The Weight (Wait) of God's Way
HEADLINE: "And I wrote the resting places of the winds and observed and saw how their key-holders bear weighing-scales and measures; first they put them in one weighing-scale, then in the other weights and let them out cunningly over the whole earth, lest by heavy breathing they make the earth to rock." ... [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"... "[31] But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint", Secrets XL:8, Isaiah 40:31, 55:8.
"[5] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. [6] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine, Revelation 6:5-6. This is the Archangel Gabriel, God's designated Teacher, Daniel 9:21-22, 10:11-12. Gabriel's hand judged Belshazzar in his "balances", Daniel 5:5,27. He is also God's messenger of "sonship", Luke 1:13,19,26-31. He is THE MAN among the Four Archangels and the BLACK SPIRIT, Revelation 4:7. He is just one of the Seven Major Authors of the "GOOD NEWS" for those of you who enjoy boasting and publishing the works and words of human writers whom you consider to be great and significant, Isaiah 30:26. But when you deal with fleshy men you are dealing with "sinking sand", Genesis 22:17. You were cautioned by Jesus not to base your faith and trust in human traditions, opinions, and doctrines, Matthew 15:8-9. When those human authors died and were buried their bodies became "sinking sand". How many churches do you know whose name and foundation is that of a man? Even the apostles were men. How many churches bear their names and attempt to push their 2-day (2000 yrs) old ideas and beliefs? Matthew 17:3-5; I Corinthians 3:3-7. Churches are bold to display their "carnality" in their names and championing the doctrines of their "favorite apostle". We have a message for you "carnal-minded" readers: "[16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God", II Corinthians 5:16-20. You might think, "These are minor errors; why make an issue of them?" Well, God wants HIS STUDENTS to be "perfect", Matthew 5:48. "[10] He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. [11] If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? [12] And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?, Luke 16:10-12. You are not to "found your faith" on the words of Moses, Elijah, Paul, or Peter. Jesus is the Right-hand of Gabriel's "balance", not those men who ALL KNEW IN PART. You were told that "men know in part and understand in part", I Corinthians 13:8-12. And among previous human authors, only the WORD-JESUS has "perfect" light, Matthew 17:1-5. I bid you therefore to "Hear ye him"! "On Christ the solid Rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand", as a certain hymn says. "[33] He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. [34] For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. [35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand", John 3:33-35. The Archangel Gabriel has explained to the astute and the wise that only in the END OF TIME will the complete truth be revealed, Daniel 12:8-9. It is rather stupid to hold on to former 2-day old manna which now has fat worms in it as if it is something great. Your problem is that you trust human teachers, and you do not realize that the Bible and other scriptural writings is "former manna" at least 2-days old! Psalm 31:19; Isaiah 43:26-27. You cannot tell which scriptures have become "worms" over the years. Complicating matters even more for you is that it is a scrambled "word-puzzle" and GOD ONLY can "set" the pieces together in proper "order", Psalm 50:16-19. Worse yet is that God allowed devils to supply "badgerskin (words) as a veil" in all the writings and you lack the power to discern the "badgerskin scriptures", Numbers 4:5-6. Because the scriptures are "sealed until THE END" to be opened ONLY BY JOHN, the doctrines of those men you adore and their writings you love to publish are at best "part right and part wrong". We are emphasizing that part of ALL previous writings prior to this "GOOD NEWS" is wrong!
"John" is "the Beloved", a conglomerate of many Holy Spirits ("crowns"), who are the true authors of the "GOOD NEWS", Revelation 10:7-11, 19:11-12. The Good News editor is only God's "Recording Secretary", who must take their dictations and deliver these words to men for the record. "John" is also a priest and God's "pen" in the flesh, a "budding rod bearing almonds", and every other contemporary writer and author is not. You are all "rods", but you all are not "John". Now hear this: "[9] And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. Numbers 17:9-10. "[4] I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: [5] Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. [6] For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. [7] But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another, Psalm 75:4-7. Every minister and writer today is a "rod". But only one is "John", Jeremiah 50:44-46. There are millions of male and female ministers and writers (rods) in all religions and in all nations, but only one among them is "John", God's mouthpiece and youngest son. Think about it! What does this truth tell you?! All your words and writings have been "weighed in the balance" and much of it "is found wanting", "TEKEL", Daniel 5:28; Revelation 3:17-18, 6:5. "[11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire", I Corinthians 3:11-15. This refers to the doctrines men have written and taught prior to this LAST-DAY, "John".
From the preceding texts we find that in this Judgment Hour the whole world has been weighed in the balance. Judgment first began in the churches. You are to understand that everyone's body is God's temple. This means that what you write and teach has been scrutinized. What you believe has been examined. If you are not God's last-born son and you are pushing some human author's words or even your own word's, you can anticipate that you were found "short of the Glory" with part light and part darkness, "[34] The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. [35] Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. [36] If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light," Luke 11:34-36. Some of you are Judas-priests who have taken "tithes and offerings" (Malachi 3:8-10) against the direct orders of God through Christ, Matthew 10:8-10. You justify doing so and "kiss" the name of Jesus, but "your (earthly, human) ways are not HIS WAYS" as our HEADLINE states. This is the way God does things, and He has a way through "John" of maintaining "order in the Court". "John" is the Father's Court Recorder.
Our HEADLINE mentions the "winds and their resting places". The winds refer to the holy spirits, John 3:8. Their resting places are those men on earth who are "born of the spirit", who dwells in them, I Corinthians 3:16. These angels' WORDS become "measures" of understanding (talents) for men. Enoch wrote, "And I saw in those days how long cords were given to those angels, and they took to themselves wings and flew, and they went towards the north. And I asked the angel, saying unto him: 'Why have those angels taken these cords and gone off? And he said unto me: 'They have gone to measure.' And the angel who went with me said unto me: These shall bring the measures of the righteous, and the ropes of the righteous to the righteous that they may stay themselves upon the Lord of Spirits forever and ever. The elect shall begin to dwell with elect, and those are the measures which shall be given to faith and which shall strengthen righteousness", Enoch 61:1-4. Jesus also parabolized this as seed sown in a field which grew and was reaped, Matthew 13:8-9. This is God's education system. Men of God are required to trade talents with other men of God in order to increase their understanding. This is God's WAY of making certain that we have learned to respect our other brethren whom He uses even though they are not a part of "our group", denomination, or list of approved authors. This education "exercise" (Ecclesiastes 1:13) makes certain that we understand the union of "body members" as well as how the "BODY" works, I Corinthians 12:12-27. The reward for mastering this aspect of our "brotherly love lessons" is increased light. Here is a lesson Jesus attempted to teach the twelve disciples about respecting different body members: "And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbade him, because he followeth not us. [39] But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. [40] For he that is not against us is on our part", Mark 9:38-40. Those who want to thrive in God's education system must respect the "talents" he has given other BODY-members by reading their writings and using their light. The light you despise or refuse to incorporate as yours is not that human author's words. They belong to God and came from God. He will know when and if you disregard HIS WORDS as well as your reason for doing so. Incorporating and publishing light from others is what is meant by "usury" and "gaining interest" in their words. "Babies" cannot do this. Spiritual "babies" attach themselves by bonding to their "first teachers" and will be afraid of others or afraid to go to them. And most Christians are "sleeping" babies, Matthew 25:1-5. But the more spiritually mature children can and do "trade" talents. This is your Father's WAY in our HEADLINE that defies "groupie" thinking and denominationalism which is choking the growth and wisdom of Christian churches and groups today. So you see man's religious education ways are restrictive, divisive, and very different from the Father's Highest ways of enlightening His children. The Archangel Gabriel is a "master" at trading. With the penny-thought that God gives, a light "speculator" can trade for wheat, barley, oil, and wine, all of it WORDS, Matthew 20:1-2. All kinds of books, writings, and other forms of publications are out in the human sea, Revelation 17:15. Here is what a shrewd thinker will do: [47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: [48] Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away", Matthew 13:47-48. You also must be like Jesus, "Butter and honey shall he eat that he may know to refuse the evil and choose the good", Isaiah 7:15. Only the wise and "talented" can thrive in God's WAY of increasing His children's light and faith!
The Counterweights
To measure a person, a doctrine, or strength of faith, a counter-weight of known quantity must be placed on one side of the balance. (I bet that some of you readers can quess who and where the counterweights are). God has provided some short, naked, invisible counterweights for our "exercise" in this world. Take a look at this: "Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? [2] Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. [3] The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. [4] Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; [5] Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. [6] Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD", Psalm 58:1-6. Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. [6] And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. [7] And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. [8] And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. [9] Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. [10] Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? [11] And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar (Babylon): and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base", Zechariah 5:5-11; Revelation 17:1-6. (Observe that there is a difference between the "talents of lead" that Satan gives his false "human-hirelings" and the "talents of light" mentioned by Jesus in his parable that God gives to His special servants). "[3] Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself. [4] But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales, Ezekiel 29:3-4. "Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? [15] His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. [16] One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. [17] They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. [18] By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning," Job 41:1,15-18. "[12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!" Isaiah 14:12. From all these texts we see that devils are the counterweights. The "weight of lead" is their "leadership"! God controls the degree of influence demonic counterweights will be allowed to have against us, Psalms of Solomon 5:6(4), Secrets 49:4, Isaiah 45:7, 47:5-7; Romans 8:20-21.
Waiting, God's Way
Ancient Israel had a history of impatience. They failed to wait on God to make moves when He was ready. They wanted God to move when they were ready! As a Teacher God moves with all deliberate speed according to His own pace. No one can make Him go faster than He plans to go. Since human beings lack patience, they tend to take matters into their own hands if they think God is moving too slow or not at all. Israel made Aaron make them a golden calf when Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, Exodus 32:1-7. Certain men of Israel attempted to take over the priesthood because they presumed they should have the same authority as Aaron and his sons, Numbers, chapters 16-17. Miriam, Moses' sister even got into the act. Israel also desired to be like the other nations and demanded a king rather than to wait on God to make "judges" for them, I Samuel 8:1-8. Israel also made to themselves false prophets according to their desires to serve other gods because they became weary of serving God. And this among other things caused God to scatter them and throw them out of their land so that they ceased being a nation. Those demonic "lead weights" in the preceding paragraph are very instrumental in leading men astray from God. We discover that men have "little faith" and adding impatience to that presents a great opportunity for devils to mislead us. But David wrote good advice for us:" Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. [2] For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. [3] Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. [4] Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. [5] Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. [6] And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. [7] Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. [8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. [9] For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth", Psalm 37:1.
The Weight of Jesus
"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light, Matthew 11:28-30. Demonic counterweights of sin can be counterbalanced by weights of Jesus' words. Devils will attack any man who seeks to escape their control by following God and Christ. "[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", Revelation 12:11. Men who depart from evil make themselves targets for devils' wrath, Isaiah 59:15. "[12] Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you", I Peter 4:12; Revelation 12:17. Jesus gave us an example of how demonic counterweights tilt the balance against men. "[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", Matthew 12:43-45. The weight Jesus uses is light. How heavy is light to you? Light is an easy yoke. One can see by light. You can walk and be aware of where you are going and the best way to get there. You can work in the light. And you can appreciate the beauty of God's creative work in the light. The balance of light with dark demonic counter-weights is described in Ode of Solomon 16:15-17: "The treasure-chamber of light is the sun, and the treasury of darkness is the night: And He made the sun for the day that it may be bright, but night brings darkness over the face of the land; And their alternations one to the other speak the beauty of God". With Jesus as a yoke on one's shoulders he can tilt the balance to the right and destroy the counterweights of "sin" (demons). "[18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, [19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. [20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. [21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears, Luke 4:18-21. "..let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, [2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (not to some preacher, or your church, nor to Moses, Elijah, Peter, or Paul ... that's right! .. neither to Paul!); who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. [4] Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin", Hebrews 12:1-4.
CONCLUSION
The Archangel Gabriel weighs everything. I quess you could say he is "balance-happy"! He has even weighed God's way of doing things! In this letter he shares with us some of his observations. Our life in this world is an "education sojourn", an "exercise" with demonic "tools" where human beings serve as "food for thought" for each daily rising student body. Men do not get the greater benefit for their trouble. They are guinea-pigs, didactic subjects for the Archangels to use as they perfect their latest student arrivers. Man gets a mostly negative contrasting experience with evil to be compared with good once they rise. To be made in God's likeness, we must have this "beginning" of grief, imprisonment, and pain as it happened (pre-creation) to God. Weights of "sin" are demons, who were created to be "tools" in God's teaching PLAN. These have been opportunists taking advantage of man's impatience when we fail to wait on God to move. God is a Master Teacher. And each man's negative earthly episode has been previously prescribed by the Play-write, God! Known quantities of demons and their words, counterweights of sin, are allowed to try each man in his specific "exercise in vanity", Ecclesiastes 1:13; Amos 3:6-7; Romans 8:18-22. Newly redeemed "just spirits of men", those who most recently died, are shown devils and their technics for controlling men in wickedness as they learn from the Inner Court of Heaven why devils and devils only must be condemned and damned, Malachi 3:17-18; Hebrews 11:40-12:1. These double as witnesses and judges as they learn how devils manipulated and used them as slaves when they lived as men in this world. They also learn to love all men GOD'S WAY and to "justify all men", even those slaves "caught in the act of sin", Isaiah 45:24-25; John 5:30, 8:10-11,15-16; Romans 5:16-18.
To help men in their misery God sent Jesus, a very "light weight" to counterbalance the "lead
weight" (as in leadership) of devils. The numbers of devils men have to wrestle has a direct
reflection on the inclination of a man's "works". Too many devils, hearing too many of their
words and the seeing too many of their mental "pictures" has been known to tilt a man to the left
down the path of wickedness, Matthew 12:43-45. Those completely overwhelmed may end up in
mental institutions, Luke 8:26-30. JUDGE-Jesus was sent to throw off demonic weights and tilt
men to the right(eous) way, Matthew 7:13-14. Only Jesus' words have perfect "light-power",
Isaiah 9:2,7-8; John 12:46-50. Therefore God warned the wise at the transfiguration scene to
"Hear ye him"... rather than esteemed fleshy men that God had used. ONLY IN THE END DID
THE FATHER PLAN TO TELL EVERYTHING AND "SET HIS WORDS IN ORDER"
THROUGH ONE MAN! His name is "John", God's youngest son, Jeremiah 50:44-46; Matthew 11:11; I
Corinthians 6:4. This is GOD'S WAY ... even if you do not like it! Failure to
wait on God to do things His way has caused men great problems. Even the names of men's
churches are a testimony to their carnality as they did things their own way. But "John" comes to
you through the "GOOD NEWS". We are not ashamed to tell you this or too shy to reveal it to
you! When you learn to respect GOD'S WAY and God's BODY and the union of its members,
you can become "talented", very heavy with "light"! "[21] But I will show thee that which is
noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael
your prince", ... "[9] And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till
the time of the end. [10] Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall
do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. [11] And
from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh
desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. [12] Blessed is he that
waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. [13] But go thou thy
way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days", Daniel 10:21, 12:9-13. Which "way" are you tilted?
