This document provides a summary of Christ being the antidote regarding death. It discusses how Christ within us is the hope of glory, and how the kingdom of God within us is the same as Christ being within us. It argues that the last disruption of man occurred in Genesis 3:21 when Adam and Eve were fully lowered into the realm of flesh and clothed with skin and flesh. This disrupted the whole world and system of mankind. It asserts that eternity has been planted in every man's heart, and that as we progress in God we will realize our power of spiritual reproduction as Abraham's seed and become like the countless stars that stretch far in the expanses of God.
The document provides commentary and reflections on the Sunday readings for the 5th Sunday of Lent. It summarizes the key points of each reading:
1) The first reading from Jeremiah announces God's new covenant where the law will be written on people's hearts and God will forgive their sins.
2) The responsorial Psalm calls for God to create a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit.
3) The second reading from Hebrews says that Jesus learned obedience through suffering and became the source of salvation for all who obey him.
4) The Gospel reading from John says that Jesus will be glorified through his death, and that a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and

This document discusses how Christ is the antidote to death and how God will inhabit the earth through a sanctified people. It explains that God put humanity in a "deep sleep" of ignorance due to lack of spiritual knowledge but that Christ calls us to "awake" and be restored to double our former Edenic state. It also discusses how Christ has the key to unlock spiritual knowledge and how true worshippers will worship God in spirit and truth.

1) The first reading from Jeremiah describes the prophet's suffering as his enemies plot against him, but Jeremiah finds comfort in God.
2) The second reading from Romans contrasts Adam, whose sin brought death, with Christ, whose grace and gift bring life.
3) The Gospel reading from Matthew exhorts the disciples to have courage in proclaiming the Gospel and facing persecution, as God cares for them deeply.
The reflections then tie the readings together by noting they each call Christians to have courage in their faith like Jeremiah and the
The document provides commentary and outlines for Bible readings for the 5th Sunday of Lent.

The session focuses on understanding God's progressive plan of redemption from Genesis to Revelation through the concept of the "Kingdom of God." Key points include: God's purpose is his glory; his plan unfolds through redemption of mankind; and the kingdom is seen in four phases from being offered to Israel to its fulfillment in Christ. The document analyzes different covenants and how the Mosaic covenant fits into the first, provisional fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham.

This document provides an overview and analysis of key passages from Genesis relating to the Abrahamic covenant and the fall of man. It discusses how Satan questioned God's command to Adam, leading Eve to evaluate God's terms on her own. It analyzes how Adam should have confronted Satan rather than letting Eve speak with him. The document also summarizes how the disobedience of the first Adam plunged mankind into sin and curse, requiring a second, obedient Adam (Jesus) to fulfill the covenant and allow people to return to God's kingdom. Genesis 3:15 contains God's first promise of this by placing enmity between the serpent and Eve's seed, with Jesus ultimately crushing Satan's head through the cross.
This document provides commentary from several scholars on Isaiah 44. The commentaries discuss the meaning and significance of different terms and phrases used in Isaiah 44, including:
1. The terms "Jacob my servant" and "Israel whom I have chosen" refer to God's chosen people who he will protect and bless despite their sins.
2. The name "Jeshurun" refers to the righteous nature the people of Israel should strive for, though they began with more negative qualities as symbolized by the name "Jacob".
3. The progression from the name "Jacob" to "Israel" to "Jeshurun" represents the transformation individuals can undergo from their natural state to becoming righteous
God promises to bless Jerusalem in the future. Over 10 short messages from God are presented, each beginning with "Thus says the Lord". God declares that He is jealous for Zion and will dwell among the people of Jerusalem once more. The city will be called the "city of truth" and the mountain of the Lord will be the "holy mountain". God promises security and prosperity, with old men and children playing in the streets. Though this seems impossible, God declares that with Him all things are possible. The chapter presents a hopeful vision of Israel's full restoration and blessing in the future.

This document discusses whether Christ is referred to as the Almighty God in scripture. It examines several passages in Revelation where the Almighty is mentioned and analyzes the context to determine if it is referring to God the Father or to Christ. It also looks at statements from Ellen White where she refers to Christ as the Alpha and Omega and Almighty God. The document concludes that both the Father and the Son are referred to as the Almighty in scripture and that Christ appears as the Almighty God several times in the Old Testament record, such as when speaking to Abraham.
Seeing and Savoring Jesus in Book 1 of the PsalmsMichael Scaman
Psalms 1-41 point to Jesus in several ways:
1. Psalm 1 describes a blessed man who is always fruitful, like a tree by living waters, fittingly describing Jesus.
2. Psalm 2 declares God's Son who is given the nations as his inheritance, applying to Jesus.
3. Psalms 40-41 describe a blessed but poor man who is rejected, containing images that point to Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion.
The document provides the readings and commentary for a Bible study on the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time A. It includes the first reading from Leviticus about being holy and loving one's neighbor, the responsorial Psalm about God's mercy and compassion, the second reading from 1 Corinthians about being temples of the Holy Spirit, and the Gospel from Matthew about being perfected in love. The commentary analyzes each passage and ties the themes of love, holiness and perfection together. Reflections question whether one loves themselves, their body as God's temple, and others like neighbors and enemies. The document aims to help prepare a homily focusing on developing extraordinary love as Christians.
The document is a Bible study guide that includes summaries and commentary on the readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time C:
1. The first reading from Habakkuk discusses the prophet's unsettling vision of violence and God's response to write down the vision. The psalm calls the worshippers to joyfully sing to God as their shepherd.

3. The Gospel reading from Luke contains Jesus' teaching about having faith the size of a mustard seed and being humble servants who do their duty without expectation of reward.
The document provides commentary and analysis for the Sunday liturgy readings. It summarizes the first reading from Isaiah which describes how the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali went from gloom to being glorified by God. It then summarizes the responsorial Psalm about having the Lord as one's light and salvation. The second reading summary explains that Paul urges the Corinthians to unity and not divisions, as some were saying they belonged to particular leaders instead of Christ alone.
This document provides an agenda and objectives for a series of catechism classes. It includes introductions, prayers, bible verses, discussions of confession and the office of the keys. The document outlines the schedule and objectives for upcoming classes which will cover topics like the sacraments of communion and baptism, as well as the Christian life.

The Gospel passage describes Jesus being tempted by the devil during his 40 days in the desert. The devil tempts Jesus three times: first by asking him to turn stones into bread; second by challenging him to jump from the temple; and third by offering him rule over all the kingdoms of the world if he worships the devil. Each time Jesus responds by quoting scripture to reject the temptation. After the third temptation, the devil leaves Jesus and angels come to minister to him.

This document provides a summary of the book of Haggai, including:
1) Haggai delivered four messages to the people concerning rebuilding the temple, with a deeper message applying to building God's spiritual house.
2) The people had stopped rebuilding the temple, claiming it was not time, but God pointed out they were living in fine houses while His house lay in ruins.
3) God caused drought and crop failures to get their attention and show them the rule to seek God first. The message calls believers to focus on advancing God's kingdom over personal interests.

This document discusses Christ as the antidote to death and how he has broken down the dividing wall between our true identity in Christ and our lowered consciousness. It says Christ overcame the division and enmity within himself first by establishing peace between our soul and spirit. It discusses how through Christ we now have full access to the Father by realizing our oneness with our divine self and overcoming the veil of separation between our human and divine nature. Finally, it emphasizes that Christ has set us free from being slaves to our lowered consciousness or mistaken identity.

This document discusses the interpretation of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 regarding humanism versus godliness. It argues that:
1) The "man of lawlessness" and "antichrist" referred to in these verses is not a single person, but rather a system - that of humanism exalting itself over godliness.
2) Those who proclaim only humanism are "seated in the temple of God, demonstrating that he himself is God," referring to exalting humanism over true spirituality.
3) Brothers should seek to emulate the example of Melchisedec in resolving differences through gentleness, love and unity rather than accusation or division.

The document discusses several major genetically modified crops including golden rice, GM soybeans, GM tomatoes, and GM corn. Golden rice has been engineered to produce beta-carotene which provides vitamin A. GM soybeans are mostly herbicide resistant and used for livestock feed. The first GM food available was the FlavrSavr tomato, which had longer shelf life. Bt corn produces its own pesticide while herbicide tolerant corn is resistant to weed killers.

This document discusses the concept of Christ as the antidote to death and discusses attaining a "Christ consciousness." It argues that many search for eternal life by reading scriptures alone but fail to truly come to Christ. It asserts that coming to a conscious awareness that the true self is Christ, not the false identity or "antichrist" self, allows one to overcome the fear of death. It claims Christ is revealing and slaying the antichrist nature within people and bringing them into a higher consciousness of their true identity.

Jesus came to do God's will by taking on a human body and sacrificing himself to atone for humanity's sins, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies of a coming Messiah. The document discusses how Jesus fulfilled the purpose of the imperfect animal sacrifices under the Old Law by offering himself as the perfect sacrifice. It argues that Jesus' incarnation and sacrifice accomplished what the older system could only symbolize, reconciling humanity to God and allowing forgiveness of sins.
This document discusses the oneness of man with God and the true identity of believers as Sons of God. It makes three key points:
1) Jesus said "I and my Father are one" to show that as he was one with God, believers can be one with God through the indwelling Christ. Our true identity is as spiritual beings united with God.
2) We were all created in Christ and already have within us everything God intended. Figures like Enoch and Elijah demonstrated this true identity through their actions.
3) There is only one true Son of God, which is the Christ or Spirit of God. Individual believers were born as humans but their true identity as Sons was

The document provides guidance on salvation and sanctification. It begins by establishing that all have sinned and are separated from God. It then explains that God provided a way to salvation through Jesus' death on the cross. To receive salvation, one must believe in Jesus and confess their sins. However, Christians still struggle with sin due to human nature. The document asserts the need for sanctification through the Holy Spirit to be cleansed from sin and live a holy life. It encourages studying the Bible, attending church, praying, and witnessing as ways to grow in faith after receiving salvation.

The document discusses the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as described in scripture. It provides context on how sacrifices were used under the Old Testament to atone for sin but were ultimately insufficient. It describes how Jesus' sacrifice on the cross fulfilled prophecies and types from the Old Testament, being the perfect and final sacrifice that put sin away forever through his surrender and offering of himself. His death accomplished what all past sacrifices had only pointed to typically.
This is a collection of writings about the awesome testimony of the Holy Spirit. He testifies about the new covenant that we have in Christ, and our forgiveness in Him. No more sacrifice in ever needed, and God's law is written in our hearts and on our minds.
The Mystery is that God was manifest in the flesh. We speak of Matthews description of the Name. Why the seeming contradiction among Christians with the opposing views. Who is the woman, the bride? The reason for the change in the baptismal formula. Re-baptism!! The truth regarding an end-time revival !!
This document discusses the concept of "soul ties" mentioned in the Bible. It explains that physical manifestations are the result of spiritual occurrences, as referenced in Ephesians 6:12. When a man and woman join together physically, their souls become joined as well, forming "one flesh". Having multiple sexual partners splinters the soul, resulting in thoughts and feelings from other souls. The Bible warns against forming soul ties with prostitutes in 1 Corinthians 6:15-16. To renounce past ungodly soul ties, the document provides a prayer to repent and ask God to deliver, forgive, and free those involved from the effects of such soul ties.

Part 77 In Reality, In Christ The Sins Of The World Have Been Taken Away! Ralph W Knowles
This document discusses the concept that through Christ, all sins of the world have been taken away. It explores the idea that forgiveness and remission, while wonderful experiences, represent a lower understanding than the complete acquittal that Christ provides. It argues that through Christ, we have been acquitted of all deeds of our mistaken identity, and examines scriptures like John 1:29 and others to support this. The document also discusses concepts like the death and possible lack thereof of biblical figures like John and Enoch, and argues against the idea that all men must literally die and go to the grave based on its interpretation of scriptures. It aims to provide a "higher" understanding beyond traditional concepts.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

The Book of Ruth is included in the third division, or the Writings, of the Hebrew Bible. In most Christian canons it is treated as one of the historical books and placed between Judges and 1 Samuel.
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.

Part 65. The Kingdom Of God Is Within You!
1. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH
Part 65.
The Kingdom Of God Is Within You!
''to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:'' Col 1:27. ASV.
''To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of
this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realising the] glory.'' Col 1:27. Amp.
In actual fact I wish to prove to all that there is no difference to the kingdom of God being within us
& Christ being within us for they are one & the same thing.
''neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.'' Luke 17:21.
ASV.
''Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is
within you [in your hearts] and among you .'' Luke 17:21. Amp. And among you is explaining the
plurality of Christ in His collective body.
''Neither shall they be declaring 'Lo! here!' or 'Lo! there!' for lo! the kingdom of God is inside of
you." Luke 17:21, CLV.
''And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered and said,
The kingdom of God does not come with observation. ''Nor shall they say, Lo here! or, behold, there!
For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.'' Luke 17:20-21. MKJV.
The kingdom of God comes not with observation, so in our midst once again would be explaining the
plurality of the body.
entos en-tos' From Strongs. # G1722; inside (adverb or noun): - within.
The Kingdom, One Or Many?
When speaking to some there is a confusion as regards the word among. We must keep in mind that what
Jesus had in His mind was that the kingdom of God, or Christ in you is referring both to the individual &
as well as to His corporate self which is still really only one & even though Christ be in many He cannot
be divided. The mystery is ''Christ in you the hope of Glory.'' both singular & plural. When referring to
the kingdom of God we must not view it through the eyes of the natural man. The kingdom is within,
Christ is also within. In this case when referring to Christ we are not referring to the man Jesus for as a
human being we do not know Him in the way the flesh any-more. If we are still viewing the kingdom
out side of ourselves we have not really yet had the revelation of the kingdom of God or Christ within.
This is the demarcation between the old way of thinking that nominal Christendom teaches & the
wonderful salvation that is here being revealed right now. ''who are garrisoned by the power of God,
through faith, for salvation ready to be revealed in the last era,'' 1Pe 1:5. Concordant Version.
The Adamic Dream!
Once man was lowered into the flesh realm he entered into a dream-world which was a mixture of soul
1
2. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
& flesh. Many are of the opinion that this happened before verse 21 of chapter 3. I wish to suggest to
you that the fulfilment did not take place until Gen 3:21 & that the soul realm which is between Gen 2:7
& 3:21 is a more solid & certain realm than the Adamic dream realm. Is it so strange to think that the
soul realm is more real, more tangible, even more solid than our Adamic dream-world, is it strange to
suggest that there are trees, dust & other tangible things in a higher soul realm & are more real than the
Adamic dream world? Please also consider that the fruit from these trees in this soul realm were actually
also a spiritual analogy. I ask the question what did the nakedness represent in the soul realm? What
happened in the flesh realm first had to take place in the soul realm. And man became a living soul.
''And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life; and man became a living soul.'' Gen 2:7. ASV. Please notice we are told quite clearly that man
became a living soul, it does not say a man of flesh & blood, I see most clearly this happening in Gen
3:21.
I present to you today something further than what we have been taught & accepted in the religious
circles of today! It is my conviction that the last part of the lowering was when God made skins for man
Gen 3:21 & clothed their souls with skins which in the original means naked. The Concordant version
reads as follows. ''And making is Yahweh Elohim for Adam and for his wife tunics of skin, and is clothing
them.'' Gen 3:21. We promised in our last article that we would open this up a little deeper. This is Job's
opinion of this very same thought & verse. ''You have clothed me with skin and flesh and have knit me
together with bones and sinews,'' Job 10:11 Amp. Clothed with skin & flesh, very informative!
It is not hard to understand why animal skins became mixed up in this whole understanding. The
reason being is that most think that from the very start that our great God was desiring bloody sacrifices
this has come from a misunderstanding of the truth of this verse. According to Josephus the Jewish
historian he states that when Titus brought away from Jerusalem the manuscripts that were in the Temple
that from this occurred the spoiling of a number of texts this being one of them, but good news there is
enough even in this spoiled verse to show the true meaning of the true fulfilment of the lowering. It
would be easy for you to think that I am riding a pet hobby horse here but as we progress we will begin to
see that as God is in all things & why He is now revealing these hidden understandings that need to be
opened up & made known to all. As we will read later God is doing a shaking. It would seem that the
majority of translations render this verse very similar & would read very closely to. ''Made them coats
of skin.''
''And making is Yahweh Elohim for Adam and for his wife tunics of skin, and is clothing them.'' Gen
3:21. Concordant Version.
''For Adam also and for his wife the Lord God made long coats (tunics) of skins and clothed them.''
Gen 3:21. Amplified.
The KJV would use the word coats, be that as it may, both the words tunic or coats are from the Heb
word ''ORE'' H5785, which is directly related to H5783 ''UR''. These both mean to be made skin,
bare, as naked. For the reason of both clarity & to convince our readers of truth I once again present to
you Job's opinion of this very understanding. This would also give us an idea of how this verse originally
read before it was tampered with.
''You have clothed me with skin and flesh and have knit me together with bones and sinews,''
To come into a deeper understanding of these things we need to leave our father & mother or the
concept that we are nothing more than flesh & blood or that we are only a product of the sperm from our
parents & leave the normal concept or understanding of what most believe regarding the Adamic dreamworld. The wonderful reason that God was responsible for allowing us to experience this Adamic dream
is that His aim was to bring man back to a full realisation of his very first estate & in doing so he/man
would then have power over all the rest of the elements that he possesses as a spiritual being!
Interestingly it was not until after verse 21 that the statement was made in verse 22 ''Behold the man
is become like one of us knowing how to distinguish between good and evil.'' Why? A very important
2
3. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
reason is for the understanding of these things we need to see more & more that there are at least three
realms & not to try to fit them into two realms. It is also interesting to notice that Adam did not know Eve
as a wife Gen 4:1 until after he was fully lowered as in Gen 3:21. Why? For to myself it is obvious that
before this they were not yet in the LOWERED FLESH REALM.
A Popular Theory Of Contradiction!
I must also add that it is a popular opinion that our loving Father sacrificed animals to make animal skins
as a covering for Adam & Eve. Let us consider these following verses. As mentioned a little earlier we
need to have our understanding opened as regards the truth of God desiring the blood of animals & His so
called nature of desiring animal sacrifices & that without this, meaning His hard core exacting
performance nature could not be appeased. Nothing could be further from the truth. When I first began
to have this opened up to me it went sorely against my pentecostal 'animal sacrificial grain' & for
myself it was a hard pill to swallow as most of my second realm reasoning was based on this sort of
theory.
''For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give it , Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.'' Psa 51:16. Youngs.
''Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; Mine ears hast thou opened: Burnt-offering and sin
offering hast thou not required .'' Psa 40:6. ASV.
''For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.'' Hos
6:6. ASV.
''The Law teaches that offerings and sacrifices must be made because of sin. But why did Christ
mention these things and say that God did not want them?'' Heb. 10:8. Contemporary English Version.
''He begins - Christ - by saying, thou hast no desire for, thou takest no delight in, sacrifices and
offerings and holocausts and sin-offerings (and these are what are offered in terms of the Law);'' Heb
10:8. Moffatt.
If you do a search there are quite a number of other texts but these will suffice for now. So the theory
of our Father killing animals as a sacrifice so He could make leather skins to clothe them to my mind has
too much against it & would be appeasing our outer court & holy place way of thinking. When
considering the true meaning of verse 21 ''You have clothed me with skin and flesh and have knit me
together with bones and sinews,'' Job 10:11. It was not until the very next verse which is 22 that the
statement is made.
''And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now,
lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.'' Gen 3:22. ASV.
I pose the question how would man have ''become as one of us'' if they were only clothed in animal
skins? What possible difference or connection would being clothed in animal skins have to do with
coming to know the difference between good & evil. No! This is where they & the whole world
including animals & the whole system of mankind were fully lowered - a disruption if you please - &
clothed with skin & flesh together with bones & sinews. When we read in Rom 8:20-22, ''That nature
itself will be set free from its bondage & decay & corruption & gain an entrance into the glorious
freedom of God's children. Furthermore this is the reason that the WHOLE EARTH creation has been
groaning together until now.'' - My ad-lib version of these few verses .- This makes the truth & the
reasoning of Gen 3:21 clearer in its true context.
The description from Job should tell us exactly how the original verse would read before it was
tampered with by Titus & that is, I repeat, ''You have clothed me with skin and flesh and have knit me
together with bones and sinews,'' It would seem that in our Wonderful Fathers ingenuity &
thoughtfulness that He always leaves us with a solid witness as far as truth is concerned.

4. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
Disruptions!
The true fulfilment of Gen 3:21 was in my strong opinion the last disruption of man when Adam & Eve
& the whole world were lowered into the realm that we are in right now. This is the realm that man is
now making his way out of right now, this realm of what we think is an entrapment of good & evil! What
a glorious victory awaits us, to have experienced & been a part of this disruption & to be an overcomer
not by our own strength but by the realisation of the identity of the one who even lowered us & in doing
so lowered Himself is still a mystery & has remained hidden to those who have not yet been awakened
but is now coming forth in a great fulfilment of the many prophecies that have been given in the past not
only by biblical prophets but other great sages of other persuasions for I am so glad to say today that
''God so loved the world'' & He placed eternity in every man's heart Eccl 3:11, be it calathumpian or
whoever. What we are sharing right now will surely go against the grain of many who only read the ink
on the paper of the good book. The true word of God is not just chapter & verses, the true word is the
LIVING WORD that is found in our hearts & is ALIVE. There may be those who are right now disagreeing
with this discourse, do not worry for in time it will all be made clear to you, for even though world events
would indicate severity in the future, the pendulum of the clock of time must finish its swing before it
begins its return to the other side. God has everything under control & there is soon coming a time of
change that many would think unimaginable. There is coming a new earth & new heavens & this is not
referring so much as to what we see with the naked eye. Within every one of us is a heavenly realm & an
earthly realm, even within yourself dear reader, that heavenly realm within you is soon to be realised &
seen by you & then your earthly realm will be changed by that which is in your heavenly place within
yourself & so shall arise a new heaven & a new earth, yourself first & then you will become one of a
number of many many collective recipients & this will eventually happen to all men for according to Jn
12:32 Christ is the victor & not the loser & is not only our creator but our redeemer as we are informed in
the following verse.
''And God was pleased for him to make peace by sacrificing his blood on the cross, so that all
beings in heaven and on earth would be brought back to God.'' Col 1:20. CEV. There have been a
number of disruptions but this we are referring to was the last & therefore most applicable to us right
now.
Eternity Has Been Planted In Each And Every Man's Heart!
Eccl 3:11.
''Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; [your eyes] will behold a land of wide distances that
stretches afar.'' Isa 33:17. Amplified. The following analogy is taken from something that Des Walter
shared many years back, I cannot remember exactly how it went so please forgive the short-comings Des!
God spoke to Abraham one day & said look up & observe the stars. To do so he needed to come out of
his tent, the tent really represents our limited hindered understanding. If we are too tent minded then
we become introverted to the great expanses of God. It is always good for us not to stay cooped up in the
tent of our own understanding, it is always good to come out & look up at the stars of God & see more as it were - both naturally & spiritually & acknowledge the great wide expanses that belong to us in Him.
The Lord said to Abraham when you look at the stars & try to count them, it is impossible, for they are
too many; Well Abraham so shall your seed be, yes they shall be uncountable! If the truth be known we
are a part of Abraham’s seed & as we move on in God we too will realise that we have the same power of
spiritual reproduction as our father Abraham: For are we not by faith the children of Abraham? These
stars represent ourselves who are stars of eternity. The Lord would have us behold the land of wide
distances that stretch so very, very, very far. When we look up spiritually this is when we will behold the
King in His beauty. That beauty is actually pure gold.
''Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold where they refine it.'' Job 28:1. Amplified.
In verse 3 we read.
''Man sets an end to darkness, and he searches out the farthest bounds for the ore buried in gloom
and deep darkness.'' Job 28:3. Amp. Isn't that beautiful! Man is setting right now an end to darkness
4
5. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
& He is searching out in the bounds that may seem so far to some, the ore – the gold – which is buried.
Where? In our gloom & the deepest darkness of our despair.
Where is this mine that Job is referring to?
''For he knows already my way; and he has tried me as gold.'' Job 23:10. Brenton's English
Septuagint. Please notice the heading would tell us that eternity has been placed in every man's heart.
This gold which represents the eternal most valuable asset that man possesses or will ever possess. The
mine is in every man's being. Let us in the light of what we are sharing consider once again the parable
that Jesus gave us in Matthew.
''The kingdom of heaven - gold - is like something precious buried in a field, which a man found and
hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field. Again the kingdom of heaven
is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, Who, on finding a single pearl of
great price, went and sold all he had and bought it.'' Mat 13:44-46. Amp.
The field in which the precious treasure is buried is within ourselves, we are that field in which the
gold or pearl is buried. Once again man is setting an end to darkness & is now making it his goal that no
matter what, he will have that treasure at any price. We cannot take any of the credit for this for God has
promised that ''after two days that He would revive us, quicken us, give us life; then on the third day
He will raise us up that we may live before Him.'' Hosea. 6:2.
''In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at
that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before
them.'' Zech 12:8. ASV. By the way the Jerusalem that our Father is defending, as popular as it may be
right now has nothing whatsoever to do with natural Jerusalem. The Jerusalem of today are God's people
& many of God's people are going to be so disappointed when the rubber hits the road - as it were - & yet
at the same time there will be a rejoicing in the setting free of our created myths. The fallacy of the
natural Jerusalem & all that goes with it is now being dealt with in the shaking that is now in progress.
And the house of David shall be as God, as the angel - messenger - of Jehovah before them. The role
that the sons of God, even the house of David, the man-child who is within us even now - yes those who
are true partakers of the divine nature – is beginning to be understood more & more in its fullness.
''Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and
with thee will I destroy kingdoms;'' Jer 51:20. ASV.
''and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in
thee; and there is none else, there is no God.'' Isa 45:14b. ASV. These two verses are referring to the
Christ that is being revealed IN HIS SAINTS.
A Shaking!
''Then [at Mount Sinai] His voice shook the earth, but now He has given a promise: Yet once more I will
shake and make tremble not only the earth but also the [starry] heavens. Now this expression, Yet once
more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all [that can be] shaken--that is, of that which
has been created--in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue. Let us therefore,
receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and
acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe;'' Heb 12:26-28. Amplified.
We are told here that before the complete appearing of Christ in us, all things will be shaken both in
ourselves, our belief systems & all created errors that we have so glibly received & still not only hang
onto but still unwittingly love so much today. Many of us think that we are so far out & away from these
things that are not eternal & that we are nearer fullness than what we really are. Even though this may be
true to a point, that we are almost there, as the kingdom that is within us is eternal & will not & cannot
leave us as Christ in us is that kingdom. I am inclined to think that maybe more than a few of us have
beguiled ourselves, this is not said with any malice as I dare not yet dis-include myself as being of the
5
6. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
few. On the other hand our great loving Father who is such an encourager gives us food to partake of so
that we may have the strength to endure the next part of our shaking & shake us He will. Once again we
read of the earth & the heavens being shaken, this of course means also our complete personal spiritual
selves. The shaking applies to many areas of our understanding. If we look closely we will notice that all
things that have been created are going to be shaken, this covers a vast, vast area, everything that we
have created in our image-nation – or imagination which is the greatest nation ever - & our religiosity
yes; even in our son-ship ranks is now being shaken & if you can wear a pun there is no greater shaker
than this shaker, who is our great identity even Christ who is who we really are. Now whilst I am writing
this you may think that I am pointing the finger at just you who are reading this but I am well aware that
there are several fingers pointing directly back at myself at the same time. There is a vast difference
between the things that have been created & the true things of spirit which have never been created, now
I realise that a statement like this will perhaps raise some eyebrows. The things of spirit just are, they are
eternal & as God IS; the Eternal Spirit was never created & I repeat He just is!!
So all created things are going to be shaken out of us. Can you imagine how hard & how much our
great God can shake. I can clearly remember an incident when I was a little boy, I had repeated
something very naughty & my mother became so frustrated with me that she just shook me until I thought
my head was going to fall off, not a very nice experience but I can tell you I never have forgotten it & it
taught me a lesson that I will never forget. Time-wise it was probably a lot shorter than what I remember.
Now we are speaking of natural things here but in this final shaking it is the ''final removal and
transformation of all [that can be] shaken--in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and
continue. A very sobering but wonderful thought, for I am persuaded that our wonderful Father will keep
His promise & ''will perfect that which concerns me.''
I would dare-say that if we are spiritually thinking sons we may gather that what has already been
presented as regards Gen 3:21 could well more than perhaps fit into this category. Please keep in mind
that what we are presenting here is not being forced upon you but is presented for your perusal to consider
within your self whether it be part of the shaking of man's creation as opposed to that which cannot be
shaken! The following which was written some years back would more than fit the thought here.
''History has proven that truth in any sphere, has at first always been regarded as heresy''
To make it a little clearer, truth, especially something new or different will always be opposed by the
most seemingly spiritual people. I have found that we must listen to our voice inside & not to all the
different opposing clamour that would come from outside of us. We must learn to listen to Him & not to
them. This especially applies to myself & what we are sharing, listen to your Christ within.
''Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless
in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.'' Eph 1:4. Amp.
''He is the lamb who was known long ago before the world existed, but for your good he became
publicly known in the last period of time.'' 1Pe 1:20. Gods Word.
''foreknown, indeed, before the disruption of the world, yet manifested in the last times because of you,
who through Him are believing in God,'' 1Pe 1:20. Concordant.
No Leftovers In This Last Shaking!
''And they [even] made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol and made merry and exulted
in the work of their [own] hands. But God turned [away from them] and delivered them up to worship
and serve the host (stars) of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: Did you [really] offer
to Me slain beasts and sacrifices for forty years in the wilderness (desert), O house of Israel? [No!] You
took up the tent (the portable temple) of Moloch and carried it [with you], and the star of the god
Rephan, the images which you [yourselves] made that you might worship them; and I will remove
you [carrying you away into exile] beyond Babylon. Our forefathers had the tent (tabernacle) of witness
in the wilderness, even as He Who directed Moses to make it had ordered, according to the pattern and
6
7. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
model he had seen. Our forefathers in turn brought it [this tent of witness] in [with them into the land]
with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations which God drove out before the face of our forefathers.
[So it remained here] until the time of David, Who found grace (favour and spiritual blessing) in the
sight of God and prayed that he might be allowed to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. But it
was Solomon who built a house for Him. However, the Most High does not dwell in houses and
temples made with hands; as the prophet says, Heaven [is] My throne, and earth the footstool for My
feet. What [kind of] house can you build for Me, says the Lord, or what is the place in which I can rest?''
Act 7:41-49. Amplified.
The first thing that I wish to bring to our attention is that at the time that Moses went into the mountain
for forty days, the people of Israel, did not wait for Moses to return - out of sight, out of mind - so they
made a calf, that which was of their own creation & they exulted the works of their own hands. We see
that God was not happy with this & He turned away from this & delivered them up to worship & serve
the stars of heaven. Keep well in mind that this is an allegory or type for the shaking that is now in
process & all of these types are given for our admonition & learning. We are of course no longer under
the law but as we proceed it will become clear how this all applies to the shaking in ALL of our lives.
God asks the question did you really follow Moses & the tabernacle plan? No! You took up the tent or
the portable temple of Moloch & carried it & the star of the god Rephan, the - created - images which
you yourselves made that you might worship them & I will remove you – today, the application us is to
them, the created images & not ourselves – beyond Babylon. These - created - images God is
wonderfully & mercifully bringing to our attention & moving them far away from us even beyond
Babylon. God will have a people no matter what & they will come forth in fullness & purity of
understanding without any blemish. Also we must remember that the main reason that God is at the
moment concentrating especially on some is for the sake of the all, for did He not tell us that ''all things
should be COMPLETELY RECONCILED back to Himself, whether on earth or in heaven.'' Col 1:20b.
There will be no created images such as the types of the tent of Moloch & the star of the god Rephan –
created images - which we ourselves have made, for God has a plan,
''that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might
present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that
it should be holy and without blemish.'' Eph 5:26-27. ASV.
''Then [at Mount Sinai] - in the time of Moses - His voice shook the earth, but now He has given a
promise: Yet once more I will shake and make tremble not only the earth but also the [starry] heavens.''
''Our forefathers in turn brought it [this tent of witness] in [with them into the land] with Joshua
when they dispossessed the nations which God drove out before the face of our forefathers. [So it
remained here] until the time of David, Who found grace (favour and spiritual blessing) in the sight of
God and prayed that he might be allowed to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.''
We too have brought the Tabernacle tent of witness into our land – being within ourselves - & it has
remained here until the time of David which is right now. David's prayer of old is being answered right
now in that his spiritual descendants have found & are finding the full complete untainted & uncreated
which is being enhanced by that which cannot be shaken. Let us also remember that as spirit, soul &
body we are the consecrated, the set apart for Gods own self & purpose, this is a wonderful
encouragement to us all to move ahead in what is being revealed. If we are to move ahead we must
move on, if we are happy with what we have had to date buttered up without change we can become
stagnant & not go any further which is not a good thing for anyone.
''May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being--- spirit,
soul, and body---free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.'' 1Th 5:23. Good News
Bible.
''For our citizenship is in Heaven, - a higher realm within ourselves - from which also we are looking
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who shall change our body of humiliation so that it may be

fashioned like His glorious body, according to the working of His power, even to subdue all things to
Himself.'' Php 3:20-21. MKJV.
His glorious body! This cannot be referring to His natural body for we ''know him no more after the
flesh.'' Where is the body of Christ? The body of Christ consists solely of a corporate group of people.
This verse I feel is more of a parable. Here is a verse for us to consider both from Phillips & Concordant.
''God has placed everything under the power of Christ and has set him up as head of everything for
the Church. for the Church is his body, and in that body lives fully the one who fills the whole wide
universe.'' Eph 1:22-23. Phillips.
''which is His body, the complement of the One completing the all in all." Eph 1:23. Concordant.
The outcome of what we are saying here is that our body of humiliation is to be changed into the full
complement of the ONE Christ body which consists of the one who fills the whole wide universe & when
we come to this stage we will all be mature in love & love matured is returning good for evil, & so faith,
hope & love abide, but as Paul has admonished us that the greatest of these is love. 1Cor 13:13. If I am
still returning evil for evil then I need more maturing!!
The Kingdom Is Christ Within!
The kingdom is ONE. We were lowered into this Adamic dream, a disruption that we would experience
Christ within us, in this realm & that we would truly experience good & evil & finally in this lowered
state ''Man sets an end to darkness, and he searches out the farthest bounds for the ore buried in gloom
and deep darkness.'' Men today are so in pursuit of the true ore, the gold that is buried within that they
are certainly going to allow the shaking that is completely transforming them. I would like to also
mention that each & every one of us are virgins, there is a part of us that has never been tampered with,
there is a spiritual purity within us that is fully virginal, when this is fully realised we will reproduce the
most holy, eternal offspring even as God promised Abraham as the stars of heaven both in quality &
number. We are yet to fully produce after His/our kind. The following two verses would encourage us as
to what our Heavenly Father thinks of us & has in store for us.
''God decided to give us life through the true message he sent to us. He wanted us to be the most
important of all that he created.'' Jas 1:18. ERV.
''By his own will he brought us into being through the word of truth, so that we should have first place
among all his creatures.'' Jas 1:18. GNB.
''I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are marvellous and my
soul knows it very well.'' Psa 139:14. MKJV.
