This Olivet Discourse Deception study is about the time of Great Tribulation that Messiah described in Matthew 24.

By http://theolivetdiscourse.com

Note: There are several different times of ‘great tribulation‘ that are defined in the New Testament; which do not point to the same period of time.

One was fulfilled when Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the Early Church, killing 10 million saints.

Another was fulfilled during the 1,260 years of the reign of the antichrist Popes of Rome, from 538-1798 A.D.; when they killed over 50 million saints. Read 1,260 Years Of Great Tribulation

The other one will be covered on this study.

The proper context of the Olivet Discourse is not the end times, but rather about Messiah’s proclamation that the temple in Jerusalem would be destroyed.

The disciples understood the prophecy in Daniel 9, and they were inquiring about when Messiah would cause the temple and city to be destroyed, thus ending the latter days of the Jews, who Messiah had just berated in Matthew 23.

Matthew is the only one who wrote about the ‘end of the world’, Luke and Mark did not. It should be rendered as ‘age‘, as it points to the latter days of the Jews, from when they were released from Babylon, until the temple was destroyed in 70 A.D.

Daniel 9:26 warned the Jews that the temple and city would be desolated. Daniel understood this to mean that because the Jews would deliver the Messiah up to be killed, they would be desolated. This is why Daniel was so distraught.

“and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.”

In Matthew 24:20-22, Messiah warned about the coming time of Great Tribulation, which Daniel had foretold:

“And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.“

Note: The command for the saints to flee Judea is very specific to the saints in the first century, and can’t apply to saints in the end times where there is no Judea. Praying that their flight would not be on the Sabbath applies to the first century, when the Jewish leaders would have closed the city gates and prohibited them from walking out of the city; which does not apply to the end times.

Then in Matthew 24:34 Messiah told us that all of the things that He just proclaimed would be fulfilled in that generation:

“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.”

Some people dismiss His words by saying that He was not referring to that generation, but His words to the Jews of His day reveal that He was indeed talking about them:

For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. Luke 11:30

But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Luke 17:25

From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. Luke 11:51

Because people don’t understand the terrible calamity that happened to the Jews in the first century, they assign the fulfillment to the end times.

But as you will see, this was an intense time of suffering for the Jews, who had rejected the Messiah. When Messiah was being led to be crucified, He said:

“But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.” Luke 23:28

Note Luke’s explanation:

“For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” Luke 21:22

The days of vengeance are from Elohim against the apostate Jews, not some end times antichrist.

Judgment had been threatened by almost all the prophets against that wicked city. They had spoken of its crimes and threatened its ruin. Once Elohim had destroyed Jerusalem and carried the people to Babylon; but their crimes had been repeated when they returned, and Elohim had again threatened their ruin. Particularly was this very destruction foretold by Daniel, in Daniel 9:26-27.

Note Luke’s explanation:

“But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:23-24

This clearly shows that Luke anticipated a fulfillment in terms of Jerusalem only — the final Diaspora, and the trodding down of Jerusalem by the Gentiles.

The word gentiles is speaking of the Romans, who were being used to fulfill prophecy about the desolation of the temple, city and Jews.

So let’s take Messiah at His word and see how in fact His words were fulfilled, when the people of the prince, the Roman army, invaded Judea to desolate the temple, the city of Jerusalem, and the Jewish people.

Most Christians severely underestimate the desolation of the Jews in the first century, not understanding how Messiah caused the Roman army to cause calamity unlike any other time in history.

Notice that it says “nor ever shall be“.  If this time of Great Tribulation was in fact fulfilled in the last days before Messiah returned, then there would be no more time to have another time of great tribulation; and Messiah’s explanation does not make sense.

Instead the tribulation of 70 A.D., would be followed by other times of tribulation, which fits Messiah’s explanation.

This lines up perfectly with Daniel 12:1, “And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.”

The punishment, which was then about to fall upon the city and people, was to be of an exhaustive character. His words utterly forbid the idea of another and more severe national calamity reserved for a future day. (PM)

Here is a summary of what happened, as documented by Jewish historian Josephus:

On the way through Judea to Jerusalem, the Roman army killed Jews by the 10 thousands in the outlying cities. They invaded Judea from the north, marching along the coast, and killing many – 18,000 at Askelon alone.

The Roman army surrounded Jerusalem, cutting off the food supply. Warring factions inside the city destroyed the granaries. This led to a severe famine, killing many. Josephus records that the famine widened its progress and devoured the people by whole houses and families. The upper rooms were full of women and children dying by famine; and the lanes of the city were full of the dead bodies of the aged.

People killed each other as they fought over food. The most horrible and unbelievable torments were inflicted upon all who were suspected of having any food concealed.

The city was divided against itself with rival groups. The most violent party in the city was the Zealots. These called to their aid a band of blood thirsty Idumeans, who set upon the people who were peaceably inclined, and slaughtered young and old until the outer temple was all of it overflowed with blood, and that day they saw 8500 dead bodies there.

But as for the seditious bands themselves, they fought against each other while trampling upon the dead bodies which lay heaped one upon another, and being filled with a mad rage from those dead bodies under their feet, they became the more fierce. They, moreover, were still inventing pernicious things against each other; and when they had resolved upon anything, they executed it without mercy, and omitted no method of torment or of barbarity.

Josephus also tells of the terrible torments inflicted upon nobles and citizens of the better sort who refused to comply with the demands of the Zealots. Those, after being horribly tortured, were slain, and through fear, none dared bury them. In this way 12,000 of the more eminent inhabitants perished.

The noise of those that were fighting was incessant, both by day and by night; but the lamentations of those that mourned exceeded the noise of the fighting.

The dead bodies were not taken outside the city and buried, for fear of being killed, so they stacked up around the city. The blood of all sort of dead carcases stood in lakes in the holy courts themselves.

Pestilence from unclean conditions caused diseases and death.

One man, with the consent of his family, killed his parents, his children, his wife and himself; to save themselves from a worse fate.

A woman, eminent for her family and her wealth, who, while suffering the ravages of famine, slew her infant son and roasted him, and having eaten half of him, concealed the other half.

Because the food supply was cut off by the Romans, Jews out of desperation would sneak out of the city walls at night to find food. They were captured, tortured and crucified by the Roman army. At one point 500 a night were being crucified on the trees around the city, so that all of the trees had multiple bodies on them. And these bodies were not taken down, but left up there to rot and be eaten by birds and animals.

In 70 A.D. when the people of the prince, the Roman army flooded into Jerusalem, they killed the remaining Jews with the sword, trampling over dead bodies.

Birds, dogs and wild animals, ate the flesh of the fallen.

15,000 fugitive Jews were killed by the Romans, and the number of those that were forced to leap into the Jordan was prodigious. The whole country through which they fled was filled with slaughter, and Jordan could not be passed over, by reason of the dead bodies that were in it.

97,000 were taken captive and sold cheaply to places like Egypt, as if back into bondage.

At the end of the siege in 70 A.D., there were 1.1. million dead Jews, none of which were buried.

Their bodies were stacked in the city and fallen in the temple. Their bodies filled all of the trees outside the city. Blood no doubt was everywhere. Wild animals and birds of prey feasted on the dead bodies.  The scene and stench had to be intense, unlike anything ever seen before or after.

Of this period of great tribulation Jewish historian Josephus says, in the introduction of his ‘Wars of the Jews‘ historical documentary.

“It had come to pass that our city Jerusalem had arrived at a higher degree of felicity than any other city under the Roman government, and yet at last fell into the sorest of calamities again. Accordingly it appears to me that the misfortunes of all men from the beginning of the world, if they be compared to those of the Jews, are not so considerable as they were.”

The sufferings of the Jews had this peculiar characteristic, namely, that they were mostly inflicted upon themselves by the warring factions within the city, concerning whom Josephus says in another place:

“It is impossible to go distinctly over every instance of these men’s iniquity. I shall, therefore, speak my mind here at once briefly: That neither did any other city ever suffer such miseries, nor did any age ever breed a generation more fruitful in wickedness than this was, from the beginning of the world” (Wars V. 10:5).

Messiah had warned about the bloodshed that would come on this generation.

“And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Luke 21:24

This fulfilled the Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers, when the wicked tenants killed the son of the vineyard owner.

“But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’ So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those vinedressers and give the vineyard to others.” Luke 20:14-15

This fulfilled Messiah’s words of Woe to the scribes and the Pharisees.

“Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.” Matthew 23:34-36

Recall what the Jewish leaders said when they handed Messiah over to be crucified:

“And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” Matthew 27:25

As so it was, as the Roman army flooded into the city and killed 100’s of thousands of Jews by the sword. And those who were captured were sold into slavery.

Titus wanted to save the temple, but the Roman soldiers were so enraged at the wicked Jews, that they tore it down brick by brick, to be able to capture all of the gold.

This fulfilled Messiah’s words in Matthew 24:1-2, “Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

Video: Rome and Jerusalem at War – The destruction of the Jewish Temple

.

The following information is from Philip Mauro’s well-documented work, ‘The Seventy Weeks and the Great Tribulation – A Study of the Last Two Visions of Daniel, and of the Olivet Discourse of the Lord Jesus Christ.’

The Jewish historian Josephus devotes nearly two hundred large pages (they would fill upwards of four hundred ordinary size) to the account of the events of’ those ‘days of vengeance’.

We can refer to but a very few of those tragic events; but, inasmuch as not many of our readers have access to the history of Josephus, we believe we are rendering them a service in giving the best idea we can, in small compass, of the happenings of those times.

After the retreat of Roman army leader Cestius, there was a slaughter of about 10,000 Jews at Damascus; and then, it being evident that war with the Romans was inevitable, the Jews began making preparations to defend Jerusalem.

At that time Josephus, the writer of this history, was appointed general of the armies in Galilee. He seems to have had great ability and success as a soldier, though he was finally overpowered and captured by the Romans. Concerning one of his military operations his translator says’ I cannot but think this stratagem of Josephus to be one of the finest that ever was invented and executed by any warrior whatsoever.

At this point the emperor Nero appointed Vespasian, a valiant and experienced general, to the task of subduing the Jews; and Vespasian designated his son Titus to assist him. They invaded Judea from the north, marching along the coast, and killing many–18,000 at Askelon alone. Thus Galilee was all over filled with fire and blood; nor was it exempt from any kind of misery or calamity (III 4:1).

The incidents of this siege were terrible; and among them were events which forcibly recall the Lord’s words, But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days. The Romans were so enraged by the long and fierce resistance of the Jews that they spared none, nor pitied any. Many, moreover, in desperation, killed themselves.

The life of Josephus was spared in a manner which seems miraculous (III 8:4-7), and he was taken captive to Vespasian, to whom he prophesied that both he and Titus his son would be Caesar and emperor.

Josephus was with Titus during the subsequent siege of Jerusalem, in which the atrocities and miseries reached a limit impossible to be exceeded on earth. Only the state of the lost in hell could be worse.

After Jotapata fell, Joppa was taken, and then Tiberias and Taricheae on Lake Gennesaret. Thousands were killed, and upwards of 30,000 from the last named place alone were sold into slavery. Having now completely subdued Galilee, Vespasian led his army to Jerusalem.

For a right understanding of Matthew 24:15-21 it is important to know that the Roman armies were, for more than a year, occupied with the devastation of the provinces of Galilee and Judea, before Jerusalem was besieged. It should be noted also that Christ’s first warnings to flee were to them which be in Judea (#Mt24:16).

This makes it perfectly certain that the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, which was the appointed signal for them which be in Judea to flee into the mountains, was not an idol set up in the inner sanctuary of the Temple. For the desolation of Judea was completed long before Jerusalem and the Temple were taken.

At the time Vespasian led his armies to Jerusalem, that doomed city was in a state of indescribable disorder and confusion insomuch that, during the entire siege, the Jews suffered far more from one another inside the walls than from the enemy outside.

Josephus says there were disorders and civil war in every city, and all those that were at quiet from the Romans turned their hands one against another. There was also a bitter contest between those that were for war, and those that were desirous for peace (IV 3:2).

Josephus further tells of the utter disgrace and ruin of the high priesthood, the basest of men being exalted to that office; and also of the profanation of the sanctuary.

The most violent party in the city was the Zealots. These called to their aid a band of blood thirsty Idumeans, who set upon the people who were peaceably inclined, and slaughtered young and old until the outer temple was all of it overflowed with blood, and that day they saw 8500 dead bodies there.

Among the slain was Ananias, formerly high priest, a venerable and worthy man, concerning whom Josephus said:

“I should not mistake if I said that the death of Ananias was the beginning of the destruction of the city, and that from this very day may be dated the overthrow of her wall, and the ruin of her affairs; that being the day whereon they saw their high priest, and the procurer of their preservation, slain in the midst of their city. * * *

And I cannot but think it was because God had doomed this city to destruction, as a polluted city, and was resolved to purge His sanctuary with fire, that He cut off these, their great defenders, while those that a little before had worn the sacred garments and presided over the public worship, were cast out naked to be the food of dogs and wild beasts.

Now after these were slain the Zealots and the Idumeans fell upon the people as upon a flock of profane animals, and cut their throats.”

Josephus also tells of the terrible torments inflicted upon nobles and citizens of the better sort who refused to comply with the demands of the Zealots. Those, after being horribly tortured, were slain, and through fear, none dared bury them. In this way 12,000 of the more eminent inhabitants perished (IV 5:3). We quote further:

“Along all the roads also vast numbers of dead bodies lay in heaps; and many who at first were zealous to desert the city chose rather to perish there; for the hopes of burial made death m their own city appear less terrible to them. But those zealots came at last to that degree of barbarity as not to bestow a burial either on those slain in the city or on those that lay along the roads; as if at the same time that they defiled men with their wicked actions they would pollute the Deity itself also, they left the dead bodies to putrefy under the sun. (IV. 6. 3).

About this time above 15,000 fugitive Jews were killed by the Romans, and the number of those that were forced to leap into the Jordan was prodigious. The whole country through which they fled was filled with slaughter, and Jordan could not be passed over, by reason of the dead bodies that were in it (IV. 8. 5, 6).

VESPASIAN RECALLED. TITUS PLACED IN CHARGE

At this point Vespasian was called to Rome by reason of the death of the emperor Nero, and the operations against the Jews devolved upon Titus. Vespasian himself was soon thereafter made emperor.

Meanwhile another tyrant rose up, whose name was Simon, and of him Josephus says: Now this Simon, who was without the wall, was a greater terror to the people than the Romans themselves; while the Zealots who were within it were more heavy upon them than both the other.

Those Zealots were led by a tyrant named John; and the excesses of murder and uncleanness in which they habitually indulged are indescribable (see Bk. IV, ch. 9, sec. 10).

In order to overthrow John, the people finally admitted Simon and his followers. From that time onward the civil warfare within the city became more incessant and deadly. The distracted city was now divided into three factions instead of two.

The fighting was carried even into the inner court of the temple; whereupon Josephus laments that even those who came with sacrifices to offer them in the temple were slain, and sprinkled that altar with their own blood, till the dead bodies of strangers were mingled together with those of their own country, and those of profane persons with those of priests, and the blood of all sort of dead carcases stood in lakes in the holy courts themselves (V 1:3).

Surely there never were such conditions as these in any city before or since.

Among the dire calamities which befell the wretched people was the destruction of the granaries and storehouses of food;so that famine was soon added to the other horrors. The warring factions were agreed in nothing but to kill those that were innocent. Says Josephus:

“The noise of those that were fighting was incessant, both by day and by night; but the lamentations of those that mourned exceeded the noise of the fighting. Nor was there ever any occasion for them to leave off their lamentations, because their calamities came perpetually, one upon another.

But as for the seditious bands themselves, they fought against each other while trampling upon the dead bodies which lay heaped one upon another, and being filled with a mad rage from those dead bodies under their feet, they became the more fierce. They, moreover, were still inventing pernicious things against each other; and when they had resolved upon anything, they executed it without mercy, and omitted no method of torment or of barbarity” (V. 2. 5).

At the time described in the preceding paragraphs, the Roman armies had not yet reached the city, and inasmuch as the Passover season now came on, and things seemed to quiet down momentarily, the gates were opened for such as wished to observe the great feast. The translator, in a footnote, says:

“Here we see the true occasion of those vast numbers of Jews that were in Jerusalem during this siege by Titus and who perished therein. For the siege began at the feast of Passover, when such prodigious multitudes of the Jews and proselytes were come from all parts of Judea, and from other countries.

As to the number that perished during this siege, Josephus assures us, as we shall see hereafter, they were 1,100,000, besides 97,000 captives.

This is notable as the last Passover. That joyous feast of remembrance of God’s great deliverance of His people out of Egypt ended in an orgy of blood.

The tyrant John took advantage of this opportunity to introduce some of his followers, with concealed weapons, among the throngs of worshipers in the temple, who slew many, while others were rolled in heaps together, and trampled upon, and beaten without mercy.

And now, though the Roman armies were at their gates, the warring factions began again to destroy one another and the innocent inhabitants.

“For”, says Josephus, they returned to their former madness, and separated one from another, and fought it out; and they did everything that the besiegers could desire them to do. For they never suffered from the Romans anything worse than they made each other suffer; nor was there any misery endured by the city which, after what these men did, could be esteemed new. It was most of all unhappy before it was overthrown; and those that took it did it a kindness. For I venture to say that the sedition destroyed the city, and the Romans destroyed the sedition. This was a much harder thing to do than to destroy the walls. So that we may justly ascribe our misfortunes to our own people (V. 6. 2).

This is the most astonishing feature of this great tribulation; for surely there never was a besieged city whose inhabitants suffered more from one another than from the common enemy. In this feature of the case we see most clearly that it is one of judgment; and that, as the apostle Paul said, the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

At this point the siege began in earnest. Titus, however, sent Josephus to speak to the Jews, offering them clemency, and exhorting them to yield. Josephus made a most earnest plea to them not to resist the might of Rome, pointing out that God was no longer with them.

But it was to no purpose. So the siege proceeded outside, and the famine began to rage inside, insomuch that children pulled out of their parents’ mouths the morsels they were eating, and even mothers deprived their infants of the last bits of food that might have sustained their lives.

The fighters, of course, kept for their own use what food there was, and it seems that they took a keen delight in seeing others suffer. It was a species of madness. They invented terrible methods of torments, such as it would not be seemly for us to describe. And this was done, says Josephus, to keep their madness in exercise (V 10:3).

The most horrible and unbelievable torments were inflicted upon all who were suspected of having any food concealed. The following passage will give an idea of the conditions:

“It is impossible to give every instance of the iniquity of these men. I shall therefore speak my mind here at once briefly:–that neither did any other city suffer such miseries, nor did any age ever breed a generation more fruitful in wickedness than this was, from the beginning of the world. (This forcibly brings to mind the Lord’s own words.) Finally they brought the Hebrew nation into contempt, that they might themselves appear comparatively less impious with regard to strangers. They confessed, what was true, that they were the scum, and the spurious and abortive offspring of our nation, while they overthrew the city themselves, and forced the Romans, whether they would or no, to gain a melancholy reputation by acting gloriously against them; and did almost draw that fire upon the temple which they seemed to think came too slowly” (V. 10. 5).

Under pressure of the famine many Jews went out at night into the valleys in search of food.

These were caught, tortured and crucified in sight of those on the walls of the city. About five hundred every day were thus treated. The number became finally so great that there was not room enough for the crosses, nor crosses enough for the victims. So several were ofttimes nailed to one cross.

A little later the Roman armies encompassed the entire city, so that there was no longer any egress therefrom.

“Then, says Josephus, did the famine widen its progress and devour the people by whole houses and families. The upper rooms were full of women and children dying by famine; and the lanes of the city were full of the dead bodies of the aged. The children also and the young men wandered about the marketplaces like shadows, all swelled with the famine, and fell down dead, wheresoever their misery seized them (V. 12. 3).

Thus did the miseries of Jerusalem grow worse and worse every day.

And indeed the multitude of carcases that lay in heaps, one upon another, was a horrible sight, and produced a pestilential stench which was a hindrance to those that would make sallies out of the city and fight the enemy (VI. 1. 1).

The number of those that perished by famine in the city was prodigious, and their miseries were unspeakable. For if so much as the shadow of any kind of food did anywhere appear, a war was commenced presently, and the dearest friends fell a fighting one another about it.

In this connection Josephus relates in detail the case of a woman, eminent for her family and her wealth, who, while suffering the ravages of famine, slew her infant son and roasted him, and having eaten half of him, concealed the other half.

When presently the seditious Jews came in to search the premises, and smelt the horrid scent of this food, they threatened her life if she did not show them what food she had prepared. She replied that she had saved for them a choice part, and withal uncovered what was left of the little body, saying, Come, eat of this food; for I have eaten of it myself. Do not you pretend to be more tender than a woman, or more compassionate than a mother. Even those desperate and hardened men were horrified at the sight, and stood aghast at the deed of this mother. They left trembling; and the whole city was full of what the woman had done. It must be remembered that all this time the lives of all in the city would have been spared and the city and temple saved, had they but yielded to the Romans. But how then should the Scripture be fulfilled? (see #De 28:56,57)

Soon after this the temple was set on fire and was burned down, though Titus tried to save it. Josephus says:

But as for that house, God had for certain long ago doomed it to the fire; and now that fatal day was come, according to the revolution of ages. It was the tenth day of the month Ab, the day upon which it was formerly burnt by the king of Babylon (VI. 4. 5).

Further Josephus says:

“While the holy house was on fire everything was plundered that came to hand, and ten thousand of those were slain. Nor was there commiseration of any age, or any reverence of gravity; but children, old men, profane persons, and priests were all slain in the same manner.

Moreover many, when they saw the fire, exerted their utmost strength, and did break out into groans and outcries. Perea also did return the echo, as well as the mountains round about Jerusalem, and augmented the force of the noise.”

Yet was the misery itself more terrible than this disorder. For one would have thought that the hill itself, on which the temple stood, was seething hot, as if full of fire on every part, that the blood was more in quantity than the fire, and that the slain were more in numbers than they who slew them. For the ground did nowhere appear visible because of the dead bodies that lay upon it (VL 5. 1).

In describing how a number were killed in a certain cloister, which the soldiers set on fire, Josephus says:

“A false prophet was the occasion of the destruction of those people, he having made a public proclamation that very day that God commanded them to get upon the temple and that they should receive miraculous signs of their deliverance. There was then a large number of false prophets suborned by the tyrants to impose on the people, who announced to them that they should wait for deliverance from God (VI. 5. 2).

In this detail also the Lord’s Olivet prophecy was most literally fulfilled.

When at last the Romans gained entrance into the city, the soldiers had become so exasperated by the stubborn resistance of the Jews, that they could not be restrained from wreaking vengeance upon the survivors.

So they indulged in slaughter until weary of it. The survivors were sold into slavery, but at a very low price, because they were so numerous, and the buyers were few. Thus was fulfilled the word of the Lord by Moses, And there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you (#De 28:68).

Many were put into bonds and sold to slavery in the Egyptian mines, thus fulfilling several prophecies that they should be sold into Egypt again, whence God had delivered them (#Ho 8:13; 9:3).

This fulfills Luke 21:24, “And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations.”

In concluding this part of his history Josephus gives the number of those who perished (a million one hundred thousand) and of those sold into slavery (ninety seven thousand), and explains, as we have already stated, that they were come up from all the country to the feast of unleavened bread, and were on a sudden shut up by an army. And he adds:

“Now this vast multitude was indeed collected out of remote places, but the entire nation was now shut up by fate as in prison, and the Roman army encompassed the city when it was crowded with inhabitants. Accordingly the multitude of those that perished therein exceeded all the destruction’s that either men or God ever brought upon the world” (VI. 9. 4).

Thus ended, in the greatest of all calamities of the sort, the national existence of the Jewish people, and all that pertained to that old covenant which was instituted with glory (2 Corinithians 3:7,9,11), but which was to be done away.

Here may be seen an example of the thoroughness of God’s judgments, when He arises to do His strange work. Judgment must begin at the house of God; and in view of what is brought to our notice in this history of Josephus, how impressive is the question, And if it begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (1 Peter 4:17).

Commentaries on the Abomination of Desolation of Matthew 24:15:

Alfred Edersheim – Life And Times Of Jesus The Messiah

This, together with tribulation to Israel, unparalleled in the terrible past of its history, and unequalled even in its bloody future was about to befall them. Nay, so dreadful would be the persecution that, if Divine mercy had not interposed for the sake of the followers of Christ, the whole Jewish race that inhabited the land would have been swept away. There should have been no flesh saved.

C.H. Spurgeon

The Jews impiously said, concerning the death of Christ, “His blood be on us, and on our children.” Never did any other people invoke such an awful curse upon themselves, and upon no other nation did such a judgment ever fall. We read of Jews crucified till there was no more wood for making crosses;

Albert Barnes’ Notes on the Bible:

There shall be great tribulation. The word tribulation means calamity, or suffering. Lu 21:24 has specified in what this tribulation should consist. “They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled.” That is, until the time allotted for the Gentiles to do it shall be fully accomplished; or as long as God is pleased to suffer them to do it.

The first thing mentioned by Luke is, that they should fall by the edge of the sword. That is, should be slain in war, as the sword was then principally used in war. This was most strikingly fulfilled. Josephus, in describing it, uses almost the very words of our Saviour. All the calamities, says he, which had befallen any nation from the beginning of the world, were but small in comparison with those of the Jews. Jewish Wars, book i., preface,  4.

He has given the following account of one part of the massacre when the city was taken: “And now rushing into the city, they slew whomsoever they found, without distinction, and burnt the houses and all the people who had fled into them. And when they entered for the sake of plunder, they found whole families of dead persons, and houses full of carcasses destroyed by famine; then they came out with their hands empty. And though they thus pitied the dead, they had not the same emotion for the living, but killed all they met, whereby they filled the lanes with dead bodies. The whole city ran with blood, insomuch that many things which were burning were extinguished by the blood.” Jewish Wars, book vi. chap. 8,  5; chap. 9,  2, 3. He adds, that in the siege of Jerusalem, not fewer than eleven hundred thousand perished (Jewish Wars, book vi., chap. 9,  3)–a number almost as great as are in the whole city of London. In the adjacent provinces no fewer than two hundred and fifty thousand are reckoned to have been slain; making in all whose deaths were ascertained, the almost incredible number of one million three hundred and fifty thousand, who were put to death. These were not indeed all slain with the sword. Many were crucified. “Many hundreds,” says he, (Jewish Wars, book vi. Chap. xi Chap. xi. 1) “were first whipped, then tormented with various kinds of tortures, and finally crucified: the Roman soldiers nailing them (out of the wrath and hatred they bore to the Jews) one after one way, and another after another, to crosses, by way of jest, until at length the multitude became so great that room was wanting for crosses, and crosses for the bodies.” So terribly was their imprecation fulfilled–” His blood be on us, and on our children,” Mt 27:25. If it be asked how it was possible for so many people to be slain in a single city, it is answered, that the siege of Jerusalem commenced during the time of the passover, it is estimated that more than three millions were usually assembled. See Josephus, Jewish Wars, book vi., chap. ix.,  3, 4.

A horrible instance of the distress of Jerusalem is related by Josephus. The famine during the siege became so great that they ate what the most sordid animals refused to touch. A woman of distinguished rank, having been plundered by the soldiers, in hunger, rage, and despair, killed and roasted her babe, and had eaten one half of him before the deed was discovered. Jewish Wars, book vi., chap. 3,  3, 4. This cruel and dreadful act was also in fulfillment of prophecy, De 28:53,56-57.

Another thing added by Luke Lu 21:24) was, that “they should be led captive into all nations.” Josephus informs us that the captives taken during the whole war amounted to ninety-seven thousand. The tall and handsome young men Titus reserved for triumph; of the rest, many were distributed through the Roman provinces, to be destroyed by wild beasts in theatres; many were sent to the works in Egypt; many, especially those under seventeen years of age, were sold for slaves. Jewish Wars, book vi., chap. 9,. 2,3.

Coke’s Commentary on the Holy Bible

Then shall be great tribulation— In the preceding verses our Saviour warned his disciples to fly as soon as ever they saw Jerusalem besieged by the Romans, and now he assigns a reason for his giving them this caution. The words used in this verse seem to be a proverbial form of expression, as in Exodus 10:14. Joel 2:1 Maccabees ix. 27. Our Lord, therefore, might fitly apply the same manner of speaking upon the present occasion: but he does not make use of proverbial expressions without a proper meaning; and this may be understood even literally.

For indeed all history cannot furnish us with a parallel to the calamities and miseries of the Jews; rapine and murder, famine and pestilence within, fire and sword, and all the terrors of war without. Our Saviour wept at the foresight of these calamities; and it is almost impossible for persons of any humanity to read the relation of them without weeping too.

The Jewish historian might well say, as he does in the preface to his history: “If the misfortunes of all, from the beginning of the world, were compared with those of the Jews, they would appear much inferior upon comparison. In short, no other city ever suffered such things, as no other generation from the beginning of the world was ever more fruitful of wickedness.”

John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible

For then shall be great tribulation,… This is urged as a reason for their speedy flight; since the calamity that would come upon those who should remain in the city, what through the sword, famine, pestilence, murders, robberies, etc. would

be such as was not since the beginning of the world, to this time, no, nor ever shall be. The burning of Sodom and Gomorrha, the bondage of the children of Israel in Egypt, their captivity in Babylon, and all their distresses and afflictions in the times of the Maccabees, are nothing to be compared with the calamities which befell the Jews in the siege and destruction of Jerusalem. Great desolations have been made in the besieging and at the taking of many famous cities, as Troy, Babylon, Carthage, etc. but none of them are to be mentioned with the deplorable case of this city. Whoever reads Josephus’s account will be fully convinced of this; and readily join with him, who was an eyewitness of it, when he says1, that

“never did any city suffer such things, nor was there ever any generation that more abounded in malice or wickedness.”

And indeed, all this came upon them for their impenitence and infidelity, and for their rejection and murdering of the Son of God; for as never any before, or since, committed the sin they did, or ever will, so there never did, or will, the same calamity befall a nation, as did them.

Matthew Poole’s Commentary on the Holy Bible

Mark hath the same in effect, Mark 13:19-20. Luke speaks more particularly, Luke 21:23-24, “For there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

These verses must be understood with reference to the Jewish nation, and whoso shall read in Josephus the history of the wars of the Jews, will easily agree there is nothing in all the foregoing Jewish story which we have recorded in Scripture like unto it; the final destruction of them by Titus was rather an abatement of miseries they suffered by the factions within themselves, than any thing else.

And thus some think that God shortened those days of their misery by sending the Roman armies to quiet the seditions and factions amongst themselves, which were more cruel one to another. God promises to shorten these days for the elect’s sake that were amongst this sinful people. So that as the city was taken in less than six months, so was their whole country in less than eighteen months more. And if the Lord had not, in compassion to those amongst this people who belonged to his election of grace, shortened these days of calamity, both by sending the Roman armies to quiet their intestine divisions, and then giving these armies so quick a victory, none of the Jews would have been left alive, which indeed any one will judge that shall but read those histories.

Philip Mauro – The Seventy Weeks and the Great Tribulation

“That these calamities of the Jews, who were our Saviour’s murderers, were to be the greatest that had ever been since the beginning of the world, our Saviour had directly foretold, (#Mt 24:21; Mr 13:19; Lu 21:23,24) and that they proved to be such accordingly, Josephus is here a most authentic witness.”

The People’s New Testament

The account given by Josephus, the Jewish historian who witnessed and recorded the war, is almost an echo of the predictions of Christ. Women ate their own children from starvation; the Jews within the city fought each other as well as the Roman army; on August 10, A.D. 70, the city was stormed and there was a universal massacre; 1,100,00 persons perished, and 100,000 survivors were sold into slavery.

As you can see, the time of great tribulation that Messiah foretold in the Olivet Discourse was fulfilled in the first century, and that it was horrifying in its intensity.

Time-is-Reversing-Back-to-the-Original-Creation by Yedidah

Isaiah 46:9-10: “Remember the former things of old, for I am El and there is no one else – Elohim, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from of old that which has not yet been done, saying `My counsel does stand, and all My delight I do.’ ”

Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.”

Revelation 21:1-7: The Scriptures (ISR 1998): 1 “And I saw a renewed heaven and a renewed earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2And I, Yohanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), coming down out of the heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth (tabernacle) of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. 4“And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying. And there shall be no more pain, for the former matters have passed away.” 5And He who was sitting on the throne said, `See, I make all matters new.’ And He said to me, `Write, for these words are true and trustworthy.’ 6And He said to me, `It is done! – I am the Aleph and the Taw, the Beginning and the End. To the one who thirsts I shall give of the fountain of the water of life without payment. 7The one who overcomes shall inherit all this, and I shall be his Elohim and he shall be My son.’ ”

II Peter 3:8-14: 8 “But, beloved ones, let not this one matter be hidden from you: that with יהוה one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9יהוה is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 10But the day of יהוה shall come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are in it shall be burned up.

11Seeing all these are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be in set-apart behavior and reverence, 12looking for and hastening the coming of the day of Elohim, through which the heavens shall be destroyed, being set on fire, and the elements melt with intense heat! 13But according to His promise we wait for a renewed heavens and a renewed earth in which righteousness dwells. 14So then, beloved ones, looking forward to this, do your utmost to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless.”

   

     Using my notes from Canada, taken from weekly watching “Into the Multiverse” with Josh and Christina Peck on SkywatchTV.com, an interview with Gary Stearman, author of Time Travelers of the Bible, from other scientific sources, and from direct revelation by Yahuwah to me through dreams, visions, and personal instructions, I will try to explain dark energy, the return to the Garden of Eden, and our trip back to Genesis 1:1, as simply as possible. This is way more exciting than anything man could dream up to entertain our flesh. This is reality!

Dark Energy and Time Reversal:

My notes from “Into the Multiverse, May 19, 2016 Part XII

 

     This is where it gets very exciting and relates to what Abba showed me about the Garden of Eden being in another dimension, and that we are indeed traveling back through time to the “beginning”–to the original creation (Genesis 1:1), going back beyond the fall of man, erasing all the hurts Abba and Messiah have suffered because of man’s response to the beguiling of Satan, erasing Satan and his fallen angels and all they did, so that He would start over with a new heaven and a new earth, “in which dwells righteousness.” The damned do not rise in the resurrection of the just. They remain forever with their chosen gods–Satan and his angels. (i.e. Isaiah 26:13-14; 66:22-24; Revelation 20:11-15)

     The center piece of all time is Messiah’s death and resurrection, which will forever be honored and praised. That will never be forgotten! For without His willing sacrifice no one can be saved! “Without the shedding of blood, there is NO remission of sin”–“there is no atonement.” (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22) The shedding of blood began in the Garden, when Yahushua clothed Adam and Eve with the skin of an animal. Their sin stripped them naked of their glory-light, their heavenly clothing, their “linen garments.”

     It is in line with the nature of Yahuwah to erase the bad and restore what was originally intended–our dwelling in His dimension with Him. He will bring His dimension to earth, and time will be no more. (Revelation 10:6; chapters 21-22)

     He will recreate the earth as it was “in the beginning.” From the beginning, He knew what Satan would attempt, and thus, before the foundation of the world, He saw that Messiah was “slain” for our sins–as foretold by the prophets, i.e. Isaiah chapter 53, and Psalms 22.

 

     I Peter 1:18-21: 18…”knowing that you were redeemed from your futile way of life inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver or gold, 19but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, 20foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for your sakes, 21who, through Him, believe in Elohim who raised Him from the dead and gave Him esteem, so that your belief and expectation are in Elohim.”

Dark Energy

 

     Dark energy has to do with the expansion of the universe. Every object is moving away from every other object in the universe. Now it is doing this at a faster rate of speed than ever before. This is very strange to scientists. They can’t figure out what is going on. The rate of speed is increasing. “Something” seems to be pushing, or pulling them away from each other fast and faster, and they can’t figure out what’s going on. Out in empty space, a force is making them pull away from each other.

     “Centrifugal force” has been suggested as an explanation of what is going on – however, the planets and stars and moons are not spinning away from each other, but moving away. So, whatever is pushing or pulling these things out, away from each other, it is doing it under great control and balanced overall, so that everything is uniform equally. Is this the work of something from an extra dimension? Sure sounds like Father and Son!

     In fact, Josh Peck said: “A reverse entropy is happening!” Entropy: a slowing down, degrading, the progression of death and decay. Something is reversing this death and decay and backing it up. Right now, more energy is being pumped into the universe expanding it, rather than decaying it.

 

     Revelation 10:5-7, The Scriptures: “And the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created the heavens and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, that there should be no further delay, but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the secret of Elohim shall also be ended, as He declared to His servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7)

     KJV Revelation 10:6: “And sware by Him who liveth forever and ever … that there should be time no longer.”

Geneva Bible 1599, Revelation 10:6: “…that time should be no more.”

     Footnote: “Neither time itself, nor the things that are in time, but that the world to come is at hand, which is altogether of eternity, and beyond all time.”

     Ephesians 2:6-7: “…and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenlies with Messiah Yahushua, that order to show in the coming ages, the exceeding riches of His favor in kindness towards us in Messiah Yahushua.”

     We actually go into His dimension when we “sit together with Messiah.” It is not religious spookiness, or fantasy, it is real.

     Back to Josh: As the energy is released, time stops, and backs up. It hits a wall, so to speak, and reverses itself. Christina Peck described it as water coming into a garden hose. The water continues to flow into the hose. But, if you put your hand over the nozzle of the hose and stop the water from coming out, it backs up, being pushed back towards its source. Of course, with a garden hose, the backwards buildup may explode the hose (smile). Perhaps better said, Josh inserted: It is like a wave that comes into shore. A mysterious force stops it from coming very far onto land, and then it goes back by the same mysterious force. That “mysterious force” is found in Jeremiah 5:22!

     As the energy backs up, we go back in time to the original creation. Thus, we have a “new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.” We are returning to the original “Garden,” which dwelled/dwells in another dimension, the “paradise” of Elohim. (Revelation 22:14) We return to obedience to His Covenant … the order of Eden is restored.

     Revelation 1:7-8 and 1:10-11: “See, He is coming with clouds and every eye shall see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of earth shall mourn because of Him. Yea, Amen…`I am the aleph and the taw, the beginning and end,’ says Yahuwah, `who is, who was, and is to come, the Almighty.’ … I came to be in the Spirit on the Day of Yahuwah, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying `I am the aleph and the taw, the first and the last…and write…”

     The first One is Yahuwah speaking, secondly Yahushua is speaking to Yochanan. Both are the aleph and the taw – both the beginning and the end – for Genesis 1:1 shows there are two—Elohim–who created the heavens and the earth. “Let US make man in OUR image…” (Genesis 1:26) Father and Son carry the name Yahu!  They are “echad,” two in unity as one.

     Many unusual things are happening in our universe that are baffling scientists. Here is just one more:

Scientists Baffled by Mysterious Force crossing Stars Out of Our Galaxy

By Tara MacIsaac, Epoch Times | January 29, 2014

     “Something is hitting stars in our Milky Way galaxy with such force that they are reaching the million-plus mile-per-hour velocity needed to break free of the galaxy.

Astrophysicists have observed 18 stars that were kicked out of the galaxy before, but those stars were from the center of the galaxy and they were affected by the super-massive black hole at the galaxy’s core. This new set of 20 stars are not from the center, and scientists don’t know what could have propelled them to reach such a speed.

“These new hypervelocity stars are very different from the ones that have been discovered previously,” said lead author of the study Vanderbilt University graduate student Lauren Palladino, according to the university news. The black hole that acted on the first set of stars is estimated to have a mass equivalent to four million suns, which gives it such a powerful force. What, besides this black hole, could have such power? “The big question is: what boosted these stars up to such extreme velocities? We are working on that now,” said Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, assistant professor of astronomy at Vanderbilt. The discovery was published in the Astrophysical Journal this month, and it was discussed last week at the annual American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington D.C.”

    That “something,” the “what,” is most likely the same “something” that is backing up time and reversing it back to eternity “past”–our Elohim! (With a smile on your face, can’t you just imagine Him playing baseball with the stars?)

     From “Observable Universe Contains Unobservable Matter” by Nathan Cranford, January 20, 2016, Liberty Voice: “Astrophysicists predict that the universe is held together by a kind of dark `cosmic glue’… Gravity is the primary force that helps glue this material together in the observable universe.”

     Gravity is very important of course, but it is a weak force. Example: It holds a paper clip to a table, yet with a small magnet, you can pick up the paperclip, thus defying gravity. As I learned in one of the episodes of Into the Multiverse, this “cosmic glue,” physicists refer to as “gluon,” is a baffler to them. CERN and many other research groups are spending billions of dollars trying to find out what holds the universe together.

     OH MY! – Listen you ignorant faithless atheist or agnostic intellectuals, go to Colossians 1:13-20, and you’ll find the simple answer that a child can understand: “…He is before all, and in Him all things hold together.” By the power of Yahushua Messiah, all of creation was spoken into existence (He is the Word of Elohim), and by His Word-power all things hold together…including these faithless intellectuals.

     Hebrews 1:1-5: 1 “Elohim, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets, 2has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed heir of all, through whom also He made the ages,

3who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining all by the word of His power, having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on high, 4having become so much better than the messengers (angels), as He has inherited a more excellent Name than them. 5For to which of the messengers did He ever say, `You are My Son, today I have brought You forth?’ And again, `I shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?’ ”

    From “Into the Multiverse” Part XVI: Biblical Time Travel June 16, 2016: Interview with Gary Stearman of prophecywatchers.com

    Gary said that Abba works from the end back to the beginning as well as the beginning to the end. Revelation 21:5-6: “And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new…I AM the aleph and the tav, the beginning and the end…”

     Isaiah 46:9-10: “Remember the former things of old, for I AM Elohim and there is none else. I AM Elohim. There is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying `My council shall stand and I will do all My pleasure.”

    Gary said that Elohim was creating “reverse entropy” – going back to the original, reversing time, reversing aging of any type. Josh reminded him of “dark energy,” where time is going backwards. This energy is increasing in speed. At some point, time will hit a wall and begin to reverse itself – going all the way back to the original creation – back to the beginning of time (on earth) as we know it, when He first created the heavens and the earth.

     Quoting from Gary’s book, Time Travelers of the Bible, page 172, he says: “The arrow of time is called `entropy.’ Things run down and wear out…Scientists call entropy the Second Law of Thermodynamics. All it means is that the universe is running down. All man’s efforts are for naught. Unless this frightful condition is somehow changed, there is nothing ahead but hopelessness. Astronomers grimly predict that the universe will one day grind to a cold, dark, dead halt.”

     In other words, if the universe continues forward as it has been since creation, it will hit a wall – and die out. It is on a time-schedule. Locked into its life is an end, just like with us frail humans.

    But, HalleluYah! Yahuwah and Yahushua to the rescue! It will not end! The Word uses the phrase “world without end.” To keep it going, His creation will return to the great Originator/Creator for repairs, and then continue in His eternal dimension!   

     Isaiah 45:17-18: “Israel shall be saved by Yahuwah with an everlasting deliverance. You are not to be ashamed, or hurt–forever and ever. For thus said Yahuwah, Creator of the heavens, He is Elohim, Former of earth and it’s Maker. He established it. He did not make it to be empty. He formed it to be inhabited. `I am Yahuwah, and there is none else.’ ” Note, KJV: “You shall not be ashamed or confounded, world without end.”
Ephesians 3:20-21: “And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly above what we can ask or think, according to the power that is working in us, to Him be esteem in the assembly, by Messiah Yahushua unto all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Note, KJV: “unto all generations, world without end. Amen.”       

Proverbs 2:21-22: “For the righteous shall dwell in the earth, and the perfect be left in it. But, the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the treacherous ones plucked out of it.”

Psalm 37:9, 11: “For evil doers are cut off, but those that wait on Yahuwah shall inherit the earth…the meek ones shall inherit the earth.”

     *Gary cited Einstein, who said: “Time does not exist.” He explained: If you take the smallest division of our earth time–the second– and begin counting seconds, then go faster and faster in counting the divisions of time to nanoseconds, then beyond that, when you get to 10 to the minus 43 power for every division of time, time disappears and space disappears with it, thus Einstein said, “time does not exist.” 
    The morning of April 21, 1992, I had a profound dream that prophesied both my near future and my future still. The first part was explained sometime after 2002. I was teaching the Word in cyberspace, on the computer, to a vast invisible audience all over the world. In 1992, I had no computer, only an old manual typewriter.

     It was not until 2016, recently, that He began showing me the second part of the dream. I was teaching in cyberspace, then abruptly interrupted by being jerked backwards at an incredible rate of speed, pulled by an unseen by the gold rope that as wrapped around my waste, while “someone” counted backwards from 47 to zero. When He said zero, I was in the throne room of Yahuwah–the gold cord had been attached to the leg of the throne. I was 47 years old at the time. I did not understand the 47 until about a month ago–Gary’s explanation from Einstein about counting backwards, reversing time, ending time. What opened my spirit-mind to understand so clearly, was the amazingly strong Presence of Yahuwah’s Spirit all around me – His “anointing.”

     Gary cites different examples of time travel in the Bible, like with Eliyahu–from II Kings 2 to Matthew 17:1-6, to Malachi 4:5-6, and Revelation 11. That Eliyahu sure gets from here to there a lot! Ezekiel saw a disc coming for him. He enters it, and it flies him to Jerusalem. The text in today’s term would show that the disc reached G-Force to Jerusalem, flying at a tremendous speed, then returning him to Babylon. Yah rides on the wings of a cherub. Cherubs often fly in “vehicles” – as with Eliyahu’s horses and chariot. On Patmos a door opened so that Yochanan (John the Apostle/Revelation) could go into heaven and see the future from Abba’s perspective. Yochanan literally goes into the future and sees with his eyes what is coming. Yahuwah’s prophets also see into the future in visions, dreams, and personal experiences. Josh asked Gary if he thought Ezekiel and John met because of what he said about building the third temple … connecting Ezekiel 40-46 with Revelation 11. Gary said it was very possible. I believe so–I believe the “man” with the measuring rod in Ezekiel 40 is the same man in Revelation 11 measuring the temple – Yochanan.

     Then Gary told of his UFO experience. He was flying his own plane, when it experienced mechanical failure. This was a personal experience that saved Gary’s life, so he peacefully felt that the saucer he saw was flown by one of Abba’s angels or cherubs. Gary lost time. His fuel was running low and he had engine trouble. He heard a voice say “look out your left window and you’ll see a UFO.” At first he thought “no way.” But, he heard the voice say it again, so he looked and saw what he described as a beautiful shining disc. He felt peace. It guided him, and he soon landed where he needed to go–Lubbock, Texas–which was a long ways away. The fuel had not been used up. When the ground crew inspected his plane, they said it was impossible for him to have even flown the plane–the mechanical failure was a real failure, a life-threatening failure. So, because of the peace and the result, Gary felt strongly it was an angel or cherub from Yahuwah.

     Josh reminded Gary of the recent interview with the man who entered a strange fog over the Bermuda Triangle, and about his return to Miami in about ½ of the time it normally took, using hardly any fuel.

     Gary said Abba always has His purposes in time-travel, as with Philip in Acts 8. Demonic UFOs are only copies of the real, and will be used to terrify the world into submission in the “great deception.” Michael is fighting Satan and his fallen angels in the heavenlies – outside of earth-time. (Revelation 12) The fallen ones are entering our dimension at an accelerated rate. Soon Satan himself will be thrown to earth by Michael and Abba’s angelic warriors. Gary mentioned how in Matthew 4 Satan took Messiah to see all the kingdoms of this world.

     Time travel is not something spooky. It happens when Abba wants it to happen, by His rules of time and space. He can compress time, bend time, and accelerate time, and He is …

     Gary said: “Entropy is the arrow of time to physicists.” “Satan was impaled on entropy when he rebelled.” In other words, the time clock started ticking forward, counting what Yahuwah was allowing regarding the rest of his existence before the lake of fire. He sealed his own destruction by messing with Yahuwah’s highest creation, who was in His dimension. He opened time – that would bring about his destruction.

     So, actually, astronomy-wise to prove it, we are now “in the days of Noah.”

The conditions before the Flood are increasingly obvious. Genesis 6 is quite clear.

The original Nephilim returned 120 years ago. [Refer to my articles on that from “The Amazing Message of the Numbers 3, 7, 50, 70, and 120,” and the article on the 2016 Olympics since then.]

     More revelation about the portal of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

into the dark kingdom and how it applies to today, written June 19, 2016:

The tree of  life was in Yahuwah’s dimension, thus Adam and Eve

had to be in His dimension to  eat of it (i.e. Revelation 22:14).

     The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a portal into the dark kingdom. It was seen in Yahuwah’s realm in the Garden, but was off limits to them because it was a doorway to the other kingdom. Yahuwah always gives man a choice – life in His realm, or the world’s realm of the god of this world. So, the tree was visible to Adam and Eve, as per Genesis 3:1-11. Yet, she did not “see” the tree until she received the lie of the Serpent (Genesis 3:5-7; I John 2:15-17). It was like the tree was there, but because of their obedience to Yahuwah their minds did not desire it, until the Serpent made it desirable. It was a “supernatural” tree–a wormhole, star gate, a door, a portal into another dimension that they were warned not to enter. It could very well have been the portal that the Serpent entered through into the Garden. It had the power to “open their eyes” – the eyes of their understanding – so that they were born-again, only backwards … not forward into light but backwards into darkness. It was a counterfeit of II Corinthians 5:17 – when a person is truly born of the Spirit, their spiritual eyes are opened to His realm – they become a totally “new creation.” “Old things are passed away, behold, all things have become new.” It is what Adam and Eve experienced yet in the realm of the flesh–its lusts, its passionate drawing to sin and rebel. It made them “new creations” in a tragic sense. But, once the portal was opened to the dark kingdom, the whole of creation came under its curse. So Yahuwah had to get them out of there. He had to make sure they could not re-enter the Garden. If they stayed, they would have spent eternity separated from Yahuwah. The Tree of Life would not be eaten of again until a bridal remnant would eat of it, and in eternity be available to her, and the attendants (kings of the earth) who lived or at least visited frequently the throne room. (Revelation 21-22)

     Today, many sincerely accept Jesus as their personal savior – believing in His death and resurrection for them. But, like the parable of Mark 4, only ¼ of those receiving or hearing the Good News actually bear fruit to eternal life. Others fall away … they go backwards, as Hebrews 6:4-6 and II Peter 2:20-22 tell us, as well as many other Scriptures, like Revelation 3:1-6. Today, each individual has the same choice. The Serpent gave Eve the key to open the door, portal, star gate, into his realm for his rule – and it was the fruit – the lust of the eyes.

     The few are beginning to “…taste of powers of the world to come.” Is this what is referenced in Hebrews 6:4-6? Once a person begins to “taste” of what we lost in the Garden, and then denies Messiah, there is no repentance granted, no salvation given? Is it because, like with Adam and Eve, they are let in on His secrets, and yet turn on Him in the end? This puts a whole new meaning to Hebrews 6:4-6!

    Oh what we lost! From Into the Multiverse Part XIX – The Mandela Effect Exposed: When Adam and Eve fell, they were in eternity, outside of time. They had been able to enter other dimensions that Abba opened for them – perhaps going above earth or touring the universe as Enoch did. Their minds were much more powerful than ours. It is said we only use 10% of our mental ability. What did they forfeit by listening to the Serpent? – A lot more than religion has told us!!!

     But, HalleluYah, praise Him for His mercy! We are moving back in time towards the Garden of Eden, which existed and still exists outside of time–in the dimension of Yahuwah. It will open again, before Messiah comes for the “few” who need to be taken there by Abba’s design. (Matthew 7:13-14) These are the “first fruits” of the resurrection of the just. (Revelation 14:1-5) The Garden is a real place within three portals of Yahuwah’s entrance points in the old city of East Jerusalem.

     What is the one area beyond all others in the entire world that the evil ones want to take over–Muslims, Illuminati, Vatican rulers, the Elite, the world’s most evil and powerful rulers, servants of Satan? What is the one place in the entire world that Satan wants to rule from? (Isaiah 14:9-19, Helel/Lucifer) What is the one place that the United Nations wants to give to the Palestinians for their capitol city? This is the very place of which Yahuwah says: “For Yahuwah has chosen Tsiyon (Zion). He has desired it for His dwelling. `This is My place of rest forever! Here I dwell, for I have desired it.” (Psalm 132:13-14)

     This is an intense spiritual battle! The Garden will open to those so loyal to Yahuwah that they go back beyond the fall of man in that garden. For these “few” the temptation of the Serpent is a sick joke. For Messiah, his temptation must have also been like a sick joke. (Matthew 4:1-11) Satan left Messiah quickly after Yahushua quoted a few verses from Deuteronomy to him! Never forget Luke 10:19 and Ephesians 6:10-18!

The “few” have submitted to the Spirit of Yahuwah to the point where they no longer live, but Messiah lives in and through them. (Galatians 2:20) They are dead to self, and alive only to the will of their Master. These are the bridal remnant of Messiah, the Daniel 11:32b “exploit people,” who know their Elohim, and He knows and trusts them as His precious servants. They, by the transformation of the Spirit within, are prepared to eat once again of the tree of life, and live in the eternal dimension of Elohim.

     Here, I will share more of the information and revelation I have received on the Garden from many years of study and research, but also of revelation knowledge given to me before and during my time in Canada.

     Genesis 3:22-24: 22 “And יהוה Elohim said, “See, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever…23 so יהוה Elohim sent him out of the garden of Ěḏen to till the ground from which he was taken, 24 and He drove the man out. And He placed keruḇim (cherubim) at the east of the garden of Ěḏen, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.”

     Revelation 22:14: “Blessed are those doing His commands, so that authority may be theirs to the tree of life, and to enter through the gates of the City.”

From “Garden of Eternity” in Cherubim Chariots by Josh Peck, pages 8-12

     “An interesting thing to note, which might describe an attribute of the Garden of Eden, can be found when we consider the word `east.’ In the original text, the word `east’ comes from the Hebrew word `qedem’ and has a double meaning. Most times, it simply means east. On the surface, this seems to be the appropriate translation. However, qedem can also mean ancient, aforetime, earliest time, and beginning, among others. The word qedem is used to describe an attribute of God in other places of Scripture. `The eternal God is thy refuge…and underneath are the everlasting arms; and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say destroy them. (Deuteronomy 33:27) In this verse the word `eternal’ was translated from the Hebrew word qedem. This shows the timeless attribute of God. Describing God as eternal conveys the idea that He is outside of time itself. He has no beginning or end. This may help explain an aspect of creation that is not commonly considered. Earlier in the book of Genesis, we read about the attributes of the Garden of Eden. `And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.’  The word ‘planted’ comes from the Hebrew word `nata,’ and also means ‘established.’  Since the word `eastward’ comes from qedem, this could be conveying the idea that the garden itself was originally established in a place outside of time as we know it. The fact that the garden had a beginning disqualifies it from being truly eternal, but this would be showing that it originated from a state outside the normal flow of time. This could be an attempt to describe a place of a different space-time than what we are familiar with. The Garden of Eden may have originated from a higher dimension.

     If this is true, this could help explain further why Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden. There is a theory that states before Adam and Eve fell, they had access to all dimensions of created space-time. At the time of the rebellion, a split in the dimensions occurred. Adam and Eve were left `fallen’ to the three dimensions of space and one of time that we are currently familiar with, and the rest of the higher dimensions became inaccessible. Perhaps this was the purpose of the fruit of the Tree of Life.

Before the fall, Adam and Eve were free to eat of all the trees except the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:16-17) This means they were free to eat from the Tree of Life since it was already present in the Garden (Genesis 2:9). If the fruit from the Tree of Life was there to sustain their state in eternity, we can begin to understand why Adam and Eve were denied access after they fell. Adam was told that if he were to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, he would surely die. (Genesis 2:17) If Adam and Eve were to eat the fruit from the Tree of Life after the fell, they would have been in an eternal state of death. They would have been comparable to the unredeemable Serpent who first tempted them into rebellion. They would have had no chance of redemption.

     After all of this, Genesis 3:24, tells us that cherubim guarded the Garden along with a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the Tree of Life.  Note that the text does not necessarily imply the cherubim were handling the sword. The text only states that one was placed there. The turning everyway aspect seems to come directly from the sword itself and does not seem to be caused by the cherubim.

     It seems whatever the sword actually was, its purpose was to make it impossible for Adam and Eve to enter the garden again and have access to the Tree of Life. The sword may have been what was used to cause the split in dimensions of space and time. It was not until after Adam and Eve were driven out of the garden that the sword was set in place. If true, this would help explain why the Garden of Eden has never been found. It exists in a state that we no longer have access to. It is contained in a dimension higher than our own. It could very well be that the garden is still here on Earth. However, due to our limited perception, we could walk right through it and never know it. To this day, it is possible the sword and the cherubim are still performing their duty, thus the garden remains inaccessible.”

     Can you imagine the horror of leaving the pristine dimension of Yahuwah and be thrust onto the earth, in time, to begin to die, whereas before they had eternal life?

They were in the Presence of Yahushua as He walked in the garden with them. They were able to go into all of His dimensions. Perhaps even the animals had languages.

    During my stay in Canada, while lying down to sleep, Yahuwah kept me awake. He began with this question: What language did Adam and Eve speak? I didn’t know. I reasoned: They would not have spoken an earthly language because they were in another dimension other than earth. I concluded: They had to speak the language of angels. Messiah did not walk with them and communicate with them in Hebrew. Hebrew evolved from early languages after the Flood. Abraham was the 1^st Hebrew. The language came from the Mesopotamian area, i.e. northern Iraq, Syria. Noah and his family brought it through the flood evidently, and it evolved from there. Therefore, the “pure language” that is spoken of in Zephaniah 2:9 may, or may not, be a perfected Hebrew. It may be a language of heavenly angels.

     Abba reminded me of I Corinthians 13:1: “Though I speak with the tongues or men and of angels and have not love, I am a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.”

     Abba continued: In the book of Acts, we see that all those who were filled with the Spirit spoke in “tongues.” In Acts 2, they began by speaking in the languages of the nations who were in Jerusalem for the festival of Shavu’ot–celebrating the giving of the Torah. The Ten Commandments were especially given as requirements of what Yahushua wanted in a Bride. On Sinai, Yahushua, the Word, spoke in both the languages of earth and of heaven. (I Corinthians 13:1, 14:2)

     In I Corinthians 14:5, 12-15, 18-19, the Apostle Sha’ul encourages the use of “tongues,” but stresses that in this world, speaking to others in their own language is most important. I Corinthians 14:26 is the bottom line: “Let all be done for uplifting.” “Tongues of angels” in the assembly must be accompanied by the interpretation. The gifts of the Spirit were well in operation, as they were throughout the Tenach. They are still well in operation for those who are submitted to Him. The gifts operated with the order of the Spirit’s leading.

     Ephesians 6:14 refers to praying “in the Spirit.” If tongues is in the spirit- realm, which it is, for the Spirit of Yahuwah is doing the speaking, then we speak the languages of angels–the languages that are used in the eternal realm.

     Adam and Eve spoke one or more of those languages. They are languages that sound like languages. Once thrust out, Adam and Eve would have to have learned the languages of the people outside the garden, learn to grow crops, and learn to domesticate sheep and cattle.

     I Corinthians 14:21 refers back to Isaiah 28:11-12, which Abba reminded me of last night. In fact, Abba kept reminding me of Isaiah 28:11-12.  (KJV): “For with a stammering lip and an unknown tongue will I speak to this people, to whom He said, `This is the rest by which I cause the weary to rest, but they would not hear.”

     Archeologists say that man’s recorded history began with the domestication of sheep and cattle, and the surprising outbreak of magic as a religion. Doesn’t this sound like Abel and Cain, the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent? Abel knew to offer blood sacrifice to Yahuwah. Cain made up his own religion – to offer the works of his hands.

     Therefore, when we are truly filled with the Spirit, and speak fluently in our “unknown tongue,” we are actually practicing for returning to the Garden. It is not some charismatic novelty of Pentecostal denominations! If someone entered your house to take up residency with you, would they speak to you – letting you know they are alive and well in your house? Man makes a religion out of what is practical and child like. Never forget your requirement for entering the Kingdom of Elohim: Matthew 18:1-4. [Refer to my testimony under the Mikvah of the Spirit]

     Perhaps the animals and birds, and creatures like dolphins and whales (mammals) that have the physical ability to speak, also spoke in an angelic language. Their earthly sounds may have resulted from the “fall.”

     Thus at Shavu’ot, the language of angels was given back to man who had been born of the Spirit through faith in the blood of the Lamb of Yahuwah, which prepares us to go back beyond the Garden gate fully in the eternal realm, after the 1000 year reign of Messiah. In the Kingdom the dimension of the eternal will be more manifested … but not totally encasing earth until Revelation 21-22. Thus, the infilling of the Spirit is the preparatory action by Messiah to prepare us for eternity. The infilling of the Spirit also gives us authority, inside knowledge, secrets of the mind of Yahuwah, insight into His nature, ways, and thinking, His feelings, His plans and goals. What an extreme privilege that is!

     Upon the true new birth, our body becomes His temple. Thus, in His realm, we are in a timeless state. Our spirit becomes a portal into the eternal realm, where we can sit with Messiah in “heavenly places.” Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem. After he finished, he called the people to its dedication. He then called for the Ark of the Covenant to be brought up from Zion, the City of David, to be placed in the Most Set-Apart Place in the Temple. When the Ark was placed in its place, the Spirit of Yahuwah came down in such power that the priests fell down. Talk about a Pentecostal revival! (II Kings 8)

     So, in a sense, His set-apart ones have had some of the ability of Adam and Eve in the garden restored all ready. We are protected under His talit, which is in the eternal realm. (Psalm 91) Moses tasted a little of this as he met with Yahushua many times around Sinai, and through the wilderness. His face glowed with the Presence of Yahuwah’s Spirit, and the people couldn’t bear to look at him. He spoke face to face with Yahushua, in His pre-incarnate state.

     Adam and Eve lived in a timeless state. The rest of earth’s people lived in a time-state, where there was death of the body–entropy. We are returning all the way back to a timeless state, to eternity where Yahuwah dwells. Everything is moving backwards to the Original Creation, perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago. We are “in the days of Noah” literally by the position of the constellations. We are moving back to the time of Enoch, with the Bridal remnant being also translated because they walk with Elohim. We are moving back to Genesis 1:3, and will go all the way back to Genesis 1:1.

    These are just a few nuggets of gold for you to pray about. He has given me more understand by the day. He wants to share His heart with you also!

     Where are you in your preparation for the coming of Messiah? We all stand alone before the judgment seat of Messiah, or the judgment seat of Yahuwah, depending on our decision regarding the salvation of Messiah. It is the end of our faith that brings our salvation (I Peter 1:9). He will not tolerate anyone’s fleshly nature in His Presence. He wants to see us with His nature, walking in His ways, thinking His thoughts, loving as He loves, unselfish as He is unselfish. He wants to look at us and see Himself reflected back at Him, as if looking in a mirror. This is only possible if we allow the Spirit to transform us. We sure can’t do it!!!

     This makes II Corinthians 3:17-18 more understandable. As we look, as in a mirror, at the esteem of Yahuwah, we are changed from esteem to esteem by the Spirit, who is Yahuwah Himself. Thus, to reject the infilling of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, the leading of the Spirit, the instruction of the Spirit, the conviction of the Spirit, is to reject Yahuwah who is the Spirit! How did Apostle Sha’ul understand  these things, and the other Apostles, too? – Because they were filled with the Spirit, and taught from what Abba taught them. No Scripture was given by the will of man, but as men were moved upon by the Spirit of Yahuwah! (II Peter 1:20-21)

His privileges to sit with Him in heavenly places and learn from Him are extended to all of His children. But, few respond to His invitation. Eternity is near. Where will you spend it? How will you spend it? We all must walk in the fear of Yahuwah for our own eternal good!

Written in His love, Shabbat Shalom!

ENTER IN 

The Word and Extra-Dimensional Time Travel

Part II of “Time is Reversing Back to the Original Creation”

 

I Corinthians 2:9-10 (from Isaiah 64:4): “…Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, nor has entered into the heart of man, what Elohim has prepared for those who love Him. But, Elohim has revealed them to us by His Spirit…”     

      From Gary Stearman’s book Time Travelers of the Bible, page 2: “By nature, we are meant to live in the eternal state, and never be fully satisfied while trapped in time.”

“Enter In”: A song given by Abba to Chuck Girard, sung on his album “Evening Shadows,” 2008

Verse 1, Abba speaking:

“Enter in to the throne room of the Father

Enter in to the Presence of the King

Come behind the veil and walk with Me

In the cool of the day, I’ll walk with you

For where I am is paradise

Look into My eyes, look into My eyes

How I long for you, as you long for Me

Won’t you take the time to visit for awhile

For your precious presence brings joy to My heart

Oh now my child, come on through

Verse 2: Abba speaking:

Come behind the veil and be My love

In the secret place, I wait for you

Be one with Me, for I’m in you

And you’re in Me, and we are one

When you dwell with Me, and I dwell with you,

All the pain in life will surely have to flee

For between the wings of the cherubim

Is that place of peace, that place rest

Right here with Me

     Walking in His Presence is our daily, and eternal, privilege. It begins with the true new birth and the baptism into Yahuwah’s Spirit, opening the gate of our spirit and linking it to His dimension. It is the priority of His set-apart children, now, and forever.

     As in my last article, “Time is Reversing Back to the Original Creation,” I wrote from knowledge, and recent revelation, that Abba began to give me as a young child. What He began showing me at age 4, nearly age 5, is just now crystallizing in my understanding, for now is the time when we must lock into our eternal destiny.  Abba is being very personal with His set-apart children. He is explaining and clarifying things that He has been showing us in bits and pieces all of our lives. The puzzle pieces are coming together rapidly! It’s because we are about to embark on the greatest adventure of our lives!

     As a foundation, written in other articles, at age 4, almost age 5, I was riding in the backseat of the car with my parents, looking out the backseat window, seated behind my papa, as he drove down the main street towards Huntington Beach to find a parking place. All of a sudden, I looked down and watched as an opaque bubble wrapped slowly around what I now know is the area of our eternal spirit (from just below the breast bone to the top of the legs–the digestive/reproductive area). It is around this area that the belt of truth is wrapped, on which hangs the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:10-18) I then clearly heard the soft baritone voice of Yahushua saying: “You don’t belong here anymore.” As I looked back out of the window, it was like now looking at something on TV. It was surreal. I felt I was inside of something, yet still sitting in the car looking out on something not quite real. I turned to my mother and said, “The most important thing in life is God.” I pondered this experience through the years–the experience being as clear as it was when I had it, but without total understanding of what happened, or why, until now. He is showing us why we’ve gone through what we’ve gone through, in preparation for what we’re about to do.

     Get excited! Look at Psalm 91:7 “…a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you, you will remain unscathed–only with your eyes shall you see the reward of the wicked.”

     Where are you if you only see with your eyes, and are immune to death? Are you inside of something looking out? Yes you are! You are inside of His dimension–Psalm 91:1! Be aware that the promises of Psalm 91 are contingent on your “abiding” in His dimension.  

     While recently in Canada for five weeks, I was surprised that after 15 years of constant study, research and writing, He took all desire to write away from me. The day before I left Canada, He restored the desire. While I was there, it became obvious that it was my time to be alone with Him. He began clarifying things He has told me in dreams, vision, and prophetic words since 1949.

     We’ve all been in a type of “fog” regarding the reality of our Elohim. The culture, religion, pursuit of the desires of the mind, emotions, and flesh, and dulling mind-programming have all contributed to the fog. We’ve all been programmed into thinking that what we see, hear, feel, taste, and touch in this world is all there is to reality. So, like all mankind, we spend our lives appeasing our desires that make us feel good, proud, excited, entertained, powerful and successful, secure and safe. Yet reality lies just beyond us that almost never taught to us by man. Religion hides this reality more than anything else, other than demons themselves. Only with the Spirit teaching us the Word in our re-born spirit, can we really learn absolute clear Truth!

     For years, as I was ready for the knowledge, He would show me things to clarify His written Word (Greek: “Logos”), and His spoken Word to me personally (Greek: “Rhema”). But, in April of 1999 He led me to live in the nation of Jordan for 8 years to learn from Him alone. In 2000 I began sharing with others what He taught me.

     Though exposed to the Word in church from babyhood, I began really studying His Word in 1961 at BIOLA College in California. (BIOLA stands for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles) In November 1966, after being baptized into Yahuwah’s Spirit, realized learned that His Spirit is our only valid Teacher of absolute Truth. Of course, that is in John 16! Unless we are totally Spirit-taught, there is going to be error in our knowledge. My initial education began at an early age so that I could learn to hear His voice, know His nature, and how He does things. We understand His Word more and more as we learn His nature, ways, and thinking. How can we know Him personally outside of His Word? We can’t. How can we trust and love someone with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and be willing to lay down our lives them, if we don’t really know them?  We can’t.

     But, He has known us since “before the foundation of the world” (Psalm 139:1-18; Ephesians 1:13; I Peter 1:1-3). Therefore, by His foreknowledge, He chose us to walk with Him and sit with Him in His heavenly places (Colossians 3:1-4).

     Continuing on with what I began writing on in the last article, “Time is Returning to the Original Creation,”/July 15, 2016, about time, entropy, and extra dimensions:

Abba’s creation of time did not cause “entropy” (progressive deterioration, decay, death)–sin caused it. Sin leads us to death. Entropy rides on the “arrow of time” because of man’s rebellion–like a plague that has no vaccine. When Satan rebelled and Yahuwah cast him out of eternity, he became “impaled on the arrow of time.” In revenge, he entered the Garden of Eden and beguiled Adam and Eve into also rebelling, so that they would be thrust out of its eternity state into time, impaling us all on the “arrow of time.”

     Gary Stearman writes in his book Time Travelers of the Bible, page 173: “The arrow of time has been called entropy.” From page 179: “In the lust of pride, Lucifer, the shining one, became Satan, the adversary against God’s children. His fall from heaven will take him to the pit of sheol, and finally to the lake of fire. Once privileged to transverse the halls of eternity, he was sentenced to the timeline of the solar system.  In other words, time was his punishment. Once, without limitations he was free to serve the Lord throughout the expanses of the heavens. But, his sin enclosed him within the restrictions of the Lord’s redemptive timeline.” Page 180: “The first couple fell, just as Lucifer had fallen. And, they took humanity down with them, just as Lucifer had taken a group of rebellious angels.” Powerful words!

    Soon, in a rage but also in panic, desperation, and fear, the once “anointed cherub” in the throne room of Yahuwah will be allowed a very short time to do as he wills, before Messiah comes. Then he will be imprisoned forever in time. (Revelation 12:7-12; 2o:1-3)

     Messiah was prepared before the foundation of the world to be our “vaccine,” to save  us from what sin has done to us.  Only those who trust in the death and resurrection of Messiah, those truly born of the Spirit by faith in Him, can receive the saving vaccine that instantly cures the plague brought on by the ravages of sin.

     Genesis 6 shows us that only Noah and his family with pure human DNA could escape the judgment of the Flood. All the rest of the earth’s people were either part fallen angel, or a hybrid of human and some other creature. The big thrust of the world’s scientists and the behind-the-scenes Elite, are busy experimenting in “transgenics and trans-humanism to create non-human beings of all sorts. They seek to create bodies that will assure them of power, strength, endurance, and assure them eternal life. Truly we are back “in the days of Noah.”

    Back in January, astute researchers told me about the special 6-part series of the X-Files, and how the 1^st episode told the truth about all that is happening in America to bring us down. Later, as part of my research, I bought the DVDs to see what the Illuminati was telling us. My friends did not tell me that the truth was being told by a “conspiracy theorist” on his TV show. The truth included that there are no alien invaders–it is cover-up for what the government is doing. In this 6-part TV mini-series of “The X Files–the Event,” January/February 2016, all the episodes tell us truth about a lot of hidden things. But, the last episode turns it all around–alien invaders are real, and they are our friends who have come to help us. The last episode concludes with a reversal of Genesis 6. The last episode ends by showing a worldwide plague engulfing the planet. Only the “chosen ones” with alien DNA were immune.  One of the two main characters, an FBI agent and doctor named Dana Scully, knows she is one of the “chosen ones.” She had tested herself and found she had some alien DNA along with her human DNA. Her FBI partner, Fox Mulder, was dying of the plague. She made a vaccine from scraping of her cheek cells. She found him in a car along a freeway packed with people trying to flee the city, all who were infected with the plague. It ended with an alien space ship lowering over her as she was about to administer the vaccine to Mulder.  She looked up into the lowering space ship and smiled. This message will be the message to all earth’s people, announcing to us the “great deception” to come. [Refer to: The Great Deception – Mankind Has Been Prepared to Believe It”/May 12, 2016] Tom Horn once said that he believed the “mark of the beast” would include a DNA-changing element. This is most likely because of Revelation 14:9-11. Those who take the mark cannot repent – they are damned forever. They are no longer human, with the privilege of receiving forgiveness by faith in Messiah.

    We, the children of Yahuwah, know that His “chosen ones” have had our DNA changed in the true new birth. We are a “new creation,” old things have passed away, behold all things have become new. (II Corinthians 5:17) We are eternal beings who can contact the realm of Elyon, the Most High, of Shaddai, the Almighty. We have pure DNA like Noah did. (Genesis 6:8-14, 7 1 and Hebrews 11:6-7) Because we are His “chosen ones,” we can be immune to what the enemy has for the world’s people in the days just ahead!

     For a while longer, however, though we are a “new creation” by the true new birth, we are still subject to the earth’s curse because of sin, but through the Spirit of Yahuwah we have the privilege of living in a state of eternity right now. We can tap into that “vaccine” that will save us from the horrors of earth’s curse! As we allow the Spirit to transform us into the nature of Yahuwah, we separate from the curse, and progress toward blamelessness in His eyes.  (I Thessalonians 5:23-24; Revelation 14:1-5) This is not something we can do, except to cooperate with the work of His Spirit. We are transformed through many trials, tests, pressures, and more tests. Our “flesh” has to die, in order for Him to live through us!

     “For the Kingdom of Elohim is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Set-Apart Spirit.” (Romans 14:17) We can “taste the good Word of Elohim and the powers of the age to come,” by entering into His Presence. But, Hebrews 6:4-6 gives us a severe warning. If we have “tasted the good Word of Elohim and the powers of the age to come,” and turn back to sin, there is no more atonement available to us.

     The whole of the Word tell us about life in one of three dimensions: 1) The dimension of this earth, 2) the dimension in which Satan and his forces dwell right now, and 3) the dimension of the Kingdom of Yahuwah, Yahushua, and Their angels. Two of these dimensions are limited by time (heavens and earth.) Only Elohim’s dimension is not limited, but eternal.

     As I wrote in the last article, Adam and Eve were placed in a Garden outside of time. They were immortal. They were separated from the people of the earth. Look carefully at Genesis 1:27-30, and compare to Genesis 2:7-8.  Elohim created people on day 6 of the re-creation. He put them on earth, in time. Then, at some later point, He created “the man,” Adam, and put him in an eternal state beyond time–he could not die–not until he and Eve sinned. They ate of the tree of life, now shown to be in the dimension of Yahuwah’s throne room. (Revelation 22:14)

     The “nations of the saved” will eat of the trees of life that line the river flowing out from the City of Yahuwah, as it hovers over the renewed earth. (Revelation 22:1-2) These of the “nations” were guests at the wedding feast of Yahushua. (Matthew 22:1-14; Revelation 21:23-24)  Only those “who have right” can eat of the tree of life in the throne room of the New Jerusalem itself. (Revelation 22:14) 1) The “kings of the earth,” the attendants at the wedding, the “friends of the bridegroom–those who rule over the earth–will come and go as ambassadors from earth into, and from, the throne room. (John 3:29; Mark 2:19-20; Revelation 21:24-26. 2) The bride of Messiah will eat of the tree of life within the throne room. She never leaves the side of her Beloved. (Revelation 3:12, 7:1-8; 14:11-4; 22:3-5)

     In any wedding there are these three divisions–comparative to the “outer court,” the “inner court” and the “most inner court” (where the Presence of Yahuwah dwelled) in the Most Set-Apart place of the temple, the 30, 60, 100 fold of Mark 4:20, and the many disciples, the 3, and the 1 who followed Messiah, the one being Yochanan/John. It is beautifully shown in Matthew 17:1-8 also. Kepha/Peter thought that because it was near Sukkot, that it was time for the Bridegroom and Bride to be married, so he asked for a succah to be built for the attendant of the Groom (Elijah) and the attendant of the Bride (Moses). He was right in his thinking, just nearly 2000 years off in his timing.

     Abba has had me studying and writing on the Bride since the late 1980s. [Refer to: “The Ancient Hebrew Wedding Ceremony” and “The Message to the Bride”]

     The Garden was in a location on earth, but they did not live out among earth’s people. They were doing fine until the Serpent entered and put doubt in their minds regarding the Word of Elohim. Today, it is estimated that at least 40% of American Evangelicals do not believe the Bible is the Word of Elohim. The “Mandela Effect,” has also undermined faith, and put doubt in people’s minds about the Word, and about all kinds of things – taking people off into the ditch of no return. [Refer to: “The Mandela Effect”/July 1, 2016.

     The tree of the knowledge of good and evil held a secret portal into the kingdom of darkness.  Satan’s deceiving-beguiling worked, and they, like him, were thrust out as prisoners of time. They could not return to their eternal state. Their body, mind, and emotions had to adapt to the restrictions of time, and to entropy. Ecclesiastes 1:1-9 describes the weariness of the deterioration properties of entropy. All is futility–unless we tap into the eternal realm once again through faith in Yahushua Messiah!

     When Satan and his forces turned away from Yahuwah in their rebellion, they, who lived in eternity, were thrown into the time-space continuum of the “heavenlies” – the area of planets, moons, and stars, nebulae, galaxies–into another dimension. They were cast out of eternity into time, where they had a time-line in which to exist freely and do as they pleased (but always under Yahuwah control). Now, they are entering earth at an enormous rate of speed, by the millions. Their one goal is to pervert the highest creation of Yahuwah–those created in His image and likeness– and bring them into their dimension. It all begins with doubt placed in the earth-bound mind. Today, we are in the midst of the great apostasy, the great falling away from faith.  Some of it is redeemable, but most is not. “Demons” come in and out of their dimension to trick, torment, steal, and destroy the children of Yahuwah. Apostle Sha’ul tells us how to do battle against them in Ephesians 6:10-18 and II Corinthians 10:3-6.

     Human beings are daily tormented by what our sin has brought us, opening the portal of our mind and emotions to Satan’s attempts. Did you know that negative emotions draw Satan and his forces like a magnet to you? Fear cancels faith, and when faith is not strong with joy supporting it, they will attack. Only by spiritual warfare under the authority and power of the Spirit within us, can we drive away these attacks and their results.  But, we must have His backing. It’s not a formula. It is a lifestyle. I have written many articles, even a 3-part series, on spiritual warfare, but the best instruction is in Matthew through Revelation. Do it as Messiah and His disciples did it, and you’ll get the same results they did. Never forget the mind-set of our Messiah-Savior in relationship to His Father, setting the example for our relationship with Him–John 5:30; 7:16, 8:28, 12:49-50!

      Our rescue is through the true new birth. The vaccine is in the blood of the Lamb, and through the in-filled of the Spirit of Yahuwah. Because of fleshly rebellion,   Yahuwah can only deal with the “few” (Matthew 7:13-14). But, oh the privileges of the “few”–to walk with Him once again, and prepare for our return to eternity!

    Messiah’s stake came at the “fullness of time”–the past looked forward to it, and from it all looks back on it. In the Garden, Yahushua slew an animal to provide garments for those two naked sinners, knowing that at some point in time, He would be the slain Lamb that would clothe naked sinners, like us. Oh how we love Him! Oh how we long for Him to return!

     Oh how Satan hates Yahushua! He has tried to slander and persuade men not to follow Him ever since he realized he’d been duped–as the Word tells us, the death of Yahushua was the secret to the salvation of mankind, not the end of Yahushua. (I Corinthians 2:8)

     Leviticus 17:11: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your life, for it is the blood that makes atonement for your life.”

     Hebrews 9:22, “And according to the Torah almost all is cleansed with blood, for without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.”

     Yahushua clothed Adam and Eve in the bloody skins of an animal, symbolic of His clothing us by His own blood, so that we are free from sin.  Adam, who once lived in paradise, in eternity, free from death and decay, had to learn how to till the ground for food, to raise animals for food, and work by the sweat of his brow. Eve learned pain in child birth, and the sorrows of raising a family. What a horrible shock! A flaming sword was set by the entrance to the Garden, and cherubim too, to keep them out. Today, we work out our salvation with fear and trembling, for it is at the end of our faith that we receive the salvation of our life. (Philippians 2:12-13; I Peter 1:9)

     The Garden is still there–in East Jerusalem. Why else does the whole world want East Jerusalem? Not even the modern city of Jerusalem, just the old city. It is because within that tiny area of the old city are the three main portals into the realm of Yahuwah, the place where He desires to dwell with His people forever. Within the triangle of those portals is the entrance to the Garden of Eden, under which the Gihon Springs still gushes out under East Jerusalem.  When Messiah comes, it will break loose and flush out the Dead Sea to make it a fresh-water lake.

     The Garden is still there, just not visible. Even the Arabs know it is there; it is written in their tourist books, in which they also use “Yahweh” as the name of the God of Israel. The three portals are on Mount Moriah (the Temple Mount), Mount Zion (the City of David), and the Mount of Olives (to the east). Of course, these are not “mountains” as we’d think of mountains, except for Mount Hermon in the north. Israel has hills.

     Psalm 132:13-14: “For Yahuwah has chosen Zion. He has desired it for His dwelling.  This is My place of rest forever. Here I dwell, for I have desired it.”

     The whole trouble in the Middle East, and in the world, is a spiritual battle between the forces of Lucifer/Satan and Yahuwah. Satan is determined to sit enthroned where Yahuwah wants to live forever. (Isaiah 14:11-19) The Jesuits have the same passion–to put a Jesuit pope in the place where Yahushua will sit enthroned.

     Mount Zion, the little “City of David,” is where Yahushua will reign from, and where Yahuwah will bring His throne room down over – to dwell there forever.  It is Derek’s and Rivkah’s, and my, favorite place in the whole world. What joy to sit below David’s palace area, and talk to Elohim.  His Presence is there!

     The true new birth, not the church-taught theology, but the true new birth as shown in the Messianic Writings, transforms us into a “new creation.” (I Corinthians 5:17-21; Ephesians 4:22-24.) The true new birth, in which the Spirit does 40 things within us by His power to transform us and prepare us for eternity, even affects the major body-controlling glands and the DNA of our bodies. It makes us “new.” While we still live in time, and entropy is still a reality with its death, toil, pain, grief, and sadness, we are destined for Revelation 21:1-7! The true new birth creates a “temple” within our spirit, for the Spirit of Yahuwah to dwell in. Through Him, we guard the Torah (instructions for right standing in the Kingdom of Yahuwah) with joy, peace, and love.

     Remember Jeremiah 17:5-10. To lean on man is a curse; to trust in Yahuwah is salvation. The soul is earthbound. It functions by the body’s desires, the mind and emotions directed by the will. The true new birth, with the power of His Word, separates between the soul and the eternal spirit. (Hebrews 4:12) Thus the war begins – the mind desires the things of the flesh, while the re-born spirit desires only the things of Yahuwah’s dimension.  Satan has conned mankind into enjoying the pleasures of earth, of his system, of his beliefs, and to ignore totally the eternal portal within us. Satan works through the mind and body. Satan cannot touch the re-born spirit. Here is the discipline of the Spirit. Once born again, we must ask the Spirit of Yahuwah to fill us, and Teach, lead, guide, convict, and transform us into the nature of Elohim.

     Without this transformation that unifies the soul and spirit into one complete “spirit man,” submitted to the Creator, the battle with the rebellious mind continues, and the mind usually wins, for it has such personal attention from Satan, his forces, and man as a whole. Every day we face the same temptation that Adam and Eve faced in the Garden.  (Ya’cob/James 4:4; I John 2:15-17)

          Abba is after “the FEW,” (Matthew 7:13-14) who will enter behind the veil into His dimension and live there with Him. Abba (“father” in Hebrew) seeks a family. Adam was created to be the progenitor of His family. And physically he was. Adam, and his son, Seth, were the forefathers of the children of Abraham, Yitzak/Isaac and Ya’cob. The seed of the Serpent produced the Serpent’s family.

     Messiah is called the last, or second, Adam. By the Spirit’s working, in which we must totally cooperate, we can also be transformed into one like Adam before the fall, so that we, too, can reenter the Garden when it is His time. (I Corinthians 15:45-49)

     Now, we are the end of the last Era, the end of the last age.  We are fast reversing in time–back to the “days of Noah,” back to the days of Enoch, back to the days of Adam and Abel, and Seth, back to the original creation before Genesis 1:2.  The last article explains these things. Refer to it for more detail.

     I am talking about solid reality, not spiritual speculation, or fantasy. I am talking about what is really happening. The Garden will open once again even before Messiah returns, to protect His set-apart ones of Revelation 3:12, 7:1-8, 14:1-5 and 22:3-5 from the final rampage of Satan. The final end of all things is the reign of Yahuwah over His creation from the City of David! HalleluYah!

     The whole of the Word is prophetic. It is about portals–doorways of entrance and exit into other dimensions. It began with the Garden, but look at Enoch – he walked with Elohim and was taken into His dimension through one of His portals. Messiah Yahushua walked among His people thousands of years before He incarnated and walked among us as the “last Adam.” The true new birth is from ABOVE!  Abba’s Word is a book that came to us from eternity–into time! (I Peter 1:20-21)

     Messiah, though in the flesh, was totally cold towards the temptations of Satan. He knew Satan from eternity past. He knew the empty lies. Temptation was a dangerous attack as far as He saw it.  He was totally submitted to His Father. He could have sinned, but He knew that sin would separate Him from His Father.

     Hebrews 4:15, speaking of Messiah Yahushua: “For we have not a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

     II Corinthians 5:21: “For He (Yahuwah) made Him (Yahushua), who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of Elohim in Him.” This refers us back to Isaiah 53. His death was a substitution: He took our place on the stake, to pay the price we owned for breaking His Torah. He died; we went free. “Sin is the transgression of the Torah.” The Torah is His instructions and teachings for right standing in His Kingdom. (I John 3:4, 8; Colossians 2:13-15)

     In Matthew 4:1-11, when Satan came to tempt Yahushua, Yahushua quoted three verses from Deuteronomy to run him off. How do you handle a demonic attack? “The weapons of our warfare that are not carnal, but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds” arise, when needed, with boldness from deep in the spirit, under authority and power-backing from Yahuwah in the mouth of one passionate for their Elohim. (II Corinthians 10:3-6) In this encounter, Satan even took Yahushua into his dimension to show him the kingdoms of this world. Satan has the power to transverse several dimensions still. But, when Michael the Archangel throws him out, he will be trapped in time forever! (Revelation 12:7-12)

     Through worship, proclamation of the Word, through seeking Him with all our heart, through obedience, through not letting the things of this earth control our mind and emotions, we can literally sit with Him in heavenly places. This is our high privilege.

     Brothers and sisters, we were created for eternity! We were not created to be victims of time. [Refer to: “Identity Theft – Restoring the Truth About Who You Really Are”/March 18, 2016]

    His dimension is not up in the sky somewhere, but near us. Abba has the ability to compress time for us, to take us where He wants us to go. I’ve experienced some of this. I’ve been in His realm, but He has also come to me throughout my life. I am a child of eternity, just like you are. I have had “visitations” by set-apart messengers from the past a lot of times, but all is related to the whole of Word and for His purposes. There is such peace in it! Be led by peace in your spirit!

     No, I do not seek experiences!  We must never seek experiences! We don’t have to seek them. They just happen as we walk by faith and obedience to His will. The fruit of it always peace and joy!

     Dreams and visions are like that with many of you, too. They are as real to you now as they were when you first received them.  One example of mine: In 2003, in the old city of Jerusalem, in the area where the Garden once entered within earth’s time, I saw Messiah face to face. He welcomed me graciously to the ruins of Bethesda, after speaking to the words “after 38 years.” It was a total surprise. I was there to take photos of the ruins for Derek, who, in 2003, was attending Bethesda Community Church. As I then walked through the ruins of Bethesda, He removed the suffering and pain, the deep mental and emotional wounds I’d carried for 38 years in the very place where Messiah healed the man after 38 years–John 5. He took the torment of those life-destroying things so far away from me that I have not had a thought of them with any hurt since then.  I can remember the past in a dull way, but it does not hurt me anymore, nor does it affect my decisions in the present. I only have excitement at being with Yahushua and in the presence of Yahuwah my Abba!

     This is not mysticism, the occult, esoteric rhetoric, spiritism, or any kind of
“flaky stuff,” which is all from the dark kingdom. The things of Elohim are not weird and spooky. People can get weird and spooky, but not those who know Elohim personally.      Look at all the miracles of our brothers in the past – they were not weird and spooky. Interaction with the Creator was normal to them!

     My purpose in writing this is to give you hard core, whole Word solid reality, to help you prepare for the tribulation that is fast approaching us, and the return of Messiah, so that you can stand before Him and hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in little; I will set you over much–enter into the joy of your Master.” (Matthew 25:21) Remember II Chronicles 15:2) He is a Father. He wants children that reflect His nature!

     There is danger to be avoided. Do not seek experiences! Lean heavily on the gift of the “discernment of spirits,” and peace from Abba. Remember Romans 8:14: “They that are led by the Spirit—they are the sons of Elohim.” Know the nature of Yahuwah. Know His Word. Know Him!  The two kingdoms are very different, but Satan is good at counterfeiting. Do not be deceived. By tuning into the Spirit’s direction from your own spirit, you can avoid ALL deception. By knowing the Word taught to you by the Spirit, you can avoid ALL deception.  Be disciplined, be diligent, be passionate in your loyalty and love for the Master. Your eternity depends on it!

          Yahuwah wants to give His secrets to His servants – Daniel 2:20-22 and Amos 3:7. Abba does nothing unless He first tells His servants what He is about to do. You don’t need to waste your time listen to, or reading multi-books by, end-time “bible scholars,” who each have their own opinions. You can get your information directly from Yahuwah Himself. He will lead you to the information that He wants you to have – don’t put limits on Him. He is very inventive, creative, and loves surprises!

     The Word is so full of extra dimensional eternal reality–of Yahuwah entering into our time to share Himself with us as our Abba, of Messiah’s entrance into our time to save us and free us from our slavery to enemies of the dark kingdom. Is there anything higher in than the fact that your Creator wants a family, and He wants you to be a part of it!

     From Gary Stearman’s Time Travelers of the Bible:  From page 2: “By nature, we are meant to live in the eternal state, and never be fully satisfied while trapped in time. In the sea of books, only the Bible speaks authoritatively on the subject of time travel. Furthermore, its pages are not theory, but fact, based on history. Only the Bible sees the future and the past as one, thereby giving sense to the present.”

     Isaiah 46:9-10: “Remember the former things of old, for I am El, and there is no one else – Elohim – and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from of old that which has not been done, saying `My counsel shall stand, and all My delight I will do.’ ”

     Page 25 from Gary’s book about this Scripture: “Here He graciously pleads with Israel to remember `the things of old.’ These are the things of eternity, represented by the Hebrew word olam …He asks Israel to remember eternal things, not the transitory idols of this earth.”

     Page 27 of Gary’s book: “To travel in His realm, we must know the Master of Eternity. False prophets follow their own fleshly urges or the whisperings they hear from the dark side. They are not connected to the Source of information.”

     Page 30 of Gary’s book: Genesis 5:24: “`And Enoch walked with Elohim, and he was not, for Elohim took him.’ ” Enoch was in such close fellowship with God that he was able–literally–to step through the dimensional wall.”

    Jeremiah 1:4-5: “The Word of Yahuwah came unto me saying, `Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came out of the womb I set you apart, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations.”

     From Gary’s book regarding the above Scripture, page 35: “The prophet is ordained on the basis of the Lord’s certainty that his ordination did not take place on a timeline, but in the realm of eternity.”

     He knew us before the foundation of the world and called us to Himself. This took place in eternity. (Matthew 13:35; Matthew 25:34; John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; I Peter 1:20; Revelation 13:8; 17:8)

     So many times, the prophets were literally taken to different sites from which to see things from Abba’s dimension and write about it for us. He wants to share with you, too.

     Do you realize that Adam and Eve walked and talked with the pre-incarnate Yahushua?  They spoke the languages of angels. Enoch walked with Elohim and went into His dimension. Abraham spoke with the pre-incarnate Yahushua, and was called ‘the friend of Elohim.”  Ya’cob (Jacob) also spoke with Him, and wrestled with Him. Yahushua gave him his new name–“Israel.” Moses spoke with Him many times, going into His dimension many times. Moses lived in His Presence. Others saw and spoke to Him. Yahushua is known in the Tenach as the “malak of Yahuwah,” — the angel, or messenger, of Yahuwah. He is known in the Tenach as the arm and right hand of Yahuwah, the Servant of Yahuwah, the Branch (netzer) and the only begotten (brought-forth) Son. Indeed He traveled from the eternal realm and took on flesh, entering into time, where death is an always-present reality.

     Eliyahu went up into that realm of paradise, into His dimension. Elisha saw into the dimension of Yahuwah and saw the angels on the mountains ready to defend him. (II Kings 2 and I Kings 6:1-17) Ezekiel was quite a time-traveler. Many of the prophets were transported here and there to do their prophesying. Oh do I long for that time – airline travel is getting harder and harder (smile).  Isaiah saw the throne room of Yahuwah. All the prophets had visitations from Abba, and proclaimed what He told them. Deacon Philip was transported from Gaza back to Samaria after fulfilling his instructions from Yahuwah. Yochanan the disciple/Apostle was caught up into Yahuwah’s dimension and was given the Revelation of Messiah Yahushua.

     You see, time was created for the purpose of our redemption! If there was no need for redemption there would have been no reason for time!

     Looking down through the ages, before the foundation of the world, the Lamb was “slain” for our salvation.  Yahushua was brought forth for our redemption. Yahuwah knew we would fall prey to Satan. So in His creation of the heavens and earth, He had to include time, with its arrow of entropy. Oh what we lost! But, oh what can be redeemed, and will be redeemed because of Yahushua our Beloved Savior! Yahuwah is taking us back to Genesis 1:1 where we will live on earth, but in eternity also (Revelation 21-22). Luke 12:21-48: “…for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

“Take Me In To the Holy of Holies” sung by Kent Henry in his  …

Verse:

Take me past the outer court

And through the Holy Place

Past the brazen altar Yah, I want to see Your face

Pass me by the crowds of people

And the priests who sing their praise

Yah I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness

And it’s only found one place

Chorus:

Take me into the Holy of Holies

Take me in by the blood of the Lamb

Take me into the Holy of Holies,

Take the coals, touch my lips

Here I am

Shalom dear brothers and sisters! I write with wonder and awe, in His love,
