Dead Sea Scrolls

Dead Sea Scrolls

5-11-22

God is sovereign The Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden until God decided to release them. Proving the time is now!  All the books of the Old Testament were found in the Scrolls except Ester.

Who lived in Qumran? The sons of Zadok. (Melchisedek). And the Essenes, they were regular Hebrews who followed the teachings of the sons of Zadok.  Priests were supposed to be from Zadok. Kings were supposed to be from the line of David. 

To be a priest you had to be from the tribe of Levi. Then in time Aaron became a priest, so to be a priest you had to be a descendant of Aaron. Many priests later was an Aaronic priest names Zadok. So now to be a priest you should be a descendant of Zadok. (Melchisedek) All Priests come from Levi. Not all Levites are Priests.

Pharisees, tried to force Gentiles into Judaism. Sadducees were Jews who wanted to go along with what the government said to do. Eventually, the Sadducees stopped believing in angels and life after death, this made them sad you see.

Now you have the Essenes, the Pharisees and the Sadducees. There are a few others but for now these are the ones we will be talking about. Christianity has a lot of denominations, so do the Children of Israel.

 

The illegitimate priests followed a lunar calendar, but the sons of Zadok used the solar calendar because it was given by God at the beginning.    

John shows a difference between the lunar and the solar calendar. John 7:2-8 says that His brethren asked Jesus to go to Judaea with them, but Jesus said, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. 

You see Jesus was working on a different calendar then they were. The Pharisees used the lunar calendar, but the people of Qumran used the solar calendar. Matthew, Mark and Luke use the solar calendar, but John uses the lunar calendar. 

 

Was Jesus Himself an Essene? No, He came to teach all people the right way, His way. 

 

Acts says Saul went to the high priest and asked for letters to go to Damascus, to find any belonging to “the Way”, he might bind them and bring them to Jerusalem for arrest. There was two Damascus’s. Damascus Qumran and Damascus Syria. The problem is the priests of the temple in Jerusalem had no authority over any Jews as far away as Damascus Syria. Qumran was also called “the Way” and Damascus. And Damascus Qumran was close enough that the priest felt they had authority there. Damascus Qumran was very close to Jerusalem. 

 

The book of 1 Maccabees 5:25, 39; 9:35 and 2 Maccabees 5:8 says that Paul went to Damascus and was baptized. After that Paul went to Arabia, then he returned to Damascus. After three years in Damascus, Paul went to Jerusalem for fifteen days. 

I think Paul spent three years in Damascus Qumran learning to be an Essene or in other words learning to believe like the sons of Zadok. (Melchisedek)  

Evidence of this is in Acts 24:14-15 (NET) But I confess this to you, that I worship the God of our ancestors according to the Way (which they call a sect), believing everything that is according to the law and that is written in the prophets. I have a hope in God (a hope that these men themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. 

Pay attention to this next paragraph.

“The Way”, existed a long time before Jesus. The followers of “The Way” (the Qumran Community and the Essenes throughout Israel) accepted Jesus as the Messiah. So what happened to the Essenes? Where did they go? Where are they now? When Jesus came, died, resurrected, ascended to Heaven the Essenes likely accepted Him. They went out to preach the Gospel, to the world as was commanded in Matthew 28:19-20. The Essenes became us Christians: We came from the Essenes!

 

I want to tell you a story. About 15 – 20 years ago, I was volunteering at Youth For Christ. Up in the 3rd floor was a small room we used for Bible Study. It had bookcases from floor to ceiling on all 4 walls. Stuffed full of books. The director George Kell told me that they were going to convert that room to a dressing room, as they needed it because God was blessing there theater productions. I said what are you going to do with all those books? Donate them to the library. Well, I went upstairs and looked at the books. There was a book there I wanted. I asked George if I could have it. What book do you want, he asked? Josephus. Why do you want that old thing? I like to read. 

I took it home. I had to put a tea towel on my lap to read it, because if was disintegrating so bad. After reading I had to shake out the tea towel. Flavius Josephus, was a secular historian. It was illuminating! It added so much to the Bible stories that I knew so well. I loved it. But it was not inspired by the Holy Ghost. 

Recently, I have begun to read some of the dead sea scrolls. They are the word of God inspired by the Holy Spirit. You can tell when you read them. It is just there. 

Take it or leave it. But you can’t debate this with me until you have read them. 

It doesn’t matter what you are reading. Look for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit can even anoint present day teachings!

The difference between knowledge and wisdom, isn’t so much what you know, but what you do with it.

Hope you enjoyed this!

Let’s start with a little history

monarch cocoon logo

King James was Catholic and felt that the teachings of the Protestants’ were harmful. He was unhappy
with the Geneva Bible because it had footnotes written by John Calvin, John Knox and others that
encouraged resistance to tyrants. King James declared the Geneva Bible seditious, and it was a criminal
offense to own one. So he authorized the King James Version in 1611 with no footnotes. King James
deposed all Protestant ministers and closed their churches. Congregants were subject to arrest and
imprisonment. Since the King paid the salary of the clergy they wouldn’t translate anything that would
cost them their life. A translation error is when, I am tired, hungry and my eyes are blurry, so I made a
mistake. Wrong but forgivable. A transliteration error is when it is done wrong on purpose. Only
forgivable because you recognized that the guy would be beheaded if he didn’t do it that way.
What?! I love my Bible! I didn’t realize it is a Catholic Bible! My ancestors fought wars because of their
persecution.

I do believe the Bible is the inspired word of God.

Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken!

Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I
shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of
those thins that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may
remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we
may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Man and his mistakes are going to be taken out of the Bible. What is left will be the inspired word of
God.

There was a town in Southern France called Albi. The people from that town were called Albigenses. In
1167 the Albigenses comprised most of the population of Southern France. But they disagreed with the
Catholic Church. So, the Catholic Church reacted. In 1208 Pope Innocent III ordered a crusade of
extermination. Whole towns were massacred. The campaign was successful. The Albigensians were
exterminated.

The Waldenses or the “Vaudois” in the French language denied the supremacy of Rome and so In 1487
Pope Innocent VIII launched persecution to destroy them. Between 1540 and 1570, 900,000 French
people were put to death.

Luther’s 95 Theses was influenced by John Wycliffe’s teachings and began the Protestant Reformation.
John Calvin was a French theologian. John Calvin was the beginning of the Methodists. William Tyndale
translated the New Testament into English. The Huguenots of France and Switzerland believed Luther
and Calvin’s teachings. The French Wars of Religion brought the massacre in March of 1562 an unknown
number of Huguenots were killed. The Bartholomew’s Day Massacre of August through September 1572
killed 70,000 Huguenots. The Huguenots migrated to South Africa and the 13 colonies of America. Paul
Revere was a Huguenot.

I am not making little of whatever your ancestors went through. I am just saying.
Every nation has been persecuted.

A French general by the name of Louis Alexandre Berthier captured the Pope of Rome in 1798 ending
the persecution. Berthier had a very beautiful daughter and she married a man named LeTourneau.
LeTourneau was an itinerant preacher who traveled around the French countryside on horseback
preaching that you cannot buy your salvation. Salvation comes by belief in the crucifixion and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. LeTourneau was one of my grandfathers. This was 5 generations ago. The
couple settled and raised a family in Canada.

The King James Bible was translated 16 times until you get back to the original Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic,
or whichever. 16 chances for normal error, and 16 chances for political error. The Message Bible was
translated by computer directly from Greek, Hebrew, and the other languages, into high school level
American English. It is easy to read and understand and has far less translation errors.
Here is an example: KJV 1 Timothy 2: 8-12 I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting holy hands,
without wrath and doubting. 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,
with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But
(which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with
all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor usurp authority over the man, but to be in
silence.

MSG 1 Timothy 2: 8-12 Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray-
not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. And I want women to get in there with
the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing
something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.
As a side note, the spirit represents the masculine, the soul, the feminine, so, these verses say that we
must all pay more attention to our spirit, and less attention to our soul. But, the point is to see the
difference in translations.

Was the Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit? Absolutely! Is our version perfect? I don’t think so. As you read
other material ask Holy Spirit to enlighten it for you. We need to use the concordance to make sure it
was translated the way it was intended. You might even hear God speaking when reading a magazine!
Or even when you are reading the Dead Sea Scrolls! Listen for God’s voice. We need to hear the word of
God from many sources.

After all that, I still love my Bible.

Red Heifer

monarch cocoon logo

When the Temple is restored and it’s time to make a traditional sin offering, the Jews say you need a red
heifer, (the Hebrew word for red heifer is para aduma) without blemish. Pure. Some say there have only
been 9 of them since the beginning of history.Para aduma also means earth, blood or red. When Cain killed Able, Able’s blood (para aduma) cried
from the earth.

You kill the red heifer,(outside the camp) and burn it to ashes, make a paste of the ashes. Sprinkle a little
of that on the priests to cleanse them. So that they can go into the Holy of Holies on the day of
Atonement.

This is why Jesus was sacrificed outside the camp.

Some people believe that Messiah will tarry until the Temple is rebuilt. They believe that the Messiah is
waiting for us to rebuild the Temple. If you rebuilt the temple, restart alter worship, blood sacrifices and
the priesthood, you could basically force Messiah to come. Some of these people don’t believe that the
Messiah has already come, some other people are looking for the second coming of Christ.

The problem is where do we rebuild the Temple? Oh! Where the Muslim, Dome of the Rock is. This is
the spot where Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac, where Jacob saw the ladder reaching up to heaven.
Where Boas worked his crop and spread his skirt over Naomi. The Dome of the Rock is in the way.
It is a huge rock; I mean really big. There is a beautiful building built around it. I mean really beautiful!
Mosaics everywhere. I think, it really would be a shame to destroy that very beautiful building.
The result is war.

The Muslims want the Dome of the Rock and so do the Jews. And even some of the Messianic Christians,
want the Dome of the Rock. They have been fighting over this for a long time. Can’t bomb it, might
destroy the Rock! So soldiers run around and kill each other.
I am not under the law, and I believe that Jesus already made the ultimate sacrifice and it doesn’t need
to be done again. So, I don’t need a red heifer. I also believe that my body is the Temple, and this is what
I want restored. So, for me the whole subject is moot. Let the red cow moo. Ha! Ha!

Our Future is Beautiful

Luke 4:16-21 Paraphrased: 

Jesus was reading in the Temple. He read that The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, He anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, deliver the captives, heal the blind, liberate them that are bruised. Preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he sat down. He stopped reading where He did because, this is the breaking-off point between the First coming of Jesus and His Second Coming. Start reading there to find out about His second coming. So start reading in Isaiah 61:1 and read to the middle of the second verse. That is what Jesus read. 

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord (Adonai) God is upon me; because the LORD (Yahweh)hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound

That was a description of the first coming of Christ.

Here is the description of the second coming of Christ.

  1. and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
  2. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, (Yahweh) that they might be glorified (boast).
  3. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
  4. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
  5. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: (Yahweh) men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory (heavy riches) shall ye boast yourselves.
  6. For your shame ye shall have double: and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
  7. For I the LORD (Yahweh) love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
  8. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD (Yahweh) hath blessed.
  9. I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, (Yahweh) my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorned herself with her jewels.
  10. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Chapter 62

  1. For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
  2. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory (heavy riches): and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD (Yahweh) shall name. 
  3. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory (communication) in the hand of the LORD (Yahweh), and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
  4. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephziba, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD (Yahweh) delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
  5. For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
  6. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD (Yahweh), keep not silence,
  7. And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
  8. The LORD (Yahweh) hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast labored:
  9. But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD (Yahweh); and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
  10. Go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 
  11. Behold, the LORD (Yahweh) hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
  12. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD (Yahweh): and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. 

Wasn’t that beautiful!

Inheritance

Isaiah 45:3 says, And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

It is time for this inheritance to be received. The hidden riches of the secret places are ready to be revealed. I am going to tell you the secret. 

Now you can be rich in beauty, personality, family, love, health, brains, happiness, fun, creativity, etc. Being rich doesn’t always have to refer to money. That is the secret. 

The Holy Spirit produces sonship. What does it mean to be a son? These sons will rule and reign with Him. They will restore the earth, destroy death, turn the Kingdom over to the Father. Our destiny is to be with Him in His glory, not just to have the power to heal the sick and raise the dead. Those things are done in faith, and have been done by men who haven’t come into sonship yet. Some Old Testament saints who had never had a salvation experience and 70 of Jesus’ disciples did miracles and they hadn’t received the Holy Spirit experience yet. Don’t praise and worship God because you are trying to get something out of him. That is philao love. God wants us to agape love him. 

Daniel 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 

19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 

Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego, had the correct attitude. God is able, but if He doesn’t do what we want, we will still serve our God. Not yours. There is no formula to get God to do what you want. You can not manipulate God. We just have to love God anyway. Unconditionally. 

John 21: 15 – 17

Jesus said to Peter, Lovest thou me? Peter, do you agape me? Peter answered, Lord you know I am only human, I phileo you. Jesus said, Then feed my lambs.  Jesus asked the second time. Peter, do you agape me? Peter answered again, yes Lord I phileo you. Then feed my sheep. Jesus asked for the third time. Peter, do you even phileo me? Now Peter gets upset, but he still answers yes I phileo you. Then feed my sheep. 

Jesus wanted Peter to agape love Him. Peter only phileo loved Jesus. This means that Peter only loved Jesus when Peter got something out of it. Jesus wanted Peter to love Him even if Peter didn’t like what was going on.

Lambs refer to baby Christians. Sheep refer to mature Christians. God can use you to feed the people even if you are not an agape lover. However, I want to be an agape lover, because that is what God wants. 

 

In what way was Jesus rich? Philippians 2:6 says Christ Jesus was in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. That means, He possessed the fullness of the attributes that make God God, and he didn’t feel like he was stealing from God.

John 17:5 says Oh Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 

That word glory should have been translated think or thought. Strongs G 1391 from 1380.

So now the verse would read, Oh Father, put your own thoughts in me, those kind of thoughts like I used to have before the world was. In the beginning Jesus was very rich in God’s thoughts. He gave that up when He got a human body. Now He is asking to think that way again. I do believe God answered His prayers and gave Him, His way of thinking. Now Jesus’ body is in heaven. But the Body of Christ is here right now on earth. So now it is time for us to also ask to think like God.

God always wanted to live in man, but He couldn’t because of sin. When Jesus got a body, God got a piece of earthly real estate that He could live in. God was manifested in the flesh. Jesus was rich in God, and for the second time, He gave that up, this time on the cross, He became poor in God, so that we could become rich in God.  

Ephesians 3:19 says that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now that’s rich!

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be glorified together. Because we are joint-heirs, that means that we inherit, the same thing that Jesus inherits. 

John 17:22 says, And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 

Here Jesus is speaking, He says, the thinking that the Father gave Him. Jesus gave to us, so that we can be one with Jesus, just as Jesus and the Father are one. 

Romans 8:17 said that we are joint-heirs with Christ. That means we get the same amount of the same thing. If you limit your inheritance, you limit what Christ gets. And Jesus Christ our Lord deserves it. So please take your share, so that He can take His. 

Being rich doesn’t always refer to money. In this case it refers to thinking like God. Having His Glory. So if you think like God, all the other things will fall into place and you will receive beauty, personality, family, love, health, brains, happiness, fun, creativity, etc. and oh yea, I almost forgot, money. Lol. Thinking like God is the secret place. 

I want to be rich in God’s thoughts. 

Oh Father, put your thoughts in me.

Love,

Diane 

The Branch

In John 14:5 Jesus said “I am the vine, Ye are the branches.” 

Isaiah 11:1&2 “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. 2. And the spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;” verse 3 “And shall make him (the Branch,) of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord:” 

Zachariah 3:8 Here now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee: “for they are men wondered at: for behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.” 

Zechariah 6:12 & 13 “Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is the BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord; 13, Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, (beauty) and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the council of peace shall be between them both.” 

Our bodies are the temple. This refers to body salvation. It says that twice. 

Jeremiah 23:5&6 “Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a king shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby he (the branch) shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 

Jeremiah 33:15 & 16 says the same thing. 

Philippians 3:9 but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. “Not of the law. 

Romans 11:16 “If the root be holy, so are the branches.” Therefore we are holy enough to execute the judgment. 

Romans 3:31 says that through our mercy they also shall obtain mercy. Because we are righteous, we can afford mercy. 

Because the branch is a continuation of the vine, we will finish what Jesus left undone. 

Let’s recap. Jesus is the vine. You, the Body of Christ, are the righteous branches. We have the spirit of the Lord, wisdom, quick understanding, council, might, knowledge, holy, and the fear of the Lord. We are a priest on a throne. We execute judgment and justice. We are servants and we are merciful.

Jonathan

Jonathan was a man of faith, courage, vision, unselfishness and spiritual. He was next in line for the throne. But he knew that David was God’s anointed. Jonathan gave David his robe and his garments, his sword and bow and his girdle. Jonathan wanted to serve David, when David would become King. Saul Jonathan’s father tried to kill David and David ran for his life, but even though Jonathan knew that David was God’s anointed, Jonathan stayed in his father’s house. 

1 Samuel 22:1-2 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullan: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. And everyone that was in distress, and everyone that was in debt, and everyone that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

Jonathan should have gone to the cave with David and his men. But he didn’t. There are some people who can see the anointing, but don’t want to leave the old order. The church. 

Because Jonathan stayed with Saul, he died with Saul. He could have reigned with David. He wanted to. But he wouldn’t leave Saul. You have to decide, you can’t serve two kings at the same time. Go to where the Spirit of God is. 

Zadok

Zadok, a descendent of Aaron, and of the tribe of Levi, on the other hand, served David, in the bad times and then he got to serve him in the good times. Zadok was a Seer, and stuck with David when Absalom tried to usurp the throne. When Adonijah tried to overthrow David. Zadok was on David’s side, because he knew that David was the anointed. God’s chosen. Because of Zadok’s faithfulness to God and his anointing, God used Zadok’s descendants in a mighty way. Jerusha (daughter of Zadok) was the mother of Jotham, a mighty King of Judah. He was a good King and did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Zadok’s great-great grandson was the first priest in Solomon’s Temple, the glory of the Lord filled the temple so that the priest couldn’t stand to minister. Azariah, was the priest in the Temple under Hezekiah, when they cleaned up the Temple, this caused a Revival that shook the nation. Ezra, was a priest who came back from Babylon to rebuild the Temple. 

Ezekiel had a vision, about an eternal temple made without hands, this is a ministry reserved for the sons of Zadok.

In Ezekiel it says, It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. 

But Jonathan, even though his heart was right, didn’t do the right thing, Jonathan should have left Saul, the old order, the church, and followed the anointing. But he didn’t. Will you?

 

Love,

Diane

Joseph’s Bones

Genesis 50:24 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. 

What? Why did Joseph want the children of Israel to carry his bones away?

And Moses did!

Exodus 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him.

Now these bones are 400 years old!

Well the Bible says that was the right thing to do.

Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 

OK, but why?

Joseph knew,

Matthew 27:51 – 53 And, Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom: and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after this resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared unto many. 

Joseph knew what was going to happen and he wanted to be a part of it.

Those guys that arose with Christ were the first fruits of the resurrection. They are living proof that the harvest is going to happen.

Jubilee

Written By: Bill Britton

But I have said, and will say it once more…

that our God has spoken, His voice did roar.

He will send forth a people, who are humble and plain;

He will cause them to descend as a great latter rain.

Anointed of God, to the nations they’ll go.

From the mountain of God like a River they’ll flow.

They are sealed by His Spirit, marked as His own;

They speak with authority, for they sit in His throne.

They have not sought for escape, nor a flight to the sky.

But in the realms of the Spirit, they’ve ascended so high.

They have no reason to fear, nor a cause for dread.

There is hope for all, for even the dead.

For those in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son,

Shall arise and know that He is the One.

There is one Over-comer, one Son, and one King.

When this truth breaks upon you, it’ll cause you to sing.

You are bone of His bones, and you are one with the Head;

His image you’ll bear, and Adam you’ll shed.

Well, Glory to God, don’t you see what I mean?

The filth is all gone, and now you are clean.

Holy and pure, as the Father above;

His commandment fulfilled, because of His love.

You see, I speak as a prophet of the Jubilee year.

It’s not far off, but I declare it is near.

Be ready, be ready, oh dear friend of mine;

His glory is rising, upon you to shine.

The night is far spent, a new day is breaking;

The darkness is fleeing, hell’s gates are now shaking.

The demonic hordes are trembling in fear,

God’s Army is rising, His coming is near.

Rejoice I say, rejoice every one,

 for the sound that you hear is the voice of the Son.

He marches to battle; He knows no defeat;

His Army is great, and the victory is sweet.

Every enemy of God shall go down in the fray,

Every pain, every sorrow shall vanish that Day.

He’ll prove Himself a wise God to be,

And He’ll do it on earth that creation might see.

Out of sin He hath called me,

His word to declare;

Those who believe His glory will share.

Hallelujah!

Abigail Repent

1 Samuel 25:1 – 42

I will tell you the story, then we will pick it apart and then find some nuggets!

There was this really rich guy, his name was Nabal. He had 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats. He lived in Carmel. He was shearing his sheep.  I think he must have had a lot of helpers. David and his 600 soldiers were traveling through the area, they protected Nabal’s men. They were a wall to them night and day. David’s men were very good to them, they didn’t hurt them or steal anything from them. 

David sent 10 young men to Nabal, and asked for food. And Nabal said no. David got really mad. And David told his soldiers to put on their swords. David said I’ll kill all of them. Nabal had a wife, her name was Abigal, she was beautiful and smart. One of Nabal’s men went to Abigal and told her what happened. 

Abigail hurried up and took 200 loaves of bread and five sheep already killed and gutted, and corn and 100 clusters of raisins and 200 cakes of figs and only 2 bottles of wine and had the asses carry all this stuff. But she didn’t tell her husband. She had all the food go first. And she went to see David.

When Abigail saw David she laid on the ground with her face down, at his feet and she said, let this sin be on me. Please let me talk. Don’t pay attention to Nabal. He is a fool. Please forgive me.

Then David said, Hey, thanks for coming! I am glad you came, because I was going to kill everyone in your town. And thanks for the food. Don’t worry, you changed my mind. I am not going to kill anybody now. 

So, Abigail went home. Nabal was very drunk. She didn’t tell him anything. But in the morning when he was sober, she told him. And he went into a coma. In 10 days he died. Then David married Abigal. And they lived happily ever after. 

Let’s pick this story apart.

“And…(Abigail)… fell before David on her face”

 (1 Samuel 25:23) This is complete surrender to a higher authority. 

Abigail understood the difference between the Ruler and a ruler, (my LORD and my lord). She stood In the gap between them both so that reconciliation can come.

 1 Sam 25:30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

She was willing to die. David is serious, he is coming with his men to kill her husband and wipe out every man of Nabal’s family line. But, then she goes down and falls on her face at his feet and she calls him, “My lord.” The moment she says that she is recognizing David’s authority and this establishes that David is a superior ruler. She was advocating for mercy. 

Abigail thinks her husband is an idiot, and everybody around him thinks so too. She has this group of people and she hopes that if she becomes their representative she can spare all of them.

 1 Sam 25:17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him. 

Belial strongs #1100 white part of the egg = egg head. Nabal is the son of an egghead, Now that’s Funny! 

In the Old Testament, the example of priesthood was of a priest going into the Holy of Holies once a year. But other people had no right to even refer to the Name of the Lord. That right was given only to the priests because they were considered so holy. Even when they write the name of God or the Lord, they do it like this G-d or L-rd. Abigail was not allowed to take the Name of the Lord out into the marketplace, out to where an army is coming. Just for that she could have been killed. But Abigail understood.

First, you must understand that, 

LORD = Yahweh. That LORD is all capital letters.

lord = Boss. In that lord, all the letters are lower case.

Lord = Adoni. In that Lord only the first letter is capitalized. 

That is three different meanings for the same word, they are spelled the same, but different letters are capitalized. 

1 Samuel 25:28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD (Yahweh) will certainly make my lord (boss) a sure house; because my lord (boss) fighteth the battles of the LORD (Yaheweh), and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

By advocating reconciliation for the sin of her family, she brings it to a point where her family is pardoned. But not Nabal because he does not stand under the word of God. And all of this is because of her representation saying: “I have sinned.” Even though she didn’t sin. 

Abigail apologized for something she didn’t do. Do I have to do that?

Yep

Unless there is ownership of sin, nothing can change. There can be no trial if there is no ownership.  

Jesus did it too.

Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. 

Let’s talk about frequency. It is when you create stuff in your imagination. You become a host, and then you bear the image of that act. So, whatever goes on inside you vibrates and that vibration sets up a frequency, which makes that act happen. When a spirit of murder sees its own image, it will step into that image. You can also imagine good stuff, which creates wonderful vibes and frequencies and then they happen.

You must judge yourself first. The high priest would come into the realm of God. He would take the scroll of the Word of God and raise it above his head and say, “This has now become my covering. I stand under the covering of the Torah as a huppah.” Because he was acting as the mediator he came under that covering. He would say. “Judge me, oh God, according to the measure of the covering that I am now under.” 

Psalm 35:2 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

The high priest was wearing the breast plate that represented the 12 tribes of Israel. He would say, “Judge me, Oh God, and then judge everything on the outside of this covering.” And in that exact instant, the whole of the Israelite nation was free from every form of sin, iniquity and transgression. Because the breastplate was symbolic for them they were standing under the covering. And grace was given for a whole year until the high priest would come in and do it again.

Repentance repaints the picture you have in your imagination. It repaints the image and makes it something completely different. The spirit world also recognizes that. 

The devil wants to fight with you. He accuses you and wants you to say, “Oh, no, I have not sinned.” But the Bible tells us to agree with our adversary quickly.

 ( Matthew 5:25) Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 

 Why? Repent and get the accusations against you judged, you will be found innocent, because you are under the word of God, and the devil will have no power over you. Just get it done and over with. The Bible says, “The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged” You see if you are not judged the devil can continue to accuse you.

 (Matthew 7:2) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 

Now we have better than the Torah, we have the Holy Bible! Practice by placing a Bible on your head and saying, “By faith, Lord, I stand under the covering of Your Word. Put on a necklace or something to represent the breastplate, so that your family will also be under the covering. 

Then, I would say: “This is what I did…………… I ask You to remove that from my life. Judge it according to Your righteousness . Remove it from my life.” Now, Lord, as You have judged me, I ask You to judge everything that was connected to that part of my life with that same sword.

For example, you were married many years ago to an idiot, who committed many sins. Or family member or colleague, friend or even church member, even if they are now dead, etc.  Now take those sins upon yourself even though you didn’t do them and stand under the covering of the word of God and repent for the those sins. El Elyon, I ask that You would take Your Word like a sword, that Flaming Sword that stands in the way of the tree of life and I ask that You would judge me according to your grace. Now, El Elyon, as You have judged me, I ask You to judge everything that was connected to that part of my life with the same sword. By taking the sins of the other person you are acting under the order of Melchizedek and functioning as a high priest. 

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should  perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

Doing the above will give you access to the tree of life and many miracles.
