Preface
The knowledge of good kills just as effectively as the knowledge of evil. God forbade both to the human race. Why? The reason is that God designed us to live by revelation alone. Therefore
every moment of every day, whenever we don’t know something or have a question, we simply ask God and He gives us wisdom from above.
Trying to understand the things of God without His Spirit is like trying to move a pile of sand, one grain at a time, with tweezers. It’s theoretically possible, but that method is wholly inadequate to the task.
Likewise, our natural minds, without the illumination of the Holy Spirit, cannot know the things of His Spirit. He is simply too vast to know except through the direct downloading of YHWH’s Rhema into our minds.
Jesus says,
“ Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 1 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?”
John 3:9-12
In this essay, I am going to share what I am presently seeing and hearing from my Father. If you like, you can search the scriptures to see if these things be true. However, even a doctor of the law, like Nicodemus, can be told the truth and still not understand if they will not believe. Knowing these things has nothing to do with me being anyone special, but everything to do with simply receiving His revelation. God’s Rhema (living word) is for everyone and is how He meant for all of us to live forever from the very beginning.
Having said that…
In northern Eden, there was a mountain. On the sides of this high place lay a city. In this city dwelt YHWH (God), Seraphim, Cherubim and an innumerable company of Angels. This is the mount of the congregation.
This original city of peace was built four square with twelve Gates. It’s streets were of such fine gold they were transparent. Within this golden city there was a temple where God dwelt. This temple had three holy places: the outer court, inner court, and the Holy of Holies. God dwelt in the inner chamber, seated on His throne above the Cherubim.
Before this city lay a great lake, like a sea of glass, and out of that lake flowed the river of life. This was a perfect world, created in harmony, peace and willing submission. Everyone and everything flowed together as one in the presence of Almighty God. In this paradise, God planted a Garden eastward in Eden. Forming man from the dust of the earth, God breathed His life into Adam, making him a living soul.
This Is Your Land – City Of Gold
Each of us has a personal destiny in God
Man, created a little lower than the angels, is destined to ascend the mountain of God. Caught up by His Spirit, we will go up into the great city of our King to join our brethren in the mount of the congregation. There, in the New Jerusalem, we will take our place at YHWH’s side as His queen.
Originally, everyone who would ever be born was written in the book of life. Only through sin were some erased. Now, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we can be re-written into that little book and be born again into the New Creation of God. This is what Salvation means.
Sin is not an original creation of this world. Sin entered this realm, carried by a fallen Seraph named Lucifer. The Chief Musician, in her rebellion, and as a last ditch effort to prevent God’s judgement upon her, tempted Eve to taste of the forbidden fruit. Adam, realizing what Eve had done, ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil also, hoping that His Father would spare them both.
The consequences of sin
Upon learning of His children’s sin, YHWH did not kill them as Lucifer hoped, but performed the first blood sacrifice on their behalf. A lamb gave it’s life for their transgression, and the Creator of heaven and earth clothed their shame. However, God cursed the ground for Adam’s sake, multiplied Eve’s pain in child birth, and cursed the serpent who caused all this in the first place. YHWH told the serpent that one day the woman’s seed would be her doom. Moreover, immortality was no longer their birthright, for in the day that they ate thereof (1000 years), both Adam and his wife perished.
Since that day, there has been a titanic struggle for domination between God and His angels and Lucifer (now called the Devil) and her demons. The fallen wife of the most high feels that if she can prove that mankind cannot live sinless, perfect lives, then God cannot judge her either. Thus fallen lucifer tempts and accuses all mankind daily before God, trying to prove her case for being pardoned.
Jesus paid the price for our sin
However, when Jesus gave up the ghost on calvary, all was settled and that great dragon’s fate was sealed forever. Jesus took upon himself the sins of the whole world and died upon a tree in our place. Christ did what no one else could do, proving that mankind was worthy to ascend to the mount of the Most High as His queen forever.
Now, Lucifer knows she has but a short time. Yet, though even the demons realize they are bound for judgment, still they aid and abet the chief musician in a bid to dominate the earth. Once before the flood, and 6 times after the flood, the Devil sought to dominate and rule the kingdoms of this world through force. Now, we stand on the precipice of the last world government of the Antichrist. Through this man of sin, Lucifer seeks to sit in the temple of the mount, in the holy of holies, and declare herself to be God.
The Millennium
God isn’t through with this earth or its people yet. Even after the Battle of Armageddon, there is at least 1000 years where God rebuilds the Israelite kingdom. The Jewish people return to the Law and this time keep it. An strong angel binds Satan and her ungodly hordes for a millennia in the bottomless pit. No one remembers our age, of which many are so proud, except in myth and cautionary tales. We will be to the millennium as the pre-flood world is to us: forgotten.
After a 1000 years of peace, God releases Satan from the pit for a little season. Lucifer knows her time is short and seeks to destroy God’s people and the holy city. Armies of the earth gather together in the great battle of Gog and Magog, encompassing Jerusalem round about. At that time, Israel realizes they crucified Jesus and weep as if they had lost an only begotten child. God’s chosen believe all is lost, but Christ returns and they accept him as their Messiah.
God creates a New Heavens And New Earth
We do not know how long that the earth will remain after this time, but we do know that at some point God will roll this heaven and earth up like a scroll and it will be no more. In that day, God speaks forth a new creation, a New Heavens and New Earth wherein dwells righteousness. The heavenly Jerusalem, the original city of Eden which YHWH removed, will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and the tabernacle of God will be with men forevermore. “
God declares,
“… It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.”
Revelation 21:6-7
