The brightness of our
revelations depend upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building
blocks
(God is Thought, God is Love, God is a Spirit
– Eccl 12:7, and so are
you)
(Isa 40:3) The
voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the
way of the
LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
THE SECOND COMING OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST
(Mal 4:1-6) For, behold [see,
understand], the day cometh,
that shall burn
as an oven [global nuclear war (a
consuming fire) Zech 14:12-15 & Deut 4:24; 9:3; Heb 12:29]; and all the proud, yea, and all
that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh
shall burn
them up [but not us for we will
have been previously, perhaps simultaneously, raptured out], saith
the LORD of hosts [Heb: armies], that
it shall leave them neither root nor
branch. But unto you that fear
[Heb: to fear; morally to revere ///
reverence] my name shall the
Sun [Son] of righteousness
arise [Heb:
irradiate (to shoot forth beams), rise (as the sun); appear: rise up] [i.e.,
from within us] [1] with healing
in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as
calves [young bulls] of the stall [implication of
domestication (there isn’t anything wild in Heaven)].
And ye shall tread down the wicked [Joel
2:1-11]; for they
shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Remember
ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb
[Mount Sinai] for all
1.
(Rom
8:18,19) For
I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy
to be compared with the glory
which shall be revealed [Gk: to
take off the cover: disclosed] in us. For
the earnest expectation [Gk: intense anticipation] of
the creature [all living creation] waiteth
for the manifestation [Gk:
appearance] of the sons [Gk: huios; matured sons] of
God. [2 Thes 1:10,12]
2.
Commentary:
Elijah the
prophet was taken up into heaven alive in “a
chariot of fire” (2 Kings 2:11), which is a clear type and shadow
of “the
rapture.”
3.
(Mat
17:10-13) And
his disciples asked him [asked Jesus for spiritual understanding],
saying, Why then say the scribes that
Elijah must first come? And Jesus
answered and said unto
them, Elijah truly shall first come,
and restore all things [“AND
RESTORE ALL THINGS”]. But I say unto you, That
Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have
done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise
shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then
the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
the Baptist.
a.
Commentary:
“and restore all things” = You
are a spirit (a conglomerate of thinking thoughts) dwelling
inside a
physical body. An important question:
What was the first thing that was “broken”
and thus destined to be restored in God’s original creation of the universe? Answer: The
fellowship
between God who is a Spirit and the angels (spirits) that rebelled
against God
and became “broken off” fallen angels.
Those fallen angels (spirits) were and are imprisoned
in earthly spiritually defiling physical bodies. The encompassing
defilement of
their physical bodies enormously limits and otherwise negates the
supernatural
powers of fallen angels - temporarily. However, Father God has provided a way (path) for the fallen
angels (spirits) to be restored
back into His Grace if
they will repent (Gk: think differently, reconsider) of their
evil
ways, submit themselves to Jesus Christ
as their Lord (Gk: supreme in authority) and Savior,
and follow Him (the great Shepherd) back into Heaven. Presently,
some fallen angels will repent, most will not.
JOHN THE BAPTIST HAS THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH
(Mat
11:7-15) And as they departed,
Jesus began to say unto the multitudes
concerning John [the Baptist],
What went ye out into the wilderness to
see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A
man
clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing
are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see? A
prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For
this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I
send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee [Isaiah 40:3]. Verily I say unto
you, Among them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he
that
is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And
from the
days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence,
and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law
prophesied
until John. And if ye will receive it,
this [John the Baptist] is
Elijah, which was for to come. He
that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
WE ARE THE ELIJAH-JOHN THE BAPTIST COMPANY
(Mat 3:1-12) In those
days came John the Baptist [Gk: a
baptizer] [1], preaching in the
wilderness of

baptize

whelmed (fully wet)

baptize
= Dict: to immerse 1. to dip (a person) into
water, or pour or sprinkle water over him, as a symbol of admission
into
Christianity. 2. to subject to an initiation or an ordeal that purifies
or
cleanses.
3.
(John
20:19-23) Then the same day at evening,
being the first
day of the week, when the doors
were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and
saith unto them, Peace be unto
you. And when he [Jesus] had so said, he
shewed unto them
his hands and his side. Then
were the disciples glad, when they
saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you:
as my Father hath sent
me [Gk: sent out on a mission] me,
even so send I you. And when he had said this, he
breathed
on them, and saith
unto them, Receive ye
the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit [Gk:
forgive, send away],
they are remitted [forgiven] unto
them; and whose soever sins
ye retain [Gk: keep], they are
retained [kept].
Amen
