I will give him the bright and the morning star-the key to their spiritual success.......
Rev.2:28; 22:16 "And I will give unto him the morning star. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright and the morning star".
2Cor. 4:6 "Because the God who said, 'Out of darkness, light shall shine....."
The "new eye" which the remnant is to "go get" is a new way of seeing that is spoken of symbolically in the Revelation scripture passages above as the "bright and the morning star". Getting this "star" is the Remnant's key to spiritual success.
The meaning of this "morning star" and "new eye" is hinted at in the 2 Corinthians passage above by the phrase, "out of darkness, light shall shine". Paul is referring to Genesis 1 where God said "Light be!", and light came forth out of darkness. This is a spirit law that holds true today.
Darkness and silence are the same thing, so in the natural, the darkness of nighttime is a period of silence. This then is God's time to "shine forth"; ie, His light of spiritual revelation shines out of the darkness/silence of night. Darkness is the deepest in the early morning hours, so the light of spiritual revelation, symbolized by "bright and morning star" comes forth at this time.
This has nothing to do with dreams. Not only outward silence is necessary, such as that which is the normal condition of night, but more importantly, so is inward-mental-silence. The mind must also learn to be silent.
The mind loves to run to and fro with cacophonous surmisings, speculations (what if's), plans for the "future", he said/she said's, music, and etc. This is what the world is-distraction and mental occupation in things that are temporary; ie, not important. Distractions are part and parcel of the beast system which must be overcome by those of the Remnant:
Rev. 14:11b "And they have no rest day or night who do homage unto the beast and his image or if anyone receives the mark of his name".
The quieting of the mind is not to be done by "soul power". The emphasis today on yoga and meditation is lying deception, which will produce seemingly "peaceful" results in the mind and/or body, which are FALSE SYMPTOMS FROM THE ADVERSARY DESIGNED AS A SNARE and which eventually leads to the second death/lake of fire, because it is "trying to go up by another way", which Jesus warned against. It is trying to obtain spirituality/godlikeness through human effort. Self consciousness-SIN- cannot inherit the Kingdom of God and righteousness.
The experience of this gift of nighttime spiritual revelation pictured in symbolic language as a "bright and morning star", is the key to spiritual success. The Father is very patient with those He is dealing with in gaining this gift, until they "get it". This is a step on the ladder into the spirituals, which one must experience in order to mature and become a spiritual adult. It is learning the practice of gathering while it is still dark.

The Rest is My Fiancee'
He's the man I've been waiting for-My Son, the extremist.......
(This is the third in a series of posts of which there are seven in all. If anyone who reads this wants to understand this particular article, you must go back to the previous two. The first was "To dispel any myths" and the second was, "Overcome the woman who tries to bury him".)
In the 6th chapter of John, Jesus had a long discourse in a synagogue in Capernaum, the gist of which was "bread from heaven" and "eating His flesh and drinking His blood". More importantly, He says some things which bring out the truth of the Spirit given title and subtitile of this article.
John 6:37, 39, 44, 45b, 65 "All that which the Father is giving Me, unto Me will have come.....That of all that which He has given Me I should lose nothing......No one can come unto Me, except the Father who sent Me draw him.....Everyone who has heard of the Father and learned, comes to Me.....No one can come unto Me, except it have been given him of the Father".
John 6:60, 61, 65, 66 "Many of His disciples therefore when they heard (about eating His flesh and drinking His blood) said,'HARD IS THIS DISCOURSE, WHO CAN HEAR IT?!' But Jesus knowing within Himself that His disciples were murmuring concerning this, said unto them, 'Does this cause you to stumble? The spirit it is that gives life, the flesh profits nothing: the declarations which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.' BECAUSE OF THIS MANY FROM AMONG HIS DISCIPLES WENT AWAY BACK, AND NO LONGER WITH HIM WERE WALKING."
In the above title the word "rest" is Remnant, and "My fiancee" is Jesus' "wife to be".
The millions of professing christians in this country and throughout the world ARE NOT TO BE A PART OF JESUS' WIFE; ie, "bride" or "body" of Christ. This is true because the crowds and multitudes WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL JESUS. He didn't come to bring "peace on earth", but a SWORD, which is THE WORD THAT DIVIDES/SEPARATES/MAKES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FALSE AND TRUE. The Father is not calling the multitudes. If the crowds are flocking to the meetings, something is wrong.
How interesting that Jesus' "fiancee"-wife-to-be-is spoken of in the subtitle as "male": "He's" the "man" I've been waiting for- My "son" the extremist.
The "femaleness" of "fiancee" or wife to be, has to do with a submissive attitude, wherein Jesus is Lord over all areas of life and following Him wherever He goes. However, the character or nature is "male" as that is the "face"presented to/in the world. Female toward God and male to the world.
The word "extremist" is a mocking jab at the world's view of a True christian: "extremists and fanatics". Anyone who is non compromising and expresses firmness and strength of purpose in knowing and expressing truth is considered an extremist, not only to the world, but especially to the wind-tossed, two-souled, "I'm certain of uncertainty" crowd of professors.
Those drawn to Christ by the Father are few in number. Many think they "have some choice" in the matter; that man has the inherent ability to choose or not to choose to follow Christ. But this is false. GOD IS ALWAYS THE INITIATOR AND MAN IS RESPONDER.
John 15:16 "You have not chosen Me, but I CHOSE YOU AND PLACED YOU".
Man thinks his "choosing" was initiated by him, but his "choice" is actually A RESPONSE TO GOD'S DRAWING WHICH HE DOES NOT KNOW OR PERCEIVE BY HIS MIND AND WHICH "BY PASSES" HIS CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS GOD'S SOVEREIGN ACT OF CHOICE, SHOWING FORTH HIS "ELECTION" OF MERCY. He chooses becauses He chooses.
This is one of the reasons why there are thousands and thousands "trying" to live the christian life. They haven't been drawn by the Father. They have responded to an emotional appeal which effects the reason: "Don't you want to have a better life?" messages. Like the big "crusades" on television where hundreds "respond to the invitation making a decision for Christ", and after "consulting with a counselor" are told to "attend the church of your choice".
BUT THEY KNOW NOT THE "DECISION" IS PRESENT TENSE CONTINUOUS AND INVOLVES THE LOSS OF THEIR OWN LIFE IN THE PROCESS. They are not taught this because those who "preach" in these things don't know the truth themselves. If they did, no one would show up, let alone "come forward", because self consciousness likes itself too much.
Jesus said, MAKE DISCIPLES, not converts or believers. But these people who are involved in their "cathedrals", "temples", "mega churches", "revivals", and "crusades" (a word fallen out of favor nowadays....),DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE DISCIPLES, they are too busy making money hand-over-fist and laughing up their well tailored sleeves at the gullible suckers who believe their junk. They present a pious face to the world, but inwardly they are soul-stealing, ravenous wolves, and white grave stones full of dead mens bones.
God is building His Remnant which are few, who eventually become the "body/bride" of Christ. There are yet some things the remnant must have revealed to it, one of which is the title of the next post: "Go get a new eye".........

Overcome the Woman Who Tries To Bury Him
Who is the woman and who is "him"?
1Kings 21:25,26 "But indeed there was none like Ahab who sold himself to the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh-WHOM JEZEBEL HIS WIFE GOADED ON, so that he did very abominably in going after the manufactured gods...."
Rev.2:18a,20-26 "And unto the messenger of the Assembly in Thyatira write.......Nevertheless I have against you that you suffer the WOMAN (or your wife) Jezebel, she who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and leading astray my own servants to commit lewdness and eat idol sacrifices; and I gave her time that she might repent, and she wills not to repent out of her lewdness. Lo! I cast her into a bed and them who are committing adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent out of her works; and her children will I slay with death; and all the Assemblies shall get to know that I am He that searches reins and hearts, and will give to each one of you according to your works. BUT UNTO YOU I SAY, THE REST who are in Thyatira as many as have not come to know the deep things of satan (as they say), I do not cast upon you any other burden; nevertheless what you have hold fast till I shall have come. HE THAT OVERCOMES (this woman) and keeps throughout MY works (and not hers), I will give unto him authority over the nations; and he shall shepherd them with a scepter (rod) of iron-as vessels of earthenware are dashed in pieces...."
As Jezebel was the power that goaded and pushed and controlled Ahab, so likewise the spirit of Jezebel controls the compromising, pagan, heathenistic,wussified, monstrous, harlot, abomination of an Assembly, that presents herself with a smiley face, speaking "kindness-sweetness-and-light" to the blind unbelieving culture of this day. She claims to be the "Bride of Christ", but she's no such thing. She is a whore who is deep in fornication with the darkness of this world, while simultaneously spouting "God is Love". She is the religious mirror reflection of the rebellious spirit of this age which began in earnest in the 1960's.
The "sweetness and light gospel" which she preaches and teaches to her "pew sitting" followers has been, because of her fornication with the culture, demon filtered-offered in sacrifice to the idolatrous self worshipping culture-before she feeds it to her children. She feeds them a world compromising-never-use-the-word-sin-non-offensive-musn't-hurt-anyones-feelings-"gospel".
She uses "marketing technics" to sell her "goods"to build up her "megas". She takes polls to find out what the people want and caters her pap accordingly. Worst of all, she removes the offence of the true gospel and makes it easy for people to believe. By doing so she is a soul stealer; making people believe something about themselves which isn't true, thereby insuring that they will have to go through the correction of the second death-the lake of fire and brimstone. It's one thing to say, "I don't believe", but it is quite another to say,"I believe" and to find out you really didn't, after it's too late, all because someone who "cut the legs off the true gospel" by telling you how easy it was to become a christian. There are thousands upon thousands of these and they are called HER CHILDREN in the Rev. scripture passage above.
Note! They are HER CHILDREN, not God's. They are her progeny, "birthed" from her "gospel", not the true gospel. All they who follow her "easybelievism" must experience the second death/lake of fire and brimstone. This is what the scripture means when God says, "and her children will I slay with death".
However there are some who will not be buried by this compromising mask of unbelief juggernaut. These are the "him" of the title who"overcome the woman". They are described in the above scripture passage as "THE REST who are in Thyatira". The "rest" speaks of "remnant". This then leads to the next saying, which is the title of the next post: "The Rest is My Fiancee'"........

To Dispel Any Myths
Dispel: To drive away by, or as if by scattering.
John 2:13-17" And near was the passover of the Jews; and Jesus went up unto Jerusalem. And He found in the temple them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money changers sitting. And making a scourge out of rushes, all of them thrust he forth out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and the money changers small coins poured He forth, and the tables He overturned; and unto them who were selling the doves He said,' Take these things hence! Be not making the House of My Father a house of merchandise!"
The historical event described in the above scripture passage is also being carried out in the present day by the Lord Jesus, against those who have likewise made the Assembly (pictured here by Jerusalem), a house of merchandise. She, the Assembly, will not correct herself, so Jesus uses His scourge/whip/rod of correction-the adversary-in the form of civil authority and other adversarial instruments, to purge the Assembly of it's turning of herself into a house of merchandise (commerce), just like the world.
Rev.2:21 ".....and I gave her time that she might repent, AND SHE WILLS NOT TO REPENT OUT OF HER LEWDNESS....."
She's mixed herself-she has commerce with; commits fornication/adulterous intercourse with-the surrounding culture and is blind to it, so the only means of correcting her must come from outside herself, by means of force/coersion.
She insists on "engaging" the culture in it's myths, which are numerous; two of which are Darwinism and evolution, which GOD HAS NOT CALLED HER TO DO.
God is not "measuring" the culture at present, for it's time is not yet, for other things must occur before that happens. The culture is presently being left alone to "stew in it's own juices":
Rev.11:2 "....and the court that is outside the Sanctuary, cast you outside and DO NOT MEASURE IT, because it has been given unto the nations....."
This "court that is outside", is the unbelieving culture of this age. "Measure" means God's standard of holiness. The culture is not to be dealt with -"measured"- at this present time, and the Assembly, by trying to "engage" it in "dialog" is DECEIVED AND DISOBEYING GOD. When she "dialogs", has commerce with/fornicates with/has adulterous intercourse with the culture, she becomes infected and transfers the infection TO THE REST OF THE ASSEMBLY WHO "SIT IN THE PEWS", listening to their "preaching" and "teaching". This is what the scripture calls "meat sacrificed to idols". (Rev.2:14, 20), and "her children will I slay with death"(Rev. 2:23).
The same thing happens when a believer watches a violent and/or sex filled, profanity laced movie. Those images and words remain with the individual, and many times are the subject of "conversations around the water cooler", passing the infection around. They say within themselves, "it's only a movie", but they don't realize it's a form of idolatry which stirs up emotions, WHICH GOD HAS NOT STIRRED. Many think they have "christian liberty" and can involve themselves in such things because "there is no condemnation". But the rest of the verse says, "to them who are IN CHRIST JESUS". They who involve themselves in such things ARE NOT TRUE CHRISTIANS, no matter what their profession is.
Let everyone that names the Name of Christ, depart from iniquity.

Fast Disarming the Populace Part 2
A watering down project.....
The watering down project will create doubt in some. This is because they-the populace/Assembly-are female in their outlook. They are emotional and "feelings" oriented. To them, uncertainty is a virtue; they think it is humility and to them, anyone who expresses certainty of belief is arrogant. This of course is subtle Jezebelism-the female trying to remake the "arrogant" male in her image. She wants the certainty of maleness to be watered down like she is. She says,"How can you be so sure?!" Of course this is the adversary speaking out of her mouth, essentially saying the age old phrase, "Has God said?"
(When I speak of female here, I don't mean just the "female of the species", but all, whether male or female, who are emotionally led. That is why she is called Jezebel in Rev.2.)
The female challenge of the male is a disguised method of opportunity for the male to become even stronger and more certain in what he believes. It is actually a method of building up and strengthening of the Remnant-those who are destined to experience the first resurrection. The Remnant are the people "who know their God", who "shall be strong and do exploits". Dan11:32
The female, being the embodiment of darkness/earth (explained in previous posts), appears in the world as opposer/opposition, but is at it's core, a strengthening instrument used by the Father to bring many sons into glory. Heb.2:10
As we approach the summing up or culmination of all things, it is necessary for the difference between the tares/wheat and sheep/goats to become more obvious/prominent. As Jesus said of the tares and wheat, "let them grow together until the time of harvest when the wheat is gathered into the barn and the tares are burned in the fire". This is the manifestation of the True believers and the false confessors. True believers know the meaning of suffering by willingly submitting themselves to it in the school of Christ while they live in their physical body. False ones mouth the truth while simultaneously trying to escape it's work in their own life. Hence, the True ones, because of their willing submission in following the Pattern Son in His sufferings and death, experience the first death while alive physically and have the priviledge of also experiencing the first resurrection, thereby being immune to the second death and it's "fire and brimstone". The latter is the realm of Spirit in which the "timid, faithless and unbelieving (along with others-Rev.21:8)" receive correction after departing their flesh, because they avoided all opportunities for correction while they were still in their physical body. The "lake of fire and brimstone" is also called by Jesus, "outside" and "outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth".
The false ones claim they are the real believers. It has always been so since Cain. They offer up the works of their own hands which were not initiated by God, but religious "flesh". They emphasize "good works" so that they can get approval from the surrounding heathenistic, blind, pagan culture. "They like to use the synagogue too often". By that I mean they are like their forebears, the pharisees. They over emphasize works and neglect faith and a pure heart, which are the only foundation of good works. Their works point to themselves and not to Christ. By doing so they "toot their own horn"; their works declaring "we are the true christians. Look at all we are doing to heal the world and solve it's problems. We're not tied down to all that doctrine stuff that others are. We are here to make the world a better place".
But all this is the goats saying, "Lord! Lord!' But the Lord says unto these:
Matt.25:41,46 "Depart from Me accursed ones! Into the age abiding fire which has been prepared for the adversary and his messengers.....And these shall go away into age abiding correction......"
No one can escape God's process of all being conformed to the image of His Son, which is what man being made in the image of God means. This entails a process of correction or transformation and earthly physical life is the trial period where this is to be completed. However, thousands spend their earthly life in avoiding correction and the consequences of behavior at all costs. So after they leave the physical body, they are sent to a "realm" where their life spent in lawlessness places them, and there they will be given the correction they avoided while in their physical body. This is what the scripture means when it says "they are judged according to their works" Rev.20:13.
The good works of the True worshippers are done in SECRET. They don't announce their good works in the media, nor do they declare them on their income tax forms, for to do so is to get an earthly reward. They don't do great earth shaking things to get the praise of men. Like the woman in the temple who gave her last coin, they spend their lives in small secret acts of kindness and compassion. They let not their left hand know what their right hand is doing.........
The watering down project will create doubt in some. This is because they-the populace/Assembly-are female in their outlook. They are emotional and "feelings" oriented. To them, uncertainty is a virtue; they think it is humility and to them, anyone who expresses certainty of belief is arrogant. This of course is subtle Jezebelism-the female trying to remake the "arrogant" male in her image. She wants the certainty of maleness to be watered down like she is. She says,"How can you be so sure?!" Of course this is the adversary speaking out of her mouth, essentially saying the age old phrase, "Has God said?"
(When I speak of female here, I don't mean just the "female of the species", but all, whether male or female, who are emotionally led. That is why she is called Jezebel in Rev.2.)
The female challenge of the male is a disguised method of opportunity for the male to become even stronger and more certain in what he believes. It is actually a method of building up and strengthening of the Remnant-those who are destined to experience the first resurrection. The Remnant are the people "who know their God", who "shall be strong and do exploits". Dan11:32
The female, being the embodiment of darkness/earth (explained in previous posts), appears in the world as opposer/opposition, but is at it's core, a strengthening instrument used by the Father to bring many sons into glory. Heb.2:10
As we approach the summing up or culmination of all things, it is necessary for the difference between the tares/wheat and sheep/goats to become more obvious/prominent. As Jesus said of the tares and wheat, "let them grow together until the time of harvest when the wheat is gathered into the barn and the tares are burned in the fire". This is the manifestation of the True believers and the false confessors. True believers know the meaning of suffering by willingly submitting themselves to it in the school of Christ while they live in their physical body. False ones mouth the truth while simultaneously trying to escape it's work in their own life. Hence, the True ones, because of their willing submission in following the Pattern Son in His sufferings and death, experience the first death while alive physically and have the priviledge of also experiencing the first resurrection, thereby being immune to the second death and it's "fire and brimstone". The latter is the realm of Spirit in which the "timid, faithless and unbelieving (along with others-Rev.21:8)" receive correction after departing their flesh, because they avoided all opportunities for correction while they were still in their physical body. The "lake of fire and brimstone" is also called by Jesus, "outside" and "outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth".
The false ones claim they are the real believers. It has always been so since Cain. They offer up the works of their own hands which were not initiated by God, but religious "flesh". They emphasize "good works" so that they can get approval from the surrounding heathenistic, blind, pagan culture. "They like to use the synagogue too often". By that I mean they are like their forebears, the pharisees. They over emphasize works and neglect faith and a pure heart, which are the only foundation of good works. Their works point to themselves and not to Christ. By doing so they "toot their own horn"; their works declaring "we are the true christians. Look at all we are doing to heal the world and solve it's problems. We're not tied down to all that doctrine stuff that others are. We are here to make the world a better place".
But all this is the goats saying, "Lord! Lord!' But the Lord says unto these:
Matt.25:41,46 "Depart from Me accursed ones! Into the age abiding fire which has been prepared for the adversary and his messengers.....And these shall go away into age abiding correction......"
No one can escape God's process of all being conformed to the image of His Son, which is what man being made in the image of God means. This entails a process of correction or transformation and earthly physical life is the trial period where this is to be completed. However, thousands spend their earthly life in avoiding correction and the consequences of behavior at all costs. So after they leave the physical body, they are sent to a "realm" where their life spent in lawlessness places them, and there they will be given the correction they avoided while in their physical body. This is what the scripture means when it says "they are judged according to their works" Rev.20:13.
The good works of the True worshippers are done in SECRET. They don't announce their good works in the media, nor do they declare them on their income tax forms, for to do so is to get an earthly reward. They don't do great earth shaking things to get the praise of men. Like the woman in the temple who gave her last coin, they spend their lives in small secret acts of kindness and compassion. They let not their left hand know what their right hand is doing.........
Fast Disarming the Populace
A watering down project.....
Matt. 13:10-12 "And the disciples coming near said to Him,' Wherefore in parables are you speaking to them?' And He answering said,' Because unto you it has been given to get to know the sacred secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens-whereas unto them has it not been given. For whosoever has, it shall be given to him and he shall be made to abound, BUT WHOEVER HAS NOT, EVEN WHAT HE HAS (what he thinks he has) SHALL BE TAKEN FROM HIM'".
The "populace" of the title refers to the Assembly, which in it's present day condition thinks it has the truth, but doesn't, and the "truth" which it thinks it has is beginning to be taken away.
The sacred secrets or "mysteries" of the Kingdom of the Heavens are only revealed to THOSE WHOM THE DISCIPLES REPRESENT, WHO, LIKE THEY ARE FEW IN NUMBER. Then in turn, they reveal the secrets to the populace in the Fathers timing.
The "truths" which are taken away from the populace are their "weapons" which they are disarmed of, through a process called a "watering down project"; which is completed in a short span of time as inferred by the word "fast".
These "truths" which the populace has come to trust in have not come by revelation of the Spirit, but by reason guided study and much mental exertion. One of these "truths" has to do with the "return" of Christ.
There is much speaking about a "second coming" of Christ off in a distant future, but the so called second coming was actually initiated with the coming of the Holy Spirit recorded in the beginning of Acts and is an ongoing occurrance to a select few on down to today. The outpouring of the Spirit IS THE SECOND COMING, because the Holy Spirit is THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, the same Spirit that indwelled Jesus in His earthly sojourn, and is also the Spirit of the Father, otherwise Jesus could not have done anything. ("I can of my own self do nothing")
John14:2-3, 16-18, 21, 23 "In the house of My Father are many dwellings; or else I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, AGAIN I AM COMING and will take you home to Myself, that where I am you also may be......And I will request the Father and another Advocate (helper) will He give unto you, that He may be with you age-abidingly; the Spirit of Truth.......I will not leave you bereft, I AM COMING TO YOU......He that has My commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves Me; and he that loves Me shall be loved by My Father and I will love him AND WILL MANIFEST MYSELF UNTO HIM....And My Father will love him AND UNTO HIM WILL-WE-COME AND AN ABODE WITH-HIM-WILL-WE-MAKE".
The Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit are ONE AND THE SAME. The "Advocate", "comforter", "helper"; "I am coming and will take you home to Myself"; "the Spirit of Truth"; "I am coming to you"; "I will manifest Myself to you"; "We will come and an abode with him will we make"- ALL REFER TO ONE THING, THE "COMING", "APPEARANCE", OR "MANIFESTATION" OF CHRIST-AS-SPIRIT TO/IN THE INDIVIDUAL, WHICH IS THE "SECOND COMING" OF CHRIST.
In the above scripture passages Jesus was not talking to the multitude, but to the 12 disciples, who are symbolic types of a LIMITED NUMBER of individuals, called "sons of God" who ONLY experience this "second coming" IN THEMSELVES. This second appearing/coming is NOT TO THE POPULACE OR ASSEMBLY. There is an appearance or coming to the populace/assembly, which is yet to be, but it is not going to be in the manner that they presently think they "see"; ie, according to the "truth" they hold. The latter appearance/coming/manifestation of Christ is the "third" one. Christ "comes" in this third coming through means of MANY SONS, who "appear" throughout the earth wherein "every eye shall see HIM (Him in the sons), Rev.1:7. These sons are described in Rev. 14:1-4 by the number 144,000.
Another so called "truth" that the populace is going to have taken away has to do with resurrection.
2Tim.2:16-18 " But profane pratings shun; for unto more ungodliness will they force themselves on; and their discourse as a gangrene will eat it's way; of whom are Hymanaeus and Philetus, men who concerning the truth have erred, affirming a resurrection already to have taken place, and are overthrowing the faith of some".
There are two resurrections; the first is presently being carried out in those who are called sons. The first resurrection is not a raising of the physical body, but is spiritual, in that it occurs while the individual is still alive in his physical body and is when the individual overcomes all things and sits with Christ on His throne as He overcame all things and sits with the Father in His throne: Rev.3:21. Of course the throne is symbolic and not a literal fancy chair, but is a sphere of authority given to these individuals. A description of this condition of being-and that is what it is; not a "place"- is given in:
Rev.20:4-6 "And I saw thrones and THEY SAT UPON THEM ("they" are those who have overcome all things and experienced the first resurrection-otherwise they wouldn't be pictured as "sitting on thrones"), and sentence of judgment was given unto them and I (also)saw the souls of them who had been beheaded because of the witness of Jesus and because of the Word of God, (I also saw) such as had not done homage unto the wild beast or unto his image, nor had received the mark upon their forehead or upon their hand; AND THEY LIVED AND REIGNED WITH THE CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years were ended. THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION. Happy and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection; upon these the second death has no authority; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ and shall reign with Him for the thousand years".
So, not everyone is going to experience this first resurrection. The "placement" in this resurrection is determined by a willing attitude to follow the pattern of God's Pattern Son, the Lord Jesus, in His suffering and not loving one's own life until death. Only this attitude of determination will result in the condition of being described in the previous paragraph.
Matt. 13:10-12 "And the disciples coming near said to Him,' Wherefore in parables are you speaking to them?' And He answering said,' Because unto you it has been given to get to know the sacred secrets of the Kingdom of the Heavens-whereas unto them has it not been given.

The Assembly; in Four Acts
Act.1: Not self correctable.
(The decapitated presence of the Holy Spirit)
Act.2: No such thing as "senior" and "youth" pastor.
(The pulitzer prize for harlotry)
Act3: The gospel according to feelings.
(A flood of ungodliness)
Act4: For I'm the one who cares.
(Life affirming, visionary program)
The Assembly, being female, is not self correctable. As the physical female without a husband is more easily deceived, so likewise is the Assembly. ( 1Tim. 2:14)
The Assembly as she now exists, is not "connected" to her husband, but dwells "in His Presence". He cares and watches over her, but she is not "clean" and hence, is not following His lead; is not in submission to His leadership. He is her "head", but in her present condition she is a "headless body". She is not "in" spirit and spirit is not "in" her. Righteousness cannot dwell in a vessel full of impurities, which is the case of the present day Assembly. The temple of God has no agreement with idols, which is what the present Assembly is full of.
She has what she calls "senior pastors" and "youth pastors", of which there is no such thing in God's purposes. She has "very reverends", "most reverends", "reverends", "fathers", "your holinesses", "cardinals", "bishops", and other such nicolaitan claptrap. She carries in her hand the "pulitzer prize for harlotry", which speaks of her works. She preaches the "gospel according to feelings" and ridicules the faithful remnant who cry out against the flood of ungodliness she has enveloped herself in.
She claims to have a "life affirming, visionary program" for the future which will be accepted by all who dwell in the earth. She claims to be "the only one who cares" for the poor and downtrodden of the earth. She says we must all lay aside our doctrinal differences and join hands together to solve all the world's problems. Thousands upon thousands shall be caught up in this "snare of goodness" before the indignation comes to the full. (Dan.11:36)
The only ones who will have eyes to see this harlot abomination are they "who make wise":
Dan.12:10 "Many will purify themselves and be made white and refined, but the lawless will act lawlessly and none of the lawless shall understand - BUT THEY WHO MAKE WISE; THE INSTRUCTORS; SHALL UNDERSTAND".
.....and the remnant who sigh and cry:
Ezek.9:3-4 " and the Glory of the God of Israel lifted itself up from off the Cherubim whereon it had been, unto the threshold of the house; and He called unto the man clothed with linen who had the scribe's inkholder by his side. Then said Yahweh unto him, pass along through the midst of the city- through the midst of Jerusalem- AND SET YOU A MARK UPON THE FOREHEADS OF THE MEN WHO ARE SIGHING AND CRYING OVER ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT ARE BEING DONE IN HER MIDST. But unto these others, said he in mine ears, pass along through the city after him and smite- let not your eye shield, neither have you pity; elder, young man and virgin, and little ones and women shall you slay utterly, BUT UNTO ANY MAN WHO HAS UPON HIM THE MARK, DO NOT YOU COME NEAR, and AT MY SANCTUARY BEGIN".
Rom.11:2-5 " God has not cast off His people whom He foreapproved. Or know you not in the account of Elijah what the scripture says, when he intercedes with God against Israel? 'Lord, your prophets have they slain, your alters have they overthrown, and I am left alone and they seek my life!' And what said unto him God's response? I HAVE LEFT FOR MYSELF SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO INDEED HAVE NOT BOWED A KNEE UNTO BAAL. Thus then in the present season also A REMNANT BY WAY OF AN ELECTION OF FAVOR HAS COME INTO BEING".
They that are caught up in this mess actually believe they are doing the Lords work, for God has given them a strong delusion/ an inward working of error, so that they will believe the lie.....

Some Sayings and Their Interpretations cont'd
Saying#5. "The present day assembly has put itself in a hole and can't get out without outside help". They are "in a hole" because they have "futurized" certain scriptures which are actually present day continuous. Most of these scriptures are in the book of Revelation.
They have put themselves into a "doctrinal hole" by their literalistic creeds and teachings and can only be lifted out of it by hearing the truth from someone outside their system; someone who has the spirit and not a degree issued by man.
There are four "teachings" which can be categorized under four headings, which they have mistakenly interpreted literally according to human reason and systematizing processes; the four, I will label A, B, C, and D.
A. "Get ready for the judgment day". These are false teachings having to do with a "final judgment, great white throne judgment, sheep and goat judgment" and scripture passages relating to such in Revelation, Daniel, and the Gospels.
B. "Announcing the negative". This is primarily the false teachings surrounding the "great tribulation" and the various "woes" found in Revelation..
C. "Personification of evil". This is false teachings surrounding the idea of "Anti-Christ, Beast/BeastS (sometimes they refer to it as beast and false prophet), the Mother of Harlots, and Babylon.
D. "God is tabernacling". This is the false teachings surrounding the scripture passages from Rev. 21 on to the end of the book: New Heavens/New Earth, "the tabernacle of God is with men", and etc.
All the events recorded by John in Revelation are actually CONTINUOUSLY OCCURRING IN SPIRIT. In spirit, "things" do not occur in chronological order "until a final event is reached". In spirit there is no such idea of a "future" where certain things progress towards an "end". That which is on-going continuous in spirit, is seen in the time dimension as progressive-a process; chronological- one thing happening after another, etc.
Saying#6. "And others.......a man alone stands". The "man alone" is not part of the Assembly. He is one of the "firstfruit" of 1 Cor. 15:23: "a firstfruit Christ", who experience the "first resurrection"; and Rev. 14:4: "These were redeemed from mankind as a firstfruit unto God and unto the Lamb" (See Rev.14:1-4). The process of this one's (and there is not only one) "resurrection" is described in the following seven ways, which I will not elaborate upon here other then to list some scripture passages, as I have written more extensively on this subject previously in earlier posts.
1. "Shut the door"
2. "Withdraw the influence"
3. "Leave behind the loved ones" (Lk. 14:26)
4. "Becoming transparent as glass" (Matt.5:8; Titus1:15;
1John 3:3)
5. "A startling sex change to none at all" (Matt. 19:5)
6. "Not influenced by men or women, because he is neither"
(Matt.22:29-30)
7. "High in Christ Jesus" (Rev. 3:21)
The last "saying" harks back to a previous post having to do with "stars" being brought down to earth.
Saying#7. "And others, the government has no jurisdiction over, so He (God) uses other means to bring them down." This is referring to the "christian stars" that the assembly worships and places on pedestals. In some instances the government will be God's instrument in bringing some of the "stars" to earth, because those same "stars" are misusing the money that comes into their coffers, while maintaining their "tax exempt"status. Others have no such government connection and the sins that they are involved in are more on the fornication/adultery/perversion type. So these latter "stars" will be brought down by others.

Some Sayings and Their Interpretations
Lk.14:16-24 "A certain man was making a great supper and invited many; and He sent out His servant at the hour of the supper to say to the invited, Be coming! Because now is it ready. And they all began one after another to excuse themselves. The first said unto him, a field have I bought and have need to go and see it; I request you hold me excused. And another said, five yoke of oxen have I bought and am going away to prove them; I request you hold me excused. And another said, a wife have I married and for this cause I cannot come. And going near, the servant reported to his Lord these things. Then, provoked to anger, the Master of the house said unto His servant, go out quickly into the broadways and streets of the city, and the destitute, and tried and blind and lame bring you in here. And the servant said, Lord! what you did order has been done, and yet there is room. And the Lord said unto the servant go out among the highways and fences and COMPEL them to come in that My house may be filled. For I say unto you, not one of those men who had been invited, shall taste of My supper"
Saying #1. "Road surfer; warrior/nobelman; help restore man to his proper place". The Lord God Who gives the great supper in the above scripture passage, has a servant, which is the Spirit of Elijah embodied in a man, who is a "road surfer; warrior nobelman" whose job it is to announce the supper; call the invited and "surf" the "broadways, streets, highways and fences", which are ways and patterns of thinking not in accordance with the thought of God. The servant "makes war" against these ways of thinking, exposing the demonic foundations thereof; a process which must be done in order to help restore man to his proper place. The supper has been ready since Jesus appeared on the earth, and is presently on going. The "invited ones" are the Jews, represented by the scribes, lawyers, pharisees, saducees, the religious leaders of that day, AND ALL OF THEIR DECENDENTS WHO HAVE THE SAME HIGH MINDED KNOW-IT-ALL ATTITUDE ON DOWN THROUGH HISTORY UNTO TODAY. As long as they insist on remaining in that attitude of mind, they can not "taste of God's supper", which is life in the Kingdom of God.
Saying#2."Their false civility helps solidify your (the writer's) arguments". False civility is the phoney niceness which those who are infected with Jezebelism present to the world, and is only removed (like a mask) when their "you offended me/hurt my feelings button" is pushed, which then reveals the true face of the beast Jezebel.
Saying#3. "A life spent on doughs - breads and cakes -is not a real life". Breads and cakes are "sweetness and light gospel"; the "power of positive thinking" gospel. Breads and cakes are "blown up" by heat-hot air. That's what this teaching/philosophy/preaching is-no meat and full of "hot air". "I'm ok, you're ok". Pious platitudes-sometimes delivered with the hands folded in front as though in prayer. Emotional, Jezebelistic, feel good, God-loves-you-and-so-do-I-claptrap. Making everyone feel good and comfortable in their sin. No reproving or rebuking, because"if everyone is ok, that's not necessary, right?" "After all, God accepts everyone just as they are doesn't He?" Yes, IF THERE IS A WILLINGNESS TO FORSAKE WHAT THEY WERE AT THE POINT OF ACCEPTANCE. Preaching/teaching that is all light and no darkness is not true gospel preaching/teaching. Just because God accepts you as you are, doesn't mean you are "ok" as you are. Yes, no one has to meet a certain standard of acceptance, for all have sinned. However, along with "acceptance" on God's part, there must be acknowledgment/willingness. Acknowledgment of sin, no matter what form it has taken in the life of the individual-drunkenness, wife and child abuse, homosexuality, perversion, etc; and willingness to turn away from those practices and manners of living AND DO THEM NO MORE. Christianity is LIFE. If you are still involved in sin and perverted practices, a christian you aint. Your life is proof that you love darkness rather than light because your deeds are still evil. God is not mocked.
Saying#4. "One with no passion is dead while he lives". In the letter to Sardis in Rev. 3 it says; I know your works that a name you have that you are living, and are dead." The state of passionlessness is identified by those who have no firm beliefs; are "fence straddlers"; who can see both sides of a question and can vociferously argue either side if called upon to do so; are prone to "situational ethics"-good and bad are determined by what the situation is, not according to any moral standard. They think they don't need Jesus because they are already good. (Rev. 3:17) They are neither hot nor cold. They tend to be highly educated and well off financially. These are the "last to come to the supper", as their state of being is mentioned last in the Lk. passage above, and is described as "among the highways and fences". This is high minded intellectualism coupled with "fence straddling". Any passion/firmness of belief/standards/convictions they may have once had has been "educated out of them". Therefore they have to be "reeducated" in a more strict way, by being "compelled". To compel is to constrain-to force by being restricted, limited, or having imposted stricture put upon. These "have their way made narrow" whether they like it or not; ie, against their will. Their highminded intellectualism means they have a lot farther to fall and hence, are in deeper darkness than the ones who precede them to the supper-the destitute, etc., because the latter are more willing to admit what they are while the former think they are ok.
God "attacks" these compelled ones through their life circumstances in their most vulnerable spots: their "things"-houses, material possessions; their health, their finances and their loved ones.
