DOMINOES
Part
IX
In the previous installment of Dominoes,
we learned of the New Testament effort, made by “certain men”
who presumed themselves to be Christian leaders in Judaea. These unnamed
individuals sought to teach the Christians at churches established by the Apostle
Paul, that they had to keep the laws of Moses to be saved. This was a “doubling”
of the prophecy in Daniel which says the Seed of God will seek to
“mingle themselves” with the Seed of unredeemed men.
“And whereas thou sawest iron mixed
with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of
men: but they shall not cleave one to another” (Daniel 2:43).
Since the prophecy was set in the days when the Old
Testament empires crossed from the BC era into the AD Christian
age, it clearly failed as the Apostle Paul was positioned in advance to
derail the effort to leaven the Gospel. Part VIII of Dominoes
showed how the effort was continued even after that episode (documented in the
book of Acts), but was repeatedly rebuffed by the learned Apostle.
“Therefore by the deeds of the law
there shall no flesh be justified his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of
sin” (Romans 3:20).
Paul showed it was blasphemy to try to
“mingle” the conformity to the Old Testament law with the grace
in JESUS CHRIST:
“But now the righteousness of God is
manifested without the law, being witnessed by the law and the
prophets” (Romans 3:21).
In the process of rebuking the mingling by the
Jewish Supremacists unjustly trying to preserve their Flesh and Blood standing
in the body of Christ, Paul just identified the two witnesses of
Revelation.
“And I will give power unto my
two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and
threescore days, clothed in sackcloth” (Revelation 11:3).
It is sublimely ironic that it was the divine response
to the very attempt at leavening the pure truth of the Free Gift of salvation
through Christ, that was the occasion for Paul to write – under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit -- that the two that “witness” the
magnificent gift of salvation are the two key predecessors to the glory of
grace, the Law and the Prophets.
Indeed, it is this mysterious way in which prophecy
unfolds that tends to make those driven by the “two parts” (Zechariah
13:8) of their Flesh and Blood (or heart and mind) – in opposition to
the Spirit of God – that consistently seeks to diminish the divine
movement from heaven into literal Flesh and Blood characters.
“For the flesh lusteth against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and they are contrary the one to the
other: so that ye cannot do [or even perceive] the things that ye
would” (Galatians 5:17).
Those that would postulate the “two
witnesses” are two literal last day’s religious figures are falling
into the same trap as those who have continually proposed various earthly
candidates for “the” Antichrist and “the” False Prophet,
resisting the leading of the Holy Spirit towards recognizing the twin spiritual
towers of Death and Hell (Isaiah 28:18),
which are manifested in earthly vessels in every generation.
For example, we’ve been highlighting how the
attempt at “mingling” the Seed of God with “the seed of
men” predicted in Daniel 2:43 is a “doubling” of the
Israelite blunder when the “people of Israel, and the priests and the
Levites [and] the princes and rulers” had “mingled”
the “holy seed” (Ezra 9:1, 2) with the heathen.
It’s not instantly recognized the mingling
seen in Ezra (and Nehemiah) occurred after the time of the
prophecy in Daniel, yet that very prophecy was Sequentially Recapitulated
in the Christian era with the repetitive incidents associated with the
“Christian” legalists. The episode occurred during the Jewish
repatriation to Jerusalem because as the Apostle Paul wrote,
everything that happened to Israel was for the benefit of the Christians.
“Now all these things happened unto [Israel]
for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of
the world are come” (I Corinthians 10:11).
This uncanny punctuation of events in the timestream is
particularly acute in regard to the mystical phenomenon of Sequential
Recapitulation, or doubling. As another case in point, when Paul
mentioned the “two witnesses” to the grace of God in Jesus Christ
was “witnessed by the law and the prophets” in Romans
3:21, his pronouncement was written before the book of Revelation
introduced the “witnesses” for the first time in Scripture!
“Declaring the end from the
beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done” (Isaiah 46:10).
Having been chosen by the Lord before I was born (Ephesians
1:4) for the glorious mission of receiving prophecy, I’ve experienced
this prophetic gifting on many occasions. In this regard, God has recently
revealed yet another doubling that is presently unseen in the
body of Christ.
To explain it, we again go into the Old Testament
accounts of Israel. When the king of Assyria besieged backslidden
Israel, and carried away the Northern tribes, another amazing
“doubling” began.
“And they rejected his statutes, and
his covenant that he made with their fathers…therefore the Lord was very
angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight” (II Kings 17:15,
18).
Not only did the Assyrians transplant the Israelites
into the Assyrian domain, the king of Assyria populated the Northern land of Israel,
then called Samaria, with his own subjects.
“And the king of Assyria brought men
from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from
Sevarvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of
Israel” (II Kings 17:24).
A few contemporary prophetic figures have seen how the
American Christians prophetically parallel the ancient Israelites, even as they
have refused to receive the God given knowledge the believers are
what we would call “Spiritual Israelites” (as opposed to members of
the “Church”), and this truth is commonly (and erroneously)
disparaged as “replacement theology.”
The separation of the two bodies is the by-product of
the Rapture Cult, when the Scriptures actually show the believers are
redeemed Israel, a body consisting of physical Jews and physical Gentiles,
which was created based on our Spiritual inheritance with Christ.
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature…[God] hath made us [fit] to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light: in whom we have redemption through
his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (II Corinthians 5:17;
Colossians 1:12, 14).
Recent historical research shows the region where the
Northern Israelite tribes were deported was central Asia, with a heavy
concentration in what is now Afghanistan. The majority tribe there
is known as the Pathans, which is divided among two groups known as the Memnassah,
and the Efriedi. Along with other tribal groups in Iran and Pakistan,
they are the descendents of Manasseh, and Ephraim, two of the Northern tribes
of Israel that were carried away.
Although they are Moslems, the Pathans have traditions
that are obviously Israelite in origin (see Quest For The Lost Tribes by Simcha
Jacobivci). Even more ironic is the fact that this ethnic group is the primary
source of manpower in the Taliban.
As America is now being punished by the Lord due our
nation’s vile departure from the ways of God as documented in the New
Testament, we have just seen an undisclosed number of Americans stranded in
Afghanistan. We have also seen many Christians abandoned there as well.
Simultaneously, with the complicity of our treasonous
leaders, an estimated 50,000 plus undocumented Afghans are being
transferred to American soil, in a bizarre Sequential Recapitulation of
the ancient exchange of populations.
Even though these current developments are telegraphed
through the Holy Bible, the Christians in America continue to follow the False
Prophets that Jesus told us would be a prominent feature of the
stiff-necked Christians, who continue to cling to their unscriptural
traditions. In this regard, the Spiritual Israelites are actually doubling the
same prophetic cycle as the ancient backslidden physical Israelites.
Unfortunately, falsely presuming He was referring to
“the” Antichrist, few recognize that when the Saviour forecast the
conditions at the end of the age, He told us the leaders that deceive the
believers would themselves come in the name of the Lord. “For many
shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” (Matthew
24:5).
Of course, the New Testament tells us those deceiving
shepherds are themselves deceived, so the leaven just reverberates
outward through the entire body.
“A little leaven leaveneth the whole
lump. But evil men and seducers shall was worse and worse, deceiving, and
being deceived” (Galatians 5:9; II Timothy 3:13)
But further commentary on the fate of the Christians
who continue to trust their deceived leaders in the Rapture Cult,
will have to wait for the next installment of Dominoes.
