But This Man
Hebrews 10:12
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. Hebrews 10:12)

But THIS MAN
Is Sovereign Power
  Many years have passed over the history of mankind since the Lord Jesus gave Himself as an offering for sin once and for all. He now sits at the right hand of God after that great sacrifice for sin(S) (plural). That sacrifice was FOREVER. But this man, a man from heaven, from a sphere that we can only read about in the word of God, and the understanding of THIS MAN after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God, can only be given to us through what is contained in the written word of God through the Spirit of God. When we look at this man, the first question that comes to us is, What manner of man is this?
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. (Luke 8:22) But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. (Luke 8:23) And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. (Luke 8:24) And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him. (Luke 8:25)
  We should see that the circuits of the wind are in His power. The mighty waves are at His command, thus far and no further, and in the hinder part of the boat, the Captain of salvation slept on a pillow. This is a marvelous proof of the deity of Christ that even in sleep, His omniscience was in complete control of the situation for even in His sleep all His sovereign power was at work.

But, THIS MAN
The King Over All the Earth Sleeps
in the Storm in the Gospel of the Kingdom
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. (Matthew 8:23) And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. (Matthew 8:24) And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. (Matthew 8:25) And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. (Matthew 8:26) But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! (Matthew 8:27)

But, THIS MAN
The Master of All the Earth Sleeps
in the Storm in the Gospel of the Son of man the Servant
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. (Mark 4:35) And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. (Mark 4:36) And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. (Mark 4:37) And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? (Mark 4:38) And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39) And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? (Mark 4:40) And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? (Mark 4:41)
  As the life of Christ progressed on earth and it is recorded in His written word, we travel farther and farther away from the day of His birth and the immediate conflict with Satan against the holy child, Jesus. The tragedy of the children of Bethlehem and the wickedness of Herod being pushed by the devil to destroy the holy seed of God. This great storm of Galilee is just another continuation of that great conflict between God and Satan. For those of you who think Satan/Lucifer, the old serpent the devil has no power on earth, then let’s turn to the book of Job Chapter 1, verses 7 – 12.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. (Job 1:7) And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? (Job 1:8) Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? (Job 1:9) Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. (Job 1:10) But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. (Job 1:11) And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. (Job 1:12)
  When this meeting took place, it was in the assembly of the children of God, the sons of God, and Satan came into their midst and the Almighty was present, and Satan came forth after going to and for throughout the whole earth showing his evil dominion over the earth. He is the prince of evil. He has the powers of evil. And he deceived mankind in Adam to follow his evil ways and his evil desires. In verse 12 of Job Chapter 1, we see the powers in Satan directing man to do evil. In verse 15 we see this in the Sabeans. And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. (Job 1:15) We also see his atmospheric power to send fire upon the sons of men. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. (Job 1:16)
  Then Satan stirred up man again in the Chaldeans. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. (Job 1:17)
  Then his power over the wind, While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house: (Job 1:18) And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. (Job 1:19)
  This is the same roaring lion that devours and deceives those who fall into his trap of iniquity. As he was in the days of Job, so Peter told us that he is that same roaring lion today. Don’t let his age deceive you, he still goes to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking those whom he may devour, and I add, wounding many also. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1st Peter 5:8) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. (1st Peter 5:9)
  This seems a frightful position to be in, especially as a child of God, for we remember that the devil himself wanted to destroy the holy child Jesus, the Heir of all things, and the Creator of the worlds. How much sober should we be in this wicked and ungodly battlefield that we call Earth. The preceding verses of 1st Peter Chapter 5, this gives us our defense again that wicked one as well as the armor of God found in Ephesians Chapter 6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: (1st Peter 5:6) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1st Peter 5:7)
  Let’s also consider Hebrews 2:14, Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; This verse has a dual application. Those who are of Christ have been set FREE from the power of death, which the 8th Chapter, verse 2 of the book of Romans clarifies that the law, God’s Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made ME and all the children of God FREE from The Law of Sin and Death. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2) Now the second application of Hebrews 2:14 is NOT completed YET. Although the children of God are free in Christ, the world of Adam still lives under the fear of death because they still will not repent of their wickedness. And this carries on until the final days of the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ when Satan himself (who has the power of death) and walks to and fro throughout the whole earth will be gathered up by God in Jesus Christ and cast into the lake of fire to join the Beast, and the false Prophet, Satan’s evil trinity which also includes himself. He never achieves his desires in his heart to be like the most high and reign over the highest Himself. The lake of fire will consume ALL his failures and he will be tormented day and night for eternity.

But THIS MAN
Is the SUPERNATURAL POWER of God
  In the three recordings of the Spirit of God in Matthew, Mark and Luke all that beheld this scene in the day of Christ saw the SUPERNATURAL work in the Man Christ Jesus. The holy child of God as Son, the Creator of all things is able to still the storms of nature, and the storms of life. Only one could have the mastery over His own creation, and it can only be the Creator Himself, the Man from heaven, for He was NOT of this earth. In John’s gospel, Chapter 6, verse 16, we see the Lord Jesus walking as a Spirit THROUGH the storm, UPON the mighty waves to those who were in peril in their little ship of refuge. And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, (John 6:16) What we should see in these three recordings in Matthew, Mark and Luke when He stilled the storm is that He is IN the boat, and His disciples see Him even after His mighty power as, What manner of man is this?
  In the gospel of John, the gospel of the Spirit of God, He is NOT IN the boat, but comes walking through the treacherous storm as Spirit, revealing now another dimension to the Son of God. For when He entered into the boat there was a great calm. The Sea of Galilee became as glass, and one record shows that IMMEDIATELY they were at the shore. And in this case, as the blind man in Chapter 9, when Christ delivered His disciples from their peril, THEY WORSHIPED HIM. He walked upon the waters as the Son of God. He was the Captain at the rear of the boat asleep on the pillow as the Son of man, thus, showing us that in both positions as the Son of man and the Son of God, He had full power over His own creation. We also see in these two occasions of the storm in the Sea of Galilee that Christ reveals to us the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
  In the Son of man, He shows His deity as Man from heaven, as Spirit He shows His relationship to God the Father, for God is Spirit. (John 4) and He reveals Himself as the Son allowing His disciples to WORSHIP HIM. For if He was not complete deity and the God of creation, He would have refused the worship of His disciples, as well as the blind man who worshiped Him in John Chapter 9. Let’s take another picture of the recordings of the Spirit of God, Christ was asleep on a pillow in the hinder part of the boat, He was in the seat of the Captain of the ship, whether asleep or awake He was cognizant of all that was happening. His disciples, however, were fearful and doubting. They were in physical jeopardy fearing for their lives. They were doubting their Master and Creator, for they believed after all that they had seen before that Christ cared not for them. Their Master could feed the five thousand, and yet, although He had cared for them, the disciples doubted His care in the presence of the storm. Call to remembrance the fowls of the air, they sow not, yet your Father in heaven feeds them. We see man’s side and the frailty of man not willing to believe. We know this because the Lord rebuked His disciples with Oh ye of little faith. And then revealed God’s side through THE SUPERNATURAL, calming the storm by the Christ of God, the anointed One with the oil of gladness. It is recorded in the word of God that the earth is His, and the world, and they that dwell therein. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. (Psalm 24:1) For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. (Psalm 24:2)
  This Psalm gives possession to the One who ascends into the hill of the Lord, who has clean hands, and a pure heart, complete possession of the earth and the world, AND they that dwell therein. And that Man that ascends into the hill of the Lord is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Creator of ALL things.
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:Â (Colossians 1:15) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (Colossians 1:16) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (Colossians 1:17) And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:18) For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; (Colossians 1:19) And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. (Colossians 1:20)
  After reading Colossians 1:15 – 20, like the disciples, do not our heart question, What manner of man is this? But THIS MAN . . . is THAT Man, the heavenly Man, who while praying on a mountain could see His disciples struggling against the waves and the wind. A SUPERNATURAL perception that NO man possesses, and a SUPERNATURAL sight over all of His creation. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. (2nd Chronicles 16:9)
  Nothing escapes His eyes or His word. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. (Hebrews 4:13)
  Man sees the natural: the wind and the waves, but man does not see the SUPERNATURAL, he does not see the hand of Jesus hovering over the storm in His SUPERNATURAL power. They only see Him asleep in the hinder part of the boat. When the Lord was facing His hour of judgment when the sin of the whole world would be poured out against Him in John Chapter 12, He told His disciples, Now is the judgment of this world. The world, and they that dwell therein, are representatives of a ship tossed to and fro by sin, but heaven is still God’s throne and earth is His footstool, many would say in His departure to the right hand of God, through this last two thousand plus years that He is asleep; yet He is the beginning of the creation of God in His omniscience knows every breath of man, and a thousand years is but a day in His eternal calendar, and day is a thousand years for He is timeless. (Revelation 3:14) As the disciples endured the storm, they went to the hinder part of the boat, and the Spirit of God inserts the word Master, using this word, the Spirit of God gives us two roles to follow: although they saw Him as Master and Lord, they could not grasp that He was the Creator of all things. Even after He showed them, and revealed Himself as Master over the creation, they as so many today, could only see a man. What manner of man is this? How sad to see such power in the Son of God and only see a mere man. We can prove by the scriptures and by the SUPERNATURAL act of God in creating a new creature in Christ being born again into God’s eternal family as both children and sons. This is a SUPERNATURAL act of God and God alone. And then those who make a profession of faith doubt their very salvation, most likely because their salvation was never real, and they look on Jesus Christ as, What manner of man is this? But they will not look on Jesus Christ as THAT MAN of Hebrews Chapter 10, verse 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. The same power, the same Master of creation that was in the boat and saved His disciples IS the SAME MAN at the right hand of God today. Hebrews 10:12 is not just a record, it is a SUPERNATURAL TRUTH, everything about this verse is in the SUPERNATURAL POWER of THAT MAN at the right hand of God.
  After we see Him as Master and Lord, we must also see Him as the beginning of the creation of God. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; (Revelation 3:14) This verse does not declare that Jesus Christ was the beginning of the creation of God. This verse declares that Jesus Christ (through the power of His word) BEGAN the creation of God. His words and power created heaven. His words and power created earth. His words and power created the SEEN and the UNSEEN.
  John Chapter 1 makes it clear that in the beginning He was WITH God and that He WAS God. Those who want to lessen the glorious manifest image of God in Jesus Christ are trampling underfoot the Son of God. This same power and majesty are SEEN, FELT, and REVEALED in the word of His power. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hebrews 1:3)
  It is quite evident that Christ through the power of His word, the word becomes SUPERNATURAL. I do not use a Bible version (they are of men). I use the SUPERNATURAL word of God that Christ upholds by the word of His power. In our modern day, there are many versions written by men, but only one SUPERNATURAL BIBLE. Man only sees the letters, the words, the verses, the chapters, and the books, but man does not comprehend. Man stands before a mountain of God’s Holy word, but his eyes are not opened. Looking at the broad spectrum, man looks at the Bible with the same attitude and same light as he looks at the Son of God, What manner of WORD is this? Not knowing that the very existence of God’s true word is SUPERNATURAL. A barren landscape cannot grow wheat to feed the peoples of the world. A barren Bible cannot feed the soul, the spirit nor the heart of man. The SUPERNATURAL WORD proves itself through its own content whether it is in verses, chapters, books, or numbers. The Spirit of God uses the same letters that are available to all of mankind. The difference is that the Writer is Divine, and this Writer is the Man with the inkhorn, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Side Note: Inkhorn. The word inkhorn is only mentioned three (3) times in the Bible. Here is another UNSEEN proof hidden in the numbers of the GODHEAD: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Ezekiel 9:2)
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. (Ezekiel 9:2)
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had]Â the writer’s inkhorn by his side; (Ezekiel 9:3)
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. (Ezekiel 9:11) ♦ End of Side Note: Inkhorn
 Within the Bible the SUPERNATURAL WORD of God, the true Interpreter of the word is revealed in the Spirit of truth.
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1ST John 2:27)
This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. (1ST John 5:6)
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;Â (John 14:16) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (John 14:17) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18)
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. (John 16:7) And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: (John 16:8) Of sin, because they believe not on me; (John 16:9) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; (John 16:10) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. (John 16:11) I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. (John 16:12) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (John 16:13) He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (John 16:14)
  These verses disclose the true lesson of the Spirit. He is the Spirit of TRUTH and He has come to lead ALL the children of God to the TRUTH of the SUPERNATURAL WORD of God. Man is not capable of this without the Spirit of God. Man in Adam is like his father the devil. Man deceives himself. We see this every day in all shapes of human forms: politicians deceive nations, and preachers deceive souls, so man deceives himself in all walks of life. There are those who will take one word from scripture and gives it a thousand different meanings just to confuse and deceive the world. These are men and women who stand in the greatest condemnation of God, for not only are they deceiving man, but they are deceiving precious souls that are worth more than all the treasures of the earth, and yet their deception will deceive many and those souls will be lost. For as they fall into the pit so those that follow them will have the same fate. They also will deceive themselves and enter into the broad gate of destruction.
  On the Sea of Galilee, Christ walked on the violent waves, He was not hindered by the treacherous winds, and when the disciples saw Him, they feared for He is Spirit. It’s interesting what man sees. We live in a natural realm, and we have natural eyes, and we see natural things, but when we enter into the SUPERNATURAL WORD of God, we see SUPERNATURAL things. For instance, Peter was in the boat. It was Peter who requested that he should go to Jesus, and Christ bids him to come, and Peter walked on the water. Then Peter was deceived. He listened to the wind, he saw the violent waves, and he heard the voice of the devil in the winds, and instead of overcoming the voice of death and fear through faith Peter began to sink. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. (Hebrews 2:15) Yet Christ in this violent storm delivered Peter from a sure death. Why is Hebrews 2:15 related to that situation? It is related because every child of Adam is in this same storm. The devil is there to devour the souls of men. The winds of sin and the waves of an evil and deceptive heart controls man until death overtakes him. Without Christ to deliver man there is NO HOPE. The Lord Jesus proclaimed in John 14:6, I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
  It is quite evident that salvation is SUPERNATURAL, and it is also quite evident that every person that comes into this world is in a SUPERNATURAL STORM between Lucifer and God Almighty. It’s interesting that as soon as Peter began to sink into the deep, the direction of his eyes changed. He then saw JESUS ONLY, and loudly cried out, Lord save me. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. (Matthew 14:30) The same turmoil that was around Peter is around every soul that comes into the world. Without hesitation, Christ saved one of His own, but He rebuked Peter’s lack of faith.
  Another glorious picture that we have is when Christ entered into the ship, there was a great calm. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. (Matthew 8:26)  And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39) (Matthew 14:32; John 6:20-24) There was no wind, the Sea of Galilee turned as glass, not just the calm for the Spirit of God goes beyond that and records a GREAT calm that only Jesus Christ can give. He is the Lord of creation, the physical creation around us never argues about His Lordship, the physical creation obeys Him, as we see on the Sea of Galilee. It is man (under the influence of his own sin and the temptations of the devil) who deceives himself from understanding that when a person is born again, they are no longer a child of Adam, they are no longer a child of the devil, but NOW as a new creature in Christ, the Savior has changed the heart, the spirit and the soul. He has stilled the waves. He has silenced the mighty winds, and He has delivered His own from death and every one of us under that precious blood are completed in Him. He is Master and Lord. Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I am. (John 13:13) The One that is within you, the Lord of glory is GREATER then he that is in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1st John 4:4)
  In the relationship of the Lord Jesus walking upon the water as a Spirit, He entered INTO the ship and there was a GREAT calm, and they worshiped Him. What manner of man is this? But this man, the heavenly Man, the Holy Man from above, came to redeem us, for God was IN Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. I realize that I am writing about two different occasions together, however, it is NOT the temporal sequence that I see, but the spiritual revelations within these two different occasions on the Sea of Galilee. The boat or ship is a vessel. It was a haven for His disciples while the Master was asleep. This presented an opportunity in the mind of Lucifer to sink the vessel and by doing this destroy the New Testament truth. This was not the first time that Lucifer stirred up evil against the Lord Jesus. Remember that it was because of evil that Joseph took the child into Egypt. Then Herod destroyed ALL MALE children under the two years of age. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. (Matthew 2:16) We see from scripture that Herod KNEW the prophetic writings and with his counsel with the wise men of the East, he KNEW that the Messiah, the King of the Jews had been born; thus, Satan stirred the heart of Herod to annihilate the children. It was Satan’s goal from the beginning to kill the Messiah, the King of Israel, the Son of God. This was not the last time that Satan attempted to remove Christ from the earth. He would come face to face with the Lord Jesus in Matthew Chapter 4 tempting the Lord Jesus to turn His back on His own deity. Satan knew exactly who this One before him was. Satan said, IF thou be the son of God, but he KNEW, more than man knew, that Christ was the Son of God. In the mind of Satan, if he could get the Son of God to stumble and to bow down and to worship him, then Lucifer would be triumphant, and Lucifer would be above God. This would destroy the DEITY that Lucifer had attempted to destroy in heaven above. Even through this temptation on earth the devil again failed because Christ had nothing WITHIN Him to respond to Satan’s temptation for God cannot be tempted, thus, absolutely proving the deity of the Lord Jesus.
—– ♦ ——
But THIS MAN
Was the Visible Word of God to Man
  Then we have the multiple occasions that the Lord Jesus was mocked through man at the behest of Satan. More than once man tried to stone the Lord Jesus at the behest of Satan. The last great battle was the fearful and frightful conflict of Christ with the devil while He was upon the cross of Calvary. According to Hebrews 2:15 Christ destroyed not only the works of the devil but set the stage of his final destruction in the lake of fire. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12) BUT THIS MAN, at the right hand of God, returned to earth in His Spirit, the Spirit of Christ. The Comforter surrounds the entire Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Again, I remind you that God IS SPIRIT. During the early days of Church history, Satan viciously attacked the deity of the Son of God. It was Satan’s will and purpose to convince the world that Christ was of Adam, and NOT of God. If Lucifer/Satan could strip Him of His deity then he can overcome all the Lord’s work because His work on the cross would NOT BE VALID if God Himself had not offered His own soul. (Isaiah 53:10)
  Through the centuries, man has believed the lies of Satan, so much so, that one of the major religions of the world will not take Christ off the cross. They will put Him on the walls of their temples, their mausoleums of death, they will parade Him down the streets still hanging upon the cross. The fanatics of this religion try to emulate Him by being nailed to a cross showing the world (through the lies of Satan) that in their darkened hearts they believe that Jesus Christ, the holy child, the Prince of life, the Lord of glory was just a mere man like Adam.
 We have another phenomenon. God has always preserved not only the Living Word, but the written word, the Bible. God has settled His word in heaven forever. The Bible, as a whole, from the beginning to the end, has one eternal generation of God’s timeline delivered and sent down by the Spirit of God into man’s timeline. This one generation of the word of God has been given to many generations of man. It has progressed as the heavenly word of God since Moses on mount Sinai, a SUPERNATURAL OCCASION where God wrote His first earthly words by His own finger of fire on the two tablets of stone on mount Sinai. Although these two original stones or tablets were broken, the word of God was not broken for God repeated the exact same words that were settled in heaven on two new tablets that would be placed into the Ark of the covenant before the children of God, the nation of Israel, and before the spiritual angels in heaven. Not only do those two representative angels on both sides of the Ark of the covenant look upon the mercy seat, but they also preserve and watch over that which is within. God has not only given His word through the Spirit of Christ but preserves His word from one generation to the next by the very power . . . the word of His power.
  The first utterance in written form to Moses was face to face with God, and he wrote the very words that God spoke. These words were from heaven, and from the Creator of all things. These words were settled in heaven for all eternity. LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. (Psalm 119:89) I give you this to muse on, Acts 2:23, Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. The eternal word is the outpouring of the determinate counsels of God. It is the written proof of the foreknowledge of God, and His deliberate and determined work of redemption in the world and they that dwell therein; therefore, the next attack by Lucifer came against the word of God. Reading the testimony of the word itself under the direction of the Spirit of God, we find that Moses stood face to face with God and wrote the very words that God spoke. Moses did not vary to the right nor to the left. He wrote exactly what God breathed. The same God that breathed those words to Moses has KEPT those words by the word of His power. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hebrews 1:3) According to Hebrews 1:3, the word of His power is surrounded by His deity and by the brightness of His glory, and the express image (Jesus Christ). We also see a hidden revelation that the word of His power is not only living, but gives authority through His very breath to the written word of God. Christ Himself expressed it this way that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4) One generation after another has been privileged to receive this great truth, all the way back to the writings of Moses in the book of Deuteronomy 8:3, And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.This holy word of God is guided by the perfection and power of the Spirit of God. It is NOT directed by man, or great theologians, or by Greek scholars. They lie to promote themselves before man and take the higher seats of authority over the word of God in the history of man. They have no perfection for they walk in the steps of Satan and are guided by his darkness and not the light which is in Jesus Christ. In every generation of man, the word of God is impregnable to the lies of Satan and to the wicked spirit of mankind. God has not only given His word through the Spirit of Christ but preserves His word from one generation to the next by the very power . . . the word of His power. For it is not the word that is the center, it is Christ Himself who is the Center; therefore, the Spirit of God defines the word as the word of His power. Peter, through the Spirit of God, gives us a full account of the interpretation of the word of God. Many misuse the words of Peter to magnify themselves before man. Peter tells us that there is only ONE interpretation of the word of God and this one interpretation belongs to God, and is given of God THROUGH His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth.Â
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (2nd Peter 1:19) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2nd Peter 1:20) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2nd Peter 1:21)
 The word of God is the SURE word of prophecy. It is settled in heaven and has NO private interpretation by man. The truth is only given to those who possess the Day star, Christ, in their heart. ONLY through the Spirit of truth can one see the ONE and ONLY interpretation of God’s word. It is entirely up to God to reveal His truth to whom He will. It is NOT up to man to expound or to give his own private interpretation. ONLY God can speak for Himself, and ONLY God will speak to the heart of man. ‘The words that I speak unto you are Spirit and life.’ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63)
  Why does Satan work so hard to defeat and malign the written word of God? He raises up cults, and religious denominations to swallow his lies; he builds temples and buildings all over the world to continually deceive his children that are of his own seed, and there is no truth in them. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44) The devil, Lucifer, was and is, a murderer and the father of ALL lies FROM THE BEGINNING. A murderer (Cain) was his visible seed in a man, a child of Adam, who took upon himself the cloak of the devil and murdered his own brother. Through the centuries, we see the devil’s seed, many call it ‘the evil seed,’ but nevertheless, they are his children and are of his seed. The word of God exposes them, and they HATE that for they love darkness and HATE the very light of God and His word. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (John 3:19) For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (John 3:20)
  Are you ready to continue? It has always amazed me how many can quote John 3:16, and yet be completely ignorant of John 3:19 and 20. We live in an age of darkness. No matter how much intellectual power man has, he still lives in darkness. The light of the gospel is being given in the last hours of Church history. The Lord Jesus Christ is getting ready to close the heavens to mankind by removing the Spirit of truth from the earth. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. (2nd Thessalonians 2:7)

As Man’s Rule Over the Old Earth Ended so
Man’s Rule over this Earth Shall Also End
BUT THIS MANÂ from heaven that they have refused and trampled under their feet will judge them with a sorer punishment. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)
  All signs and wonders speak of the end. We live in this same world as the men and women of Genesis Chapter 6. The Lord Jesus told us about the end that it would be as the days of Noah. It will be as the days of Sodom, and today, those days are ALL around us. Everywhere we look there are sodomites. They have taken over the world around us. This is a verse FROM GOD, these are not words expressly directed to and for sodomites, but a verse for those who approve and sanction and have pleasure in them: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (Romans 1:32) These reprobates have carried the name of sodomites from the early judgment in Sodom to this very day. There is a lesson for us in this: that this name marks their wickedness and their satanic existence upon this earth. Peter tells us (through the Spirit of God) that the judgment upon Sodom was given to the world for an example to those, which after should live ungodly.
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; (2nd Peter 2:5) And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; (2nd Peter 2:6) And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (2nd Peter 2:7) (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) (2nd Peter 2:8) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. (2nd Peter 2:9)
  Not only was Sodom given to us as an example, but also the days of Noah that we should live under the authority and uprightness of God, and NOT grovel and crawl as beasts of the field. It is not only the sodomites who are under judgment in this very day, but those who approve their sodomy and promote their ways. This is Satan’s wonder land and his hunting ground, and it is sponsored by big companies and co-ops, and governments and political ‘leaders.’ It is being promoted and enforced by financial institutions such as leading banks, and investment institutions, as BlackRock and Vanguard, and scores of others. One of the recent examples is the Anheuser-Busch conglomerate and their Bud Light beer reveling in their wokeness. Right now, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but right now, we are surrounded by the men and women of Genesis Chapter 6, and the cities of Sodom of Gomorrah and the cities of the plains. This is what the Lord Jesus said.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. (Matthew 13:35)
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: (Luke 17:20) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:21) And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. (Luke 17:22) And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. (Luke 17:23) For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. (Luke 17:24) But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. (Luke 17:25) And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. (Luke 17:26) They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:27) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; (Luke 17:28) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:29) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. (Luke 17:30)
~
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:35) But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. (Matthew 24:36) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:37) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (Matthew 24:38) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:39)
  “Deja vu, all over again” maybe a comedy line from Yogi Berra, but with deep regret those things of the past that caused the overthrow of the human race are upon us AGAIN. The wicked repeat themselves, their evil seed is within them destroying all that is good. They rape the world of God’s creation and rape each other; no one today is safe in this sodomite world. Their perverted lies permeate all professions, all religions, all educational systems, all occupations, all political bodies, and all governments upon this earth. Even Potomac-Joe-in-the-Box plays their games of fornication and approves the rainbow people and openly embraces pride day or month. Evil is the root of this tree that we call Washington, D.C., and its fruit reflects its evil root and seed.
  TODAY, right now, the fires of heaven hang over our nation’s Capitol waiting till their cup of evil is full. This nation has forsaken God from the temperamental Atlantic to the tumultuous Pacific, NOW we are a nation under the judgment of God, and there is NO spirit of repentance (true biblical repentance) anywhere in this land. This nation has sowed to the wind, and it will reap the whirlwind. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth in the coming holocaust. You cannot pervert the things of God and get away with it. The sodomite-world forces their wickedness and their fornications upon the children and the people of this nation. They have forsaken the foundation of their own country, and they have become a united force of debauchery. Because this sin is worldwide, the world will once again feel the shaking of this earth. God is going to shake this earth once more. This WILL HAPPEN when God declares that the cup of evil of the Gentiles is full.
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. (Psalm 11:2) If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3)
~
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. (Psalm 82:5)
~
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. (Hebrews 12:26) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. (Hebrews 12:27) Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: (Hebrews 12:28) For our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:29)
~
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;Â (Haggai 2:6)
  Yet, once more . . . is only mentioned twice in all of scripture, and both are documented in Hebrews Chapter 12. This emphasizes the finality of God’s dealing with mankind. He will not only shake the earth, but shake the heavens as well, and according to Peter, both the heavens and the earth will pass away. They will melt with a fervent heat of God’s consuming fire.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. (2nd Peter 3:10) Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, (2nd Peter 3:11) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? (2nd Peter 3:12) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2nd Peter 3:13) Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (2nd Peter 3:14)
  There will come a day when man will cry out to the Lord of glory, and He will say to them, Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity for I NEVER . . . NEVER . . . NEVER knew you. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:23) Again, I will remind you, TODAY, there is no moral cohesive stability remaining, all political candidates and proponents embrace the vote of the ‘LGBTQ+1-alphabet-nonsense-club-of-reprobates.’ They embrace pride in their wickedness with pride day or month; however, not many mentions, especially from the pulpit, that God, the Almighty, the highest Himself condemns the pride of man. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. (1st Timothy 3:6) Do you see what has ruined the counterfeit church? They are full of men and women of pride. They embrace the original pride of Satan. God condemns pride because of its root and subsequent result in the hearts of mankind. Lucifer was condemned for his pride, now the whole world embraces THAT PRIDE, and spews it out before the Judge of the whole earth: the Lord Jesus Christ. This is what God said about pride.
When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. (Proverbs 11:2)
Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. (Proverbs 13:10)
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18)
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (Isaiah 14:12) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (Isaiah 14:13) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14:14) Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isaiah 14:15)
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. (Psalm 10:2)
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. (Psalm 10:4)
 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. (Psalm 59:12)Â
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. (Psalm 73:6)Â
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. (Proverbs 8:13)
 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. (Proverbs 14:3)Â
A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. (Proverbs 29:23)Â
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! (Isaiah 28:1)Â
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:Â (Isaiah 28:3)Â
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 49:16)Â
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. (Jeremiah 50:31) And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. (Jeremiah 50:32)Â
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. (Ezekiel 16:49)
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, (Ezekiel 16:56)
Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 30:6)Â
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. (Daniel 4:37)Â
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:Â (Daniel 5:20)
And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. (Hosea 5:5)Â
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this. (Hosea 7:10)Â
The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? (Obadiah 1:3)Â
This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts. (Zephaniah 2:10)
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:Â (Mark 7:22)
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (1st John 2:16)
  So, the world wants pride day. . . God has nothing good to say about pride, and those who walk in pride God will judge. The reprobates who pride themselves (men with men and women with women) love to take pride in their reprobate ways. I tell you of a truth: GOD HAS GIVEN THEM UP. (Romans 1:18-32) This evil seed of Satan is without hope in this world, and the lake of fire is being kindled seven times hotter for them. As they burn in their lusts one for another, they also will burn tormented by the flames of God in the lake of fire throughout eternity. BUT THIS MAN, from heaven that they have refused and trample under their feet will judge them with a sorer punishment. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)
He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: (Hebrews 10:28) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. (Hebrews 10:30) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31)
  There is no fear of God in them. The very pride that they boast of proves this fact. They have refused the Son of God as the Pharisees willing to live in their sin and enjoy it with pride. They have spit in the face of the Son of God and they have plucked off the hair, they have slapped him in contempt.
As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: (Isaiah 52:14)
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. (Psalm 22:6) All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, (Psalm 22:7)
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. (Matthew 26:66) Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, (Matthew 26:67) Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? (Matthew 26:68)
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29)
  How much sorer punishment will the pride people, the rainbow people, the purple people, and the sparkle people experience; sorer punishment means more severely. We have an example in Belshazzar in Daniel Chapter 5: this arrogant king defiled the things of God. As in our modern age the Son of God has been defiled and put to an open shame. They have STOLEN and perverted His rainbow that encircles His throne. They have STOLEN the color of His majesty, the garment of His royal throne. They (the sparkle people) have taken the light and called it their own, when HE and ONLY (the Lord Jesus Christ) is the Light of the world. As Belshazzar, they have been weighed in the balance and have been found wanting. (Daniel 5:27) However, even the degenerate Belshazzar feared, and his knees weakened when he saw the finger of God write his end upon the wall. The monsters of The Midway Avenue are directing mankind to a circus of illusion full of vanity and pride parading in their clown like manner mocking the Almighty God for there is NO fear of God in them. Whose end will be their own destruction.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2nd Timothy 3:1) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (2nd Timothy 3:2) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (2nd Timothy 3:3) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (2nd Timothy 3:4) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2nd Timothy 3:5)
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;Â (2nd Timothy 4:3) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2nd Timothy 4:4)
 Again, I will remind you that THIS IS TODAY. We LIVE in the world of Sodom full of sickly, sinful, and soulless individuals waiting to be judged for the unrighteousness acts of depravity.

No Remedy
for
Unbelieving Israel and for the Apostate Church
  Just as Genesis Chapter 6 was given to the world as an example; so also, Sodom, (the city) and Gomorrah (the city) and the remaining cities of the plain were all given as examples that were consumed by fire and brimstone.
  Then there is Israel. God created Israel as a nation. He took them out of the womb of His love. He conceived them and gave them life as a nation so that He would have a people on earth to honor and glorify His name. Truly, since God created a perfect surrounding, and through His power, defeated all the enemies of this new nation, truly, they would be obedient to Him. He delivered them from the fiery furnace of Egypt; He was in the cloud by day, and in the fire by night. He gave them the means of forgiveness and the pathway to walk in His righteousness; yet through centuries, they turned their backs on their Creator. They spoiled the righteousness of God with their deceit and sin. They became abominable in the sight of God, so much so, that God’s heart turned within Him. If anyone has ever experienced this heart break of betrayal then you know how painful this betrayal can be for the heart, the soul, and the spirit. Yet God would not give up on His people. Although they turned their backs on God, He continually looked upon them face to face. He sent them messengers, and He sent these messengers in diverse manners and in sundry times. Rising up betimes and sending His prophets because He had compassion on His people, but they mocked the messengers of God. They despised the word of God; they misused and defiled His prophets. They killed His prophets and priests until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people until there was no remedy. And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: (2nd Chronicles 36:15) But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy. (2nd Chronicles 36:16) In the day of the Lord Jesus Christ He gave a parable to the people of Israel, and to the leaders of Israel concerning the vineyard, the nation that God had lent out to them. The Lord tells us of sending servants to bring the wares and the fruit of the vineyard back to the Master. Turn to Matthew Chapter 21, verses 33 – 41.
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:Â (Matthew 21:33) And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. (Matthew 21:34) And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. (Matthew 21:35) Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. (Matthew 21:36) But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. (Matthew 21:37) But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. (Matthew 21:38) And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. (Matthew 21:39) When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? (Matthew 21:40) They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. (Matthew 21:41)
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. (Matthew 21:45) But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. (Matthew 21:46)
  These are the SAME people whom the Lord Jesus proclaimed to that all the blood from righteous Abel and the prophets whom their fathers had killed would come upon them. In this parable, they KNEW that the Lord was directly speaking about them. When they delivered the Lord to Pilate to be crucified, they loudly reinforced their own judgment upon themselves as they shouted to the heavens, Let His blood be on us and on our children. This prophecy is being fulfilled every day throughout the world on the Jewish people. Their blood and the blood of their children have stained the ground of every nation under the sun and will continue until they fall on their faces and receive Him whom they pierced and call out to God in the name of Jesus Christ for their salvation. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn. (Zechariah 12:10)
  Now let us move on to the Church . . . the Church that is full of pride. They have also turned their backs on the Son of God. What about the prophecy against them? Although all seven letters to the churches are in prophetic light, which reveals the wickedness and abominations, the last letter to the churches, the letter to Laodicea ENDS the Church, for there IS NO REMEDY.
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; (Revelation 3:14) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. (Revelation 3:15) So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:16) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (Revelation 3:17) I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (Revelation 3:18) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (Revelation 3:19)
  UNTIL THERE WAS NO REMEDY. As Israel and their leaders usurped the earthly kingdom of God through guile and deceit, so, the Church, the professing church, has tried to STEAL Christ’s heavenly inheritance. They constantly pervert the scriptures in their favor to build THEIR kingdom and not the kingdom of God. As the Jews said in the parable, Come let us kill the heir, so, the Church repeats this to steal the Church and the kingdom of God’s dear Son, and there is no remedy for He has spewed them out of His mouth.
  Revelation Chapter 3 ends with a church that has NO GOD. They boast themselves of gold and silver and wealth. They have filled themselves with the vomit of pride, and YES, they will be judged, for God always begins His judgment at His own house and with His own people. Although this judgment will not be the reality of the True Church of faith because under the delusion formed by Satan there is a false counterfeit church using and hiding behind the name of Jesus Christ. It is this counterfeit church that has claimed to be of God and has defiled the name of Jesus Christ. (The professing church is the counterfeit church, and the possessing church possesses Christ within.)
  The 21st verse of Chapter 3 of the book of the Revelation is a verse of martyrdom, because the overcomer will give their lives for the faith of Jesus Christ. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (Revelation 3:21) Who will be the persecutors of these individuals who refuse to obey the doctrines and lies of the satanic church? As Christ overcame (sin, death and the works of Satan) through the blood of His cross; so, they also will be called to lay down their lives or to live in obscurity, shunned by the very church that claims to be of Christ. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Revelation 3:22)
  In this world of evil today, with the wickedness of Satan and man all around us, Christ IS OUTSIDE of the professing Church. He stands at the door of your heart, and has compassion upon you, as He did with Israel. He knocks and He makes His presence known to all ears, to all eyes, and to all hearts, If anyone hears His voice, and opens the door of their heart, Christ will come in and reveal Himself to that person, and will sup with them, and proclaim the words out of the volume of the book to the heart of that person. There will be communion with Christ, and Christ with them. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20) After the fall of the Church, as the fall of Israel, the religions of the world will go into captivity, and political powers will take control over them, and overshadow them and put them in bondage of tax exemptions . . . He that hath an ear, let him hear. At this point of your denial, it would be a GOOD PLACE to turn to the book of Malachi, and read all the verses of denial against God, and then apply them to the present Church of apostasy.
  After the third Chapter in the book of Revelation, God INSERTS two (2) Chapters as a parenthesis; Chapters 4 and 5. But what takes place in the cloud between Chapters 3 and Chapter 4? It is the TRANSLATION of the True Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. Everyone who has faith in the Son of God and is washed in His blood will transcend and be translated into His presence at the voice and call of the Archangel of God. There is the DOOR (Christ) in Revelation 3:20 and in Revelation 4:1, we have a DOOR opened in heaven. One door closes and the next door opens and between the door that closes in Revelation 3:20 and the door that opens in Revelation 4:1 is the TRANSLATION of the saints from earth to the heavens. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. (Revelation 3:21) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. (Revelation 4:1)

But, THIS MAN
speaks of JUDGMENT to come onto the nations of the world.
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)
  The DOOR in heaven will open for His own, and they will join all the saints of light and dwell with Him throughout all eternity. After Chapters 4 and 5 (the heavenly realm is covered over once again and then in Chapter 6, the number of man) begins the judgment of God upon them who dwell upon the earth.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. (Revelation 6:1)
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (Revelation 6:12)
  The number six is the preeminent number for in 6:12 the 6th seal is opened, and the final judgment of God falls upon the earth and they who dwell thereon. Beginning at verse 12, we have the second witness (or double six) of the number 6 (6 + 6 = 12). Judgment continues after the 6th seal is opened to verse 17, so where are we now in the history of man? We are at the stage on earth, a small intermission in time, and in this small space of time there are many voices in many different languages. The minority of voices declares the truth; however, the ministers of Satan are in the majority. They are in every area of life: in religion, politics, entertainment, and all the professions and trades. Their loud and arrogant voices are full of pride. The world, through the ministers of Satan, has developed a liberal ideology that has taken control over the souls of man. These are the words of the Spirit of God in 2nd Corinthians 10:3 – 5.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (2nd Corinthians 10:3) (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) (2nd Corinthians 10:4) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (2nd Corinthians 10:5)
  The weapons of our warfare are our spiritual conflict against a spiritual world of evil. It is only through the word of God that souls can be delivered from this stronghold of Satan. The word of God that is delivered to man today MUST cast down all the vile imaginations of man. This takes us back to Genesis Chapter 6:5. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. It was their IMAGINATIONS that exalted their hearts ABOVE the knowledge of God. And therefore, the gospel that is preached MUST destroy the vain imaginations of man and give to the world the TRUE KNOWLEDGE of GOD so that every thought in the heart of man MUST be brought into captivity, and their thoughts, to the obedience of Christ. This world TODAY is FULL of false apostles, FULL of false prophets, and FULL of deceitful workers and pastors transforming themselves as the servants of Christ with their flowery words. Those who listen to these men and women FULL of themselves have forgotten that the word of God teaches that even Satan himself (in his deception) transforms himself as an angel of light. Satan’s first deception (over the sons of man) came in an image that man listened to, believed and accepted: the words came from the image of a serpent. Believing the lies of a serpent as truth, man was deceived and fell under The Law of Sin and Death. Therefore, it is no great thing, and it is no marvel that his children, his Pharisees, his scribes, his prophets, his ministers, his preachers and priests are also transformed as ministers of righteousness.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. (2nd Corinthians 11:13) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2nd Corinthians 11:14) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2nd Corinthians 11:15)
  The book of Hebrews warns these deceivers and projects their end. But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. (Hebrews 6:8) These are the ministers of the curse. They can only bring forth thorns and thistles. God will gather up their works and will also gather them up as well, and they all will burn in the lake of fire. O earth, O earth, O earth hear the word of the Lord. O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. (Jeremiah 22:29) One should remember when God commissioned Jeremiah from heaven, and put His words in the mouth of Jeremiah, He commissioned him and ordained him as a PROPHET UNTO THE NATIONS . . . the world and those who dwell therein. Although Jeremiah prophesied to Israel, he also prophesied to the nations. His ministry was to the whole world of unrighteousness and evil men. It is the voice of the Spirit of God that proclaimed, O earth, earth, earth . . . the voice of the Father from heaven. It is the voice of the Son on earth that declared O earth, and now it is the voice of the Spirit TO the earth O earth . . . hear the word of the LORD. The Father has witnessed to you, the Son of God has witnessed to you, the Spirit of God has witnessed to you O earth . . . this is your final call. And for those who say, ‘Oh that was just for Israel.’ Read Micah 1:2. Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. In the book of Hebrews, we are told that Christ has spoken upon the earth, but now in these last days, He is speaking from heaven. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. (Hebrews 12:25) Now just where is the Lord speaking from in heaven? It is from His holy Temple, the holy Temple of God in heaven. Although He ministers through His own Spirit, the voice of the Spirit is from His holy Temple in heaven to the people of the earth. And this voice is not exempting anyone. ALL the nations, ALL the peoples of the world are NOW THIS DAY under the condemnation and judgment of the Spirit of the Son of God, and they have been under this judgment since the Christ spoke the words of Chapter 12, verse 31, in the gospel of John, when the Son of God declared NOW is the judgment of this world. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. (Revelation 11:19)
 This is the voice of God that the world is about to hear from His holy Temple. These will not be words of grace, but the words of judgment. This will not exempt anyone. Judgment will be upon ALL nations of the world. However, from the days of Christ, this world has already been under judgment. When the Lord of glory was crucified, the world set to their seal (both Jew and Gentile) that they had rejected God’s Christ and God’s grace. Grace does not excuse sin. It is God’s grace IN Jesus Christ who paid the price of sin to purchase a people for Himself. Not an earthly people like Israel, but a heavenly people (unlike any people of the earth) for we, the children of God, the children of His grace and mercy are part of His Body. We have become ONE with God. We are bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. We are His Bride, His betrothed for all eternity which glorifies our Savior as THIS MAN. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12) For the ‘numbers people’ O earth is repeated seven (7) times in scripture and all in the Old Testament.
1Â Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. (Deuteronomy 32:1)
2Â O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. (Job 16:18)
3 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. (Isaiah 1:2)
4 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. (Isaiah 49:13)
5Â Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, [even] the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. (Jeremiah 6:19)
6 Â O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. (Jeremiah 22:29)
7Â Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. (Micah 1:2)

But, THIS MAN
and the Judgment and the Seals of the Apocalypse
  It is interesting what we find in Revelation Chapter 6. This section of scripture from verse 2 to 8 gives us an overview of Satan’s control in the last days of man’s history. This is not only four (4) men of the apocalypse, but four horses of the apocalypse. The horses are presented first because they are the power of the man who sits upon them. All the power of the armies of the Old Testament came from their horses, and their chariots. When Judah lost all their horses, they were weak in the eyes of the nations of the world, so in the 6th Chapter of Revelation we see a combination of both beast and man. Man always feels that he is independent of God that he is sufficient within himself, and that he has no dependance outside of the realm of mankind.
  Revelation Chapter 6 is the number of man under the strength of the beasts and that Beast is Satan turning man as the waves turn the seas bringing wars and rumors of wars controlling whole nations and putting their peoples into the slavery of their own greed and violence. He who holds the purse strings of a nation controls that nation. The same can be considered for the whole world. Satan represented by these four horses and four horsemen controls a hidden army of wealth that dictates and controls the financial systems of this world. Did you know that BlackRock controls 11 trillion dollars of the earthly capital of this world? Did you know that Vanguard controls 7.5 trillion of this world’s monetary system? Did you know that State Street controls 3.5 trillion of the world’s capital? Then there are other massive corporations and companies such as J. B. Morgan and other investment firms as a hidden army of Satan to control the world. They control ALL of the financial institutions. The bank on the corner of your local street is controlled by this army. This army controls 80% of ALL S.& P. 500 companies. They rule the major governments of the world. They are embedded in the US Treasury and in the Federal Reserve (which is neither Federal nor is it a reserve). Their tentacles also decide peace or war. They own the majority of the rulers of the nations of this world and the political makeup of those nations.
  In the book of Daniel, we are informed that it is the God of heaven who sets up kingdoms and takes them down. In these last days, we are seeing Satan’s attempt through counterfeits to set up kingdoms and to take them down, to rule over all the earth and prepare the world for his own world domination under the Beast from the bottomless pit. As these men today, in every way, can be related to the four men of the apocalypse it is said of one organization that they boast of war, and that ‘war is good for them, it makes them rich.’ I only ask the question, How much of the billions and billions of dollars that have gone into Ukraine have found their way back into these financial institutions that are NOT regulated as the national banks are regulated. They have a free hand to take their investor’s money and use it to spread their evil and wickedness among the entire globe. They rule governments, and the leaders of governments are just pretenders placed there by these financial giants. They control the stock market, and the current melt down is a deliberate act of these giant institutions to rob the poor and to STEAL the money from their own investors. Money never disappears. It is just moved to a different location. These companies have owned past Presidents and the present-pretender-on-the-Potomac as well. They delight in buying politicians and therefore, the politicians return their favors. They openly recruit politicians, and all the actions of these institutions are covered by a cloak of darkness hiding them from law and justice. Their tentacles reach into the entire United States government, and I would not be surprised if they controlled the entire national budget. The financial sword that they wield causes fear in the hearts of national leaders. They force corporations to swallow their corrupt ideology that has been developed by Satan over the last eighty years. They are now key figures in the ‘New World Order,’ this is continually spoken of by the left and liberal world and pronounced by the great pretender. These financial institutions control most of the western banks. I will mention just a few: the Bank of Canada, the Bank of Sweden, the Bank of Israel, the central banking system of the United States, the British banking system is under their thumb, as well as France and Germany. They also control large corporations by their independent WOKEness. They have derived a credit score for large corporations based in the WOKEness of those corporations. Just as they have done with the Academy Awards, now any movie that is produced MUST meet the Academy’s WOKEness or they will not be considered for any awards. This is the new communist doctrine. It is called Stockholder Capitalism. By this doctrine they take the money from the people, the collective finances of the world then use those funds to create their own social environment and to further their ideology. This is just another version of Satan using man’s greed to control the entire globe under his corrupt and evil mind. It is easy for him to direct his seed, his children as he directed them in the days of Christ to crucify the Prince of life. (John 8:44)
  The 6th Chapter of Revelation begins with man for it is man who goes forth conquering the earth. The Holy Spirit of God paints a complete picture of world domination in these four men of the apocalypse. Each man is linked to the next man in the progression of the same ideology of Satan and ends with the completion with death and hell. To establish Satan’s kingdom on earth with his Beast, Satan will give his Beast his power and his throne over the earth. When the first seal is opened, we enter into a revelation which is given by six different seals. Each seal is opened by the Lamb of God. Each seal is a divine revelation separate unto itself and yet collective in the whole.
  The first seal is a white horse, and a man sitting on that horse. He has a bow which is an article of war. He has a crown of a ruler of a nation or nations. He goes forth conquering and to conquer. Under his crown there are wars and rumors of war. He not only instigates wars but creates the environment to promote wars allowing him to conquer. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. (Revelation 6:1) And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Revelation 6:2)
  In the second seal, there went out another horse, and now we have the color red. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. (Revelation 6:3) And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. (Revelation 6:4) We see that power was given to him. Where did this power come from? These are the works of Satan giving power to men of renown to overtake the world by force that they should not only kill for their nation but kill each other within their nation. So great is this power that the horse is red, symbolizing the blood of nations that is shed by the great sword that is given to him.
  When the third seal is opened, we hear the voice of the third beast, which is symbolized in Revelation 4:7 as the face of a man. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. (Revelation 6:5) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (Revelation 6:6) Here we have the black horse, and the rider. This rider does not have a great sword in his hand but holds balances in his hand. What were the early balances used for? To check and weigh the finances and monetary worth. Here we have that underground army of financiers controlling the wealth of the world through and by their distribution of food, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny. . . control the food but hurt NOT the oil and the wine. For it is by them that we have gained our wealth.
  Then the Holy Spirit in the fourth seal brings everything to a conclusion. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. (Revelation 6:7) And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:8) The fourth beast in Revelation 4:7 is as a flying eagle. This fourth beast announces the fourth seal, remember that it is the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who opens each seal.
 We are now introduced to a pale horse. This is the first time that the rider has a name, and his name is Death. Now from the beginning of seal #1 it has been man directed by Satan in the kingdom of man’s sin. And the last rider of man’s history is Death. The wages of man’s sin is death, and now, and hell followed with him. The rider (Death) received power from the prince of death who is the devil, and he received that power over the fourth part of the earth to kill with the sword, and with hunger and through death: plagues, disease and by the beasts of the earth. This is what leads up to Satan putting his man of sin (the Beast) upon the throne.
  Then God gives us a wonderful view of the UNSEEN. In the fifth seal opened by the Lamb (number five is the number of God’s grace) John sees those under the altar, the souls of the saints who were slain for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus which they held. And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: (Revelation 6:9) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Revelation 6:10) And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. (Revelation 6:11) Because of this great cloud of demonic evil hanging over the world, they loudly cry to God, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? How long, O Lord, holy and true. It is almost a question, ‘How long before you will judge this wicked world of our blood to them who dwell on the earth?’ And at this point, God gives them white robes that they should rest for a little while until their fellow servants should be killed. Now we leave the saints under grace and return to the world under sin and the dominion of man.
  The sixth seal is opened and there is man standing before the Judge of all the earth, for NOW judgment has come, and there was a great earthquake and once more God shakes the world and the moon became as blood. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (Revelation 6:12) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (Revelation 6:13) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (Revelation 6:14) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; (Revelation 6:15) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (Revelation 6:16) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Revelation 6:17) (The sun became black which takes us back to the suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land to the ninth hour, Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44.)
  God brought darkness over the whole world because man loves darkness and hates the light. The moon became as blood, a testimony from above, a testimony of all the righteous blood from Abel to this present time in Revelation 6:12. The stars of heaven fall to the earth as a fig tree casts off its untimely figs, the heavens will be shakened as well. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. (Revelation 6:14) This is all done to bring the fear of God into the reprobate world. And yet, the sin of man is so entrenched in his very being that they will still NOT repent and believe in God.
  What Revelation Chapter six gives us is the number of man in control of all the systems of the world in his final attempt to achieve his one desire . . . Satan’s One World Order. This NEW order will be under the mark of slavery of the worst kind. He will take your sons and your daughters and kill them with drugs on city streets. He will take your sons and your daughters and kill them on the battlefield. Yes, the devil will take your sons and daughters and finish his social training that he has been perfecting for the last eighty years. He has stepped up his plans, he works now through intellectual perversion manipulated and controlled throughout all levels of society. The poor and wretched souls of this world are NOW living in the putrid streets without homes, without shelter, and overtaken with drugs while those at the top laugh and drink their cups FULL of abomination. Whether at the top of social acceptance or at the bottom, none will fully realize that the master-wolf is destroying their lives, robbing them of their souls and identity. The brainwashed victims of the re-educational system and the corrupt political system dominated by the demonic banking system have been driven out of society to wallow in the filth of the streets. In the kingdom of the Beast, which is SOON coming, the Beast and the devil will rip your children right out of your bosom. Your children will hate you. We already see these signs of children against parents, and parents against children. When your child screams in your face that they hate you, they will speak the words of the devil within them. In Revelation Chapter 6, because grace has been removed from the earth there will not only be slaughter of the battlefield, but on every street in every town and city, blood will flow as the rage and insanity of Lucifer/Satan becomes the rage and insanity of mankind.
  Let’s return to the fourth seal. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. (Revelation 6:7) And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:8) In the previous three horses they each had a distinctive color: white, red and black, but this horse of the fourth seal is colorless, it is pale and has no distinction of any color. Also, as we mentioned before this is the only rider that has a name and this name is Death, and hell follows with him. It’s interesting to see this combination because they are united and both Death and Hell receive the powers of Satan. Concerning the pale horse: what happens to man when he loses his power and death comes upon him: he becomes pale. The horse in verse 8 has no power, the power is specifically given to Death and Hell to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
  Here we have wars, starvation, plagues, and the conflict between man and nature. Then the Holy Spirit adds, the beasts of the earth. Man has been mercilessly killing beasts for millenniums. Man at one time needed beasts for food, then man began to kill for sport, it will now be the turn for beasts to kill man. Mentally deranged rulers believe that they have the power to control the earth (the weather, the sun, and movement of the sea) and to have power over nature, when at the end the beasts of the earth will show man that mankind has NO control over anything.
  I believe that it was in Bangladesh that the government removed all commercial fertilizers; they would rather have their people starve to death then have food. During the Covid Plandemic disaster engineered by man to kill man there were international food shortages. There was NEVER a lack of food, these shortages were specifically designed by the financial barons and movers of minds. All systems have been liberalized so that destroyers can walk among the people. A justice system without justice allows destroyers to walk among the people.
  The One World Order that Lucifer desires will be controlled by the Beast of a man, he will have total power over the earth. He will be the master of slavery, and the master of sin. Have you ever considered why governments don’t stop open sin. They allow drugs on the streets. They can stop it at any time. All systems have been liberalized so that destroyers can walk among the people. A justice system without justice allows destroyers to walk among the people. Liberalization is not open mindedness, but it is a system controlled by closed vacant minds. They try the victim and not the perpetrator, and the rich have one rule of law while the poor or those who are out of favor have a separate system of justice to punish them and to keep them in bondage to the satanic government. We have reached the point where we have to have permission to buy and sell our properties, and our wares. We must be licensed in EVERY way to restrict our freedom and to take away our liberties. We cannot travel without permission. The Passport is the document of the government, and the declaration of this document is that we can only travel by permission. Lucifer is the master of slavery. It was Lucifer who first presented the shackles of sin to Adam. Lucifer will be ecstatic when he puts everyone on earth in the shackles of his sin under the mark of the Beast. Except those who have the mark of Jesus in their hearts and in their minds who will not take the mark of the name of the Beast.

But THIS MAN
brought the FULLNESS of the GODHEAD to man.
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)
  THIS MAN, the Lord Jesus Christ, brought the fullness of the Godhead to dwell among man. He came in the fullness of time, not man’s time, but God’s time. On this center stage with the cross before Him, He presented God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost TO man as the FULLNESS of the Godhead bodily. He combined His witness and the Father’s witness and the Spirit’s witness to man that He WAS and IS the Savior of the world. Both the earth and heaven testified of His birth. The earth testified by the wise men who came out of the East, following the Daystar of His birth. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. (2nd Peter 1:19) The heavens testified as a witness of His birth in the witness of the star from heaven and the great hosts of angels testified of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hear, O heaven, hear O earth, the Son of righteousness has come with healing in His wings. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. (Malachi 4:2) The people of Israel brought the multitudes: the sick, the lame, the blind, and the lepers. I am convinced that all the perils of sickness and disease were seen by Him and He healed them all. His healing wings spread over both Jew and Gentile as proved by the holy scriptures. And most of all, the one that man could not escape from was and is Death itself when the Lord Jesus raised the dead.
  When He raised the dead, He showed His power over death. He also showed His power over sin, for death was the penalty or judgment for sin. Both sin and death had no power over Him. He had power over them both. He took sin out of the way upon the cross of Calvary. He defeated death by His own resurrection. He spent three days in the tomb. The body of man (Adam) would already have been in a state of decay, but God would not suffer His holy child Jesus, the Son of God, to see corruption. Therefore, death was totally destroyed in that third day of resurrection for Christ did not see the corruption of death. And to this, He has told His own that they also will not see the corruption of death, but they will be raised, and they will put on incorruption.
 It is THIS MAN of Hebrews 10:12 who has sat down at the right hand of God. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Hebrews 10:12) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3) These three verses give us the fullness of His work on the cross for us and also the fullness of the resurrected life that we NOW live risen with Christ. We die on the cross with Him (Galatians 2:20), and that life that we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us. We live with Him above NOW. (Colossians 3:1) If ye then be risen with Christ. . . we are not part of the present evil world. Although the whole world lies in wickedness, Christ has separated us (for we are risen WITH Him) and we are sat down with Him in heaven above. But, THIS MAN, who is heavenly has presented to us the very truth and reality of Colossians Chapter 3:1- 4. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (Colossians 3:2) For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3) When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4)
 What does the word affection mean to you? Could it be that the center of the heart is the place of ALL affection? And from that spot the Holy Spirit instructs us to set all those affections ON the ONE above to ALL the things that are in His realm in heaven. We begin by seeking Jesus, as the Greeks in the words said, Sir, we would see Jesus. (John 12:21) And those who diligently seek Him through faith He rewards with His grace. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) The great reward for us NOW is setting our affections ON the Lamb of God, setting our affections on the Son of God and ultimately on the fullness of the Godhead bodily. But, THIS MAN who has sat down on the right hand of God, is the Lord Jesus the only begotten Son of the Father, the Son of His love; this makes Him the Center of God’s desire and God’s affection.
  In Colossians we are to have that same desire and that same affection for the Lord Jesus Christ for IN Him all fullness dwells. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; (Colossians 1:19) And He, THIS MAN, is before all things. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. (Colossians 1:17) He is also the Author and containment of all things both SEEN and UNSEEN. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3) The word faith relates to the abundant force or omnipotence of the Son of God as a GIFT to ignite the heart to the love of God which is IN Christ Jesus.

THIS MANÂ sat down on the right hand of God.
But, the Adversaries of THIS MAN Sit on the Throne of Satan
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)
  In Revelation Chapter 6, the True Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has already departed from this world in its translation, and it is safely home in the bosom of the Lord. There is another hidden view in Revelation Chapter 6 in the four men and their progression of the evil in the one man of sin. If you take all four characters, they are completed in the Beast of Revelation 13. This Beast is brought to his kingdom by the power of Satan. God informs us that he not only receives power from that old serpent, but the Beast sits upon the throne of the serpent. The Beast is full of all lying powers over the nations and peoples of the world. The mark of his name is the symbol of global worship of the Beast. The whole world bows to his image as when the peoples bowed to the image of Nebuchadnezzar on the plain of Dura in the land of Shinar.
  There will be a remnant, however, of those who have faith and the testimony of Jesus who refuses the mark of the Beast. Why is this so important in our day? We have recently experienced a man-made plague that was deliberately used by a satanic group to KILL many in every nation of this world. It was deliberate and satanic and was done by a cloaked underground government that has tentacles throughout the whole globe. They work through all fields, and all manners of life, they are the hidden principalities and powers of this evil world. However, many adversaries of God no longer hide because they have become emboldened through their many illegal victories. They are made up of satanic organizations and governments and the wealthy of the world, and their set unified goal is to bring about Satan’s One World Order. They wish to control all the people of this planet. They wish to control the environment of the world. They wish to control the wealth and riches of the world. They wish (as Satan) to control the congregation in the sides of the north. And through their programs and ideology they want to control the mind, the heart, the soul, and the spirit of every man, woman and child on this earth. They want to control the population, they’re in the removal mode as I write. Recently, the person who was illegitimately assigned the position of Vice President of the United States stated in a public setting, “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.” So, the agenda for climate control is population control. (Her handlers may try to walk back this statement, but she ‘unwittingly’ revealed their agenda. Using the word ‘unwittingly’ suits this pretend-vice-president-of-vice.)
  They created and used the Covid-19 virus as a weapon against humanity. It was NO accident. It was all well planned for years by these underground principalities and powers. Don’t let the words Democracy and Freedom overthrow you in this present age. These are the by-words of Satan to deceive you. For there is NO FREEDOM of DEMOCRACIES on planet Earth. All the desires of man to be free have been overthrown by these principalities and hidden powers.
  Revelation 6 is the progression of the kingdom of the man of sin, the Beast from the bottomless pit. It would be interesting to know when the current inoculations were patterned by the United States government. If you knew the dates, it would probably amaze you that the last Plandemic was in the planning stages for years. It is quite evident from the beginning of these shots to our present time many have died without any valid reason except for the fact that they received the shot. The shot is the common thread through all these mysterious deaths, and it is throughout all age groups linking them with a one world occasion, the beginning of the shot of death. During the last few years, Satan has shown his power to not only kill but to imprison man in their own homes by the authority of governments, and to restrict travel and places that he is allowed to go, even in the restriction of the availability of food. In our present day we are witnessing the preliminary of the four horses and the four men of the apocalypse. It is evident in this world of sin and the evil wickedness of man that we live in the generation of man under the will of Satan. Lucifer/Satan’s will is in the fulfillment of that one man, the Beast, for Satan will give the Beast his power and his seat, or throne. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. (Revelation 13:2)
  As Satan destroyed the nation of Israel, he has also destroyed the testimony of the Church. Under the realm of king Ahaz, he designed an altar after an altar that he had seen in Damascus and placed it in the courtyard of the Temple of God. And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that [was] at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof. (2nd Kings16:10) Ahaz removed God’s brazen altar and replaced it with a heathen altar; therefore, establishing Satan’s seat in the courtyard of the Temple that Solomon had dedicated to the Lord God Almighty.
  In Revelation 2:13, to the church at Pergamos we read these words, I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. The church of Pergamos is introduced by the Lord Himself. And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; (Revelation 2:12) This was judgment over the church that had started her descent back in the book of Acts, and now, in Pergamos, she has made a place for Satan’s seat and giving Lucifer/Satan a place to dwell within the church. Consequently, he has brought in every fowl beast and every abomination to destroy the church of the Living God.
  Through the progression from Revelation 2:13 to Revelation 13:2 we have a great view of the repetition of Satan not only in the outcome in Revelation 13:2 but in the church in Revelation 2:13 when the true saints suffered when Satan used the evil church to slay those who have the true testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. In Revelation 13:2 we have the fulfillment of evil over the world. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
  The church was removed because she lost her testimony. The true saints are not translated OUT of the world IN judgment but to remove the righteous from the days of evil. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. (Isaiah 57:1) Now after the True Church is translated, the false church under the Mystery of Babylon will continue to exist because the powers of the earth have an alliance with MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT.
  MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH are ALL the religious systems of the world unified under one banner: a religious united conglomerate controlling the kings of the earth. The merchants and merchandisers of the earth are made wealthy by this religious corporate empire. But the Beast that the woman of Babylon rides on will destroy her because Lucifer/Satan (although he formed and used Babylon) will never allow worship to be redirected from himself, even the religious systems that he created. There is a proverb that is quite fitting in this situation of the woman (Babylon) riding on the back of the Beast. ‘He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount.’ So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:3) And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:7)
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. (Revelation 17:16) For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. (Revelation 17:17)
  The Beast of Revelation 13:2 has the power and seat of Satan. The number thirteen has always been considered an evil number. It identifies the false trinity of the earth: Satan, the Beast and the false prophet. The number two (2) in each case is a witness against the evil of both the Son of God and the Spirit of God. Remember the whole book of the Revelation is a revelation that God has given unto His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. When it comes to the seven churches, each church first hears the voice of the Son of God and each church closes with the words He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Throughout the book of the Revelation, we have the voice of the two divine witnesses: the Son of God and the Spirit of God. The number thirteen is regarded by the world to be an evil and unlucky numerical value. Example: Friday, the 13th; represented by unlucky Friday. And Hollywood even produces movies called “Friday the 13.th Many high-rise buildings do NOT have a 13th floor. So, we should consider very closely the number13 in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Yes, Virginia, there is a devil, and he thrives on the number 13. (By the way, the two witnesses (the Son of God and the Spirit of God) each has a witness in the last Chapter of the book of Revelation.)
 When this nation (the United States of America) was destroyed on November 4, 2020, it was destroyed from within by the hidden principalities and powers of Lucifer both within and outside of the government. It was a coup disguised as an insurrection of the people, when it was actually an insurrection by the government AGAINST the people. So, you can see in the spiritual sense how he overcame the church and destroyed in by bringing in false professors, false priests, false ministers, false deacons and elders, the church became one with Diotrephes (3rd John 1:9) and sat down in the seat of Satan and allowed Satan to dwell WITHIN and refused to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. (Jude 1:3) In Revelation 2:13, it was the marriage of Satan to the church. A priesthood had already been established that was NOT of God, much as the priesthood of Ahab and Jezebel. The early false priesthood under the name of Nicolaitans even created and deified a man upon the throne of Rome and the throne of the church. His name was Constantine; he was the first monarch enthroned over the church which NOW (at that age of church history) became the seed of Babylon the Great, the MYSTERY the Mother of Harlots and the Abomination of the earth. However, what Satan created in placing his seat under the Roman Emperor became a battle with world powers over the spiritual power and dominion of Rome. The church became empowered by the children of Satan and this all began in Revelation 13:2. But its seed and roots are documented in Jude 1:4, For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
  In Revelation 13:2, Satan drops the facade of religion and presents HIMSELF artificially with his desire to be God in the great Deceiver, the Beast or the man of sin, thus, connecting the man of sin to the first man Adam who brought sin into the world. World power is given to one man. After millenniums of the history of mankind, the one who was created in the image of God (Adam) has degenerated into a Beast, the OPPOSITE of evolution. The man of sin and his kingdom is rotten and degenerate. It is ruled entirely by SIN and by the seat of Satan. The Beast comes out of the pit, and in this Beast is found NO GOOD THING. This is the man who fulfills the very words of Satan in Genesis 3:5, ye shall be as gods. Consider the three witnesses that we have of the Beast: the first witness is the combination of all four men of Revelation Chapter 6; the second witness is the Beast of Revelation 13:2; and the third witness of the Beast under the title ‘man of sin’ is 2nd Thessalonians, Chapter 2, verse 3.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (2nd Thessalonians 2:3) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2nd Thessalonians 2:4) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? (2nd Thessalonians 2:5) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. (2nd Thessalonians 2:6) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. (2nd Thessalonians 2:7) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (2nd Thessalonians 2:8) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (2nd Thessalonians 2:9) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2nd Thessalonians 2:10) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (2nd Thessalonians 2:11) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2nd Thessalonians 2:12)
   In verse 3, we have a great falling away of the church from the Bridegroom. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; (Revelation 2:1)
   What is this falling away? Denying Christ: His place within His own Church as the Head of the Church. Denying His voice within His Church as the Living Word of God. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. (Revelation 2:4) Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. (Revelation 2:5) But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. (Revelation 2:6) This had been going on since the beginning of the Church. The epistles of Paul, Peter, James and Timothy are laced with the corruption that WAS ALREADY rampant in the church at the time of their writings due to evil men coming in unawares. The Church itself has filled up her own cup of disobedience, and today, all the denominations, all the independents, all the major religions DENY the rights of Christ Himself as Head over His own Church and DENY the tremendous doctrines that were given to not only hold the Church together, but to root out the evil and DENY its presence and guard against the powers of Satan within the holy walls of God’s Temple, which on earth IS THE BODY OF CHRIST. This has nothing to do with physical structures. Each building block in the Holy Temple of God (His Church on earth) IS EVERY spiritual born again believer washed in the blood of Christ and born of the Spirit of God. There are no walls of man that can contain the Spirit of Christ. The Spirit of Christ is FREE to choose those who He will in His divine work of redemption. The Christ of God needs NO earthly power, NO organization of man to fulfill God’s will and purpose. Again, I remind you, it was the religious world of man in the Jews and the political power of the world in Rome that gathered against the Lord and His anointed, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the SAME today. Christ is knocking on the door to all the hearts without and outside the camp. Here is another truth that you may not like: each time that someone with a false tongue and a false heart professes Jesus Christ as their Savior, they are pretenders, and they are linked emphatically with the children of Satan. We have pretenders in government, and pretenders in the Church. So much so that the Lord Himself said that only few will enter in, and the majority will be rejected. There have been many pretenders that desired to be King of kings and Lord of lords, but that place is reserved and occupied by only ONE, the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings and that is the Lord Jesus Christ who with the brightness of His coming will destroy the Beast and his kingdom and the kingdoms of this world. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (2nd Thessalonians 2:8)
  I once had a conversation with another Christian, our spirits met together and when we departed I said, ‘where thou goest, I go, and thou goest with me for we are bound eternally in the Spirit of Christ.’ To every Christian who reads these words, You are bound to every child of God in the earth by the Spirit of Christ. You are bound in every child of God who has gone on to heaven’s glory in the presence of Christ. We are not bound by temporal things, but we are bound by the love of Christ. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20) This one verse has the full recipe of God’s love. To enjoy God’s love, one has to be crucified with Christ. To enjoy God’s love, one has to live for Christ. To enjoy God’s love, Christ has to live within you. To enjoy God’s love, one has to live by faith IN that love for Christ IN God’s love GAVE HIMSELF for you. I hope and pray that this same Spirit is within you, and that the Spirit of Christ has found His home in your heart. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Hebrews 10:12)

Behold, THE Man
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)
 Now let’s expand our thoughts guided by the Spirit of God and the Spirit of grace concerning THIS MAN. Behold, the man is mentioned six times in scripture. All these references are not directed solely to the Lord Jesus Christ, but each one has a special meaning. However, in relationship to Christ’s divine kingdom, Pilate not only declared the Behold, the man, he also stated Behold, your king.
1Â Behold, the man. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: (Genesis 3:22)
2Â Behold, the man. And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the [other] day. (Judges 13:10)
3Â Behold, the man. And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people. (1st Samuel 9:17)
4Â Behold, the man. And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. (Ezekiel 9:11)
5Â Behold, the man. And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: (Zechariah 6:12)
6Â Behold, the man. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man! (John 19:5)
—— ♦ ——
Behold, THIS MAN
1Â Behold, the man. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: (Genesis 3:22) It is evident that God begins with Adam, but what do we see?
Side Note: US . . . OUR . . . WE. Godhead revealed in the Old Testament and in the New Testament.
• And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26)
• And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:(Genesis 3:22)
• Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.(Genesis 11:7)

 One of the things that many tend to miss, the Lord refers to the Godhead with the word us, and then the following five words, to know good and evil. What we see is that only God has complete control over good and evil and because of His righteousness, He discerns both good and evil with His divine judicial judgment. Whereas man cannot handle both good and evil because of sin, man is prone to evil and not to good. God had to restrict mankind from the tree of life by driving him into a land of thorns and thistles.
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:Â (Genesis 3:22) Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. (Genesis 3:23) So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (Genesis 3:24)
 The last mention of Behold, the man is the second man from heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man! (John 19:5) He did not come to the earth from heaven to change Adam. He came from heaven to REMOVE Adam from the earth and to create a NEW RACE of man that is heavenly. The Lord Jesus came forth wearing a crown of thorns, wearing the symbol of the curse on Himself. As Adam gave us thorns and thistles, so Christ took the thorns and thistles away. We also see in this first mention of Behold, the man, that Adam was denied the tree of life, and eternal life. The second man, wearing the crown of thorns CAME to give man and opportunity to return to the paradise of God and to partake of the tree of life. We see this in the overcomer in the first Church in Revelation 2:7, He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. This also connects the Lord Jesus Christ in the words, Behold, your king, when Pilate referred to Christ.
  The crown of thorns speaks of man’s dominion under the curse of sin. When the Lord Jesus wore the crown of thorns, that crown symbolized what Adam had given man in his trespass against God. Pilate proclaimed the Lord Jesus as King, Behold, your king, after this conversation with Christ, Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. (John 18:37)
  As Adam lost dominion over the world, now Christ, as the Son of man came to take that dominion unto Himself as the NEW MAN in glory. Of twain he made one new man. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace. (Ephesians 2:15)
2Â The second mention of Behold, the man: And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the [other] day. (Judges 13:10) Again this refers to the heavenly man. He is called the Angel of the Lord in Judges Chapter 13. Manoah and his wife feared that they would surely die because they had seen God. How do we know that this Angel was the Lord Jesus Christ? He allowed Manoah to sacrifice a kid on a stone, as Abel. (Judges 13:19) Then, in that sacrifice, He ascended into heaven. For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on [it], and fell on their faces to the ground. (Judges 13:19) And His name is absent. Why? Because the name above all names was not yet given. This name would be revealed in the fullness of time. Christ would ascend to heaven through the fires of judgment upon the cross of Calvary. We see a connection with Judges Chapter 13 in Ephesians 5:2, And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3Â Behold, the man. And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people. (1st Samuel 9:17) The first mention of Behold, the man in Genesis Chapter 3 is also tied to the third mention of Behold, the man, for it was the choosing of a king for Israel in Saul. And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people. (1st Samuel 9:17) Although God designated Saul as king over Israel, Saul was anointed with a VIAL of oil, showing the character of his kingdom. If you can bare it, Saul was the first king of Israel, but he was also the first witness of the Beast of Revelation Chapter 13. When the children of Israel desired a king instead of God reigning over them, Samuel was given a prophecy to the children of Israel on what this king would be like in 1st Samuel Chapter 8: 9-18.Â
Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. (1st Samuel 8:9) And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. (1st Samuel 8:10) And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. (1st Samuel 8:11) And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. (1st Samuel 8:12) And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. (1st Samuel 8:13) And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. (1st Samuel 8:14) And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. (1st Samuel 8:15) And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. (1st Samuel 8:16) He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. (1st Samuel 8:17) And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day. (1st Samuel 8:18)
  As Saul dominated the people of Israel, so, the man of sin in Revelation 13 will completely dominate the world. The Beast’s suppression of the people will be much greater than that of Saul over Israel. Saul was marked by evil spirits, and the man of sin is also marked by the spirit of Satan. After this tremendous warning by the prophet Samuel, the people of Israel still desired a king like other nations to rule over them instead of Jehovah. As Samuel wept over this tragedy, God affirmed that Israel’s rejection was their refusal to have Jehovah as their King. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. (1st Samuel 8:7) We should also understand that the reign of the Beast, the man of sin, comes at a point where the peoples of the world have totally rejected God and His Christ.
4Â Behold, the man. The fourth mention of Behold, the man, And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. (Ezekiel 9:11) Here is the man with the inkhorn moving through the people of Israel, and marking those who are of God. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. (Hebrews 2:13)
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (John 10:27) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. (John 10:29)
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. (John 17:12)
  As the mark of the inkhorn distinguished the children of God, in the New Testament (in the book of the Revelation) we see the heavenly man (the man with the inkhorn) writing His name upon His children. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12) We have many windows in the Old Testament (and in similitudes they give us prophetic views of what is to come) and now, this day, as you read these words, the man with the inkhorn is marking His children that God has given unto Him with eternal life. As the man with the inkhorn is portrayed as the obedient servant, as also Christ fulfilled His servitude to God the Father as the perfect servant. Ezekiel 9:11 closes with these words, And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me. Now I am going to leave it up to you, go through the New Testament and see how many times in the epistles that the complete obedience of Christ is mentioned. You will be overwhelmed with your own lack of obedience to God.
5Â Behold, the man.And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: (Zechariah 6:12)
  In Zechariah 6:13 we have the prophetic revelation of both the King eternal and the eternal Priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ as Melchisedec. As He is the root of David, He is also the root of Melchisedec, and we get this ALL in the man who is The BRANCH.
  And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: (Zechariah 6:12) We should also consider verse 13, Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
  The BRANCH is the extension of the tree, and the tree is the extension of the root. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (Revelation 22:16) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. (John 15:1) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (John 15:2)
  The BRANCH of Zachariah is also the root of David. He is also the true vine of John 15. He is also The BRANCH in the eternal Godhead and He will be revealed from heaven as that same Jesus that ascended up to heaven and he shall build the temple of the LORD.
  There are two great prophecies in these words: he shall build the temple of the LORD. His millennial kingdom when He will build the physical Temple of the Lord is the first prophecy as He reigns from that Temple as both Priest and King. The second application is His building a spiritual Temple which is His Body, the Church of the Living God for He spoke of His own body in John 2, as being the Temple of God. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. (John 2:19) Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? (John 2:20) But he spake of the temple of his body. (John 2:21) When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. (John 2:22)
6 Â Behold, the man. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man! (John 19:5) In this sixth documentation of Behold, the man, we read, Then came Jesus forth. The only man who could come forth to take away the curse of sin and death. In the prophetic word from Isaiah Chapter 6, verse 8, we have THE Man who came forth out of heaven. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
 In Chapter 6 of the book of Isaiah (six is the number of man) we see the depth of king Uzziah’s pride and arrogance, and we also see the Lord sitting upon a throne. In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. (Isaiah 6:1) Remember that it was king Uzziah who wanted to be both king and priest. He went into the Temple of God, a man unscarred; he came out of the Temple of God as a leprous man scarred by sin.
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. (2nd Chronicles 26:16)
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:Â (2nd Chronicles 26:17)
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God. (2nd Chronicles 26:18)
Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar. (2nd Chronicles 26:19)
And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him. (2nd Chronicles 26:20)
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. (2nd Chronicles 26:21)
  Why is this so important to the prophecy of Isaiah Chapter 6? Uzziah wanted to be both king and priest. This one of the many sins of the sanctuary, remember the sin of Nadab, and Abihu. (Leviticus 10)
  Uzziah trespassed against God in the censer in his hand to burn incense, and he was also out of his anointed position as king. There is only ONE MAN, and ONLY ONE name given amongst men who IS KING AND PRIEST . . . and this is the Lord Jesus Christ. It is THAT MAN, The BRANCH will sit upon an earthly throne in His millennial kingdom as KING over all the earth, and PRIEST of the most high God in both the order and the oath of Melchisedec. Uzziah was named in the very first verse of Isaiah Chapter 6 where the throne of God is also documented to show the relationship of Uzziah’s desire to be both king and priest of the most high God, and to usurp God’s throne on earth as Lucifer had attempted to usurp God’s throne in the heavenly realm. In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. (Isaiah 6:1) Uzziah is mentioned in Isaiah 6:1 to allow us to see both the SEEN and the UNSEEN. As Uzziah, king of Judah, wanted temporal domination as king and he also wanted to spiritually dominate as priest. The very thing that Lucifer desires on earth, will be fulfilled by his seed in the Beast. Then in Isaiah Chapter 6, we have the vision of the Lord on His throne in the heavenlies, as both King and Priest. We see the Seraphims worshiping the Throne Sitter, and both heaven and earth are connected in verse 3. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. (Isaiah 6:2) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. (Isaiah 6:3)
  Here are a few more points found in the first eight verses of Chapter 6 in the book of Isaiah. All men are undone before the King, the Lord of hosts. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. (Isaiah 6:5) All men need to be purged from sin by the coals of fire. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. (Isaiah 6:7) We not only have the divine Temple of the Lord and His throne, but we also see the brazen altar which speaks of the Lord’s priesthood. However, it is the Seraphims that act as the intercessor for Isaiah in placing the burning coal on his mouth. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. (Isaiah 6:6) The brazen altar is always connected to the cross of Christ. It is from the brazen altar that the sweet savor of the burnt offering ascends up to heaven, and this is directly connected to Ephesians 5:2, And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. It is only after this process in Isaiah 6, that Isaiah hears the voice of the Lord. It is the same with those who are born again. Before they are born again, they are blind, they are deaf, they are lame, and they are also leprous with sin. And again, in verse 8 of Isaiah 6, we have a witness of the Godhead in the word us. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Then we hear the voice of the Man from heaven, Then said I, Here am I; send me.
  Now let’s deal with the purple robe in the sixth mention of Behold, the man. This robe was placed upon Him by the Roman legion, the soldiers of Pilate. It was by this robe that they bowed their knees in mock obedience to the King. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man! (John 19:5) These same soldiers pressed the crown of thorns into the Lord’s brow and beat Him with rods. Satan had raised these men up to show their contempt against the Almighty God. When Pilate saw the Lord Jesus this last time, he was unknowingly also seeing the fulfillment of Isaiah Chapter 52, verses 14 and 15. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. (Isaiah 52:13) As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: (Isaiah 52:14) He who has the power of an endless life cannot be removed from His eternal throne.
  In the purple robe of the man of sorrows we see the heavens opened in the blue mingled with His blood giving us the purple robe of redemption. Although they mocked Him, heaven was loudly proclaiming who the Son of God was and is. Raging mankind can remove neither the eternal King, nor the eternal Priest. He who has the power of an endless life cannot be removed from His eternal throne. (Hebrews 7:16) For in the volume of the book, it is written of the Lord Jesus, that He delights to do the will of God. To this end was He born to fill up the pages of history with His fullness of time. As the Redeemer, He came forth to be the sacrifice for sin. He came to be THIS MAN. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.
 In Behold, the man, we have the heavenly Man, the Man without sin, the Man of eternal life, the Man of glory, the Man of God’s own choosing, the Man of the first born of creation, the Man of the first born from the dead, the Man who came and IS the King eternal, the Man who is the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings, the King of nations. Oh, what a wonderful day, the words just keep coming from above, the pen is as a streak of lightening upon the paper as it moves over the page. I just had to tell you that so that you would know that it is not me . . . It is I.
  I want you to think of the next section, we have gone from Behold, the man to Behold, your king. What a vast universe of words and concepts is cast around the Son of God from the man to your king. In the word ‘king‘ alone there are many facets. Allow me to give you just a few references to my King, the Lord Jesus Christ. I will not let man rob me of my King and Lord. He is King of all saints; all His children have been translated into His kingdom making Him King over all of His children. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (Colossians 1:13)
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. (Revelation 15:3) Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. (Revelation 15:4)
  The Lord Jesus Christ is King eternal of all ages and beyond from everlasting to everlasting. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1st Timothy 1:17) To every saint born of His blood and Seed, He is my King and my God. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. (Psalm 5:2) Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. (Psalm 44:4) He is King over all the earth. For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. (Psalm 47:2) For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. (Psalm 47:7) Both His lower creation (the earth) and His higher creation (the heavenly sphere) knows no other King. He is both Priest of the most high God and the King of Peace, Melchisedec, who also is the King of righteousness.
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;Â (Hebrews 7:1) To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; (Hebrews 7:2) Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. (Hebrews 7:3)
  As the King of righteousness and the King of peace, His plan of redemption is blended by both. He fulfilled all righteousness so that He could give His peace. He told His disciples, and us, as well, My peace I give unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:27) True peace belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Sovereign of peace, and the Sovereign of righteousness. We can also enter into the UNSEEN and see Him as the King of glory. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. (Psalm 24:7) Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. (Psalm 24:8)
 He holds and possesses the ONLY glory that is displayed in both heaven and earth. Peter, James and John beheld His glory upon the earth. John beheld His glory while on the Isle of Patmos, and it was brighter than the sun. Glory surrounds His eternal throne, and glory is projected from the face of our Savior. He possesses the ONLY eternal glory, and this glory is the fullness of God’s glory as Christ is the FULLNESS of the image of God. The Lord Jesus is King of nations, and He has the power over all to judge and He has the power to bless. Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. (Jeremiah 10:7) He sits on the throne of heaven as the King of heaven.
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: (Daniel 4:34) Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase. (Daniel 4:37)
  This is the exact throne that Lucifer coveted when he brought sin into heaven. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (Isaiah 14:13) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14:14) Five times Lucifer declared, I will, in verses 13 and 14 to no avail for Christ is the ONLY King of heaven.
  Now we come to a title, much like the great I AM. It is simple but profound: THE King. He stands alone above all others as THE King.
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. (Isaiah 33:17)
Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. (Song of Songs 1:4)
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. (Luke 19:38)
  His title of King and His kingdom far surpass any earthly monarch or potentate. Let’s not forget He is also King of the Jews. Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. (Matthew 2:2) And to go back to Jacob, and his twelve sons, He is King of Israel. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! (John 1:47) Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. (John 1:48) Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. (John 1:49) Here is a revelation of God given directly to Nathanael, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile; his heart was open to God as it was opened by God. The revelation to Nathanael was directly from the mind of Christ. As we behold, THIS MAN, He is both Lord of Lords, and King of Kings. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:16) His banner of the cross is His banner of love over me.
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;Â (Hebrews 10:12)
Amen, dear Lord, and Selah.
