THE GREAT EXCHANGE

Part XXXVII

In our last chapter of The Great Exchange, we showed how the prophetic understanding of the Triuniverse can bridge the gap between the Non-Millennialists and the Literal/Futurist systems in perceiving the Scriptures.

Once again, the Amillennialists fail to see the reality of Future prophecy covering the Christian era, and the Futurists fail to see the past/present reality of the Kingdom of God in JESUS CHRIST.

By emphasizing the Futurist fantasies of the Rapture Cult, the Futurists refuse to acknowledge the prophetic events that are unfolding in the eternal NOW, and how they profoundly affect the body of Christ. 

Simultaneously, by claiming Revelation's 1,000 year Earthly reign of Christ (Revelation 20:4) is actually the entire Christian era, virtually all sequence found in Scripture is nullified.

Amillennialists sometimes note the fact that the Christian era – which was intact for roughly 2,000 years – is double the figure of the Literal Millennial Reign of 1,000 years, as stated in the text – but they usually fail to recognize the significance of this anomaly.

Regarding the difference between the 1,000 years specified in the text, and the actual 2,000 years of the Christian era which has already elapsed, ironically, Amils sometimes quip they've received a "double portion" – not realizing they are inadvertently on the right track. 

The prophecies of the Bible provide extensive evidence of the supernatural  phenomena of doubling. This principle is applied in the holy text as both a blessing, or a curse, and it is significant as it directly impacts the subject of time.  

The concept of doubling is usually found in the context of a prophetic metaphor, but as the events which the allegorical prophecies are forecasting come to pass, they occur in a physical, or literal sense.

Moreover, the prophecies themselves are doubled. A fascinating example of this is found in the book of Isaiah. In those awesome writings, the prophet is speaking of Jerusalem.

"Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins" (Isaiah 40:2).  

Because this is a rather complex subject, a bit of context is in order. Isaiah was a contemporary of King Hezekiah of Judah, who was a good king. In Hezekiah's time the kingdom of Israel had already been divided, with Samaria in the North, and Judaea in the South.

Samaria had already been sacked as the Northern tribes had been carried off by the Assyrians before Isaiah's time, but the Babylonian Empire of Nebuchadnezzar that sequentially followed the Assyrian Conquest had not yet arisen to attack Jerusalem.

Thus, the Northern Israelites (in Isaiah's time they were called the Samaritans) had endured significant warfare at the hands of Egypt and Assyria, the two earliest opponents of Israel.

Jerusalem was spared from the devastation of the Assyrians, but after Isaiah's time, the "quartet" of kingdoms prophesied in Daniel came to dominate Jerusalem. This subservience was inaugurated by the first of the four kingdoms seen in Daniel's epic account, which were imaged in the four kingdoms of Nebuchadnezzar's famous dream.

"Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass [and] his legs of iron" (Daniel 2:31, 32).

Daniel interprets the dream as forecasting the four great kingdoms of Babylon (the head of gold), the Persian Union (the silver arms), the Macedonian/Greek Empire of Alexander the Great (the brass torso and thighs), and Rome (the iron legs).

One after another, these four kingdoms all dominated Jerusalem for about 600 years – as opposed to the two kingdoms of Egypt and Assyria which profoundly impacted the nation before the rise of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. 

"Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins" (Isaiah 40:2).   

Not only was Jerusalem dominated by twice (or double) the number of kingdoms that plagued the Northern Israelite tribes of Samaria, the prophet said "her iniquity is pardoned" – which speaks of the grace received through Jesus Christ, after the doubled number of kingdoms, terminating in Rome, had come to power.

Although the Futurists, under the influence of the maddening wine poured out by the Rapture Cult (Jeremiah 51:7), fraudulently seek to twist the time when the kingdom of God arrives to the last generation (supposedly  concurrent with a modern day, ten king confederation), Daniel tells us it is in the days of the quartet's kings the kingdom of God arrives.

"And in the days of these kings [the only four kings mentioned in the text] shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed…and it shall stand forever" (Daniel 2:44).

Thus, it is after the four kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome have come that the Saviour of Israel arrives to "pardon" Jerusalem's iniquity.

Moreover, the prophecy that says Jerusalem received a "double" judgment is even more astonishing when we realize that Isaiah penned this epic prophecy even before the time that Babylon rose to become a world power! And there is more.

Much earlier, Assyria had been told by Jonah that in 40 days God would judge their kingdom because of their arrogance -- but surprisingly they abruptly repented, and the wrath of the Lord was averted.

"So the people of Nineveh [the capitol of Assyria] believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them, even to the least of them. And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he said that he would do unto them; and he did it not" (Jonah 3:5,10).

By the time of Isaiah, the Assyrians had forgotten about the LORD's warning and, in an untimely attempt, they surrounded Jerusalem with a vast army, and planned to take it, as they were at the peak of their power and it was the last city they had not yet conquered.

The LORD knew that Judaea would ultimately turn away from Him and follow in the apostasy (and subsequent judgment) of her Israelite brethren in Samaria. However, in spite of her deteriorative condition and lukewarm relationship to the Lord, Judaea still had a few good kings (such as Hezekiah, Josiah, and others) who sought to lead the people back to the LORD.

Incredibly, long after the days of Jonah, Isaiah was a witness of the last stages of the Assyrian Conquest, as he saw the events occur in what is usually called real time. Although the LORD was to spare Jerusalem from the threat of the Assyrians, the Spirit of the LORD also inspired Isaiah to issue the prophecy about a doubled judgment which could not even begin to fall on Judaea in his time. 

As a result of Assyria's disregard of the warning of the LORD, the entire Assyrian dominion came to its end, as the main force of their military was  abruptly decimated in one night. A detailed account of the divine intervention, including the observations of Isaiah himself concerning the Assyrian threat, is found in II Kings chapter 19.  

However, for the sake of brevity, the epic finale of the story may be summed up in one verse.

"Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses" (Isaiah 37:36).

In this stunning encounter wherein the city of Jerusalem was no match for the overwhelming might of Assyria, the foreknowledge of the LORD was a significant factor. If Assyria had taken Jerusalem, the Word of the LORD, in which the prophet said that Judaea's judgment was to be doubled, would have been rendered inaccurate.

"The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever" (Psalm 12:6,7).

To rephrase this thought, because God preserves His word, and that word said that Judaea was to receive a double judgment, as Assyria was one of the two kingdoms the Lord had already used to judge the Northern tribes, an Assyrian victory would have completely changed the equation.

What is truly amazing is the very prophet who saw the Literal events concerning Assyria unfold, was the very same prophet who spoke in the past tense concerning events which were to strike the city in the future!

"Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins" (Isaiah 40:2).  

This mystical "doubling" goes even deeper and, as I noted earlier, it is seen in Scripture as a doubled blessing as well as a doubled curse. Moreover, it has an exponential effect on prophecy. Christian Media has repeatedly sought to articulate how the six kingdoms of the age, which impacted Old Covenant Israel, are doubled in the New Testament era.

Utilizing the phenomenon of Prophetic Parallels, we've sought to show how the sequence of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and pre-Christian Rome is doubled in the Christian era with the Holy Roman Empire (paralleling Egypt), Imperial Spain (paralleling Assyria), the British Empire (paralleling Babylon), the Soviet Union (paralleling Persia), Nazi Germany (paralleling Greece), and America (paralleling Rome).

The "Israel" that interacts with the 2^nd set of Gentile kingdoms is the "Spiritual house" (I Peter 2:5) that is the born again, heavenly version of Israel – also known as the "church" – which is the third part.

"And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein."

"And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God" (Zechariah 13:8,9).

When the New Testament tells us that everything that happened to Old Testament Israel occurred as an example to the people who were to become the body of Christ, we don't usually think of this as a doubled blessing – yet that's precisely what it is.

"Now all these things happened unto them as examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the [Israelite age] are come" (I Corinthians 10:11).

Obviously, Israel was blessed in the Old Testament, but the blessing is doubled as it was to be poured forth again in the Spirit – in the Christian era.

In the time of the early Christians, the body of Christ was suddenly indwelled by the Holy Spirit, and this event (known as Pentecost because it occurred at the time of the feast of Pentecost), sealed the transition from the first of three phases of Israel – as the door to heaven through the Old Covenant was shut (Matthew 25:10), and the door to the second of three phases of the Triuniverse was opened. 

"This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days [of Old Covenant Israel] saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams"

"And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit: and they shall prophesy: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:16-18, 21).

As we have now passed what could be called Phase Two, where Israel continues to be Scripturally defined as "a Spiritual House" (I Peter 2:5) exclusively comprised of those who are born again in Jesus Christ, Phase Three, that which we call the Era of Antichrist, is underway. 

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (I John 3:2).

Christian Media has an eye-opening, on-demand video elaborating on the crucial facts seen in the above article — which also includes predictions concerning the enormous turn of events associated with the present political tumult in America – especially with reference to the American recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the political state known as Israel. 

That video will be posted on our second channel on the Sunday Shift, where it will only be online for 7 days. We also publish a news synopsis summarizing what has occurred that week, with notes concerning the programs coming up. 

This news is also posted on our news site, ChristianMediaDaily.com which has links to our various  media outreaches. In addition to this, twice a week (Wednesdays and Sundays), we publish a companion letter commenting on the material seen in each chapter of the present series (presently Twin Timeslines on the Webcam Wednesday schedule, and THE GREAT EXCHANGE on the Sunday Shift Schedule. That letter (entitled Christian Median: MINISTRY STATUS REPORT - MSR), has even more prophetic projections concerning the amazing explosion of prophetic understanding which has occurred at the Christian Media ministry, and it includes the most recent information pertinent to the Remnant that are the Christian Medians. 

That letter (the MSR) is reserved for those who help the ministry reach other Christians who are struggling in the wilderness of the fractured Christian churches, which are "licensed" by the Beast, through "regulations" that comply with the Infernal Revenue Service (IRS).  

Further, we have additional video materials online dealing with Health and Survival, as well as yet another regularly issued video program (entitled Another Gospel) which identifies specific False Prophets the believer should avoid.

Viewing of the online video we transmit on our video channels is completely free (as is the receipt of this weekly Communique), and we greatly desire as many as possible will see it (a new video will replace it in another week), but we do not want to "cast [our] pearls before swine" (Matthew 7:6). There are those who partake of the Spiritual blessings bestowed on us from the LORD, yet they feel no motivation to help us reach others with this eye-opening truth.

Such routinely seek to cleave to us with flatteries, thinking their agreement with the LORD's perspective equals support.

"Such as do wickedly against the covenant shall [be] corrupted by flatteries" (Daniel 11:32).

We've found the power company as well as our Internet providers do not accept flatteries as payment!

Further, because there are many vested interests which are threatened by the content the Christian Media ministry provides, regular efforts are made to penetrate our ranks – including hacker attacks.

Incredibly, we've already proven that "Christian" parties have actually hired a hacker to attack our websites (Galatians 4:29). Thus, we desire to weed out those who are insincere about further examinations of the truth of the Gospel, so we send the links to our Internet materials via surface mail.

As we move through the Spiritual wilderness behind the veil of this world, even our Internet domains are subject to be seized by the dark powers, so we urge all those who hear the voice of the LORD in these Communiques to seek the LORD while He may yet be found. Remember, Israel was to eat the Passover in haste.

As those who have inherited the light of God through Christ's marvelous work,

"[We] must work the works of him that sent [us], while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work" (John 9:4).

To get our current Internet links, and receive full access to Christian Media materials, simply send your name and POSTAL mailing address to Notify@giveusmessage.info  or call our voice mail at 541/899/8888 with the same information. --  and we'll send you a printed copy of the links to the multiple websites Christian Media operates -- which freely host extensive written prophetic material, multiple television programs, and the video related to the above prophecy article.

If you have requested our Internet links, and still have not received them, if you send an email to the above Email address, we will confirm with you that the ministry emails (usually 5 per week) have been sent, and the obstacle is usually YOUR Internet provider (the one you pay—not the free email firms like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc – so they have YOU paying to be censored!) is blocking our bulk servers because they subscribe to lists provided by "anti-spam" organizations that tell your ISP who to block.

This is yet another fiery dart of the enemy, as in a Spiritual Signature, they refer to the truth as "spam," which is pig meat, an unclean earthly version of Spiritual content.

Further, as many Internet Service Providers (ISP) illegally censor Christian material, when we send prophecy information to those who love the truth, and it "bounces" back because you are being censored (and you don't know it, because you never see what is being held back from being delivered to you), we will print it out and mail it to you via surface mail so you can do something about it.

If you've already responded with your name and mailing address after receiving a prior issue of this Internet periodical, you do not need to reply again, as the links we send you through surface mail provide you with an offlinechri record on how to access all of our websites.
