UNDERSTANDING THE BOOK OF REVELATION        8/27/07

                                                           PART 3

Before we go on with this sharing, I want to look at this "one like unto the son of man" , a little more. This is important to us. It is the revealing of the manifestation of God, in, through and as us. It is the remembering of our True Identity. This is the seventh day that we are in and the third day and this is the Day of the Lord, when He IS rising up and being seen in the earthen realm.

God's plan is about HIM, not us. His plan is and was to be in this visible realm, and to be seen EVERYWHERE we look. ANYPLACE where there is LIFE, we see Him. It IS NOT HIM and us, it is HIM. Him, that we are One in. Not One with. The word "with" implies more than one person. More than one is duality. His name in Genesis, Eloheim, means "PLURAL GOD". Not Gods, but God. Just as the church has accepted that the Body of Christ is a many membered Body, God is plural and all the plurality is HIM.

We were brought forth out from within Him; we are of the exact substance that He is; we are Him Image. He cannot change and neither can we, being Who we are. The only thing that changed was our thinking, about ourselves, when we manifested into this nature, physical realm. We changed our focus from the Truth; from His way of thinking; and from His way of seeing; and we have been in an illusional thinking reality, ever since. That image that was produced by the illusional thinking, has made us forget the True Reality of Who we are. But, we are returning, just as the prodical son returned to his father. Just as, when we enter into the Spiritual mind, we know that we are in His Presence, but, not only IN His Presence, but it is then that we cannot tell where His Presence begins and this nautral presence ends. That is because WE ARE ONE IN HIM.

Now, let's look at this "one like unto the son of man". We know that the flesh man, Jesus, was the son of man. So, the words alone, "like unto" , tells us something. If you remember, in the Tabernacle of Moses, there were parts of the Tabernacle that was made of wood, overlaid with gold. Wood, speaks of humanity. Gold speaks of God. As this physical, flesh body is covered with our True Identity, the body changes from flesh, as we know it, to a body that corruption cannot touch; death cannot touch. It actually needs NOTHING to sustain it, because it's source is its Creator.

Now, this "one like unto the son of man" that John saw, in the midst of the seven candlesticks, tells us a lot. Now, just relax; forget all of our religious thinking; and just meditate on these words. What does seven mean? It means perfection, completenes, wholeness. (Rev. 5:6). What does a candle do? It gives light. So what this is telling us IN OUR LANGUAGE (not John's way of speaking, not English, not Hebrew, not Greek, but in SPIRITUAL LANGUAGE! God does not speak those languages HE SPEAKS SPIRIT!) this is telling us that PERFECT KNOWLEDGE, PERFECT KNOWING, PERFECT TRUTH OF GOD is surrounding what John is seeing.

What darkness John must have felt on that Island. Banished, alone, away from all his loved ones. But, out of that darkness, John sees the brightest Light anyone could see. Out of the darkness of his situation, comes Light. This is exactly what has been happening to us. Don't you sometimes feel as though you have been banished from all that you have known? And what does John see in this PERFECT KNOWLEDGE? "one like unto the son of man". I am sure that John thought, "oh this is all worth all that I have been through", just as we are learning that all that we go through is indeed worth the remembering of our True Identity.

Now, "this one like unto the son of man, was clothed with a garment down to the foot". This is speaking of his life. All that was seen of him was the exact same thing that God is. The foot represents this one's walk. And notice, the foot is SINGLE, not plural. He isn't walking with one foot in the air and one foot on the earth, he is walking the life of the One that he is One in, God.  He has brought heaven and earth together.  This garment that he had on, was girted about the paps with a golden girdle. The paps speak of the breast area, the place of the heart, the place of nurishment and substanence. What this one had on was the clothing of the priests. Now , look at an earlier verse:

Rev. 1:6, " and hath made us kings and priests unto God...."

This word "unto" can also mean "into". This one, not only walked IN the midst of the light, He was the Light, and this my friends are us, coming into remembrance of Who we are. Let me say something here. I think some people feel that we are trying to take God's place. We are and will always be subject to God. Yes, Eloheim means, PLURAL GOD, and we are part of that plurality, but HE is the MOST HIGH GOD. At this point in time, we don't understand just how far into being Him we will go. But, we do know FOR SURE, IF WE BELIEVE, "that IN HIM, we move, live and IN HIM WE HAVE OUR BEING". The church has tried to make this sound as though it is some kind of relationship, where we are down here, He is up there, and it is just a "thinking" that we abide in Him, in some mystical way. We are learning differently. Can you believe that He lives in you? Then, why can't we believe that we ARE IN HIM? We cannot be IN HIM and not be exactly what He is.

He told us that He is "I AM", and He even gave us the thought of when we think of ourselves, who do we call ourselves? "I". His name, like all the names given in the bible, means "NATURE". "I" IS HIS NATURE and that is what we are. Only the carnal thinking cannot see this because it is follly to the carnal mind. We cannot even speak of ourself, without speaking of Him; I am happy; I am glad; I am love; I am I am.

As He walked this earth as the man Jesus, He was a SIMPLE MAN. He spoke simply. RELIGION has changed His simplicity into hard to understand words, that really hold no meaning to us, because we couldn't understand the deep meaning of His simple words. If He says something, IT IS TRUE, whether we understand or not. We cannot change HIS TRUTH. We need to change our thinking when we see something that He says. We need to think "I may not understand it, but IF He says that I am PURE, then I have to see myself as PURE, regardless of what my natural eyes tell me, no matter what my pastor tells me, when my pastor says that no man is worthy, I just have to say, well that contradicts what God says. We LEARN to understand when we desert EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, and just focus on Him. Then we turn around and say to ourselves, "oh my gosh, I understand what He is and has been saying, why didn't I see this Truth before?" It is because we have been listening to everyone EXCEPT HIM.

"his hairs and his head were WHITE...." PURITY!! This one had come to the place that ALL HE WAS USING WAS THE MIND OF GOD. When the Book of Revelation speaks of "the mark of the beast", we see that that mark is to be in the hand or the forehead of a people. All that means is simply, the carnal nature is in their mind and ministry. The hand speaks of ministry and all a ministry is, is speaking, living and sharing HIM!! Oh, for all to come out of religion, what a joy it will be!!! We are ALL a ministry, it is just that some minister out of Him and some are still ministering out of the carnal. And the carnal has different levels, just as being in Him has.

Folks, the bible tells us that we are to go through tribulation. And that tribulation is the listening to the carnal mind. When we think with the Mind of God, we know, deep,deep within us, that we have no needs, we have no illness, and in fact that we HAVE ALL THAT WE NEED, HIS FULLNESS!! (John 1:16). As we realize this, we see these things that the carnal mind tells us, fall away. And there MUST come a falling away BEFORE the finished work of God is manifested. We cannot hold on to the carnal way of thinking because of what the natural eyes see, and hold on to the Mind of God. Our eyes start seeing differently when we focus on HIS THINKING. The mind is a powerful thing. Both the carnal mind and the Mind of God.

Doesn't the bible tell us, "As a man thinketh, so is he".? This workd "thinketh" needs to be understood. Any word with "eth" on the end, means CONTINUALLY . Continually thinking turns into belief, regardless of which mind you are using to do that thinking. Our mind CREATES, believe it or not. No, it is not just saying, "I am speaking in a million dollars, for me" . That is definitely the carnal mind at work. You see, the Mind of God thinks of OTHERS, not itself.

"in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength."

In his ministry, his life, were perfect teachings, truths. No mixture. And the twoedged sword, speaks of his words. He speaks NOTHING that disagrees with God's Truth.

 And we need to understand this "sun shineth in his strength". The "sun" IS NOT SPEAKING OF THE SON, the way people have taught this. The "sun" speaks of LIGHT!! The son had no light or strength OF HIS OWN. IT WAS ONLY WHAT THE FATHER SAID OR THE STRENGTH THAT THE FATHER PROVIDED TO THE SON. And if you search this out, for yourself, you will find that Jesus NEVER TAUGHT SONSHIP. And He NEVER TAUGHT THE DOCTRINE OF THE BRIDE!! To speak of the son, Jesus would have been teaching HIMSELF, and He did not do that. He taught the FATHER.

Jesus taught:

John 17:23, " I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect IN ONE; ...." There is ONLY ONE, and that IS GOD.

We DID NOT COME OUT OF GOD AS A SON, WE CAME OUT OF HIM, AS HE IS!

We need to understand the God of Genesis one and the Lord God of Genesis two. The God of Genesis one, is the creator . It is He Who brought forth out from within Himself, the Lord God of Genesis two. Meditate on this. We know that in God, there was and is NO EVIL. Anything that He brought forth, He brought forth from within Himself. Evil did not even exist during all of His creating. Then, look at Isaiah 45. In the first verse, notice WHO is doing the speaking. It is the Lord, and in verse 7, He says:

Isaiah 45:7, "I form the light, and create darkness, I make peace; and creat evil: I the Lord di all these things."

Isaiah 54:16, "Behold," (what does BEHOLD mean? It means I am going to show you something that you didn't know up until now". "I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for HIS work; and I created the waster to destroy."

Now, notice in Genesis one. It was GOD who created man. But, in chapter two of Genesis, it was THE LORD GOD who did the FORMING. The Lord God is the PLURAL GOD that came out of Eloheim. Plural God. And until the Lord God (us) got involed with the tree of knowledge of good and evil, there WAS NO EVIL. THERE WAS NOT A THOUGHT SEPARATE FROM THE THOUGHTS OF ELOHEIM. THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL (the man and the woman) WERE IN UNITY, UNTIL the woman was separated from the man. The woman represents the soul, that became carnal. We are the Lord God, who is still subject to God, the Most High God. God could not and did not create evil, those who came forth in His image and got caught up in the natural, physical world, US, did the creating and are still doing it, in this illusional thinking that we are something other than what He is. (I will be doing a sharing on this subject when I finish with the Book of Revelation). Why would God (Eloheim) want to destroy? He was and is a Creator, not a destroyer. But, now the Lord God is awakening from the deep sleep that was put upon Him (Gen 2: 21), and notice the Lord God CAUSED this deep sleep to come. That deep sleep is illusional thinking. (You could call it a nightmare.) And we see no where in the bible where the man awakened from that deep sleep.

But, we see that the "one like unto the son of man" came forth, here in Revelation, and He is coming forth right now, right here on earth. Heaven and earth are coming together, we are awakening from this dream state of being something that we are not and realizing WHO AND WHAT WE ARE. His image is being seen in the earth. This is the seventh day from Adam and the third day from Jesus. He is rising up and being seen. Seven is perfection of the man that came forth out from within God (after he partook of the knowledge of good and evil) and three is witness to the manifestion on the earth. WE are the first and the last; we were alive and we lived like the dead, but now, LIFE IS SHOWING IN US, HIS LIFE! Hallelujah!!

Our true PRAISE is showing. True praise IS OUR LIFE not the songs we sing, not the dancing that we do. That praise is of the earthen realm, but TRUE PRAISE IS NOW BEING SEEN.

In Part 4, I am going to start on the churches. I will not be spending a lot of time on them, and you will see why, when I send it out. But, then we are going to get into the understanding of HOW this "one like unto the son of man" did overcome and awaken to Who and What He is.

to be continued.....

It is understandable for a child to be afraid of the dark; but, why would an adult be afraid of the LIGHT?
