Jerusalem
Every person is governed by knowledge, either the knowledge of this world, which issues forth from the heart, which is fed with the bread of this world, or the knowledge from God, the bread from Heaven, which Jesus gave to man.
Psalm 78:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
Job 7:14-16 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
Uttering whatever the soul causes it to think, feel, and suffer.
Job 9:21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
A soul that cause the mind, the spirit to react constantly to the stimuli without in the world, which controls what is within. This is the reason repentance is preached, which means to turn away from the world, and the works that it works of within us. So we can then turn to the Father within, and subject ourselves to a higher knowledge (power), a knowledge that will help us be redeemed, and refresh our spirit, renewed in the knowledge given from God.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
To be in the presence of the Lord (The Father) again, as stated many times, one must go within spirit. Seeking after his righteousness, and it his gift of righteousness is what purges us of our sins. Let's be clear, sins are not absolved by good deeds, nor are they absolved by man, nor are they absolved by pretending to believe in God, or Jesus, and make no mistake, people are pretending, deceiving themselves.
Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
You have know God exists, you have to know that Jesus was sent into the flesh here by God in the knowledge of his world. People mistake believing in the words ABOUT God, and in the words ABOUT Jesus, as equalling believing IN Jesus, and believing IN God. There's a great gulf between the two.
John 6:44-45 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Since one is taught by man, and one is taught by God only, since it is the Father only that draws in people to understand the knowledge of Jesus, the mystery of the Gospel. You have to make yourself ready, or you will be deceived by man, or like most, yourselves.
Psalm 26:2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
It his he who searches the hearts and the reins and decides when you are ready to understand, it is he who you wakes up, not your peers.
Psalm 59:12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
The pride of man hates this (Since it would ultimately bring about the death of the soul, destroying the works of the devil), and thus he creates his own religion, spirituality, cult, ideology, or philosophy, deceived by that same deceiver that rules this world, and allows the many religions of man to conquer the minds of the masses, putting them to sleep, causing them to slumber, killing their children with a spiritual death, the children being those who follow after Earthly doctrines, especially of the False Churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, etc on this Earth, with their beliefs and traditions, which further imprisons minds, and the children of them.
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The problem is, people have an Earthly belief, not spiritual belief, they have Earthly faith, and not spiritual faith. They do Earthly works, but no spiritual works.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are (about the) spirit, and they are (about eternal) life.
1 Corinthians 15:43-45 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
You see the Israelite's believed at the time that the Law was physical, and it is, because before Jesus came, no one could possibly know anything else. Then you have the religious sort who believe that the physical place Israel, and Jerusalem are Holy, to the point that they worship, and war over them. What part of the flesh profits nothing, and that God is not a respecter of persons don't people understand?
Ephesians 3:4-6 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
So Jesus was sent, by the Father with the New Testament of the spirit, but made it very clear, that the Law was needed, along with the New Testament, so that one could bring our the old, from the old, using the New Testament.
Leviticus 26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
The Law and Prophets, states as much itself, clouded with parables and similitude's, as stated again in the Old Testament.
Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
After all, it is the ultimate book of prophecy. And only the spirit can see that the Law and the Prophets are spiritual instructions from the Father, those of the flesh, just follow after religious indoctrination, of which we are ALL victims. Hate the religion, not those of the religion. Hate the cancer, not the ones afflicted by the disease. Remember righteousness. Because as stated by Jesus himself, no one will like new wine over the old, at least at first. Now understand the following.
Luke 5:36-39 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; (Like the Christians and Muslims have, hijacking the Scriptures of the Jews) if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, (That would be the Christian, and Islamic religions.) and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old. (See the wars over Israel, and its capital, for an example of that) And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. (That would be the Old religion getting in the road) But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. (The spirit is eternal afterall, the flesh which is the Old is not) No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
I might add, that atheists are religious as well, since they're are a product of religion, try as they might to deny this, it is still a delusion given from the same enemy, the soul. I used to be one myself, and I'm conscious enough to know that my non-belief in God, which I adopted, was a reaction to my aversion to religion. Do not think the political aren't a product of this either. Since we have made them our governors of our thoughts and beliefs of the world, their word directing us who and what to vote for, you can barely go out in peace, and not hear someone talking about this and that that they have read, especially on the Internet, which is the third woe, and like high speed broadband, it comes quickly. Again, woe, woe, woe, WWW. Before the net, what are the two greatest influences of the mind, and the world. The first woe, the Bible, and the second woe, the religions of Abraham that sprang forth from them, like frogs, and third woe,, as Daniel stated, knowledge will be increased, and expanded upon in revelation, comes quickly, is the internet. They're no coincidences, just a plan.
Revelation 11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Politicians, business men, financiers, etc along with journalists are equally false prophets gone out in the world, only like all false prophets, they only concern themselves with the flesh, with Earthly power, fame, success and riches. The love of the Father is not in such. Again, the Earth is the place of damnation. Which means to pay a penalty. We have be mislead to covert, and envy the rich of this world, or we are failures. Psychologically, this causes the poor to commit crimes against their peers, because they have be programmed to believe they lack something, that only physical wealth, and earthly goods can make up for. And attitude encouraged by those who dominate the world with wealth. You don't build prisons unless you're encouraging crime, instead you'd build more schools.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Again, as stated, such a people who would believe lies more than the truth. Realising that your thoughts and beliefs are utterly worthless, is the beginning of humility, after that, then there is honour.
Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
Those rich with Earthly knowledge cannot enter into the Kingdom, since they cleave to it, like the rich man Jesus spoke to. Pride in it takes people down, since the pride is in the possession of it.
Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Even worse, they're blind to the fact that they are the poor themselves,
Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Poor in the knowledge of God, the mystery of the Gospel.
Matthew 19:21-24 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
All that smugness in the rich man of the Earth, their hardened heart causes their face to smirk or scoff at these things for example, and the soul's evil thoughts and imagination taking over their mind, walking after their own soul's lusts, even to the point that their lips utter the soul's thoughts unconsciously, clouded in deceit, thinking that certain types cannot see nor hear that said deceit, such a mental attitude will condemn them, after-all, they're are ready trapped in them, and continue to suffer from the afflictions causes by them.
Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
Seems to be the bad habit with just be about everyone in human terms, since the vast majority of people talk and gossip too much, it is a sign of an undisciplined mind, always wanting some form of attention, because of that plague people call anxiety in this age (Which is nothing more that people being overly self-involved, the brother of Pride). Their land is not quiet. Again, the vast majority of humanity are afflicted in one form or another, few escape any form of mental ailment, even Jesus had his tribulations.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
It was said that ones own enemies would be of ones own household, it is they who spoil our land, the armies that surround the city of peace, Jerusalem. (Our spirit) So learn to conquer them, with the Father's help, in patience, possessing your souls, becoming the captain of the very army that desires to rule our land, and take its peace. The parables about Jerusalem are parables about our mind, our spirit. So keep your mind (eye) single, and your mind will be full of knowledge (light). Try and focus on that, and when reading scriptures about Jerusalem, consider that it is in fact talking about your mind, your spirit. Keep the mind single, and regain control of that rebellious house. If not, the mind will be full of darkness, because we've let the armies invade, and take our land, and our peace.
Psalm 37:29-31 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
Good manners is the foundation of good mental health, so careful whom you mimic without in the world, and within, because there another law within people, within us all, that causes people to do and think evil, even when they want to do good. But people don't know their own hearts, and thus are cleaved to them, doing its bidding.
Romans 7:14-25 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 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. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
To make the above plain, when we do good, evil is always present within us, causing us to backslide, similar to trying to overcome an addiction by our own will alone. It is why most of us are hypocrites, paying lip service, and doing nothing but the opposite. So we must use the knowledge given from God, his grace to overcome that evil. These are the tribulations all must face. Most are just happy where they are, doing no work on the inner man, to overcome the natural man. They think belief ABOUT God, and ABOUT Jesus is enough, regardless of the lack of spiritual proof within themselves. They just believe and nothing more, even down to deceiving themselves.
2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution
Romans 7:14-25 describes that persecution, it is an inner persecution of the spirit, and what happened to Jesus when he was alive, the word made flesh?, well your soul wants to do that with your spirit. That is Armageddon, that is the Great Tribulation, and the wicked ones child wants to slay us time and time again. Again, parables about the spirit.
2 Timothy 3:13-14 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
People mistake peace of mind, with being happy. Peace of mind is having a silent mind, where the workings of the soul are silent within that true sabbath (peace) of the spirit (Jerusalem) which is the city of peace. Scripture is clouded with parables and similitude's for good reason, since it is the best way to educate the core of the spirit. Like the parable below, which most people think is Jesus talking about the rest of the world attacking Jerusalem, such is the nature of an evil heart, that imagines war, in the name of God. Ironically, in those, the armies have already made Jerusalem desolate, because their blind minds, cannot see that the armies are the workings of their own soul.
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.
To those outside the city, they cannot see, since they are amongst the armies that seeks to take the peace from within the city, treading the Holy City underfoot.
Revelation 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Possessed by their own soul, blind to the thoughts and intentions of their own wicked hearts. The plagues have broken through their walls, and afflicted their minds, and all the cattle within has been destroyed, the fruit of the land eaten, the fences torn apart, the city of peace made desolate. The quietness of the mind turned to constant noise, the tumult ruling within.
Psalm 35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
Again, parables and similitude to educate the willing spirit, that is made ready to receive. To those without, in the court without the temple, these things can only be taken literally, since they lack that shift in consciousness, a consciousness that has been under attack, and has fallen and been taken, and now serves its enemies.
Deuteronomy 28:51-53 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
They can only hear the word, and not do the word. So, in seeing the above for example, they cannot see, and in hearing the above, they cannot hear. because they have no idea what the Law and the Prophets are spiritually trying to convey, and only have Earthly, and intellectual interpretations to run after. Normally given to them by other people, especially the spiritual and religious who have been indoctrinated by the very thing it is supposed to fighting against. Such people like to yammer on about how much they have studied the scriptures, and still they know nothing. They call themselves Apostles, Prophets, Prophetess, Priest, Father, Bishop, Vicar, Deacon falsely exalting themselves above their fellows. All appointed by man's belief in God, but not God himself. They are the Nicoliatanes, whom Jesus stated that he hates, because they have 'Conquered the minds of the lay people' Those distinct of the clergy. Which is what Nicoliatanes means.
Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Instead of trying to conquer the minds of other people, with their corrupt souls, they should try and Bishop their own. Bishop, to mean overseer in English.
1 Peter 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
They talk about the body of Christ, like it is a literal body, not knowing that the body of Christ, is simply his teachings about the spirit, which enables one to receive that bread. That bread from Heaven, that enables one to DISCOVER treasure (Knowledge) out of the Old Testament, and New Testament, which is about the MYSTERY of the Kingdom of God. In short, Revelations, revelations which will guide your mind, your spiritual city, Jerusalem from being attacked from the forces of hell, i.e this world, and the wicked thoughts and imaginations of the heart. That army that surrounds Jerusalem.
Matthew 16:17-18 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And why won't the gates of hell prevail against it? Well if Jesus and the Father are united as one, and if Jesus is the saviour, then who is really the saviour, if ALL glory goes to God?
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Again, SEEK and you'll find that was the promise. The promise wasn't listen to man, and believe, and join a religion, and then you're saved because of your faith in religion or spirituality.
Matthew 6:20-22 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:(Aka think in terms of the spirit and not flesh) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Religion is of the Earth, not Heaven, so where our heart is, that's where our treasure is. So, a mind focused on the Father, will be full of the knowledge of God and the Kingdom.
Luke 6:44-46 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 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 why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Which is to turn to the Father within in spirit, seeking after his righteousness, and have all things (Knowledge) added by revelation (Grace). Only one instructs you, and one one can free you.
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 and old.
Removing the blindness from our minds, revealing and allowing the mind to spiritually perceive the knowledge, that hidden manna from Heaven.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
It is a process of transformation, and discovery. Because we have to discover a mystery don't we, and we have to seek to find a mystery, right? Religion is given, like all culture is, and adopted by those who love the Earth.
Mark 4:11-12 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
There is more to overcoming the world that meets the eye, the beginning of which begins at home, so that you can be control of your own house, which is the Father's house of prayer, which currently those armies that surround Jerusalem have overrun, turning it into a 'Den of thieves', The place within which we should be receiving revelations, and that is the treasure of his Grace, his gift of righteousness, and the teachings thereof, which begins with faith.
James 1:22-24 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
A man ruled by the soul, and not the higher knowledge of the Father, which renews and transforms the spirit, a spirit that continuously allows its own desolation, because it knows not what it is.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
The spirit is trod underfoot, by the armies of the soul, who spoil the beautiful vineyards within, and have turned the pleasant land into a wilderness, the fig tree has withered because of the lack of light, and there is no fruit therein. Again, parables about the spirit.
Romans 13:1-5 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
