Present Sealing Truth is the Restoration of Lost Truth

Waking up!

When I began to see things happening in the world at the beginning of 2008, my 40th year, I woke up so fast I nearly hit my head on the bed! I realised I had been mozying along, enjoying God's healing in my life, which had been totally awesome but I was unprepared for what he wanted me to be and know. I was UNPREPARED. It had seemed too stressful for me to think about endtimes stuff. I wanted to believe life would just go on and on. But I realised I had gotten to know him, and his love for me in giving his son, I had gotten to know his son's love for me - my older brother and bridegroom and it had brought me healing. And I could consider his urgent message for me in the context of this relationship. But I realised I needed to listen to what he wanted to say to me, because it sure sounded important. He wanted me to trust him as I knew him and he would walk me into a new place! I heard his call, his invite to trust him as he held me by the hand and walked me to where he wants me to be.

As I began to talk to him everywhere I was, everywhere I went, inviting him into conversations, inviting him to travel with me, he began opening up to me! I will never forget the day he spoke the verse into my thoughts, 'the good works I have begun in you, I will be faithful to complete.' What a hold that got on me! I knew there was no way I could save myself, I had a perpetual tendency to backslide, to drift into a lukewarm state. He has promised to do what I cannot do. My heart is deceitful and desperately wicked and who can know it. I can't even trust my own thoughts, I can't lean to my own understanding. I have to cast down imaginations and every thought that exalts against itself a knowledge of God. But he had promised to finish the work in me. I clung to that like a drowning cat, I turned it into a song so I wouldn't forget it! And how He has come through for me! He is my salvation, He is the one who saves and delivers. I need Him every moment.

Here's some of what he has been teaching me.

He wants to tabernacle with me. He will be married to his bride at the coming wedding, a living marriage to his living bride, Rev 19 depicted in Song of Songs, and he wants me to be part of that. For him to be united with me and tabernacle with me, is both a wonderful and dangerous thing. For his presence which is love and light, is a consuming fire to one thing in the universe and that is sin. His presence is destruction to sin whereever that is, and so his challenge is, how to dwell with and in me when there is sin, conscious and unconscious sin within me. He gave us the plan of how he saves us and restores us to his presence in the sanctuary. Entering his gates with thanksgiving, we bring our lamb in contrition and repentance acknowledging and naming our specific sins. Y'shua the lamb of YHWH slain from the foundation of the world bore our sin, and his blood gives us forgiveness. The water that flowed from his side gives us cleansing. The restoration in the Holy place, where our minds are transformed as we learn about him and all misconceptions about him and ourselves melt away, brings us into deeper intimacy with him where we pray at the alter of incense and then enter boldly his throne room of grace. There he has promised to meet with and speak with us. There we hear his voice and dwell in his presence while he writes his law on our minds and heart as we hide it in our heart so we won't sin against him. He wants me to continually dwell in his presence, the refining fire to purge the sin away.

Present truth found by learning where we are in prophetic time

He says, Be established in present truth. So, how do we know what present truth is? Ellen White says, there are many truths in the word of God but it is present truth that the flock need now. Elsewhere she calls present truth, "sealing truth." So, we find present truth by finding the present! So what do the signs of the times tell us about where we are in time? As Ellen White has said, prophecy has given us a roap map to the kingdom of heaven and we don't need to guess at anything. For all these things were written for us upon whom the ends of the world are come. Prophecy tells us that before Y'shua leaves heaven there will be a restitution of all things. Acts 3:21

Signs of the Times. What are the signs telling us? Well, it almost seems stupid to ignore the economic crisis which began when the intelligence agencies warned it would in Oct 2008. Now that Obama's in it's spiralling down again. The Vatican's plan through Bush to totally collapse America's economy last Oct was foiled by a coup high up in his government of military and treasury leaders who worked hard and fast to unravel his drug and crime network, and unravelled his war plans, but the Federal Reserve, the agency of the Vatican bank now owns 3/4's of American's mortgages as a result of the economic emergency package. As we see the papacy seeking to impose a Sunday rest law on the working time directive of the European Union, it's clear that the Vatican are seeking to impose their mark of authority first on Europe. The 'MARK OF THE BEAST' IS MAKING IT'S APPEARANCE. Then America will call for an image to the first beast. The Vatican have withdrawn from being under civil Italian government authority, positioning themselves now to impose their laws on the European Union. The IMF are predicting that 2009 will be the worst year economically since the great depression. Just like Hitler who came to power in the midst of an economic crisis, and set himself up as a dictator through writing executive orders and reducing the powers of the constitution, Jesuit trained Obama, surrounded by Jesuit trained individuals documented in Codeword Barbelon, is setting similarly dangerous precedents. The botched oath of office was retaken, without his hand being placed on a Bible. Truely, the days are at hand and the effect of every vision.

A Catholic lady in Australia recently made contact with a SDA satellite dish agency stating that a relative of hers was a Jesuit priest who had told her of their 13 point plan NOW UNDERWAY to take total control the world, which she began to relate. The first point is to collapse the American economy, and the second step is to collapse the world economy. Becoming very distressed, at this stage she began to cry and said that she now knows for sure that what the SDA's are saying is the truth and she wants to consider being an SDA. Wow! It reminded me of the story David Gates shares of the SDA Pr asked by a Catholic priest to come and cure him of cancer. He said I will on the condition that you let me give you Bible studies, to which he agreed. When he was healed, he arrived at the Catholic priests home to give him the heavy and he was going to share Ellen White, when the priest said come out the back first, and took the SDA Pr to his library which was filled with her books. He said, I am a Jesuit priest. We know all about Ellen White, we know she is a prophet for she was shown all our plans. The Vatican have all her books and the Jesuits know her writings. Sadly however, like the devils they believed and trembled, but didn't have faith.

So here's a question - How is it with you, do you intellectually know it all while devoid of the confidence that you are accepted and loved by the Creator of the universe, do you believe and tremble? Or do you know that you belong, that you are a child of God, that He loves and accepts you? Please, please know and believe, that he is your father who gave his son because he chose to save and reconcile you to himself. Believe that He LOVES you and will save you, has committed to bring you through as more than a conqueror. Just assume that he does and ask him to reveal himself to you - He will! An intellectual belief just won't cut it - you need the confidence deep inside, a deep trust that He won't fail you, He wants to be your closest friend, your confidante, the one you turn to with all your problems, the one who gives you peace. When you've found that, let's look at the exciting things he has been sharing...

How long till the millenial Sabbath rest?

OK, don't tune out here! There's some exciting stuff ahead. As prophecy tells us a 1000 years is as a day, and a day as a thousand years, and the coming millenium which will begin at the end of 6000 years is a Sabbath rest, we know that man's time on this earth has been divided into a divine week of six days/years work and the seventh day/year rest. YHWH says that his spirit will not always strive with flesh but man's days shall be 120 years. Man's days continued on for much longer after he said that in Gen 6, it wasn't 120 years to the flood, it was 100 so what did he mean? The word for years means whole age, or year as a revolution of time. Could he have been referring to the year as a Jubilee which marked the largest revolution of time on his calendar? For 50 * 12 = 6000 years, which agrees again with the 7000 year week of time. In Rev 10 John is told, you must prophesy again... then in Rev 11:1,2 rise and measure the temple of God and the alter and them that worship therein, but the court that is without the temple leave out and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles and the holy city they shall tread underfoot for forty and two months. The measurements of the curtains of the temple include 2 curtains and 2 coverings of 1320 cubits +wood panelling of 720 cubits which = 6000 cubits. These curtains are 30 cubits wide by 4 cubits breadth. They are measurements of time. 11 curtains/measurements 30 days/month * 4 seasons/year of a total of 6000 years. Rev 11 tells us that to measure the temple is to calculate the time. The 1320 measurements of the curtains seem unusual until it is discovered that for 3 of them, 60 cubits are folded back making the measurement 1260, and the average of 1320 and 1260 being 1290. I have only just stumbled on this remarkable discovery and have much, much to learn & I hope it will prompt you also. So it seems that the 6000 year probation is in Genesis 120 days * 50 = 6000, and in the temple curtains that also add up to 6000 years. Over and over again, EGW says 6000 years probation has been granted to man.

What do the timelines reveal? Ushers chronology which puts the beginning date of 4004BC reveals a problem, as 6000 years after that date it is 1996. (6000-4004 + 1) We are well and truely over 6000 years if that is the case - approximately 12 years over! And the prophecies say he will cut the work short, time will be cut short or no flesh will be saved, it doesn't say we go overtime. So we need to reconsider his timeline. Over 100 alternative timelines, very similar have been proposed since Usher produced his well researched mamoth effort. Another possibility is that shared by a SDA student of prophecy and timelines who has concluded on calculating the old testament times, that beginning dates should be 3989BC. The 3989BC date reveals that 6000 years later is 2012 (6000 - 3989 +1). This date is a little over 3 & a half years away. According to some sources, 2017 is the next Jubilee year, the 120th Jubilee since creation and 6000 years. If this is true, this would allow for 2 * 3 & 1/2 year periods that the curtain measurements of the temple predict. The point is that we don't know the day or hour of his coming, but we know it is near even at the door. A time of trouble such as has never been since the beginning of this world, no nor ever will be is arriving.

Ezekiel's prophecy signals our day.

Ezekiel who was commanded by YHWH to lie on his side for 390 days, and on his other side for 40 days to bear the punishment of the house of Israel and Judah, as the passage says it is to be calculated as a day for a year, and consider that if they refuse to repent they will be given 7 times the punishment, the calculations are 390 for Israel * 7 = 2730 years. It began when Israel was carried away captive to Assyria in 720 BC. From 720 BC to 2730 it brings us to 2010.

Times of Jews and gentiles 1974 years

According to his calculations, there were 1974 years from the beginning of Israel & Isaac, in 1941 BC,the son of promise to the stoning of Steven in AD 34. 1974 years alloted to the Jews. As we have considered in previous blogs the statements made by EGW about the rejection of the 1888 message that the SDA church had to go back into the wilderness for another 40 years, and later her statement inferring that we would not return to the borders of Canaan until after 3 generations, which time brings us from 1888 to 2008. From AD 34 to 2008 it is also 1974 years which gives an equal period to the Gentiles. 1974 years of probation for the Jews, and 1974 years of probation for the gentiles ending in 2008. At this time the Copper Scroll of the Dead Sea scrolls has been decoded, revealing locations of temple treasure including ancent scrolls and artifacts hidden by those who hid the temple furniture also. Some locations have been verified and permits to dig granted. It is known that many Jews secretly suspect that Y'shua is the Messiah.

Times of the Israelites - From the Birth of Isaac in 1941 BC --->34 AD, the stoning of Steven, = 1974 years

Times of the Gentiles - From the stoning of Steven in 34 AD ----> 2008 AD = 1974 years

3989 (+1) + 2012 = 6000

6000 - 3989 (+1) = 2012

Daniel 12 and Rev 11 & 13 prophecies of 42 months equivalent to 1260 days, refers to a coming tribulation, but power will be given to YHWH's two witnesses who will prophecy 1260 days clothed in sackcloth. In fact the Revelation 12 prophecies come to life, when it is seen that from Joseph's famine in 1878-187 BC to the fall of Assyria in 612BC is 1260 years. From the same starting place to the Fall of Judah in 586BC is 1290 years and from the same starting place to the Fall of Babylon in 539BC it is 1335 years. I am no chronologist, there may be others of you out there who know the time lines better, but perhaps, if this is true then it may provide a profound insight into these future prophecies. 1290 is 430 * 3

The times of the gentiles have been the times of the trampling underfoot of the holy city (the new Jerusalem). Rev 11:1,2 The truths of the Hebrew roots of Christianity have been trampled underfoot by paganism. "..by him the daily (continual or paganism) was ruwm (translated 'taken away') but the word means, 'to be high actively, to rise, or raise, to bring up, exalt, extol etc). By the papacy paganism was exalted. Y'shua had said to the Jews the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. The gentiles were to be 'grafted in' to the olive tree, whose branches had been broken off. Grafted in to the commonwealth of Israel, the covenants of promise, being made near by the blood of Mashiyach. With great joy and rejoicing the gentiles accepted the good news, but when the Gentiles began interpreting the message in the context of their pagan understandings and rejected the Jewish connections by such statements as Constantines, 'let us have nothing more to do with that despicable people,' and began agreeing in councils and creeds to pagan constructions of Jewish truths, thinking to change YHWH's times and laws & influencing the texts, Jerusalem began to be trodden under foot by the apostasy, waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecy of restoration, 'how long shall be the vision concerning the daily and the transgression of desolation to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot. Until 2300 days then shall the be sanctuary be cleansed'. Thus finally beginning the work of restoration in 1844 There are some interesting statements that Paul makes about the Jews in the future, for example, "For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be but life from the dead? Rom 11:15 'Blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.' Rom 11:25 Is it possible that when the times of the gentiles are finished, the Jews blindness being undone, the truths of the original faith of the followers of the Way, the children of light, the Nazarene's and the Heavenly sanctuary truths will no longer be trodden under foot but fully restored, the restoration that Elijah brings before the great and terrible day of YHWH.

The 430 year soujourn prophesied to Abraham at the covenant

The assembly or Miqra were led out of Egypt to celebrate a feast to YHWH in the wilderness. The church (word miqra) are called out of Babylon to celebrate a feast. The tabernacle was called the tabernacle of the mow'ed (translated feast). The feasts or mow'eds (the appointed meeting times) are delineated in Lev 23. Israel were led out exactly 430 years to the day of the prophecy of Genesis 15:13 "Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years...But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full." "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass, at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt." Ex 12:40,41 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Gal 3:17 It was 430 years from the giving of the covenant to the law, according to Paul. It was the fourth generation from the beginning of their bondage which began around the time of the birth of Moses, to the entrance into Canaan which was measured by the life span of Moses being 120 years, or 3 generations. Now lets make application of these principles.

It is evident that the church was on the borders of Canaan in 1888, and Jones and Wagonner were the equivalent of Caleb & Yeshua who were sent with a message to lead the SDA people into the promised land, which she said would have been two years later if the church had received the message. Yeshua led the children of Israel into the promised land, after 40 years in the wilderness and after Moses death at the exact age of 120 years (3 generations- 40 years in Egypt, 40 years in training as a shepherd, 40 years as God's leader of the children of Israel). After the children of Israel mourned Moses for 30 days they crossed over the Jordan under the leadership of Yeshua, being baptised in the river Jordan by Joshua, a direct type of Y'shua, who led them into the promised land, conquering and to conquer. Only 2 men went into Canaan of the original multitude who left Egypt. For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. (Numbers 26:65) They were the two men of faith, who had spoken encouraging words to the children of Israel that they could easily go into Canaan as YHWH was with them. For us, Jones and Wagonner, those 2 men of faith have been a lasting testimony to our previous three generations urging God's people to believe and enter in by faith.

120 years - at the beginning of the 4th generation Israel returns to Canaan's borders

EGW quotes Genesis 15:13 about the fourth generation. In context, it reveals that Israel would be brought back to Canaan when the iniquity of the amourites were full. For us it means that it would be another four generations till the SDA church came back to the land of Canaan - when the iniquity of the Amourites are full - the Amourites were a heathen nation who occupied Canaan. For when Israel enters Canaan it is conquering and to conquer. And the nations would be overthrown in judgement, but not before their cup was full. EGW says when the judgements of God will be in the land the door will be closed to those who would not enter while it will be stretched out to those in mercy experiencing the judgements.

Back then, EGW's fear was that some of the SDA leaders had passed the boundaries of YHWH's limits in consideration of how YHWH treated the heathen. SDA's were on the borders at 1888 and like the Israelites they chose to believe the 10 spies of doubt instead of the 2 full of faith, and the message was rejected, we had to go back wandering for 40 years. Here she infers that like Israel, 120 years on now in 2008, when the iniquity of the heathen nations are full, as testified by an angel to a Norwegian SDA man in 2006/2007, we have arrived again at the borders, and this time only those of faith will go in. Those who go in, go in by faith, and enter into his rest. What is his rest? Hebrews 3 & 4 tells us it is a "keeping of a Sabbath" Hebrews 4:9. "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works as God did from his." Heb 4:10 The whole purpose of the Exodus was to give Israel rest, Sabbath rest. the day they left Egypt was a Sabbath rest day, it was the first Sabbath of the feast of unleavened bread. The entrance to the kingdom of God, being baptised by water and the spirit was into rest. Come to me all you who labour and are weary laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. The day after the Israelites crossed over Jordan they kept Passover for the first time in the forty years of their wilderness wanderings. They entered into rest!

These things were all written for us upon whom the ends of the world are come. So we are on the borders of Canaan. It is at the borders of Canaan that the leadership of Moses gave way to the leadership of Y'shua (Joshua who symbolised the Maschiyach) Now we stand at the borders of Canaan. Elijah must come and preach the way of righteousness and usher in the leadership of Y'shua, who will take the reigns into his own hands. The day of YHWH is at hand and the end of all things and the destruction of this earth and galaxy by fire. Prophecy tells us that there is to be a restoration before Y'shua returns, that there is to be an outpouring of the latter rain, the raining of righteousness, that Y'shua himself will come to us as the rain, as the dew, that this rain and dew is doctrine. Y'shua himself will come to us! Prophecy tells us that there is to be greater light, in fact the Laodicean message says that we think we have it all when we don't know that he wants to sit down and feast with us. Revelation 18 reveals that the light, which is truth and doctrine & righteousness, the character of YHWH will shine so bright that it will lighten the earth with the glory of the angel messenger.

So there is to be greater light. EGW says 'we have only the faintest glimmerings of the light that is to come.' She says that the angel told her there is more light to shine from the law and the gospel. How are we to approach the study of new light? We are to come humbly, as little children, with no pride of opinion, laying aside all knowledge, and saying I know nothing yet as I ought to know it. I've found great joy and understanding in starting with the alphabet, as little children do, the ancient hebrew alephbet is the key to understanding the words, and to unlock the meanings! If you would like a study of quotes on how we are to approach new light,or on how to learn ancient hebrew, just send an email request.

In 27 AD at the end of the 69 weeks of Daniels chapter 9 prophecy, Elijah came as prophesied. John the baptist, who came in the spirit and power of Elijah came baptising at the Crossing of the river Jordan! (This is revealed in the restored text of the Aramaic English New Testament) What a powerful symbolism. The entrance to the kingdom of heaven which was arriving, John was saying was like crossing over into spiritual Caanan. The way in was by confessing their sins and repenting, being baptised at the crossing of the Jordan.

Is not this message relevant for us upon whom the ends of the world are come? Before Y'shua comes again, there is the prophecy of Malachi 1:1-3 and 4 of the messenger who prepares the way before the messenger of the covenant who comes suddenly to his temple. Elijah who will restore all things. A teacher of righteousness according to righteousness. Elijah being the antitype of John, comes also at the end of 120 years of the leader, calling again for people to be baptised at the crossing of the river Jordan, saying, Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. This message is the Laodicean message to the people of the judgement who think they are rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing, and don't know that they are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. The message that will cause a shaking among YHWH's people. (see the Shaking chapter in EW) John came in the way of righteousness, says Y'shua. He came after the word of YHWH came to him while he was in the wilderness. He was sent to humble every mountain and exalt every valley, to make straight the way of YHWH. The way is the way of righteousness. Righteousness is straightness in the ancient hebrew. A teacher is one who shoots an arrow straight, or hits the mark. And so to make a straight way, is to define righteousness. John preached the message of righteousness and repentence. John was a teacher of righteousness. He prepared the Way of the Messiah. The Elijah movement will do the same.

Light on the Essene community at Qumran where the dead sea scrolls were found indicates it is possibly the place where John was raised, as 'the child grew and waxed strong in spirit and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.' Luke 1:80. This community was raised up by a 'teacher of righteousness' whose idenitity is unknown but referred to in documents found at Qumran, and was likely those from the house of Zadok, who were told by YHWH that they were to minister before him as the word Zadok means righteous. This community did'nt recognise the authority of the corrupt Herodian Jewish leadership which had usurped the priesthood and been appointed by Herod. They were independent and separated. They themselves sought to live as the Levites. Here John was raised according to historical records, which says his mother brought him there and we know from the dead sea scrolls that the Qumran community raised children. When he came baptising at Bethabara it was in the same district known as the 'wilderness', only 8 miles from Qumran, the Essene community. They practiced baptism, they had recipes for cooking locusts, the diet of John the Baptist. The word of YHWH came to John, and then he began baptising. John's simple life deep in the things of YHWH, evangelistic, is a pattern for all those who seek to be part of the 144,000.

Many prophecies were made over the life of John. "Behold I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and YHWH whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom he delight in: behold he shall come, says YHWH of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming, and who shall stand when he appears, for he is like a refiners fire, and like fullers soap. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifyer of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto YHWH an offering in righteousness....and I will come near to you to judgement; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith YHWH of hosts. (His judgement is based on the ten commandments and the mitzvot of the the TORAH). Then he goes on to mention how the tithing has been stopped, and so we are cursed. The tithing is NOT mentioned in the ten commandments. It is a law of the TORAH, but an expansion on the law on stealing as it designates what belongs to YHWH, his rights and our responsibility. Without the torah though, this passage makes no sense. The judgement that the messenger of the covenant does (Y'shua) is according to the TORAH. The messengers who come in the spirit and power of Elijah, prepare the way, and restoring the paths by the call to"Remember ye the TORAH of Moses, with the statutes and judgements."

The messengers who have met with Y'shua in the Most Holy Place in the refiners fire, by recieving the Laodicean message, allowing it to purge away all dross will come in the spirit & power of Elijah, bringing the message of Moses! Could this be what is meant by the prophecy of the two witnesses during the 1260 days in Rev 11? They are symbolic figures as are Elijah and Moses and Elijah will come, reveals the prophet Malachi, saying, "Remember ye the Torah of Moses, with the statutes and judgements." John, who typified the last great Elijah movement, "came in the way of righteousness." The Elijah movement is a movement of righteousness, restoring the way, the paths of righteousness, defining the WILL of the FATHER. Y'shua said, "I delight to do THY WILL OH MY ELOHIM, YEA THY TORAH IS WITHIN MY HEART. Here is the clearest definition of sin, of righteousness, of the righteousness of Y'shua.

Here too is our example. He says for their sake I sanctify myself. How was he sanctified? Sanctify them by your truth, your word is truth. By dwelling in his presence in the most holy place where his ten commandments are in the ark and his TORAH is written and placed in the side of the ark, and the mitzvah given by his own mouth to Moses, the messengers willingly go into the refiners fire. Thy word I have hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee. The fire is the light of his presence where his light, which is in the torah shines and reveals all darkness all secret sins. "Thou has set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance." Ps 90:8 The 144,000 have no guile in their mouths for they are without fault. They have been in the light of YHWH's countenance, where their secret sins have been exposed and purged, and there is no fault in them! How I long to be in that group, don't you! how awful to have him come to us and find us unready, still hanging onto our ugly sin. What a joy and freedom to let it go!

Knowing Y'shua as the son of the Father, knowing our own identity as adopted sons and daughters, knowing the Father, that he is love, that he is light and in him is no darkness at all, knowing we have been put to death and raised up into a new life, and sit together in heavenly places in Y'hsua, coming into his presence is a joy. Knowing his name, knowing his character, knowing our Elohim, that he is a consuming fire which brings light and life, protection and warmth to his people, but darkness and destruction to those who hold onto sin we will worship through the sanctuary to come into the presence of YHWH. The Shekinah glory of the presence of YHWH that destroyed Nadab and Abihu, was the same Shekinah glory of the Son of YHWH that protected Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo, only destroying the ropes that bound them! Fearing YHWH above all gods and all who pretend to be god, the three worthies who asserted their right to worship their Elohim according to the dictates of their own conscience were cast into the fire. The earthly fire would have consumed them, but YHWH's son, a consuming fire himself placed himself in that fire, that protected them by his shekinah which didn't even consume their clothing. The protecting fire of his presence will be a shield to us, for it is prophesied after the judgement of the living in Jerusalem there will be a cloud by day and a fire by night over the dwellings and assemblies of his people!

The fire of His presence which destroys the sin and the sinner, was life and preservation to the righteous young men who were more afraid of sin than of the fire. The fire had already consumed their sin, and now in the fire of his presence, only the ropes that bound them were consumed. How do we know they were in the fire of YHWH's presence? When Nadab & Abihu disobeyed by burning the wrong fire before YHWH, "fire blazed forth from YHWH's presence and burned them up." Do you think anything would be left of them after reading that? Levitcus 10:1-5 "So they came forward and picked them up by their garments and carried them out of the camp as Moses had commanded." The fire of YHWH's presence didn't even consume their clothing. Sin in the presence of YHWH who is a consuming fire, who consumes sin, had caused the death of the sinner. The laws and ways of YHWH are to protect the sinner from the consuming fire of his presence which destroys sin.

The most holy experience we are invited into in the refining fire of his presence, is preparation for the wedding that will happen in the judgement of the living as the test of the national sunday law will bring the hour of YHWH's judgement. In that place, we hear his repeated message to us, his message to the people of the judgement, you are Laodicean. You are self decieved. You think you are something that you are not. You are sick and dying and you have a problem and don't even know it. We need to hear the diagnosis. We think we are rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing and don't know that we are wretched miserable poor blind and naked. We compare ourselves among ourselves, which is NOT wise as He is our standard. We can do nothing more or nothing less than to be zealous and repent. For our pride and spiritual self sufficiency, our arrogance and self importance, our blindness and nakedness make Y'shua sick and he will vomit us out of his body. If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked and who can know it? The truth sets us free from our self deception about our condition. Unless we accept the truth we will die in our self deception. Laodicea is dying and doesn't know it, just like someone dying of hypothermia. We have to rely on God's assessment of us. None are righteous, no not one, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. In the last days perilous times will come. Men will be lovers of themselves, coveteous..etc. having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. Ever learning and never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Examine yourselves whether you be in the faith, prove your own selves that you be in the faith. This is our horrendous condition before a holy God.

Y'shua has the terrible position of needing to tell us that we are self decieved, like the pharisees, that like the frog in the warm water we may feel happy and warm, but we are enjoying our way to death in our self deception. Like emergency rescue services rescuing the deluded swimmer floating along happily while caught in a rip, there is a drastic need to hear and believe the truth. The only way out is to acknowledge it and repent, and receive the gifts, the robe, the gold, and the eyesalve. His message is one of extreme love, a message of tough love - here's the truth spoken in love. We must receive his testimony about ourselves, humble ourselves and confess our sins and repent of our sinsickness, our Laodiceanism, for there is much much more we need to learn and experience. In fact, Y'shua is knocking on the door of our hearts as he wants to come in and sup with us - there is a feast of truth he has waiting for us, but it is only available to those who recognise that they are little children, wholly dependent on him, and don't have everything and need more. A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. When you have a new heart you will loath yourselves for your iniquitites. But Laodicea doesn't loath herself. She is self deceived. Can you think of one person in spiritual society that you think you are spiritually better than? That indicates your condition. Laodicea doesn't know that she is wretched? Paul says, speaking of his carnal heart, Oh wretched man that I am. Paul said I am the least of all the apostles. I am less than the least of all saints. Let's ask Paul, can you think of one decrepit sinner that you think you are better than? He replies, I am the chief of all sinners. So here's the criteria - if you think your good, you have a problem. If you think you are a sinner and need help, you know your problem. If you think there is anyone you are better than you have a problem and don't know it - you have that same pharisaical spirit.

Luke 18:9 Y'shua spoke this parable to certain that trusted in themselves that they were righteous. Two men went up into the temple to pray. The one a pharisee the other a publican. The pharisee said, 'I thank you that I am not like this publican.' The publican said, 'God be merciful to me a sinner'. It was the publican who went down to his house justified. If I don't think I have a problem, I won't look for or accept a solution. The fact is I have a problem. But the truth is I need the blood of Y'shua to cover me. I don't want him to spew me out of his mouth. The truth will set me free - I am laodicean. You are laodicean. This is our condition. This is the sickness that is killing us, like a silent cancer. What is it like when I am diagnosed with cancer? Wow, it's horrible to be told the truth. But that truth could save me, as the desperation I feel will compel me to seek for help and find healing.

Restoring the whole pomegranate.

Just before the sealing the bride realises that she is not reconciled to her bridegroom, that she is not ready, that she doesn't want to be despised in her Laodicean condition. The story of the bride is given in the prophetic book of the Song of Songs 8:1-3 She has lost the knowledge that he is her brother who sucked the breasts of their mother. The mother is the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament. Y'shua was reared on this, he fed on this, he was the word made flesh. The bride realises she needs to take him with her into her mothers house who will instruct her, there is drunk the spiced wine of the fruit of the pomegranate. The pomegranate symbolises the mitzvot (commandments) of the TORAH, and it is used to symbolise the forehead of the bride, whose forehead is like just a piece of a pomegranate. She needs to taste the wine, the doctrine of the pomegranate (the TORAH). His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. Her bridegroom supports her completely in this experience. Afterwards she calls out, set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm. (The symbolic prophetic Song of Songs by Marian Berry is a good foundational book to begin to understand this book of the Most Holy Place experience available from Endtime Publishing)

EGW says in Great Controversey the chapter on the loud cry, that there is a special truth for every generation and that YHWH will give a special truth to his people in an emergency, who dare refuse to publish it. They must do their duty and leave the results with YHWH. The Sabbath will be proclaimed more fully. In Revelation 18 we see an angel coming down from heaven with great power (authority) and the earth is lightened with his glory. In Isaiah 60 we read the words, Arise and shine for your light is come and the glory of YHWH is risen upon thee. There is a special truth for God's people in an emergency. Father has special truth for us adapted to our needs at this time that will be sealing truth. These truths will never be accepted however by a rich and full people who are blind, naked, poor, wretched and miserable. The rich and poor will be sent away empty, but the hungry and needy will be satisfied. How ugly our self sufficiency appears! May YHWH help me to constantly know my dependency on him.

Our personal and the church's corporate destiny hangs on the manner in which it receives the Laodicean message. If we reject it, we will be spewed out of the body of Y'shua. If we receive it, and open the door, we will sit down to feast with Y'shua. The feast takes place under the latter rain as shown in Joel 2, where YHWH's people eat of the corn wine and oil and are satisfied and praise his name! Those who receive the latter rain will be brought to maturity for the harvest and will be sealed. (The Shaking chapter Early Writings)

What is the light that will lighten the earth with it's glory? The light of the knowledge of the glory of Elohim is seen in the face of Y'shua Mashiyach. The glory of YHWH is his character as he revealed to Moses when he asked if he could see his glory. The knowledge of the character of the Father and his son is that light, but how is their character defined? Do we really know and appreciate, understand and interpret & experiencce their character correctly? Could it be that there is more to learn about Y'shua Mashiyach? As that prophecy has not yet been fulfilled with the glory lightening the earth, we must assume that we haven't known everything about him.

During my journey late last year, a very big question I began to ask was, what law did Y'shua keep? What law was the standard of HIS righteousness? Was it just the ten commandments? Or did it include the Torah and the prophets which all hang on the ten commandments stated in the principle of supreme love to YHWH and equal love to one another? In most of our minds there has been the assumption that Y'shua just kept the ten commandments. I have begun searching the Bible to see what law Y'shua did keep. Did he ever indicate that the TORAH would be done away with? Did he ever contend with the Pharisees for keeping the Torah, the law of Moses? Did he encourage the Jews to keep the Torah or to break it? Did HE keep the Torah? Could it be possible that we have too narrow a view of Y'shua?

Born of a Jewish virgin, living in a Jewish culture, in a Jewish family, it wasn't because he broke the torah, but because he transgressed the human traditions of the Pharisees that he was hated by them. He said, which of you convicts me of sin? He told the people he healed to go to the temple in accordance with the law of Moses. The 'new commandment', was just the embodiment of the principle on which the whole old testament was based on. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12) It didn't do away with the old. It just highlighted the principle, so that people got it, people who were bogged down under heavy burdens of finicky religiousity. For people who had forgotten how to love. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17)For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Matthew 5:18)

The word for light in the ancient hebrew is AWRH from where we get aura. The word for instruction or the translated word law is TWRH. The root word for light is WRH and this word is actually IN the TWRH! Literally, light is IN the torah! For the commandment is a lamp and the TOWRAH is AWRH (LIGHT)! The TWRH IS AWRH. The torah is aura. What then is the glory that lightens the earth in Revelation 18. It is the revelation of the WHOLE righteousness of Mashiyach!

The word twrh is fascinating in ancient hebrew as the Hasidic Lubavitch Jews will tell you, who only read the ancient hebrew. I can see a prophetic meaning that can only really be understood in an end time context, that may have never been understood and appreciated before! This meaning could actually be the key to answering our question as to what is the light, and what law did Y'shua keep? It may be the key to understanding what we need to know to be sealed. For present truth is sealing truth.

The letter het which we call the letter h is a picture of a man with his hands in the air, and means - behold the great sight, sigh at the great revelation.

The letter resh which we call the letter r is a picture of a man's head which mean's first, beginning, head or chief man.

The letter waw is actually a Y which is a picture a tent peg and mean's to add or secure.

The letter taw is what we now have as a t and came from marking something by crossing two sticks, and means mark, sign or signature.

Every word is a sentence in ancient hebrew, so you can figure out what it means..and hebrew is read from right to left.

Behold & sigh at the great revelation of the first beginning, or chief, head man, to secure or add, the mark sign or signature!

The torah is a full revelation of the complete righteousness of Y'shua, the will of the Father. Nothing new but an expansion of the principles of the ten commandments. Y'shua himself, the first, beginning, chief or head man, said, 'I delight to do thy will Oh my Elohim, yea your TORAH is within my heart. 'Y'shua said himself that the Torah was in his heart! Is the TORAH light? .."the TORAH is LIGHT".. Proverbs 6:23 "..to the TORAH and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no LIGHT in them. " Is 8:20 To put this in the positive, There is light in those who speak according to the word, of the TORAH and the testimony. For the priest' lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the Torah at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 2:7) The light of the knowledge of the character of YHWH is seen in the face of Y'hsua Mashiyach. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. His character is righteousness which is defined by the torah as he said (I delight to do thy will Oh my YHWH, yea thy torah is within my heart.) It will be those who have his law in their hearts who will be sealed, and there cannot be anything missing, 'for whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all' says James in 2:10 where he highlights a torah law against having respect of persons of poverty or wealth which he says is sin against the law as transgressors. Here is a definition of sin based on the torah and a definition of righteousness as keeping the whole torah.

If this is indeed true, as I'm just discovering these things, and continuing sound research backs this up, this doesn't change our understanding of the gospel, however it does enlarge our understanding of Y'shua, or sin, of the law and of righteousness. For example how do we know not to eat pork? It is one of the torah laws on diet. How do we know that withholding 10% of our income is stealing from YHWH and will bring a curse on us? It's a torah command. Will we teach some of the torah and not others? EGW says in her 1975 article on the law of God that the statutues and judgements expand the moral law and are binding as long as time shall last. The torah has laws that enlarge the ten commandments, and laws that apply only under a theocracy, but many of these principles we need to understand. As the definition of sin, the Way of righteousness and the definition of righteousness, the law is critical to define as a standard core ingredients to appreciating the gospel. Did the early believers, followers of the Way believe this? Yes they did! The Netzari, or Nazarenes as they were known kept and did not forsake the Torah, they were simply straight Jews who did not accept the Rabbinical laws but just the Torah.

And the dragon was wrath with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of YHWH and have the testimony of Y'shua Mashiyach. Who are the remnant? They are the remnant of the original, the remnant of the seed of the woman. They keep the commandments. The promise to the Laodiceans is if we will be zealous and repent, and open the door at his knocking, he will come in and sup with us. What does he mean that he will sup or eat with us?? The wedding that the 10 virgins are waiting for, is a wedding feast. Those who don't have enough oil at the time of the marriage and go away to buy more, miss the procession and then come knocking at the door where the feast is taking place, but the bridegroom says, go away, I don't know you. We are in the preparation day before the sabbath when twice as much manna should be collected. We need double the amount of the word. The latter rain is a feast of the barley, wheat, corn, wine and oil. Barley and wheat are the milk of the word, wine is the doctrine and oil is the spirit. The first wedding that Y'shua attended, that typified to him the joy that was set before him, of his pure and perfect bride, the very first public attendance of his ministry was a feast, where he turned the water into wine. The last great invitation is to a feast. The parable of the king's supper is of the King who prepared a marriage feast for his son, and sent his servants out to invite all others to the feast. What is eaten at a feast? Food!

This feast is not literal. It is a spiritual feast and what is spiritual food? Thy words were found and I did eat them and thy words were unto me the joy and rejoicing of my soul. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of YHWH. My words are spirit and they are life. Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb for it happens at the time of the wedding, which is the NSL crisis, the judgement of the living.

For it's a feast of present truth! Sealing truth, lost truth!

The lost gems that have been scattered in the dust of William Millars dream. When recovered and restored by the man with the dirt brush and by the wind that will blow away the dust and false gems, they will shine with 10 times the brilliance!
