Precious Living Stones? Analyze that one!

Horns, Beasts, Clouds, Horses and Sheafs….??? What do we make of all the symbology of the Word of God?

There are many scriptures that tell us how when the prophets didn’t understand their vision, an angel(s) came to them to interpret it. Why is that? Because sometimes the vision was very symbolic and they were not sure what it all meant?

The prophets wrote their vision as they saw them, then prayed to God to understand what it was that they saw. Sometimes the prophet fasted and prayed for days, and sometimes an angel appeared quickly. When God or an angel explained the vision, the prophet wrote that down. Sometimes God or an angel wrote it for the prophet.

Exodus 31:18, “¹⁸ And He gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.”

Imagine if it was you being addressed by God to come up to the mount so he can give you his Words for you to teach to others? How would you talk to others about such an astounding and important experience and duty? Have we even looked at the Word of God in that same manner? Ponder it a bit. Would you do anything different if God handed you the word and said to you… “I will give you a law and commandments which I have written, so you may teach others.” Would you say… I will because________? Or would you say, I can’t because _______? What would you say?

Exodus 24:12, “¹² And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.”

Exodus 24:15-18, ” ¹⁵ And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. ¹⁶ And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. ¹⁷ And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. ¹⁸ And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.”

Wasn’t that what the Lord asked us all to do? Come follow me and go and tell others the good news that I have risen?

Matthew 28:18-20, “18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Remember when Daniel had a night dream and visions of strange beasts he had no idea what it all meant …

Daniel 7:1-3, “1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. 2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. Read full vision: Daniel’s Vision Of The Four Beasts, Daniel 7 KJV (kingjamesbibleonline.org) God sent an angel to show him the interpretation.

An interpretation of the four beasts in Daniel 7…

In prophecy the visions become as clear as glass when they play out and come to pass. As we see in this video, Daniel’s vision of the leopard with four wings plays out and is explained in more detail in Daniel Chapter 8. Note: The books of McCabbees contain very important history that give details to many of historic events, including the rest of the story of Alexander the Great and the four generals to whom he divided his empire between. One of those being Ptolemey who was given to reign over Egypt. And the story of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony and other very important history of the years leading up to the birth of Jesus.

Visions and night dreams can appear in strange forms …

Seeing pictures of strange things in visions of night dreams sounds much like the same encounter as a prophetic dream where people appear who say and do strange things. Sometimes the person receiving such a vision has no idea what it means. They know it means something and they may have some ideas… but without understanding, they are unsure. Prophets would pray for the interpretations and some people had the gift of interpretation, such as Joseph the son of Jacob. I am sure when Joseph dreamed of the stalks of sheaves and was so excited about it, he must have sounded crazy to his brothers. Especially when he told them their sheaves, all bowed to his sheave. With Joseph being their little brother, it all didn’t set well with them at all. 

Genesis 7:6-8, 6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? Or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.”

We see in this  scripture how the brothers hated him for his dream… which was prophetic.  This raises a good possible reason of why God spoke to the prophets of things to come in allegories of strange depictions. It makes it harder for those who would cause harm in knowing such things to do so. We see how Nimrod in knowing the interpretation of the stars sought to have Terah kill his newborn child named Abram. And how Herod when learning of the Star the wise men had followed sought to have all the children two and under killed.

Hatred from those who seek to do wickedly, just may be one of the reasons that many things are written in such ways. Just as Jesus told His disciples. He spoke in parables so that those who do not have eyes to see and ears to hear will not see or hear. Prophetic dreams with strange depictions seen to serve the same purpose? The bottom line being, so that these things would sound crazy to the so called scholarly smart ones. He even said, how marvelous it was that God  hid such things from the wise and prudent.

Matthew 11: 25-27, “25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

“28 Come unto me, all ye that labour 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.”

Eyes to see and ears to hear are for God’s children not the devil nor any of the worldly scholars, PhD’s, archeologists, anthropologists, scientists, Theologians, et al, who sit on top of their own pile of opinions and dogma.

I have heard some scholars determine that the entire book of Revelation is a lark of images and not understandable, nor applicable.  Well, then they need to throw out a lot of the other prophecies like the book of Daniel, Ezekiel, and while at it Genesis and Exodus . Then move on to numbers, Deuteronomy … oh heck throw it all out. For it all contains allegories and visions of strange things like two sticks coming together as one… the stick of Jacob and stick of Joseph???  And  might as well throw out Zechariah and his four horsemen…. They sound as crazy as those in Revelation…  consider not that it may cross reference of the very same events??  Good grief… 7 candlesticks and four horses gone out…God  in the clouds, etc., all mish mash and not understandable??? Only to those who do not have eyes to see or ears to hear. And that is how God planned it. Smile.

A Man among the Myrtle Trees

Zechariah 1: 7, “7Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. 9Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be. 10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.

See also (Isaiah 57:14-21; Jeremiah 3:11-25; Hosea 14:1-3)

The Four Horns and Four Craftsmen

Zechariah 1:18-21, “18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. 20 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. 21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.”

We also have quite a predicament for those blessing the efforts of building another temple to burn sacrifices … Zionists are planning that event and the evangelicals are cheering them on.  The same Evangelicals that are teaching the blood of Christ… or used to? How can they teach both? How can they teach Jesus is the Son of God, the Lamb of God…and died for our sins and then say God would bless the things they are declaring to do in Israel and be all supportive of that? Especially when it is written that God is against all of that.

And how can they all continue to shout and clamor that the temple of God shall be rebuilt for God in His Kingdom when it is clearly written that we are the living stones of it, told to us by the Lord Himself who is the foundation and cornerstone of it?  There is a pastor who has a mega church named “Cornerstone Church”… who proclaims  Zionism as a thing of God and is a prominent member of the World Council of Churches who now are pushing a one world religion… how will that work out?

In Revelation chapter 21:22, “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.” 

So all this hype about building a temple is not of God. Jesus said he was the cornerstone and each of those who believed were living stones that made up the temple in God’s Kingdom which God, The Lord and the Holy Spirit all reside inside of us.  And the book of Hebrews says in much detail that all  of the old Tabernacle, and the instructions for the rituals of it were a shadow of things to come and the fulfillment of that Old Covenant which was a practice of outward things that was to come, was now fulfilled  by Christ and there is a new covenant. Which is fully explained therein.  Jesus came to set up His Kingdom which HE DID. REJOICE THAT YOU ARE A LIVING STONE OF HIS TEMPLE OF WHICH HE RESIDES IN YOU!!!

It is time for all who follow Jesus open their eyes and see that we are the Living Stones that all fitted together make up the Temple of God, just like Jesus told us we were and He was the foundation stone, the Cornerstone… of it.

So there are many who do NOT have eyes to see, nor ears to hear… just as all the many scriptures and the Lord has told us it would be. 

Today, more than ever we should all be seeing by now that what they tell you is not always the truth. For many have gone out to deceive, and even Jesus told us he sends us out as sheep among wolves.  He said the devil was a liar and the author of it, and he comes to kill, steal and destroy.

He sent us out and told us in this world there will be tribulations and great tribulation. He also said I and the Father will be with you.  He said not to fear man who can destroy the flesh, but fear God who can destroy both the flesh and the soul. Our souls are in God’s hands… no one can take us from Him. Amen.

Today, as the people in the middle east do their thing… they can do it all they want. Just know it is nothing that God said he would bless as they race out to do it.

In watching this video and seeing all the things planned and how they are going to do this thing… it is definitely religion. So what religion is this? Not sure. It’s got little to do with the Old Covenant God gave to Abraham, and what Moses carried out according to God’s commandments of building the tabernacle and all the specific items to go into it and the order of priests and their duties.

We now have these ones building a temple to their god, and doing some ethnic cleansing along the way. Caesar’s tax dollars are contributing to it.

Meanwhile, all the scriptures that spoke of the Messiah to come and what He would do and how he would come first as a lamb and second as a lion…. and how the looking forward to the arrival of the Messiah that were fulfilled and God giving His only begotten son as a sacrifice for sins ONCE AND FOR ALL, raising from the dead on the third day, appearing to many for forty days and ascending, setting up his Kingdom within all who believe and God our Father sending all who believe the Holy Spirit. Well, that’s not in their religion. None of it. They are also getting ready to announce their new Messiah and I’m sure this will bring about some attention from God, His only begotten Son, the Holy Spirit and the host of heaven. Just not the type of attention they are planning to have.

So as Wall Street Groans, and BlackRock plots, the men who covet to rule the world swirl on in the swamp drain… swirling and swirling… who has pulled the plug and how clogged is it? Will a plunger work or do we need to call in a plumber?

KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD! PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!
