I want to share something with you that is most important, and only now, 22 years later, do I understand.
Throughout my father’s life, I can most gladly say that I had a wonderful relationship with him—from the beginning to the very end at his life at 80, when I watched him breath his last breath. And shortly before that, he had broken his leg at the facility where he was living, and at the hospital they were going to perform surgery and reset his leg. I alone was with him during that time, and we were occupying a two-bed unit. A white curtain had been pulled, separating the two bed areas, and I walked over to look out of the spacious window. We were probably on the third floor.
Shortly, from my father’s portion, a male voice clearly spoke: “Gary, you have a beautiful face. Gary, you have a beautiful face.” Obviously, I assumed it was my father, for there was no one else in the room. But actually, he did not even know me anymore, and could not even talk! That awareness and capability had long passed away. So then, who else could have verbally and intimately declared those clear and succent personal words? This is important.
Gratefully, recently the Father clearly showed me that it was in fact Him speaking audibly to me, which He does to many throughout the Scriptures. Indeed, I know what I heard. “Gary, you have a beautiful face,” and then He repeated it. And this was wonderful to finally understand, being quite intimate, and obviously was a most important revelation, as you will see. And most significantly, He spoke it from behind the curtain, even from behind the veil!
Frankly, there is indeed no other possible answer as to what took place in that moment. And only now, out of the blue, He showed me that it was indeed Him who spoke! And that revelation was with strength and clarity and wonder! Honestly, it is hard to put mere words to all of this, for it was God behind the veil who declared it, giving hope, which we very much need!
And as well, this is not without example, as we read concerning Moses: “Thus Yahweh used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend”, Exodus 33:11 (wow—it’s a delightful thought to be His friend). I can now truly say that I heard the voice of the Father: “Gary, you have a beautiful face. Gary, you have a beautiful face.” And He spoke it in the presence of my soon-to-pass father, whom I dearly loved, making this all the more significant. Thank You Father!
We are getting ready to
enter into a most, most unusual period of the church. Of course, the
church was begun by none other than the son of God, Yahshua. His presence
was for three and a half years, and governmentally established a twelve-man
structure, in other words, the twelve apostles. Unfortunately, when He
left, they made the blind presumptuous mistake of casting lots to replace
Judas. Here is a question: Did Yahshua cast lots for the disciples?
No indeed! The fact is, that office would lack a man, and would not be
replaced until just before Yahshua’s return so as to prepare His way. And
keep in mind, there are in fact twenty-four elders around the throne, and
of these, the latter twelve are added at His return.
Let us now examine the
critical placement of the structural order of the kingdom of God, the church,
and these are found in Zechariah 4—the most important source
of Scriptures in the Bible for knowing and understanding what God is doing in
setting forth His kingdom. And what is the symbolism that He set
forth/followed? It is:
Olive
Tree – Lampstand – Olive Tree
But the vital question
arises: What do they represent? Looking back, we now know the
answer. It is the three parts of the kingdom of God, the church.
And following this set pattern, those three critical parts can be identified:
First
Remnant – Christianity – Second Remnant
And let me digress on
this, for it is MOST important to know, and to recognize exactly what it
is! What is this the pattern of? It is the vital pattern of the
church over 2,000 years, that being the male body of Christ passing
between the split parts of the female bride. And there is no question
that the matter at hand is indeed fruitfulness! Even bringing forth the
kingdom of God. And we must ask: Has
Christianity succeeded? And the answer is, only in part.
Christianity was not a good replacement for Yahshua, other than in His
affliction. And do remember, Christianity is masculine! Thus, they
can never bring forth Yahshua back to this earth. Never! And,
even Mary’s ability for fruitfulness was a miracle. And that we now need
once again!
Now, there is some overlap
between each of these three parts. The first Remnant was of course the
apostles, and all of those who believed, which numbered over 5,000. But,
because of persecution, within a year and a half, they had all departed,
leaving only the apostles in Jerusalem. Thus, and significantly, that
first work was now gone!
And next in order came the
effectual work of the apostle Paul, etc., as Christianity spread
throughout the world! And what is the testimony concerning
Christianity? It’s clear and simple. The founder thereof, at its
very foundation, was blind for nothing less than THREE days! And the
church is supposed to get 3,000 years. Needless to say, IT CANNOT
CONTINUE! God must cut time short, lest NO man be saved!
And as you can see, there
MUST be yet another Olive Tree work that comes out of corrupted and defiled
Christianity! And it must be distinctly
different, just as the first Remnant was. The original Protestants sought
to be such. But they were “before the time,” too early, as they
rightly protested the church. And there have been many, many like others,
all the way to this very day, who have tried to improve it. BUT, clearly,
the entire 2,000 years of Christianity have been nothing less than the 2,000
swine that ALL went down into the sea of death (Mark 5:1-13 and Luke
8:26-33)! Entirely confirming this, Satan had to ask permission to even
take them to death. If they were just pigs, Satan would not have had
to ask permission to take them to their deaths! Folks, wake up!
It’s Christianity!
And might we add a second
witness regarding pigs, as it relates to Christianity? Do you recall the
prodigal son who received his inheritance early, before the time (Luke
15:11-32)? And with loose living he squandered it; and there was a severe
famine and he became impoverished and ate with the pigs in the field. And
frankly, based on this parable, that is what Christians eat. And once he
came to his senses, necessarily he went to his father, even as we will go
to the Father, and His table will be plenteous! Brothers and sisters,
swine Christianity does not have the answers.
And if this isn’t already
enough evidence, the third witness regarding swine Christianity is this.
It was Antiochus IV who carried out the
desecration of the temple in Jerusalem.
He marched into the temple, and sacrificed none other than a pig!
And equally remarkable, this desecration
continued for 3 years! And amazingly, 1
Maccabees, chapters 1 and 4, implies that the temple desecration was for 3
years, while 2 Maccabees 10 suggests the time was only 2 years.
And most, most certainly, this swine Christianity
defilement of the Temple must be cut short from 3,000 years to 2,000
years! Amen and amen!
How much more evidence do we need?
How does this tie to Christianity?
Where did Saul/Paul begin Christianity?
In nothing less than at Antioch, named after
this same Antiochus. And Antioch became
the base for Paul's ministry, and numerous early church councils were centered
there. Amazing, amazing evidence!
Now you ask, “Why could
Christians be equated with swine?” It’s very simple, and very
important. There are two qualifications for being clean: they had
to chew the cud, and split the hoof. Pigs split the hoof, but they do not
chew the cud. Thus, they are unclean. What is chewing the
cud? It is taking the food into the mouth, chew on it, swallow it, and
then bring it back up to its head. There they chew on it some more, and
then swallow it again. But still they are not satisfied, so once again it
is brought back up to the head, and this practice is repeated over and over and
over again, until it is fully sufficient.
Now, as you can see,
what does this tell us concerning God’s governmental order in declaring that
ruminants are clean, beginning with the two-part Remnant? Make no
mistake, it will be prophetic and governmental regarding the church! The
answer is clear. In this scenario, what is the process that the food
takes in order for digestion? First, it goes into the mouth where it is
chewed. Then, it is swallowed and descends into the belly. But that
is not the end, for it then repeats this, and proceeds back into the
mouth. Do you see what is going on here, thereby qualifying this animal
to be clean before God? The food is ascending and descending, ascending
and descending, qualifying it to be clean. And most importantly, this was
a type whereby when we enter into our born-from-above bodies, we will ascend
into the heavens, and descend back to earth, ascend and descend, ascend and
descend. Thus, we ourselves, the two Remnants, the former, and more
specifically the latter, will fulfill chewing the cud! Amen!
It is amazing how Yahweh made all of these governmental testimonies that
prophesy! Just think what is instore when we enter into our
born-from-above bodies! Wow!! What a joy and wonder that will
be! Ascending and descending, ascending and descending, ascending and
descending! Fully knowing the will of God!
Mary will once again say
to Yahshua, “They have no more wine.” And yes, it will not be His hour to
come, as He said once before, this time being a thousand years too early.
But Mary will say to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.” And, He will
tell them, “Fill the jars with water”; and they will fill them to the brim, and
it will be turned into wine! And the master of the banquet will proclaim,
“Everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the cheaper wine after the
guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till
now” (John 2:1-9). Amen, and indeed a glorious amen! So, so
much having been awaited for! And so be it
Father, and come soon our Master! Very soon!
Even though Christianity
should receive the next thousand years, there is no way it can be given to
them. ABSOLUTELY NO WAY! Instead, it MUST be given to the Bride. The pattern is set: Olive tree, Lampstand, and
now the essential culminating second Olive Tree! And, examining further
this clear evidence regarding the pigs, keep in mind, the weary son longed to
eat with them, but that was not an option. Finally, he “came to his
senses” and returned home! Are you tired of eating with the pigs, who
split the hoof, but do not chew the cud? And what again is chewing the
cud? For the clean, it is ascending into heaven, then descending back to
the earth, ascending into heaven, and again descending, ascending and
descending. That, is what we all, at some point, must arrive to!
But first, we MUST be born from above! And put yourself in this next
verse. “But while he was still a long way off, (and boy it has
indeed been a long, long way), his father saw him and was filled with
compassion for him (AMEN AND AMEN!), he ran to his son, threw his arms
around him and kissed him.” That is the event that awaits before us!
And that we so desperately, desperately need to be fulfilled!
Desperately! Again, if those days are not cut short, NO FLESH will be
saved! May the Father move soon. Amen!
“Unless those days (of
breach Christianity) had been cut short (from 3,000 years to 2,000 years), NO
flesh would have been saved. BUT
through the elect (the Bride), they will be cut short.” - Matthew 24:22 and
Mark 13:20
Amen and amen! And clearly, here
again in Zechariah 13:7-9 is what the Father performs over
a 3,000 year period!
Awake, O sword, against my
Shepherd (Yahshua),
against the one who is my associate.
Strike the Shepherd that the sheep (the first Remnant)
may be scattered (they were literally all scattered);
I will turn my hand
against the little ones (Christians).
In all the land,
two thirds of them (the 2,000 swine) will be cut off and perish,
and one third will be left.
I will bring the one third
through the fire (the Millennial Reign);
I will refine them as one refines silver,
and I will test them as one tests gold.
They will call upon My name, and I will answer them;
I will say, “They are my people,”
and they will say, “Yahweh is my God.”
In this latter culminating
thousand-year period that we are now in, the Bride is
called out to rule and reign with Immanuel. And clearly, this two-part
Bride will now be in their born-from-above bodies that Yahshua is in—the first
from all mankind. Amen! And keep
in mind, the first of all mankind going all the way back to the Garden, will be
last, and the last will be first (Matthew 19:30 and 20:16).
I part
from here with a most, most puzzling set of nagging questions. Why, why
must there be male and female for fruitfulness? It’s not that I dislike
it, but why the two sexes? Why was that necessary? And why, why
must there be good and evil? And why do we have the choice as to what we
will do and follow? And why did the Creator place Satan, the twisted
serpent, on this earth? And why is the twisted serpent the sperm of the
man? And if we want offspring/fruitfulness, there is no other route we
can go! We must take the serpent. In fact, our world is even
dominated by the serpent. He is the god of this world where we
live! And he even tempted the Son of God, but failed! And in this
tree of the knowledge of good and evil, when do we escape the evil? And,
add to these questions, even our own frail bodies. It will be great to
get out of them, REALLY great, and into the heavenly, and to be born from
above! Amen! And how long will this transition take for the whole
of mankind? Wow!
