Letter
Eleven
It is written in Isaiah: a For,
behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be
remembered, nor come into mind. But you
be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create
This is what the beloved
apostle Paul is saying: b Wherefore from now on, we do not know anyone after the
flesh: yes, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now from this time
onward we do not know him after the flesh any more. Therefore if any
man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by
Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
Though Peter and Philip loved the Lord Jesus, it was only in the flesh and it grieved them, not understanding. But when Christ asked Peter who he believed He was, this is what followed: c Then Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ. Because he had to finish the work he came to do: He came to start a fire, to create the kingdoms of exile to drive us into¾ to seek His lost sheep and show them how to follow him into the regeneration.
Since the nations ¾ that is the kingdoms of this world ¾ are less than the small dust on the scales,
for they are carnal in all things,
their faith has not any substance in spirit.
In Isaiah below it is written of them.
What is written is of the Lord God and it is spiritual.
cc
Behold, the
nations are as a drop in a bucket, And are counted as the small dust on
the scales;
All nations before Him are as
nothing,
And they are
counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.
The Jews, that were a type and shadow of
things to come and went into exile because ¾ hear Moses: d Moreover all these
curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, until you
be destroyed; because you would not hear the voice of the LORD your God, to
keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded you: And they shall
be upon you for a sign and for a wonder, and upon your seed forever. Because
you served not the LORD your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart,
for the abundance of all things; Therefore you shall serve your enemies
which the LORD shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in
nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron
upon thy neck, until he have destroyed you.
There are three main things to bear in mind here, one
is: I create Jerusalem a rejoicing ─ She
is not that material image in the middle east, but she is what the apostle
Paul is writing about in his letter to the Galatians: E Which things are an allegory: for these are the two
covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which genders to bondage,
which is Agar. For this Agar is mount
Sinai in Arabia, and answers to
Another thing to know
and understand is: as Paul has written: we f know not anyone in the flesh anymore. So we do not know
Abraham and Sarah in a tent, in the desert, in the
We,
the Elect children of God, do not look to parables, types, figures and shadows anymore,
but what they speak to. See brethren, we are that third part that is refined
and chosen of our Lord. For it is written in Zechariah: g Awake, O sword,
against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, says the
LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will
turn mine hand upon the little ones. He has turned his hand on us all and scattered us into
every kingdom in the world. And as Paul has written, we all have suffered
losses, but as gg Jude has written: And of some have compassion, making a difference: And
others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the
garment spotted by the flesh. Compassion has made a difference. And it
shall come to pass, that in all the land, says 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.
Here
in Luke are the prophesies of Simeon: h And behold, there was a
man in
As we behold
In Revelation it is written: j Therefore rejoice, O
heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because
the devil is gone down unto you ─ In
Romans, Paul writes in this wise: k For
I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to
every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein
is revealed the righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written,
But the righteous shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth
in unrighteousness; For all
carnality is to be without God and be under his wrath.─ l for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing
that he has but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast down ─ from the spirit to carnality
─ to the earth, m he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. And
there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might
fly into the wilderness unto her place ─ n that place is where the one third are being born and tried by
fire and all the familes of the north are come, to bring God’s wrath: This has
been occurring from Jesus Christ in the
spirit, until this present time ─ where she is nourished
for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth after
the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the
stream. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and
swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth ─ for the waters were carnal, man’s doctrines and was received
carnally. And the dragon waxed
wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that
keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus.
Here Her name is not Sarah nor Mary, but
P For, behold, the LORD
will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his
anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his
sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be
many.
. In Ephesians: q And you has he
quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye
walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power
of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Among
whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the
children of wrath, even as others.
But
God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when
we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;) And hath raised us up
together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should
boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
Wherefore
remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are
called the Uncircumcised by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh
made by hands; That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no
hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he
is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of
partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even
the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself
of two, one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both
unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which
were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access
by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore you are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly
framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom you also are
build together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
R And this is in the
flesh: a type or figure: John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them
to Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come? Or do we look for another? When
the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist has sent us unto you,
saying, Are you he that should come? or look we for another? And in that same
hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil
spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. Then Jesus
answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen
and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the
deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. And blessed
is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. And when the messengers of
John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What
went you out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But
what went you out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which
are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts. But what
went you out for to see? A prophet? Yes, I say unto you, and much more than a
prophet. This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
before your face, which shall prepare your way before you. For I say unto you,
Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the
Baptist: but he that is least in the
S But in the Spirit John has and is now come in
the Spirit of Elijah:
And
he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the
hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in
the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him. It is because of John’s
preaching and baptism, that we that are called to the Election of the Saints of
God ─ come to Godly repentance. For when we hear and believe and
walk in holy truth, we do not sin or need to repent anymore. Therefore John
decreases and Jesus Christ increases.
t Whosoever is born of God does not
commit sin; for his seed remains in them: and they cannot sin, because they are
born of God. In this the children of
God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not
righteousness is not of God, neither they that loves not their brother.
