In Response To: DISTINCTIONS WITH DIFFERENCES: PROPHESYING VIS-A-VIS PROPHETS (RagnarokJack) Jack,
You have called me a false teacher. You say prophecy was done away with 2,000 years ago. You have not and cannot show me scripture to bacck this up.
So you are distorting the truth.
The Bible speaks about the spirit being poured out upon the earth and the young men prophesying and the old men dreaming dreams in the last days.
Are you saying that these two scriptures below are not the truth?
Joe 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Ac 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, 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:
Truth cannot be destroyed, nor changed. Truth is eternal. Truth is truth and forever truth.
If a person does not believe that is up to him, however to say something that the Bible does not say is very misleading and is a lie.
Where is the scripture to back up this unreasonable reasoning of man made doctrine, that is not Biblical.
Romans 3:
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
This is what the Bible tells us about the Truth of Scripture, also about those who distort the scriptures.
Rev 22:
18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Ro 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Ro 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
I do not represent any group or denomination but stand to defend the truth of scripture against false teaching wherever it comes from. If you think I am wrong show me and I will have to go wherever the Truth of God leads me. So teach me by the word and not by your own reaasoning that does not agree with scripture. Every Prophet and every prophecy must line up with scripture or it is wrong. God will never say anything through a Prophet that is not in agreement with the scripture fo the Bible.

In Response To: After you hear from God - Don't be Deceived by words of an OLD PROPHET (GLarrabee) ....Listen to the words of God's son who forcefully warned about the pseudoprophetes(lying prophets)who willfully distort God's prophecies to decieve. Over the past two thousand years those lying prophets have both been old and young men and women.
You can read about this warning in the biography of Mathew chapter seven.

In Response To: After you hear from God - Don't be Deceived by words of an OLD PROPHET (GLarrabee) Lets see what the Bible speaks about modern day Prophesy.
Yes there has been false prophets for 2,000 years and they speak from pulpets around the world in many denominational churches.
According to the following scriptures or any other Bible scriptures you may find you decide whether Prophecy has been done away with. For me based upon Scripture I say that anyone who says Prophecy is not for today and has been done away with is a False Teacher and is grieving the Holy Spirit, because the Spirit wants to speak.
In this day we need hear the Word of the Prophet to be in alignment with God's writen word and God's perfect will individually to do the Lord's will and purpose to bring forth the Kingdom of God.
I am not saying such a teacher is an intentional False Teacher. I am saying he is believing some traditional church teaching that is based upon the tradition of man and not the Bible.
Every Seminary, every preacher, every evangelist and every Bible teacher should be tested according to the world of God.
Every one who speaks of Bible Truth must be tested with the scripture if it is true or not. That includes me.
I am not saying I know everything and don't say I am always right, but I try to know what I believe and why I believe according to Bible scripture, in the total theme of the Bible. No private verse is for any private interpretation it must be put in the context of the total Bible.
Test every word I write or speak with the truths of the Bible. If I am wrong bring me to task and show me where I am wrong. I will change, because I have no choice, if I am seeking only the Truth.
Now read what the New Testament speaks about Prophets, Prophecy and tongues.
Acts 2:17
'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
Acts 2:18
And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.
1Co 13:9
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
1Co 14:1
Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
1Co 14:39
Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.
Re 10:11 - Show Context
And he said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."
Re 11:3
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
Whay wasn't Haggai stoned for this false teaching. If a modern prophet were to say such a thing people would be calling for him to be stoned.
Haggai 2:21
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
Was Haggai a false Prophet?
He spoke these words to Zerubbabel and they did not happen in Zerubbabel’s life time.
No Haggai was not a false prophet. He was prophesying into the future, to the days that we are now living.
In the near future Zerubbabel, will be given the signet ring of authority among the nations of the world. I believe this will be to re-gather the wealth of the world to bring forth the Kingdom of God and for building the Temple to be occupied by the Lord Jesus Christ.

DISTINCTIONS WITH DIFFERENCES: PROPHESYING VIS-A-VIS PROPHETS

In Response To: After you hear from God - Don't be Deceived by words of an OLD PROPHET (GLarrabee) Yes, the account in Kings informs the reader about the old prophet who was a lying prophet and the other prophet who was decieved by the old lying prophet. The decieved prophet lost his life as a result of the prophesying of the old lying prophet.
If the lord Christ had this in mind when he gave admonition about the Lying Prophets it certainly was a good paradigm to draw on.
Now prophesying in the Christian era is simply uttering prophecies God caused to be spoken. The lord Christ uttered three major prophecies concerning the future when he was on earth. Those three major prophecies are recorded in the so-called synoptic biographies. Specifically, Mathew chapter twenty-four and verse three has the disciples asking three questions.
The lord Christ answered those questions, and the text of Mathew couches a warning not to be decieved by anyone that saw fulfillment of prophecy in wars, earthquakes, famines, pestilences, lawlessness, etc., for these things were not only the peculiarities of that era's Yehudim apocalypticism, but as history testifies, they are simply repeating patterns.
Those three prophecies of Christ are: (i) the destruction of Jerusalem, (ii) one Sign only as harbinger to Christ's Coming, (iii) the End of the Age, which is otherwise called the Second Coming. The first prophecy was fulfilled in 70 AD; two prophecies remain, namely, a cosmic disruption which darkens the sun, and the End of the Age aka the Second Coming.
Now God gave special gifts to believers in the first century to demonstrate to onlookers that his approval now rested with the disciples of his son and no longer with the nation called Israel. There were the gifts of, apostles, of legitimate languages (called tongues), and prophesying...to name but three. This particular form of prophesying never contradicted the major long range prophecies uttered by the lord Christ; the form of this special gift of prophesying was limited to future short range events, often pertaining to individuals.
As the apostles died so too did the gift of the apostles die. Along with the demise of the gift of apostles was the demise of all the gifts, including prophesying.
Since late in the first century the only biblical form of prophesying which still flourishes is the repeating of God's spoken words of prophecy...and which eventually came to be in written form. Specifically, those prophecies are:(i) a massive cosmic disruption when the Sun darkens, etc. and (ii) the End of the Age which flows as cosmic chaos worsens.
Another popular form of prophesying since the first century is that executed by mystics. The mystic alleges supernatural experience as to the basis of his presumptuous authority to addend scripture....or to interpret it.
Some mystics represent themselves as the avenue of 'new light' from the Lord Yehovah; still others claim to represent 'new truths' via the lord Christ. In the realm of Christendom most mystics attribute some special exegetical comprehension occulted from humanity by God himself. They allege that God has hidden something from the simple man and woman to whom scriptures was addressed...and alas...God has now provided a new mystical prophet to reveal what has heretofore been occulted!!
While some mystics have managed to make the occassional accurate prediction their prophetic portfolio is riddled with failed prophecies. Their excuses for failed prophecies are myriad, ranging from everyone else misunderstanding to arithmetical blunders.
One thing only is required to understand scripture. Literacy! The simple man and woman needs no human priest, nor pastor, nor commentator, nor exegete to comprehend the simple message of scripture. Neither does the reader of scripture need a mystical modern self-declared prophet to interpret prophecy for him. The simple man can read scripture and make his own determinations on all matters.

Now if you prefer to remain baby-like and utter prophecies that fail, then that's your prerogative. Then if you manage to seduce others unfortunate or naive enough to believe you, then that's their prerogative too.

This is prophecy that was Given to me in 1980 Test it with the Bible scripture
Posted By: GLarrabee
Date: Monday, 15 October 2007, 3:40 a.m. In order to put this into and article, I changed the meaning from personal to include all who will believe. Becasue The word of God is true to everyone and he will not tell me something that he willnot tell others. So this truth can be yours if you believe it. Not because I say so but because God says so in his word and through his Holy Spirit.
We must wake up from our sleep. This is the time to turn to the Lord. Come forth in power under the anointing. The Lord has made His spirit available to you, under the power and authority of His anointed Branch. The spirit will be upon you as the Lord's manchild, the Branch first must abide in the vine in perfect unity, all of one mind and accord.
Stand up sons and daughters of God for He is calling you for a special purpose. He will empower you with His spirit to stand as that perfect man before the nations and proclaim the Word of the Lord unto them.
The Lord wants to place His anointing upon you. This anointing will break all bonds, and break every yoke that has held you down. Every hindrance of every kind will be removed, the mountains will become plains under the power of your anointing.
The Lord is speaking, and you must listen. He wants His people to step forth in His power and authority. Did He not say that you would be the head and not the tail? The Lord is asking you to step forth, and He will place Himself under your command to fulfill everything that He has spoken.
But this takes faith and trust in His Word, to stand unto the end on His Word regardless of circumstances and how it may look. He will provide a way where there is no way.
The Lord is going to do mighty things through His people, even though they don't believe or accept it at this time.
The Kingdom of God is before you. We are to bring it forth in the name of Jesus. He has placed the kingdom upon our shoulders; His people to bring it forth in His name, in the name of Jesus Christ. This is not to be done by the natural power of man, but by the power of the spirit of the Lord. Faith and obedience will lead total submission to His authority and power, that He then is able to channel through us.
All that is written above is from me leading up to that which is below, below is the prophetic message received from God in 1980.
Gary Larrabee
10-15-07
He will lead us all upon the path that He has chosen for us; He has a narrow path for each one individually to walk upon. He is able to keep you, and if you have the will, He will; And no one will be able to keep you from the path He has chosen for you. Trust the Lord to make you pillars that can be counted upon. None of you will go in your own strength. All who wait patiently upon the Lord will be made strong in the house that the Lord builds. A way will be opened, and you will know when to step out.
Keep your eyes upon our savior, your Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Look to no one else, don't look back, only look to the future. Don't even look to your own understanding. Put your faith and trust in the Lord and every mountain will be made into a plain.
The Lord is trusting you and I, His people, to do a mighty work. We can and will trust Him. This will be like a trust fund arrangement that will bring all things that anyone needs. Everyone will find what the Lord has placed for them. The position the Lord has chosen for each one will fit no one else, and each plan the Lord has for each one will be carried out by the mighty hand of God.
The wisdom of the Lord and boldness is for the taking, and will be given to each one. Guidance through the power, His spirit will keep everyone in perfect step.
The Lord has ordained you, and has chosen you all for a special work of His doing. All those that are lowly and meek will be brought to a place where the Lord can speak and lead them through a prophet. Everyone will enter into a covenant to do only the Lord's will. The fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit will be upon those the Lord has chosen, and we will all walk together, talk together, and uphold one another.
God's people are called from the lowly, but he will exalt them, and they will not be ashamed. His people are the servants of mankind who will be lifted up. But the proud and uplifted hand will be drawn back.
The Lord's people are blessed as He has counted each one of us worthy that places Himself in the realm of trust, faith, hope, and charity. Each one is to follow the leading of their heart and not their mind. Anyone who leans on the Lord for understanding will be shown the way.
Many will be touched and follow after the Lord's overcomers, but others will want to slay those chosen of the Lord. The Lord will protect them, and give them power over their enemy by the blood of Christ and having no fear of death. They will be honored by the Lord, and will give honor back to the Lord. Each one will know that it is the Lord's conquest.
All direction will be given by the Lord with explicit instructions that will never vary from His written words in the Holy Bible. The scriptures are to be checked regarding all things spoken through a prophet. Even through a prophet the Lord will never vary from his written Word. God's words are pure and they shall be adhered to.
The battle is not really ours, but the Lord's. All the Lord needs are His people to be as empty vessels that He can move around at His will. If we totally submit and honor the Lord, not even a thought will come contrary to the thoughts of the Lord. The Lord will hedge each one in, and plant them solidly in the spirit with His grace. The Lord's hand is upon each one, and all His power over the earth will direct Him.
Directions for the job the Lord is sending each one will be given one day at a time. Every morning we are to arise, praise the Lord, Glorify His name and see the works of the Lord. There will be no mistakes, for He, the Lord, will do it.
All that the Lord uses have to be in strict obedience, or correction will come. The Lord dwells among His people, and will guide them. But not listening to the Lord will cause a heavy heart to ascend upon His people. All that the Lord uses have to be in strict obedience or correction will come. All that love God's Word will understand and know what He says and know what He means.
Following the Lord is a fine line that many cannot adhere to. If God's people hear His voice, He will lead them. But a rebellious spirit is worse than witchcraft.
All things are created by God, and are for the benefit of the Lord's people. They will praise Him, and thank Him for the things He has laid before them.
The path God has chosen for each person is laid out clearly. It may be rough at times and some may come against us, but don't be discouraged. Your faith will make you the overcomer. We will be the overcomers, and all that follow after the overcomers of the Lord will be rewarded.
The Lord has many things ahead for each one; not only this, but many things He has told you in His time. But remember the Lord's time may not be your time, and your time is not His time. All things will be stopped if they come against God's time. The Lord will do even more through you, but the present well has to be filled first. When the job is done, look for another duty the Lord has for you.
Each person has a job the Lord has chosen for them, but they must not step out on their own. This will bring confusion. The path will be cleared for each one by waiting and listening. To clear the path, God will deal with each person and each situation in His own way. And all obstacles will be removed.
Keep your heart and mind focused upon the Lord, and you will do well and stay upon the correct path. Think things through, trusting the Lord to show you the correct way.
Each one is to walk day by day and walk in peace. Even the words you speak will be prepared by the Lord. The Lord has sent you, and your enemies will bow before you. They will not come against you as they think, but will recede and draw back.
No one is to retrace their steps. That is past, and you have already covered this ground once. Don't consider the thoughts and plans of others, but rely only upon your heart. Let no one say to you that God has told them to tell you. The Lord himself will speak to you. Be obedient to the Lord's Word. Don't get confused about His Word. God's Word is a living Word. The same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Check everything with the Bible. Then only believe and receive the word of faith.
Let nothing catch anyone unaware. Listen and all things will be revealed by the Lord. Do not look at things as they appear to be, but look at each person and each situation through the spiritual eyes of that still small voice. The hearing and seeing of your heart.
Each person coming to you will be accountable to the Lord for every word that he speaks. In times of trouble many come with emotional words of their own imaginations. When this happens stay on an even keel, still walking and talking to the Lord in faith. Do not go or commit to anything without full understanding.
Don't let anyone control you in any way. You are on a path provided by the Lord. Don't humble yourself to anyone's self desire. For you are a child of the King. If any problem arises, be not afraid, the waters will part for you. The Lord has His angels that control everything about you.
Whenever you feel troubled, think upon the Lord, think upon the Lord, and the answers will come. Through the spirit of the Lord, you will receive strength, power and light.
All things that the Lord speaks to any of his people will be according to the recorded Word of God in the Bible. Sift every thought with the Word of God to discern what He has spoken.
All things spoken in the name of the Lord shall be adhered to. The fruit of the vine crushed under His feet, and His robe covered with blood is Vengence that can come upon the people.
Many who have accepted the Lord have not fully trusted upon His name. Trust no one, for they may appear righteous, and still be deceiving. The devil has power over those that will be deceived, but he has no power to deceive God's people. The Lord will stand against him.
The Holy Spirit is our guide, our director. The Lord is always with us in spirit. You will receive instructions, and His will shall be carried out. He wants people to give their wills and desires over to Him so that He may rule through them, and use their bodies to do His will on earth.
The Lord said, Did not my father work in the old testament? Did I not work in the new testament, and does not the Holy Spirit now work upon the earth?
Be strong, listen to no man, but only unto the Lord, and prove everything by His Word. The Word was spirit preached, spirit written, and the books are closed.
Be assured, all that follow after the Lord in His perfect will by totally submitting their own wills, will always be led upon the right path. At times this path is not easy, but always know that there is a reason and the Lord will see you through all trials. The valleys are deep and treacherous, but the Lord made a way. Those that walk with the Lord shall be preserved, and nothing shall harm them. Walk in faith, for through the Lord endurance will be given to His people.
Lift your voice in praise to the Lord for the victory that is to be won. Put on the whole armour of God, and let the weak say, He is strong. A battle must be fought before a victory, and we are in a battle for the Lord's kingdom.
The battle will be fought by the saints of God, and they will prevail. Let the weak be overtaken through the strength of the Lord, and put the enemy down. It is the Lord's power and strength. The gift of God is that all things shall be accomplished. Even if some arms have to be lifted up as Moses's were lifted up. Lift them up, and hold your hand high. The strength is not of you, but it is of the Lord.
If the Lord sends you, then you shall go, and if the Lord says, stop, you will stop. Directions will be given to you and you only. It is the Lord that directs your path, and not those about you.
Be cautious and watch and pray always. Many thoughts can enter the human mind that are not of the Lord, and because of this many people can be misguided. The heart belongs to the Lord, not the mind, the mind can trick many people. When you speak, listen to the things that testify of the heart, by the spirit of grace. This is a mystery that the Lord has given his people, that they should understand and cast out thoughts that are not of Him..
The scriptures will not be changed, so listen to every word. The words will be imbedded in the Lord's people. For He is the resurrection and the life, and they will live by this Word. The fullness of time is now, and the Lord's people will be filled, and know the the Lord Jesus is the God of heaven and earth.
The Lord does not promise His people an easy walk. Did they not condemn Him as he walked upon this earth? Shall you also not be condemned? Did they not speak of Him as a winebibber and a glutton? And shall they not you also? The servant is not above his master.
All the sons of God shall listen to the spirit that gives utterance. The utterance speaks to the Lord, and He said He would answer. It shall not be tampered with, and neither shall it be cast out of His churches.
The letter of the law shall not prevail. His children have the law written within, and they will obey. He will not cushion His people. They shall hear Him face to face, and will know that the words spoken will have power, and are of the Spirit of the Lord.
It is an easy thing to walk with the Lord when you have walked in obedience. But disobedience shall be corrected with a rod of iron. If they walk with the Lord, He will answer with love, mercy, and kindness. If they abide in the vine, and He abides in the branches, they can bear fruit.
They will pluck, and they will eat in plenty and multiply. As the tree shoots forth fruit, is not this seed replanted, and does not another tree grow? He said this is the sowing of the Word, He has given you a picture.
You all will counsel many through words that the Lord speaks through you. Have no confidence in fleshly understanding. It is what is revealed in your heart that gives life. It is only through the Lord that they will be satisfied.
No one will lead God's people that He has not placed there. Many shall be brought in.
They shall all hear and they shall all know. The Lord provokes no one to anger. His people shall be meek, and through love shall touch many.
What the Lord puts before you will unfold from day to day, and you shall see the blessings of the Lord.
RMN Readers,
God Bless you and let this be the anointing to receive the power and the authority to do what the Lord has for you to do.
Commit your way to the Lord, and wait upon him to fulfill his word in your life.
The prophecy you have just read I believe is instructions and marching orders to entering into the army of God. The Lord said command me to fulfill the words I have spoken to you. The Lord has placed himself at the command of his people through prayer. When we hear the Holy Spirit, the thought we think are thoughts directed by God lead our prayers in what we should pray for and when we pray we pray the things that God is wanting to do. So this is abiding in Christ and his abiding in us.
Jesus speaks about the vine and the BRANCH in John 15:
he is speaking to you,
16. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

How the Fig Tree, ARK of Covenant - Plumb Line used are part of Kingdom of God
Posted By: GLarrabee
Date: Tuesday, 16 October 2007, 12:05 a.m. How the Fig Tree, The ARK of the Covenant and Plumb Line are all used to build the Kingdom of God
The people of Israel today are properly called Jews because they are the people who belong to the original tribes of Judah, Benjamin and part of the Tribe of Levi. The Jewish people who are in Israel today are fulfilling their destiny as a people. The Jews were the leading edge of the full house of Israel. The full House of Israel is made up of all the 12 original tribes. The number split when each of Joseph’s two sons became two for what was before only the Tribe of Joseph so now there are 13 tribes of Israel.
When the Tribe of Joseph became the tribes of Ephraim and of these two tribes instead of one tribes of Joseph we now have the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
The Jewish people are only a small part of the full-house of Israel. The Bible speaks of these people being so many that the sand of the sea and the stars of heaven are compared to their number. The 10 northern tribes are still scattered among all nations and races. Man may not know who the true people of Israel are but the Lord does.
There is truth in both the spiritual Israel and the National Israel we see today as Jewish people. Both of these prophecies will be fulfilled in every way. We may not have it all figured out how it will happen yet but we are gaining.
It appears that the white Anglo-Saxon people we have been taught to call Gentiles are in fact the 10 tribes of Israel who are about to be joined with the original tribes of Judah Benjamin and part of the Tribe of Levi, the people called Jews even by the other tribes since their separation in 931 B. C. The will not be Gentiles grafted in but they will be re-gathered into the House of Israel. The ones who thought they were the wild branches will find that they separated themselves from the original tree and are now finding their way back home again.
There is still the grafting in of the gentiles which must include the Asian, Indian, mixed and black races of the world. It also seems that there are people of all races who can trace there lineages to the Jews, so this is probably true of the other tribes also. It should make no difference to any believer whether he or she is related by lineage or by Spirit to the House of Israel. The most important is to be Spiritually connected to Jesus Christ the God of Heaven and earth and let him sort things out according to his original plan that has not changed since creation.
The story of bringing forth the Kingdom of God is the story of God gathering his people the whole house of Israel out of the nations and re-establishing the Kingdom of all the tribes. This will fulfill the scriptures of the tabernacle of David being re-established.
Amos 9:11
11. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
The Theme of the scriptures from Abram to the establishment of the Kingdom is centered around the seed of Abraham, the Hebrew people. Ezekiel 37 speaks the regathering of these tribes when he speaks of the bones of Israel coming together again. Ezekiel 39: 22-29
22. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23. And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26. After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27. When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28. Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Jesus was speaking of this re-gathering of Israel when he spoke of the Budding of the Fig Tree
As we look at the prophecies that Jesus gave in the 24th chapter of Matthew;
The "Budding of the Fig Tree" will be fulfilled by the revelation of the Branch, and by the seven trumpet judgments to release the bondages of the people from all bondages including religion, all types of slavery and control, including political prisoners, innocent prisoners, religious bondages, and the controls the world system has put upon the people of the world.
This is really a Mystery that we may not have solved entirely know as Mystery Babylon.
The first step is see this fulfillment will be when the some of the body of Christ comes into unity as a perfect man. They will be the over-comers so that can be used by the Lord and submitted to the leading of the Lord for each to do their part in fulfilling the scriptures in the reuniting of Judah and Israel. This will only be done with total submission to being lead by the spirit rather than by the wisdom of man.
As Jesus stood outside the temple on the temple square in Jerusalem, he prophesied to the disciples about the destruction of the temple that stood near.
This prophecy was fulfilled with the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Later upon the Mount of Olives his disciples came to him and asked when these things would happen.
They then asked; what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world? Jesus answered the disciples by telling them that many would come in his name; yet deceiving many. The greatest deception of Christ has been by many who say they are representing the church of Jesus Christ. They have done this by their lies about the meaning of the world of God. Again this may not have been intentional in some cases, but because they did not understand how the spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit works, through tongues, prophecy and all the gifts of the Holy spirit. They try to do God’s work without having a personal relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ by way of the comforter or Holy Spirit Jesus sent to minister upon the earth in this time since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He spoke of all the wars to come, and the famines and pestilences. He described the hollocost of the tribulation period, and how the angels would gather his elect from one end of heaven to another.
In all of this Jesus answered the question about signs of his coming, but had not answered the question of when this would happen. This part of the question, of when this would happen was answered in a parable of a fig tree.
Matthew 24:32-34
32. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, Know that it is near, even at the doors.
34. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled.
Here Jesus is speaking of a great sign that will be a sign to the generation. Just before Christ comes again to the earth with all the saints with him.
His elect is gathered from the ends of heaven to come with him again to planet earth.
In understanding we need to talk about the Ark of the covenant and the TOKENS OF PROMIS.
For a deeper understanding of the sign of the fig tree and it's meaning, Let us examine closely the tokens that were placed in the Ark of the Covenant.
What is a token of promise?
Two tokens of promise were:
1. The sign of the rainbow is a token of a promise.
2. The blood, is a token of the promise of the pass-over.[Exodus 12:13]
There are 3 more tokens of promise that have not yet been fulfilled. These three tokens of promise were place in the Ark of the Covenant.
What were the tokens of promise placed in the Ark of the Covenant?
1. Manna
2. Ten Commandments
3. Arron’s Rod that budded.
Why were these tokens placed in the Ark of the Covenant?
Explanation of where the Ark of the Covenant was placed:
In fulfilling the ordinances of God's covenant with the children of Israel, there was made a tabernacle and in the first area was the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread. This we are told was called the Sanctuary. Then there was a veil, then the tabernacle called the Holiest of all, or the Holy of Holies. Inside was a gold censer and the Ark overlaid with God. Inside the Ark was the golden pot which had placed inside of it manna. The Rod of Aarons, that budded and the ten commandments.
The meaning and the fulfillment of the tokens placed in the Ark of the Covenant.
[1] The Ten Comandments. This token of the Ten Commandments was fulfilled when Jesus was crucified on a dead tree, for the atonement of sin, and then resurrected into a new resurrected life and body where he literally came back not in body form but by spirit as the comforter to minister to his body of beoievers.
[2] The Rod of Aarons, the token of the Fig Tree will be fulfilled when the dead rod shoots forth into its Branch. This is the International BRANCH of the Lion of Judah when the Lord brings the overcomers of Christ into unity as the anointed BRANCH of the Lords planting.
[3] The Manna hidden in the Ark of the Covenant will be fulfilled when the word of the Lord is given out from Jerusalem on a daily basis. The Word of the Lord must Go Forth from Jerusalem. This will be done through the two witness’s it seems until the Temple is built. What will happen when the Lord appears is yet to be revealed.
Many correctly have said that the Fig Tree is a sign to the nation of Israel. Scripture does indeed use a Fig Tree for a sign to the nation of Israel.
The Fig Tree stands for the return of Israel and Judah together as the Full House of Israel when the Lord establishes his kingdom through his people the International Branch of the Lion of Judah.
Micah gives us a glimpse of the change for a worldly system to Heavenly system of Government.
Micah 4:1-7
1. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
2. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks’: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
5. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
6. In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
7. And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
The Fig Tree is connected to the unity of the Body of Christ through the International BRANCH of the Lion of Judah, spoken by Isaiah chapter 11: verses I to 5.
This speaks of this BRANCH as a single person, because the BRANCH is in total unity, all of one mind and accord. Every one is totally submitted not to anything other than God and being totally obedient to his perfect will. God will set up a standard for the world to see in the working of his way of governing through the seven eyes upon one stone. This is the Plumb Line principle in action.

Is Free Enterprise the Economic System of the Kingdom of God?
Posted By: GLarrabee
Date: Tuesday, 16 October 2007, 6:25 p.m. Is Free Enterprise the Economic System of the Kingdom of God?
In the Kingdom of God there will be a new drive and a motivation. This will be a driving force of an entirely new economic system from what the earth has seen.
Today the world economic systems are made up of a system of greed, selfishness, and a striving to win at all costs. All prestige, integrity, and credibility is based on ones ability to gain wealth. Today every citizen is placed in a position to compete with all the other citizens of the world for the basics of survival, as well as the wealth and abundance.
Under this system ones integrity is not an asset but a liability. Ones integrity costs financially, if ones is to keep his personal high values.
Although this system is a motivation for greed and dishonesty, it has been the inspiration that has led to the worlds inventions and technologies of today. Notice all the industries of defense and preparation of war that have built the economies of the world.
At first glance this looks like a wonderful system and many argue that the free enterprise system is the best system and the only one that really works for the world economies. The claim is made that this system has raised the living standards of all people. In reality it has created an elitist system.
Although the Bible says that money is the root of all evil this system is motivated by the love of money. Let us investigate to see what the results have been?
The first thing we see is that there is a large gap between those that have wealth and power, and those who have nothing in the way of material things, no power, or personal influence.
So this elitist system has raised up a society of people who gained prestige through there own personal greed and dishonesty to become the leaders and the power brokers of the entire world. They have created secret societies, associations and multi-national corporations to do all sorts of evil deeds, while they try to wash themselves clean of any involvement other than the financial gains they obtain.
These influential people control the political, military, medical, financial and the police systems of the world. This has reached into every area of ones life. Now they are putting forth efforts to control the individual families of the world in brainwashing the young to create The world that these elitist see as their utopia.
The result is the creation of our present system where there is no trust and everyone has to watch out for his own safety and security. Society has become very closed where we no longer really know each other or care about each other.
Even many religions and spiritual organizations have become private and closed only to standards of its leaders. The educational systems that operate through the media and communications systems are all motivated to distort certain truths to further their causes.
This is evident in our every day life where rudeness and hostility is the normal rather than the exception. Today everyone individually and corporately have a personal agenda or motivation that is more important to them than the mutual benefits of the entire society corporately.
It appears to me that the world economic systems are at a point of a great power struggle to take absolute control of the entire earth and this power struggle will probably end in There self destruction. This is the cost of judgment and change that is taking place upon the earth to bring forth the Kingdom of God.
In the kingdom of God there will be a new economic system that will be just the opposite of all the principles of good economics as the world sees economics today. This new system will be motivated not by greed or the love of money, but will flourish by being open, honest, sharing, loving others and friendship. No longer will there be power struggles of any kind.
With the elimination of greed and hostility, there will no longer be any need for military defense systems, security of any type, or police forces we now see prominent through out the whole earth.
There will no longer be the love of money and the accumulation of wealth that has caused the destructive forces we now see upon the earth. Economic growth will no longer be controlled by the raising of interest rates and the constant rise in inflation will be turned to one of deflation.
The most prosperous people within the Kingdom of God will be the givers of their selves as well as the givers of all their personal assets. They will understand the values and the laws of giving. When I say the laws of giving I do not mean like the giving of 10% as a tithe. The most prosperous will give away 100%.
In fact the most prosperous will have everything, but will have no private possessions or private ownership. They will have no savings and they will withhold nothing back for themselves. This lifestyle will make them the people of greatest influence, wisdom, and prestige. They will be admired and truly loved by all those living within the Kingdom of God.
They will have no self agenda but will be servants and givers striving to be the best servant and most giving of all within the kingdom. This servants heart and love of giving will make them great among the Kings and Priests of the Kingdom of God.
No matter how much they try to give, they will never be able to give all that they have coming in. They will not be able to decrease there possessions no matter how much they manage to give away. The wealth will always be increasing to the giver, and they will always receive more than they are able to give.
The reason is that everyone in the Kingdom will realize and recognize the laws of giving and will be giving to others, before one is able to give away what he has, there will be many others who see that a need has been created by the one giving. They will want to fulfill his need even before he has a need.
There will be no hoarding of wealth, assets. Finances will flow like a river without any dam or obstructions. It will be as if giving is the great watering system that makes everything grow and flourish.
We may visualize a huge field made up of the finest trees of every kind into a garden orchard. Each tree is being nurtured by the abundance of water coming from everywhere, from the canals, from the wells, springs, from the sprinkling system, and from the rain.
Every tree has such an abundance that they want to give away water to avoid a flood they cannot contain, so the entire tree population of the entire field is sharing and giving to others equally.
In addition to finances the personal giving, the flowing of services to one another will flow equally among the kingdom. Whenever there is any duty or chore to be done there will be many wanting to perform each service or duty.
The result will be total trust and faith of everyone for each other without any exceptions. Everyone will want to share all their joy and happiness with all the others. There will be a continual party atmosphere of sharing and giving to fulfill the others wants and desires.
There will be such a sense of sharing, everyone will be more than welcome anywhere within the entire Kingdom of God.
Everyone will be honored and recognized as the child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords by all the others. Everyone will be loving and totally trustworthy. The person with the least will always be the one with the most. Everyone in the Kingdom will always be rushing to fill the others need.
We will be biding and living within the glory of the Lord as the love and the spirit of the Holy One of Israel has total freedom to move and express himself in every individual in the entirety of the kingdom all at the same time and all at once.
