‘ HOUSE OF DAVID’
PART 3
Our last article , ‘God’s Times and Seasons’ was part one and two of the ‘HOUSE OF DAVID’. This segment is the third part .
The setting up of the tabernacle of David which was to follow just after the close of the 2000 year time of the Gentile in which The Lord took out a people for His name.
We are now in that age of the restoration of the House of David which pertains to the end time maturity of the fruit of the Vine and the bringing in of this mortal to put on im-mortality.
We must come to realize that this ‘mortal putting on IM-mortality’ only pertains to the Christ Body of many members who are made up of the Gentile branch which is ‘grafted’ into the Olive Tree which is Christ.
‘ I am the Vine, you are the branches’ Jesus said. As we have said before, only a
‘branch’ was severed out from the wild olive tree and ‘grafted’ into the ‘Natural’ Olive Tree. Only the Gentile ‘branch’ was called into this most high calling in Christ as to be a ‘joint-heir’ with Him; to bear his image. No one can be a ‘joint-heir with Him in all that He is and all that He has done and all that He will yet do through out eternity except one comes through the grafting in process he cannot be a joint-heir. All of the former ages of martyrs, those who overcome as was planned for that particular age, could not come into their proper state of perfection until this last age, ( the Gentile branch) brought in immortality to flesh. Although they are beloved members of the Christ body, many, many were slaughtered for the cause of Christ, yet it is this last age we are now in which brings the body of Christ into its ‘measure of full stature’ and is united to the ascended Head, Christ Jesus.
Many have not yet come into the knowledge that this Gentile branch which brings the many-membered Christ body to its full-stature, is a unique, and exclusive body of people who are predestined from the foundation of the world to be conformed to the image of the Son of God according to Romans 8; 29, also in reference to Genesis 1;27-28. Not everyone are called into this high calling in Christ. The first members who over come horrific trials and hardship were persecuted in the flesh, many were killed, others were tormented. ( please read Hebrews chapter 11 ) This last phase of His body will overcome death in the flesh, by eating that ‘living Bread which came down from heaven that a man may eat and not die. ( please read St. John 6; 48-58 ) This ‘living Bread’ was not the bread in the wilderness. Those who came through the wilderness ate the ‘ wilderness –bread and died but Jesus came as that living Bread which came down from heaven and unless one eats of this Bread he has no life in him.
There was a time of martyrs during the apostolic age when many were physically martyred, including the apostles. This was, as the apostle Paul said, the finishing up of the sufferings of Christ for His body’s sake.
This same apostle taught that there would be ‘another age’ and another phase of the body of Christ which would ‘put-on’ immortality, and become incorruptible. The apostle Paul taught of an age when ‘flesh’ would walk this earth in the image of God and rule it, just as the writer in Genesis 1;27-28 had already declared. (read scripture) ‘ Let us make man in ‘our’ image and …………Genesis 1; 27-28, and in the image of God made he man, both male and female, and He said unto ‘them’ not ‘Him’
……..be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it!
This is exactly what the apostle Paul was teaching four thousand years later. In Paul’s day the church was so carnal that he put the whole thing back under the carnal law and placed the woman back under the man and commanded her to wear her hair long in submission t o her husband.
During that period the woman was certainly not allowed to preach or take authority over her husband because of the law she was under. The man also was under this law as well, which most do not recognize.
Why was all of this going on………., because they were so carnal the apostle could not teach them ‘spiritual laws’ so he had to bind them back under submission to the carnal laws until they came to be able to ‘bear’ the spiritual laws of life in Christ Jesus. ( you will find some of this in
(1st. Cor. 3; 1-2-3 ) The apostle goes on teaching them; ‘Do you not know that your body is the temple of God, and that if you defile this temple that God will destroy you???? You see they were so carnal that they had never heard or believed that this ‘body’ could possibly be the temple of God! What! Exclaimed the apostle; Do you not know that your ‘body’ is the temple of the Holy Ghost, and you are no longer your own, because you have been bought with a price!
Know you not that your ’bodies’ are members of Christ and that you are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh! This cannot be ‘spiritualized’ and passed off as something unreal because it is more real than the ground you walk on! The Temple of the Almighty God is flesh; Flesh which has been to Calvary, and come forth in His resurrection life to walk this earth in His image to multiply, replenish and subdue it! PraiseGod!
Scriptures say that ‘flesh’ would become the house of God. He said that it was our ‘bodies’ which were ‘members of Christ’ He said that it is our ‘bodies’ which is the temple of the Holy Ghost! Praise God! This ‘corruption’s’ must ‘put-one’ IN-corruptions! The Word in this last age is again ‘putting-on’ flesh as it is baptized into His death and comes out into His life of resurrection power. We are speaking here of the house, the temple of the Almighty God which was forshadowed down through the ages as it was so beautifully portrayed in Solomon’s temple.
This is the only people on earth, or in heaven, or any other world who will bear the image of the Son of God……..He came and died to bring ‘many sons’ into His likeness.
THERE IS A CALL HERE TO ‘SONSHIP’ AND A CALL TO ‘SERVANTHOOD’.
This call into the many membered body of Christ to bear his image, is a call to the ‘spiritual Jew’, the bride of Christ.
For two thousand years the Lord has hovered over His people to conform them into his image, and bring them into full unity to Himself in the marriage supper of the Lamb. This ‘body’ will be a people who have said ‘yes’ to all the sacrifices which God has asked of them down through the years. This is a seperated people who have, down through the years, yielded to his every demand.
However, a number which no man can number will come to this great light of ‘God in the flesh’ and be saved during this restoration of The House of David which the Lord is ‘now’ raising up. ( As soon as it is ‘grafted in’ it is raised up……… thus saith the Lord ! )
This great number will not ‘be’ that light, but they will receive a knowledge of that light and walk in it and be saved as ‘servants’ ……….Only ‘Sons’ make up the ‘branch ‘ which is grafted into His magnificent Body.
A MONUMENTAL MILE-STONE……………..
THE FACT THAT WE HAVE PASSED A MONUMENTAL MILE-STONE IS EVIDENT IN THE WRITTEN WORD. IT IS EVIDENT IN THE WORD PLACED IN OUR ‘INWARD PARTS’ IN OUR MOUTH AND WRITTEN UPON OUR HEART AND IT IS COMING FORTH SPONTANEOUSLY THROUGH OUR LIPS IN POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION TO RECREATE AND RESTORE, TO BUILD FROM THE OLD RUINS , TO RESTORE THE HOUSE OF DAVID ! THIS IS A FRESH WORD, BEING UTTERED THROUGH THE LIPS OF CLAY, WHERE THE ALMIGHTY GOD HAS IMMORTILIZED THE BODY OF CHRIST ON THE EARTH. (( You see as far as God is concerned, ‘His’ work is finished, even to this mortal putting on IM-mortality. It is being ‘finished’ in the body as each member receives it. We receive it as our faith reaches out and allows His work to come forth to conform us. Only those who are predestined and chosen will come into this ultimate revelation. )) What an awesome realization it is to come to realize that we are called into this high calling in Christ where we are made to be ‘bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh’ !
After having passed this ‘mile-stone’ we can no longer walk in the old order, and if we even ‘look back’ we will become a perpetual witness to that age and the deadness thereof, likeunto Lot’s wife.! She was still looking back to the old traditions which belonged to a dead ‘society’ made up of homosexuals, rapists, pedophiles, murders and thieves…., and false teachers deceiving the people, denying the Lord which ‘bought’ them!
She loved it there, had to have ‘one last look’ which sealed her doom forever! ( and as it was, so shall it be….and so it is; thus saith the Lord!
( for reference see Luke 17; 28-32)
Never have we seen a day any more like the ‘days of Lot’ than what we are seeing in this day. Only this age has gone far beyond the degradation of Sodom. Homosexuals in this day are filing into every phase of society. Same sex marriages are being sanctioned by the laws of our land, pedophiles openly seduce our children, as prison doors are opened, allowing the lawless to roam our streets among the innocent and defenseless. The spirit of Sodom runs prevalent throughout the world in this dark hour of floods, uncontrollable fires, decease and wars.
We see a candidate for president endorsing homosexual rights, the right to pray in our schools are denied, the ten commandments taken down and placed out of sight of this Sodomised society, as if it cannot be tolerated.
Surely the most ignorant can see that we are in that day the scriptures speak of as the earth is becoming so full of death and darkness it will soon become a place where man can no longer live. The floods of Noah, full of death covered the mountain tops as every living soul died. As it was, so shall it be. We are seeing ‘flash-backs’ of this in this very hour as rain falls at an unprecedented volume, raising flood levels to heights never seen before.
THE MILE-STONE WE HAVE PASSED IS NO LONGER IN SIGHT AS THIS THIRD DAY OF TRIBULATION MOVES IN TO SHAKE EVERY THING WHICH CAN BE SHAKEN AND ESTABLISH THAT WHICH CANNOT BE SHAKEN. WE ARE NOW CATCHING A VIEW WHICH OUR EYES HAVE NEVER BEFORE SEEN, SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING, AND PEACE AND CONTENTMENT FLOWS IN TO ENHANCE EVERY EARTHLY SCENE AND MAKE US A PART OF A WORLD WHICH STANDS JUST OUTSIDE THE GATES OF OUR NATURAL WORLD, JUST BEYOND THE BARRIERS OF OUR FEARS, AND DOUBTS, OUR CARES AND WORRIES, THERE LIES A LAND MORE REAL AND BEATIFUL THAN MAN CAN DISCRIBE.
IT IS THE RESTORED HOUSE OF DAVID! GO WITH US IN THIS SECOND PART AS WE BRING TO YOU A NEW LIGHT OF THAT CITY SIT ON A HILL…………………………………….
