THE ISRAEL OF GOD P1
(transcript of the audio files in the download section)
When the Baptist declared, God is able of these stones to raise children to Abraham, he rebuked the conceit in those Jews that looked down upon those not descended from the Patriarch’s. Paul also taught; “that when Abraham believed God’s promise, it was accounted to him for righteousness, and so they which are of faith, are the children of Abraham.” (Galatians 3:6-7)
So when the Apostle spoke of the Israel of God, he did not boast in the flesh, but rather spoke of those tribes, peoples and nations who descend from Abraham’s faith. And the Spirit of God foreseeing pagan nations would one day be justified by faith, prophesied, saying; “in thee shall all nations be blessed.”
For it is written, when the Most High separated the sons of Adam, He set the inheritance, and boundaries of the nations, according to the number of the sons of Israel. And Jeremiah too revealed an Israel born not of the flesh, but who ever reside in the ordinances of the sun, the moon and the stars, which lights God commanded to exist. And for this cause JESUS said; before Abraham was, IAM.
So, the “proselytes of Judaism’ that occupy Palestine today, are not the tribes of either Abraham’s flesh or faith, as Abrahams faith manifests in the Promised Son. And while half of Christianity await the rapture, the other half look for JESUS return to earth. However, should you turn to the witness of the LORD’s Prophets, and seek the testimony of His Apostles; then the Spirit of God in His Word, shall reveal to you, the Israel of God. Moreover, the Faith of JESUS, in them, shall become in you.
Therefore, let us like Abraham, seek a city whose foundations God has built, and like Paul, seek Jerusalem above. Which Tabernacle of God in the Book of Revelation descends upon a new heaven, and a new earth, and so makes void the ‘religious kingdoms’ men have established upon this earth. For in the foundation stones of this city, are the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. Living-stones fit perfectly into the cornerstone of JESUS Faith.
And upon them the walls of JESUS Pure Gospel and in these walls twelve gates. And in these gates, twelve Angels, and in them, the names of twelve Tribes. And all of these things begun in the natural, when four mothers gave birth to the sons of Jacob, which carnal seed became the Israel men seek. But later JESUS descended from heaven in the flesh, and preached the Kingdom of God, and declared the name of the Father, then ascended back from where he had come.
And from JESUS Word bred four gospels, and of JESUS twelve disciples, eleven Apostles were sent to the Tribes of Jacobs flesh scattered in the nations of their captivity. And while those Apostles cast lots to replace Judas, JESUS chose Paul, and said of him; “for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the nations, and kings, and the children of Israel.” And of this dividing of JESUS Testimony to an ancient Israel, and of an Israel to come from those nations blessed in Abraham’s faith, the prophet Zechariah foretold;
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. (Zechariah 14: 8-9)
In conclusion; as the Angels of the Gates are embedded in the Walls of New Jerusalem, so the inheritance and boundaries of an Israel born of God are bound in the Spirit of Prophecy that is the Testimony of JESUS Christ.
As I have shared. Beasts and Angels in Scripture are portions of JESUS Testimony. Powers ordained by God. The Lion of the Tribe of Juda; JESUS Gospel of the Kingdom. In the blood of the Lamb, the remission of sin. In the Dragon, the accusation and cursing in the law. So it is, in the Angels of the Gates of New Jerusalem, we shall find JESUS Israel. Whose Christ separated Adam’s sons, gave promise to Abraham, delivered the tribes from Egypt, and gave them water from the rock. Which Father by lot, gave them an inheritance in Canaan, and then in his wrath removed Israel and Judah from the land, and cast them to the four winds. Which Promised Son, came in the flesh, and taking upon himself their curse, redeemed JESUS Israel to himself. Paul says;
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Nations through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (Galatians 3:13-14)
And as he did with Abraham, JESUS gave forth His Spirit of Promise to those who would believe upon His Name. Neither Jew nor Gentile, but peoples, nations and tongues who believed like the Chief Apostle Peter;
that JESUS is both LORD and Christ.
We come now to the Gates of JESUS Testimony. Whose Angels call to an Israel gathered from the four winds. In the next sharing we shall begin to look at the Spirit of Prophecy bound in them.
THE ISRAEL OF GOD P2
Isaiah 43:15″ “I am the LORD; your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
The Lights of Israel’s creation, sealed in the ordinances of the moon, the sun, and the stars, remain hidden, until we understand; the LORD shined from Sinai, and from his right hand went a fiery law; even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. And of the Greater Light of Jesus Gospel it is written; “the darkness comprehended it not.” And, if we cannot comprehend the Son, then how much less the Father of Lights.
Nor do men understand the mark of vengeance the LORD placed on Cain, kept him and his seed from harm. Yet in the sevenfold vengeance of the Law, the LORD calls to an Israel fallen, saying ; “If then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham.” (Leviticus 26:41-42)
For in Cain who offered the fruits of his own hands, and dwelt in the cities of men, we see those denominations who worship God in the delusion of their own hearts. And of an Israel in captivity called out by God, saying; “come out of her my people.”
And in the day the LORD separated the sons of Adam, Seth’s descendants first called upon the name of the LORD, and of them Enoch, the seventh from Adam; walked with God and met the LORD in the air. But when the sons of God married the daughters of men, the LORD sent Noah, and from his message came the waters of separation. And all of these things before Abraham breathed, shed light upon an Israel men can neither see, nor comprehend.
But in time Abraham believed, and from him a Promised Son, and from Jacob, twelve sons, born of four mothers. Two free born and two bond. And while we see an Israel formed from the earth, it is so men can begin to fathom the LORD’s Glory. In the pain of their birth, Jacob’s wives foresaw the nature of their sons, and prophesied of the purpose of the LORD’s Christ, bound in tribes yet to come. Of Reuben the firstborn it is written:
And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb.. And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD has looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. Reuben means: behold a son, or see you a son. The LORD’s purpose in the firstborn is to believe; to see the Son.
And Leah conceived again, and bare a second son; and said: “Because the LORD has heard that I was hated, he has therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.” Simeon means: to hear or be heard. And so it is; “Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.”
And this Faith is heard in the Great Commandment: “Israel hear; God is One LORD. In Hebrew, LORD means [The Existing One] and comes from the name the LORD gave Moses; IAM that IAM or I EXIST that I EXIST. Now men teach JESUS is the Christ. I say Amen. But the Chief Apostle Peter taught: JESUS is both LORD and Christ. And this Revelation once opened in you is a door into the Kingdom of God. And all Twelve Gates of New Jerusalem are of this same Pearl without price. As when we understand JESUS is the Existing One Moses wrote of; And when we hear the commandment that defines the Israel of God; then are we joined to JESUS.
And so it is written Leah conceived again, and bare a third son; and said; “Now will my husband be joined to me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. Levi means: to be joined; as in united by love. Of the things shared thus far the Apostle Paul said;
One LORD, One Faith and One Baptism.
Of her fourth son Leah said; “Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah.” Judah means: to Praise. However the mothers prophecies do not exist in isolation. So when placed alongside the context of Jacob’s blessings upon his sons, we begin to see an Israel, who like JESUS; was, and is, and is to come. For Jacob prophesied of Judah saying;
Judah, you shall your brethren praise: your father’s children shall bow down before you…. The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Now this prophecy spoke of the LORD’s Christ; for to him have all nations and peoples gathered. And while from Judah, came David, and from David, came Christ in the flesh; David in the Spirit saw this Son and called Him Lord. Isaiah too gave witness the Promised Son, would be called, the Everlasting Father. And JESUS also bare witness saying; IAM the Root and Offspring of David; That is: Both Father and Son.
And in these things we find the pure essence of Judah, whose mother gave birth and Praised God. And which Spirit of Prophecy uttered in Jacob became a force of creation, that brought forth Israel’s Anointed Lawgiver, full of grace and truth.
So, in the midst of the naming of Jacob’s sons by their mothers, and the prophecies of Jacob over his sons, and the blessings of Moses upon the tribes, we find the Testimony of JESUS; the Creator of Israel. Whose Spirit dwelt in the tribes of Jacobs flesh, and which Spirit of JESUS now abides in those born of Israel’s Commandment, and which Israel of God in time like Enoch, become Spirit.
I pray God open the Gates of New Jerusalem in your hearts. And as we look at the nature of some of the other Tribes. That you might see him, and comprehend the Light, and hear. For it is written. In that day the dead shall hear, and they that hear shall live.
LORD break this WORD of your Spirit in the hearts of the contrite and humble. Bring forth the Israel of God in JESUS Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
THE ISRAEL OF GOD P3
The woman in the Book of Revelation, who stands upon the moon, is clothed with the sun, and adorned with a crown of twelve stars, is the Covenant the LORD entered into with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob; and the descendants of both their flesh and faith. Like the mothers of Jacobs sons, this 1st Covenant, in great sorrow and affliction brings forth the Messiah; the one they called JESUS. And so fulfilled Isaiah’s testimony; “behold a virgin shall conceive and bring forth Emmanuel;” which name means, God with us.
And again, speaking of the LORD’s Christ he says; “unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given; and his name shall be called;… the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father.” And so it is JESUS name means: the Existing One’s Salvation. Amen. For JESUS is the Existing One.
The LORD’s Salvation slain by the religious, and having paid the price of our redemption with his blood, according to the curse in the Law, Eve and Adam first fell into. Which blood Abel foresaw would redeem us, before he too was slain by religious Cain. And so it is written as JESUS soul departed the graves were opened, and later as he ascended, led captivity captive and so gathered to himself all those from Adam to Christ, who had rested in His promises.
However, the blessings, cursing and great tribulation, that played out in the borders of a former Israel, would now unfold in an Israel born in a multitude of nations. When Jacob blessed the children of Joseph born in Egypt, he saw the greater blessing in the youngest, and so crossed his right hand to rest upon the head of Ephraim, saying; “he shall become a multitude of nations.” And further, Jacob bestowed upon the nations, through Ephraim, the name of Israel. So it was upon the cross, JESUS gospel and name, like the waters of Zechariah, flowed into pagan nations in those chosen vessels like Paul, who took God Almighty’s name to Ephraim’s inheritance in the nations, and to kings, and to the children of Israel. An inheritance divided in Adam’s sons, and set apart in heavens lights.
In Revelation the Woman’s seed who keep the Testimony of Jesus and the Commandments of God are taken into the wilderness on the wings of a Great Eagle, and nourished for a time, and times and the dividing of time. And the Dragon wars with her seed. That is those religious peoples who keep the Covenant of the Law; Jew, Christian and Muslim, who seek to kill the Testimony of JESUS in those who abide in the Covenant Jeremiah spoke of. Whereby the Existing One promised; He would write the Glory of His Law in an Israel created by Him. And seeing this Holy Covenant, Jeremiah lifted in the Spirit, spoke of rebuilding Jerusalem.
So too Paul, an Apostle descended of the Tribe of Benjamin. Which son Rachel named as her soul departed; “the son of sorrow.” But who Jacob seeing Christ’s ascension; named the “son of the right hand.” Brother Paul raised in the sorrow of the Pharisees, and struck down by heavens light, begged the name of the Existing One, asking; “who are you LORD?” And came the reply not only for him, but for an Israel dead in sin;
IAM JESUS.
This Faith ascended in Paul, who speaking of the True Covenant the prophet saw, begged we examine our Faith. Which Faith and which Covenant is to know, JESUS Holy Spirit dwells in us.
Howbeit Daniel saw the Lion with eagles wings stood upon the earth, and given a mans heart. And this Covenant from heaven further descending into hell, brings forth the cursing in the Law, and in its end, becomes a contraption manufactured by men. In Revelation the Beast that rises from the waters of the nations is JESUS Gospel and Salvation mutilated by the very religious who appear to be his apostles. And the Apostle John seeing this spirit, testified, the antichrist went out from their midst in those who denied JESUS Christ, is both Father and Son. This is an Israel born of the trinity and other religious idolatry, who fulfill every spec of Ephraim’s wickedness. To these JESUS calls, saying; “come out of her my people.”
These are the multitudes of all nations we see in the Book of Revelation. Whose garments are washed in the blood of the Lamb. And which seed of affliction promised Abraham, must pass through great tribulation. For those so called Christian’s who seek refuge from the tribulation born of their own idolatry, who have committed the very abomination Daniel spoke of; You shall reap what you have sown. Yet, in the sevenfold vengeance of ‘Moses Song’ as shared, the LORD calls to an Israel fallen, saying ; “If then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham.”
In the Book of Revelation we see God’s Israel. Which Tribes bear the name of JESUS, the Everlasting Father. The redeemed first -fruits, who sing as it were, a new song. For while Moses Song commands Israel believe; God is One LORD. JESUS Song prevails in an Israel who believe; He is the Existing One, who was, and who is, and who is come. The Father who gave promise to Abraham; the Promised Son who brought grace and truth, and the Spirit promised in the New Covenant.
And in these Twelve Tribes, JESUS Testimony. Like Leah’s sixth son, who she named Zebulun, saying; “now will my husband dwell with me.” Zebulun’s name means, ‘Exalted Habitation,’ and speaks of New Jerusalem. And of Zebulun, Jacob said; “he would be a haven by the sea, a haven for ships whose border of inheritance would reach to Zidon.” Zidon means to catch fish. And in the days Israel inherited Canaan, Joshua remembered Jacob’s prophecy, and placed Zebulun between the seas of the Mediterranean and Galilee.
However, the true depth of Jacobs’s blessing is seen in Moses prophecy. Of the tribe of Zebulun, Moses saw; “he would call the people, the tribes to the mountain, and offer righteous sacrifice, and suck the abundance of the sea’s.” Zebulun’s tribal banner is that of a ship, or fishing vessel.
As shared previously, each of New Jerusalem’s twelve gates, is an Angel of one of the tribes of Israel. And an Angel is a portion of Jesus Testimony. JESUS Christ’s Angel bound in Zebulun, a seemingly insignificant Tribe, is to call the Israel of God to Mount Zion and not Sinai. To offer up Christ’s sacrifice and salvation, and not the teachings of men. To fish for, and gather in the souls of men. And so it is written.
And leaving Nazareth, JESUS came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulon and Nephthali that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, say; The land of Zebulon, and the land of Nephthali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 4:13-17)
New Jerusalem is the Tabernacle of JESUS Christ. And in the LORD’s Christ, the tribes of Gods Israel are not of this world, nor of the flesh. Nor are they named Israel but bare the name of JESUS.
For they are, and indeed always have been, the Testimony of JESUS Christ.
LORD open the Gates of their understanding to your people. In JESUS Holy name I pray. Amen
