THE BODY OF ANTICHRIST

Part XVIII

In the previous installment of the present work, once again we sought to show how the Spirit impacts the physical world. This becomes particularly interesting once we’ve learned that the Spiritual realm is higher than the physical dimension, but we can access that realm from where we are. We dealt with “time” verses, as Revelation’s text which tells us the Devil is angry “because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Revelation 12:12).

God created “time” as part of the physical creation (see Genesis 1), but in the higher dimension of the Spiritual, “time” does not exist. We have concluded that the fallen angelic entities – who are Spiritually configured -- are influencing the physical kingdoms of man, within the parameters of earthly linear time.

The subject of Sequential Recapitulation – where events function as a “Script” – has led us to conclude the repetition of the “Script” in a later timeline can be attributed to characteristics of the various Spiritual players on the earth. As a case on point, the presence of the “Prince of Persia,” after the end of the Persian Union, is the reason for the similitudes seen in the Soviet Union because it’s the same “Prince.”

This is because the fallen angelic entity described in Scripture as the “Prince of Persia” (Daniel 10:20) was present in the Soviet Union in the AD Christian era timeline. The same may be said of the “Prince of Grecia” --  who was present in Alexander the Greats’ BC era Grecian kingdom – as he was also present in the Third Reich of Germany in the AD Christian timeline.

We’ve determined this because the “Scripts” are the same in each instance. Furthermore, we concluded that these “Prophetic Parallels” follow parallels in the same chronological order in adjacent timelines.

The Spirit that guided the BC era Roman Empire was present in the AD post World War II Republic of America. These stunning conclusions are the result of studying the Prophetic Parallels of the four kingdoms of Daniel chapter 2 – the statue dream of Nebuchadnezzar (in the BC timeline) – and the four kingdoms of Daniel chapter 7 – the British “Lion,” the Russian “Bear,” the German “Leopard,” and the American “Diverse” beast. 

As the Christian Medians are aware, subsequent research showed the same eerie connnecton between the BC era Egyptian dominion and the AD era Holy Roman Empire. Just as the Pharoah fought to keep the Israelites in bondage on Egypt, the later Popes of the Roman Empire resisted efforts of Spiritual Israel to break away from the Roman Catholic church.

These were followed by the Assyrian Empire with the later “double” of Catholic Spain in the AD Christian timeline.

The details of how the Spirits interface with the Physical dominion is obviously mysterious, but the LORD has has recently revealed a deeper perspective of this aspect of what we call the Triuniverse.

As human beings, we tend to anthropomorphize the physical when it is influenced by the Spiritual. However, the Scripture says the entire creation is under the curse of sin, and indicates the creature itself shall be delivered – but the Greek word for creature is the same word as creation.

“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:21,22).

In other words, every aspect of the creation – every part of the whole world that was put in dominion under Adam – will move back to the glorious harmony with God that it enjoyed before the fall.

This helps us to perceive some rather exotic concepts concerning how the glory of God – which is now in the believer – can be extended, even to inanimate material on the earth.

An interesting Scripture helps us to detail this view. When Jesus sent out the 70 disciples to announce the Kingdom of God had arrived, He gave his disciples some very interesting commandments. 

“As ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return unto you” (Matthew 10:12,13).

The disciples were astonished that “even the devils are subject unto us through thy name” (Luke 10:17); but the only conceivable way a house could be “not worthy” is if it has somehow absorbed the Spiritual residue of someone that is empowered by what the Scripture has called “the Spirit of bondage” (Romans 8:15).

As believers, mature discerning Christians – particularly those in what is called “deliverance” ministries -- have long warned us to stay away from occult objects, such as Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards, and so forth. The basic paper and cardboard compounds used to manufacture such items are not the problem, it’s the object itself that has had unclean Spiritual power flowing through it.

When Jesus was speaking to the 70 disciples about if the house be worthy “let your peace come upon it” (Matthew 10:13), He also said people that do not receive your proclamation that the kingdom of God has arrived, when you leave their proximity, shake off the dust of your feet.

“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet” (Matthew 10:14). 

Although Mark’s parallel statement adds the words “for a testimony against them” (Mark 6:11), God remembers that episode as He says it will be brought to remembrance in “the day of judgment.”

The implication is that even the molecules of the “dust” that hosted the disbelief will answer to the LORD.

On the opposite side of the Spiritual spectrum, when Moses encountered God in the burning bush, the LORD told him to take off his shoes because he was standing on sacred ground.

“And when he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said...put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground” (Exodus 3:4,5).

The ground wasn’t holy before the LORD was made manifest there in order to call Moses, but the righteousness of God imbued that place with the Spiritual “memory” of the presence of the LORD.

Since man is at the top of the creation, and because God is the ultimate authority, we see an interesting text in the book of Acts. When Peter sat on a rooftop and, being hungry, had a vision of animals that were unclean under the laws of Moses; yet the LORD told him to kill and eat. Peter responded that he had never eaten anything that was common or unclean. In other words, Peter said he was obedient to the dietary laws of Moses in the time of the Old Covenant.

“And the voice came unto him a second time, What God hath cleansed, call thou not common” (Acts 10:15).

Of course, this well known episode presages the fact that God was about to Spiritually baptize a group of Gentiles, which had been considered “unclean” under the Old Covenant, and Peter was to bear witness to this remarkable development.

The point of all these citations is that we should broaden our understanding of how the glory of the LORD impacts the creation.

Another example of this premise is when Jesus came back into Jerusalem, and the disciples were shouting Hosanna, and the Pharisees said he should silence His disciples.

“And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out” (Luke 19:40).

And the stones would have indeed “cried out” in a way that we cannot fathom!

When Christ was traveling and ministering to the people, the woman who had an “issue of blood” followed Jesus (and was healed), it because she touched his garment.

“For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole” (Matthew 9:21).

An unusual word is used in this section of Scripture, as Jesus turned because he knew someone had touched his clothes.

“And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press [of the crowd] and said, Who touched my clothes?” (Mark 5:30).

The power of God did not come out of the “garment,” it came out of the living God, but through the garment that was in the earthly proximity of the righteousness of God, as well as the faith of the woman. Essentially the text says he knew that righteousness had gone out him, so we equate the glory of God – and the “Living Water” that comes with His cleansing righteousness -- with the power of God.

When Jesus had ascended to heaven after His resurrection, and the disciples were given power from the Holy Spirit in the upper room, they began to draw large crowds themselves.

“Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them” (Acts 5:15).

Although Jesus said to the woman who touched his garment that her “faith” had made her whole, it was the object of her faith that was the key to the “virtue” (read the Life) that she received. In every episode where we see the miraculous power of God released upon the earth, the central issue is it is the unique person of God in JESUS CHRIST that is ground zero in what the prophet Isaiah called the “refreshing” given through the grace of God.

“To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Isaiah 28:12, Acts 3:19).

The final example I would offer of this mysterious interaction is the faith of a “Mustard Seed.” Jesus said if you have the faith of a mustard seed – which is the least of all herbs – we could move mountains.

“And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you” (Luke 17:6).
