The Covering Cherubs

....speak to you again tonight, as always. Over in the evening we've been having a pretty nice time with some of the brethren, discussing some of the things that pertains to the spiritual world. You know, I'm always reminded of what Paul said, I would that you were spiritual. And, of course, when we get spiritual then we get closer to God because God is a spirit. If always we could remember the one Scripture that we refer to so often, the woman at the well when Jesus said, Ye know not what ye worship for God is a spirit and they that worship God must be spiritual. You must worship God in spirit and truth. And as we say a lot of times, you know, the thing that is so important is not the cocoon, it is not that which carries the product. It is the product itself. It is that which is the contents within the carrier. And so then, we are looking forward to developing the inner man. Though the outer man perish, yet the inner man is renewed day by day. And in as much as we know that the inner man is renewed day by day this gives us courage to know that though there appears to be within our lives spots and blemishes and things we don't know how to cope with, things that we don't understand, but yet we look beyond the veil and we see the Christ of our heart and then we feel the security that we're looking for by means of confidence in His finished works of Calvary. So then, the works was finished from the foundation of the world in the foreknowledge of God and we are the recipients of it as elect according to foreknowledge and we are therefore saved by foreknowledge. What God foreknew we would do He accredited to us through Christ Jesus as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated, the children not yet being born having done no good or evil that it might stand according to election and to him that calleth and not as to works, or him that runneth, but him that calleth. Therefore, God would get the glory and we would praise God for all of our victories. And this is the victory that overcometh the world even your faith in God. That is to say believing in what God has accomplished during His lifetime through the body of our Lord Jesus Christ and it is accredited to us for to will is present, Paul said, but how to perform that which is good I find not. Therefore, it is necessary that good be performed and that we be good people and godly people. And this, of course, is impossible to a human being, so then God hath wrought it within His ownself. He has brought forth, as to one man bring forth sin unto death, He hath brought forth one man as to righteousness unto life and has thus accredited it to all of us. And now we are recipients of the latter house light as we were as the Jews were in the former light. And now this light that is so great is the light of the world, you know. And this morning we spoke about the covering cherubs, which Paul said he could not speak of particular at that time. And when we think about this then we wander because we want to place these things in our mind and it's very difficult for us to be able to do it unless we're tutored according to the spirit Who reveals all things to us and brings us to the knowledge of the truth in that we have an unction from the Holy One that we should know all things. Therefore, developing the mind of Christ by the transformating of this wonderful power from light to light and glory to glory our mind is changed from an earthly mind of a beastly state of the first man Adam and the fall and of the darkness and of the veil into the great light where the veil is rent and into the mind of Christ that the mind of God might be within the human body and that the body might thus become immortal through immortality and that life is now brought to light through this wonderful revelation and that in this death is swallowed up in victory, even the victory that overcometh the world, your faith. So then when we talk about the covering cherubs then we think, you know, as to where these cherubs are, or where the Ark of the Covenant is. We were having a little discussion over in the evening about this and I made the statement that perhaps this Ark of the Covenant, which is so sought after by the world, a work of the hands of Bezaleel, God having given him the skill to do this, that perhaps is worth more money than all of the wealth of the world and sought after more than any other thing in the world. From the foundation of the world this thing has been so preeminent that every since it came to be (It was made in the days of Moses.) it's been sought after. And it was a pre-planed thing of God in His foreknowledge that revealed itself according to the weigh point of life and as the time markers of life. So this great wonderful thing that they're looking for is so astounding. But it is amazing to realize that is only an allegoric shadow, just a type, as to the lesser light pointing to the wonderful unveiled light of the latter house which is the greater light. Which means that understanding and knowledge was from something that intellectually had been brought to pass and yet it was something that God had given to Moses from the mount. Whereas, He took them up into the mountain and showed them this heavenly things saying, See that you make all things according to the pattern showed thee in the mount. And so it was that they did exactly that. Moses instructed Bezaleel and he did what God had commanded him to do. And that this ark should go before them wherever they went. And anytime it fell into the hands of the enemy they would lose the battle but anytime the ark was in the midst of them they would win the battle. See? That's the way it is with us today. That was only a shadow. Think of how awesome that was and how valuable that is to the people. If the Jews today would discover that they would fight unto the last person and give their blood trying to obtain that ark or to protect that ark. And so then, that will be only a shadow. Think of what it is like today when we see the true tabernacle. Not as the one that Moses pitched in the wilderness but the one that God pitched, even the tabernacle which is in heaven, but as to say your body being the tabernacle. And Peter said, as long as we're in this tabernacle. So then, this tabernacle, as to the tabernacle in the wilderness from the intellectual wandering, so is the tabernacle. But the thing is, this tabernacle that God has pitched is the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, as to the members of His body and bone and flesh of which ye are in particular. And coming over to Calvary and the crossing of the Jordan, which was illustrated through the life of Joshua at that time, and Caleb. That is, at the time of life that they crossed the natural Jordan, coming to the Jordan as to what that showed allegorically, now then we've crossed the Jordan through the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Jordan being the stream of death, the old serpentine river that runs down, it runs it's course and empties into the Dead Sea which is symbolic of the Lake of Fire, or hell. And we see that now as this serpent was lifted up at Calvary and this river done away with, as to the crossing, that we've come over death and we've conquered death. That is to say, the carnal mind that extended all the way from the garden as to the tree of knowledge down to Calvary and now we have conquered death, crossed over death. And though death is the last enemy to be conquered, as to the world, yet we have conquered death and passed from death unto life and shall never come into condemnation and there is now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. And so then, being filled with the spirit and following the spirit then we find ourselves going on with God having crossed the stream of death and having passed from death unto life being a new creature. And we are they that dwell in heaven, even the tabernacle that God pitched, as to the true tabernacle. Not that of man but that which God Himself pitched, the body of the Lord Jesus Christ being members in particular. Former things not remembered, old things have passed away and behold all things have become new and ye are they that dwell in heaven. And He said, rejoice forever more ye that dwell in heaven. Being in this third era and this third dimensional projection of God we're at the finish line now and everything is shaping up for the coming of our works, our finished works, which is the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, the first that was not in the transgression, as to Adam being called the son of God before the fall. So then, coming back as the second man Adam now as through sin unto death all unto righteousness unto life, Jesus Christ all. And we find ourself now righteous before God by the righteous body of the blood atonement that's yonder on the mercy seat and we're covered with this blood, in that the life is in the blood, then we have an abundance of life by the spirit of this blood that entered into the blood cell in Mary's womb. Now it is entered into your blood to create royal blood in you and to completely transformate your mind and to change your body into a celestial body of a quickening spirit from that of a living soul that you might be immortal, for now is brought to light immortality. Never before was it brought to light. That is to say, bringing immortality to light means that in the mind of God we were always gods and immortal. And that we always had this wonderful immortality of Godship but it had never been revealed to the creation that they should enjoy this wonderful thing. Not everybody has this but everybody has the opportunity to do this. You know, God has got a way that He wants us all to be saved. He wants us all to be healthy and well. It's not His will that any should perish but all should come to repentance and have ever lasting life. And though the devastation of life comes upon us and these things and all of these horrible situations but it isn't God's will though evil cannot come to a city less God has sent it but the thing is God allowed it. Satan is the one that does it but because of our unbelief it has come and God has to allow it because of that. Therefore, we have to remember that. So then, we're moving on with this great thing and we look at this wonderful revelation. As we come down to Calvary we see the crossing of the Jordan and we see that of the covering cherubs and then we think, Well, back in the garden we understand that when Adam was put out of the garden that the covering cherubs must have been there at the garden when the Bible said he placed at the garden the angels with the flaming sword turning every way to keep the garden so that man could not get back to the tree of life. Now, is it that He placed the cherub there, or the angel there with the flaming sword, to keep man from getting back to the tree of life? Only in the sense that He said, Now man has become as one of us. Lest he put forth his hand and partake and live forever. Then He goes on to tell us that he is to be driven out of the garden. That is, in the condition man is now in, in that Satan has infiltrated man, he must not get to the tree of life lest Satan should establish his kingdom forever in the body of man and God not be able to do anything about it. And so then, he put man out of the garden and he placed the flaming cherub there that man could not get back. And today the minister is as a flaming sword. He's standing there turning every way to where you cannot get back to that garden unless you pass that flaming sword. For I will make my ministers as a flame of fire and they're standing there to guard the way of life. In these cherubs that we look at, those cherubs symbolize Moses and Elijah, or the body and the spirit. And Moses having to do with the body and Elijah having to do with the spirit. And so then, it symbolized the law and the prophets. And when Jesus appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration, having finished the course of the church, as from the manger into glory to restore us, then before He came down as a man to die for our offenses then He stood there on the Mount of Transfiguration with James, John and Peter. And there as He stood in the midst of the covering Cherubs, even Moses and Elijah, that's when Peter said three tabernacles. But the Voice said, One. My beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. The fullness of God dwelling within Him to let us know that even the law and the prophets was in Jesus and fulfilled within Jesus, the law and the prophets. And it was now a oneness in God, the great mighty one God, for in Jesus Christ dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily. There is no other human body. There is the one body of the great and mighty God. And so then, those that do not understand and did not get across the Jordan are still moving in a trinitarian fashion today of not understanding and trying to make three Gods while we understand that the Lord is our God. And as David of old said, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. So then we realize that this great wonderful God is the one that went between the cherubs and divided asunder, as to rending the veil, and divided asunder as to the law and the prophets. And with this at Calvary, suddenly when this veil was rent in twain Moses, the prophet like unto, stood there before the Jews to reject Jesus (The Moses of their day). And then Elijah, the spirit of Christ that was projected beyond the church ages that was to return to the Jewish people when the seven was taken from the four hundred and ninety years, leaving the four eighty-three at Calvary, bring in a two thousand year space of the church ages. Elijah was projected into the future saying, Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet before the great and the notable day of the Lord that He might turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers and the hearts of the fathers back to the children lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. So dividing asunder, as to those cherubs, one is over in the four hundred and eighty-three year period, which is just before Calvary as Moses. That is to say, Jesus the body. And then over beyond the church ages Elijah, back to the body as to the spirit of Christ to the Jews, bringing in the body again. Until that time the body of the people, as to the creature, is considered dead that God might spare humanity and not destroy them with the atoning blood, the life being in the blood and being on the mercy seat until the Lord returns in Revelation 14, as to the blood and the hundred and forty-four thousand, or the first of the week, as to the sealing of the hundred and forty-four thousand. So, a nation born in one day will bring the change of the church as I said in the early message today. So then, when we look at this we realize that a great thing happened. What happened when Aaron went into the tabernacle and pushed his way between the covering cherubs of the curtains of the fine needle work. He went in beyond the veil. The veil that no one could get beyond. I've spoken to you concerning Noah and the days of Noah and the ark and the covenant, as to the rainbow and how this was commemorated, as to Moses and the little ark and how that later they built an ark and it was called the ark of the rainbow, the Ark of the Covenant in remembrance of God's salvation to humanity when He had destroyed the earth. And they took this with them and the covering cherubs was there because the flying creatures was put in the third dimension, as to the top. So, in the bottom of that ark, if you remember, the creeping creatures went, and the first dimension was thus finished. And then the second where the door was opened that was between heaven and earth as Jesus saying, I am the door and then went in there as grace that the second dimension might be finished and everybody might have a benefit to that. But then the third dimension was a secluded thing that was just for Noah and for the family, as to the fouls of the air, or the heavenly. And there it showed the angelic. And when they went into the top then that did the work right there, as to the finishing of the three dimensions and then came the wrath of God, even as the days of Noah. Being the waters of Noah He said, This is like the waters of Noah to me. And the body of the Lord Jesus Chris being that great ark, of which the ark was a symbol, then the Lord came. And when the Lord came then everything in heaven and earth was gathered into that body. And as I've said before even the creeping things went into that body. The angelic went into it, as to the heavenly, and the souls of mankind went into it as to the second dimension. And then the first dimension, the creeping things, or the abase, went into it in the sense that grace came and the blood took away the sins of the world, the creature during the churches ages to spare humanity until the church could get out from among them. And so they all were protected by that, even the creatures of darkness that are intellectually in darkness. So then, we see also, as to the dove and we see also as to the raven, which was the two spirits, one good and one bad. Satan also was in there to the extent that we see in Revelation that Satan was in heaven. And as to the star wars, we say in our day, or the battle there when the woman was birthing the child. So the great Holy Spirit was there and Satan was also there and when Satan went out at Calvary, Jesus said, I beheld Satan, as lightning, fall from heaven. And when he went out he feeds today upon the corruption of the bodies, in that bodies are liken unto waters in Revelation, and he is feeding upon the dead bodies floating around in this world. They are dead in trespasses and sin while they live and rejected because of Calvary. And soon the devastation will come upon them, as to the judgment when the church age grace is over and the blood comes off of the mercy seat. And then Lucifer, Satan also went out, or stayed out until this thing was finished as to be a finished product of the gullible desire of the corruption and feeding off of the corruption. And then the great Holy Spirit went out. But when the great Holy Spirit went out He did not find anything but corruption and so he returned to the ark. And we've explained this how that he went out at Calvary and the spirit left the body there to pass through the wrath of God and to come to the resting place. And then it went out but it returned after fifty days back into the body of the Lord which was the bodily members of the church. And returned and was to stay right there until the siege was over and the judgment was over, which would be the tribulation period upon the Jews to show the bodily part of the ark and to bring it on into the millennium, the new world that Noah entered into when everything was just right and the great Holy Spirit would remain out there bringing that tree of life and be turned a loose on the new world to the restoration to where there would be no curse, in that the dove cannot digest anything bitter. It had to wait until everything was fruitful and everything was pure. So then, the people of God, who are the dove like people, will be turned a loose in the millennium and they will remain. Until then they have to stay within their little houses. Like it was said down in Egypt, don't go out because the midnight cry is coming and the death angel is passing over. Stay within your little house and just feed off of the Lamb until the midnight cry and then you'll be all right. Have the blood over the door post and these kind of things. So then, we see at Calvary this great wonderful rent veil. And when the veil was rent in twain, as to the temple rent from top to the bottom, we see the spirit taken from the body to show that your spirit has gone to be with God and translated into His spirit while your body has been put in a grave. Your soul has been put into hell to the extent that it passed through hell by the soul of Jesus Christ. Your body entered the grave by the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, the spirit into paradise as the man said, remember me and the Lord said, This day thou shalt be with me in paradise. And so then, there will be a reunion one day, everything coming back together. And at this time there is the three types of people that we refer to as the Jews, the Catholic and the Protestants, that's showing these eras in what God is doing. So that means that with this this covering cherub that we speak of as to one on either side, this covering cherub as to the dividing as from the four eighty-three and the seven, the two thousand years, it brings forth an expose. And that expose is the church age projection of the seven candlesticks, or the seven messengers of God, which has a reference to earthly people to the extent of speakers in the earth, as to the angel of each church that Paul spoke of. And so then, we see this dimensional projection. We see the rainbow as the covenant and the bridge spanning over from the four eighty-three to the seven of the church ages, which is His covenant with the people, as to the light of this glorious thing and showing us this wonderful church age mystery, as to the unveiled. And when we behold these candlesticks that are shining we know that we are beyond the covering cherubs and now we're looking directly at the mercy seat. And having this grace and we know that the blood that's been placed on this mercy seat is the blood of the Lamb, in that we are accounted for as lambs, or sheep, that is for the slaughter, killed all the day long and accounted for as sheep to the slaughter. And yet in this we're more than conquerors through Him that loved us, our blood being royal blood and pure blood, and the life in the blood and yielding up this life now as the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to be accepted as the innocent blood, in that the great Holy Spirit and this blood cell is the same as in the blood cell of the body of the Lord Jesus that made Him the church and made Him innocent. Therefore, the male not being in the transgression we're now with His bone and flesh as to the restoration, as when Eve was taken out, then the darkness. And then, all of a sudden, we're restored back to the light and these projections are seen in the church age messengers as the candlesticks brightly shine. And many, many such things as we could say as to come into the revelational truths of God through the revelation that shows itself at the end of the church ages. The thing that we refer to as the tribulation period to the Jews is really the revelation of Jesus Christ coming to the Jews to bring a tribulation upon the world, for the hundred and forty-four thousand will be sealed during the time of this terrible tribulation and these things as to the opening of the bottomless bit and the locust. And all of these horrible situations shall not even touch the hundred and forty-four thousand for the Bible said, and these things shall not harm them that are sealed in the head with this wonderful seal of God. So, we realize it is upon the world that this awful tribulation is to come, that during that time that the beast will teach his regime and he will account for his people accordingly just as you would brand cattle. And at that time the separation will be made, as to the last of those which are the Jewish people as a nation born in one day. And then the uniting, the re-uniting of the body to the spirit to be show by the Jew, as to your bodily change as the Lord appears as being your works to make your faith perfect to bring in the completeness of this transformation of mind that the glory of God might show forth in you as the sun shining within your strength that you might shine as the brightness of the noonday. Everyone having this hope within him purifies himself even as he is pure. So then, we see the wonderful thing of the covering cherubs, of which Paul could not speak particular of in his day and many things, or such like things, he would like to have expounded but he could not expound those things because it would have brought the end of the world. For Calvary was the end of the world and ye are the people upon whom the ends of the world have come, Peter said, and the old world having passed away with water he saw then the second world had come to an end and it was passing away. And then the third world was moving in, which was the angelic era where people would be heavenly creatures dwelling in heaven. And during this time the transformation of mind would become the expose that by the time this matured in it's compounding way, at the end of the church ages you would be immediately changed and not even as much as sleep but by-pass the coffin and go right on into glory, that death would have completely been conquered and everybody would be free of death to the extent that those that are bound with death would come out of the graves and all of your loved ones would stand there victoriously because you had conquered death through faith and faithfulness and loyalty to God. So then, we see this great wonderful moment, this great wonderful thrilling event that it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God but unto the world it is not given. So then, we hold fast to our faith, not casting away our faith because it has great recompense of reward. Taking the shield of faith that it might be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked for it is our wonderful justification. Therefore, being justified by faith, or grace through faith we're saved, not of our own works lest we should boast but it is the gift of God. Well, the little things that we've said tonight I hope that they'll be stimulating to you. I hope it will cause you to dig deeper into the storehouse of God and help you to come more into the mind of Christ to see even these things and beyond into greater wonderful depths and heights, comprehending the heights, the depth, the width and the length through the church ages of this marvelous Kingdom and the wealth that you have and of the godship, as to sonship, that God has promised unto you through the sacrifice of His Son just simply by believing in the finished works of the Lord Jesus Christ. May Lord bless you and we'll see you the next time.
