Thank You YAHOVAH Father God

“!Emmanuel! – !God! with Us”
(Dedicated to our Mom, Dad and Brother – Now With Our LORD)

“December 25th”, a most “High and Holy Day” in the hearts and minds of all those of humankind who understand the “love of our Father God for His children.” For on that day, “Christ Jesus” was conceived, an embryo, life, within the womb of Mary. “Conceive” is “ Strong’s Concordance Greek Word No. 4815 ” which means, “to conceive, of a woman”, from “ Strong’s Concordance Greek Word No. 4862 ” which means “with.” Matthew 1:23 says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name “Emmanuel”, which being interpreted is, “God with us.” “Emmanuel” which means “God with us” or “with us is God”, is the “symbolic and prophetic name of our Messiah, the Christ, prophesying that He would be born of a virgin and would be God with us .” Therefore, Christ Jesus was not born on December 25th, but was within the womb of Mary on that day, “with” us as the “Son of man”, His birth taking place on “September 29th”, which is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is not speculation, rather, truth, for Father God’s Word teaches and brings forth truth when you have eyes to see and ears to hear, understanding what “thus saith our LORD.”

Luke 1:5 says, “There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife [was] of the daughters of Aaron, and her name [was] Elisabeth.” “Zacharias” means “remembered of YAHOVAH.” “Aaron” means “light-bringer”, and he was head of the entire priestly order. “Elisabeth” means “oath of God.” “Abia {Abijah}”, means, “my father is YAHOVAH.” Zacharias was a priest, which means he was “the head of a priestly family from whom when David divided the priests into 24 classes, Abia was the 8th order [I Chronicles 24:10 ].” The number “eight” in Biblical Numerics means “new birth, new creation, new beginnings.” “The course of Abia” was a feast that took place, according to our solar calendar, from June 13th to June 19th {Sivan 12th to 18th}. As Father’s Word teaches us the dates of Christ Jesus’ conception and His birth, you want to keep the aforementioned feast timeframe within your mind. Zacharias was far from his home, at the Temple of Father God, fulfilling his priestly duties to our LORD.

Luke 1:6 says, “And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.” Zacharias and Elizabeth were “observing the divine laws of Father God” and this is why He chose them to proclaim the birth of Christ Jesus through John. Most often we are a spoiled and ungrateful children before our Father God whose only Begotten Son gave of His life for our sins, that we may come before our LORD and repent in prayer, without the need of the many sacrifices offered before His coming as was required by the Levitical laws. Father God declares Zacharias and Elizabeth were both “righteous, blameless”, worthy, as they met all the obligations of the priesthood daily, demonstrating their true love and faithfulness to our LORD God Almighty. Their way was not easy as it is for us today, yet, how many take the time to truly observe Father’s so precious love for us as He gave a path to repentance and forgiveness, sacrificing His Beloved Son, that we may come before Him each day without the labor of that which those before Christ endured.

Luke 1:7 says, “And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.” Elizabeth, in her youth, was unable to conceive a child, and now, she and her husband are, as we know it, elder, beyond the normal age for child bearing. However, when you are a part of the plan of Father God, all things are possible.

Luke 1:8 says, “And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,” This gives us a timeframe, Zacharias serving within the Temple of Father God, righteous, faithful, in all of his ways, during the course of Abia.

Luke 1:9 says, “According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.” Zacharias was doing all good things required by our Father God precisely as instructed, everything right and in order. As he burned the incense all of the people would gather outside of the temple, repenting of their sins before Father God, seeking His blessings as the smoke would rise from this Holy place. The burning of the incense, the smoke rising, a very sacred time, was symbolic of all prayers being heard by Almighty God and the children surely needed to see for belief. Keeping in mind the subject of this study, it also offers an exactness of the seed planting and birth of Christ Jesus.

Luke 1:10 says, “And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.” This should be so easily understood as these people are not much different from those claiming to be christians today, having that need to see, feel and touch. These people gathered around the temple depending on the smoke, as so-called christians today depend on their pulpit gurus, for reassurance that their prayers are being heard, that Father is listening. All you have to do is take Father God at His Word, demonstrating faith as you ask, seek and knock and stop looking for a specific sign or person to show what Father has already promised and given, if you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Luke 1:11 & 12 says, “And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.” “And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.” What Zacharias is experiencing would be a normal reaction for anyone who is a part of a supernatural act or spirit being truly of our Father God. Certainly there is no doubt angels exist as we are taught in Matthew 18:10 which says, “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.” When you are under the will of Father God, His angels protect, according to His will. Some will teach this is a common occurrence, angels appearing as this one, Gabriel, before the eyes of Zacharias, and they are contrary to the Word of Father God since this is not often spoken of within His Word. You best be sure that if the Holy Spirit of Father God speaks to you, it would be so overwhelming, so filling, the last thing on your mind would be telling someone because the words would not be there. Your spirit, heart and mind would be communing with Father God, weakened in the joy of His love.

Luke 1:13 says, “But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.” “John” means “YAHOVAH is a gracious giver.” Zacharias and Elizabeth are beyond childbearing years, so this child is a “gift” from Father God, given through His messenger, the angel Gabriel. Father named this child Himself. He shall be the prophet, John the Baptist. When you are a part of the plan of Almighty God there is no need to be afraid of any good thing pertaining to our Father who hears all prayers, knowing what we think and feel, giving what is needed, required, as all things come to pass according to His will.

Luke 1:14 & 15 says, “And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.” “For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.” You should have “joy and gladness” as well since this Verse should shed light on the fact that a fetus is a living, breathing life belonging to Father God, as He recognizes John, as he is yet within his mother’s womb, being “filled with the Holy Spirit.” For those who think, teach, believe, or what have you, that a child is not a human being until a particular month or even crying into the world, hear what the Word of Almighty God declares. This one, John, will not be playing church as a drunkard filled with wine, wondering and participating in babble and confusion as those calling themselves christians do. He will be about our Father’s business, chosen to do the will of Almighty God.

Luke 1:16 & 17 says, “And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.” “And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” John the Baptist shall be the predecessor of Christ Jesus as he teaches the true Word of Father God, turning those with ears to hear and eyes to see away from the world and to the truth with understanding, as to what “thus saith our LORD.” John shall come before Christ, just as Elijah did, having that same “spirit and power”, in the service of Almighty God, as His plan for humankind unfolds. Malachi 4:5 & 6 says, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:” “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” As Elijah, John shall be teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and not the doctrines and traditions of men, your pulpit gurus. If you understand the teachings of Elijah and John the Baptist, your mind and heart will be drawn away from false doctrines that rapture you into the arms of the false/fake christ [satan] with that great deception that shall come upon the whole earth at the appointed time. If you listen to the teachings of these prophets, judging the tree by its fruit, you will not waste another Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, whatever day you warm the pew of a house of lies, harlotry, babble and confusion because you will be too busy thanking Father God and His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus, as you study and build your gospel armor. Following the Christ-like path, nurturing yourself spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally on Father’s so precious Word, seeking truth only He can give when you ask, seek and knock, is what captivates your soul unto Him. Christ Jesus came into the world, being born of woman, the First Advent, and He shall return again soon, the Second Advent, when every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue confess Father God Almighty.

Luke 1:18 says, “And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.” Zacharias was questioning Father, which we should never do. “Whereby shall I know this”, is the same as saying, “How do I know this is true.” Our flesh speaks when it should be quiet and thankful. It is understood that Zacharias and Elizabeth were beyond childbearing years, however, all things are possible through Father God and when you are obedient, there is no room for doubt or unfaithfulness because that relinquishes being in spiritual contact with Father. As with Mary, young, having no husband, Elizabeth, the opposite, married, but beyond childbearing years, by different means of divine intervention, each woman shall conceive a child, our Lord Jesus Christ and John the Baptist.

Luke 1:19 says, “And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.” “Gabriel” means “man of God” and how happy he is “to bring good news {tidings}” to Zacharias, who was having trouble believing what he was hearing. Church houses are filled daily with those calling themselves christians who have trouble believing truth when it taught. Just as Gabriel was happy to “stand in the presence of God”, so shall there be joy in our hearts to be a part of the mighty plan of Father God. There is only one way to know what that plan is, rejoicing within it, sharing “glad tidings”, and that is by knowing what “thus saith our Lord”, which comes by studying the pure Word of Father God seeking knowledge that is divine because it is a “gift” from Almighty God. In understanding the purpose of the gifts of Father God, you come to the understanding that it is for the purpose of and to be prepared for the Day of our Lord, being the Second Advent of Christ Jesus, which is yet to come.

Luke 1:20 says, “And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.” “Ask, and you shall receive.” Zacharias wanted a sign from Father God that what Gabriel spoke was truth and so he received a sign. Not a word would come from his lips until after the prophet, John, would be born. For the next nine months, Zacharias, a priest, his duties requiring him to speak, will be speechless. Never doubt Father God. “Nine” in Biblical Numerics means “Fruit of the spirit, divine completeness from the LORD.” The “season” shall follow the “The Feast of Tabernacles, the course of Abia”, which shall end on June 19th {18th Sivan}. Zacharias’ speechlessness is a direct result of not having a discerning spirit and the faith to accept those things unseen. When you are chosen from before the foundation of this world, from the First Earth Age, being a servant in the service of our LORD with your mind, heart, having hands that labor for Father God, there is a path that is to be followed and never questioned. All that is needed to do the will of Almighty God is given, that being “His gift”, making a way for the fulfillment of His plan.

Luke 1:21 & 22 says, “And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.” “And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.” All of the people were gathered outside of the temple, the smoke of the incense rising to Father God as prayers were being offered for forgiveness, comfort, healing, seeking those things needed, all of the same things we pray, talk with our Father God about today, daily, when you are in love with He who created you for His good pleasure. There they waited for Zacharias, a man of God, a high priest, to speak to them. He is their teacher and they “wondered {marvelled}” why it was taking so long for the burning of the incense and Zacharias coming out of the temple to pray with them. Finally appearing, he could not speak from his mouth, so he gestured with his hands, motioning to them, the people believing he had fallen asleep and had a vision. He did not physically fall asleep, however spiritually he did take a nap, not believing, when he should have been rejoicing, his faith and belief in jubilation, for that is the peace of your spirit, when you understand truth and believe. This does not mean there will not be hard times as we live in this flesh, however faith, hope, trust, and most of all love for Father God and His Beloved Son, when you are studying His Word, preparing each day for those things yet to come, knowing you are a part of the mighty plan of Father God, will bring you a peace within your spirit those playing church will never understand.

Luke 1:23 says, “And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.” “Ministration” means “a service or ministry of the priests relative to the prayers and sacrifices offered to God”, for Zacharias, this being the “course of Abia”, the “eighth {new birth, new creation, new beginning}” order of the feast days. Once again, according to our calendar, from June 13th to June 19th {Sivan 12th to 18th}, Zacharias’ service to our Father God, which was at the temple in Jerusalem, ending on the eve of June 19th, sunset on a Friday, as all “ministrations” did, there being 24 of them [IChronicles – Chapter 24 ], he then returned to his home which was in Nazareth of Galilee, at least thirty miles for him to travel. Keep in mind, Zacharias was not a young man, “well stricken in years”, unable to travel the distance in one day, rather, “three {resurrection, divine completeness and perfection}” days, arriving home on June 23rd, having left on the 20th, the 19th a Sabbath day, so he would not have been permitted to take his journey on that day. These dates are very important in understanding the time of the conception of Christ Jesus and the date of His birth. When Zacharias arrived home, he knew his wife.

Luke 1:24 & 25 says, “And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,” “Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on [me], to take away my reproach among men.” Just as Gabriel had announced to Zacharias, he knew his wife on the first day of his arrival home, “after those days of travel”, as Father God had ordained. She “hid herself five {grace or God’s goodness} months” because that was the will of Father God, she knowing something beautiful had occurred that people would not understand, her having previously being “barren and stricken in years.” When Father God gives a gift, you will not shout it in a hallelujah corner, rather, you will be within your closet in prayer, your soul communing with our LORD, peaceful within your spirit. This time of silence for Elizabeth, five months, would now be November 24th. You can be sure she had much to speak with Father God about, having prayed many times for children, feeling “shame {reproach}” never having conceived because a woman is expected to have children. Genesis 30:23 says, “And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:” When you are a part of the plan of Almighty God, all things shall occur at the appointed time, according to His will. Not all women shall have children and this is just the way Father wants it since He has a purpose for all of His children, especially His very elect.

Luke 1:26 & 27 says, “And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,” “To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.” “Galilee”, when taken back to its prime, means, “roll away.” There will come a time when a stone shall be “rolled away” after the crucifixion of Christ Jesus. “Nazareth” means “the guarded one.” “Espoused” means “to be promised in marriage, be betrothed, engaged.” “Joseph” means “let him add, YAHOVAH has added.” “Mary” means “rebellion.” The first female within this Flesh or Second Earth Age was named by Adam and he called her “woman.” Her name was later changed to “Eve” after her “rebellious” act within the Garden of Eden, in that satan deceived her. In the New Testament comes “Mary {rebellion}”, who shall “bring forth the Beloved Son of Almighty God.” Understand that she was chosen before the foundation of the Flesh or Second Earth Age, Mary responded, “be it unto me according to thy {Father God} word.” She contradicted “the rebellion {deception}” within the Garden of Eden, restoring a voice of belief in Father God, “His will be done in all things.” Mary was chosen to bring forth the “Life of Father God, Christ Jesus, our Living Word” to this earth, the seed planted within each and every child “Father God has created, His Word”, when you have eyes to see and ears to hear what “thus saith our LORD.” As we continue on with this marvelous teaching, John the Baptist is now “six {weakness of man, evils of satan, manifestation of sin} months” within the womb of Elizabeth, another thirty days added, we are now at December 24th. Jewish days begin at sundown the day prior into sundown the next day. Our calendar changes at midnight, however in this time we are studying, it was from sunset to sunset. Therefore, Gabriel came unto Mary on our eve of December 23rd, with glad tidings that she was chosen to bring forth a “perfect Child, Christ Jesus, our Messiah.” That “wondrous” seed planted within her womb on our December 25th {1st of Tebeth}, sundown of the 24th in that day, Christ Jesus now dwelling with mankind, six months separating John the Baptist from our Lord Jesus Christ. Once a seed of life is planted within the womb of a woman, from the very second, this is a child, a human being, dispelling the myth that a child is not a living being until is reaches a particular stage of life within the womb or at birth. Father God’s Word is not to be compromised. This is what “thus saith our LORD.” This does not dispel our celebrating “Christ on December 25” since this is the day that “Father God, through His Beloved Son”, came to dwell with mankind. Be it understood, once the soul and spirit enters into the embryo within the womb, the time of conception, this is life and this is what each and every human being upon the whole earth should be celebrating.

Luke 1:28 & 29 says, “And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women.” “And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.” Isaiah 7:14 says, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Father God’s prophecy is being fulfilled, coming to life. While Mary was blessed in that she was chosen to bring forth Christ Jesus, she is not to be praised, for our Lord Jesus Christ teaches and instructs us on how we should pray to our Father God, for only He is worthy to be praised, beginning at Luke 11:2 & Matthew 6:9 . When you are chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age to be in the service of Father God, as Mary, you do not question His Word, lacking faith or belief, you seek understanding “through His Word.” It is a blessing to be called “chosen”, and Mary as the very elect of this time, wanted to understand that which Gabriel spoke.

Luke 1:30 & 31 says, “And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.” “And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” “JESUS” means “YAHOVAH is salvation - Jesus, the Son of God, the Saviour of mankind, God incarnate.” “YAHOVAH” means “the existing One, I AM THAT I AM”, as is taught in Exodus 3:14 , which says, “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” “By the blessings of Father God Almighty, Christ Jesus, Emmanuel, is our Savior.”

Luke 1:32 & 33 says, “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:” “And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Mary is being told that she will give birth to our “Savior of the world” and all of humankind will look to “Christ Jesus for salvation.” “He is the Beloved Son of Father God Almighty, and Christ Jesus shall be our King of kings and Lord of lords for all of Eternity.” The “birth of Christ Jesus is the First Advent” and “He came as Messiah.” When “Christ Jesus” returns at the “Seventh Trump” to this world, the “Second Advent”, He shall come with a “rod of iron”, which is “discipline”, and every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue, including satan, shall confess our “Father God Almighty”, as “Christ Jesus takes” his seat on the “throne of David”, where He shall reign forever as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Luke 1:34 says, “Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?” Mary is not showing a lack of faith, questioning or doubting our Father God as Zacharias did. She is merely seeking understanding of the natural order of things, knowing how Adam knew his wife and it being so down through the generations. She had never laid with a man and is confused as to how Christ Jesus would be born through her. Father God is Creator of Heaven and earth. He spoke and nothing became everything and formed Adam from the dust of the earth, from his rib creating Eve. All things belong to Father and He created all which exists, seen and unseen. This birth shall be by “Divine Intervention” through the Holy Spirit and Mary is about to come unto that understanding. If you claim to love Father God, there should never be any doubt that our salvation is based upon the “Divine Birth of Christ Jesus”, who is “Perfect”, and shed His blood on that cross, an “Unblemished Sacrifice” for you and me, all of humankind who believe with a pure heart.

Luke 1:35 says, “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Father God is fulfilling His promise of Genesis 3:15 which says, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” This teaches us that Christ Jesus shall be born of woman and shall shed His flesh at the hands of the kenites, the children of satan. The prophets foretold all throughout the Old Testament of the coming of “Messiah, Jesus Christ.” Father God gives us a most “Precious Gift”, a depth of love so deep it can never be measured as our “Redeemer” comes to free us from the bonds of sin that bind and could bring destruction [satan] of souls. He is a “Devine Child” of our “Most High Father God” through the blessing of the “Holy Spirit.”

Luke 1:36 & 37 says, “And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.” “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Mary asked the question and received the answer. Elizabeth is with child, by the divine intervention of Father God, understanding her circumstance, being six months within her pregnancy, John the Baptist within her womb. Mary, by this same divine intervention, shall carry Christ Jesus within her womb, Father God planting His seed on December 25th. All things are possible with Father God and He proves His power and might over and over if you have eyes to see and ears to hear. Father’s Word is complete and as we have clearly learned, John the Baptist was a forerunner for Christ Jesus, teaching us the exact time of His birth, John being born in the Spring and Yeshuah, Christ Jesus, Emmanuel, born in the fall, six months later, being September 29th, the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. It would not have been in the winter since there were shepherds with their flocks, and sheep would not be grazing on frozen ground bearing no grass. Also, the greedy tax collectors would not have been stealing from the people at an inconvenient time, travelling from house to house in frigid weather, when they could more comfortably embezzle during the comfortable seasons.

Luke 1:38 says, “And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.” Mary, understanding the will of Father God, she being in His service, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh of Second Earth Age, accepted her commission faithfully and happy to be in the service of our LORD. This is how it should be with all of Father’s children. We are to bring Him pleasure and if you do not know Father God and His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus, bringing Him happiness would be a difficult task. Father God will intercede within the lives of His chosen children, however not within the lives of those who have free will. You must ask, seek Father and with faithful study you can overcome the stand you took within the First Earth Age, whether it was one of straddling the fence, not standing with Father or satan, or standing with satan. Many ask how they know if they are chosen of Father God and the answer is simple. When you hear “Truth”, you recognize it and are drawn to study, because you just cannot get enough of what “thus saith our LORD.”

As for “Christmas Day”, here again is choice. You can worship Father God, thanking Him for Christ Jesus, “Emmanuel, God with us”, or, you can prance and dance with santa claus. Look at his name, being santa, scramble, and you have satan. Would not satan just love to take your eyes off of Christ Jesus on this most Holy Day, especially knowing we are in the end days, the Book of Revelation being revealed each and every day concerning the “Generation of the Fig Tree.” Continuing on, there is claus. The claus process is the most significant gas desulfurizing process, recovering elemental sulfur from gaseous hydrogen sulfide . First invented over 100 years ago, the claus process has become the industry standard. The multi-step process recovers sulfur from the gaseous hydrogen sulfide found in raw natural gas and from the by-product gases containing hydrogen sulfide derived from refining “ crude oil” and other industrial processes. The final step involves oxidation of the hydrogen sulfide. There is no need to read between the lines here.

I was raised within a “home”, not a house or a building. There was a lot of love surrounding myself and my siblings. Our Mother was a true matriarch and was not ashamed of her love for Father God and Christ Jesus, surrounding herself in feverish prayer with the sweet quietness of the Holy Spirit. We were raised to love Father with all of our might, to pray faithfully and to do our best to follow the path Christ Jesus taught. As children, we celebrated holidays, Christmas Day being very special within our home throughout the years, even as adults. The aromas of wonderful foods permeating the warmth of our abode, a beautiful tree, and many, many gifts my Mother struggled hard to provide for us. However, there were no toys and fun before Father God and Christ Jesus. Our day, as everyday, began with prayer, each child, from the time you were able to formulate a sentence, speaking to Father God. We knew those toys and good things were just that, things, and not the true meaning of “Christmas Day.” My Mother, her name was Mary and she was a rebellious woman. Her spirit was a sweet, kind and loving one, but if you pushed, Mother stood her ground. Prayer was her forte and you could feel the love for Father God with each word she spoke, see it on her face while in silent prayer. Mother rebelled against any who did not give Father God all the praise and glory, never ashamed to set you right if you presented yourself wrong. A Mother raises her children in the ways of our LORD, the responsibility as adults, becoming our own. In this way, it is a choice as to which road you take in life, knowing there is more than one. Father God gave us Mothers and Dads to love their children as He loves all of His children, each and every soul. As children of Father God, until this day, we celebrate “Christ Jesus at Christmas.” Yes, we had/have fun, share, care and love one another and the people around us, and it so very easy because it was a natural part of our growing years, our daily lives. Father God created us for His pleasure and we are made in His likeness, so surely He wants us to have pleasure within this life. However, when an i-pod is priority over teaching your children of Christ Jesus, there is a very serious problem within your household. What families did fifty years ago cannot be duplicated today because we are now living within the Fig Tree Generation, the last generation and Christ Jesus will not delay His coming, and all need to be ready. satan shall be cast to this earth first and if you are not versed within Father’s Word, you will think that gift-bearing fool is our True Christ Jesus. That vile creature, death himself will be your santa claus “if” you are not studying Father’s Word to understand those events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Christ Jesus came to be with us on “Christmas Day” to bring us salvation. He rode on that lowly ass and was sacrificed for our sins, “Perfect”, in all of His ways during Passover. There is a day coming when Christ Jesus shall return to us, however it will not be on a lowly ass. He will be coming with a “rod of iron {discipline}”, and every knee shall bow before Him as every tongue confesses Father God Almighty, and there will be a one thousand year teaching as this world has never known. I believe any who truly want to know and understand our Father’s Word, asking, seeking and knocking, it will be given because Father wishes none of His children to be dull, void of His Truths. As you celebrate Christmas, cherish our “YAHOVAH Father God” and “Yeshua Christ Jesus”, bruising Them {spiritually speaking} with your prayers and love, teaching your children and anyone who will listen, giving them a grand example to follow, of how precious “Christmas Day” is and what it means. “Father God gave us a Gift of His Beloved Son, so everyday is Christmas. Father God and Christ Jesus, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit, is with us every second, never leaving us. People come and go. Father God is loving, kind, faithful and merciful. I pray you are giving our LORD a gift of love everyday. Christ Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Amen, Amen {That’s That}”

Yours In Christ,
I Bid You Peace

UNDERSTAND THE PARABLES

MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Matthew 13:34 says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:” “Parabole {par-ab-ol-ay'}” is “parable” in the Greek, meaning, “a proverb, an earthly story with a heavenly meaning, an example by which a doctrine or precept is illustrated. An instructive saying, involving some likeness or comparison and having preceptive or admonitory force, comparison of one thing with another, likeness, similitude.” It is derived from “paraballo {par-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to put one thing by the side of another for the sake of comparison, to compare, liken, to put one's self, betake one's self into a place or to a person.”

Matthew 13:35 says, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” “Katabole {kat-ab-ol-ay'}” is “foundation” in the Greek, meaning “a throwing or laying down, a) the injection or depositing of the virile semen in the womb, b) of the seed of plants and animals; a founding (laying down a foundation).” It is derived from “kataballo {kat-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to cast down, to put in a lower place.” “Secret” means “to conceal”, and we learn from our Father’s Word as Proverbs 25:2 says, “[It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.” This passage of Scripture Christ Jesus is teaching us is from Psalms 78:2 which says, “I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old.” Christ translated “old” to “the foundation of the world.” Our Lord taught by utilizing many parables in Matthew – Chapter 13. He taught {1} The Parable of the Sower, {2} The Parable of the Tares, {3} The Parable of the Treasure in the Field, {4} The Parable of the Pearls, {5} The Parable of the Net Cast into the Sea, {6} The Parable of the Mustard Seed, {7} The Parable of the Leaven, and {8} The Parable of the Householder. Christ Jesus’ disciples asked Him why did He teach the multitude with parables [Matthew 13:10].

Matthew 13:11 says, “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.” Paul explains this Verse by teaching us the following in I Corinthians – Chapter 1. Verse 26 says, “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:” Verse 27 says, But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” Verse 28 says, “And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:” Verse 29 says, “That no flesh should glory in his presence.” Your stand against satan’s rebellion in the First or Former Earth Age is what guarantees understanding the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. This Flesh Age we now live in serves as a testing period only, and it is for those who failed our Father in the First or Former Earth Age. All souls are born into this Flesh or Second Earth Age to finally take a stand, and let their yea be yea and their nay, nay, which means you will follow and not rebel against our Father God Almighty or do so in ignorance.

Matthew 13:12 says, “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” Our Father has always provided each dispensation of the Ages with a remnant that understood the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever hath is given more abundance because that one studies our Father’s word Precept upon Precept and Line upon Line, or Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Verse 4 says, “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” An innocent little child does not question their parent’s instruction; therefore, as children of our Parent, our Father God, we should not question the instruction of His Word and seek to twist His Word with our own private and/or flesh interpretation.

Matthew 13:13 says, “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” Christ Jesus said that if you were unable to understand the Parable of the Sower, then you would not understand any of the parables, including the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven [Mark 4:1 – 20]. Humility is the key, which is having no respect of persons with degrees and certificates from man’s universities and colleges, rather recognizing one endowed with the unction of the Holy Spirit of our Father.

Matthew 13:14 says, “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:” “Esaias” is “Isaiah” the prophet, and this passage that Christ is teaching is Isaiah 6:9 which says, “And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.” Studying and understanding our Father’s Word is the most important ministry that is inspiring to us, edifying to others and pleasing to our Father God. Paul said in I Corinthians 14:1, “Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.” We further learn in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”

Matthew 13:15 says, “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Christ Jesus is continuing to teach from Isaiah – Chapter 6. Verse 10 says, “Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.” “Convert {converted}” means, “to return, turn back, come back, or take a stand and show our Father total respect, love, and obedience, to return to a better mind, be restored, be brought back, from that place of following after satan’s rebellion or being lukewarm [no stand at all, either for or against our Father or satan].” Our Father God created each soul for His pleasure, including satan before his fall from our Father God’s love and grace. We should always stand with our Father and never with anything or anyone [satan] created by our Father God.

Matthew 13:16 says, “But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.” Those with eyes to see and ears to hear stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion in the First or Former Earth Age. Paul teaches in Ephesians 1:12, “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Verse 13 says, “In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,” Verse 14 says, “Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Therefore, those with eyes to see and ears to hear do not question our Father’s Word, rather, seek a better understanding by a Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse study of His Word of Truth each and every day. Further, as Paul teaches and John reiterates, I John 2:20 says, “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. Verse 24 says, “Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.” Verse 27 says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” Seek out someone with the anointing of our Father, which is the unction from the Holy One. Once you are on the proper path of understanding, the false doctrine of man will not entangle you within the snare of enticing words of man’s wisdom, which is foolishness with our Father God.

Matthew 13:17 says, “For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].” The prophets and the righteous who do not live in our dispensation of time would not see the age of modern technology. Satellites that transmit image’s from country to country, computers, spacecraft, etc., so the very prophecies that they foretold us about were inconceivable for them to fully comprehend. This is an indicator that the prophets and the righteous were aided by our Father’s Holy Spirit in penning the prophecies that we have seen or will see come to pass in our lifetimes. One of the major events or mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that the prophets and the righteous desired to see is satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus. They knew of the Parable of the Tares because they co-existed then as they do today. They also understood satan’s overthrow from the Former or First Earth Age known in the Greek as the “katabole.” Remember that “katabole” is derived from “kataballo {kat-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to cast down, to put in a lower place.” This is exactly what happened to satan after his overthrow in the First Earth Age. The prophet Ezekiel teaches us that satan went from the status of a king to that of a prince because of his rebellion against our Father God [Ezekiel – Chapter 28]. This is a mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven that the many called do not understand, but the chosen are blessed by our Father to comprehend. Why then are some called and other’s chosen? Paul teaches us why in his epistle to the Romans as follows.

Romans 8:28 says, “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.” In the First Earth Age when satan rebelled against our Father, the chosen were those who stood against satan’s folly. There are many, many pulpit gurus who say they were called, by their local phone company perhaps, in this Flesh or Second Earth Age who either took no stand at all or were persuaded to follow satan’s disobedience against our Father, and because of this defiance, were certainly not chosen to teach or lead Father’s children as we live today. Therefore, those who love Almighty God are the chosen children because they stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion and are living in this Flesh or Second Earth Age for the purpose of preaching the Gospel of Truth or the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah 52:7 teaches, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” Verse 8 says, “Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.” The watchmen are those living in this Flesh Age that stood with our Father against satan’s overthrow (katabole) in the First Age.

Romans 8:29 says, “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.” “Jesus is Emmanuel”, meaning, “God with us”, as Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:” Christ Jesus said that if you have seen the Son, then you have also seen the Father. Therefore, Jesus was the exact flesh image of our Father’s Heavenly or Spiritual personification. Verse 27 says “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Our father did not think Himself too good to be clothed in the same flesh body He fashioned for us [Hebrews – Chapter 2]. Each one of us, like Christ Jesus, is the exact carbon copy of our heavenly selves. Our Lord would further say that flesh is flesh, and spirit is spirit. Therefore, being conformed to the image of Christ also entails being fashioned after His spiritual attributes, which are power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing [Revelation 5:12]. Also, understand that Father said “male and female created He them”, which should dispense any erroneous notion that women cannot preach the Gospel of Father’s Word of Truth. “Foreknow” means, “to have knowledge of the actions of one beforehand because of their actions in the Former or First Earth Age.” Jeremiah 1:4 says, “Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,” Verse 5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Our Father is testifying that He knew each of us born into this Flesh Age before we were “Born From Above {through the womb}.” Father knew us “before” because we co-existed with Him in a prior Age where satan rebelled against our Father and one-third of Father’s children followed after satan’s rebellion, which was overthrown [Revelation – Chapter 12].

Romans 8:30 says, “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.” You can only be called if you are both sanctified and ordained (chosen) before being formed in your mother’s womb, hence from the Former or First Earth Age. Christ Jesus said in John 15:16, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” Verse 27 says, “And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” “Beginning” as in the sense of when you were first created by Father God, you were with Christ Jesus; from the Former or First Earth Age into this present, Flesh or Second Earth Age.

Romans 8:31 says, “What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?” Paul’s further teachings help us understand this Verse as Romans 9:14 says, “What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? God forbid.” Verse 19 says, “Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?” Verse 20 says, “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus?” Verse 21 says, “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” Verse 22 says, “[What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:” Verse 23 says, “And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,” Verse 24 says, “Even us, whom he hath called.” Verse 29 says, “And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.” Our Father God, the LORD of hosts could have destroyed the rebellious children with the First Earth Age itself {spirit}. However, our Father chose that they be saved and enter into this Second Earth Age {flesh} to make the stand they neglected to make against satan’s rebellion from the beginning, or from “afore” as Paul teaches. It can be said that those who stood against satan’s rebellion chose to be sent into this Age of Flesh as Isaiah 6:8 says, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.”

Romans 8:32 says, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” “All things” for Kingdom building are freely and abundantly given including the wisdom to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, if one stood against satan’s rebellion from afore, being the Former or First Earth Age. Our Father loves all of His children, even the rebellious from the Age that was. It is the duty and obligation of those who withstood satan’s rebellion to preach the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven because this is our Father’s will. Luke 17:10 says, “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”

Romans 8:33 says, “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth.” Our Father is always completely just and fair and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Our Father does not play favorites, rather rewards all of His children in accordance to their actions. Those who withstood satan’s rebellion are not better than anyone else, however our Father can count on them in this Flesh or Second Earth Age to withstand satan because they withstood his rebellion from the Former or First Earth Age. Therefore, for you to understand the Parables Christ taught, you must have stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion from the beginning, and remain steadfast even in the midst of the rebellion of this present time.

Christ Jesus taught eight Parables in Matthew – Chapter 13 to help us understand the mystery of the sons of Cain, who are the kenites; kept secret, as satan’s rebellion, from the foundation of this Age.

{1} The Parable of the Sower

Christ Jesus said you must understand this parable or you would not understand any of His parables [Mark 41:1 – 13]. The word of our Father is compared to a seed planted in the earth, and some of these seeds are planted by the wayside, some on stony ground, some amongst thorns, and other’s on good ground. The following teaching of “The Sower” is the reason many are called in this Age of the Flesh or Second Earth [World] Age, however few are chosen to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of our Father. The seeds of truth that fall by the wayside fall upon the ears of the spiritually dead. Christ said, “Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts [Mark 4:15].” These are composed of the one-third who followed after satan’s rebellion and overthrow from the Former or First Earth Age. The seeds of truth that are planted in stony ground and the seeds of truth that are planted amongst the thorns are the lukewarm who took no stand either then or presently. They usually sit in church houses for specific events or after they have lived it up in the world, now claim they have found “gawd”, or that “gawd” called them. Christ said of the seeds planted in stony ground, “when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended [Mark 4:16 & 17].” These are normally the churchgoers who believe they will rapture or fly away before the tribulation of satan upon the earth. Christ said, “And these are the seeds planted amongst the thorns, are such that hear the word, “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful [Mark 4:18 & 19].” These are they who as long as everything is all right in their circle, have little time to worry or concern themselves with others. The seeds received into the good ground are the chosen few, “such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred [Mark 4:20].” These are they who withstood satan’s rebellion and overthrow, and anxiously receive the truth and share that truth with the way-sided, the stoned, and the thorn choked, with the help of our Father’s precious Holy Spirit. Our Father said to the prophet Ezekiel in Chapter 2 - Verse 3, “Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day. Verse 4 says, “For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.” Verse 5 says, “And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.” Verse 6 says, “And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.”

{2} The Parable of the Tares

Christ Jesus said concerning this parable, “An enemy hath done this [Matthew 13:28].” This is a compatible secret from the foundation of the world with satan’s rebellion and overthrow because it has to do with his offspring. Many people do not realize that Cain was satan and Eve’s son, and not Adam’s child. Christ explains this fact in this parable, which is the sin in the Garden of Eden from Genesis – Chapter 3. Hear the “Parable of the Tares” of the field as taught by Christ Jesus. Our Lord compared our Father to a man who sowed good seed in His field {born from above, John – Chapter 3}. Our Father’s enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Christ explains that “the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; The enemy that sowed them is the devil [Matthew 13:37 – 39].” “Children” is “huios {hwee-os'}” in the Greek, meaning, “generally used of the offspring of men, in a restricted sense, the male offspring (one born by a father and of a mother), in a wider sense, a descendant, one of the posterity of any one.” The devil is one of satan’s names, as is wicked one, and in the Garden of Eden he produced Cain with Eve [Genesis 3:3 – 7]. “Cain {Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word No. 07014}” is associated with the tribe of the kenites, making the kenites his offspring. Cain is the son of satan, and Cain’s children, the kenites, are the tares sowed by our Father’s enemy. Christ utilized two of satan’s names in this parable, being the wicked one and the devil [1 John 3:8 – 12]. John reveals that the serpent in the Garden of Eden was satan as Revelation 12:9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

{3} The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Christ Jesus said that a mustard seed is the least of all seeds, ”but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof [Matthew 13:32].” Christ compares our faith to that of a mustard seed as Matthew 17:20 says, “And Jesus said unto them, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” The least amount of faith can remove all the power of false doctrine, even revealing unto us the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. The vile one, satan and his offspring, Cain and the kenites, do not want the truth about them revealed so that satan can perpetrate his deception of the instead of jesus with relative ease and success. If you do not know what happened in the Former or first Earth Age, or the beginning, then you will never understand this present, Flesh or Second Earth Age. Paul said in Romans 10:17, “So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The truth will make us free from satan’s lies and false teachings, just a little bit of Father’s truth every day will surely keep satan’s temptation and deception away.

{4} The Parable of the Leaven

In this parable Christ Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened [Matthew 13:33].” Three measures of meal was the standard grain offering to Father God. However, more than this, in the Parable of the Sower that Christ said we all need to understand in order to comprehend any of His parables, there are four types of people who hear the Word of our Father, and three of those types are stiff-necked, rebellious and hardhearted. Christ said, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [Matthew 16:6], which, is the “false doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [Matthew 16:11].” Leaven is applied to that which, though small in quantity, yet by its influence thoroughly pervades a thing; "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump", just as a little deception and man’s traditions saturates the soul from generation unto generation.

{5} The Parable of the Treasure in the Field

Christ Jesus said concerning this parable, “the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field [Matthew 13:44].” Therefore, “Buy the truth, and sell [it] not; [also] wisdom, and instruction, and understanding [Proverbs 23:23].” Proverbs 2:3 says, “Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;” Verse 4 says, “If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;” Verse 5 says, “Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.” Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

{6} The Parable of the Pearls

This parable is much like the Parable of the Hidden Treasure in the field. Christ Jesus said, “the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:” “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it [Matthew 13:45 & 46.” Isaiah 33:6 says, “And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.” Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.” “Fear” means “love.” “Pearl” is the Greek word “margarites {mar-gar-ee'-tace}”, meaning, “a word of great value, i.e., the most sacred and precious teachings of the Gospel thrust upon the most wicked and abandoned men (incompetent as they are, through their hostility to the Gospel, to receive them), and thus to profane them.”

{7} The Parable of the Net Cast into the Sea

Christ Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:” “Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away [Matthew 13:47 & 48].” In a sea you will find sea scavengers unfit for consumption and food blessed by our Father for sustenance. Christ is likening the tares and the wheat by the comparison of the net cast into the sea and filled with both the fit and the unfit, or the children of our Father and the children [kenites] of the devil.

{8} The Parable of the Householder

Christ Jesus ends His parables with, “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 [Matthew 13:52].” All who have accepted Christ as their personal Savior become as Paul teaches, a new creation. II Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Many of the scribes that penned the teachings of the prophets and even into the times of Christ and the Apostles, were tares, or the offspring of Cain who was the son of satan. I Chronicles 2:55 says, “And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, [and] Suchathites. These [are] the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.” Matthew 23:1 says, “Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,” Verse 2 says, “Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:” Verse 3 says, “All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.” Remember Isaiah’s teaching that “the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure [Isaiah 33:6].” We must purge out the old leaven and become a new lump unto our Father God. The way to accomplish this is to study all of our Father God’s Word, being the Old Testament and the New Testament, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Paul said in II Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Verse 16 says, “But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”

CONCLUSION

The eight Parables that Christ Jesus taught in Matthew – Chapter 13 all have one thing in common, they revolve around the kenites, Cain’s offspring, who was the child of satan and Eve. Christ said let the tares grow together with the wheat until the harvest, which is the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. By the Son of man, “So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth , and sever the wicked from among the just,” “And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth [Matthew 13:49 & 50].” “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear [Matthew 13:43].” Our Lord’s question us is, all of mankind is, “Have ye understood all these things? Can we say unto him, Yea, Lord? [Matthew 13:51].” I Corinthians 3:7 says, “So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” Amen Amen!!!~

CAUGHT UP

I Would Not Have You To Be Ignorant

Many church attendees believe that the church will rapture or flyaway before the tribulation of the anti-christ, which is satan’s deception as he who comes instead of Christ Jesus. This deception of satan as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus occurs before the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, which is the Day of the Lord. The church is “caught up” in an ocean of deception, misinterpreting Paul’s teaching from [IThessalonians 4:17] which says, “Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” It is necessary to the subject matter that Paul is addressing within this Verse, which is outlined starting with Verse 13. Therefore, one should revert back to the subject line or back to [IThessalonians 4:13], and not hop and skip around because this is why Paul’s teaching is so unjustly misunderstood. It is necessary to seek to understand the intended meaning of the phrase “caught up”, which means it is necessary to break back these words into the original Greek language. Often times our English understanding of other languages does not fully translate the intended thought or idea intended. “Caught Up” is the Greek word “harpazo {har-pad'-zo}, meaning to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away.” It is probably akin to the Greek word “airo {ah'-ee-ro}”, meaning “to take away from another what is his or what is committed to him, to take by force.” Also, “to take from among the living, either by a natural death, or by violence, cause to cease, to take off or away what is attached to anything, to move from its place.” These definitions of the words “caught up” are attached to the subject which is found in I Thessalonians 4:13, which says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Paul’s subject has absolutely nothing to do with those who attend church buildings escaping the tribulation of satan as the anti-christ, rather concerns those who are asleep or those who have ceased living in flesh bodies since they have passed away, and absent from the flesh body is present with our LORD. I, as Paul, “would not have you to be ignorant”, therefore let us study Paul’s teaching of “where the dead are” Verse by Verse, which as you will see does not in any way address the rapture or flyaway of the church attendees.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 4, Verses 13 - 18 [Subject – Those Who Are Asleep]

I Thessalonians 4:13 says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” “Asleep” is the Greek word “koimao {koy-mah'-o}, meaning to die.” Christ Jesus taught us concerning those asleep or who have died in the flesh in Luke 8:52 which says, “Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.” In this particular teaching the ruler of a synagogue’s daughter had fallen asleep or passed away in the flesh. The next Verses of Christ Jesus’ teaching bear out why Paul taught us not to be ignorant concerning those who are asleep or have died in the flesh because it is ignorance that causes you to have no hope. Luke 8:53 says, “And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.” Paul’s teaching of asleep and Christ Jesus’ teaching of sleepeth have the same meaning, to die in the flesh. Ecclesiastes teaches 12:6 says, “Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.” Verse 7 says, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” As Paul teaches in another of his Epistles, “it is far better to be absent from the flesh and to be present with the LORD.” Those that laughed and scorned Christ Jesus are the “ignorant”, which means “to err or sin through mistake, to be wrong.” Luke 8:54 says, “And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.” Christ Jesus is the resurrection of life. When Lazarus, Martha and Mary’s brother, passed away, Christ Jesus said in John 11:11, “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.” John 11:25 says, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” John 11:26 says, “And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” Christ Jesus taught those of us alive, remaining in the flesh what occurs at the hour of another’s individuals flesh death, being, they are loosed and let go. Our Lord led captivity captive, which means Christ Jesus is our victory over the grave and death, that is the devil, which as Paul teaches, who through fear of death were all our lifetime subject to bondage. It is because of the foolishness taught from pulpits that most people have no concept of where their loved ones and friends are while absent from the flesh. They are not in some hole in the ground, but in the presence of our Father God as we were taught from in Ecclesiastes 12:6-7. Every soul returns back unto our Father God who breathed the breath of life body into every soul created for His pleasure. This includes the good, the bad, and the pretty and ugly [Luke 16:19-31]. Luke 8:55 says, “And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.” Spirit is the breath of life body that our Father God breathed into every flesh living soul. It is the inner man or spiritual body that instantly comes alive at the moment of one’s flesh death [I Corinthians - Chapter 15]. Do not just read over what Christ Jesus said to give the risen maiden. Christ Jesus said “give her meat”, not milk, but meat. And, once again through the teachings of Paul we learn, “For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.” “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil [Hebrews 5:13]”, or the difference between ignorance and understanding. It is truly evil to allow yourself to be steeped in the traditions of man rather than the truth of our Father God’s written Word. The evil one satan binds the ignorant and unlearned with misunderstanding and lies from generation unto generation. Thanks be unto our Father God who incarnated Himself in the person of Christ Jesus, and John teaches in John 1:14, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” You should show yourself approved unto our Father God by studying His written word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, daily.

I Thessalonians 4:14 says, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”. Do not forget so soon Christ Jesus’ teaching concerning Lazarus which says, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” When Christ Jesus was crucified one of the malefactor’s crucified with Him said in Luke 23:42 & 43, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Christ Jesus said” Today”, not some future day; “Today, as in now or at the moment one sheds this fragile flesh domicile.” Peter teaches in I Peter 3:18, “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” This Verse says it all concerning those who are asleep in the flesh. Those who are asleep are the equivalent of death in the flesh, however they are alive by the Spirit, that is the Spirit of our Father God. From Genesis we learn in Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Our Father God breathed into our flesh bodies the breath of life or spiritual body that immediately takes over at the moment of death of the flesh body. Paul teaches in I Corinthians 15:20, “But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.” Verse 23 says, “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.” Paul is teaching about two sets of people; those already passed from the flesh to the spirit realm, and those who remain alive unto the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Did Paul say that Christ would rise? No, Paul teaches that Christ “is risen”, therefore the dead in the flesh are risen with Christ also, and anyone who remains alive until the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will immediately be transfigured into spiritual bodies without ever dying in the flesh. I Peter 3:19 says, “By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;” This Verse is why I turned toward this particular teaching of Peter. Many believe that Christ Jesus was dead in the grave for three and one-half days, however Christ Jesus was not dead, because He is “Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us”, and satan, death could not hold the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who is Christ Jesus. Peter teaches that Christ entered into satan’s domain and preached the Gospel unto the imprisoned spirits, or those who had died in the flesh before our Lord was born from above. Our Father God is always fair and just, and many righteous had died before the First Advent of Christ Jesus, although they prophesied of His Coming. All who had died prior to Christ Jesus’ First Appearance, including Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Elijah, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and all the prophets and righteous as well as the unrighteous were told that their prophesies concerning Christ Jesus’ First Coming had been fulfilled. “Preached” is the Greek word “kerusso {kay-roos'-so}, meaning to publish, proclaim openly: something which has been done, always with the suggestion of formality, gravity and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed. “ Christ Jesus said in John 5:24 & 25, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” I Peter 3:20 says, “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” That is, eight Adamic souls whom Christ Jesus would be born through. Noah and his family had the only perfect pedigree as taught in our Father God’s Word and the Adamic people are the birth-line of Christ Jesus. Genesis 6:9 says, “These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.”Perfect in his generations” means that Noah and his family had not been corrupted by mixing with the Nephilim, the fallen angels of Genesis – Chapter 6, as further explained in the epistle of Jude. Our Father God also told Noah to take two of every flesh into the ark with himself, his wife, sons and daughters-in-laws and as is taught in Genesis 6:19, “And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.” Our Father God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. Just as our Father God was patient and longsuffering in the days of Noah, He is as patient and longsuffering towards us today. Peter also teaches in II Peter 3:8 & 9, “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” It is our Father God’s loving will that all of His creation, created for His pleasure, comes unto the knowledge of the truth of His Holy Written Word. Therefore, understand the truth of this study which is that Father God would have all of us to understand where the flesh dead are. This should not be confused with satan’s lie of the rapture or flyaway of the church to escape his tribulation when he comes first in the place of or as instead of jesus. I Peter 3:22 says, “Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.” Many people do not seem to realize that even satan at this time is in the heavens. There is no hell underneath and Heaven above as we were taught as children, and many pulpit gurus so ignorant to continue this teaching even today. John teaches in the “Book of Revelation” unto the churches that satan will be cast to this earth from the heavenly realm when he comes disguised as the instead of jesus. Revelation 12: 7 – 9 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” “ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:12 says, “Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” The vile one, satan’s deception on the earth as he who comes first to the earth as instead of jesus is a short time of five months [Revelation – Chapter 9]. I Peter 4:5 says, “Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.” Christ Jesus said in John 5:20 – 23, “For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.” “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.” “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:” “That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” Christ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life, to the “Light of Everlasting Life” and no man comes unto the Father except through Christ Jesus. I Peter 4:6 says, “For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. Isaiah 53:5 & 6 says, “But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Everyone, the dead in the flesh and the living at Christ Jesus’ return will not face the judgment seat of our Father God until after Christ Jesus’ Millennial or one thousant year reign upon the earth. All sins that anyone has not repented of will be held against them and must be accounted for at Father God’s Great White Throne of Judgment [Revelation - Chapter 20]. Repent means to not only say you are sorry, it means to also change your ways so that you are pleasing to our Father God.

I Thessalonians 4:15 says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.” “Prevent] is “phthano {fthan'-o} in the Greek”, meaning “to come before, precede.” We, which are alive at the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will not come before or precede those asleep because they are already with our Lord. II Corinthians 5:1 says, “For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” “Eternal” is the Greek word “aionios {ahee-o'-nee-os}”, meaning “without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be, never to cease, everlasting.” Christ Jesus said in John 14:2 & 3, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.”

I Thessalonians 4:16 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” The dead in Christ Jesus are already risen and this can be witnessed in Paul’s teaching concerning the two bodies each of us are endowed with from our Father God. I Corinthians 15:52 says, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” “Raised” in the Greek is “egeiro {eg-i'-ro}”, meaning “to cause to appear, bring bfore the public.” Paul taught in II Corinthians 5:7, “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)?” When Christ Jesus entered satan’s domain and set the captives free, we are told through our Father God’s Word In Matthew 27:52 & 53, “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,” “And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” Faith in our Father God and in the resurrection of Christ Jesus brings us sight. We have our Father God’s Word to assure us that the dead in Christ Jesus are already in the presence of the Lord, and not in the grave. The grave holds only the flesh remains, however the soul and the breath of life or spiritual body returns unto Almighty God who gave it to one and all. “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.”

I Thessalonians 4:17 says, “Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” Remember Paul’s subject concerns those who have passed away (died) in the flesh; therefore, “caught up” means “to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away, to take from among the living, either by a natural death, or by violence, cause to cease, to take off or away what is attached to anything, to move from its place.” II Corinthians 5:1 says, “For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” “Clouds” is “nephos {nef'-os} in the Greek”, meaning “a large dense multitude, a throng.” A teaching of “cloud” is taught in Hebrews 12:1 which says, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”Air” in the Greek is “aer {ah-ayr'}” - from aemi (to breathe unconsciously, i.e. respire; by analogy, to blow). A teaching of “air” is taught in Genesis 2:7, which says, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” If you are Biblically illiterate it is quite easy to see why caught up causes you so much difficulty in understanding Paul’s teaching. The rapture or flyaway of the church is construed from one of the meanings of caught up, which is to take off or away. However, in John’s teaching of the events that consummate the end of this Flesh of Second Earth Age, Revelation 12:15 says, “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Therefore, if you do not follow Paul’s subject then you can be carried away by satan’s rapture or flyaway lie and be caught up in accepting his false role as the first christ that comes to the earth as the instead of jesus.

I Thessalonians 4:18 says, “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” “Comfort” means “to refresh or cheer, given not only with words, but also by the experience of a happier lot or by a happy issue.” “Comfort” is the Greek word “parakaleo {par-ak-al-eh'-o}”, and its outline of Biblical Usage is as follows:
1) to call to one's side, call for, summon
2) to address, speak to, (call to, call upon), which may be done in the way of exhortation, entreaty, comfort, instruction, etc.
a) to admonish, exhort
b) to beg, entreat, beseech, pray
1) to strive to appease by entreaty
c) to console, to encourage and strengthen by consolation, to comfort
1) to receive consolation, be comforted
d) to encourage, strengthen
e) exhorting and comforting and encouraging
f) to instruct, teach
Therefore, Paul is exhorting us by way of instruction to comfort one another with words. Paul did not “teach those words” of the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church. Paul has not mentioned any words pertaining to satan’s flood of lies that causes the ignorant to be carried away by the words “caught up” because they did not heed Paul’s subject of instruction, which is clearly taught in I Thessalonians 4:13 which says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Therefore, the words that Paul desires that we comfort one another with is found in understanding where the dead are, and in the fact that we will be reunited with them at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ which is at the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet of Father God. This is the refreshing and the cheer not only given by Paul’s exhortation of comfort, but also by the happy lot and happy issue of the Coming of the Lord at being reunited with our family, other loved ones and friends. Best of all to be in the presence of our Father God, restored and revived with the happy experience we once knew before the rebellion and subsequent overthrow of satan in the destruction of the Former or First Earth Age. “Caught Up”] simply means, “we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Rev 1:17 & 18 says, “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:” “I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” “Hallelujah, Praise Ye YAH!!!”

The “Rapture” Theory

I Thessalonians 4:16 - 17 for those with ears to hear and eyes to see who study Father’s Word seeking the increase which is wisdom, hand and hand with prudence, understand the meaning of “Caught up” which means “to seize, snatch out or away.” “Air” means “spiritual body [Greek "aero", or breath of life {spiritual} body]”. It is not speaking of the atmosphere, which is of the flesh. This is the same “breath of life or spiritual body” that Almighty God breathed into the nostrils of Adam as is taught in Genesis 2:7 which says, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Also, when Paul was speaking/teaching, he was using colloquial Greek [street Greek, or conversational Greek, figures of speech; known as slang today], and when he speaks of "clouds" it means “a large crowd.” Read Hebrews 12:1 which speaks of “so great a cloud of witnesses.”

I Thessalonians 4:16 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” “The dead in Christ shall rise first” because they are already with Him. To be absent from the body {flesh} is to be present with our Father God [Ecclesiastes 12:6 - 7].

I Thessalonians 4:17 says, “Then {after the 7th Trumpet sounds} we which are alive {in the flesh when Christ Jesus returns} [and] remain shall be caught up {snatched from out flesh bodies } together with them in the clouds {with the crowd, the remnant returning with Christ}, to meet the Lord in the air {breath of life bodies, since flesh and blood cannot be in the presence of our Lord}: and so shall we ever be with the Lord {His coming, the Day of our Lord and the first day of the Millennial Kingdom teaching ¬here on this earth}. Jesus Christ is returning to this earth {Second Advent/Day of our Lord}, therefore, Heaven will be on this earth we now live upon, our Father God Almighty returning with all of the Heavenly host after the Millennial Kingdom teaching. There is “no rapture.” You must go through both tribulations, satan's [Matthew 24:21 & Revelation – Chapter 9] and Father God’s {Day of our Lord, Revelation – Chapter 8}, how there is nothing to fear when you “study to shew yourself approved” because within that, our LORD will never leave or forsake His children who bless His precious Word.

Remember the three children of Israel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They were thrown into the fiery furnace and did not burn. You will not be harmed in the tribulation IF you believe in Christ Jesus and are not deceived. Father God is not angry at you; only His enemies, which includes those that do not study His Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, so that we all can stand against the deception of satan as the instead of jesus when he is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump, Seal and Vial [Revelation 12:7 – 9]. Study II Thessalonians 2:1 – 4; for the son of perdition, who is satan, the anti-christ, must be revealed BEFORE the return of Christ Jesus.

You will not find the “rapture, fly away, any moment or caught up false teachings” in the Holy Bible or with the Hebrew or Greek Manuscripts if you bother to study Father’s Word with a Strong’s Concordance. Rapture comes from “rapture of the deep”; VERY DANGEROUS, being hallucinations, and a false sense of security. BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS WHO WILL ROB YOU OF YOUR SALVATION. Beware of the false christ, satan, who will rob you of the joy and peace that only Jesus Christ can give. Paul teaches in I Thessalonians 5:3, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

II Thessalonians 2:1 says, “Now we beseech you {I want to talk to you very seriously}, brethren, by the {on behalf of} coming of our Lord Jesus Christ {this is the subject, Day of our Lord}, and [by] our gathering together unto Him,”

II Thessalonians 2:2 says, “That ye be not soon {to the end that you all be not quickly} shaken in mind {do not be deceived, do not get your mind confused with babble and confusion, which is of satan}, or be troubled {afraid}, neither by spirit {communication}, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand {the Lord is returning to this earth soon - the day of Christ is the day of Verse 1}.” The “Day of the Lord” is the day of Old Testament prophecy [Isaiah 2:12].

II Thessalonians 2:3 says, “Let no man {not anyone} deceive you by any means {they are trying to, Lit., according to no way. A double negative for emphasis}: for [that day {because that day} shall not come], except {or before the return of Christ Jesus} there come a {the} falling away first {apostasy}, and that man of sin {satan as the anti-christ, instead of jesus, coming to this world to deceive so-called christians} be revealed {exposed}, the son of perdition {who is satan, destruction, death [Isaiah 14:12 – 16];”

II Thessalonians 2:4 says, “Who opposeth and exalteth {opposes and exalts} himself {satan} above all that is called God, or that is worshipped {an object of worship in churches around the world as kenites sit in their pulpits}; so that he {the anti-christ [satan], pretending to be in place of God} as God sitteth in the temple {Jerusalem} of God, showing himself that he is God [Ezekiel – Chapter 28].” Have you never studied Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke Chapters 17 & 21, and the Books of Revelation and Daniel.

Let us not forget, “Father God hates” those who teach His children to “fly away or meet in the clouds” to save their souls [Ezekiel 13:17-23].

Ezekiel 13:17 says, “Likewise, thou {you} son of man, set thy {your} face against the daughters of thy {your} people, which prophecy out of their own heart {personal interpretations of Father’s Word}; and prophesy thou {the very elect} against them,” It was the woman Margaret McDonald who dreamed up the rapture or fly away doctrine, stating herself it felt exceedingly evil. Also, in Genesis – Chapter 6, the daughters of the man Adam were wholly seduced by the fallen angels and became impregnated with their evil seed, which was another attempt by satan to destroy the bloodline of Christ Jesus. This Verse is particularly important in this latter generation because Paul teaches in I Corinthians 11:10, “For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.” Power within the head [your head] where our brains are stored so that we are equipped with the knowledge that as it was in the days of Noah and Lot regarding these fallen angels, it will be again in these latter days, giving and taking in marriage to satan’s fallen entourage.

Ezekiel 13:18 says, “And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all armholes {sew together coverings upon all the joints of My hands, hide from the people the hands of “YAHOVAH” lifted up and stretched forth in judgment [Isaiah 26:11; 52:10]}, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature {make mantles to cover the heads and eyes of those on whom the judgment of Father God's hands {wrath} shall fall, lest they should see} to hunt souls {to ensnare in a web of lies, fly away, rapture, caught up, any moment}! Will ye {pulpit gurus and Bible toddlers} hunt the souls of my {Father God’s} people, and will ye {you} save the souls alive [that come] unto you {your false teacher is unable to save his own soul or yours}?” This is a statement of fact. This anger Father God is directing toward all the pulpit gurus {men and women} who say things devised from their own minds and pen. Just as Father God told Ezekiel to speak out against them, so is that directive to the very elect of this generation we now live in. Those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia are to speak out against the Biblically illiterate, mainly those in pulpits with their theatrics, lies and foolishness. Father’s election are not attacking what they speak, rather, to “prophecy thou against them.” Also, Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together in Eden after Eve had been impregnated by satan with Cain, who subsequently would kill his half brother Abel. This was satan’s first attempt to soil the pure pedigree of Jesus’ birth line.

Ezekiel 13:19 says, “And will ye {you} pollute me {Father God} among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread {money, gifts, ill-gotten gain}, to slay the souls that should not die {to prophecy falsely that they should be slain}, and to save the souls alive that should not live {to promise life to those who should not live}, by your lying to my {Father God} people that hear [your] lies {personal interpretation of the Bible and Biblically illiterate teachings}?” We all must study Father God’s love letter to us, His Holy Logos from beginning to ending, being the Book of Genesis through to the Book of Revelation, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse to understand the glory of the LORD God Almighty.

Ezekiel 13:20 “Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD {Father God speaking directly}; Behold, I [am] against your pillows {discern, understand Verse 18}, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly {escape into the deception of satan as the anti-christ, through the rapture, caught up, any moment or fly away traditions of men}, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.” This is what Father God feels about anyone who teaches His children the lies of rapture, fly away, any moment or caught up doctrines. To say otherwise is to argue with Almighty God. Father said to “wake up” from these lies since those “you hunt” with lies are causing His children to follow the deception of satan as the anti-christ and His Word to become void. Know the difference between “first and second.” Christ Jesus taught in Matthew 24:40 – 41, “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” “Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” “But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” You must watch for the first to come, who is satan, since the Sixth Trump comes before the Seventh Trump {Day of our Lord}, and you have to watch for satan coming in his deception {first} because you know the hour of Christ Jesus {second} since He returns “after” satan is upon the earth. Meditate for understanding and rightly divide the Word of Father God.

Ezekiel 13:21 “Your kerchiefs {wraps that cleave close round the head; the object being to cover the head so that Almighty God's hand may not be seen} also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.” Father God keeps, in His infinite mercy, telling and reminding His children who He is because wrapped in Biblical illiteracy, if you believe in the rapture, fly away, any moment or caught up doctrines, you are confusing “YAHOVAH” with the son of perdition, death, who is satan.

Ezekiel 13:22 “Because with lies ye {lying, Biblically illiterate teaches who called themselves to pulpits around the world} have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked {the lawless one, satan, the anti-christ}, that he should not return from his wicked {wrong} way, by promising him life {continuance of life, escaping from the judgments announced by YAHOVAH, because the Biblically illiterate believe they are taking flight, therefore have no need to pay attention to the teachings of Yeshua and know the signs of the times we now live in}:” The vile one, satan, is the son of perdition and is the only son currently sentenced to death because of his continual wicked acts against our “Father YAHOVAH.” His final wicked act will be his role as the instead of jesus, anti-christ [II Thessalonians - Chapter 2] where he promises to rapture [fly away, any moment, caught up] people from the very earth where Father God’s Kingdom will be for all Eternity.

Ezekiel 13:23 says, “Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.” Those filling pulpits around the world calling themselves bishops, brothers, sisters, preachers, teachers, reverends, evangelists, priest, whatever title these Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus decide to place before themselves, will have a seat and be taught during the Millennial Kingdom teaching as Father God removes them from calling themselves a part of His assembly. Father God is telling His very elect to teach against those that lie to His children telling them they shall escape His judgments through their fly away, caught up, rapture and any moment doctrines to save their souls. The “diviners of these demonic traditions and teachings of men’s mind” are taking Father’s children and giving them a crutch to join them in their hop-along charade of christianity. Father’s Word is clear and precise if you chose to listen to what “thus saith our LORD.”

Our Deliverer is Christ Jesus, our “King of kings and Lord of lords” who has already led captivity captive and from the destructive devices of that wicked fallen son, satan. “LORD, I AM THAT I AM, YAHOVAH”, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the “Almighty.”

“Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.”

I NEVER KNEW YOU

Paul teaches, “for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed [Romans 13:11].” We are living in the end times and it is nearer than most believe. It is important for the entire world to know the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ [satan]. People who claim to be “born again” are always asking others who they meet and greet in the street, “are you saved, do you know the LORD?” It is my contention that we as individuals need to spend more of our time, not asking others, but truly asking ourselves if we know the LORD. It is a love thing, which means saying, “I love our LORD”, is also saying, “I love His Word.” David teaches, “For You have magnified Your word above Your name [Psalms 138:2]”, because God is His Word, “Jesus, Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us.” John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Therefore, to love Father God is to love His Word, equally, meaning every day I love our LORD and His Word, therefore, studying His Word daily, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Then, truly I show those I meet and greet in the street that, “yes, I love our LORD because I know Him.” Christ Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Verse 15 says, “Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” Verse 16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” “Father God, Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path [Psalms 119:105].” We need to be able to tell someone the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ. This is only possible if we know the difference ourselves. Can you imagine sitting on a church pew all your life believing that you knew our LORD, only to have Christ Jesus at His Second Coming say, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity [Matthew 7:23].” Christ Jesus has already told us why He would say, “I never knew you”, but let us understand what “ye that work iniquity” truly means. Matthew 7:21 says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Our Lord taught a parable on this wise in Matthew 21:28 which says, “But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.” Verse 29 says, “He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.” Verse 30 says “”And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.” Verse 31 says, “Whether of them twain did the will of [his] father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” Christ Jesus makes it clear in this teaching that the ones in the street will eventually do His will, however the church attendees will not. Realizing the truth is what our Father God wills, meaning one needs to know the difference between Jesus Christ’s Second Advent and satan’s event as the instead of jesus christ. Most attending church buildings believe that they are pleasing to our Father God for such service, however Jesus’ parable reveals a different truth. It is imperative to know the time of Jesus’ Second Visitation to this earth, and the event which comes before that time.

Matthew 7:22 says, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Christ Jesus foretold us of the many that would come in His name, as pastors, reverends, preachers, teachers, evangelists, ministers, pulpit gurus in every shape and form and this is one of the signs that precede His Second Advent. Matthew 24:3 says, “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Verse 4 says, “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Verse 5 says, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Many will say I am an ambassador for Christ, and tell you their church is a Bible based church, however cannot reveal unto us the seven events that consummate the end of this Flesh of Second Earth Age; the Seventh {Trump, Seal, Vial} being Jesus’ Second Advent, or the Day of the Lord.

Matthew 7:23 says, “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. “Never”, meaning, “ever; at no time in the past or future; at all; certainly not in any circumstances.” I would equate this Verse to a boxing match and ye that work iniquity are knocked out in the first few seconds of the first round. It is important to remember that Christ Jesus is making this statement to those who will say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works.” “I never knew you”, not in any circumstances, at no time in the past or future. “Iniquity” is the condition of being ignorant of the seven events that consummate the end of this Flesh Age, and unaware of the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ, satan in disguise of Jesus’ Second Advent. Verse 24 says, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:” Christ Jesus taught us the seven events that bring about the end of this Age ushering in His Second Advent, the Day of the Lord, or the Millennial Reign, which is Jesus’ one thousand year reign upon the earth. A wise man, which built his house upon a rock, knows our Rock is Jesus Christ, and a wise man knows that the false rock, satan, is not our “Lord of lord and King of kings.” A wise man knows that satan is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump to disguise himself as the false jesus, however Jesus Christ will not return to this earth until the Seventh Trump. Verse 25 says, “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” The flood of the end times is not an overflowing of water, but the lies of satan that deluge the ignorant. The ignorant being those who say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Being founded upon our Rock, Jesus Christ is a foundation built upon the truth, having the knowledge of the seven events that bring the Flesh Age to a close. This is the shelter from satan’s flood of lies that he is jesus christ returning to rapture [fly away] those who claimed to prophesy, cast out devils, and have done many wonderful works in Jesus’ name.

Matthew 7:26 says, “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:” Jesus forewarns us that satan will be cast to the earth in disguise as the false christ. Matthew 24:23 says, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. Verse 24 says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Verse 25 says, “Behold, I have told you before.” Remember the ten virgins, five were wise and five were foolish. The five wise virgins built their house upon our Rock, our True Christ, and not the flood of lies of the false christ, satan. The five foolish virgins wed the first christ to come to the earth, satan as the instead of jesus. They did not heed Jesus’ teaching, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.”

Matthew 7:27 says, “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” I Corinthians 3:11 says, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Christ Jesus also warned us of the flood for the end times, which is satan’s deception of lies that he is jesus returning to the earth to rapture the ignorant, which are the foolish. Revelation 12:7 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” Verse 8 says, “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” Verse 9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Verse 15 says, “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Verse 16 says, “And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.” Verse 17 “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” The testimony of Jesus Christ is for the wise who heed the truth that Jesus forewarned us about, which is satan being cast to this earth in disguise as the false christ. The flood that the serpent, satan, cast out of his mouth is that he is jesus, and his flyaway [rapture] lie.

Matthew 7:28 says, “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:” The people “astonished at his doctrine” will not include those to whom Christ Jesus will say, “I never knew you.” It will be the ones who prophesied, cast out devils, and many other works in the instead of jesus’ name because they did not realize the time of Jesus’ True Visitation, His Second Advent, which will happen after satan’s event as the false christ.

Matthew 7:29 says, “For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.” The scribes annulled the commandments of Almighty God for the sake of their own traditions. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 15:8, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.” Verse 9 says, “But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.” “Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” will cause one to bow a knee to satan in his disguise as the false christ. This is the iniquity that Christ Jesus said would cause Him to say to those guilty of the offence, “I never knew you.” This means, at no time in the past or future; at all; certainly not in any circumstances, not in the circumstances of prophesying, healing, or any other works. Luke 12:56 says, “[Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? “Ask, Seek, Knock – Amen Amen!”
