiritual.’ God did in Israel in the physical, what He
intended to do in the spiritual through the Church. You might say He did a ‘dry
run’ to show us how to reclaim the Earth and bring in the Kingdom. As Israel
was set free from bondage by the blood of the Passover Lamb, to repossess their
lost inheritance; so we are set free from bondage by the Blood of the Lamb of
God in order to reclaim ours. Our Promised Land is the Earth – a good Land
flowing with milk and honey, but spoilt because it is overrun by ‘giants’ of
evil with their demonic strongholds. Moreover the spiritual dimension which
Creation had, has to be restored. All Creation is waiting for this. [Romans
:19-21]<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">The Bible says that
unredeemed Man is in a state of spiritual blindness. The Church moves forward
by Truth. We are a people still coming out of blindness. [2 Corinthians 4:3,4].
God leads His people on into the fullness of Truth, building ‘precept upon
precept, line upon line’ by the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us into all
truth. The Holy Spirit is symbolised by the Pillar of Cloud and Fire which led
Israel to the Promised Land. The end result of this journey into Truth, will be
a Church which has come into the revelation of the finished work of Christ,
i.e. they will have come into the knowledge of all that the Cross has purchased.
They are not deceived anymore by the lies of the Devil and they cannot be
intimidated by the ‘Accuser of the brethren,’ because they know that all grounds
of accusation have been removed. They will have come into the fullness of
Grace. Those who do not have this revelation will oppose, calling it
‘hyper-Grace’ but Truth will prevail. Satan has been dreading the rise of this
End Time Army, ever since the promise in Eden that the Seed of the Woman would
cause his demise.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">The unseating of
Satan from his position of authority is pictured in Revelation 12 when the
Manchild is ‘caught up to God and to His throne.’ To be ‘raised up and made to
sit in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus’ has been legally his since the
Resurrection, it is his birthright. Now finally a generation is birthed into
the Earth which will take up that position. This is the catalyst for warfare in
the heavenlies, with Michael and his angels defeating Satan and his angels and
casting them to the Earth. Why did Michael and his angels have to wait for the
Manchild to rise? Because in matters to do with the Earth, angels do not have
the authority; Man does. The Old Testament type of this is when Joshua and his
army crossed Jordan to be met by the Captain of the hosts of heaven. They had
to wait for Israel to come in order to do battle. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These two subjects may seem to
have nothing in common; yet there is a very definite link.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The ‘right’ to abortion is
accepted as part of our modern day ‘civilized’ society. A lot of people don’t
like it; Christians fight it; proponents consider it ‘progressive’ to allow a
woman to have control over her reproductive system all in the interests of
‘choice.’ <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">An unplanned pregnancy can be
devastating to some women who may need a lot of support to continue with the
pregnancy and may be tempted to think of abortion as the easy way out. Most are
unprepared for the life time after effects that abortion can bring. Some States
allow for late term abortion, which is just too horrible to describe. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is choice in these days
when contraception is readily available. Those who grieve over a miscarriage or
a regretted abortion may find comfort in knowing that that little life is not lost
to God. Many accounts of experiences in the afterlife reveal that the baby is
cared for and brought up in heaven and will be reunited to family. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This Scripture is quoted in Matthew
and refers there to what is called ‘The slaughter of the innocents’ about the
time of the birth of Jesus. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Roman
soldiers were ordered by King Herod to kill all the male children in and around
Bethlehem when he heard that a new king was about to be born there. Matthew
2:16,17. This event has an Old Testament counterpart in Exodus 1. About the
time when Moses the Deliverer of Israel was to be born there was another
‘slaughter of the innocents’ as there is in this day at the end of this Age.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Serpent has never forgotten
that there is a Child to be born – a Deliverer, who is destined to crush his
head. He knows when such a deliverer is about to be born and moves to slaughter
the innocents and thus put off his demise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Since the event known as ‘The Fall,’ he has been ‘the god of this age’
[2 Cor. 4:4] and the whole world lies under his influence. [1 John 5:19]. He is
jealous over his control of this world and its inhabitants; no potential
Deliverer can be allowed to live. He knows that another Child is about to be
born destined to end his rule, - the Child of Revelation 12, The Seed of the
Woman, and so he moves to slaughter the innocents again.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In Revelation 12 we see the
woman travailing to give birth with the Dragon waiting to devour the Child, as he
always has been. But isn’t this Child Jesus? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you will no doubt ask. This is what has always
been taught. Actually it is not the complete answer. It is certainly true that
without Jesus there is no redemption possible. Without Him we are eternally
lost. It is also true that ‘the whole world [still] lies under the sway of the
wicked one.’ 1 John 5:19. We shall have to look further for the full answer as
to the identity of the Child. It is undoubtedly is the Seed of the Woman
promised in Genesis 3:15. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The promised Seed was to come through
Abraham. Abraham had physical Seed through Isaac and spiritual Seed through
Jesus. Israel, the physical Seed, God calls ‘My son, My firstborn’. [Exodus
4:22]. This many-membered nation, all who were born of Isaac, were considered
to be the Son of God. They were redeemed from bondage in Egypt under Pharaoh,
to bring down the enemy and possess the Land of their inheritance – the
Promised Land. It remained for one generation of this Son, a generation of
Overcomers under Joshua, to come out of the wilderness and conquer the
enemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, the spiritual Seed - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus and His Church- are considered to be One
Seed.,<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say,
‘And to seeds,’ as of many, bur as of one, ‘And to your Seed,’ who is Christ
Jesus.</i> Galatians 3:16<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And if you are Christ’s then you are Abraham’s Seed and heirs according
to the promise</i>. Galatians 3:29<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Note, the Seed is One though
many. This Seed is the Son of God. Christ and His Church cannot be separated. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As in Israel, one generation of
Abraham’s Seed finally came out of the wilderness and conquered the enemy; even
so one generation of the Church is destined to break the enemy’s hold on planet
Earth –a generation of Overcomers under Jesus. This end time generation enters
into all that the Cross has achieved. This is the Child of Revelation 12. Since
the Fall, the ‘Woman’ – the people of faith of all ages, has been travailing to
bring forth the promised Seed. Sarah is a type of this Woman. She was made
beautiful and fruitful in her old age. After many years of waiting, when it all
seemed impossible, she brought forth the promised Seed. Likewise the coming
great revival will renew the Church and enable her to produce the Overcomers.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Israel brought forth Messiah Who
accomplished all the work of Redemption and Commissioned His Church to make all
the Nations His disciples.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It remains
for this redemption to be manifested in the Earth. All of creation is waiting
for this. [Romans 8:19-21] <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Back to Revelation 12. The Child
is ‘caught up to the throne;’ - the Overcomers rise up in Kingdom authority.
Thus begins a war in the heavenlies or spiritual realm. The Old Testament type
of this is Joshua and the army of Israel with the hosts of heaven at Jericho[Joshua
6]. The war in the heavenlies results in satan being cast down from the place
of authority which he has been occupying illegally since the Cross. He has kept
his position only through deceit and accusation. [Note, it is a ‘they’ who overcomes
the Dragon -One but many] The Child is the end time Overcomers – the long
awaited Seed. That is why the devil is conducting an end time slaughter of
innocents, endeavouring to avoid the battle. However, the Seed of the Woman. backed
by the hosts of Heaven. is victorious and the cry goes up –</span></b></div>

Antichrist will make a covenant with the Jews, which he will subsequently break
in the middle of the seven year period by causing the sacrifices at the temple
to cease. Then will follow a time of great tribulation. However Christians
won’t have to worry because they will be taken to Heaven in the event known as
‘the Rapture.’ This much anticipated happening is ‘the next great event on God’s

Jerusalem; -seven weeks [49 years], then 62 ‘weeks’ till Messiah the Prince. The
first period of seven weeks is the period up to the dedication of the second
temple; then another period of 62 weeks till Messiah the prince would come. [483 years in all]<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

the scenario as above in the first paragraph.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”</i> [Matthew 26:28] This, I believe, is
the covenant which is referred to; not some future covenant that the
Antichrist makes with the Jews. After 3 and a half years ministry <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">’in the middle of the week’ </i>Jesus was ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cut off, but not for Himself’</i> vs 26. He
thus made an end to the need for sacrifices as far as God was concerned as was signified
by the rending the veil in the Temple. The Jews may or may not build a third
Temple, but it is not part of God’s plan. The third temple is the Living Temple
of all believers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

Cornelius, a Roman centurion, whose household received the good news gladly,
and were subsequently filled with the Spirit. The seventy ‘weeks’ that God had

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Disobedience follows unbelief. If
we believe then we obey. Moses typical of the Law, couldn’t believe that a bit

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Probably we have all thought that
Moses punishment was a bit harsh, after all the years of faithful commitment,
but remember that God was laying down a principle here. He was leaving a vital
clue for us <em>“upon whom the end of the age have come</em>” [Read 1 Corinthians 10:11]<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">That Rock was Christ. One smiting
of the Rock is sufficient. It was all that was necessary to give access to all
the provision of God. We need only to speak to the Rock. What is speaking to
the Rock? It is prayer and our faith confession of the Word. It’s not our works
which make the fountain flow; it’s faith in <u>His</u> work. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Moses was indeed a great man of
God. He came a long way by faith but couldn’t enter in to the Land because he
lapsed into works. Did he make it into Heaven? Certainly! In Matthew 17 we see
him on the Mount of Transfiguration with Elijah talking to Jesus. Entering the
land isn’t about going to Heaven as we have stated. It’s about fulfilling the
mission of the Church here in the Earth.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">To conquer the Land we need to see
that one smiting of the Rock is enough. i.e. the Cross is all-sufficient.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In many and subtle ways we keep smiting the
Rock. When we say that Jesus has yet more to do before the Kingdom is
established; we are smiting the Rock. We are saying that the Cross wasn’t
enough. The Scriptures say that Jesus is now seated at the Father’s right hand,
waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus will come again when we have completed
our assignment to make disciples of all the nations, and <u>we</u> have put His
enemies under His feet.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

sounds very pious and commendable, but plainly it is works.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus has already done the job:-<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We need to stop smiting the Rock

Paul say “I die daily?” [1 Corinthians 15:31]. In the context he is talking

keep us busy wrestling the flesh, smiting the Rock.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a red herring, a delaying tactic, to
keep us from doing what we’re supposed to be doing – wrestling against powers

holiness settles in our soul and silences Self.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Jacob saw God face to face at Peniel and thereafter he walked with a
limp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No longer did he have confidence
in himself, only in God. As Paul was to say centuries later “<i>Our
sufficiency[ is] from God”. </i>[<i> </i>2 Corinthians 3:5] <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You can tell when people have seen
God; it shows.<i> </i>Moses saw God and his face shone with glory. Isaiah saw
God in the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Temple</st1:place></st1:city>
and was thereafter totally sold out to Him. Head knowledge can make us proud,
even just head knowledge of the Bible: [“<i>Knowledge puffs up”</i> 1
Corinthians 8:1] But revelation humbles us. When we see God’s glory with the
eyes of our heart, the flesh is dumb, there’s nothing to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Job saw God and didn’t need answers</span></b></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is seeing the goodness of God
that leads us to repentance. [Romans 2:4] When Moses asked to see God, He said
“<i>I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name
of the LORD before you.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>[Exodus
33:19]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moses received a revelation of a
merciful, gracious, longsuffering God, abounding in goodness and truth and his
face reflected His glory. Supremely, God is revealed in His Son Jesus:-<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“God………has shone in our

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is a humbling, purifying
experience to see God. If we want to be like Jesus all we need to do is to seek
His face, and we will be changed from glory to glory. Legally, our old nature
died at the Cross, it was crucified with Christ:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Experientially, day by day, we are changed by
revelation. We are responsible, of course, to walk in the light of what we have
