HE THAT HANGS ON A TREE
HEADLINE: Galatians 3:[13] Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree, ... Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; [2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; [3] To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified ....The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God, Psalm 92:12-13. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations, Isaiah 61:11. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass as willows by the water courses, Isaiah 44:3-4.
PROLOGUE: Matthew 12:[43] When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. [44] Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. [45] Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Jude: [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; [13] Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. [16] These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. Ephesians 6:[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.[13]Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
In the last letter, "He Looked for Judgment", November 22, 1993, there was presented in it a picture which first appeared in USA TODAY in the Tuesday, October 8, 1991 issue in section D, page 1. The original article where it appeared is called "Giving stars the brush-up" by Karen Thomas, a feature writer for USA TODAY. Karen does not know it, but the Great ChessMaster can and does use all His children as "pieces" on the world chessboard for His purposes. The artist, Mark Kostabi, was being used to present the reality of the spirit world as it has been fixed by the Creator. In the last letter we used the analogy of the holy temple Moses made which carried a "badgerskin veil" over it to depict the reality of man's condition in Satan's prison. In that letter Jesus continued his triumph, "having spoiled principalities and powers (of darkness), he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it", Colossians 2:15. The "man of sin" does not appreciate being revealed because those who are awake and aware of his presence will refuse to trust their thoughts and their body "feelings" which devils can and do manipulate. This makes demonic warfare against awakened men more difficult to achieve. But God promised to reveal him in the END and He has done so in the "GOOD NEWS".
In this letter we are looking at still other analogies God uses as a multiple witness of His truth. Because God is aware of the enemy's skill to instill doubt, He always uses several analogies to tell the same story. Today from our HEADLINE and PROLOGUE we see that MEN are parabolized as "trees of righteousness" planted in God's earthly garden. And devils who consider man's body their personal "house" and property are a "badgerskin veil" coiled among the tree branches "having men's persons in admiration because of advantage". Now we are the real Garden of Eden. Each man is a tree in it. Serpents are in the branches of every tree, and each man is the Adam of his own soul! "[2] The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men [the TRUE VINE], to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. [3] They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one," Psalm 14:2-3. Concerning Jesus' continuing work from above, it is written of him in Song of Solomon 6:[11] "I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded". What the Father and Jesus found when they checked on the earthly garden is worse than a disaster. Devils have power to speak through men and this power is not limited to the snake in Adam's stage-scene. Revelation 13:[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. [6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. [7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Man's problem is that we trust our own thoughts while failing to realize that we are in a daily mental "wrestle" ("war") and a nonstop body siege. We also trust the words of our visible fellow man too much and fail to see him as a potential "microphone" for the devils using him as a "proxy tree of knowledge of good and evil". Because of these Garden of Eden conditions, the spirit has warned us many times in the scriptures to avoid "trusting man". I will give you just one of those texts: Psalm 31:[19] Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! [20] Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
We said what God found was worse than a disaster. Jesus came down personally two-days ago to visit His VINE. Here is what happened to him: Matthew 21:[33] Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: [34] And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. [35] And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. [36] Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. [37] But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. [38] But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. [39] And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. [40] When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? In this third analogy revealing the human condition in Satan's prison and bottomless pit, the sick and captive VINE with its dead and fruitless branches does not have a problem with the Husbandman, the Supreme JUDGE. It is those short, midget invisible vinedressers, demonic thieves, who must suffer the intense wrath of the JUDGE. They slew JUDGE-Jesus, the SON in this analogy sending him back upstairs to the Inner COURT bruised and wounded. The JUDGE has not forgotten this! The Book of the Revelation was written as a result of Jesus' report to the Supreme JUDGE.
Today "John" is here serving as a Court "recorder" for the Supreme JUDGE. From The Fruit of the Earth, "GOOD NEWS", volume III, here is one of the latest evaluations from the Heavenly Court: "I had a vision last night. In it I saw the world in darkness. Around it was entwined the running stem of a stringbean which had only one leaf and one bean. To the right was an equal (=) sign followed by the word, "DRINK". I was asked or told to interpret the symbolism and fill in the statement. I have been vexed because of the power God gave devils over humanity. Devils have caused so much backwardness that men are "dead to God". They influence and control human will and speech to such an extent that we literally exist in a real Sodom and Egypt. The fruit of the Spirit is greatly diminished down here so that men are starving in a spiritual death. I hate devils, their powers, their works and "use" of men in them. "Pharaoh Won't Let Go"! So Sodom and Egypt, and spiritual Babylon must "DRINK the wine of the wrath of God." Joel recorded the condition of the Garden trees in our day, the time of the END, "Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and the barley; for the harvest of the field is perished (field = world, Matthew 13:38). The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men," Joel 1:11-12. You may think your church and your religion and your preacher or your doctrine is "great stuff", but the spirit does not think so. This is how Heaven sees things: Joel 1:[4] That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten. [5] Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. [6] For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion (Lucifer, the "roaring lion"). [7] He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white." All this occurs because serpents are "hanging in the trees" and our generation of blind Adams keep eating the fruit from the "other" tree and drinking wine from that "other" vine, Revelation 17:1-6, 18:1-3.
Summing up the witness of the Court and the Spirit concerning man's condition, we have presented three different analogies which teach the same thing: (1) men are holy "temples" of God carrying "badgerskin veils" upon them, (2) men are "trees of righteousness" in God's earthly garden, but serpents are lodged in the branches, and (3) men are God's VINE, but that "vine of Sodom" competes against it and invisible, midget "husbandmen" have slain the "heir" and have stolen the fields causing very little fruit production. (Now you might think you and your church and other churches have great fruit production by your human evaluation and human standards. But the "GOOD NEWS" is not about promotion of human thinking. $ Here you will get the Spirit evaluation of the Heavenly Court). The fruit of the earth has failed and what "the saints" are offering God in their services are like the offering of Cain ("not my brother's keeper" type doctrines. Damner, "Yes"! But "keeper", No!! II Corinthians 3:6-12). Because of this God sent Jesus to be "the keeper" of ALL MEN and the lover of all men's SOULS!! Psalm 121:5; Wisdom 11:23-26. So Gabriel was sent by the Court to present this evaluation even though it steps on many "Christian" toes. The following excerpt comes from "Seeing From the Right Eye, "GOOD NEWS", August 28, 1993:
This is the END TIME. The Dragon was given power by God Himself to possess mankind and "the church" until "judgment was given to the saints and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom". The following is true, scriptures that cannot be broken because we "do not like it":
1. Daniel 7:[21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [22] Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
2. Daniel 8:[8] Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. [9] And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. [10] And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host (where we were sent down on a "sheet", Acts 10:9-16,28) and of the stars (where we are God's stars, Genesis, 22:17,18) to the ground, and stamped upon them. [11] Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host (Jesus), and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary ( "your body") was cast down. [12] And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered. [13] Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? [14] And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
3. Revelation 13:[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. [6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. [7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
4. Matthew 24:1 "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. [2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down". The "temple" in this analogy is "the church" and "your body", and the individual stones thrown down are "lively stones", again YOU, I Corinthians 6:19; I Peter 2:5
5. Revelation 13:[11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. This is the rise of false "human hireling" ministers "called" by Lucifer!
6. Jude [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. [12] These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; [13] Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. [16] These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
7. II Corinthians 11:[13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. [14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
These seven texts cannot be broken by wishful thinking or by arrogance on the part of deceived men. Men like to flatter themselves and to receive flattery that they are doing great things for God and the gospel. Yes! ... It would be lovely if all churches on earth could be perfect without spot or wrinkle. But such is not the case nor part of the GIVEN PLAN "set and fixed" by your "Scientist -Teacher" and Father God. The PLAN is to GIVE ALL MEN over to "vanity" or demonic captivity and control including ALL CHURCHES and then to save all men out of it to glorify His GRACE and MERCY! Romans 11:30-36. Man's problem is that brazen, flying, fiery serpents are coiled on every human "stick" and branch. You have no other recourse but to accept the "Highest" thinking as opposed to your personal thinking and human thoughts. Here is the challenge for any flesh and blood man seeking to draw the attention of men to himself and seeking his personal glory as an oracle of God: Isaiah 2:[10] Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. [11] The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. [12] For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: [13] And upon all the cedars of Lebanon (men), that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan (men), [14] And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, [15] And upon every hightower, and upon every fenced wall, [16] And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. [17] And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. [18] And the idols ("images" [offsprings] of Lucifer and Babylon, Revelation 13:14-15) he shall utterly abolish. [19] And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Isaiah 42:[8] I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images (Satan's children IN the GRAVE).
Cursed Is Every One Hanging on a Tree
Each and every man on earth's surface is a "tree" planted in the JUDGE'S earthly "garden". If it is a babe in a womb, then it is a sapling on the path to implant. No matter what devils have men doing in their earthly roles, men are "trees", and trees are not the enemy even though some human "hirelings" in churches teach differently presenting "Cain" (not my brother's keeper) type doctrines. God, the Archangels, the Heavenly Hosts, and your faithful Recorder of the "GOOD NEWS" are "not wrestling flesh and blood" men! The enemy of God and mankind throughout every generation of human history has been and still is Lucifer, his firstborn who fell from heaven, and all the devils (their "images") born on earth to Babylon (who also fell from heaven) who also is his wife in this prison-hole called the earth. Observe: Revelation 12:[7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, [8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [10] And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. [11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. [12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. This truth and spiritual fact cannot change because "Preacher Joe" and some of the Bible writers who "knew in part, understood in part, and prophesied in part" might have written a scriptural error that some men of flesh whom they call "sinners" are enemies of God. Human beings are not the enemy! They are the victims, God's LOT to be rescued by the Father (Abraham)! We still are not wrestling human flesh and blood! But devils are wrestling (warring against) flesh and blood men to control them!! Here in this END time we evaluate what every builder has built on the Christ-Foundation including the words of the Bible writers according to the amount of light given to them in their generations. The words of "whoever" and whatever words found in the balance that are "short of the glory" will be rejected no matter who's name is associated with them. This includes all Bible writers. In this Court there is no respect of persons. YOU have respect of persons as do most men. That is why some of you are afraid to acknowledge some components of the "GOOD NEWS" even though you personally believe it! Oh Nicodemus! what have you wrought?! I know that former person is upstairs checking out these words or even helping me write this letter. No former man up there can acknowledge his earthly role. He can only identify with his new self and new name. I have access to all of them and they have access to my head. Because God speaks here, you will continue to be amazed at His WORDS: Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. [10] For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: [11] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. [12] For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. [13] Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. So you see former trees down here do get transplanted up there to become members of the Heavenly Hosts. So basically all we are doing is teaching various analogies to show you how your Father has been actually "raising a FAMILY" as we teach FAMILY REUNION!! Let us not go too far from the subject of this section. Devils have a major problem, because "cursed is every one (namely demons) who hangs from a tree" even if it is to avoid falling through "the (bottomless) pit"!
He that touches you or any man, touches the "apple of God's eye": Zechariah 2:[8] For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the (demonic) nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. [9] For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants (former human slaves who now comprise the Heavenly Hosts): and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. Anyone who has experienced a poke in the eye has an idea of how God feels about demons hanging on us. It is a terrible feeling requiring a terrible punishment as a remedy. It is so horrible that God cursed every one that hangs in a tree! It is because this tactic was used by the real Serpent, Satan, in the Garden of Eden. Part of that curse is the pit, and part of that curse is terminal extermination via the lake of fire. Devils cannot escape this punishment because they cannot escape their circular fall through the solar system. Luke 17:[26] And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. [31] In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. [32] Remember Lot's wife. [33] Whosoever shall seek to save his life (demons) shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life (mankind) shall preserve it. [34] I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one (the human) shall be taken, and the other (his demons) shall be left. [35] Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [36] Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [37] And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles (Michael's reaping angels) be gathered together. Babylon, Satan's wife, will also be burned to nothing! Revelation 18:[16] .... Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! [17] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, [18] And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning saying, What city is like unto this great city! [19] And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. [20] Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. [21] And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. [22] And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; [23] And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. [24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. In this analogy mankind forms the human or "red sea", Revelation 17:15. Men's "bodies" are the parabolic "ships" and the "sailors and merchants" are the devils riding in and on them and possessing those "bodies". You need Spirit keys to uncloak God's spirit analogies!!
CONCLUSION
We have presented three analogies to "reveal the mystery of iniquity" and "that man of sin" mentioned by Paul in II Thessalonians 2:3-8. These "fell away" from heaven, and they do "fall away" ... back into their pit-fall when the bodies of men and animals die. The complete picture was not given to Paul in his day. He had part of it. USA TODAY had the real "picture"! But we have ALL of it today in the END in the "GOOD NEWS". You might not like it and I definitely do not like it ... BUT .... devils do hang on to our bodies to avoid falling. This situation was parabolized in the construction of Moses' tabernacle. God had him drape a "badgerskin veil" over it even though the tent was "holiness to the Lord", and the badger is a fierce "unclean" animal according to the Levitical priestly code. That was done because of man's status in this hell-hole. Demons grab us and get a strong hold to avoid the pit. We carry them on us from the cradle to the grave when they experience what Paul called a "great falling away". What Paul's mind pictured two-days ago "naturally" as the meaning of "falling away" and what the spirit meant are two different things. Here in the END all truth is being explained in the "GOOD NEWS". In this letter two additional analogies are presented to form a three-fold cord of truth that cannot be broken although I agree that the message is "bitter herbs", Ecclesiastes 4:[12] And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Exodus 12:[8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. [9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. [10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. [11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover. [12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. This last text shows that most of your brothers and sisters do not learn of the kingdom of darkness until they PASS OVER in death. Knowledge of what they went through in this life at the hands of devils constitutes "eating bitter herbs". At that time God actually shows them demons as they are ... some falling and most holding on to men and animals. Isaiah 14:[16] They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this "the man" that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; [17] That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? [18] All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. [19] But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. [20] Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. [21] Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. (Devils cannot dwell on earth's surface as men do). [22] For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. Ezekiel 28:[8] They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. ("Falling away" occurs among men of that human (red) sea when the bodies of men and animals die). [9] Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man (that infamous "man of sin"), and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee ( or the hand of God). [10] Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. [11] Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, [12] Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus (where Lucifer was controlling that man and these words are directed to him), and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. [13] Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. [14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth (Lucifer is now a "badgerskin veil"); and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. [15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. [16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub ("badgerskin veil"), from the midst of the stones of fire (now mankind, God's "lively stones" fired up and filled with the WORD). [17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. [18] Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries (the bodies of possessed men) by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. [19] All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
You readers of the "GOOD NEWS" are getting your bitter herbs now, because as some of you know it is almost time for earth's last generation of humanity to PASS OVER! The other two parabolic analogies revealing man's test conditions on earth are (1) men are trees of righteousness stripped bare and eaten up by demonic cankerworms, palmerworms, and locusts as Joel saw them, and (2) all men are God's VINE captured by invisible, midget vinedressers who transplanted the vine of Sodom to help choke the VINE and slew the "heir" to the fields" after he came and checked on them. These analogies for you readers of the "GOOD NEWS" is your course for this portion of God's "wedding supper". All things are not bitter. God has a method to this madness. And man's earthly experiences in all generations have been more than "mad". But joy is our eventual spiritual heritage.
I thank and praise God for YOU and all men. It is an honor to have ALL of us as ONE, true spirit brothers and sisters and true FAMILY members. Remember, the spirit is superior and takes precedent over the flesh at ALL TIMES! I am your brother, closer to you than your own human brother born to your human mother!! MY LOVE to ALL of you! Praise God!!
P.S. --- For those of you who did not receive or read our last letter we are including the
drawing which depicts the powers of darkness
as they are among men once again. Now consider what Jesus endured having to watch this mess and battle the devils in and on his human brethren who had absolutely no inkling of their true spiritual circumstances. Jesus could not relate these things to the weak and frightened men of his generation. They were terrified of devils and the disciples showed that terror when they "had a fit" when Jesus came to them walking on the water. They thought he was an evil spirit, but "devils have no flesh and bones as you see I have" Jesus said to calm and assure them ! Jesus was limited in what God allowed him to reveal about devils in "hell". Although he obviously talked to devils in and on the people, and the devils on those he freed from overt "possession" answered him through the mouths of those he healed, the average hearer in his audience had no idea that Jesus' two-edge words were directed toward two kingdoms in the same "place", Mark 9:1. (Please notice that all men have applied to mankind certain "edge" words specifically sent to devils. WORDS meant for devils only [the "men of sin" and "the Wicked"] cannot be applied to flesh and blood men. Man's failure to discern this has contributed to much doctrinal confusion and error. And lack of this "two-edge" knowledge has aided in man's failure to open the "sealed WORD" and man's misunderstanding of the WORD OF GOD). [How much of your doctrine contains WORDS specifically sent to devils which you and your church have applied to mankind?!] So he left the parable of Matthew 12:43-45 for the astute to ponder, if perchance God will choose to open his eyes to the reality of the invisible kingdom. But your Father God is providing these "bitter herbs" NOW for you readers of the "GOOD NEWS". Now you understand why Paul advised us to put on the whole armor. This is and has always been "the battle of Armageddon". Each man wars against the devils who lay seige against his mind and soul and body every day of his life! Revelation 12:[12] Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. [14] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. [15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. [16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman (because "Mother" Jerusalem caused God to kick them out of Heaven in the beginning), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Devils are also after ALL Her children including those blind slaves they captured at birth [Revelation 12:1-4: this text is about more than Jesus. It is the birth circumstances for ALL MEN] whom men call "sinner men", but we in the "GOOD NEWS" call "prodigal sons" and "children of disobedience" via Jesus and Paul respectively, Luke 15:20-24; Ephesians 2:1-3).
