Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

The Reality of the Invisible

   In our last article we saw the things hoped for, now we must see the reality of the invisible, and we begin in the center of the One who is the invisible God. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24) The unseen Spirit of God that IS GOD, and the fullness of this Spirit can be seen in Revelation 5:6, And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Here we see the seven Spirits of ONE God to both magnify the Lamb (the Son) and the Spirit in complete perfection in the number seven. God fills the unseen and these seven Spirits of God go forth into the whole earth which is the seen. And these seven Spirits of God are directly connected to the Lamb that was slain which is the image of the invisible God Jesus Christ. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (Colossians 1:15) 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)

   Christ was sent by the Father; this was the journey from the invisible to the seen in His manifestation. And yet, this same image existed BEFORE the foundation of the world. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. (John 17:24) Now the unseen was manifested to redeem man to give both Light and Life to man and this life would be LIFE ETERNAL, a life without end to reflect His own endless life. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (John 17:3) The Lord Jesus Christ has a life without end, without time, a life created or brought forth from all eternity. And it would be God the Spirit who would complete the manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ when He, the Holy Spirit of God, came upon Mary with that holy thing. Making the Lord Jesus Christ the manifest image of the seven Spirits of the invisible God. It is Jesus Christ the Lamb, speaking of His redemptive work, that is joined together with the seven Spirits of God in Revelation 5:6 and from the foundation of the earth. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8) When we enter into the life of Christ through our new birth by the Spirit of God, we KNOW the true God and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (John 17:5) This verse takes us back from whence the Lord Jesus was sent before the foundation of the world God the Spirit manifested Himself in the UNSEEN as the Son of the Father who would be the EXPRESS image of the invisible God. This would be the One who God the Father would declare, This is my Son, this day have I begotten thee. We should see with the eyes of faith, and we must start with the invisible God before we can behold the manifest image of God in Jesus Christ.

The Invisible and Visible HOLY GOD

Holy Father – Holy child – Holy Spirit

   We must build a foundation of that invisible God that was revealed from before the foundations of the earth and had His presence and glory with the Father. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. (John 17:11) This verse is one of relationship, holy relationship, we have God the Father, God the Son, and we also have those who will be born of the Spirit and have a relationship with the Eternal God, the invisible God who was manifested to man in Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus not only gives us an example, but gives us the position of His Father, He addresses His Father as HOLY Father. This is the only time in all of scripture that these two words are seen together, and they are used in this combination as Holy Father. Only the Son of God can address God the Father in this true holiness. We, after our new birth, are put in positions as sons whereby we can cry Abba Father. We see Him in a position of holiness, and it is His holiness that indwells us and presents us before God as the redeemed children of God.

   In the book of Acts, Chapter 4, verses 27 and 30, we have the holy child, Jesus, mentioned twice. This is the ONLY TWO times in the entire Bible that holy child is mentioned showing His position in the Godhead. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, (Acts 4:27) By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. (Acts 4:30)

   Now here is the mystery of the unseen: These two words Holy Spirit, are mentioned seven (7) times through the holy scriptures. Do you remember that in Revelation 5:6, we have the seven Spirits of God. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

   Let’s recap: first, there is ONE God and Father of the redeemed, and there is only ONE mention of Holy Father, and this is by the holy child Jesus, who is called holy child twice. So, we see two positions in the Godhead fulfilled in both word and numbers. Now we must investigate the seven mentions of the Holy Spirit to conclude the fulness of the Godhead, the fullness of the Spirit as the unseen God. So, with this journey before us, let us allow God to unveil His Spirit in the seven mentions of the Holy Spirit in the holy scriptures. (Psalm 51:11)

The words Holy Spirit Mentioned Seven Times in Scripture

1. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. (Psalm 51:11)

2. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them. (Isaiah 63:10)

3. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within him? (Psalm 63:11)

4 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? (Luke 11:13)

5. In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Ephesians 1:13)

6. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30)

7. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. (1^st Thessalonians 4:8)

   The first mention is found in Psalm 51:11, Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. This is a personal relationship of the psalmist. He has a personal relationship with the indwelling Spirit of God. He is calling on God to keep Him in his presence by the Spirit of God for in God’s presence is the fullness of joy. The psalmist wants to be blessed by the eternal Spirit of God, that this Spirit of God would always be in him. So, he beseeched God, take not thy holy spirit from me.

   In the second mention of the Holy Spirit of God is found in Isaiah 63:10, But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. Here we have the rebel against God who will neither acknowledge God, nor obey God, and lives in a life of sin away from God. And all of God’s witnesses to the rebel are refused and this vexes the Holy Spirit, so that God has no choice but to be their enemy and to fight against them.

   The third mention is the battle of the unseen that goes on every day in this world. In Isaiah 63:11, we have the opposite of the rebel in a man called Moses. Moses is remembered many years after he walked in the earth and what was special about this shepherd of the flock. The chief Shepherd of 1^st Peter (Chapter 5:4) had put His Spirit within Moses, and Moses in his position as shepherd was the first person recorded with the Holy Spirit being within him. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

   The fourth mention: we now leave the Old Testament for the New Testament, and we see a similarity in Luke 11:13 with Psalm 51:11, If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? We are the children of grace, and we should ask the Father of lights and perfection for the complete power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Lord Jesus has given His children specific commandments; however, they cannot fulfill these commandments without the power of the Holy Spirit in this ungodly world. Remember, the Spirit of God is within you, and the Spirit of God is also around you. In your profession of faith, God has given YOU a new life, and you must fulfill that life through the power of the Spirit of God. You must submit to the power of the Holy Spirit so that He can have full sway in your life, and in my life. It is the Holy Spirit who has separated the good from the evil. It is the Holy Spirit who has transformed us into a vessel of goodness and with the love of God. With such great salvation should we not want to live the fullness of our eternal life even NOW by the Spirit’s presence within us, and our submission to the Spirit of God. We have gone through a transformation from evil to good, from unrighteousness to righteousness, and this has all been performed and accomplished by the Holy Spirit upon us. With our heart crying out to the unseen God, we not only have a revealing of the Spirit of God within us, but we are also sealed by this same Holy Spirit of God.

   The fifth mention, In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (Ephesians 1:13) We see that all the promises of God are fulfilled by the Holy Spirit of promise. The promises of God the Holy Father, and the promises of the Holy child, Jesus, are all met together in the eternal Spirit of God and SEALED within the redeemed. We are SEALED in God the Father. We are SEALED in Christ our Lord. And we are SEALED in the Holy Spirit of God, the Spirit of promise. He will not depart from those who are SEALED by Him in Christ Jesus.

   Let’s see our sealing from God’s side, from God’s part in this. He has SEALED us with the Holy Spirit of promise. The unseen has redeemed the seen. He has redeemed our heart, soul and spirit, and He has put them in His vault (which is Jesus Christ). And there in Christ we are SEALED forever; this answers the burden of the psalmist in Psalm 51:11. We being in Christ have entered into God’s rest. The completion of our salvation whether seen or unseen is complete in Jesus Christ, and we are SEALED in this rest.

   The sixth mention is in Ephesians 4:30, And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. As the children of God, we are SEALED BY the Spirit of God THROUGH the blood of Christ; thus, we are not to GRIEVE the Holy Spirit of God. We are to obey His prodding through the word of God. We are to keep a clean conscience toward God, and we are NOT to allow sin to abide in us. We are to confess our sin before a holy and righteous God. He already sees you in Christ, His perfect Son. We have put on that perfection of Christ. Christ is our life, so, in this world, we are to wash our hands and our feet in the laver of His love.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1^st John 1:7) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (1^st John 1:8) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1^st John 1:9) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1^st John 1:10)

   This is your unseen part, and your unseen conscience crying out to God the Father by the Spirit of God to cleanse yourself before the invisible God to have unbroken fellowship with Jesus Christ through the Spirit of God. The throne of grace in Hebrews Chapter 4, is for your spiritual troubles and your own life within more than the outward trials and tribulations that you have. All trials and tribulations can be overcome by a heart, a soul, and a spirit that is close to God, for you feel the presence of the Lord Jesus, as the great High Priest, making intercession before God the Father for His children.

   In Isaiah 63:10, unconfessed sin vexed his holy Spirit. This is much more than grieving the Holy Spirit of God. You saw that in Isaiah 63, those who vexed the Holy Spirit, refused the Holy Spirit, and became the enemies of God. Now, in the New Testament it is those who are SEALED under the love of God in our Savior’s blood so that it is our deportment of life in an ungodly world, and because we are in an ungodly world, we NEED cleansing because sin is still part of us and of the world around us, we need to confess sin before God regarding our fellowship with the Spirit of God. Remember, sin is what Adam became. Trespass was what he did.

   God was grieved from that first trespass to our present day. God is grieved in this manner: He is grieved in what mankind has become in his sin. Every day as man passes from this scene, from this world, God is grieved because they have refused and vexed the Holy Spirit of grace. They leave this world without Christ, without being SEALED and therefore, they are cast into a place of torment waiting to be judged and sentenced at the great white throne. As with Ephraim’s rejection of God, in the book of Hosea (Chapter 8) God’s heart is turned within Him because they refused His Son, and the blood of the covenant. It is the unseen God who has sent forth His Holy child Jesus, and the world rejected Him, and the world is still rejecting Him. When the Lord Jesus ascended and sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, God, the Holy Father, sent forth the Holy Spirit; and the world at large has rejected the Spirit of God as well.

   Because of current events, the world has been turned upside down. The proponents of this world have made evil good, and good evil. They have made truth a lie and made a lie the truth. Sound familiar? Go back to Genesis Chapter 3, and you will find the father of lies and the father of evil in the serpent who deceived Adam and Eve. (John 8:44) Soon, mankind will run out of time. Time will be no longer. Time is something that you can calculate, yet you cannot see it. Time is part of the unseen. It is part of God’s tools to measure mankind and his history, to measure man’s iniquity throughout time. Very soon, time will cease. God’s final call will come upon all who dwell upon the earth, and few will answer this call, choosing rather to take the mark of the beast and live rather than to embrace Christ with their dying breathe. Since WWII the people of the world have been led by Satan through his social behavior modification agenda: turning away from good and rather than obeying God they have turned to do evil. The sin of Adam has grown into a great tree and the whole world is under its shadow. Man has become a beast. The whole world will be given over to the kingdom of the beast which will be in all darkness of evil continually. (Revelation 13)

   The seventh mention of holy Spirit is recorded in 1^st Thessalonians 4:8. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. In our present world the kingdoms of men despise the kingdom of God. They cannot stand those who are in Christ, those who are just men made perfect in Christ who make up the true Church of the first born.

To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, (Hebrews 12:23) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (Hebrews 12:24) 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 unto us, the ones who make up the Body of Christ, He has given us His Spirit to assure us of His unseen kingdom, and the unseen seven Spirits of God. Remember the title of Holy Father, Holy child, and Holy Spirit. To stir your heart, your soul and your spirit in Luke 11:13 is the only place that the name Holy Spirit is capitalized showing the Holy Spirit’s position in the Godhead. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? One more point I need to bring out is that we have a thrice holy God.

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) 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)

  In Isaiah’s vision it is the UNSEEN who reveal themselves. God reveals Himself to Isaiah, through the seraphim crying out to the children of men, Holy, Holy, Holy. This is the only time that the UNSEEN reveals to the SEEN the thrice holiness of God Almighty, it is the UNSEEN angels around the throne of God being revealed in the SEEN to Isaiah. Holy, holy, holy . . . Holy Father, holy child, and Holy Spirit is a cry of worship to the fullness of the Godhead, and the manifestation of the Godhead came forth in Jesus Christ our Lord. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9)

The UNSEEN Kingdom of God

The First Kingdom

   The creation of God is a witness of the unseen. All the SEEN things around us did not exist before God’s created the SEEN. They are not copies; they are all originals from the breath of the unseen God. 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) We have a witness from the Almighty God of the existence of the Father, and the Son from before the foundation of the earth. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (John 17:5) We have a witness of the eternal Spirit of God, the unseen, in the great creation of God. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2)

   The first thing that we see is that in Genesis 1:1, is the progression of God’s creation. It is the heaven that comes first, this is a distinct place, it is a kingdom of heaven; within this kingdom are innumerable angels, a whole society and economy directed from the throne of God. This kingdom of heaven is mentioned in the book of Matthew thirty-three (33) times. It is singular (not plural), it is ONE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. We are surrounded, in the gospel according to Matthew, with the unseen kingdom of heaven through these thirty-three references to the plurality of God, and His Spirit in the kingdom of heaven. In the first mention of the kingdom of heaven by John the Baptist in Matthew 3:2, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; John is using the seen to explain the unseen in the kingdom of heaven. Are you aware that the kingdom of heaven is ONLY mentioned in the gospel of Matthew which is the gospel of the great King, and the generation of Jesus Christ, the unseen. The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Matthew 1:1) I will list the thirty-three references (32 verses). Take time and read of the UNSEEN in ALL of these references brought out by the SEEN.

1. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 3:2)

2.  From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 4:17)

3.  Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3)

4. Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:10)

5. and 6. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19)

7. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:20)

8.  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21)

9. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 8:11)

10. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 10:7)

11. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. (Matthew 11:11)

12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. (Matthew 11:12)

13. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (Matthew 13:11)

14. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: (Matthew 13:24)

15. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: (Matthew 13:31)

16. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. (Matthew 13:33)

17. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. (Matthew 13:44)

18. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: (Matthew 13:45)

19. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: (Matthew 13:47)

20. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old. (Matthew 13:52)

21. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Matthew 16:19)

22. At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? (Matthew 18:1)

23. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3)

24. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:4)

25. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. (Matthew 18:23)

26. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from [their] mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it]. (Matthew 19:12)

27. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14)

28. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:23)

29. For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. (Matthew 20:1)

30. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, (Matthew 22:2)

31. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (Matthew 23:13)

32. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. (Matthew 25:1)

33. For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. (Matthew 25:14)

  We should allow the Spirit of God to open our heart with the eyes of faith to see into the unseen. The very first mention of the kingdom of heaven in the gospel of Matthew presents to us a vast kingdom of the UNSEEN and the SEEN. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 3:2) The King is in their presence; the forerunner cried out, the kingdom of heaven is at hand; therefore, in the UNSEEN the kingdom is present, and all that is presented is the King who is making His presence known to them both in the unseen and the seen.

    In the last mention of kingdom of heaven in Matthew 25:14, For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods, the King, who has been manifested before them, who they can see, is going away to the unseen. He is going away through the cross, where He will be crucified as the King of the Jews. From the cross He will go into a far country, which is heaven itself. He will, therefore, leave His goods of righteousness behind for His servants to proclaim His kingdom of the unseen through the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ (the gospel is a witness of the unseen).

   In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, Genesis 1:1, heaven COMES first, and the word heaven is singular. In every mention of the kingdom of heaven in Matthew it is the same singular word of heaven. God leads no doubt that heaven is His throne, and earth is His footstool. Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? (Isaiah 66:1) Right now, at this very moment, the kingdom of heaven is occupied by the King of righteousness. 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) Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. (Psalm 2:6) I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Psalm 2:7)

   This King and Savior has the power of an endless life. Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. (Hebrews 7:16) He also has conquered sin and death and is sat down on the right hand of the majesty of high. 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) In Hebrews 1:8, we see a King on His throne of righteousness. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. In His right hand He has the scepter of righteousness revealing that ALL His ways and actions are done in pure righteousness for according to Hebrews 1:9, He, the King with the endless life, has a love and passion for righteousness. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

The Ministry of the UNSEEN to the SEEN

The Third Heaven

   After this King of righteousness made the heaven, He then laid the foundation of the earth, and He made the stars also. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (Hebrews 1:10) Hebrews Chapter 1, verse 2 reaffirms that it was God the Son who made the worlds. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds. (Hebrews 1:2)

    Although the Holy Spirit of God used the word heavens in Hebrews 1:10, it is to show us the multiplicity of the heavens as a tangible object as the stars, the sun, the moon, and the planets, however, when Paul ascended up to the third heaven, here again, we see the singular word heaven. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. (2^nd Corinthians 12:2) In verse 4 of 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 12, we have the word paradise, thus connecting paradise together with heaven. How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. This also connects the overcomer in Revelation Chapter 2 to both paradise and heaven 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. Now, let’s connect the kingdom of heaven to paradise and to the third heaven. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. (Luke 23:42) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.(Luke 23:43) Here we see the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, a personal possession of the King in verse 42 thy kingdom, which is the kingdom of heaven.

   Now, the Lord Jesus connects that kingdom to paradise in verse 43; and Paul in 2^nd Corinthians connects that paradise with heaven with the THIRD heaven. John also shows us that in Revelation Chapter 2 the overcomer is not only presented to paradise, but also to the kingdom of heaven ruled by the King of righteousness, the Lord Jesus Christ.

   While Paul was in the third heaven, he received the revelation of the Church, the Body of Christ, from the King Himself. We also see in the overcomer of Revelation Chapter 2, that this paradise is spoken by the King eternal, the King of righteousness. It is a promise from the King Himself that the overcomer, all the overcomers, will be with Him in His kingdom, in His heaven, in His paradise linking all three together in one holy and righteous dominion.

   Do you see how the Holy Spirit, through the word of God builds the unseen, and through faith the UNSEEN becomes the SEEN. The word of God reveals things that we cannot even imagine. You take all the fantasies of mankind, and they have NEVER presented such a marvelous display of the unseen to the world. The depth of the word of God is truly beyond the understanding of mankind. It can only be revealed in all its truth and facets by the Spirit of God. This is the ministry of the unseen that is revealed to the world through the word of God. However, to look through the spiritual supernatural looking glass one MUST have the Spirit of Christ within. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8:9) And for those who diligently seek Him, they are taught of Him who is all wisdom and knowledge. This is what Paul relates to us in Galatians 1:12, and in Ephesians 3:3. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12) How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words. (Ephesians 3:3) Paul received direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ. However, there is a link from Paul’s revelation to us today in Ephesians Chapter 4, verses 20 and 21. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus.

   The understanding of the word of God MUST come from Christ Himself through the Spirit of God. The qualification of this understanding is that man MUST be born again and have the Spirit of Christ within. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24) We have put on a completely new man separating us from Adam. We have been created in true righteousness of the UNSEEN God. The Spirit of God in Christ has come into our hearts and created us in true righteousness and in true holiness to God. We have the invisible Spirit of God within that has come from the image of God without. Who is capable of understanding these mysteries? Only the true God and Creator of all things has such wisdom and knowledge and understanding that is far above our meager being although we have been created to be conformed to His own likeness. For without faith, it is impossible to please the unseen God who has been revealed in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ; we, as believers, believe that He is, and being a believer, we diligently seek Him, and the knowledge of the holy. This is why there are few messages as these in the world today because men do not diligently seek the face of God through faith. They are caught up with the SEEN around them: the traditions of men, the trappings of the world, the buildings of self-accomplishments, and the way of a sinful life. All these things blind the eyes of men so that they cannot see into the invisible.

The Ministry of the UNSEEN to the SEEN

The Damascus Road

   One example of the unseen dealing with the sons of man is found in the New Testament with the most remarkable conversion of the man from Saul to the apostle Paul. Can I digress? . . . please . . . please, please? The same road that Abraham took to Damascus to defeat the four kings from the eastern territories was the same road where Saul became converted. The Holy Spirit of God deliberately informs us of the name of the exact location of Paul’s conversion.

Side Note: The Damascus Road is connected in a general description of the area and culture that the four kings originated from Babylon: Ur of Chaldees, Mestopamia, the land of Shinar. And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations. Genesis 14:1) The first world war battle of these four united kingdoms against the five kings of the plain; however, after the victory of these four kings, it was Abraham and his forces through God’s power who defeated the nations of Babylon (which is an example of a future battle yet to come at the battle of Armageddon). Read all of Genesis Chapter 14 to see the connection of the route that Abraham followed, it was the Damascus Road. ♦ End of Side Note: The Damascus Road connection.

   It was there on the road to Damascus (the place of battle) that the persecutor of the Church, the reviler of Christ and the enemy of the gospel was determined to follow all the traditions of Judaism, and this would include to imprison and to kill Christians.

   In Acts Chapter 7, Saul gave his consent to the stoning of Stephen, and the message of Stephen rolled right off Saul’s back as he held the clothes of those who stoned Stephen.

And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul. (Acts 7:58)

And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles. (Acts 8:1)

I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. (Acts 26:9)

Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. (Acts 26:10)

And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities. (Acts 26:11)

Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, (Acts 26:12)

And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: (Acts 22:19) And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. (Acts 22:20)

   This reveals Saul’s life before his conversion. This was the attitude of his heart, as he traveled on the Damascus Road, and now Christ revealed Himself to Saul. As Stephen, Saul also beheld the Son of God, and was blinded by the glory of Christ. There in the dusty road, on his knees, blind, the Lord called out of heaven, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. (Acts 26:14) This was an indicator that the previous message of Stephen had no effect on Saul, and the Jews who had stoned Stephen. There are many (throughout history) who have kicked against the gospel. It is sad to think of how many, however, when you have been on the Damascus Road, you know that it is real, and you can also behold the true message of the love of God in and through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

   I want to show you here the progression of the UNSEEN. Paul saw no other man after he had been blinded. He was LED to Damascus and while Paul was being led to Damascus the Spirit of Christ revealed to Ananias, through a vision, the instructions for Saul who would become known as Paul.

And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. (Acts 9:10)

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, (Acts 9:11)

And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. (Acts 9:12)

Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: (Acts 9:13)

And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. (Acts 9:14)

But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: (Acts 9:15)

For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake. (Acts 9:16)

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. (Acts 9:17)

And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. (Acts 9:18)

And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. (Acts 9:19)

And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. (Acts 9:20)

The Ministry of the UNSEEN to the SEEN

Mount Sinai in Arabia

Horeb – Mount Sinai – mount of transfiguration

   When Ananias came to Paul, the scales of blindness fell from his eyes. He was baptized and immediately he preached Christ. This not only shows the work of the Holy Spirit of God, but also the POWER of the Spirit of God with the words straightway he preached Christ. This was just the beginning of the long road that filled the life of Paul. After his conversion, he conferred NOT with man.

But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, (Galatians 1:15) To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: (Galatians 1:16) Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. (Galatians 1:17) Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. (Galatians 1:18)

   Paul tells us that after his conversion he went into Arabia. (Galatians 4:25) What was so important in Arabia? The holy mount of God was there: mount Sinai. It was from this mountain that Paul ascended into the third heaven and met with the Lord where later he confessed that he received the revelations of God concerning the Church from Christ Himself.

   Paul ascended into the third heaven where the UNSEEN became the SEEN and reality to him. This was not smoke and mirrors. This was all the realities of heaven itself, and these realities were opened to Paul. He saw and heard things that he could not repeat nor describe. How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. (2^nd Corinthians 12:4) The holy mount of God is the place of revelation. Where did Moses receive the revelations for the nation of Israel? It was on the holy mount of God, in Arabia. Let’s examine scripture with scripture. And remember the theme of this article, the invisible (the UNSEEN) revealing itself to us by the visible (the SEEN).

   In the life and times of Elijah, in his escape from the ungodly duo of Ahab king of Israel, and Jezebel his satanic wife (the queen of the occult), and from the vast numbers of the worshipers of Baal, Elijah fled into the wilderness, traveling hard. Exhausted he found refuge under a juniper tree. (This is the only time in scripture that a juniper tree is mentioned, a good point to study.) But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers. (1^st Kings 19:4) And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat. (1^st Kings 19:5)

   In this short space within time, Elijah had exhausted all of his strength in slaying the prophets and priests of Baal, and running before the king in his chariot, and then escaping into the wilderness there to meet with the angel of God. Here we have the invisible the UNSEEN revealed to Elijah in the angel of God. But this is not all. It is the angel of God who kindled a fire and made a cake (maybe even angels’ food or manna from heaven), the unseen was revealed to Elijah and gave instructions to go to mount Horeb, the mountain of God, the same holy mountain which Peter described as the mount of transfiguration.

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2^nd Peter 1:16)

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (2^nd Peter 1:17)

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. (2^nd Peter 1:18)

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: (2^nd Peter 1:19)

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2^nd Peter 1:20)

   Having received strength and sustenance to travel further from the juniper tree to mount Sinai, Elijah’s journey took forty days and forty nights on the strength from that manna from God. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God. (1^st Kings 19:8) The number forty is the number of testing, or in the case of the Lord Jesus, it was the number of tempting. (Matthew 4) This journey put Elijah on mount Horeb where he also received revelation directly from the Lord. And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. (1^st Kings 19:15) This small portion of the revelation was to the Gentiles, Elijah was to anoint their future king, Hazael, a Syrian, to be king over Syria. (We have gone into a far country of the unseen. This was the first Gentile king to be anointed by God’s prophet. This determined the future of the ten tribes of Israel in generations to come and it would lead to the captivity of the ten tribes.)

   The holy mount of Horeb, mount Sinai and the mount of transfiguration are all the same mountain. From Moses on Sinai to Elijah on mount Horeb, to the Lord Jesus, Peter, James and John on the mount of transfiguration. Then on the mount of transfiguration we again have the appearance of Moses and Elijah, and their discussion with the Lord Jesus was about what He was about to accomplish in Jerusalem, showing that they were NOT in Jerusalem at that time. Three men of the earth: Peter, James, and John, and three men of the heavenlies: Moses, Elijah, and the transfigured Lord; thus, we have six men over all on mount Horeb, the holy mount of God.

    Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. (Galatians 1:17) Paul went into Arabia, to mount Sinai, mount Horeb, the holy mount of God, and there he received, as Moses and Elijah had received the revelations of God. This was the mount of revelation. Paul, therefore, was the sixth man of the earth to receive revelation from God: Moses, Elijah, Peter, James, John and Paul. Now add to these witnesses, Christ was both the sixth and the seventh Person on this mount in Arabia. Thus, He completed the revelation of Himself in perfection and truth in being the seventh, and He was also the complete and perfect witness and testimony to mankind in being the sixth. This was also amount of witness: in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word is established. On the mount of transfiguration, we have two (Elijah and Moses) who are (the heavenly witnesses) and were (the earthly) witnesses of God’s glory; and we have the three earthly witnesses in Peter, James and John. But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. (Matthew 18:16)

   The Lord Jesus revealed to Paul the revelation of His Church, the Body of Christ, which at that point was unknown to man. These revelations completed the doctrine of faith, the doctrine of justification, the doctrine of righteousness, the doctrine of grace, and many more doctrines that was revealed to apostle Paul although these doctrines existed in men as Abel, and Enoch, and Noah, and so on and so on.

   The apostle Paul was given the clarity and explanation of these spiritual things that are UNSEEN. Paul’s epistles are unique and different from other writings by other men all because of Paul’s ascension into the third heaven. On the mount of transfiguration, there were three witnesses of the UNSEEN: the Lord, Moses, and Elijah. And there were three witnesses of the earth the SEEN: Peter, James and John. Later, Paul would fill up the cup of the UNSEEN a man of earth (SEEN) transported to heaven like Enoch and Elijah, except this man Paul returned to the earth. What had happened? Paul, the SEEN, had gone into the UNSEEN, and there he saw the UNSEEN and the reality of the SEEN, and from THAT world, and what Paul had received from the Lord, Paul was the ONLY one who was transported BACK to the earth to give us the revelation that He received from the Lord Jesus. Later. Paul received further revelation from the Holy Spirit of God. Through Paul’s epistles we, the redeemed, have a fortune of spiritual treasures. How blessed we are through faith, we can go with Paul on his amazing journey through faith and guidance of the Holy Spirit; we can step into the prints left in the sand of time and receive the wisdom and the knowledge of the holy, our eyes can be opened to the UNSEEN through faith.

Side Note: Paul mentioned Arabia again in Galatians 4:24-26. We see the Law of Bondage and the freedom of Jerusalem, which is above, the mother of us all. We should also see Paul’s reference in Hebrews Chapter 12 as he was comparing the mountain of Sinai (which Moses stood upon) to the heavenly Jerusalem and the general assembly of the church of the first born. (Hebrews 12:21-25). ♦ End of Side Note.

The Ministry of the UNSEEN to the SEEN

The Holy Spirit and the Ministering Spirits

   Throughout scripture the Lord Jesus provides windows into the unseen and opens our vision by the word of God. The weight of sin and the earth no longer bind us, we are free in Christ to ascend in our thoughts into the heavenlies and into the presence of the Man Christ Jesus at the right hand of God. We are redeemed by the throne sitter, and it is the throne of righteousness, and the throne sitter that keeps us. Wherefore, the Spirit of God within our hearts cries out, Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts. The witness of the UNSEEN is now in the hands of the Holy Spirit of God. It is HE who reveals the things of Christ to us. It is HE who enables us to rejoice in our salvation in an evil and corrupt world. The power of the righteousness of Christ has overcome ALL evil within us, and we are ministered to by His Spirit that He has sent into our hearts. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8:9) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. (John 14:21)

   To understand the UNSEEN, the Spirit of Christ within the Savior is magnified by the Spirit that Christ has sent into the world. The continuation of the working of Christ within is by the quickening power of the Spirit, and revelations that one receives is from the word of God. The pages of scripture are not empty of the Spirit of God, they are filled with His presence as the Living Word of God who abides forever. He is called the Spirit of truth, and one can rely on the truth that He presents to the redeemed. The UNSEEN Spirit of God MOVES and PRODS so that the children of God will continually submit themselves to the will of the Father through His beloved Son, and the Spirit of Christ that dwells within them. These are just a FEW ministries of the UNSEEN Spirit of God.

   There is also the ministry of the UNSEEN ministering spirits and angels. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. (Hebrews 1:7) Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Hebrews 1:14) When the Lord Jesus was tempted by Satan, after His temptation, God the Father sent angels to minister to His Son. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. (Matthew 4:11) This makes us aware of the value of these unseen spirits continually ministering and protecting the children of God. Before the Lord went to the cross, in the garden, where the travail of His soul caused Him to sweat great drops of blood, again, God the Father sent an angel to strengthen Him for the ordeal ahead, and His crucifixion. These are all evidence FOR US that we might take comfort in the scriptures. As we have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, God the Father is not going to let that blood be tainted in any way.

   We see the works of men from the beginning of time with Adam, man has always been a destroyer, and a denier of God. Man wants to be the supreme being in control of all things, however, through the witness of man, through his history, he has proven to be uncontrollable, and that he can control nothing. Sin drives him to all the acts of evil. There is not enough paper in the world to write down the total complete iniquity within man. God’s eternal word continually shows mankind what he really is that man is bound by sin as a slave in chains, and Satan has the whip of unrighteousness to drive man deeper and deeper into the darkness of Satan’s will. God has given SO MUCH for us, and continues to give us the UNSEEN ministers, the angels from the UNSEEN world. These angels are also controlling factors in the governments of the world. When man reaches a certain depth of evil and iniquity, God gives mankind a nation after their own hearts, and even supplies them with rulers after their own evil hearts. It is the unrepentant peoples of the world who has given us the governments that we have in this world today. Many ask, How has their nation come to such filth and degradation? The answer is because their own unrepentant heart’s desire filth and degradation! Without repentance the people will get evil leaders; as a nation rejects God, so also will the stone that is rejected will reject them. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. (Psalm 118:22)

   Consider this rejection of a nation of their God, and God’s rejection of their chosen king and God’s rejection of a nation. The anointing of Saul (Israel’s first king) unveils God’s rejection through the vessel used to hold the anointing oil. Saul was anointed with oil out of a vial Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance? (1^st Samuel 10:1)

Side Note: The Vial. The vial is only recorded once in the Old Testament. (1^st Samuel 10:1) However, it is recorded seven (7) times in the New Testament, and all seven times it is in judgment in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Here is the Law of First Mention followed through in its first meaning to its last meaning, the vial represents rejection and judgment. ♦ End of Side Note: The Vial.

   This vial also shows Saul’s character that he was a man after the flesh. However, David was anointed with oil our of a horn, and he was the man after God’s own heart. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. (1^st Samuel 16:13) Now according to the Spirit of God, and the word of God, the Lord Jesus was anointed with the oil of gladness, notice that there is no vessel of oil mentioned: neither vial nor horn. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. (Hebrews 1:9) It is this oil of gladness that determines His anointing ABOVE ALL OTHERS. He is exalted higher than the heavens. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; (Hebrews 7:26)

   The anointing of Saul and the anointing of David showed two different results: Saul was a man of sin controlled by an unclean spirit, although he was the choice of the people, Saul was NOT God’s choice. When David was anointed, we have the Spirit of God coming upon him. This SEALED David as God’s man. Therefore, the evil spirit within Saul, the satanic spirit wanted to kill David, and here is the conflict and warfare of the UNSEEN spirits between Satan and God because David was the man after God’s own heart.

And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. (1^st Samuel 13:13) But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee. (1^st Samuel 13:14) 

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: (Psalm 89:20)

    Why are we here (in this article) with Saul and David? The people of Israel had rejected the Almighty from being their divine Sovereign. They craved for a sovereign as the other nations who would be after their own hearts, and in the same likeness of sin. So therefore, God gave them their first king a man of their own likeness, and a man controlled by the same spirit of wickedness. However, God was not through, He raised up David from the sheep fold, He anointed him with His holy oil from a horn of salvation and gave David the nation of Israel as a man after God’s own heart with the Spirit of God within. So, what do we see? This was a battle within the first kingdom of Israel that God established. The battle between good and evil, represented by two different men. It is the battle WITHIN nations that wicked men rule, and periodically God sends His own man to preserve life in that nation and possibly life for the whole world. God interjects the go’s and the stops of mankind for sin is so strong in the human elements that mankind would destroy himself completely if God did not interact in the unseen. Remember how the book of Judges ends. Because of sin, man was in chaos: everyman did that which was right in his own eyes. In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. (Judges 21:25) Now this is the condemning factor: the heart is void of God, everyone, as today, does that which is right in his own eyes. Mankind suffers from physical, moral depravity because of spiritual corruption. Man’s heart is full of iniquity and enmity against God. It is because Satan corrupts the spirit of man that God informed Samuel who was really the objective of Israel’s rejection. 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. (1^st Samuel 8:7) God was rejected by the nation of Israel ALL the way back to the book of Samuel. It is recorded in the gospel’s that throughout the history and life of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, that He was rejected by the nation of Israel; the nation that He came to save and to embrace as His people refused to have Him.

   In our modern age, the players in all governments ruled by man are under the influence of Satan. Mankind has proven over the centuries and millenniums that man cannot rule himself. Yes, you guessed it, it is because of sin within man. This inability of self-control is obvious in our age because Satan has mastered the minds of men. Their sin has aligned them with the evil thoughts and deeds of their master. The sin of their actions continually increases because their evil hearts is enmity against God. Remember, it was Lucifer, the anointed cherub who brought sin into heaven.

Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.(Ezekiel 28:14) Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (Ezekiel 28:15) By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. (Ezekiel 28:16)

   The words thou hast sinned shook heaven and earth for Lucifer was cast down to the ground. The Lord Jesus referred to the casting down of Satan as a bolt of lightning when he was cast out of heaven. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (Luke 10:8) 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) Also Satan is recorded in Revelation Chapter 12, as being cast down to the earth. From the book of Ezekiel, the book of Matthew, and the book of the Revelation is not a sequence of events, but the record of one event when Lucifer was cast out of heaven into the earth. This once great cherub is seen again (after being cast down) as a slithering serpent full of all guile. The great deceiver and liar came forth to indoctrinate and tempt man to sin, and man was trapped in the web of Satan’s sin. It was the woman who was first tempted, she transgressed, and then tempted her husband, Adam, who was the federal head over the earth and also head over the woman, for she was taken from his side and bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh.

   It was the lust of the woman for power that tempted Adam with the words, we shall be as gods. Now this has been fulfilled in our day. Women are strutting around as gods over the brow beaten men of this world, weaponizing their web of sex to conquer man and to rule over man. Writing about evil women who employ sex to control man is definitely ‘How to attract more readers.’ One can learn much about deceitful women and their father the devil from the book of Proverbs.

    If you won’t face the truth, let me help you to open your eyes. There are ads in all forms of media with half naked women awash with sexual overtones. And definitely do not go to the big box stores, unless you wear dark sunglasses to shield your eyes from every manner of undress: from pajamas, nightwear and bathing suits. I often wonder what they are shopping for. It is the woman who is the instigator of murder for she values not her children in abortion. And everyone involved is part of that homicide. To show you man’s inconsistency and confusion, and the power of man’s sin, I remember an article from a newspaper about a man on trial, he had robbed a bank, and in the process of this robbery, he shot a pregnant woman, both the woman and her baby died. He was charged with a double homicide. Should not his also apply to abortion? Sin has taken controlled of this world in every facet and avenue imaginable by twisting truth into lies. There are hospitals just to save children, spending millions of dollars so that children can live, and then right across the street there are abortion clinics paid in millions of dollars to kill millions of babies in ruthless and heartless acts of homicide. What insanity . . . uncontrollable insanity . . . acts of insanity without reason . . . . sin has driven this world into insanity. 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. Genesis Chapter 6:5, déjà vu all over again.’ Did that get a smile? Thank you, Yogi. Let’s get back to the unseen through 2^nd Chronicles 18:3-7.

The Ministry of the UNSEEN to the SEEN

Nothing in the SEEN is coincidental.

The Predetermined Arrow

    Slowly read through the following scripture section to understand how God works behind the scenes in the UNSEEN realm to influence the SEEN realm. 

And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war. (2^nd Chronicles 18:3)

And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. (2^nd Chronicles 18:4)

Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand. (2^nd Chronicles 18:5)

But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? (2^nd Chronicles 18:6)

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. (2^nd Chronicles 18:7)

   This is of interest today. Four hundred false prophets called for and approved war. Yet not one of these prophets would ever get to experience war. We have a godly king in Jehoshaphat who made an alliance with an ungodly king, Ahab. Maybe the godly king will leave and refuse to hear the four hundred false prophets of Satan and ministers of Baal? But . . . oh no . . . Jehoshaphat stayed to listen. These four hundred men of ‘statehood with military and religious wisdom’ convinced Ahab and Jehoshaphat to go to war as they falsely prophesied victory.

    Ahab was the most wicked king in the history of Israel’s northern kingdom of ten tribes. Read what God said about this wicked king and his queen, Jezebel. And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. (1^st Kings 16:30) And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. (1^st Kings 16:33) Not only was Ahab evil, but he was stirred to do more evil by his wife. But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. (1^st Kings 21:35) History has repeated this many times because sin repeats many times. The most recent example in our time frame is the famous duo B and H. What an evil duo they have been, and they continue to be, their global initiative (CGI) is a prime example of Ahab and Jezebel’s tyrannical plans to swallow up Samaria, Israel and all the nations on their borders. In all the wickedness around Ahab, the four hundred false prophets. Jezebel his wife, and Ahab’s own evil heart, there was, however, one prophet of the Lord, named Micaiah.

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. (2^nd Chronicles 18:7)

And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. (2^nd Chronicles 18:8)

And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. (2^nd Chronicles 18:9)

And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. (2^nd Chronicles 18:12)

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. (2^nd Chronicles 18:13)

And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. (2^nd Chronicles 18:15)

And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD? (2^nd Chronicles 18:15)

Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. (2^nd Chronicles 18:16)

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil? (2^nd Chronicles 18:17)

Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. (2^nd Chronicles 18:18)

And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. (2^nd Chronicles 18:19)

Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? (2^nd Chronicles 18:20)

And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so. (2^nd Chronicles 18:21)

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.  (2^nd Chronicles 18:22)

Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? (2^nd Chronicles 18:23)

And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. (2^nd Chronicles 18:24)

And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. (2^nd Chronicles 18:27)

    Ahab locked Micaiah in prison, and here again, God reveals the UNSEEN. While in prison, Micaiah saw the Lord upon His throne. And we have his exact words to king Ahab. This is a wonderful sequence in God dealing with the governments of man. The UNSEEN moves the SEEN to judge the wickedness of an evil king. Although God issued a warning through His single prophet, Ahab believed the four hundred false prophets rather than the word of God.

  Let’s follow the events that led up to Ahab’s death, and ‘the coincidence of the twist of so-called fate’ in the vessel that caused Ahab’s deadly wound. Far back in time, God grew a tree. This tree produced an arrow that was shaped by the arrow maker. This particular arrow was placed in a quiver by a soldier to await its appointed time. Then this arrow was drawn out and placed in a bow, also made from a tree that God had planted and grown. And then this arrow was launched into the air by this appointed soldier. Let’s see this sequence of this predetermined arrow in 1^st Kings Chapter 22, verses 30 – 37.

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. (1^st Kings 22:30)

But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel. (1^st Kings 22:31)

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out. (1^st Kings 22:32)

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.  (1^st Kings 22:33)

And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. (1^st Kings 22:34)

And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. (1^st Kings 22:35)

And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country. (1^st Kings 22:36)

So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. (1^st Kings 22:37)

   At a venture, at a lark, a fool’s shot, at random, the least of all probabilities, a gambler’s nightmare, oh, no . . . although Ahab the king had disguised himself, the eyes of the Lord go to and fro throughout the whole earth and the smallest molecule is opened to His sight. And God KNEW exactly where the disguised king was. The arrow, the bow, the archer, were all prepared by God to fulfill Micaiah’s prophecy, And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. (2^nd Chronicles 18:27) The arrow was launched into the air, and the hand of an angel or spirit guided that arrow to the chariot of Ahab, and the arrow struck Ahab in the most vulnerable spot between the joints of his armor. And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. (1^st Kings 22:34) Can you see the UNSEEN God in removing this ungodly king? God showed His power in the UNSEEN. For it is God who sets up kingdoms and takes them down.

This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. (Daniel 4:17)

That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. (Daniel 4:25)

And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou? (Daniel 4:35)

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: (Daniel 2:20) And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: (Daniel 2:21) He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. (Daniel 2:22)

   In the history of this world, many kingdoms have been lost and forgotten, but not forgotten by God, for all the ungodly rulers of this world, God has an appointment for them to stand at the great white throne of judgment, and the books of their history will be read out against them. The Judge of righteousness, the Author of truth and light will cast them into the lake of fire, where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. There is a warning in Psalm Chapter 2, to the rulers of this world. (Psalm 2:1)

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? (Psalm 2:1)

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, (Psalm 2:2) 

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  (Psalm 2:3)

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. (Psalm 2:4)

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. (Psalm 2:5)

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. (Psalm 2:6)

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (Psalm 2:7) 　

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Psalm 2:8)

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. (Psalm 2:9)

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. (Psalm 2:10)

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (Psalm 2:11)

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. (Psalm 2:12)

   This also is the UNSEEN of Hebrews 11:1, the evidence of things not SEEN. The rulers of this world today have no fear of God. They do neither not believe nor acknowledge that God has any sway in their rule. They DO NOT CARE that they themselves are standing on a precipice overlooking the lake of fire. It is their decision to rule in either a godly manner with God, or to turn their backs on God and rule with their father, the devil.

• The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. (Psalm 36:1)

• There is no fear of God before their eyes. (Romans 3:18)

• The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7)

• The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10)

The Ministry of the UNSEEN to the SEEN

The Final Call from the Unseen

   Let us examine the current conditions of the world, and the leaders thereof. Man has become so dominant in his spirit that he believes that he can reset the whole world in the great RESET. In all of man’s planning he shows no humility, nor repentance for their sin. This is man exalting himself above all things in a self-presumed wisdom that they do not possess. And with this wisdom that they claim to have, they are playing chicken with the lives of all the people of this world as they lightly use the words ‘nuclear war’. They can hide themselves in dens and caves, and in vaults that they have built for protection, but in their madness, there will be nothing left remaining to return to when they emerge from their dens. However, the Creator of all things, He who is the mighty God, is about to unleash His own will and judgment upon the kingdoms of men. The looney toonys have gone far enough, it will be God who judges this earth because man is incapable of turning away from their sin. 

     It is time for the children of God to cry out with the words, How long, Oh Lord? When the children of Israel were in Egypt, although they were enslaved, God waited until their cry came up before Him. Then the Almighty acted in the kingdoms of men. He raised up a leader in Moses, and destroyed the kingdom of Pharaoh, and led the children of Israel out of Egypt to be His people. Whether the aggressor is the United States leading the NATO military alliance, or an individual eastern nation or an individual European nation, the United States is the key to a war that has been contrived and planned by men so that they can have more power over the world and bring in their great RESET. Their great RESET leads to the kingdom of the beast. This great RESET is the inauguration of the kingdom of the beast.

   We live in a world full of lies and Satanic influence, and it is time for the children of God to CRY, to cry out to their Father that we want to go home; that we want to leave this ungodly world and be in the presence of our Savior and God Jesus Christ. Could it be that God is waiting for our cries to deliver us from this unjust world. We see the total corruption in the overthrow of the United States, these same people have taken over NATO, and are in the process of taking over all of Europe. These are demented people under the control of Satan, and they control governments, news agencies, the education system, financial centers, and all the bureaucratic systems within ungodly governments. We need to ask the question, How many wars have the US government been in since WWII? They have been in so many, taking wars to other nations while washing their hands as Pilate in their secure buildings. The United States has definitely been the aggressor under the influence of Satan by their own ungodliness. We see everyone in the western media condemning Russia and making Russia the dark kingdom of the world. And yet, it is the United States who will not let the world rest in peace. It is not Russia that is the aggressor, but the United States hiding behind the Roman eagle who is the true aggressor. Remember the lies of the four hundred false prophets in the presence of Ahab. We have many more than four hundred false prophets in our land. They use patriotism for their own gain. They wave the flag for their own exaltation while they put the masses in subjection with the heel of their boot. They put the United States and its people into confinement to control them, to show their power with fear of their tyrannical rule. They fool man, they fool the religions of the world, and they are so bold that on their currency they write, In God We Trust. These false prophets and false leaders through propaganda, and lies, are in the process of overthrowing the whole world in their great RESET. In the great RESET all freedoms disappear. You will be bound in psychological chains to conform to their programmed system or else. There have already been punitive measures in arresting and incarcerating those of the January 6^th PEACEFUL PROTEST that was turned into mayhem by the very government that they were protesting. It is a miracle that our government didn’t turn this peaceful protest into another Tiananmen Square massacre. It is not the Communists that we should fear, for this last power of the world will be Satanic rule. Satan has been a liar and a murderer from the very beginning. In the shadowy dark halls of governments and mysteriously hidden leaders of this world, we are being chained to a dark and dreary future by their great RESET. God is long suffering, but even God has a limit. And it is time for God to act. Remember Sodom and the five cities of the plains.

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;(Genesis 18:17)

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? (Genesis 18:18)

For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. (Genesis 18:19)

And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; (Genesis 18:20)

I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. (Genesis 18:21)

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. (Genesis 18:22)

And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? (Genesis 18:23)

Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? (Genesis 18:24)

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Genesis 18:25)

And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. (Genesis 18:26)

And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: (Genesis 18:27)

Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. (Genesis 18:28)

And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. (Genesis 18:29)

And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. (Genesis 18:30)

And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. (Genesis 18:31)

And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake. (Genesis 18:32)

And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. (Genesis 18:33)

And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: (Genesis 19:27)

And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. (Genesis 19:28)

And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. (Genesis 19:29)

    Many do not realize there were five cities in this plain of destruction. All were destroyed when the long suffering of God was exhausted. Lot was the only man saved (plus two daughters). One man out of thousands, and God incinerated the rest. God had witnessed to them BEFORE. It was His judgment that brought the four kings of the east. And the king of Sodom had God’s personal witness in Abraham when Abraham told the king of Sodom, that he was a witness of God Almighty and had lifted up his hand to the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth. There was no repentance in the land of Sodom, so God sent fire from above. Measure the sin of the world today: the sins of the flesh, the sins of the mind, the sins of the spirit of mankind, the cup is full of sins to the brim, and the world is under the final call of God. After the captives from the cities of the plains were set free from the four kings of the east, the five cities of the plain went deeper into Satan’s darkness. When God looked DOWN, His eyes beheld their sin, and He Himself came down to judge them and to remove them from the face of the earth. You see, they had no hope, for they were without God, they had cast God off for their sin.

   Abraham pleaded with God for the righteous within these evil cities. But there was only one man, and his name was Lot. Sodom had vexed his righteous soul. The influences of wickedness had robbed Lot of all his physical possessions, and his family, and Sodom had robbed him of any communion with God. The Lord Jesus told us that in the last age the world would be in the same condition as it was in Genesis Chapter 6 when the entire world would be engulfed by its evil imaginations. Christ also said that it would be as Sodom, where every sin of the flesh would come forth to destroy the hearts of men. The Lord said that there would be rumors of wars, and continual wars. I was born in Widnes, England near the end of WWII, and there has been wars and conflicts ever since. Any peace that the world has enjoyed in that period of time is but a few days. With all these signs and with the fulfillment of the Lord’s prophecy upon us, man will not repent. Man denies God. Man denies God’s Christ. Man denies God’s word. Man denies God’s Spirit. And man denies God’s servants, the children of God.

   You are reading this message for a reason, the UNSEEN God and His Holy Spirit has brought you to this site for this moment in time so that you might know that there is life in the crucified one, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Creator of all things, and it is HE who holds the key of salvation and the KEYS of hell and death. You have to make a choice, it is either God’s righteousness in Christ, or Sodom and the evils of Satan and this ungodly world. There is an UNSEEN conflict going on right now between God and Satan for YOUR soul. Don’t let Satan win. Call on the Lord Jesus Christ, out of a fearful and sincere heart, remember the Lord Jesus is the SuperMan of the cross. He has paid all debt for you that you might be free in Him. This is the day of your salvation, or the day of darkness. Everyone has their final call. And yet God is not slack for He has called all men to repentance that they might be saved. Break the shackles of sin, break the shackles of this evil world, listen to the UNSEEN voice in the depth of your heart. I must go now, do not let these words fall to the ground. I close with prayer in Amen and Selah for your very soul.
