THE SUMMIT OF MY PRESENT UNDERSTANDING (REVELATIONS)

Commentary: the following is the second part of the revelations of my 32 years of pastoral Bible study, 31 years as the executive director of this Rescue Mission, and the delivery of over 1,600 sermons:

God made His Angels (thoughts, messages) Spirits (Psa 104:4; Heb 1:7). Then God created evil (Isa 45:7). Who was the first sinner? Answer: Lucifer, an Angel-Spirit-Thought, who, after his offense, sin, evil depravity of altering (changing) God’s Thought (Deut 4:2; Rev 22:18,19), was thereafter renamed Lucifer-Satan indicating a change of character, and sent to effectively be a harsh educational tool, a message/er to the earth along with the third part of the stars in Heaven who followed in his footsteps (“his tail” Rev 12:4). You and I are part of those sent corrupted fallen angel-spirit-thoughts, estranged, alienated, a separated part of God’s Holy Spirit, each a criminal angel temporarily confined (imprisoned) in the flesh of a human body. We all are fallen angels, defiled spirits-thoughts-messages, mingled fruit hanging (“he that is hanged is accursed of God” (Deut 21:23) onto the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, independent of and separated from God’s Holy Thoughts, originally generated as fruit of the Tree of Life/Spirit of God, but now members of the (lower case) spirit of God, i.e., alienated, Goliath (Heb: exiled) type members, without Holiness and the supernatural power thereof. However, a willing few of us are being purged purified and restored, reinstated, repaired (healed) back into Heaven and Full Fellowship (Holiness) with Father God. “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” (Dan 12:3) 

 

The following is an excerpt from an excellent article authored by Pastor Larry Spargimino that appeared in the April 2021 issue of the Prophetic Observer newsletter published by Southwest Radio Ministries (with my black print and underlining):

We are living in a day of intense spiritual conflict fueled by a revolution against all that is good and holy. No one can deny that. The stakes are high. The enemy is dangerous, but… God is still on the throne and prayer changes things. We see ominous signs all around us. There is rebellion against God’s created order. Those who identify with Christianity and conservative issues are demonized. What will a God-hating government impose on the people of God? Their rage seems to know no limits or restraints. It is fiendish and devilish. This is the time to call upon God, that He may rip open the heavens and make His presence felt in a most dramatic way. “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down… to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!” (Isa 64:1,2)

Perhaps not wanting to entirely discomfort the conventional (traditional) perceptions of many of his readers, Pastor Larry has omitted from the quoted two verses (Isa 64:1,2) a truly enormously important end-time prophetic reality that is a clear declaration by God quietly residing in the emptiness between “come down… to make thy name known” and which is fully expressed thusly: “come down, that the mountains [of pride] might flow down at thy prescence, As when the melting fire burneth [“For our God is a consuming fire.” Heb 12:29], the fire causeth the waters [of the Holy Spirit] to boil [Heb: to gush over: swell out] [ref. Rom 8:18,19], to make thy name known.” This Bible text omission, commencing with “that” and concluding with “boil” is a prophetic perhaps not so metaphorical description of the effects of the literal presence of our God in Christ Jesus who is indeed “a consuming fire” (Deut 4:24; 9:3; Heb 12:29), and Who will then be physically manifested, according to our best present  perception, as a worldwide encompassing mass multitude of exploding fiery consuming nuclear bombs. [1]

1.    (Zech 14:12) And this shall be the plague [Heb: slaughter] wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away [Heb: melt: dissolve] while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away [Heb: melt: dissolve] in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away [Heb: melt: dissolve] in their mouth. [May we suggest that Zechariah 14 is both an interesting and profound read]

 

 

 

BUT WHERE WILL THIS “NUCLEAR” CONSUMING FIRE ACTIVITY COME FROM??

ANSWER: THE GLORY SHALL BE “REVEALED IN US

(Rom 8:18,19) For I reckon that the sufferings [Gk: hardships or pains; influences: afflictions] [tribulations] of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed [Gk: to take off the cover (of our flesh), disclosed] in us. For the earnest expectation [Gk: intense anticipation] of the creature [man and animals (Genesis 6th day formations)] waiteth for the manifestation [Gk: disclosure: appearance, coming, revelation] of the [matured] sons of God.

 

IN HIS SAINTS; IN ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE; GLORIFIED IN YOU”

(2 Thes 1:6-12) Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense [return] tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven [1,2] with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1.    (Matt 19:23,24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

2.    (Luke 17:20,21) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation [Gk: ocular evidence]: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God [the kingdom of Heaven (Matt 19:23,24)] is within [Gk: inside] you.

 

A PHYSICAL PORTRAIT OF FROM WHERE THE “CONSUMING FIRE” WILL COME

(Judg 7:7,8) And the LORD said unto Gideon [Heb: feller (warrior) /// to fell a tree] [a type and shadow of Jesus Christ], By the three hundred men [shepherds, combat warriors] that lapped [Heb: licked] [the water of the Holy Spirit with their tongue (speech)] will I save you, and deliver the Midianites [Heb: brawling, contentious, discord, strife] [i.e., unsaved peoples] into thine hand [Heb: power]: and let all the other people [the 9,700 saved warriors (support troops, sheep)] go every man unto his place [in the Army of God]. So the [300] people took victuals [Heb: food] [sacrificially given by the support troops, sheep] in their hand, and their trumpets [symbol of the Word of God, voice]: and he sent all the rest of Israel [the 9,700] every man unto his tent, and retained [Heb: seized: caught up] [“caught up” 1 Thes 4:17] [i.e., raptured], those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

 

(Judg 7:18-22) When I [Gideon/Jesus Christ] blow with a trumpet [the Word of God], I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch [about 10:00 pm]; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets [the Word of God], and brake [Heb: dash in pieces] [“as the vessels of a potter shall they be be broken to shivers” Rev 2:27] the [earthenware] pitchers [symbolizing their own bodies, dedication] that were in their hands. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake [Heb: burst] the pitchers [to shivers], and held the lamps [Heb: flaming torches] [symbolizing the Holy Spirit/God a consuming fire] in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried [preached], The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.

 

Amen
