Simulitudes, Memorials and Parables.
Luke 15:18-19 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
And so set a way back for him and others redemption through him, by the words of the Prophets. So to be made straight, the Lord had to come into the flesh as Jesus.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
In imitating the Father, The Lord God sowed the seeds of his own undoing, but also his own redemption. One by one in these latter days, the domino's are falling. The Father knows.
Hosea 12:5-7 Even the Lord God of hosts (The Father): the Lord is his memorial. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. He (The Lord) is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: (The soul, that crooked serpent of the knowledge of good and evil) he loveth to oppress.
Two Gods, one of the Earth (The Lord God, who created the living soul in all men) and the other, the Living God of Heaven, refereed to as the Lord of Hosts. (The Father, who created our spirits, which have been blinded by the living soul, in short we think we are it.)
Genesis 11:6-8 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
These are the acts of a crooked Lord, in the Father there is no crookedness, only good, and no variableness in his deeds as opposed to the Lord God, who was both good and evil.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
The heart (soul) thinks, the mind (spirit) receives the knowledge of good and evil of the soul and acts upon it, or dismiss it. Again, where your heart is so is your treasure, so our hearts need to be filled with the wisdom of God, his treasure, so that we can act on it in righteousness, for his treasure is the gift of righteousness.
Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
And the heart is Satan, which works within us all, those children of disobedience, which is why we need to be divided asunder from it, to reclaim our own spirit, and possess the soul which rules it.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The soul causes a famine in our land, leaving our mind desolate, bereft of the knowledge of itself, and of God.
Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
It is an abomination to God, and we believe our hearts are tender and delicate, for we are made in the image of God who is a spirit, and yet are formulated in the image of the soul which our blind spirit dwells within.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
The Father must be turned to within, and must be worshipped in spirit, so that a new meaning of the spirit can be seen within the Law and the Prophets.
Isaiah 47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
So that we remove her name from our foreheads, and break her mysterious rule over our mind, because as it stands, none know they're even being ruled and controlled by an internal force, even worse, at best they believe they're this self same force.
Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (The Soul), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (In the Holy Place, the place of the spirit) (let him that readeth understand,)(Meaning to perceive with the SPIRIT) then let them that be in Judaea (In their heart) flee to the mountains:(Mind).
Remember Gospel = GOOD NEWS of the spirit, not the bad news of the flesh.
Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Meaning preach the GOOD NEWS, not the news of the flesh which people are captivated by, in vain waiting for some event in the world to change everything, in a state of inertia.
Luke 21:32-35 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
People know not that they're already drowning, but not in the flood of the Earth, but in the flood that flows forth out of their own hearts.
Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
People underestimate the grip the media and politics has over our minds, the pestilence in the world. They are those who love the world, and hate this knowledge, and can't press unto it, because religions, ideologies, entertainment, politics and the cares of life rule them.
Psalm 14:1-3 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
For them this existence is all. Their own wisdom, and that of other in this world is their God.
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Turn to God within, in secret, and he'll give you Good News, drawing out knowledge given from the spirit of God.
Isaiah 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Pray to the Father in the temple within. That house of Prayer, that the heart has turned into a den of thieves, with its never end thinking, continuously giving us its knowledge of good and evil.(Those balances of deceit within us.)
Psalm 35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. (In the spirit)
The law isn't done away with physically, it is done away with spiritually. So that one can see with an unveiled mind how the Law and the Prophets are a memorial for The Living God of Heaven, and Jesus. A shadow of good things to come, but not the very image of. When you can bring out the light in the shadow, then you'll that you be of God.
Job 12:22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
So those not of God can only see in parables, those of God can see the plain things that speak of the spirit. Things are plain on the tables for them, so that they may run with it.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
The God of Heaven is the one who removes the veil, after turning to him, and being taught by him. Making known his words, it is he that makes things plain upon the tables for all people in their own time of regeneration.
Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. (A prophecy about Revelation, which Jesus taught his disciples)
Jerusalem AND Israel are a similitude for spirit and Heaven. Judea, Egypt, and Sodom are a similitude for the (Heart, Soul, or Flesh, and world if you want, but the former two are more correct) In short though, they are a memorial to the Father in these latter days via the deeds of the Lord. Before Jesus, the Old Testament was just history, old. So now with a renewed spirit the Old Testament can be used to bring forth the new song, the knowledge of the spirit, using the old which now can bee seen with the spirit.
Matthew 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new (Testament) and old (Testament).
Jerusalem is a parable for the spirit, it even means the place of peace. Go within it and pray to your Father, in your Father's house, and he will reveal knowledge to your mind.
Luke 21:19-20 In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
The soul (Mystery Babylon, who can know it?) and its armies (thoughts) compass the mind (Jerusalem), so we have to stand guard, keeping watch so that they don't invade our city. In most, the city has already been taken.
Jeremiah 38:3 Thus saith the Lord, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
Think about what the Great Tribulation would be about, and Armageddon. The battle against the soul, it must be possessed and overcome. It is a long war, not ever seen on the Earth, and because it is a spiritual war, not a hair on your head will perish.
Luke 21:17-19 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.
But again this war cannot be fought, because the mind lacks the weapon to fight. The sword from Jesus' mouth. Knowledge of the SPIRIT. Know your enemy.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
So high that we can't see them or even know them, without having that knowledge revealed by God. The Father helps us discern the nature of our hearts, so that we're no longer ignorant of its mystery, so that we can overcome its wiles and temptations.
2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Standing on the walls of our mind in full knowledge of ourselves and our enemy, keeping watch against the thoughts that corrupt our mind, causing it to serve the law of sin.
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Jerusalem, spiritually speaking is the mind (spirit) of a person, whereas is Israel is a parable for Heaven, and likewise Egypt a parable for the world. (Hence why it is said 'The burden of Egypt')'The burden being is that it is a parable for the world itself. The furnace of iron, even hell, where the Jews were held in captivity, only to be liberated by Moses, as a shadow of good things to come, but not the very image of Jesus liberating our captive spirits from our own wickedness of the heart and the world, with the truth, given to him by the Father.
Deuteronomy 4:20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
The armies that surround it are the contents of the soul (The wicked thoughts and imaginations of the heart), which tread the mind (Jerusalem) underfoot. So while people are waiting for this to happen in the flesh, it has already happened in the spirit already. Stop waiting for things of the flesh and get to work in renewing your mind.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
But people forget this, because Satan has them in a state of forgetfulness. And because people don't know the power of God, they do not know how prophecy works. The things of the old in the flesh speak of the things of the spirit, but not in the very image of. So to those without, the words of prophecy are sealed, and they can only speculate of their meaning, because they only see the parables, memorials and similitudes, which are about the spirit, written in earthly terms, which profits nothing.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
We have to relearn our original language which was of the spirit, to understand these things, which was corrupted by the Lord God, and his most loyal angels in the beginning. Again;
Genesis 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. (The acts of this God, the God of this world is not VERY GOOD)
Regardless, not one jot will pass from the law. However, not being able to see with the spirit, makes people take an earthly view of such things, our opinions, ideas, emotions and thoughts, the prior learning that comes from the soul is used against the spirit keeping it in the dark. That is the veil upon the mind, blinding it, it is that which we must possess, lest it ruin our house (Jerusalem). They have turned the Father's house of prayer, into a den of thieves. The only escape is to flee into the mountains (spirit) into the Father's house, which is spirit..
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Which isn't in a church, surrounded by like minded people, worshipping out to the world, following the words of a man, reading out of a book, and leaning on their own understanding, such neither truly understands, nor has understanding been given by the God they claim to serve.
2 Corinthians 3:12 - 17 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished. But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Seals (Veils) are revealed to man not opened. Hence the title Apocalypse which means revelation, an uncovering to be exact, yet people take an earthly meaning and think war and destruction. Preach the GOOD NEWS wasn't it said? Instruction in righteousness is what reveals the true knowledge of God behind the seal, hence why it is called the MYSTERY of God.
Job 33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
The seals are about taking earthly meanings from spiritual things, hence why people think of the Earth when reading Revelation.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
The book, and in fact the whole Bible is merely a guideline for God's servants and Jesus' disciples. The religious have hijacked it and turned it into a book of oppression and control.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Which cannot in anyway be fully understood by anyone but his servants, who God pours out his spirit (Knowledge of God) onto. The ones who he has called and chosen, few of the they may be at any one time, but ALL flesh shall see salvation in their own time.
Joel 2:28-29 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
It is the veil that is done away in Christ, and Jesus said, turn to your Father, WITHIN to do away with it. What is it about the word MYSTERY that people don't understand?
Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
People are still awaiting the coming of a man in the flesh and not the spirit. For theirs is the wisdom of this world, and their hearts idea of God, which only speaks of it own, nothing is a mystery to them, they have nothing to discover, because they're all experts. They think Jesus is coming back with clouds in the flesh, unaware that clouds are a similitude for coverings, since that what clouds do, cover the sun. They believe he is going to float down from the sky, literally coming with Earthly clouds. He is not.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and ALL kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. (Because they have ignored his words, Hence the cloud bit) Even so, Amen.
The things written in the Old Testament are about the Earth. They are a memorial to the Father who is Heavenly. And before Jesus there was no way at all to know these things, outside of an Earthy understanding.
1 Corinthians 2:12-13 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
