THOUGHTS IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR-B
The Meaning of Christ's 2nd Coming
Since you have a hunger for perfect truth, learn WHAT GOD MEANT by speaking through Jesus of His second coming, John 7:16-18, 12:49. First understand that Jesus was born as a prophetic parable that represented two things:
(1) He represented God in the same way Moses "became a God unto Pharaoh", Psalm 45:6-8, (John 14:28, 16:33, 19:39-40), Exodus 7:1; Ecclesiastes 4:2-3. Because of Psalm 82:6-8 God can pick anyone He pleases and give him Crown Authority (make him a god) by speaking to the people through him. Moses and Jesus were not really "God", but they both acted out His glory in prophetic role-playing, John 6:43, 10:35-36. Where we exalt the supremacy of the Words of Jesus our Solid Rock-Foundation and Shepherd above words of "sinking sand", it will be lined with BLOOD.
(2) Jesus also represented God's Great Body of sons and daughters in a role of prophetic revelation to teach men the Glory of our birthright, Matthew 23:9; John 15:1-5, 17:22-23. "On Christ the solid Rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand", Matthew 7:24-27. Always keep Jesus' words in first place and most supreme and authoritative above all others, John 3:31-35, 15:22-24. Your greater joy and peace through understanding is determined on how well you are able to do this as we go along. Therefore, the witness of the Holy Ghost will be found in scriptures where he supports Christ through Paul that the Body of Jesus represented collectively the whole human race throughout all times, I Corinthians 12:12-27; II Corinthians 5:14; Ephesians 5:23,29-30; Hebrews 2:6-7,11,14-15. In explaining to you the truth of the second coming ofChrist, we will unveil it by use of two roles Jesus represented in prophetic revelations.
Christ's second coming is a "two-edge" statement, Hebrews 4:12 with more than one meaning.
A. Christ comes to teach your mind invisibly from above, where he comes to teach us of life and joy more abundantly. Those chosen to be educated in this life receive a visitation from Christ where he first begins to knock on the doors of the conscience as a teacher with words of truth. In this regard he comes like a thief in the night to take our hearts from the control of demons while the devils at first are unaware, Luke 11:20-23, 12:34-40; I Thessalonians 5:2; Revelation 3:20, 16:15. Jesus reveals that his mission in this sense is to teach us with spiritual food! John 14:16,21,23. He does not come to teach alone, but he also comes "with the clouds of heaven" (angels) who are "true eyes" of the Body Perfect in their proper place up in the HEAD, Revelation 1:7 (Zechariah 12:10; Hebrews 12:22-24). "Looking upon whom we have pierced" also means to watch the brethren on earth from heaven above, where the Body of Christ is all mankind and the "just spirits of men made perfect" serve as angelic guardians and teachers from heaven, Psalm 145:3-14. Therefore, the second coming of Christ is also the coming of the members of THE BODY PERFECT or "the just spirits of men made perfect" which is the HEAVENLY HOST. To understanding the complexity and multiple meanings of Revelation 1:7, let us define key parabolic words to see their spiritual meaning.
1. "Clouds" -this parable means the "watching" angels who guard us and teach us, Daniel 4:13,17; Hebrews 12:1. Observe wisely that it was the Watchers (eyes of God) who TAUGHT Nebuchadnezzar a lesson he never forgot.
2. "Eye"- Every member of the body of mankind is not an "eye", I Corinthians 12:12-18, but the prophets are "eyes" down in the earth, Ezekiel 3:17. God's earthy "eyes see Him" only when he "manifests" Himself to them, Matthew 11:27; John 14:21,23. Every man down here cannot be an earthy "eye" in the earthly body of Christ, I Corinthians 12:28. The "true eyes" of the BODY PERFECT are the only ones who can see Christ in every respect because they can behold Him face -to -face, John 12:32, 17:24, 18:30; Hebrews 12:22-24. These become "watchers" (Song of Solomon 5:7) and "eyes" of God capable of removing the veil of ignorance and strengthening those that fear Him, II Chronicles 16:9; Proverbs 15:3.
Now you can see how he comes with "clouds" as a thief (against demons Ephesians 6:12) in the night and only the "eyes" see him as he teaches. If a man repents of his errors, then the Heavenly Hosts shout for joy, Luke 15:4-7. The church failed to recognize Christ's coming in this manner. Read Song of Solomon 2:8-13, 5:2-6. Organized churches are too sleepy to move because of church doctrines and special "sinking sand" that they honor too much. Christ withdraws when the churches show love of men first and honor of Christ second, Matthew 15:8-9. Christ can come yet in another way to the church but in the same sense we are discussing. Read John 13:20 and Matthew 25:37-39. Churches fail to recognize Christ in the man he sends because that man is not from their denomination, Luke 9:49-50. Now you know Christ can come as a thief with the Heavenly Host or through his special minister chosen as an earthly eye for the earthly Body. But the coming of Christ is not limited to a first and second time. Read Luke 13:69; James 5:7-11. So, he can come many times before be is ready to purge (remove men from their bodies) the branches, John 12:24, 15:1-5.
B. This brings us to a "most brilliant" meaning of the coming of Christ with "clouds". It is when God's BODY PERFECT meets the portion of God's EARTHLY BODY of Christ. No earthy clay bodies (houses) will be raised up, I Corinthians 15:44,50; II Corinthians 5:1-8. Only the body of people rises as a group of spirits, Ecclesiastes 12:7; John 4:23-24; Hebrews 12:22-24), drawn to the heavens each day as resurrected spirits to be made perfect. The thousands that are raised to heaven (die) meet the angels of the Heavenly Host who then teach them and then present them to the Father as a "church" without spot or wrinkle, Isaiah 2:2, 25:6-8, 27:13, 60:1-7,9-11. This is the reverse of what the churches teach. Here Christ's earthy Body meets (comes up) the PERFECT BODY parabolized as EYES and CLOUDS. Because of demonic "mental-picture concepts" to words injected into church doctrines today, they have erred on the coming of Christ by a natural- minded application of spiritual phenomena, I Corinthians 2:9-16, (Ezekiel 4:12-13, 8:3-12, where the temple is man and the walls are "picture" screens in man's mind). Once the spiritual Body is raised to heaven, it cannot return physically to "spiritual Egypt" (the earth,) Deuteronomy 17:16; Luke 16:22-26,31; John 5:46-47; Revelation 11:8. The churchy concept of "second coming" in the end is an error. Those who died are in heaven. Every man dying has his special last day then! When earth's last day arrives, the EARTHLY BODY will come up, but the HEAVENLY BODY cannot go down, Psalm 19:1-5, 126; Isaiah 60:19-20; Matthew 13:30,37-43; John 4:35-36; Revelation 14:15. NEVER MAKE THE BLOOD OF GOD (Jesus' direct WORDS) SECONDARY TO ANY WRITER'S "PARTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND PROPHECY". Let the 5th Seal henceforth be "open" to YOUR understanding, Luke 20:37-38; Revelation 5:1-5.
"BODY OF CHRIST"
1. God and Christ's BODY PERFECT, the "just spirits of men made perfect", Hebrews 12:22-24. These Heavenly Host members constitute the "RIGHT HAND" of God, Heaven itself, Isaiah 48:13. Here angelic teachers ("christs") and "guardians" have the responsibility of both teaching and protecting men on earth as they battle devils in our minds, Psalm 16:6,10-11, 91:11-12, 102:18-22, 145:3-20; Isaiah 25:6-8, 30:20-21, 49:2, 50:4-5, 54:11-14.
2. "BODY MEMBERS", "REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH AS THE LEVITICAL "DAILY SACRIFICE" are "raised daily" as a church to be "made perfect", Isaiah 6:11-12, 26:19, 27:12-13, 40:30-31, 60:1-2,8-11; Luke 17:34-37, (16:22-26, 11:24,8:35), 20:37,38, 15:20-24, Psalm 90:10; Ecclesiastes 3:21, 4:1-2, 12:7; Matthew 13:37-43; Revelation 5:9-10, 7:9-15.
3. ALL MEN ARE MEMBERS OF JESUS' PARABOLIC "BODY", THE "TRUE VINE" which includes both green branches (so-called righteous men) and dead and dry branches ("prodigal sons, back sliders, and children of disobedience"), Isaiah 45:9-12, 64:8; I Corinthians 6:19, 12:12-27; II Corinthians 5:14,18-19; Ephesians 5:30; Hebrews 2:6-7,11,14-15, III Hermas IX:161-163. The earth is the place of the "LEFTHAND", Isaiah 1:7-9, 24:5-6, I Hermas, Vision III:13-19. Our earth is the place of dark ignorance and the prison chamber for the kingdom of devils, Psalm 23:4; Isaiah 9:1-2; Ephesians 6:12. The powers of darkness hold on to and dwell inside the openings of men's bodies, Matthew 8:28-32, 12:43-45.
