The Man-Child Escapes 

Anonymous – 2021 (David’s notes in red) 

I had a dream where I was watching in third person, a young man who had blonde hair and blue eyes. (This man represents the corporate Man-Child ministry who is submitted to the sun/Son with heavenly sight.) 

The man stood in the lounge room of my Gramps. He was speaking the Real Good News to Gramps and the Holy Spirit moved upon him, and he fell to his knees looking at the ground, crying a godly cry and begging God for forgiveness and thanking Him for Jesus. He saw his sin and realized his desperate need for Jesus, and he called on our Lord with all of his heart, soul and body. 

It was made known that he had surrendered his life to God. I then saw gold and white sparkles all around Gramps. This blonde man knew in spirit that he had to quickly leave. He left Gramps there with the Lord and went to go walk out the door. I felt that Gramps was about to be taken up to Heaven. (Heavenly places in Christ)  

(Taken up to heaven represents being born from above in order to return there and given a new Spirit to be a new creature in Christ. Joh 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  

Eph 2:4-6 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:) 

Just before he got to the door, he looked down the corridor to his left and saw Gramps’ wife standing there with a furious facial expression. It felt that she had such hatred for him and wanted to kill him. Her eyes were red (meaning danger, violence and aggression) and the demons could be clearly seen in her.  

The man quickly went out the door as she chased after him screaming at him in utter rage. I watched this man run down the street, and every person came out of their houses to try and get him. (Coming out of their houses and going after this man represents that they can no longer hold back the contempt they have for God. They are no longer being restrained.) All the people had either green (meaning envy or jealousy) or red eyes and the demons were clearly seen in them. They were all so angry and had such hatred. They were screaming and threatening. Some of the people had shovels, pitchforks and other items and acted as if they were ready to kill him. 

(All these people represent those who are of the world with an antichrist spirit who hate the Word, and righteousness, like the factious, the apostate harlot church, those with a Jezebel spirit, and the beast. They are all used to persecute the Saints of God. In the Gospels, the Pharisees, and all the religious leaders plotted and sought to kill Jesus because of their jealousy. Jesus told His disciples that as they hated me, they will also hate you, because of me. Joh 15:18-25) 

NENT Luk 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall ostracize you and reproach, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.  Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman [the harlot] drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder. 

All the people were acting like zombies, sort of like the zombies in the movie ‘I Am Legend’. They were fast and had so much supernatural energy and they could smell that this man was close and that’s how they knew he was there. (Zombies represent all the ‘walking dead’ who are of the worldly Beast; they are “dead” without eternal life because they do not believe in Christ. 1Jn 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death.  And in the Harlot church, Rev 3:1….I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead.)  

The blonde man was super-fast and no one could catch up with him. He ran past them all, not looking to the left or right or behind him. (Luk 4:28-30 And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things; 29 and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way.) 

The man’s presence felt pure, innocent, peaceful and he was calm and gentle. I felt that he had compassion for everyone. He felt bad for those that were against him, but he was so grateful to God for His grace. (The Man-Child body will manifest the complete nature of Christ in them, walking as He walked.) 

I watched this man as he ran through the streets where the people came after him in anger acting like zombies. The man ran to a street where no one was yet out in the streets, when a woman came out the front of a house and she was acting normal. He spoke the Word to her and she fell to the ground praising and worshipping God and began thanking Him for Jesus. I saw the same gold and white sparkles go around her. I felt that she too was about to be taken to Heaven.  (Heavenly places in Christ)

The man knew he had to leave now so he left, not looking back as he knew he had done what God wanted him to do. He was done in this town. (The Man-Child ministry and disciples of Christ will fulfil the great commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel from town to town. Mar 1:38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. Mat 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next ...) 

Multitudes of people all came out of their houses chasing after him in anger. I was zoomed-out so I could now see a larger area. I saw thousands, maybe tens of thousands of peoples in different hordes, all chasing after this man, but none could catch up to him. (Joh 7:30 They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come. Joh 10:39 They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.) 

I saw the spots that the sanctified lady and Gramps, were now just a little light in a bubble. Apart from them everything else was dark with zombies all running. (God’s children are protected in a bubble and seen as lights of glory in the spirit realm. Mat 5:14 YE are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.) NENT 2Co 4:6 Because it is God that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, unto enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in Christ’s face. 

The man ran out of this town and into another. When going into town he spoke to a few people about the Lord and then went into the center of the town. (Luk 4:43 But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent. Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.) 

On the front of a building, it had a ‘Wanted’ sign with a picture of what the man looked like in the previous town. But now he looked like a completely different person. He still had blonde hair and blue eyes but his face and hair style looked different to how it was in the previous town. (Col 3:3-4 For ye died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.) 

But it seemed like his face would change every time he went into a new town. (The Man-Child is a corporate body of many brethren who are manifesting the life of Jesus in their own bodies. He will appear to be a different person every place these men minister the Gospel.) So, people couldn’t recognize him unless they heard what he said. (Mat 15-17 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah:for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 

 

Luk 8:8 And other [seed] fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Luk 10:16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me. 

Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him:... Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.)  

It felt that everyone in the country knew about this man and they were all trying to find him. He went inside a public building packed with people. He spoke to one man about our Lord in front of everyone, and a few guys overheard and went and grabbed a security guard. The security guard arrested the man and took him upstairs and locked him in a room and called ‘federal police’ or something high-up like that. NENT Act 21:33 Then the colonel came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done. (Like the Romans did to Paul)

The guard left him alone in the room but before he even finished closing the door, I saw the man walk through the wall on the other side and went out of the room and walk straight through the building out onto a balcony where he just jumped off. (The Man-Child corporate body will be walking in the anointing of the latter rain and in the Spirit. They will be able to walk through solid substances, like as Jesus passed through the midst of those trying to take him. There will also be many translations out of harm's way, and we have examples in the Bible of the angels setting the disciples free from prison by chains falling off and doors unlocked and opened before them.) 

No one even knew that he was gone. (Like when an angel sprang Peter out of prison before they could kill him.) He went on walking though the town speaking to those he knew would listen. Soon there were groups of people again chasing after him and he left the town. (Paul was chased from town to town.) NENT Act 5:19-20 But the Lord’s angel by night opened the doors of the prison, and brought them out, and said, 20 Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life. 25 And one came and reported [that] Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people. 

The next town he came to, he didn’t speak to anyone, but he walked through the city. My perspective then zoomed-out and I saw three missiles shoot and destroy this entire area where the man had been. It destroyed the buildings and many people died. I saw the people in this country and the reaction to everyone that had tried to kill him; they were all cheering and they were so happy. (This is how they felt and reacted to the death of the ‘Two Witnesses’ because they hated their righteousness and preaching the Gospel. [Rev 11:3-12] Rev 11:10 And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.) 

Then I saw the man appear in a bush in the middle of nowhere. I felt that he had been translated to this area just in time for the missile to go off. Everyone else was convinced he had died, and they were celebrating and stopped looking for him. (The Lord will translate His people out of nuclear blasts and all kinds of destruction and troubles. We have a Psalm 91 Passover.) 

NENT Act 8:39-40 And when they came up out of the water, the Lord’s Spirit caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Cesarea. 

I watched the man walk over in the bush to this barbed wire fenced enclosure. There were many people behind the fence, it seemed that they had been captured and being held there. (This sounds like the many FEMA camps that are being set up for the rebellious Christians and others.) Most of the people inside came running over to him as if they knew who he was and they were desiring to hear him. He spoke the Word of Truth to them and many believed and repented. (Many people in captivity will be repenting and ready to hear the Good News of the Gospel.) 

I then saw the man standing on top of the highest mountain (On top of Mount Zion.) looking down towards all the towns and places where he had travelled, and I felt he had done everything he needed to do.  

 

Our Heavenly Protection 

Marie Kelton 8/11/22 (David’s notes in red) 

I had an open vision of the Lord sitting next to me. He said, “Eat from the hand of God.” He then opened his hand and I saw food in it. (We have been given this time to eat the Bread from Heaven which is life to our soul. Joh 6:51  I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. Pro 9:4-5 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: As for him that is void of understanding, she saith to him, 5 Come, eat ye of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mingled. This represents the body and blood of Jesus.) 

I then saw two big angels standing by the side door with spears in their hands in the living room. 

I was asking the Lord about the demons that attack my mind all the time. One of the angels walked up to me and I could hear the clacking of his armor. I knew he was there to help me. (Yes, the angels are here to minister to us in our need. Heb 1:14 Are they (angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?) 

I asked him to help me with the spirits who were attacking me. (Mat 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you... 8 for every one that asketh receiveth... Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.) 

I then saw a huge demon to my right. The angel took his spear and stabbed the demon with it. When the angel pulled out the spear, I saw black liquid on it. I then saw two angels walking with a demon in between them. They were holding it up. The angels then stopped, and the demon was kneeling.  

(Php 2:9-11 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; 10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

Eph 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Col 2:15 having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.) 

 

Zion Will Escape Captivity 

Scott Davis - 07/24/2010 (David's notes in red) 

I had this dream, I believe it was early morning. In this dream, I was standing in a very large city, so wide and deep I couldn't see its edges. (Christianity) I was looking into it from the north to the south, so I could see east, west and south as far as I could see.  

I saw little off-white rectangular buildings. The city was set on a hilly surface but not mountainous, and the rectangular buildings were different in height - some were taller, some smaller and some were higher up than others because of the hills they sat on within the city. (This represents different levels of maturity in the sects of Christianity.) I was deep into the city, I believe more north, when water began to rise. Now I couldn't tell if the water was rising or the city was sinking or a combination of both, but it didn't matter, as the only way to survive would be to make it to higher ground. (This represents spiritual growth and maturing in Christ, walking in a more heavenly life.) 

The floor of this city was made of small rectangular stones perfectly set and arranged without cracks or imperfections. (This represents the simple foundation that Jesus is the Son of God Who gave His life as a sacrifice for us. Describing New Jerusalem in, Isa 54:11-13 …I will set thy stones in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. 12 And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones. 13 And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children.)  

As I looked out into the city, the water began to flood the city, swiftly and steadily filling the lower areas first. (The beast enemy coming in like a flood with those living on a lower level coming into captivity first.) I was alarmed but not in any panic and just began to move to higher ground that was behind me. (Isa 54:9-10 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10 For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee.) 

As I turned to look north into the city and move toward it, I walked about a few feet when I saw a majestic building I had never seen before because I hadn't been looking in that direction. Now I saw this sight: This building had stairs that surrounded it that slowly rose to its doors, and it looked like a library, a monument and a temple -- all in one. (Zion/New Jerusalem) As I stepped onto the grounds of this building, I noticed the water stopped rising and everything else was submerged and under water, except for this majestic building and its grounds within the city. I was in awe at the sight and at the fact the water stopped at the building's grounds. Then I woke up. 

I believe this is Zion and the Man-child (Revelation 11:1). The most wonderful thing about the dream was I was standing at least on the building's grounds and was safe from the rising waters. (This looks like Christian City with Zion in the midst. The areas being flooded is the same area the Beast conquered in the Assyrian invasion of Israel and Judah [2 Kings 18:11-13; 19:20-37]. Like this wonderful building, only Zion, which represents holiness, faith and maturity [Psalms 15; 24; 125] escaped. So it will be. Christianity will go into captivity but Zion, a type of the Bride with the Man-child at her head, will escape. Zion is a library of the knowledge of God, a monument of witness to God and the temple of God, all in one.) 

 

Supernatural Provision Travel 

Samuel Fire 3/20/23 (David’s notes in red) 

I had a dream that Tianna and I were in a car, or a large van, in the back seat. I didn’t see the person driving. Tianna was sitting very close to a newborn child which felt like our second child, and David was in the far backseat in a child’s seat. There was only one child’s seat in the vehicle (Except you become as a child, like the David Man-child body, you will in no wise enter the Kingdom of Heaven.)    David and Michael were sitting with Tianna, and I was sitting across from them. We were altogether as a close group. 

The police then stopped us and they saw us all protecting and caring for the baby, but since we had no spare child seat, I thought we were in trouble and going to be fined. They saw the very cute child and commented how it’s okay as you are all doing your best and the police let us drive on. (God always has favor on His righteous people and because we were in God’s will He protected us and showed us favor through men in police authority.) 

(Pro 16:7 When a man's ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 1Jn 3:22 and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.) 

Next, we were sitting in a train with many carriages. We had all our belongings with us and other people on the train had theirs, and we were going somewhere, but I didn’t know where. People kept leaving and getting on at each train stop. Each time the train stopped we were witnessing to people all we could. 

One guy was a tattoo shop owner and did drugs and alcohol. He was drawn to the truth and repented, and he wanted to give something to us in return. So, he asked, “How do we get money?” and I said, “God provides. I used to do stock market trading but now we live by the Word.” He said he would draw an image on the back of my white shirt. I was like ‘Okay’ as I didn’t want to offend him by refusing his request, and it is only ink and a shirt.  Afterwards I asked Tianna what was written on the shirt as I couldn’t see it. She said, “Stocks in Scriptures gets you blessings.” 

(Investing our lives in the Word and seeking the Lord and His righteousness, He will bless in all we need to do the work of the Kingdom. It is all done by His grace and faithfulness. Eph 1:2-3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ: Psa 37:3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness.) 

Then another guy, who didn’t say anything at all as we witnessed to him, and I felt he was German. He nodded a lot while both of us spoke to him. He had no emotion or facial expressions but just kept looking at us. Then after we talked to him, he suddenly got up and went to his belongings and just grabbed everything he had, which were really expensive items and gave them to us. He kept going back and forth carrying loads of items. (By seeking Father and doing His will, He provides all of our needs. Luk 12:31 Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. Php 4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.)  

NENT Luk 10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such as they have: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Luk 6:38 give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye measure it shall be measured to you again. 

The train then had a lengthy stop and I felt I should go find bags for all these items we were just given so we could take them off the train when we got to our destination. I asked Tianna and she said, okay. I was worried if I left that I would not make it back and miss the train and be cut off from Tianna and David. (Some people will miss the last train out because of worrying over stuff or trying to bring it all with them.)

When the doors opened, I saw market stalls, but nothing was set up yet. (A great setback to the marketing of buying and selling is here. Giving here brings it back multiplied when you need it later.) There were tables and shading set up, but the workers had not yet set out any items to sell. I ran out and asked the people at the first stall if they had bags. The first lady said no, but the office does. Another lady, who was like a manager, said the office is this way and pointed. I then ran to the office and said to the man there, “I need bags and I’m on that train and I can’t miss that train!” He said, “Calm down.” (An answer to stress and anxiety. Jesus said of the flowers and birds, how they are provided for and they don’t store up.) Just as he said this, the manager lady came in and spoke up for me saying, “It’s true, he needs them now.” 

The man started to give me paper bags and I thought, no I don’t like paper bags, they tear and break so easily, why not strong plastic or garbage type ones. (The people of God took what supplies they could to go into the wilderness. No doubt this allayed some of their fears so they could go but shortly it was all gone and faith had to bring them through.)

Just as I thought this, they found a roll of plastic garbage bags and I reached out my wallet to pay for them and saw that my wallet had thousands of dollars in it! I had no idea how they got there. I was going to give a $100 to the man for the bags, but I felt that Tianna would ask why I gave him so much. I was then given the roll for free, and they smiled; then I ran and I made it back to the train. Then I woke up. (Jesus said, Freely you have received freely give. We can do this because it will be there multiplied when we need it.)

 

New Jerusalem – The Restoration of David’s Throne 

We read in the Bible that God always repeats history: (Ecc.3:15) That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. What we will study here is Biblical evidence that God is bringing again the Kingdom of David. Of course, He brought it in Jesus’ time and He’s bringing it again in our time. I’d like to look at a few parallels, so we can learn more about the Man-child and the Bride. 

We know that when Jesus came, that was the Son of God coming in the body of a Son of David. That would be the Man-child body in these days. As we’re going to see, this was in order to manifest through that Son of David His presence upon the earth and to bring forth the Covenant. (Act.15:14) Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. (15) And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, (16) After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen…. “I will return” is speaking of the Lord’s return. But also, it says here, “I will build again the tabernacle of David.” Why “the tabernacle of David”? Why not just “the tabernacle” that was used by Israel since the time of Moses? He said that because He is identifying a restoration of the time of David and, of course, Jesus came as David. “I will build again the tabernacle of David,” not the Temple as a building, but the tabernacle.  

In the time of David, there was only a tabernacle, which represents the temporary, mobile dwelling place of these bodies as a temple for the Lord. Also we are headed into the wilderness tribulation where a mobile tabernacle is needed. He goes on. (16) … And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up: (17) That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called. So this tabernacle of David is for the restoration of the Gentiles, to bring them into the Kingdom, make them a temple/tabernacle for God and to restore again the time of David. He’s restoring everything about the Kingdom concerning David, which was a type and a shadow of Christ’s time and of the end-time.  

And, as we’re going to see, not only was He restoring the tabernacle of David, but He was restoring a city of David. (Heb.12:18) For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest. He’s speaking here about the restoration of Mount Zion. This was in general to the Hebrew Christians, not just the Hebrews at Mount Zion or in Jerusalem. He tells the Hebrews in that day that he is not talking about a physical Mount Zion in Jerusalem because this text says, “For ye are not come unto a mount that might be touched.” He continues, but ye are come unto mount Zion (22). So it’s not a physical mountain that we can touch; it’s a spiritual mountain made for a spiritual people.  

We’re not physical Jews, we’re spiritual Jews, born-again Jews. The spiritual man is a Jew, “Christ in us”, not the natural man. We have a King David being raised up over us and that’s the Lord Jesus Christ. So you see that we have come unto Mount Zion and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them (19). The Israelites told Moses, “Don’t let God speak to us. If He speaks to us, we’ll die. You go up there and talk to God for us.” (Deuteronomy 5:23-25).

They wouldn’t touch the mountain. Moses was the one who climbed the mountain; Moses was the one who received, as the firstfruits, the glory of God. In fact, he came down with the glory of God all over his face; he shone. Moses even had to put a veil upon his face in order to deal with the children of Israel. The veil, the New Testament tells us, is the flesh. Moses was glorified in spirit and soul underneath that veil of flesh.  

The Israelites didn’t want any more Word to be spoken to them and they were fearful. (20) For they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned. Of course, the beast represents the old man, the carnal life. They knew that to climb that mountain they would have to lose their old life to enter into the presence of God because the mountain represented holiness; it represented death to self, death to flesh. (22) But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels.  

So we see the heavenly Jerusalem is being restored for the heavenly people, the spiritual Jerusalem for the spiritual people. The spiritual Tabernacle is not physical anymore; it is God’s people, the people who will be traveling through this coming wilderness. That’s why we need the Tabernacle, because we’ll be traveling through the wilderness. (23) To the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. That’s what this mountain represents. On top of Mount Zion is the heavenly Jerusalem. The mountain represents the city in which David was king and in which the presence of the Lord dwelt.  

We know that Jerusalem itself represents the Bride. John was told, Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must come to pass hereafter (Rev.4:1). He was shown the heavenly Jerusalem: (Rev.21:2) And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. … (9) … Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. (10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It was coming down out of heaven from God, as it is today. 

As a matter of fact, Revelation chapter three says the same thing. That’s very important because some people don’t believe that Jerusalem is coming down now. We need to know that God is rebuilding Jerusalem in spirit, soul and body because Jerusalem is the Bride and right now the Bride is upon the earth. Jesus said to the Church of brotherly love, Philadelphia, in (Rev.3:12) He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name. The name (Greek: nature, character, and authority.) of the Lord will be on this Bride. We see the city “cometh” (present tense). It’s coming down out of heaven. It’s still going to be coming at the end, down out of heaven, except at the end, the Bride will have her new body and she’ll be visible to all creation as she is coming down out of heaven upon the earth.  

Right now, the Bride is being born from above, spirit and soul, but we don’t see those things. We see that God is restoring this Mount Zion, which is the Kingdom of God on earth. For 2000 years we’ve been in a falling-away state, a backslidden state. God’s people were taken captive to Babylon, to false religion, false ideas. They missed out on the true Gospel that they need to cause them to walk as Christ walked in the Kingdom. Right now, once again, just as in Jesus’ day, God is restoring the tabernacle of David. He is restoring the Kingdom of God. He is restoring the New Jerusalem, which is the Bride, and He’s restoring the place of David as king.  

The virgin Mary was prophesied by the angel Gabriel, God’s chief messenger angel, that she was going to bring forth the fruit of Jesus. (Luk.1:30) And the angel (Gabriel) said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. (31) And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. In Revelation 12 we’re told the exact same thing. The woman arrayed with the sun with the 12 stars over her head brings forth the Man-child. So this is a parallel, except in our day we’re talking about a corporate birthing of a Man-child because every time history repeats, it repeats with larger groups of people. This individual woman, Mary, brought forth an individual Man-child.  

The woman in Revelation 12 represents the Church and she is bringing forth a corporate Man-child. She is corporate and the Man-child is corporate. (32) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. So, once again, we see the restoration of the kingdom of David, the tabernacle of David, the city of David, the mountain and now the King.  

In the last chapter, we discovered that God was going to raise up a Man-child, a corporate Man-child of David in these days and that they were to lead the Bride, to be the head of the Bride. We know that Jerusalem was the Bride, according to Revelation. We also know that David dwelt in Jerusalem and he lived and ruled over the people in Jerusalem, which is, in general, where the leadership of the 12 tribes dwelt. The representation of the leadership of the 12 tribes was there and so was the tribe of Judah. David led them; he was their head.  

There are many similarities between the Man-child and the Bride, like being caught up to the throne and all the parallels that they’re all caught up to the throne. But we also discovered in the last chapter that there are two thrones. There is a throne of David and there is the throne of the Bride. (Jer.3:17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord…. Of course, Jerusalem is a lot bigger throne than the throne of David because we’re talking about a much larger group of people. The Bride is not all of the Church. We’ve been lied to about that because in every other place in the Scriptures the types and shadows prove that this is just not the case.  

As we know, Jerusalem wasn’t all of Israel. There were the 12 tribes that were spread throughout the kingdom and there were the other mountains throughout the kingdom. These were not all members of the Bride. Obviously, we have to make room for the bridesmaids, the friends of the Bridegroom and all the others who join the Marriage Feast. So we see that the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David (Luk.1:32). Now wait a minute – He’s the Son of the Most High, but He gives unto Him the throne of His father David. That means He has two fathers!  

We know from John, That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which born of the Spirit is spirit (Joh.3:6). Jesus was the Son of God in His Spirit (Romans 1:4) and He was the Son of David according to the flesh (verse 3). In other words, God used Mary, through the seed of the woman, to bring forth the Man-child, to bring forth Christ. So He was truly Son of man and Son of God, and so it is also in the end-time.  

Just as in Jesus’ day, when God sent the Son of God into the flesh of a son of David, so it is that God once again is going to send the Son of God to earth to dwell in the flesh of a son of David. It isn’t the flesh that the people can glorify, it is the Son of God Who dwells inside. He can use any flesh. Man gets neither the credit nor the glory, but the Son of God Who is coming into our midst is not only coming into His Davids, He’s coming in His Bride and He’s coming in His people everywhere through their ministry. (Col.1:27) … Christ in you, the hope of glory.  

The Scripture also tells us to “see” Him in the mirror. (2Co.3:18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. This means, of course, that as we walk by faith, we believe that we’ve received Christ in all of His nature, all of His righteousness and all of His truth. We believe that there has been a reconciliation, an exchange, as we walk by faith and see Him in the mirror, reckoning that we don’t live anymore, but He lives in us. Then righteousness is imputed to us and God brings it to pass.  

The firstfruits of these, of Christ coming to be manifested in His people, is the David Man-child ministry. Gabriel goes on to say, and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end (Luk.1:33). When Jesus came in a body of the son of David, that was the beginning of the time that Jeremiah 33 speaks about, when “David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel” (Jer.33:17). That was not fulfilled before Jesus came along because there were thrones that a seed of David did not sit upon and, even at Jesus’ time, Israel was being ruled over by the Roman Empire.  

But we know that when Jesus came, from then on forever, He is the One Who sits upon the throne, the One Who rules over the House of David. That He ruled in a body of David at that time was a sign, a symbol, that He is going to rule through a body of David in our time. He says, “And of His Kingdom there shall be no end.” That makes Jesus the One Who is the very center of importance.  

The Bible says, He that sayeth he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked (1Jn.2:6). How is it that we are members of the body of Christ? It’s when we walk in His steps. The Lord has shown me in the New Testament that that’s exactly the way everybody brings forth their heritage because we can only abide in Jesus when we walk in His steps. Different people are called to different ministries in the New Testament and we are spiritual offspring because we have received their spiritual seed into our life. So that heritage has been passed on to us and walking in the steps of Jesus is the only way we can prove that we are His seed. 

Now what is the throne of David? We’re told more about the throne, for instance, where the Queen of Sheba visits the son of David, Solomon, the prince of peace, representing Jesus Christ. Solomon is a symbol here of both Jesus Christ in His day and Jesus Christ in this day. He’s coming in both cases as a “seed of David,” not a physical seed of David in our day, but a spiritual seed of David. The Queen of Sheba says to Solomon, Blessed be the Lord thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne (This is speaking about the throne of the Lord. We think about a throne up in heaven but we see here that God has a throne on earth.), to be king for the Lord thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness (2Ch.9:8). In other words, God is going to use vessels down here as His new leadership for the Church. He is delivering God’s people from the Saul leadership and He is bringing them this time to the David leadership.  

This is not going to be anybody glorifying flesh here; this is going to be the Lord, once again, coming in humble flesh in order to do His work and to be the spiritual leader over His people. When Jesus came to sit upon the throne of David, the people around Him didn’t see flesh being glorified there. Obviously, they expected someone to come as a king and rule over flesh but they were very mistaken, so they did not recognize, nor accept, Jesus for Who He was. Once again, I believe that the Lord is coming in humble means, not the kind of king that the world would look for.  

Notice, “to set thee on his throne.” That term is also used here: (Rev.12:5) And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. Well, can we suppose that the Man-child is not caught away to heaven, as we think of heaven, but to heavenly places? This does not exclude THE heaven either. This Jerusalem that God has restored, that Paul said the Church had come to, was “heavenly Jerusalem.” It’s a spiritual place on earth, in a mountain, a spiritual mountain called the Kingdom of God on earth. And now we see that the David whom God raised up, both in Jesus’ time and in this time, is the one in whom the Son of God lives.  

That David is sitting upon God’s throne on earth. He said, He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I overcame, and sat down with my Father in His throne (Rev.3:21). Jesus overcame and He sat down on the throne of God, which, once again, is an earthly place though a spiritual place. The kingdom of David has been restored, both in Jesus’ day and in our day. Of course, Jesus, the Son of God, rules in both bodies of the son of David.  

The Bible says that the Lord will shepherd His sheep. How is He going to do that? He spoke specifically in Ezekiel 34 of David doing it, but at the same time He said that He would shepherd His sheep. How is He going to do it if David does it? It’s very simple: He’s coming in David to do it. And He’s coming in all of us who love the Lord and depart from unrighteousness. He is coming in us; He’s coming in a firstfruits to rule and to reign, to lead God’s people back to the ways of righteousness, to rebuild the tabernacle of David and the kingdom of David.  

The Queen of Sheba said, “to set thee on His throne, to be king for the Lord thy God.” In other words, this Man-child leadership is coming as the seed of David and it’s going to be God, in them, ruling. I previously pointed out, At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations (Gentiles) shall be gathered unto it, to the Name of the Lord, to Jerusalem (Jer.3:17). Jerusalem represents the Name of the Lord, which is the nature, character and authority of the Lord. So, we see a throne within a throne. We see David’s throne in Jerusalem but we see all of Jerusalem as the throne and also the Bride. This is what God is restoring. He is restoring the kingdom of David; He’s restoring the Bride and He’s restoring the Bridegroom. Yet again … the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride (Jer.33:10- 11) will be heard in Jerusalem. 

John the Baptist verified Who Jesus was. (Joh.3:25) There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying. (26) And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. (27) John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven. (28) Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. (29) He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice….  

Jesus was the first-fruits, but there was a first-fruits unto Him. The disciples John saw following Jesus at the time, those first-fruits unto Christ in those days who followed Him out of apostate Judaism, those are who the Bride was in that day. “He that hath the bride is the bridegroom.” Jesus, Who was the Man-child born of the virgin, was also David as King and all these types and shadows are coming together to show us that He was the Bridegroom. David was the head of Jerusalem and was the head of the Bride while being a member of the Bride, as he ruled in Jerusalem, which the Bible says is the Bride. Here we see Jesus leading His disciples, who were the Bride that He was raising up and teaching, as the firstfruits and head of that body. He was raising up the firstfruits from out of the apostate denominations of Judaism.  

Once again, God is going to raise up a Bride and the Bible says in Song of Solomon that she’s one, she’s the choice one of her mother. He called her there the Shulamite, which means “perfect one.” He’s once again raising up a body of believers that are one, not defiled with all the women that Revelation 14 speaks about. This body of believers is not broken up into sects, divisions or strifes, which Paul said in Galatians chapter five was the work of the flesh.  

Once again, God is bringing together a Bride out of the apostate denominations of Christianity, parallel to those in Jesus’ day who were coming out of apostate Judaism. God is doing His awesome work again. Once again, we’re about to see the Bridegroom guiding the Bride, raising up the Bride, being the head of the Bride. Who is that Bridegroom? It is Jesus Christ, coming to fellowship with His Bride, in another seed of a son of David, which was what Solomon represented as the seed of the son of David.  

Remember that Jesus, John and Paul all spoke about a great “falling away” that would immediately follow those days in which Jesus raised up the kingdom of David on earth again (Acts 15). What does a great “falling away” mean? It just means that when they were walking in the power of the Spirit, in the truth of the Son of God, in repentance and all the things that we call the full Gospel, there very quickly came a backsliding, a “carrying away to Babylon.” This is according to type. All through the Scriptures, when God’s people backslid, their city Jerusalem was destroyed. This happened following the Book of Acts, where it talks about raising up the tabernacle of David.  

Not very long after that, in 70 A.D., natural Jerusalem was destroyed. Spiritual Jerusalem was destroyed, too, when they departed from the spirits of just men made perfect (Heb.12:23), as he called it. They fell into the Dark Ages and there was a falling away of the power of the truth, a falling away of the power of the signs and wonders of the full Gospel in the people who were His Bride. The people in our day who are members of the body of the Bride are going to look just like those people who followed Jesus. There won’t be any difference. Jesus is coming again to restore all things that have been taken from us over the years. He’s going to restore, once again, the kingdom of David. He’s always been King on the throne over His true people, but now He’s going to restore the kingdom of David on earth.  

Now let’s look at Jeremiah again: (Jer.33:10) Thus saith the Lord: Yet again there shall be heard in this place (He’s talking about Zion in Jerusalem), whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast. God is going to restore that city. He’s bringing His people back to this born-again city because the city is the Bride. That city will be born spirit, soul and body, just like the individuals who make up the body of that city. It’s going to be restored spirit, soul and, ultimately, body at the end when they see the Lord Jesus return.  

We see here in Jeremiah that after a time of falling away, a time of the destruction of that city, God is going to restore it. (11) The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good…. The Lord is very plainly saying that once again in this city, these things are going to be heard; these things are going to be seen.  

How is it that the voice of the Bridegroom is going to be heard? The Bridegroom is Jesus Christ, so how is His voice going to be heard? His voice is going to be heard because He has come once again in the body of the Man-child and the Bride which have come out of the denominations, the sects, the apostate teachings of Babylon. They’re coming back to Zion. Babylon represented a falling away into captivity, an apostasy. Now they’re returning out of that apostasy to the true Zion, which is returning to the Word, returning to the gifts, returning to the Giver and returning to the presence of God. The presence of God, His Temple, was in Jerusalem; it wasn’t in Babylon. And once again, in these days, this is what God is restoring. He’s given me visions of it over the years.  

Now we see that, once again, the voices of the Bridegroom and Bride will be heard in this city. Not only that, He also promises us this: (12) Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. Once again, we’re seeing the parallel, the Bride and the Bridegroom, the shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. Then He goes on to talk about the restoration of the kingdom of David in our day. The rest of this chapter is all about the shepherds that He’s raising up, called the Branch.  

In Jeremiah 23, they’re called the New Shepherds that God was going to promote over His people and they’re called the Branch there, also. And here in Jeremiah 33, He speaks about the Branch of David in verse 15. The corporate name of this body of the Branch of David was called “The Lord Our Righteousness.” “Our” meaning, of course, that it’s a corporate body.  

Up until the time that Jesus came, the following verse was never fulfilled: (17) For thus saith the Lord: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne the Son of David. He has come, once again, in a Man-child, in order to raise of the house of Israel. And now there has always been a David because Jesus, from generation to generation, is the head over His people. He is the eternal Son of David and so David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of Israel. There have been good shepherds who ruled according to Jesus the Word in their hearts. As we’ve seen, thrones can be very corporate in the end-time.  

We discovered in Jeremiah 3:17 that all Jerusalem is a throne. That’s a big throne! And when He says, He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne (Rev.3:21), what do you think that means? Some people think, “Oh, it’s just talking about a throne up there in Heaven somewhere.” But no, there is a very present manifestation of this because the Bride is going to sit down next to the Groom on the throne and Who is the Groom? The Groom is Jesus Christ manifested in His sons of David in this day. God is raising up the Kingdom of David again.  

Jerusalem, the Tabernacle, the King – He’s raising it all up. Is it a spiritual thing? Yes, of course. It’s not physical because we don’t pass on our seed the way natural Israel did. Our circumcision is of the heart and not of the flesh, Romans 2:29 tells us. Once again, we see that David will forever rule upon his throne. It doesn’t matter what vessel he rules through.  

(Jer. 33:20) Thus saith Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season; (Notice here: As long as there is night and day, God is never going to break His covenant to have a seed of David upon His throne. (Jer.33:21) Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. (22) As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Notice: He’s going to multiply the seed of David to sit upon the throne, to be new leadership and a head to the Bride. 

Esther is a really good example of the Bride, who represents Jerusalem, being used by the Lord to save the rest of Israel. The capital city of God’s people is Jerusalem, so we see here the same thing. Here is a very interesting passage about the Jewish marriage feast from the Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible, under “Marriage” (page 97):

Note: My comments are outside the double quotes. I’ve also added some underlining for emphasis.  

“The bridegroom was the king for a week.

This is talking about the last week, Daniel’s 70th week, because the marriage feast was the last seven days before the bride and groom went to the groom’s home. Where is the Groom’s home? Well, it’s in Heaven. The last seven days are the most important seven days, or seven years, as each one of these days in Daniel’s 70th week represents a year (Daniel 9:27, a shabua, a “seven” or week).  

But the last seven days are very prominent because the last seven days that God’s people were in Egypt were called the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Now, once again, we are coming to a seven day-year Marriage Feast, which is the last seven days before going to the Groom’s home and the last seven days of unleavened bread before they leave Egypt, a type of the world.  

During the last seven days, the Jews also celebrated Succoth, which means “tabernacles,” so the last seven days also represent seven days in a temporary tabernacle before they tore it down and went to their permanent home. We are also going to our permanent home. God has given us a permanent body. This body is just a temporary tabernacle and we’ll only have it until the end of the seven days. Then God is going to give us that new tabernacle.  

So this last seven days is very important all through the Scriptures. In fact, all of the feasts have something to do with the end times.  

“The bridegroom was the king for a week” (the seven-day marriage feast). This time it’s seven years.  

“During the whole week, their majesties wore their festal clothes” (as they obviously sat upon the throne) “and did not work, and merely looked on at the games, except that now and then the queen joined in a dance. Accompanied by his (the bridegroom) friends.” (John the Baptist called himself the friend of the Bridegroom and, by the way, the friends of the Bridegroom are not the Bride) “with tambourines and a band, they went to the bride’s house.”  

Where is the Bride’s house? We know that the Groom’s home is in Heaven, so we know that the Bride’s house is here on earth. Where is the Bride now? Here on earth. She is being born from above – spirit, then soul and then, ultimately, body, right here on earth. So the wedding party goes to the Bride’s house, “where the wedding ceremonies were to start.” The ceremonies went on for seven days (representing seven years).  

“The bride, richly dressed, adorned with jewels, usually wore a veil which she took off only in the bridal chamber.” The veil represents several things: In 1 Corinthians 11, the veil represents a woman’s submission to her husband, but a veil also represents not being able to see this husband clearly until a certain time. Isn’t that something? In other words, they’re going to the groom’s home and at the very end she is able to see clearly, without a veil, what the groom looks like.  

“Escorted by her companions, the virgins,” (The virgins are not the Bride, but the virgins have a part in the ceremony at the end.) “they take their lamps at night, usually very late at night,” (like the parable in Matthew 25 says) “and they escort the bride and the bridegroom to the groom’s home.” That’s their part in the marriage ceremony. The home is obviously in Heaven.  

Let me explain here that the bride, during the time of the marriage feast, is betrothed to the husband. She has all the rights of a wife, except she has no personal contact with the groom. The Bride, during the seven days of the Marriage Feast, is a story of the Book of Esther. The Book of Esther is all about her exercising her authority over the Beast and over the people of God to deliver them, in a time when the Beast was seeking to wipe them out.  

That is an awesome story that we’ll study in the next few chapters. But the Bride has all the rights of a wife who is the queen and who is under the authority of the Groom. And she will exercise her authority the same way Esther exercised her authority to save the people of God. Mordecai said to her, Who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? (Est.4:14). What time was that? It was the time to save the people of God from the Beast. We have a surprising thing that’s about to happen.  

Purim is a celebration of events being turned around. The Beast, Haman, was going to destroy all the people of God and he had raised up all of his kingdom to do this, yet the authority was given through Esther the Bride to all of the people of God to make a stand for their life. Many of the people of the kingdom under Ahasuerus became Jews because the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them. We’re talking about a great revival of people coming out of the world and becoming members of the body of Christ, becoming God’s people. The whole story is in the Book of Esther, from beginning to end, of a great revival and a saving of God’s people. 

We have the idea of nothing but a massacre during the Tribulation. Yes, there will be a massacre of a lot of people who are tares among the wheat and goats among the sheep, but of the true people of God, the ones who are actually spiritual Jews, we’re going to see God’s salvation manifested in many powerful ways as they “stand for their lives”. He will deliver His people in a time much like when Moses came to deliver God’s people out of Egypt with great manifestations of God’s power. Moses represented the Man-child in his time, Jesus and David in their times, and Joseph in his time, so we see that more than one Man-child has been manifested to bring the knowledge of God’s salvation.  

When Jesus led the Bride (“he that hath the bride is the bridegroom”), He led them into the knowledge of God, for instance, such as the knowledge of provision in the wilderness. When Jesus multiplied the fishes and the loaves, it was because He led the Bride into the wilderness, like Moses led Israel into the wilderness and there they received the supernatural provision of God. There is nothing to fear about these days to come. The Lord is sending a leadership; He’s sending the power to multiply the fishes and the loaves, and for manna to come out of Heaven. Jesus said that He was that provision from God; He was the manna (which, actually, is translated “man” in one place in the Old Testament). He was the Man Who came out of Heaven, Who gives life to the world. Moses was a provision in his day.  

Don’t worry about the time to come. Put your faith totally in the Lord because the Lord is raising up a provision and the Man-child is the beginning of that provision that is going to be passed on to the Bride. The authority of the Bride, which is a much larger group of people, is going to be felt throughout the world. The fear of the world, as they see God’s provision and His angels round about His people, His protection, will come upon them so that many of the people of the world are going to want to become “Jews”; they’re going to want to become Christians in the coming days. We have a great revival coming, folks, and things are going to be turned around.  

Many have thought that the only thing we’re going to see is a massacre, but I have news for you: the Feast of Purim is going to be fulfilled, the great celebration of the salvation of God’s people from the Beast. That’s what Purim is all about. Read it – it was a great surprise.  

Many people read that and they wonder, “How does this fit with all the terrible things I’ve heard about the times to come?” Well, we need to put our faith in the living God. If you don’t have faith in God, the devil will take advantage of you. He will be able to conquer you. If you believe what the devil says, what your carnal mind speaks to you constantly, he is able to take advantage of that. You are giving him permission to rule over you. What we have to have is a renewed mind. We have to take up the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts and the destruction that is coming.
