Why The Coming Judgments/2nd Exodus
It's extremely difficult for me to write this. I know what God has laid on my heart and made me able to understand. It is difficult for me to write it out and connect all the dots in a way that is eady to read/understand. I pray you can track with it and it opens up your understanding of his word there are a lot of keys God has given me that are in this writing. And because he is consistent in everything he does you can apply these keys throughout your own reading in his word. Even though I have put this out here, pray and let the Holy spirit light your understanding.
Part One. The coming Judgements are not for the whole world even thought they are coming upon the whole world. Many prophetic people are prophesying Judgment because of the wicked. The Truth is The wicked will be destroyed. It says it over and over in the bible Proverbs 14:11, Psalm 37:38 (21 verses, The wicked will be destroyed) Judgements come to the earth that the people would learn righteousness. Isaiah 26:9 The coming Judgements are for us. To bring us back into unity. The Lord gave me a teaching a few years ago which I will include in a part 2 about, “The Rich Man and Lazarus”, that I think explains God’s heart towards religion. Humans being created in God’s image always try to establish a hierarchy. With themselves as the head. In theory we say God is the head. But our actions and divisiveness betray our words. Churches want control. The word Church comes from the Greek word Kurkios. ( A way to divide (Key word divide) people into clans, families or groups by occupation, origin, or affiliation.) But before that we were called the Ecclesia, “The called-out ones”. Right now, in the “Church” If you don’t subscribe to those particular religions doctrine you are rejected. Even online people band together into approved groups of supposed like mindednesses. God is not coming back for one person. He is not coming back for a particular religion or a group of people who all think alike. He is coming back for a body that is healthy and functions in wholeness, Holiness. (Complete in him) With Christ as the head and not the latest great Teacher or prophet, or religion. Not saying I am the foot to the hand I have no need of you. A people that lives and move and have their being in him. That Love the Lord their God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength, and love their neighbor as themselves. In doing this you have fulfilled the Law and the Prophets. Which is the fullness of Gods word in us. His word is, “The Two Witnesses” Of Revelation 11. Isaiah 43:10 “You are my witnesses” Declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no God was formed, nor will there be one after me. In John 8;17 he says, “In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid. I am one who testifies to myself; My other witness is God the Father, who sent me.” Jesus is the Word John1:1-14. I have personally been crying out for God to heal his Body and have been heartbroken by the divesiveness and rejection I have experienced by the people who call them selves by his name. that we would be one as he is one with the father. His prayer in John 17. We are so disjointed and sick. We are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. And even those who are hearing from the Lord and sharing the words he has given them… Are guarded and suspicious, judgmental, and exclusive. If anyone has watched the chosen, they do an incredible Job of portraying Jesus in a way that you really fall in Love with him, his kindness, his gentleness, his Love. That’s the example. That is what we are supposed to be like. To Love those different than us. To heal those that are sick. To comfort those who are mourning. to deliver them out of the enemies camp, aka cast out demons. To esteem others as better than ourselves. To grow together and become his body, with him as the head. These are the greater works. Not do a good deed, share a quick word, and retreat back into our safe little comfort zones behind our computer screens, or in our accepted cliques of people who are like us. Jesus was a revolutionary. We are called to follow in his footsteps. The problem with the internet. It is a fulfillment of 2Timothy 4:3 Not enduring sound doctrine but heaping teachers to themselves. And becoming cliquish. All of that to say this… The persecution that is coming is to bring Unity among the brethren.
The Coming Judgments/2nd Exodus
Part Two The Rich Man and Lazarus, Is a prophetic parable of what religion and the cliquishness of Kurkios. The church. Luke 16: 19-31 The rich man is dressed in Purple = Royalty/kingdom. "Fine Linen" (The righteous acts of the saints) He/The Rich Man sets at the gate... He is a gate keeper to the house of God... He is rich because of the word of God. And Lazarus eats the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table. The crumbs = Bread = The Word of God. Implying Lazarus, The poor in spirit is barely getting enough bread to keep this wounded soul alive not being giving the MEAT of Gods word or enough food or truth to satisfy or heal. The dogs that lick his wounds are the sinners or the world. This reminds me of what Jesus said, The Pharisees wearing there flowing robes taking the best seats, being greeted in the market, praying loudly in Jesus name.... Are the pastors for hire today? Zechariah 11. (The Bad Shepherd VS The Good Shepherd Jesus being the good shepherd) Building there ministries and their names. while the body (Lazarus) suffers to draw near the gate and eat the crumbs that fall from the rich man’s table. *(The preachers, false prophets, and teachers AKA The Church Not the Body) * That is what scripture is showing us What we call church Vs What Jesus calls the body. The message is exactly the same as when Jesus was here. Nothing has changed. People try to understand scripture from a perspective that things are different, and the message is different. But it is the same. We still have Pharisees, Sadducees, idolatry... Temples, synagogues, we still mix religion the gospel with our flesh. Our version of worship with Jesus and call it Christianity. Just exactly like the Jews did. Lazarus who was eating the crumbs that fell from the Rich man’s table represent the sheep. This also ties into Lazarus being raised from the dead John 11 (Different Lazarus. Mary and Martha's brother... But Gods Word is consistent and overlapping so when we see something said in one spot we can follow it like a treasure to lead us to see more) Jesus told them to remove his grave clothes. It says his hands and feet were bound. This command is for us. The grave clothes are dead religion. Jesus is resurrecting his body, not just us as individuals... Religion is the grave clothes we have put on to preserve our Brother Lazarus. Notice again the hands and feet? Our works. Our Walk. Bound up. When the rich man says to Abraham. "Send Lazarus back to my 5 brothers to tell them this place is real." (Hell) Luke 16:27-31 "He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ "‘No, Father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’" The five brothers are the Five fold Ministry He and his brothers know Moses and the Prophets. (The Law and the prophets, The Word Of God) They are still not listening. This Rich man aka Man of God is in Hell begging Abraham to warn the 5 brothers! Those who evangelise, teach, prophesy, pastors, prophets, apostles. Or to send Lazarus to tell them Hell is real. *Ephesians 4:11-13 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that "The body" of Christ may be built up (Not the church) until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
As I was meditating on these things, I remembered another rich man. Mark 10:17- 31 Also in Mathew 19:16-30 At first Look, there were two things that I had always noticed about this parable. The first was That it said, "And Jesus Loved Him" Some versions say and He Loved him immediately. The Second thing that always stood out to me was that this is the only person that left the presence of Jesus sad. The Rich man and the Kingdom of God *Mark 10:17-* As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"* Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother. Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."* Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."* At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Luke 16:19-31 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."* Then Peter spoke up, "We have left everything to follow you!"* Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. * But many who are first will be last, and the last first."* Notice this. The Rich man Recognised who Jesus was! Jesus acknowledges this when he says, "Why do you call me good man? You know only God is Good? He then only lists the commandments that are man to man.. he leaves out the ones about Honoring God. The sabbath etc... The Rich man knew Jesus was God. he was bowed down like in prayer humbling himself before God... Honoring Jesus as God. The Rich Man in the story again is the "church" and its leaders. We build churches but Jesus is building a body and it will not be made by hands. It is him who fitly joins us together. If we will allow him? Jesus Told the Rich man to sell it all and give the proceeds to the poor and follow him and then he would have treasure in heaven. Jesus has no "Need" for us. Or "our" programs and "our" ministries. He Loves us. He wants us to Love each other. He spoke to many people. Thousands of people at times. But he discipled 12. He kept 3 with him as close and intimate friends. (Think David mighty men) And that core group following "his example” spread like fire and changed the world. They met house to house. They were disciples, being discipled. That is the key. It was never intended to be huge as in business. It was meant to be a huge fire spreading from one blade of grass to another. In Closing, many will read this and aggree with everything written and will turn around and continue doing the same things. Some prophets are saying to pray that God might show mercy in his judgements. I think if we must pray for the healing of his body and that he would do a quick work. And as we judge others wrongly and are cliquish and gaurded we would repent and judge ourselves and become the body. This is the second Exodus/ The spiritual Exodus. That moves us from being religious to being his body. It will divide the sheep from the goats, and separate the wheat from the chaff. I just thought to add in another key.. God said, Jacob I have loved Esau I hated.
I always thought that was such a tragic statement. I wondered what it really meant. Did God really hate Esau? He sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. But here's what I think God is really saying and it goes with what Paul said, there stomach are their God's. Because they feed their flesh where as Jacob continues to wrestle with God and man and overcome. Praying that we overcome and become one with eachother and Jesus as he is one with the father.
And praying that we will find joy in the tribulations ahead. That his glory would be revealed in you and me.
This is very deep. Thank you for sharing it.
