When sin is in a nation and goes on a rampage to the extent that it goes up
before God and he hears the cry’s of those who suffer from it, God at that time begins to look into the matter, as he
did with Sodom and Gomorra . God overthrew those cities along with those cities around the area. Sin, when it vaunts itself
in God’s creation, especially those whom God has chosen to do his will, they come under the judgment just like everyone
else.
[3] Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron
between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This
shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
This iron pan was something that represent that God would turn his face and
his mercy into judgment and would not hear their prayers. God had had enough and the time was to do something before there
would not be anyone who server God to be able to endure.
[4] Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of
Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
These; days that were laid upon Ezekiel, totaled four hundred and thirty days.
God told Ezekiel that each day that was involved in the showing Israel their sins that would be one year for each day. This
is the point of my message that I want you to see. This totaled up to four hundred and thirty days and each day represented
a year, this come to the total of four hundred and thirty years.
This is; the same amount of years, that Israel was in bondage in Egypt.
When God gave the law to Israel, the total was four hundred and thirty years.
The Israelites was to be in captivity for seventy years.
This was the time; that Daniel, Jeremiah, and other Prophets were involved.
Ezekiel seems to be a forerunner here of the judgment of God and also to be the
one to Turn the hearts of the nation that God had chosen, after seventy years, he would then deliver them from their captivity.
This has a significant meaning to those who were there involved in this time of judgment. It also gave light to the other
Prophets to be able to speak forth, the forthcoming prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah. Isaiah proclaims Jesus
as the Lamb that was to be humiliated and bruised. Daniel proclaims the seventy weeks of years of what is to be the cutting
off the Daily sacrifice and the overspreading of desolations. A lot of future decision was to be foretold by some men of God
that were living in this time.
[5] For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the
number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
[6] And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and
thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
These two verses describes the four hundred silent years that God would not
speak to his nation, The silent years is the bridge between the last words spoken by
Malachi; another prophet; uttered the words that give us the true insight to
what was being foretold, here in this time of captivity.
Let us look at what Malachi had to say when he prophesied:
Malachi 4:4-6 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto
him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
As I said before, It was exactly four hundred and thirty years from the time
that Israel went into bondage Moses was receiving the Law.
What Malachi is referring to; this is.
There would be ahead of this message four hundred years that God would not again
speak to his people in the manner of Prophesy for four hundred and thirty years.
After the four hundred years were expired; Jesus Christ, was born to the Virgin
Mary.
He was thirty years of age when; the Baptism took place there in the river of
Jordan.
John was there to baptize Jesus.
John the Baptist was the forerunner to announce the Lamb of God who taketh away
the sins of the world. This is what I want you to understand very clearly. The four hundred; thirty years; that was expired
when Moses received the Law on Mt. Sinai.
Here we; have the same amount of years again.
Ezekiel had been told that there would be three hundred and ninety days on his
side that he would bear the Iniquity of the house of Israel. Then he was to lay again for forty days. These days were for
Ezekiel to bear the iniquity of Judah.
These two instants total up to four hundred, and thirty years. This is the total
years including the silent four hundred years, and the time that John Baptized Jesus in the river of Jordan.
The Holy Ghost Descended upon Jesus, and at that precise moment; Jesus began
to do many infallible proofs; of what had been prophesied by Isaiah.
The other Prophets; Jesus quoted many passages from; prophecies of the old Testament;
including that of the Psalms.
Jesus also verified that Moses spoke of Him.
[5] Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the Lord:
Instead of Elijah the prophet being there to call fire and judgment upon the
world, It is my belief that had not Jesus came and fulfilled what had been prophesied the world once again, would have been
destroyed, like it was in the days of Noah.
This is where mercy rejoices against judgment. This is where God becomes God
for sure and not like man. God had before said to Moses that he would destroy the Nation of Israel and raise up a New Nation.
When Christ came, he found that the Nation of Israel, once again needed to be judged for their sins, they had made an agreement
with Hell. Jesus came to disannul that agreement.
God spoke to Job about the judgment and purpose that had been placed upon
him. Satan had accused job of being too righteous with God.
Job 40:6-8 (KJV) Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and
said,
[7] Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou
unto me.
God had once again spoke from Heaven, and was; not only shake this mountain;
when he spoke to Moses.
God spake to those who were there at the Baptism of Jesus, and again, God
Spoke to Peter when he wanted to build three tabernacles, one for Jesus, one for Moses and one foe Elijah.
Matthew 17:4 (KJV) Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good
for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
What kind of Tabernacle could Peter build for Them there? What was to take place
at the Cross could not be made with hands.
This Stone was cut out of the Mountain.
Daniel 2:34 (KJV) Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Daniel 2:45 (KJV) Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the
mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God
hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Here is the fulfillment of; the prophesy of; that of Daniel; when Nebuchadnezzar
saw the stone cut out of the mountain.
This Mountain was the Mountain of God and his Greatness.
God had brought to pass these prophesies and if anyone doubts whether the
Bible is real, they must be Ignorant as a box of rocks. God had, as I said, took his son, just as Abraham took his son to
the top of the Mountain, God was to offer himself up as the supreme sacrifice for the sins of the world. Here is where John
the Baptist took the place of Elijah and Jesus took the Place of Moses and instead of God destroying the word and bringing
in the seven years of tribulation, Jesus and John the Baptist took judgment upon themselves and that is a clear picture where
Mercy rejoices against judgment. Yes Jesus took the first three and half of the tribulation and nailed it to the Cross. this
was foretold by Daniel:
Daniel 8:11-14 (KJV) Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host,
and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
[12] And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression,
and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Christ was that daily sacrifice that was cast down into Hell, and was cut off
for the sins of the people.
Satan was, in his height of Glory at the Cross-. He had thought that he had
ridden the earth of God and he, Satan had set himself up in the Temple, both that was made of hands and also he set himself
up in the Temple of God, which is the Heart and he magnified himself.
[13] Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain
saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give
both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
[14] And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall
the sanctuary be cleansed.
As I have stated that Jesus ministry lasted about three and half years, this
when we total the above days mentioned in the fourteenth verse comes to about three and half years. Clearly we can see that
the Devil was cast out of the Hearts of those who called upon the Lord.
In that time; the Temple was Cleansed, and the Father; the Son, and the Holy
Ghost; now could come to the temple that; God desired to dwell in from the beginning of Time; when he walked in the Garden
of Eden with his Creation.
Now the Devil has been cast out of the Temple of God forever and has no access
to God and his Throne. Praise the Lord.

[8] Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest
be righteous?
Isaiah 14:27 (KJV) For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul
it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Galatians 3:17 (KJV) And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed
before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the
promise of none effect.
[6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart
of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Romans 8:35-39 (KJV) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
[36] As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are
accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that
loved us.
[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate
us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Galatians 5:16-18 (KJV) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall
not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
[17] For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
[18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
1 Peter 1:22 (KJV) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1 John 5:8 (KJV) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit,
and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he
that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2 Cor. 12:1-10 (KJV) It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I
will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
This verse reveals that no flesh should Glory in the presence of God.
1 Cor. 1:29 (KJV) That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Christ asked the Father to Glorify Him with the Glory that he had with the
Father before the world was.
John 17:1-26 (KJV) These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven,
and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
God had through Christ created mankind, and all living things; that was to occupy
this Earth.
God did this through, and in his Son Jesus Christ.
Col. 1:16 (KJV) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and
that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
were created by him, and for him:
Satan had been created by God and adorned and was given the Earth to exist on.
Satan roamed this Earth, and the wisdom that God the father gave him; he took,
and made himself a kingdom on this earth, and took the dominion of it, and caused; through his craftiness; a third of the
other Angels to fall prey to his devices.
Satan Glorified himself, and made for himself an institution upon this Earth.
Satan began to exalt himself with the help of his followers; to the point that; he thought; he himself was God.
In one sense; he was the God of this world
He had caused the Earth to become void of understanding; This understanding was
of Gods knowledge.
There was no room for God's Love in the Earth; in that Era.
I believe that when this World was created that God made more than just Adam
did.
Genesis 1:26-28 (KJV) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Notice that he added the plural; Them.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
God had made the Earth and had placed male and female upon the earth and blessed
them and told them to multiply and replenish the earth. God wanted to replace Satan with his creation of individuals
that was made in his Image, His Image was Christ Jesus that died on the Cross.
Hebrews 1:2-3 (KJV) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom
he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Notice he said the Worlds; Speaking of The existence of more than one world.
Yes he gave to Satan the existence of the world and he roamed on it, He, Satan
corrupted it and made it void, and without form.
Which is to say; it had lost its purpose.
The earth at this stage, was not giving shape or Glory to God the Father.
Satan took the knowledge that God gave him, and set up for himself intuitions;
such as we have today.
Like that of Harvard; Yale, and many more in our society; which one today can
of the wisdom of this world gain access by craftiness exceed to the high mountains of success. When Satan took Jesus up into
a exceeding high mountain, that mountain was the credentials that he offered Eve as he appeared to her in the Garden of Eden.
Satan offered to her the same offer that he offered to Jesus, He got her to bow down to his wisdom, By her doing so, Satan
took her desire of God away and replaced it with a desire to succeed in a worldly environment. This environment would elevate
one up the ladder to success. Eve could be in control of her own destiny, or, as one would believe. Satan was not able to;
just go to her in the garden, and say: "eat this apple”
Satan had more there than man has realized over the centuries. Satan had set
himself up in such a way that he could deceive one into thinking that no matter what one did they wouldn’t have to answer
to The God of all Creations, which is God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ. Today we have access to the Father by Faith
and the Spirit and we too have before us the same Spirit of Satan called the Messenger of Satan that speaks to us Satan, as
he was in the Garden of God, is still speaking very loud to individuals Satan through his craftiness is still deceiving many.
What a sad situation we find ourselves in as we listen to Satan’s voice. We are not any different from that; when Eve
stood there, and took his advice.
We too stand in Paradise. Will we too say, like Paul, “I choose to serve
God and continue to bear the afflictions of the cross“. Yes Paul saw Christ, whether in the body or out of the body,
he could not tell. We too can see Christ through his writings, if we will not listen to men or women who lie in wait to deceive.
many, through their craftiness, are trying to deceive us. Do men want to Glorify
the Father or do they Glorify themselves? The bible says that we shall know them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:16-21 (KJV) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes
of thorns, or figs of thistles?
[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.
[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.
[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
What is the fruit that we should bear, and that we should look for in others,
and in our lives?
Are we bearing the marks of the Cross?. In the letter to the Colossians, Paul
declared what the fruits would be.
[24] Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind
of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
Paul realized that for him to be able to Glorify the God that he served, he
had to continue to bear the afflictions of the Cross. Satan took, with his anger, set out to destroy the Works of God from
the beginning of the Creation and vented it on Jesus at the Cross. When Jesus defeated him with the Love of The Father, This
was the power of God, the cross is where he, Satan was kicked out of Access to Heaven and Paradise, Satan now has no access
to the Paradise like he had when he approached Eve there in the Garden. Christ made a open show of him and defeated him, he
was kicked out forever, never to have access to anything that occupies the realm of faith and Love of God the Father. He has
no authority anymore and is cast down from Heaven unto this world, the place he chose for himself and this world will, and
I repeat, this world will cease to exist.
2 Peter 3:10 (KJV) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also
and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Satan knows that his time is short and that he is condemned to the fire of
Outer Darkness and he is trying to delay that by trying to stop all those who come to Christ, He knows that when Gods house
becomes filled the end will come.
Luke 14:23 (KJV) And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways
and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
God wants to be Glorified by having his House filled with children who have
been born of the Spirit and who choose to serve the Lord and walk in the ways of the Lord.
Satan knows that the Gospel must be preached unto all nations.
Matthew 24:14 (KJV) And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Today some preach with contention; wanting to add to our misery, and other preach
for strife; while others preach for love.
What is the testimony of our life. Paul said that he would gladly preach the
Gospel. Why did Paul give up the fame that he had under the Law, before he met Christ on the road to Damascus?. He saw what
was in the life of one of those Christians. He was there when they stoned Stephen to death and heard the cries of this Holy
Ghost filled man of God. I believe it shook the very foundations of his Soul and he could not sleep for thinking that there
must be some Power that he had not gotten in the School where Gamaiel taught. He had not heard such a thing like this. After
all why would anyone believe in this Jesus and lay down and say to those who were stoning him.. “lay not this sin to
their charge”.... This shook the foundations of his soul and took his sleep from him.. Paul realized that to have Power
to lay down one’s life in this manner that he had to gain access to God by some way that he did not know of. God had
showed the Power that Christ had as he hung on that cross and died for the sins of the world. That this power cannot be given
from the wisdom of this world, but only can come from God the Father. Love, How do we draw a picture of it? How can we explain
it. It can take the worst of sinners and change them into the most lovable people. Love that comes from the Father did and
will cause us to lay down our lives so that others can have the blessed hope that we experience. This is what the revelation
of God that Paul had received when he was caught up. He could not write it or draw a picture of it.. He only could offer himself
to the afflictions that Satan threw at him. You see love will take you into the strangest places that you never dreamed that
you would go.
Isaiah 42:16 (KJV) And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These
things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
If you think that you know God and Hate your brother, you are in darkness.
Song 3:10 (KJV) He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof
of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Yes Jesus paved the way for Paul and all the rest of us to follow. The pillars
of truth are like silver and the foundation is liken unto Gold...the beauty of the love of God is like the adorning of that
of purple. The vale was purple that led man into the Holiest of all. The way to God the Father was Paved with Love. All
this was for the Children of the Most High.
The Love of Christ surpasses all of the wisdom of this world and cannot be
bought with silver and gold. It is free and all you have to do to experience what Paul experienced is believe upon and receive
Christ as the Sacrifice for your sins. He will come into your Presence and He will take you into the Presence of the Father
and will seal you with his Holy Ghost and will present you to the Father Holy and Blameless.
Do yourself a favor; do not go after the rudiments of this world. Accept Jesus
as your lord and savior today. He will wipe away the penalty of your sins. That penalty is death and separation from God the
Father. Remember that Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire.
Rev. 20:14 (KJV) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This
is the second death.
We are dead because of the penalty of sin that was brought upon us by the fall
of Adam and Eve.
A curse was brought upon all humanity: Jesus took our sins.
Jesus took the curse and nailed it to the cross so that you and I can rise up
with him and become the sons of God . Just like Jesus was the first fruits of those who slept. we too find ourselves asleep
and we need to awake out of sleep.. We need to let the light of the Gospel of Christ shine unto the world so they might as
Paul was ....bearing the reproaches of the cross put there by Satan.
Paul was carrying the Cross continually; through the community, and throughout
the world.
Paul carried the cross that others could after he was gone to be with the lord...would
see from the life that he lived; they too; would be bearing the reproaches of the cross; that others that followed would find
Christ in their time remaining.
Jesus was in the flesh, and dwelt among man, and one would think that; had Jesus
not went to the cross ;that Satan would have trapped Jesus in the flesh,
This could be a reasonable fact if; it was not for one other fact.
The fact that Christ was to die for the sins of the world would have been accomplished
anyway. Jesus would not have lived in the flesh forever, you see he came in the flesh and like us, he would have died and
the flesh that he had occupied would have died. Was it that he had to go to the Cross: to set men free from their sins?
I would think that he could have accomplished his mission either way.
After all, Jesus said that no man taketh his life,
John 10:18 (KJV) No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I
have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Jesus could have given his life anytime. The reason he went to the Cross was
to make a open show of Satan.
Col. 2:15 (KJV) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew
of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
God always does everything openly and does not say or do anything in secret.
[3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,
and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high;
Yes he purged our sins and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High.
You and I, he took with him through faith and one day soon he will come to catch us up and we will be with him forever. 1
Thes. 4:13-18 (KJV) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
It is my desire that you will find comfort in this writing of the words of
this book. I believe for years that the lord wanted me to write, but every time I started to write I just seem to go blank,
now that I have for so many years sought a deeper revelation of God's word, I believe now is the time for me to impart to
you what God has given to me from on High. I have prayed that God to give me a double portion of his wisdom and his Love.
The Holy Ghost is the Wisdom of God the Father and it has brought to this world the Love of God the father. Satan took that
Love to the Hill called Golgotha and with him took two more like us and gave each of them a choice. Jesus said that he had
no other choice and laid down his flesh for our Sins. The other railed on him and said to him, “ get me out of my troubles
and sentence and return me to the ground below and let me finish out my life on this world, he was saying I am not ready to
accept you as savior right now and have too much to live for. The other on the other side of Christ bowed and said”
I am guilty of all that they say that I am guilty and I am guilty of more than what they say of me. I deserve to die and all
I ask is that you have mercy and compassion and let me die with you and that you will remember me when you, Christ come into
your kingdom.
Which one of the malefactors is You? Satan has took us and continues to nail
us to the cross in our everyday lives and has made us a spectacle in the world and the whole world hates you and I and has
put us side by side of the Christ that is crucified and is loudly proclaiming to us. “Come down from there”!
All you need to do; for us to pull you from the cross; that you bear is; to deny the one you have put
your trust.
