UBBS Get Ready! He’s Coming Soon (2)

Get Ready! He’s Coming Soon (2) (audio) David Eells 7/02/23  The Lord Shaking the School  Marie Kelton 6/26/23 (David’s notes in red) During the meeting, I had an open vision. I saw a big school, that was made of yellow or gold bricks (The school is big because it is world-wide. The bricks are gold or the color of the sun/Son, because it is a righteous school where the righteous grow into the image of Christ and not religion.)  The sky was a pretty blue and there were no clouds (Which represents an unhindered view of heavenly things, which the righteous have.) I then saw the hands of the Lord come out of heaven and pick up the school, He turned it upside down and began shaking the school and things started falling out of it.  (The Lord shakes all the dross and impurities out of His people through trials and  persecution from the factious, so that all that is left remaining in us is pure gold, which represent the most valuable nature of Jesus. The trials and shakings that The Lord sends, cause the factious to fall away from the midst of the righteous, as these factious impersonators are really just ‘fool’s gold’.)  Marie got this word: Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. (All that is of man and not God must go for that belongs to the apostates.) Shaking  Tianna Fire 5/28/23 (David’s notes in red) I had this experience where the ground started moving heavily, as though it was shaking like an earthquake. (I thought that this was really happening, it felt more real than a vision.) I started having many thoughts and feelings of fear, and imaginations of the ground beneath me breaking, causing me to fall or that something would fall on me. I also had thoughts of dying and other crazy thoughts. All these thoughts and feelings jumped on me so quickly and suddenly and unexpectedly.   I didn't like or accept any of those thoughts, so I cast them down and thought, "No! God will protect me, even if He just lifts up the bed with me on it, and it floats in the air, while everything else gets destroyed.” “Or maybe God's going to translate me to the brethren now.” “Oh! I must go get dressed!” “Or will God dress me during the translation!?" (We replace the evil negative thoughts of unbelief with those of faith in the promises.)  2Co 10:4-5 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;)  Php 4:8-9 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.  Then the shaking stopped, and I realized nothing else was physically shaking anymore. I then heard the Lord ask me, "How are you going to react when these judgments really start manifesting? How will you respond when you see everything physically start crumbling and being destroyed? Will you stay in Me or run into the arms of fear? Will you stand on My Word and in bold Faith in the things you don't yet, see? Or will you give into doubt and let the enemy overcome you? I Am coming but many things must come first. I Am already here even though you don’t yet (physically) see Me. Are You ready? Be ready in season and out of season. Every moment. Stay with Me, no matter what is going on around you. I Am your only hiding place.”  One And The Same  Marie Kelton 6/26/23  During the meeting, The Lord gave me an open vision. I saw my spirit man sitting down in a dark tunnel. My spirit man was reading a book that had a black cover on it. I saw the Lord walk up to my spirit man in the tunnel and hand her a sword and a book with a white cover on it (the bible). My spirit man then got up and walked next to the Lord in the tunnel. (He is our Light in the tunnel of darkness.)  I asked the Lord what the black book was and He said, "Learning about darkness". (I was looking at videos from John Ramirez an ex satanist learning about spiritual warfare and the tactics of the enemy. Also watching videos about people exposing celebrities etc.) (We should be babes when it comes to learning about the things of darkness.) 1Co 14:20 Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. (If we study good we will know all evil.  But you cannot study enough evil to know all evil.  And the study of evil does not bear fruit like the gospel of the good news. Rom 16:19 ASV  For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore over you: but I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil. The Lord spoke to me about the sword and the book with white cover, He said that, "They are one and the same." (The Sword is both the Word of God and its ability to destroy the works of darkness like a sword. The books are the source of power and information, a dark source has dark power, and can lead into darkness. The Bible is the Word of Truth, which gives Life and freedom from darkness. The knowledge of good and evil.)  2Ti 2:15 Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.  A Sign of End Times  Tianna Fire 5/23/23  I dreamed I was walking around outside on a journey somewhere. I looked up at the sky and I saw Pegasus’s (satan disguises himself as an angel of light) unicorns, (perversion spirits) dragons, (satan principalities) and witches, (witchcraft from humans) flying all around the sky. (The residence of these enemies is normally in the 2nd heaven. But the sky is the first heaven.  They are being cast down.) I felt a strong urge to contact the Brethren. (These perversion and witchcraft spirits are everywhere in the world today and they are blatantly obvious in the open, for everyone to see. Just as in the days of Sodom.) (Rev 12:7 ASV  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.) I took shelter in a white concrete double garage that was empty. (White represents holiness and a double garage represents our human vehicles at rest and unity.) I pulled out my phone and went to the Brethren group chat to tell them what I saw, and I felt strongly that this was a sign that the end is closer than we think. (This casting down is at the beginning of the tribulation.)   I tried writing up what I saw, but my phone kept lagging and mis-typing, and it wasn't working properly, and not letting me write the message and send it properly. I accidentally clicked send as my phone was glitching but what was written was not what I meant to write. (The enemy attempts to hinder our communications that expose their plans.) So, I just did a voice message recording of what I saw and I was able to properly send it off. The Brethren responded that it is definitely a sign of the end times, as evil is now much greater and increasing, and no one can ignore it (NENT Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.)   I then heard a sound outside, so I went out and saw a father who had 15 daughters of all different ages, and they all had brown eyes. They were from New Zealand. (New Zealand means New Land of the Long White Cloud. Could this represent the glory cloud of God’s presence? It is made up of over 700 islands in the sea unified as one nation. 1Pe 2:9  But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession..) I asked where their mother was, and they said they all left her, and they are trying to find somewhere safe to go. (Leaving the harlot church system for safety.) I told them I knew where a refuge that brethren operate is located and that I would take them there, and they followed me back to the refuge.  Creation Groans  Tianna Fire 6/11/23  I physically kept feeling like the ground was moving gently and constantly, but like shivering. I kept feeling it for 6 hours no matter where I went. (The flesh is enmity against God, so it feels the judgement cometh.) Then I asked The Lord what this is I am feeling, and I saw in the Spirit that the earth and all of creation are breathing for God and all the earth is desperately waiting on and crying out to God, and I heard "All creation is groaning for the Sons of God to be made manifest". I felt this moving and shaking I was experiencing, was the creation and ground desperately wanting Jesus to manifest.   I then got these verses in context: NENT Rom 8:19-23 For the earnest expectation of the creation awaiteth the revelation of the sons of God. (The first manifestation of the sons of God is the first fruits Man-child reformers because the Son of God is manifested in them.) 20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also shall be freed from the bondage of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, WE ourselves also groan within ourselves, awaiting our adoption, the redemption of our body.  Ray of Light  Tianna Fire 4/12/23  I saw a Holy Angel representing Jesus and he was standing very close to me so He looked very big. I couldn’t see too much behind him because He was so close to me. (He is closer than our breath.) But suddenly I was able to see behind him and there were dark storm clouds surrounding the entire sky, except for a tiny ray of light shining through or in between a cloud. Everything else was dark, and I felt like an urgency, and He said "I Am coming". I felt He is so very close already, and not far away.  Rev 22:7 And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book.  Rev 22:12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is.  A Quick Change  Anonymous 6/21/23 (David’s notes in red)  “There will be a quick change coming soon and more of My Son will be manifesting through you and those that choose ALL of Me. I am increasing and quickly, be ready each moment. LET GO OF EVERYTHING that is NOT Me. Let go of ALL doubt and unbelief. Let go of all carnal and worldly thinking. Everything you think you know and what you know is changing into Me. You will begin to not recognize yourself, but you will see Me in you (and our other Brethren.)   Completely in unity in Me you will soon be, closer and closer each moment becoming one together fully in Christ. Time is now. Stop thinking and looking to the future (planning the future) or past but focus on each moment you are in now. I Am now. Time is now. My Son focused on this moment, His Mind was and is on all of you.   Let go of all the distractions that stop you from bathing in My presence. Let go of all those little sins you think are hidden, I see all, and I want all evil out of you. No evil is in My son as there will be no evil in His Bride, now and for eternity. Time is ticking and passing quicker than you think, things will start proceeding more rapidly. In an instance I will be; don’t look back.   Let go of all your carnal desires and senses and interests in this world. Face Me only. Look to Me. Think of Me. Communion with Me every moment. I Am in you and for you and everything is from Me. Look to Me and you will keep my peace, my joy and my pleasure that is beyond anything in the natural.   I am coming sooner, get ready now. Don’t miss out on the things I have for you. Each minute and second, I have a gift for you and when you aren’t in Me you miss out on what I wanted to give you. Don’t look away or to the enemy. Only Me. I Am coming and am already here; look and see”.   (I sense that this is going to be coming and happening quicker than we expect.)  The Lion Of Judah Comes To David's House  Vanessa Weeks about 5/23/23 (David’s notes in red)  In a dream, we of UBM were at David’s house for a meeting in the day time. (Representing the David Man-child's house.) The house looked different on the outside. It was in a neighborhood and had white steps going up to a white front door that had a screen door that opened from the right. (The white steps mean only those who walk righteously can come up and into the door to the right.)   Psalm 15:1-5 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?  (Zion) 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart; 3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor; 4 In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not; 5 He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.   I saw people coming to David’s house that I did not know. (Revival of people to come to a true house of God.) As people were coming in, some would put money in a basket that was attached to the bottom of the screen door. I knew in the dream that the money was for the ministry. I also saw Leon coming up the steps and into the door. (The lion of Judah - Jesus in the Man-child.) When he came in, he put bills in the basket. (His reward is with him, and that is in the scripture I received for the dream.)  I was surprised to see the money in the basket, because people in the neighborhood could see the money and I thought they could take it. No one was concerned about this, and then I woke up. (Isa 61:8 For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.)  I received by faith at random for this dream, Isa. 40:7. In context Isa 40:6-11 The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field. 7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass. 8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever. 9 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! 10 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm (Jesus, the arm of the Lord) will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those that have their young.   Father, thank You that Your breath blows on the fleshy people so their plans to steal or hurt us will fail. Thank You also that You are coming with Your reward, and Your recompense is before You.   One Body  Tianna Fire 4/21/23 (David’s notes in red)  I cut my finger and there was a lot of blood. I felt faint so I went and sat down. I was thinking about how something so small could hurt and affect me so much.  Then in response, I heard: "This is how My Body should feel when another member (brethren) gets hurt, going through a trial or suffering. When something in the body isn't functioning how it is meant to, it doesn't just hurt that area, but all other areas. It also affects the mind and a person’s thinking, and the body tries its hardest to fix or heal the hurting or broken area. When the body is in unity it quickly heals and restores what is broken. So, it is as when the brethren are in unity in order to help other brethren in need, the healing and deliverance manifests quicker. In unity there is much power, in unity the sick are quickly healed and captives are set free. There is much power in unity in the physical and spiritual. I Am one body, one Mind and so are My people. When the body relaxes and rests, it heals quicker; just as when you rest in Me your healing manifests. Be one mind, one soul, one spirit and one body. I Am One.”  Psa 133:1 A Song of Ascents; of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, That ran down upon the beard, Even Aaron's beard; That came down upon the skirt of his garments; 3 Like the dew of Hermon, That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion: For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, Even life for evermore.  Eph 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.  1Co 12:12-31 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?  18 But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now they are many members, but one body. (of Christ. He lives in His body by Word and Spirit.) 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: 23 and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; 24 whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;  25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.  29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you.  Mat 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest to your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.  Supernatural Experience: Lights  Raynaldo Portela 2023  My grandma died a few months ago, and I was so sad. My wife and I decided to go to San Diego, and while I was driving, beautiful thunders followed us for 6 hours. Then when we arrived in San Diego, I went to sleep, and I dreamed that I was praying for my grandma while she was dead in the bed. I prayed a few times, and she came to life, and she looked bright and beautiful, and she said, “My son, don't cry. I'm more alive than ever,” and she flew away. Then I looked to the sky and it was full of green, beautiful lights. I think those lights are called Auroras. (Even though this is a beautiful dream to comfort Raynaldo in the physical, there’s a spiritual revelation, in that the original Gospel, represented by the grandmother, is going to be revived by the fervent prayers of the saints for the end-times.)  UBM, Refuge from the Storm   David Eells In a vivid dream an elderly white-haired man sat at His desk looking at some papers. He was also watching me with an expression of pleasant approval as I lay on a couch next to Him, also looking at some papers. It was revealed to me that He was leaving me with a billion dollars to take care of His house and property. There were household servants who looked on. (The elderly white-haired man represents our heavenly Father who will provide Unleavened Bread Ministries with everything necessary to care for that portion of His house and property that He has left us to care for. The house represents His holy people and His property represents those who are under the blood and in the process of becoming holy. I represent UBM, which is a body of saints committed to preparing the elect to walk in the steps of Jesus. The papers we were looking at represent the Biblical, legal contract between the Father and us that guarantees all these things. The servants are the angels who serve His people to bring this to pass. I was lying down in a restful position, signifying that it would not be by the works of UBM. but as we rest from our own works the grace of God will bring it to pass.)   Afterward I saw myself walking through the house and looking out a front window. I saw that a storm was raging and that the property outside the boundaries of our property was being devastated. (Curt had a very similar dream that a fire burned right up to our property line but no further.) Trees were being blown away and the landscape was becoming desolate. (Looking out the front window is to look into the future, or what is before the house. The raging storm is tribulations to come. The world outside the property will be devastated to prepare a wilderness to motivate God's people to flee to the Kingdom of God through repentance and faith. This is abiding in Christ, the secret place of the Most High God. Trees blown away represent people's lives being destroyed who do not abide in the shelter of Christ.)   Next, I saw that inside the boundary of the property were all kinds of animals. I knew that the billion dollars was given to shelter and take care of these. (After the dream I thought how much this seemed like the beasts who fled to Noah's ark for safety from the storm to come. Solomon taught that men are as beasts. Ecc 3:18-19 I said in my heart, [It is] because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are [but as] beasts. 19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity. I have shared in our teachings that the different peculiarities of the animals represent the different strengths and weaknesses of men. The different species can also be seen as different unclean sects, divisions or denominations.)   Peter was being prepared by a trance vision to accept into the Kingdom those men he considered to be unclean beasts. Act 10:11-16 and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth: 12 wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean. 15 And a voice [came] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common. 16 And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven. (Immediately after this vision Peter was invited to the house of Cornelius and he perceived that God had revealed to him that He had cleansed the lost, unclean Gentiles through the sacrifice of Jesus.)   10:28 and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and [yet] unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean... 34 And Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him. (At this point Peter preached the Gospel to all who were in Cornelius' house and they were saved and filled with the Holy Spirit.)  Many unclean beast people will be fleeing the judgments on the world and apostate Christianity and coming into the shelter of the kingdom through our ministry. These were sanctified of their beastly character by the sacrifice of Jesus and we will have to deal with those peculiarities by faith and the Word. Some of them will ultimately not be saved for they will not continue in the faith and endure to the end to be delivered of their beastly appetites.   Next, I saw as I looked out of a front window, a rhinoceros charging towards the window. At the last minute it veered off and went down the left side of the house. (Where the goats go) I turned and ran to the back of the house and looked out the back window to see lions and a rhino calf peacefully in the back yard together with other animals. I supposed that the rhinoceros was thinking to protect its own but there was no threat; they were all at peace. (We believe the rhino lifting up its horn on high is the factious predators who are never at peace with the righteous.) Notice that the animals are at peace like they must have been in Peter's sheet and Noah's ark. This symbolizes the one flock with one shepherd that Jesus said would come. Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.   In Isaiah 11:1-5 the Branch is Jesus in the man-child ministry as in Jer.23:1-6. Then it also speaks of the animals being at peace and protected and led by the man-child. Isa.11:6-9 And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them (man-child). 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain (Kingdom of God); for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.   The rest of this speaks of gathering God's people to their spiritual Land of Promise and bringing peace between them while conquering the old man in the land. Chapter 12 speaks of them drinking freely of God's salvation. And chapter 13 is the day of the Lord and fall of America. Here the shepherds and their flocks are gone but the "wild beasts," especially "goats" (wicked and apostates) and "wolves" (apostate false leaders) are left to "cry in their castles" (churches). 13:19-22 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. 20 ...neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there. 21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there. 22 And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.)   Looking out the front window in this dream represents seeing into the future, and the left side, where the rhinoceros went, represents where the goats walk. Just as it is now, some self-righteous, competitive, ambitious, sectarian, factious, domineering types will seek to separate those of their own kind and their own thinking from the body when in reality they are in the safest place to be. This also may be speaking of a larger future scenario that involves the new world order religion seeking to separate those who may be proven to belong to them from those at peace with God and each other.   They will not be ashamed to use the weapon at their disposal to gore those who have been given authority. The rhinoceros first aimed at me and then at those who agreed with me. Some like Judas will go to the place ordained for them because of their selfish ambition and because they abuse their freedom in Christ until they are reprobated. Gal 5:10 I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be... 13 For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only [use] not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another (as the wild beasts normally do), take heed that ye be not consumed one of another (as the wild beasts). 16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.... 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, 21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.  The Church Called Brotherly Love  Mark Fritts 12/26/04 (David’s notes in red)  I woke up and this question came to my mind. What church is the church I am visiting today, for the second time, in relation to Revelation two? I don't know why I asked this but the Lord immediately said, "number three," which I discovered to be the Church of Pergamos. (They were rebuked for the Nicolaitan error of being lords over God's flock and the Balaam error of following idols (like a false Jesus) and feeding God's people greasy grace doctrines.) I asked the Lord to show me if I should tell the pastor of this church and He led me to Acts 18: 9 "Be not afraid but speak and hold not thy peace”.  So, I left the pastor a letter explaining what I thought the Lord was saying to this "Word of Faith" church. (Many of these lack the crucified life.) Why do things like this continually happen to me? My wife is tired of me having tough words for churches. She wants us to settle down in a church and find a good youth group for our kids. I asked the Lord to show me what I should say to this church if they don't repent and I believe he said, "Ezekiel fourteen". (In this chapter strong delusion came upon those who set up idols in their heart.)  Then I asked the Lord what church Unleavened Bread Bible Study represented and I heard, "number six". I did not know Philadelphia was the sixth church. (Philadelphia is the only church that was not rebuked but was promised, "I also will keep thee from the hour of trial". Philadelphia means "love of the brethren," Philo = love; adolphos = a brother. It is interesting that "adelphus" means "first from the womb," A = alpha - first; delphus = the womb. The man-child ministry will be the first-born from the womb of the church.)  Rev 3:7-10 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and none shall shut, and that shutteth and none openeth (Authority to bind and loose): 8 I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut) (The wicked try but fail), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.  9 Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan (Because they worship satan but they think he is God), of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; (Not circumcised in heart) behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  Jas 1:3-4 knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4 And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.  The kind of faith seen in this Galatians text causes us to "dwell in heavenly places in Christ". Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.  (Our text in Revelation 3:7-13 shows that the Philadelphia Church will escape the hour of trial that would "try them that dwell upon the earth", rather than dwelling "in Heavenly places in Christ". This Church represents the Bride who, like the Shulammite in Song of Solomon, the Bride in Esther and the Bride in Psalm 45, will escape in the King's house on earth. This is no pre-trib rapture, for the Bride will raise up the virgins, as in these cases.)  I believe the Words to the Churches in the Book of Revelation represent the condition of the seven churches. Some have not died to self at all and need a crucifixion. And some had died a little but still have a long way to go. The tribulation will perfect those who are willing to go to their cross for their crucifixion. Mat 16:24-25 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.  Back to the Philadelphia Church in Rev 3:11-13 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. 12 He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God , and he shall go out thence no more: (Meaning to Abide continually in Jesus, the Word) and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem (The Bride), which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.  Is the Son Coming in You?  David Eells (2Cor.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. If our face is truly unveiled, we accept what happened at the cross and see by faith the finished work of Christ in the mirror. Only in this walk of faith are we "transformed into the same image". We accept by faith that God made an exchange of Christ's life for our life. (Col.1:22) yet now hath he reconciled (Greek: "exchanged") in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel.... Through this exchange we died and Christ now lives in us by faith. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. Only seeing the real Jesus in the mirror by faith will transform us into the "same image". Aspiring to be like "another Jesus", as Paul called it in 2 Corinthians 11:4, will not bring forth Christ but antichrist in us. Having our eyes on self, our ability, our failure, is to see our "natural face in a mirror" and is not walking by faith. This will bring no power to obey but will make us hearers and not doers of the Word. (Jas.1:23) For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror. These are the ones who do not unite faith with the Gospel so that Christ can be manifested in them. (Eph.4:13) [T]ill we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Paul is confident in the power of God to do this declaring "that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God" (3:19).   Those who wish to live the old life believe that it is not possible that Christ could be manifest in this body. (2Cor.4:10) [A]lways bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. (11) For we who live are always delivered unto death (to self) for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Notice he speaks of Jesus coming in this mortal flesh, not glorified bodies. In Paul's day they were falling away from this truth, which led to many dark centuries of apostasy. (Gal.4:19) My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you.   (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. I am learning that it is not I, living the Christian life and doing the works of Christ, but it is I accepting my death and exercising faith so that Christ may live and do His works through me. Jesus gave up a natural body in order to take up a corporate body so that He could continue on a much larger scale His deliverance of this fallen creation.   (1Cor.12:27) Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof. We are not the body of "another Jesus", a weak and worthless Jesus. We are the body of the same Jesus Who walked in that first body, exercising God's power to set the captives free. (Heb.13:8) Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday and today, [yea] and forever. It is sad that most do not agree that Christ's plan is to continue exercising the sovereignty that He had in His first body, in His second. (Amos 3:3) Shall two walk together, except they have agreed? We must agree with Jesus working through His body today to do the Fathers' work, that the body of Jesus today, would walk as Jesus did in His first body 2000 years ago.  Through faith in the Gospel we can expect the life of Jesus to be manifested in our human bodies. The life of Christ is not only His fruit but also His ministry, as we shall see. Those who teach that we cannot expect the life of Christ in this life are deceivers. Those who preach that as long as we are in this body we will always be in bondage to sin are deceivers. (2Jn.7) For many deceivers are gone forth (from the Church) into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. The KJV falsely says "is come in the flesh" because they thought this spoke of His first body. There is no manuscript that says this. Even the Received Text says "coming in flesh". The ancient manuscripts also say this and the numeric pattern proves it to be true. When Jesus physically comes again, He will have a glorified body, not one of flesh, however, He is coming now in the flesh of His body of true believers.   Those who preach that our ultimate hope here is only to be forgiven, and not transformed, are deceivers. Paul explained that he was revealing a mystery with the words "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Col.1:27). He said that the wisdom in this mystery was to "present every man perfect (complete or mature) in Christ" (28). The seed of Christ must become manifested (bear fruit) in us "from glory to glory". (Col.3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. Christ manifested in us has power over sin and the curse around us. (See our book Sovereign God, For Us and Through Us) As we come to realize the purpose of Christ is to live in us, our faith in what He can do in us and through us grows exponentially. (Phm.1:6) [T]hat the fellowship (Greek: "sharing in common") of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ. The seed of Christ that we have received has the potential for the whole plant but it must have the fertile ground of repentance and faith.   Suffering brings about this repentance, which is the suffering on our own spiritual cross of death to self. (Rom.8:16) The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: (17) and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified with [him]. Notice that "we are children of God" and we will be heirs if we suffer the death of self that Christ may be glorified in us. "Child" is the Greek word teknon, which is always distinct from the word for "son", which is huios. Jesus is always called the "huios" of God. Vine's Expository Dictionary describes the difference. "Teknon, a child...gives prominence to the fact of birth, whereas 'huios' stresses the dignity and character of the relationship". A born again spirit makes us a child of God but only a born again soul gives us a pure and mature relationship with Him that a son like Jesus has. Our soul is our character, our mind, will, and emotions. Our spirit is reborn through an initial gift from God of repentance and faith. The soul is born from above by obedience to the Word given to that spirit. (Jas.1:21) Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted (or rooted) word, which is able to save your souls. "Christians" who will not be ruled by the Word are deluded. (22) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.   Paul speaks of salvation as a process that Christians must cooperate in by standing in the faith of the Gospel to "hold fast the word" or else they "believed in vain". (1Cor.15:1) Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, (2) by which also ye are (Greek: "are being") saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain. The ancient manuscripts, the numeric pattern, and the Received Text say, "are being saved" here. Peter teaches us to see the soul as already saved by faith but he also shows us that obedience to the Word is the method of manifesting soul salvation.   (1Pet.1:22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: (23) having been begotten (born) again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God. We are to endure in our faith to see the manifestation of soul salvation. (9) [R]eceiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls. The soul that is born again manifests the nature of Jesus or the nature of son-ship. It is a soul submitted to the spirit that is led by the Spirit of God. (Rom.8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. To manifest Jesus, the huios of God, is to manifest son-ship. The Scriptures do not teach the lying gospel of "just accept Jesus" that fills churches with tares. Jesus is the One Who does not accept anyone who does not repent, meaning change their mind, and believe the Word.   Just as in Jesus' day the creation of God was waiting for a Son to come with the Word of deliverance from the curse of corruption, so it is in our day. (19) For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.... (21) that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. In Jesus' day spiritual children had led His creation into bondage to corrupt religion and sin but God sent His Son to deliver them with the unleavened bread. So it will be in our day. The foundations have been destroyed by many generations of children put in positions of leadership by those who have wanted their ears tickled. In times of apostasy God gives them what they want. (Isa.3:4) And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. (5) And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the old man (mature), and the base against the honorable. ... (12) As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they that lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. God's solution will be to reveal His sons whom He will use to restore a repentant remnant with the truth that sets free. Jesus in His first body offered this deliverance to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" before there was a great falling away, but Jesus in the corporate man-child will offer it to the called of the "whole creation" to restore the elect.   (Rom.8:22) For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. The work of the Spirit is to bring us to adoption: spirit, soul, and ultimately body. Jesus was the Son of God abiding in the Son of Man. He was the Son in Spirit and Soul when He still inhabited a body of the seed of David (Rom.1:3). His ability to fully walk in the kingdom came when He received His redeemed, glorified, body. So shall it be with the man-child manifested sons. They will first manifest son-ship in spirit and then progressively in soul through persecution and suffering as it was with Jesus. (Heb.5:8) though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; (9) and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation.... Through this stage the man-child sons will minister in power to the called of God as it was with our pattern, Jesus. Then back in Romans we see the last step of full adoption through the new body. (Rom.8:23) And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.   Our faith, like our Father's faith, "calleth the things that are not as though they were" (Rom.4:17), so we must claim our son-ship before we see it. (Gal.3:26) For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. The manifestation will come to those who walk by faith beholding the Son in the mirror. However, as long as we walk as a child we are servants in bondage and do not realize our heritage of being lords of our Father's domain. (4:1) But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all; (2) but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed of the Father. Servants do not serve for love as sons do and they do not have authority over a father's domain. All sons are servants of their father but not all servants are sons. Christians who are children are in bondage to the principles of the world. They walk by their physical senses instead of by faith. Sons live according to faith principles of the kingdom. (3) So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments (Greek: "first principles") of the world: (4) but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, (5) that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.   Paul exhorts children, who walk under law to religion, to receive the gift of son-ship by faith in what Jesus did. Those who seek to be justified by the works of the Law (whether man-made or Old Testament) are children of bondage and cut-off from Christ and grace. (Gal.5:4) Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. For this reason Paul said unto them: (4:19) My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ (son-ship) be formed in you. Those who claim their son-ship and the authority and privileges that go with it because of the redemption wrought in Christ are accounted as sons. We are "justified (Greek meaning accounted righteous) by faith in Christ" (2:16). If I believe that "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me" (20), then I am a son by faith even if I am not yet by manifestation. (3:6) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. (7) Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.   Therefore, if we have received the Spirit of Christ and believe that He now lives in us to do His works, we are sons by faith. (4:6) And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (7) So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God. Those who live as joint-heirs with Christ are walking in the faith of son-ship and will manifest His works by God's power. Jesus said, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father (Jn.14:12). God is carefully bringing His servant/children who walk by faith to manifest son-ship, first the man-child and then those disciples who follow in His steps. (Pr.29:21) He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become a son at the last.   While the apostates were waiting for the coming Messiah, He was being manifest in their midst as a man-child born to a woman. According to this type the apostates in our day are waiting for Jesus to come in the sky to save them. The do not understanding that He will come first manifested in the man-child just as He did in Jesus’ day. The Son will come to be manifested only in those children who "abide in Him". This is what the manifestation of son-ship is. Those who do not manifest son-ship will be "ashamed" like the man without the wedding garment, when they physically see Jesus. (1Jn.2:28) And now, [my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested (in us as son-ship), we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming (Greek: Parousia, meaning His physical "presence"). Both the ancient manuscripts and the numeric pattern say, "if He be manifested" here. "If" shows that only the "children" who manifest Jesus or son-ship will not be "ashamed" when He comes. The KJV translated this "when He shall appear" because they thought this was a reference to Jesus' physical coming, which truly is a "when" and not an "if". A major problem with this translation is it has Jesus' coming twice at the same time. "When he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming". However "manifested" here is the Greek word Phaneroo, meaning "to appear or make visible". It comes from the root word Phan meaning "to shine".   The same word used in many other places plainly shows us that the glory of Jesus will "shine" out of our "mortal bodies" to "appear" to the world. (2Cor.4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested (Phaneroo meaning "shining appearance") in our mortal flesh. Obviously this is a spiritual shining of the righteous glory of God out of us but sometimes God allows even lost people to see it. Around 1984 I was witnessing to a man who said, "I saw you some years ago and there was a light shining out of you wherever you went and I wondered what it meant". Recently, I did some conferences that were video taped and went all over the country. On the same day two people contacted me, one from Washington and the other, a prophet from Florida. They both said that as they watched the video they saw a light shining out of me. (6) Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Notice in the same text that if we know the true "face of Jesus Christ" in the mirror by faith His glory will shine in us. (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. (Col.3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested (in us), then shall ye also with him be manifested (shining appearance) in glory.   Back in our 1 John text, we see that when we are children He has not yet made His shining appearance in us. (1Jn.3:2) Beloved, now are we children (teknon) of God, and it is not yet made manifest (shining appearance) what we shall be. (If He makes His shining appearance in us "we shall be like him".) We know that, if he shall be manifested (shining appearance, i.e. in us), we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is (in the mirror). The ancient manuscripts, the numeric pattern, and the Received Text all say "if he be manifested" here. Notice also that those who "see him even as he is" in the mirror by faith "shall be like him". We must believe that "as he is, even so are we in this world" (1Jn.4:17).   The rest of this text confirms this manifestation of Jesus will come in those who have "confident expectation" of it. (1Jn.3:3) And every one that hath this hope (Greek: "a good, confident expectation") [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Can we purify ourselves as "as he is pure"? Those who have a "confident expectation" of this manifestation of Christ in them will receive grace to walk in it. (Titus 2:11) For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, (12) instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; (Only those who are "looking for" the "shining appearance" of Jesus' glory from them will have it.) (13) looking for the blessed hope and appearing (Greek: Epiphaneia meaning "a shining forth") of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Notice that this does not speak of the coming of the Lord but of the coming of His glory. Epiphaneia here speaks of Jesus' coming in us and is distinct from Parousia, which speaks of His personal "presence" or coming. In other words, He will come for those from whom He is "shining forth". He is coming in His saints before He comes for His saints. To this end He sacrificed Himself.) (14) who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.   The man-child is those who are the First-fruits company to manifest the glory of this purity. Those who fight the good fight of faith shall have this epiphany of Jesus, either as the man-child or as the woman He leads into this understanding. (2Tim.4:7) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: (8) henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing (Epiphaneia). Like Paul, those who have loved His "shining forth" in them shall have the "crown of righteousness".   There are many who reject these awesome promises of "Christ in you" satisfied merely to get their toe in the door, but God has no interest in promoting the lukewarm. Those who justify their "just accept Jesus" religion in order to live as they like will not have eternal life, much less be in the First-fruits man-child. They may be servants but are not sons. (Jn.8:34) Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. (35) And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth forever. Those who have imputed son-ship through their faith in the true Gospel are included with these eternal sons. Both sons and servants have been given the First-fruits of their inheritance here on earth but the sons will keep their inheritance and the servants will not. (Eze.46:16) Thus saith the Lord: If the prince (Jesus) give a gift unto any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance. (17) But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons. Notice that when Jesus returns to set at "liberty" His own, He will take the gift He had given to the servants who had not born the fruit of son-ship, and give it to the sons. Jesus confirmed this in several parables. He described Himself giving gifts of His inheritance called "talents" to His servants. (Mt.25:14) For [it is] as [when] a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. (15) And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.... (19) Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them.   He finds that two of these servants have used their talents and brought forth hundred-fold fruit; the servant with the five talents brought forth five more and the servant with the two talents brought forth two more. The servant with the one talent reported that he "hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own". In other words he kept what was given and used it for earthly purposes but bore no fruit. Jesus will accept no excuses from these fruitless servants. (28) Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. You see, the inheritance of the fruitless servants will be taken away and given to the sons. (29) For unto every one that hath (fruit) shall be given (inheritance), and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not (fruit), even that which he hath shall be taken away. (30) And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.    Printer-friendly version
