Communiqué TWIN TIMELINES: TAKE TWO Part XXII
One of the
most fascinating portions of the study of prophecy is the way the earthly
events relate to what the Scriptures teach us about things in the
Spiritual realm. That situation is further complicated by determining if the
wordly events are mirroring a development engineered by the
“principalities and powers” (Colossians 2:15) of the
heavens, or if they are related to something that is foreordained by the Lord
Himself, from the throne of glory.
A good case
in point is the fashion in which developments in the earthly Jerusalem form the
inverse of events in the New Jerusalem, which is described as the
blessed locale of the believers.
“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming
down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride for her husband” (Revelation
21:2).
The
Scriptures indicate that this “city” is not a city in the
conventional sense, but the people that are redeemed by the LORD are actually
the “city” itself, as the New Testament tells us that as the
“body of Christ” (I Corinthians 12:27), we are actually
inhabited by the LORD on a personal level that indicates His presence.
Furthermore,
the inhabitants that thrive in New Jerusalem are there because they have chosen
to be there, they have met the conditions for entrance, and they are filled
with the praise of our king and our God.
The reason I
mention these facts is because there is an opposite of this (the aforementioned
“inversion,” which is found on the earth), because while the
Scriptures tell us we function as the “temple” of God (with His
presence dwelling within the believers), the Word also tells us that Physical
Jerusalem does not enjoy the glory of God’s presence.
To
illustrate this point, the Apostle Paul, in writing to the
Christians at Galatia, made an analogy of this point by referencing the
two sons of Abraham, the father of the nations.
“Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a
freewoman” (Galatians 4:22).
The Apostle
recounted the historical record in Genesis where Abraham was promised that his
wife Sarai – even though she was old and obviously past the age of
child bearing – was promised by the LORD she would yet bear a child.
As the tale
unfolds, because she does not believe the LORD will actually do this, Sarai
gives Abram (their names are changed later to Sarah and Abraham)
her bondmaid Hagar, a fertile young servant girl that Sarai hoped would
have a son that she could raise.
Years after the
slave girl bears a son, Sarah miraculously has a son herself in accord with
God’s promise, and bans Hagar’s son so he will not be a rival for
her child (who is named Isaac), and his father’s affections.
Before the
friction that inevitably occurred between Sarah and Hagar which caused Abraham
to send away the bondmaid and her then 14 year old son Ishmael, the
angel of the LORD told Abraham that God would continue to bless him through Isaac.
“My covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear”
(Genesis 17:21).
Over a
thousand years later, the Apostle Paul noted that the promise
of God that He had determined would go through the lineage of Isaac, was
analogous to the two Jerusalems – the Earthly Jerusalem
which served as the home of Physical Israel, and the Heavenly
Jerusalem which Revelation tells us is the Spiritual City of God,
comprised of the Christian believers.
After
reminding the Galatians that Abraham had two sons – one born of a
bondwoman and one born of the free woman Sarah – he compared the two sons
to the bondage of the law in the Old Covenant, and the freedom inherent in the
grace revealed in the New Covenant of Jesus Christ.
“Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the
one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is [H]agar…for
this…answereth to [earthly] Jerusalem which now is, and is in
bondage with her children” (Galatians 4:24,25).
He then
wrote that the Spiritual Jerusalem “which is above” (Galatians
4:26) is liberated by Christ, and we, like Isaac, are free.
“So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman…[but]
we…as Isaac was, are the children of promise” (Galatians
4:31,28).
This is
remarkable on many levels, the first of which is the fact that although Paul
says the lesson is “allegorical,” it is undeniable that Abraham did
indeed have two sons, and the successive events, recorded in Scripture,
definitively establishes this is a genuine historical account.
In other
words, the very lives of these people is historical and prophetic, as
the fate of Jerusalem Sequentially Recapitulates the cycle, and
on a much larger scale, the account was doubled!
We’ve
previously explored this supernatural connection as the Shadow and the
Substance, with the “Substance” the Spiritual, and the
“Shadow” a type of earthy manifestation, or even a reflection of
the heavenly reality.
We’ve
also quantified what is called the Mystery of Thirds, where the LORD
decrees that “two parts” of the creation – representing the
Flesh and Blood existence of “them that dwell on the earth” (Revelation
6:10, 14:6) who are the “natural man” (I Corinthians 2:14)
that is scheduled to perish, while the LORD preserves the Spiritual
“third part” that dwells in the heavens (Revelation 12:12).
“And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two
parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third
shall be left therein” (Zechariah 13:8).
However,
there is an inverse to this, and as Satan seeks to emulate the
LORD and pose as God, his “shadow” inspires a counterfeit.
In this
regard, when the Devil was working to bring about the birth of the Little
Horn state that is the modern nation of Israel, he was working through
the agency of the ungodly earthly vessel seen in the United Nations.
The plan
that emerged envisioned a partition of Israel’s ancient land with a third
of the land given to the Physical Jewish people, a third of the land
given to the Palestinians (totaling the “two parts”), and the
“third part” that is the city of Jerusalem was to
reserved for the UN itself!
Earlier, I
noted how the relationship between the earthly and the heavenly (also known as
the Shadow and the Substance) can also be driven by the “rulers of the
darkness of this world” (Ephesians 6:12), instead of the
righteousness which is found in Christ.
In this
regard, the LORD has instructed us concerning how we may recognize whether the
earthly vessels are of God, or they are manifestations of Satan’s
infernal spirit.
“For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns
men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they
grapes” (Luke 6:44).
Indeed, in
the lengthy studies of the Triuniverse previously communicated through Christian
Media, we’ve shown how the language of Prophetic Metaphor has
identified the “thorns” and the “briars” (seen here as
a “bramble bush”) are euphemisms for the “two parts”
that are “cut off and die” (Zechariah 13:8).
“And thou, son of man be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of
their word, though briers and thorns be with
thee…but that which beareth thorns and briers
is rejected , and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned” (Ephesians
2:6, Hebrews 6:8).
Obviously,
the “son of man,” who dwells in “New Jerusalem” is the third
part that is preserved, while the two parts of Flesh and Blood are
“cut off and die” (Zechariah 13:8).
In the inverse
of this Heavenly architecture is the New World Order, in which the
Satanically inhabited vessel of the UN created the “Little
Horn” state of Israel, with the “two parts” and the
“third part” of the LORD’s moves counterfeited by the Beast.
Research
shows that the UN – in the “partition” plan approved
by the two thirds majority of the General Assembly of nations
required by the UN charter – envisioned dividing Palestine into three
“parts” – a Jewish sector, an Arab sector, and the city of Jerusalem
which was to be “internationalized” under the stewardship of the
United Nations!
“The United Nations convened in a special session of the General
Assembly. The General Assembly of all nations again deliberated at length, and
agreed by a more than two thirds majority to the partition of Palestine. It
fixed the date when this partition was to take place and when the Jewish and
the Arab states were to be established.
On Nov 29th [1947] the General Assembly of the United
Nations [also]voted to make Jerusalem an international city” (The New
York Post, Immanuel Velikovsky, March 26, June 8 1948 – re-published in
The Formation of Israel, by Christian Media).
This
political decision, which resurrected the long dead Flesh and Blood
nation of Israel, placed the New World Order in the position of
the LORD who created the original Physical Israel, and later translated Israel
into a Spiritual House in order to redeem His beloved.
This
inversion of the Scripturally recorded plan for the promised redemption bears
the fingerprints of the Devil, as the Deadly Wound – which
was inflicted upon Old Covenant Israel by the Lord Himself because of their
infidelity -- was “healed” by the Beast.
“And I saw one of [the Beast’s] heads as it were
wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered
after the beast” (Revelation 13:3).
But how the
other half of the divided house of the Antichrist Beast –
which is the spirit symbolized as the False Prophet in the holy
book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ – convinced the Spiritually
constituted body of Jesus Christ that the Flesh and Blood, Christ blaspheming
Israel of antiquity is still the “chosen” of God, will have to wait
for another installment of Twin Timelines: Take Two. -- James Lloyd
