If we cover a field with some earthly material, it will not produce any vegetation. It cannot be
ploughed, watered . . . then neither may anybody wait for any fruit from it. If we want to have
vegetation, the ground should be uncovered to receive light and air. Although soul deeds does not bear fruit for God, they are not distinct at God if man has accepted Christ Jesus. It is because God the Father gave Mercy for Christ Jesus while he bore all soul deeds. And so, this Mercy covers all deeds of our soul if we are under God's covering - the second part of the way.
Now, a part of our being is uncovered in order to bear fruit of light at least there. Then it continues step by step as we are more in likeness to Christ Jesus.
We are placed in the Eden, a separated ground. Our newborn spirit has to take nourishment from it. If we are exposed to God's Light, our spirit grows. It is like new trees growing and bearing fruit, like the new creation. Therefore, the Lord requires the increasing of His values in us (Matthew 25:24-30).
Vegetation is very useful for keeping life in our world. We breathe in order to obtain a gas called
"oxygen" which is in the air. The air we draw into our lungs has about 21 percent oxygen.
Sixteen percent oxygen is going out. Not only we do it but animals and birds do so as well. Yet,
from where can we get oxygen?
The equation for our life is:
food + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy.
The basic component of the food is sucrose. It quickly supplies our body with energy.
Our foods are mostly from earth's products so from vegetation producing sucrose - glucose. For
our food is the same equation, but reversed.
carbon dioxide + water + light (energy) = food (glucose) + oxygen
In this process of photosynthesis, green plants grows and produces oxygen in the presence of
light. Thus, people cannot exist on the earth without plants. Transforming in spiritual
understanding, Christ Jesus was the first plant exposed to Light and so produced first new
oxygen for new generation. He was the first tree of life on our earth. He was as transplanted
from the middle of the Paradise into the middle of the world, into Palestine that His seeds may
multiply and fill whole earth. He took our products - sins (carbon dioxide), cleansed us in the
presence of light and the result has been done - the food for people who were and are hungry and
thirsty, who are losing sense of their life.
Thus, Christians has started exist and now is our duty to grow under the Light. When it is so, we
are producing such "free oxygen" (aroma) that others may it breathe. As life still exists in our
world thanks to green plants, so God's life (God's presence) exists in our world because
newborn Christians still exist in it. (1. Corinthians 12:7)
As it was said, the earth was first covered by waters. After energy had come to Earth, it produced
some kind of gas (expanse) and the water above an expanse. Because in solution (the water)
were also ions HCO3, the gas carbon dioxide was produced. Because carbon dioxide is heavier
than water - vapors, it separated waters. Carbon dioxide made the expanse. Waters above made
water layer lying above the Earth's surface. Thus could have been on the second day of the
Creation. By more cooling the Earth, (perhaps because the water layer), dissolved carbonates
could not exist in solvent and precipitated. That is why the dry ground appeared on the third day.
You can notice there was not any oxygen or, not enough of it on the beginning of the third day of
the Creation.
That is why was necessary to create plants to produce free oxygen.
Christians are as plants because the Bible calls us branches of the vine
(John 15:5).
Scriptures say about us, you are the aroma of Christ among those whom
they are saving and those who are perishing (2 Corinthians 2:15-16), you
are light of the World (Matthew 5:14), so "you are new creation
producing oxygen for others who have to live."
When the Israelites had to bring a sheaf of the first grain into God's presence, they also had to sacrifice a burnt offering. "On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the Lord . . . " As first so now, they had to offer a lamb a year old without a defect. But now, a lamb does not have to be consumed but burned to God because, we already received a lamb in the beginning of the way. Our newborn spirit makes us a new being according to God's Lamb. We are new beings, God's people, Christ's offspring. This newness in our life has come from God. We could not rise to eternal life just by ourselves. Therefore, it belongs to God, so the lamb is burnt for God. It is as it would be the nourishment for God that God's Son is successful in humans.
They had to offer the grain by fire; flour mixed with oil. Bread is made from ground grain. The
Scriptures say that God's Word is also like bread. The expression 'oil' in the Bible signifies the
Holy Spirit (Isaiah 61:1).
Many people read the Bible, they may be scientists, artists or anyone who wants to obtain some
profit from it. Yet the Lord Jesus Christ taught his disciples to understand Scriptures. He went to
Heaven and the Holy Spirit has taken His place on the earth. So, the Holy Spirit should teach us
to understand Scriptures. Or, as we read the Bible we have to receive it so as the Holy Spirit
would speak to us. Hence, God by this order wants us to read His Word, the Bible, by the
presence of the Holy Spirit.
People from Israel offered only a small part from their grain and a majority was kept for themselves. In the Bible are some words praising God and other words for instructing us. So, if we read the Bible first for Him, (words praising Him) then, we surely will have the maximum of God's blessing from the written Texts. Or, first as we start to read, we need to be on the line with God.
It is forbidden to read the Bible without looking for the Christ Jesus, without praising God because, "You must not eat any bread until you have offered it to God" or first "to offer the one year lamb." Only who is led closer (by the Holy Spirit) to the Lord Jesus Christ can read God's Word with profit.
They had to offer a drink offering what is wine. The miracle - changing water into wine
presented Christ. Here we are speaking about a liquid that we use not only to quench our thirst
but also to amuse our mind. God's Word is also expressed like the water of life. We cannot live
without the water. We need to drink. However, we may drink also such a beverage that cheers
our soul and we have a joy in drinking. (Wine is mostly used for this purpose.)
So, the Spirit of God can make God's Word so tasty like wine. Solomon said that "A man finds
joy in giving an apt reply-- and how good is a timely word!" and "To man belong the plans
of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply " (Proverbs 15:23 and 16:1). The Holy Spirit
wants to give God's Word by a way that cherishes us and heals us (Proverbs 16:24). Men wrote
the Bible. They were God's vessels. God breathed all Scriptures into the sacred writers. Because
of God's inspiration, all the Scriptures of the Bible are the very Words of God.
God created man. He formed him from the dust of the ground. Then God breathed into him the breath of life and so Adam received God's spirit in his body. After his fall, Jesus Christ came that God's spirit may be alive in people. Everyone who has come to Jesus Christ has his spirit born again, conceived to life.
So, if the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible and Spirit of God the Son has raised our spirit then, we may take both breathe and be drunk. We might drink wine. We do it so that we take the Bible in our hands by the faith that Spirit of God the Son leads our spirit who works in our body (leads other parts of our body, e.g., eyes) to read exactly that Word which we need. If we would read loudly then, as it comes to our mouths, it is sweet to our gums and make our mind cheerful. We are happy that we have received exactly that word, which we needed. It makes us different from other readers of the Bible and we are high (higher over them).
These words are usually like parables. Jesus Christ also used parables in His preaching on the
earth. Thus, we feel like to be his disciples.
However, if God's spirit is in us then, we may understand these parables.
Jesus said: "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but
to others I speak in parables, so that, 'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they
may not understand'" (Luke 8:10).
We should take God's Word like wine on each part of the way. However, it is very important on the third part of the way because of the built of our new character. Namely, the wine primary in God's terms means the new eternal spirit, like bread means originally the eternal form of our flesh.
Look at the Word. First there had been the Word for our world then It became Flesh (John 1:14) and it was spirit. So, if we want our spirit to grow, to rule in our body, we need first to get the Word from the Lord. This Word "builds" our spirit, it acts in our flesh. After leaving our body, this spirit will enter the real Eden.
A grown characteristic of our new being should not be considered just as ours because Israelites were giving first fruit to the Lord ("You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your God").
Wine is used, that is why Moses did not present it on the table in the Tabernacle. There are just empty jars. It is the New covenant.
Christians still await the Resurrection or the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Then, the Lord
will not resurrect our spirit because this is done now but will resurrect our body. We will get the
eternal flesh. This is prepared for us from the beginning and therefore, these items pictured by
bread are on the Presentation Table. They are for us because they are in the number of our
princes from the earth, in the number twelve.
Believers in Christ Jesus have to be new beings already on the earth. To produce desired effects
is needed to read God's Word - the Bible in faith that the Holy Spirit speaks to us. It is like
drinking wine from God, and it produces a grow of spirit (wine).
I see in Moses' death God's Laws went from theoretic field to its practical use in earthly life.
Joshua was the leader, who conquered each enemy on their way. The Lord gave a rest to His
people on every side, just as he had sworn to their ancestors, not one of their enemies withstood
them; the Lord handed all enemies over to them.
It means, our Leader the Lord Jesus Christ leads us to conquer our spiritual enemies. Not one of
our enemies may withstand the presence of our Lord because He crushed Satan under His feet
(Romans 16:20). We may now rule spiritually in our "land", where the new seed, our spirit
grows.
Joshua judged earthly kings (Joshua 10) and therefore, the Lord Jesus Christ will judge our
world.
Joshua could not give them a rest forever (Hebrews 4). However, our Lord has completed it what the Law initiated. He brought His people into God's Sabbath (Matthew 11:28). We may now rest in our spirit and will continue also in new bodies after the Resurrection or the Rapture.
God by Joshua established His people on His territories. He allotted the land for tribes and for clans. The Lord gave all land to Israel and they could settle there. The same way God by His Son the Lord Jesus Christ has placed Christians on Heavenly territories for ever. Jesus Christ went to Heaven to prepare places for us, "to allot" them among His followers. The Bible names that city the New Jerusalem
Israelites took plunder from previous settlements of Palestine. Similarly, we are going to do the
same and get "properties" that Satan and his followers earlier occupied.
In our life, if people wanted to gain plunder from a war, they had to follow an army leader.
Similarly, if we want to gain something from our Leader's plunder, we need to follow Him.
Today, we are just wandering in our world like Abraham and Jacob did. ("Every place that the
sole of your foot sets, that have I given you for a possession." - Genesis 17:8) Later God will give
the earth also for us to rule here for a thousand years (Revelation 20:4).
If we are in God, we may get at least gifts from Christ's victory. He entered the Heaven to capture gifts (Ephesians 4:8).
When Israel had entered the Promised Land, they circumcised those who had been in the
wilderness for forty years and had not been circumcised yet (Joshua 5:3). In this circumcision at
Gilgal, Joshua prepared the entire nation to enter the new land and to take a part in new wars.
A circumcision for Christians means to cut out wrong deeds, wild branches of our bodies.
Practically, all who have come to the Lord Jesus Christ want to lead better life than they used to
before. However, they still recognize in themselves wild deeds. They are actions of inherited law
(soul). The worst is if people stay in this and consider it as a sacred life.
God comes again to them and shows that they need to be "circumcised". Actually, they need to
take the new step in their life although is painful. They have to throw each wrong manner from
their character, to deny it. Nevertheless, if we want to throw it out, we need first to recognize
that it is bad. Therefore, He starts to show our defective deeds. So now, they are sins, because
they are in light, and can be forgiven only in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ enters cleaned rooms of
our innermost being. Where He enters, it has God's Glory there and It may resurrect or give
growth to something. We are getting more new characteristics of our habit by this way. Or, we
may say that our spirit grows up, take more of our body in his control. By this way, we are
practically entering the working kingdom of God.
Israel again had to go through the natural obstruction, through the waters of the river. Jordan was
in a flood all during a harvest season. Moses used God's staff to make the way through the Red
Sea. Yet Joshua used something else. He used the Ark of the Covenant.
It was an earthly ark in which God's glory was placed. Therefore, Israelites consider it as God's
dwelling among them, so also God's throne on the earth. In reality, there was not any God but
earthly substances that became alive in God as was Aaron's staff or manna coming from heaven
and God's written Law. We may derive from this that the Ark represented the new being on our
earth. The first one was Jesus Christ and then Christians who become a new creation.
Aaron's staff as part of the Ark of the Covenant also shows this. It was dead but became alive so
that it brought forth branches and fruit. Thus our spirit should have some new branches that
bring forth fruit.
The Israelites went through the water by one way, but could not return. Thus is with entering the
working kingdom of God. Then, the second death will not inflict us. Israel took twelve stones
The same way, the Lord Jesus Christ leads a Christian into a new living 'territory'. After his
passing, the entering gate is closed. Now, he is a member of the kingdom of God and therefore,
only the new kind of deeds are worthy for him. Once those entering the Heaven will not have
any possibility to return to the kingdom of death.
Twelve stones is a picture for all Israel divided among twelve princes.
Put stones from sunlight into a riverbed under waters represent the old Israel which could die
and be buried under water. (Some people till today bury their dead under the water of a sea).
That is their grave.
However, they took twelve stones from the river as if they were new Israel that raised,
resurrected from the water. It pictures the baptism, the real baptism (Romans 6).
As they put stones from earthly air on the river bed and the water covers them forever so, our old
life should be dead and buried forever. Our inherited soul from Adam should be considered dead
forever because the waters of Jordan are running into the Dead See. They are like souls of this
earth running by their desires to a sea of Dead. Therefore, we are put in the earthly water in our baptism.
As they took stones from the river and put them on the dry ground into the Promised land so, we
are raised from "earthly waters" to new life in the promised kingdom of God. We are taken out
from the deathly water of a river, and escaping "a dead sea" and resurrected to live in the new
life style, to live on the ground in presence of Light. Our spirit locked after Adam's sin is alive
again and now he may grow. Hallelujah!
Jesus said to Nicodemus; "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is
born again." (John 3:3) If we are born again, we have to be baptized.
God did not need to put the stones into Jordan, nor to take some stones from the riverbed. He
gave this command in order for us to understand better the Biblical term of baptism. The
Israelites did it also for a remembrance. Therefore the baptism is also the sign for us that we
have left our old sinful soul, and grow into the kingdom of God.
Israel took the land, harvested fields that brought forth the corps. However now, this harvest is not just humans' job. People and God cooperated in getting new fruit from the earth. So, on the third part of the way, we are working with the Spirit of God to get some new fruit from our bodies.
The Israelites took the land from nations that were very sinful. They still lived with neighbors'
who were sinful nations. They sacrificed their firstborns, (in our age it is abortion); public sexual
disorder existed there, (today gays and lesbians have their rights etc.). They were thorns to God's
nation and their gods were snares among them (Joshua 23:13).
Today, our position is the same. We have to watch our steps and do not go the way of our
surrounding world or live in the company of its gods. We need to be separated from them.
Therefore, Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, no one who has left home or wife or brothers or
parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as
much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life."(Luke 18:29-30)
Let me repeat, we need to start the new life just like on the new territory. It has to be in God's
Sabbath because, the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and King defeated another kingdom and
brought the Sabbath for us. Our task is to cooperate with our Lord in planting new seeds into our
spiritual substance that it can grow and bear the new fruit in accordance with God's nature. It is
the time of the new creation on the earth.
They could see at him that he did not look like God. He did not live in his own identity (God)
but lived like Man.(Philippians 2:6).
Thus, he showed us that we should not use our own identify which we inherited from Adam but
to advance into spirit "inherited" from Christ Jesus.
Christ Jesus did miracles not by His own Godly power but being in human spirit and using the power of God the Holy Spirit. Therefore, if a miracle has to come, it should not have a source in soul's desire but in spirit. You see, how important is to be strong in spirit.
He spoke a word but this word had power to cleanse people. "Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you" (John 15:3). Similar, if we do our deeds in the new spirit, they are clean and do not need be covered by God's covering - justification. God see what we speak a do and that is why our words can convince sinners and to bring them to Christ Jesus.
The disciples as could breathe "new oxygen" from Him. It helped them in the new life. So, the new live could grow in them.
Our Lord stood on the firm land as in the Paradise. The evil could not get him until Christ Jesus
decided to offer himself for salvation (John 10:18). Also, the evil was close to him in the
temptation (Luke 4). Otherwise, he was not. It shows how we can live on this earth. He is the
example to be followed.
Every human comes in our world from a woman. The woman gives birth to the new being.
Developing of the human fetus runs in amniotic sac filed by liquor amnii (water). Hence Jesus said, everyone must be born from 'water'. 'Water' operates in the woman during her pregnancy as the guardant of the new flesh. When a child is born, it is flesh from flesh, it is the new flesh from the flesh of the woman.
Then the second birth is from the Spirit. Since the first birth is possibly only when the woman exists then another woman must exist to bear spirits. She should incubate 'fetus' of spirit to develop. If spirit is born then this woman must be in nature Spirit. If Spirit's homeland is the Heaven then she is heavenly woman giving birth to children for the Heaven.
The apostle John saw the woman giving the birth for the Heaven (Revelation 12:5). Let me to identify this woman giving the birth for the Heaven.
This woman must be connected to the Creator because she is still as creating. She introduces the new type of man. Jesus was the first one different from others. Although fleshly was the same as others, spiritually was different. Spirit operated in his body, he lived by spirit. His spirit was eternal and relating to God. Thus, he was partly eternal and partly mortal; partly earthly and partly Heavenly.
We know the Creator was God the Son. If Christ Jesus is also God then he must have also Godly Spirit, the Spirit of God. However, during his ministry he ought to be the man to redeem human beings. He called himself the Son of man, so man and therefore he was without his Godly Spirit. If he did miracles, it did the power of the Holy Spirit. He used the power coming from God the Holy Spirit. Then, the Spirit of God the Son existed somewhere.
When Christ Jesus stepped on the Throne in the Heaven, the Spirit of God was in him. (The Spirit of God had to be in him because no man can step on the God's Throne in Heaven.) His appearance is not that of Man anymore, but of a Being having seven horns and seven eyes. The Bible says that seven eyes are Seven Spirits of God. From it, Christ Jesus and Seven Spirits = God the Son.
Then the Bible says that these Seven Spirits are sent out into all the earth. (Revelation 5:6) Thus, they are coworkers of Christ Jesus, they are his assistants. In which field do they assist?
If I said that God the Holy Spirit assisted in miracles which Christ Jesus did on the earth, then Seven Spirits had to assist in something else. It should be this, which characterizes Christ Jesus. It is to get spirit alive in humans. Thus, Seven Spirits are in the process for people to be the newborn from the Spirit.
Certainly, new flesh could not develop in water if no act of conceiving of being happens. Thus, besides of the woman, the man must be also. Then a conceived being in the womb bears likeness of the man, likeness of the father.
Then, the similarity is in to be the newborn from Spirit. Because people saw Christ's nature at the first newborn from the spirit, they named them Christians. As Christ Jesus would be their spiritual father. Hence, the woman giving birth to the newborn for the Heaven shall be the Spirit connected to Christ Jesus.
In the midst of the Throne stood the Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
The Seven Spirits represent the woman giving birth to spirits. Then the second birth is to be born from the Spirit of God the Son.
The third state of developing a man is to be eternal being in spirit; while flesh remains mortal. It means in fact, a Christian living by the eternal spirit is the new creation.
The Bible speaks that the war was in Heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon.
But Dragon and his angels was not strong enough, and they lost their place in Heaven. Thus
although Dark Ages were, because absence of newborn Christians (the "woman giving birth" for
Heaven was outside our world - Revelation 12:6), Christianity made big progress. They got
heavenly citizenship (dwellings, houses, the city, the new Jerusalem). It means that the Church
got the legal position in the Heaven. "In my Father's house are many rooms. I am going there
to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2-3).
The Heaven announces this to the Church. "Then I heard a loud voice in Heaven say: 'Now
have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of
his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and
night, has been hurled down.'" Hallelujah! From now, Christianity may be victorious.
Christians should not hide themselves. The suffering Church -- that is, the Early Church -- is no
more. Next words confirm this reward for suffering: "They overcame him by the blood of the
Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink
from death." As Christ Jesus, after suffering (the crucifixion), went into Heaven (the Throne
Room) to take the place which first belonged to Satan, now, there are many dwelling places
available in the Heaven for believers. "Therefore rejoice, you Heavens and you who dwell in
them!".
The new period for the Church on the Earth started by swirling old waters. Historically, the presence of God's Word among people caused it. They printed the Bibles. (Erasmus published the first New Testament in Greek in the year 1516.) We name whole movement Reformation. Many countries became Protestants during this period.
Some people went further than the classical Reformation. They wanted to be the "new creation" on the Earth. But governments forced these people to leave their homelands, so they still persecuted them in Europe.
Religious groups fleeing persecution founded new colonies. (Revelation 12:13-18) The Biblical prophecy for this period is: "When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled to the Earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child." The "woman's offspring" has taken their places in the Heaven, and therefore the fallen angels tried to take revenge on every "new born child". But the "woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach." When people of the old world, in Europe, think about going to America or Australia, they think about going there by (in) airplanes. Nineteen centuries ago, if a person saw a vision like this, they might say that they were able "to fly by a great eagle with two wings." If they were the newborns from the "woman", then the "woman" flew by a great eagle with two wings.
Christians flew to any place on the Earth, where they may prosper. Yet the Apostle John does not say anything about the "woman" being nourished by God as before. Thus, her own job -- to resurrect the spirits of believers -- gives her the sense to live in herself. The New World allowed her to do her job.
The powerful colony was in America. I understand that God had chosen this new land, has separated from rest of that world, to be the bastion for settling His power on the earth. Still today in America, the United States have stood as the world's leading country for religious freedom. There is still impossible to persecute evangelical Christians.
In connection to the water, John writes "Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. But the Earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the Dragon had spewed out of his mouth." This means that the water caused separation from the power of popes. Oceans swallowed blasphemies addressed to Jesus Christ's followers. A dangerous and long way silenced words of contempt coming from papal seat.
The evil was enraged, because impossibility to reach them, and went "to make war against the rest of her offspring -- those who obey God's commandment and hold to the testimony of Jesus." The rest of her offspring were those newborn in spirit who had stayed in Europe. They were mostly killed. But the killed ones were also many from Reformation, that is those who obeyed God's commandments. When the Catholics launched the Counter-Reformation, lives those, who read the Bible or own It, were in great misfortune.
Like a child first stays with his parents and rather hides himself from the strong in the world till adultness, thus was for the Church in the past. But now, Christians are visible, they are at home in many countries. They are even in governments of free countries and take deal in constituting laws for territories on which, they build church buildings.
If somebody is changing his citizenship, he used to move onto new land. There is necessary to change his name or at least they add a name of that land, country or city to his first and last name. The same should be for newcomers into God's kingdom.
Each kingdom has its king. The obligation of any king is to take care for all of his kingdom. He
has his servants doing his will and public people, who work for themselves and for him. They
work and pay taxes. However, someone, who is not able to do a hard job (child, sick man,
newcomers etc.), must live from king's supplies. They are receiving welfare and someone leads
them. The same is with newcomers to a new country. If a government wants them, they are
supplied. They receive money without any job, receive help with housing, furnishing, studying,
etc.
Thus, in coming to God's kingdom, we first need to be supplied, guided how to live there. God
supplies us with His bread. We are receiving the manna.
Many people coming to the Lord Jesus Christ are not immediately ready to be useful in the new
kingdom on the earth. They are only like sheep without knowing way or sense. Their shepherd -
the King is mostly responsible for keeping them on the new land.
Some men are coming into a stage where they are able to be productive in the kingdom;
however, sometimes they need a special food or training. This applies also in the kingdom of
God on the earth. The newcomers there get special supplies, food and thus, the special manna
or the hidden manna.
As they are adapted on a special position, God usually gives them some gifts (tools), which they
may use in their work for own families, relatives; like the "Samaritan" did (Luke 10:25-37). It is
good for us and for God's kingdom.
Here the parable of lost coins fits. There were ten coins and the one was lost. Coins have some value. The new creation prepared to work for God has the value. We come from a number one hundred (sheep) to ten coins (Luke 15). That means, just one tenth of Christians has a value for God during life in flesh. The tenth of Christian has become a new creation on the earth.
They work for our world, and God takes some benefit as our governments do. We pay taxes for
them. Similarly, we work for ourselves and our world knows God through us.
If someone works for God and even uses God's gifts, then his name should be written in the
book of God's deeds. Therefore, they are recorded in the Heaven. Other languages might
pronounce differently our names. So, if our names are in the Heaven, they should sound
differently. That is at least, we will have new names.
We give a name for him, whom we will need to call often. A name is primary known to a giver and then to its receiver. Thus, a newcomer working in the kingdom of God has to have the name by which the Lord makes contact to him, He calls him. Therefore, God will give him "a new name known only to him who receives it".
If our stone heart has to be changed into spirit (Ezekiel 11:19) then, we are receiving white
"substance" from God. God's word says: "I will give him a white stone." This stone and name
written on it have to be given in our heart because Aaron bore the names of the twelve tribes,
engraved in twelve precious stones, on his breast wearing (Exodus 28:9).
This name is the name of the new member, the name of one from God's people living by eternal
spirit.
Aaron also bore two stones Urim and Thummim on his heart (chest) (Exodus 28:30). They were for recognizing what is the God's and what is not the God's. Thus, newborn beings have to distinguish between the holy and the common (Ezekiel 22:26). We can also recognize what is done by soul and what by spirit.
The assumption of the reward for this part of the way is, we accept the new ID. Angels will
easily recognize this ID, "white stones with a new name written on it," when they will collect us
at the Rapture.
God is Spirit and wants the newcomers to do work by their newborn and eternal spirit. Heavenly work done by a soul is detestable for Him, unclean, because a soul takes nourishment from "a tree" represented by Satan. The soul takes care for flesh that lives approximately eighty years, thus, the soul cares for timely things.
Some soul acts could be partly accepted before Jesus Christ. However, with coming the Messiah,
the kingdom of God has come on the earth. Therefore, Jesus said: "law and prophet to John the
Baptism, but now the kingdom of God is preaching" (Luke 16:16).
If God's kingdom is also on the earth then, its citizens must be also on the earth. That means,
Christ's life must be in them.
The apostle John says: "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does
not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have
heard is coming and even now is already in the world" (John 4:2-3).
Satan and all his followers knew very well that Christ had come in the flesh into this world. That
is why, he wanted to kill him at his birth (killing babies in Bethlehem - Matthew 2:16). Demons
cried when Jesus forced them out from humans' bodies: "You are the Son of God!" (Mark 3:11).
After the ascension into the Heaven, Jesus Christ should lives in the bodies his followers
because we are as his descendants. The apostle Paul said, it what I am living in this body, it is
not me, but Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:20).
Then, the apostle John's words go to recognizing who is the Christ's and who is not. Hence, every denomination and every person being against eternal spirit in human flesh are not lead by the Spirit of God. And every man, who teaches that Christians may not have eternal spirit in their mortal bodies, is the seed of antichrist'.
Satan has a fear when he sees a new creation of the kingdom of God on this earth. So, every demon does too. When some people tried to conquer demons, they said them, "We knew Jesus and we knew Paul, but who are you" (Acts 19:15-16). Because they wanted to do God's job by their old soul, therefore demons could conquer them.
False shepherds substitute the new creation by destroying human soul at once. They come by
saying: "Are you a 'newborn' Christian?" Deceivers ask this question almost in the same way and
by the same tactic as Satan used in the Eden.
A victim may reply: "I do not know maybe I am not newborn.". "If you do not know, it means,
you are not." Satan's tool continues so on . . . And the victim is in his net.
They teach. "We must strip that old soul. Come and confess all your sins from birth!" It may be
done in such an extreme that, if that soul is strong, they need whole night or many nights. When
the victim lost control over himself, is empty; he does not have any identity, any secrets and this
point they call the new birth. Because victims are empty like animals are, animals' spirits fill
them usually. That is why is said "to sin by eating food to Idols." (Some of them even give
sounds like animals, then it is considered as glossolalia.)
Satan's tactics now are initiating us to be good Christians nourished by the tree of knowledge good and evil.
I lived in the new city at that time. When I needed to go anywhere, I asked for the advice at an
intersection. However, some things wrong happened to use this method. The good advice left
and I began to hear only false answers. This disappointed me. I began to worry about my
salvation and thought that I fell in Satan's hands.
Because God's Word is so sharp as a double - edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), I came in my house
and took the live Word, took the Bible and opened it. God gave me Words: "So, my brothers,
you also died to the law through the body of Christ that you might belong to another, to him
who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. For when we were
controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passion aroused by the law were at work in our
bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have
been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old
way of the written code" (Romans 7:4-6).
I did not understand it fully for my problem. Still, these words and others similar to it were
coming for a few days. Then, 'praise to our God', the light came into my mind and a hard battle
gone. I came to resolution that Spiritual advices could be also commands, if we are waiting on
them. I was on the way which was before Jesus Christ, before the kingdom of God has entered
our world. I was receiving spiritual commands from outside my body (prophets).
Jesus Christ took His disciples on the mountain (Luke 9:28-36). He was transfigured there. Elijah and Moses appeared before them, they spoke with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus: "'Rabbi it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah'. Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: 'This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!'" (Mark 9:2-8)
Moses represents God's written Word because it came through him. He wrote God's rules for our life. Human beings should read them and to live according to them. Moses died and God buried him on the earth (Deuteronomy 34:5-6). That means, he was introducing God law by the earthly tools (writing tools).
Elijah represents God's spoken Word by Spirit. That Spirit was on prophets. They took him
directly to the Heaven (2 Kings 2:11). That means he was using the "Heavenly tool" - Spirit of
God.
John the Baptist, like the greatest among prophets, was preaching in the power of Elijah.
Prophets were people to whom God opened their mind to listen His Words for actual time and an
actual situation or for the future.
Jesus Christ has brought the kingdom of God on the earth, God's principles directly into bodies of people. He has established the new creation on the earth - heavenly beings in earth's bodies.
Peter wanted to be equal to everyone. He wanted to build shelters for Moses and for Elijah and for Jesus. That means he wanted to give an equal portion for all three ways. This should not surprise us because Christians are doing this quite often.
However, it does not have to be so because, God the Father came at that point to give the right
direction. His answer for us is to go by the way of the new creation.
"This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him"!
By this He exalted "the new creation". That means Moses and Elijah's task was to bring Christ
up. Therefore, God's written words through our mind have to lead us to the kingdom of God and
God's spoken words through His Spirit have to lead us to the kingdom of God.
From that point, I was not looking for some spiritual commands anymore, but looking for a demonstration of the new life in my body. I wanted to find Jesus Christ in my body because He "is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear" (Mark 1:7). Because, the smallest one in the Heavenly Kingdom is greater than the greatest prophets, I preferred to believe that the Lord lives in me.
Later I came into the situation, where something was very wrong with me. I thought about
everything what I did in the previous time and looked for a big sin such as rebellion. However, I
could not find it. Where was my spiritual problem? The problem was with my habits. I found
myself doing wrong, not giving good testimonies as a Christian has to do. I started to hate my
character. I would get angry with a person, who did me wrong. I had come to the point where I
hated myself for not getting any victory in my innermost being because, I knew that it was not in
accordance with God's Word. I had asked my God for His help in changing my behavior. I asked
Him to live in me but my Lord Jesus Christ did nothing only send His Word about a death of old
man and life of new man. OK, but I was living in the faith that I was death and lived a new life -
baptism. He continued to show me His death and raising to life. Then, I finally came to resolving
my problem.
I asked my God to remove this part of my character because, I hated it and did not want to
posses it anymore. I decided for a death to this part of my soul. I acknowledged that since such a
part of my inherited character lives, it cannot be improved. Then, it happened. Hallelujah!
I found myself in the same situation, but nothing was moving in my soul, in my inside. It died
and therefore, it could not occupy any part of my body. It was the miracle, and I was very happy
that I found something more. My behavior now was different from before that one. I found the
new feature of my character, the new life in my body. It was just created in my body, and this
could grow and to produce "oxygen".
Later, few times I found myself in the same situation on the different parts of my character. I got
very soon this experience: when it had occurred, I asked my Lord not to improve or to make new
one for this part of my habit but: "please, make me this part of my old soul more detestable in
order to be easy for me to renounce this" (to bury into ground). As, I have found that I hate it for
sure, I could from the deep of my heart say (not only by mouth): "I hate it and I do not want to
have anymore" (Luke 14:26). I put it on "the cross." People's souls put Jesus Christ on the cross
and now I am taking revenge for Him against my inherited soul. I am putting her on the cross as
God's law says: eyes for eyes and soul for soul.
Here you see, to be the new creation is the process and not one night experience. It is
transformation step by step.
You have received the salvation for eternal life in the Heaven and therefore, please give yourself
to God for growing a new spirit in you. God needs you as His being on the earth.
Do like Paul wrote: "just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,
rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing
with thankfulness" (Colossians 2:6-7).
Rejoice in God and in your new position on the earth! Await the Rapture of the Church instead
to be someone (in Word or Spirit)! Praise God for His job on your complicated soul!
