Wherefore When He Cometh Into the World
Hebrews 10:5
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: (Hebrews 10:5)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
Christ was Visible Deity
  When God in Christ came into the world, when Deity was made flesh, Wherefore when he cometh into the world; when the Spirit of the Almighty became tangible and visible Wherefore when he cometh into the world, the moment the Holy Ghost brought that holy thing from heaven, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. Wherefore when he cometh into the world; the fullness of time began, and Emmanuel (God with us) took His place on earth as the Redeemer of mankind. Wherefore when he cometh into the world. God not only took on flesh, but He submitted His own Spirit and tabernacled in a sinful world among sinful man, Wherefore when he cometh into the world the body of His flesh was prepared for Him from BEFORE the creation. Christ’s invisible manifestation was and is 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)
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:Â (Ephesians 3:9) To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (Ephesians 3:10) According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (Ephesians 3:11) In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. (Ephesians 3:12)
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:Â (Colossians 1:14) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (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 what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, (Ephesians 1:19) Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, (Ephesians 1:20) Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (Ephesians 1:21) And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, (Ephesians 1:22) Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. (Ephesians 1:23)　
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; (Ephesians 2:14) 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) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: (Ephesians 2:16) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. (Ephesians 2:17) For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (Ephesians 2:18) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; (Ephesians 2:19)
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:Â (Ephesians 4:21) That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; (Ephesians 4:22) And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; (Ephesians 4:23) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24)
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled (Colossians 1:21) In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: (Colossians 1:22)
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:Â (Colossians 3:10)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
Christ was Not of This World
  The tangible flesh was the Man from heaven. The Lord Jesus said of Himself that He was not of this world.And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. (John 8:23) We forget that this was the Divine witness to us, His very words declared that He WAS NOT OF ADAM. Being made the likeness is only the visible and the tangible. We fail to see the spiritual significance of the FULL manifestation of GOD walking amongst man, and yet, what did man see? To man He had no form nor comeliness, and when they saw Him, there was no beauty in Him that they should desire Him. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. (Isaiah 53:2) This was not Absalom, nor the beauty of Absalom. It was the manifestation of God from heaven in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. IN this image Wherefore when he cometh into the world, He would display the figure and life and Spirit of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He was the FULLNESS of the Godhead BODILY.
  Wherefore when he cometh into the world, He left the glories of heaven above. His divine Priesthood as Melchisedec, the beginning of the creation of God, put Himself in subjection to His own creation APART from sin. The divine Man of heaven became the divine Man of earth to make IN HIMSELF ONE NEW MAN Wherefore when he cometh into the world. The cross was to put ADAM OUT OF THE WORLD, and to offer grace to ALL who have sinned.
—– ♦ —–
Wherefore when he cometh into the world
Reconciling the World Unto Himself
  The cross carried the seven declarations of God IN Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. The first declaration was to ALL of man, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. (Luke 23:34) Then there is individual passion to the lonely sinner that thou shalt be with me in paradise. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. (Luke 23:43) Next came the family ties of the earth in what binds man to man and woman to woman. The beginning of the creation of God said, mother receive they son, and son receive thy mother was the care of God’s provision for both Mary and John. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! (John 19:26) Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home]. (John 19:27) We also have the loneliness of the cross, the burning fires of judgment, the darkness over all the world, the shaking of the massive cedar cross as the heart of the Savior was beating sin out of the world. And out of the darkness the words of pain and anguish the words of loneliness, and the solitude of darkness, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46) NO MAN ON EARTH (from Adam to the last man to be born of woman) could ever say that God had forsaken him, for God throughout time MADE the provision of the fullness of time, Wherefore when he cometh into the world. In this time of the cross with His outstretched arms on the beams He pointed to the past, to the present and to the future, His great forgiveness and grace and mercy has been available for ALL of mankind: NONE have been forsaken of God. ONLY the Son of His love endured the darkness and the separation from His heavenly Father and all that belongs to Him.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Reveal a New Triumphant Man
  For this end was He born. 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) The birth of loneliness and lowliness, the walk of solitude, His invisible footprint through the realm of mankind was to reveal God to man, and to bear witness of the truth of Himself. He had come to pave the way of a NEW MAN, a triumphant MAN over sin and death. Although He was tempted in ALL parts like we are, He lived a life APART from sin. He was separated from sinners Wherefore when he cometh into the world.
  ‘I thirst‘, the frailties of the flesh are shown at the cross. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. (John 19:28) Here at the cross, the suffering and the pain and the draining of life out of the flesh demanded those words I thirst. He who was the fountain of life, the living waters, where when a person drinks, he will never thirst again, said, I thirst. The Rock that followed Israel through the wilderness and gave them rivers of living water, the ONLY MAN who was anointed by God with the oil of gladness, the ONE who would wave the scepter of righteousness and sit upon the right hand of God is in ALL power (although the darkness of death was coming) of His endless life. He was able to lay down His life in the same terrifying veil of death, and He was able to take it again because He was not under the Law of Sin and Death. Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. (Hebrews 7:16) He was NOT made after the law of carnal commandments. And what was this law of carnal commandments? Before He hung on the cross, and before the fullness of time, He had told both Adam and Eve (back in the garden) to go forth and multiply. He created man and then made woman for man. Out of ONE creation, He unified two souls together, two spirits which were one and two hearts that were in rhythm with each other. He looked upon them both as ONE creation, and the carnal commandment to them was to go forth and multiply.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Overcame Sin, Death and the Works of the Devil
  When the Savior hung upon the cross, we see the great mystery of His Body that was prepared before the world was. We see the completion of the determinate counsels of God and the fullness of God’s foreknowledge ALL brought together by God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in the fulness of time. And at the hands of sinful men, God’s own creation would kill the Prince of life, would curse Him, would mock Him, would beat Him, would spit upon Him, and would do all vile gestures in both word and deed. Yet Christ would bring forth a glorious Body and would veil the whiteness and purity of His righteousness over His Church, which is His glorious Body, that would be fulfilled in His resurrection. But first He must declare to the world that IT IS FINISHED. (For this cause, came I into the world, what the Father has given to me to do, I have finished His work. It is not I but the Father that worketh within me, destroy this temple, and I will raise it in three days. The blind have been healed and they see. The lepers have been cleansed and are white as snow. The lame have picked up their beds and have walked, The young maiden, and the only son of the widow of Nain, and my old friend Lazarus had experienced life to death, and death to life in my glorious power of my divine work that were finished in my very words IT IS FINISHED.) Wherefore when he cometh into the world . . . it is finished.
  Now Christ was ready to depart, and His last words were not spoken for the world, or to the world, for man was absent in these words. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. (Luke 23:46) When Christ commended His Spirit to God the Father, life was gone, only the body remained for they had drained His blood. He dismissed His Spirit to the Father and He entered into the gloomy darkness of death itself, and yet even the Body that was silent was prepared of God to overcome sin and death and the works of the devil.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
While on the Tree of Death He Offered the Tree of Life to Man
  Wherefore when he cometh into the world. Christ as the beginning of the creation of God took the emptiness of space, the vacuum of darkness, and spoke the worlds into existence. It was the Word of God in full power. In the beginning, He was the God of creation. His words spoke with the power that man cannot understand. The mystery of the creation has revealed much to ignorant man, and in their ignorance, they remain ignorant still and void of the knowledge of God. God created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. All knowledge was at that tree. There was the knowledge of good and in that good was the wisdom and righteousness of God. All that man could, and would be, was surrounded with that goodness, however, there was an evil side of things. The determinate counsels of God would show forth all the truth and grace of God through the knowledge of good. And Satan would show forth all the malignity of evil through the knowledge of evil. Satan had brought sin into heaven and was cast out for his evil rebellion against God. And so at the moment that Adam partook of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, good was placed in conflict with the enmity of evil against God. What Adam partook of changed him forever. He would never return to the earthly paradise of God. He would never partake of the tree of life. He had cast his own lot and Eve’s lot with the principalities and powers of the old serpent the devil. Satan would feed them with his thorns and thistles of sin until man in the fullness of time brought forth the fullness of evil against God’s Christ at the cross of Calvary. God’s Christ would present to sinful man, while on the tree of His own death, the tree of life. Wherefore when he cometh into the world.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Empower Many to Become the Sons of God
  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12) Now the word ‘many‘, as many that would believe in Him, as many as would see that He was the Divine Man with all power in heaven and earth to them He gave power to become the sons of God. The sphere of His power was in the very words that He spoke, He could look at the boisterous wind and say, Peace, be still, and there was a great calm. He could look at the mighty waves foaming out their shame in the sins of man, and rebuke them, and there was a great calm. And man would look on and, in his bewilderment, would cry out, What manner of man is this?
  Wherefore when he cometh into the world. The world would be given every opportunity from the infancy of man in Adam and Eve to the great powers before the flood, to the grace of God with Noah, and once again, the evils of man in Nimrod and his image in the tower of his dominion over all mankind, to Abraham and his call out of the wickedness and vileness of idolatry in Ur of Chaldees, and through the monument of Nebuchadnezzar in the plain of Dura that every knee should bow to the evils of mankind; and yet God brings forth in the fullness of time the Son of His love, not just an image or a manifestation of the Almighty, but the Son is of the Father, and the Father of the Son, and God is Spirit in them both. We cannot understand such a mystery, we do NOT have the fullness of deity within us, we can be partakers of the divine nature in the Spirit of Christ, but this does not give us the fullness of the Godhead bodily that was IN the Lord Jesus Christ. We can only come to sonship through His obedience as the Son of God, and by belief in the Son of God, God brings many sons unto glory. It is not by the blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, it is by the Almighty power of the Spirit of God that God unveils His Sonship upon us who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and have partaken of His endless life. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
He Separated the Righteous from the Wicked
  As a child in a manger, the first born of the Almighty God, the first born of creation, had come into the world as a lowly child upholding all things by the word of His power. From the moment of birth, He prepared the world for the ultimate gift of God in Jesus Christ. The ultimate gift was His life for the life of man.
  When Christ came into the world He knew the entire history of Adam, He knew the fierce battle between God and God’s opposition in man and his father the devil. He knew the final battle on earth in the future when the devil will be released from the bottomless pit, and the devil will have one more attempt to stir up the nations against the Lord and against His anointed. The last testimony to man on earth will be the battle of evil against the goodness of God, and the goodness of God will destroy all evil with the revenging fires from His mouth. The world will taste the bitterness of their own sin as they will be preparing themselves (as others before them) for the lake of fire. This will end the nations. There will be no more earthly principalities and powers under the control of Satan. Just as truth and grace came into the world IN Jesus Christ and showed forth the power of God on the cross of Calvary, so the nations of old and the nations at the time of the death of Christ, and the nations of future judgment, all those who have rejected Christ will be gathered together for the supreme judgment at the great white throne of judgment. When He looks on all the wicked and their wickedness (out of the books that has been written) He will see Adam and all Adam’s descendants who have rejected Him (there is no visible representation of the Church or those who have been saved by the blood of Christ at this throne of judgment) for this is not a place of sanctification. It is a place of supreme and supernatural judgment upon the enemies of God. He who sits upon this great white throne of judgment in all His purity, in all His holiness, and in all His righteousness will judge the sons of man who rejected His grace and truth. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Genesis 18:25) The parchments and the bills of judgment will be read out to those awaiting their fate. Their judgment is already determined in their rejection of God’s dear Son; however, the sentence must be openly declared before God as Christ was openly condemned by man on the cross of Calvary. Man will be openly condemned, judged and sentenced at this great white throne by the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Â
  Through the supreme judgment of God, the finality of man’s sin will be cast into the lake of fire where the Beast and the false prophet are. They will endure and suffer the flames of their own sin throughout all eternity because of their own wrath against Almighty God. Again, when pending judgment of fire was hanging over Sodom, Gomorrah and the other cities of the plains in Genesis 18 Abraham asked the Lord face to face, Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? God will not condemn the righteous with the wicked. We see this through the history of man in God’s mercy and grace that God has never judged the masses based on one man’s sin. He has judged man based not only on the individual’s sin but the compliance of ALL man IN sin. God is long suffering to us-ward. He is not willing that ANY should perish, He desires that ALL would come to repentance and call on the name, the everlasting name of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
  Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? sets the stage of future judgment for those who bath themselves in the sin of man and the wickedness of Satan against the Almighty God. The guilt of man in self-justification would cry out, Why such harsh judgment? It is quite evident that man does not understand the severity of his own sin. The sin of Lucifer brought chaos into heaven. One third of the angels rebelled with Lucifer against God and they were judged for their transgression, and they were bound in chains and sentenced to hell until hell is given up and cast into the lake of fire. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (2nd Peter 2:4) And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. (Jude 1:6) God has reserved them in everlasting chains. This statement by the Holy Spirit of God speaks of a permanent lock down for these rebellious angels. God has RESERVED them, HELD them back, PUT THEM AWAY in hell for a later date when they also will face the PERMANENT judgment of the great Judge of all wickedness both in heaven and in earth. These are not just chains, but EVERLASTING chains. They can neither be broken, nor undone. And there is NO escape, they have been RESERVED in hell, BOUND with EVERLASTING chains until that great moment when the devil and hell and death will be cast with all the nations who rebelled into the lake of fire where the Beast and the false prophet are.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
He Brought Goodness and Light into a World of Darkness
  The rebellion in heaven left a deep scar of darkness throughout the SEEN realm of God’s creation. This rebellion took place in the immediate presence of the Almighty God. The Throne Sitter of all creation was then at WAR with His own creation. This blatant unabashed iniquity took place in the very heart of the realm of His glory. There was WAR in heaven. WAR in the presence of His righteousness. The enemy was full of darkness and refused the light of God; thus, and consequently, and without hesitation God cast them out: the devil to the ground, and the rebellious angels to their prison in hell with everlasting chains upon them. The sin of Lucifer brought darkness. The dark angel from heaven was cast down to the ground. Lucifer’s attempt to usurp the throne of God was the first and greatest upheaval in the very creation of God. Therefore, God cast Lucifer and his darkness down into the lower creation where his darkness covered the face of the world, the face of the deep. 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)
  God is Spirit and IN Him is NO darkness at all, and the Spirit of God hovered over the darkness of ruin. Darkness has a face. It is the face of the deep, and a face of enmity against God. Darkness is the face of sin and destruction (the face of the anointed covering cherub of God) the face of Lucifer; so, God in the supernatural wisdom of His determinate counsels and foreknowledge began His battle against the wickedness of Satan by bringing GOOD and LIGHT into His creation. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:3)` (Genesis 1:4)
  The Lord Jesus not only defines Lucifer and his angels as darkness, but the darkness of mankind embracing sin, embracing Lucifer as their father, and loving the darkness rather than the Light.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:18) 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)
  When the Lord Jesus proclaimed that He beheld Satan cast down as lightening to the earth, He was NOT a bystander, but He was the initiator of Satan being cast out of heaven. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (Luke 10:18) The lightening is brought in to express how dreadful, how shattering, and how monumental this casting down was. All men fear lightening when it is close, and all men should fear Satan because he is never far away. The convulsion that took place was as the fear and dread of lightening and the Lord Jesus Himself, the beginning of the creation of God, cast Satan down to the ground. Satan still works through the darkness to veil sin. He veils his intentions. He veils his diabolical schemes. He veils himself in darkness so that man is unaware of his presence. And then as a roaring lion, he devours them with death.
  The Lord watched as the devil descended as lightening and when he hit the ground, all the power of darkness descended onto God’s creation. 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! In Isaiah 14:12, we see the power of this darkness. When this negative force of darkness hit the creation, another cataclysmic disturbance occurred. Sin was now in the earth in the creature Satan. As we are aware, the whole earth was FULL of the darkness of Satan. And Satan has used his darkness to weaken the nations IN HIS SIN AND REBELLION AGAINST GOD. We see this today in our present world. (I was born in England during the time of the WWII, and war has since that era never ceased.) Lucifer turned the whole world into his great colosseum of a war in rebellion against God and his overthrow of man as well. Battle has become the god of this world as Lucifer weakens the nations bringing them in conflict with each other. The sin of one nation weakens that nation, and the collective sin of nations weakens all nations to the point that the nations through their upheaval within raise up power and principalities in men who are the children of Satan. The same children (Jew and Gentile) crucified the Lord of glory, and took away the Prince of life, and put Him in a tomb of darkness.
  All these wars and rumors of wars and malicious speech against rulers and other nations are ALL centered in the prince of darkness. The politicians and rulers of the United States have given their minds, their hearts, and their souls to the prince of the powers of the air. They have joined with like fellows of other nations to promote and execute war at the cost of blood where blood touches blood. As the Lord Jesus beheld Lucifer when Lucifer was cast down to the ground, the Lord Jesus also testified of His second coming, that it would also be a supernatural event. His coming again (this is not the translation) will yet be another great apocalyptic convulsion in time when HE will come, the Lord of glory, as lightening out of the east. His arrival will be announced by the shaking of the foundations of the world with great earthquakes. The very creation will proclaim His coming. The man of sorrows of Isaiah Chapter 53 will give way to the Man of Isaiah Chapter 63, where the man of sorrows becomes the Man of might and right.
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? (Isaiah 53:1) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. (Isaiah 53:2) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53:3)
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. (Isaiah 63:1) Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? (Isaiah 63:2) I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. (Isaiah 63:3) For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. (Isaiah 63:4) And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. (Isaiah 63:5) And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. (Isaiah 63:6)
  We go from Who hath believed our report? to Who is this that cometh? Two questions that are answered in Revelation Chapter 19, verses 10-21.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10)
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. (Revelation 19:11)
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. (Revelation 19:12)
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (Revelation 19:13)
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Revelation 19:14)
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (Revelation 19:15)
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:16)
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;Â (Revelation 19:17)
That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. (Revelation 19:18)
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. (Revelation 19:19)
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Revelation 19:20)
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (Revelation 19:21)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
I Come Quickly
  This same Jesus of Isaiah Chapter 53 is the same Jesus of Isaiah Chapter 63 IS also this same Jesus of Revelation Chapter 19. This same Body that was prepared BEFORE the foundation of the earth is Jesus of Nazareth: the Word of God, the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings, the I AM of the burning bush, and He will reign over the whole world (as lightening coming out of the east with GREAT power) in the Word of His presence for He upholds all things by the creatorial power of His Word. He upholds all things by His grace and truth, and He upholds all things in the prophetic writings concerning Himself. When He comes, man will not be looking for Him because man will be enjoying the sin of Satan as in the days of Noah, and as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord will come so quickly that wicked men will not have the chance to repent. They will hide themselves in dens and caves from the Almighty face of the Lamb, and they will cry out for the rocks to fall upon them.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:27)
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. (Revelation 3:11)
Behold, I come quickly:Â blessed [is] he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. (Revelation 22:7)
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (Revelation 22:12)
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20)Â
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. (Matthew 24:30)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
Revealing the Rejection of God’s WORD and WILL
Revealing the Acceptance of Satan’s Word and Will
  When Satan agitated and stirred Cain to kill his brother, man never ceased to murder his brother, and Satan has never stopped stirring the murderous heart within man. Today, nations are stirring the masses to kill their brothers and delete from their memories the second commandment that thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The same serpent of old, the devil, has been stirring brother against brother, sons against fathers, daughters against mothers, husbands against wives, and wives against husbands, and nations against nations. From the beginning of the overthrow of mankind in Adam, Satan has been trying to place a man on his throne to control the earth. But God has battled against him, and many times God has destroyed Satan’s plans by destroying those whom Satan uses. From the beginning of Satan’s murderous sin, the devil has been stirring sin in every man born of Adam. Remember, God told both Adam and Eve in the day that thou partake of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt truly die. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: (Genesis 2:16) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Genesis 2:17) Adam brought the fullness of the Law of Sin and Death into the world. He activated sin and when sin is finished it brings forth death. Both the physical and spiritual convulsion AT the tree was the instigation of the sin of Satan . . . ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Lucifer beguiled the woman with the first lie. And she passed the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to Adam and he partook of the fruit of death. This all came from ‘the father of lies.’ What a title to bear before a holy and righteous God. 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)
  Think of all the titles that the devil has been given by the Holy Spirit of God, and the actions of those titles. He is the prince of darkness, and he spreads his darkness over the land. He is the prince of this world, deceiving the world because he is the father of lies and murder. He is as a roaring lion devouring all who get in his way. He is the deceiver of nations, the prince of the power of the air. He is the great deceiver, and the father of ALL wickedness, and his children (as Cain) is of the wicked one. He is the master of idolatry, and imagery, and the image of false gods. He will be the master of the Beast and of the false prophet giving them power from his own seat. He is the father of the MOTHER OF HARLOTS, Babylon the Great. Even his own he will destroy when he is through with them.Â
  The man of his choosing, the Beast, will be prepared of Satan, as Satan entered into Judas, so he will also enter into the Beast. The Beast will destroy ALL the religions of man as he will set himself up to be the only entity to be worshiped of all who walk upon the earth. He will show himself in the temple of God AS GOD, and demand that the people of the world, through the false prophet, worship the image of the Beast. The Beast is the body that Satan WILL prepare and possess to set up Satan’s one world order which will be Satan’s throne on earth. He will rule vicariously through the Beast which is the man of Satan’s own choosing. The world will have one ruler, one economy, one false god (the Beast), and one authority of life and death. The whole world will worship the Beast EXCEPT those who will not take his mark, the mark of his name, or the numerical equivalent: 6 – 6 – 6. This reveals the trinity of evil: Satan, the Beast and the false prophet. The number six is the number of man and man’s state of sin in Adam. We have Satan, who brought sin into heaven, we have the Beast in man who brought sin into the world, and we have the false prophet which embodies all of the father of lies, therefore, we have a trinity of evil ruling the world from a throne of tyranny, murder, and lies.
  In Revelation 12:9, we see the first manifestation of the evils of Satan. This was where the holy WAR of God began. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Although Satan has tried to raise up a man to rule the whole world, God has battled against this from the very beginning. But as God’s history of mankind comes to an end, the second person of this evil trinity will be revealed in the Beast and this Beast will get his power from his father the devil. 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)
  Many men in times past have sold their souls to the devil for power and fame. It is the lust of these two desires that have overthrown kingdoms, principalities and powers. In Revelation Chapter 13 we see the devil’s son fulfilling the will of the old serpent the devil which ties Lucifer with the serpent in the garden at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Beast, or the man of sin, will get his power and throne and great authority from his father, the devil. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Revelation 13:4)
  In Genesis Chapter 6, the devil had accomplished his one world order under sin that he desired. 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. However, God interjected His man, a preacher of righteousness, Noah by name, to confront the wickedness of the world, and to deliver the message of judgment upon their wickedness. The Lord Jesus Himself informed us that before the wickedness of man (in the man of sin) would come all the wickedness of the days of Noah would also come to pass once again. Children will rebel against their parents. Man would lay with man, and woman with woman. Their vain imaginations would take them into a wilderness of insanity as it was in the days of Noah. When this man of sin is revealed, the world of the marked ones will worship the Beast and the Dragon that give his power to the Beast.
  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:9) Satan worship is not new. Groups of humanity have worshiped Satan from the days of Cain. But Satan MUST have his one world control and he will accomplish this through the Beast of man which most likely will reveal himself as the ‘son of Satan.’ And this son, the Beast, will be the most powerful man on planet Earth. He alone will have the power of life and death over ALL the people, and nations, and NO ONE will be able to make war with this Beast, the son of Satan. It will truly be one government, one world order, one ruler, and one power over all. The son of Satan will be / and IS Satan usurping the authority and place of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
  Now this is a very important part of scripture just as the Lord Jesus IS the WORD of the one true God this false god, the Beast, is the word of Satan. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (Revelation 13:5) And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (Revelation 13:6) (Regarding the forty and two months: the Lord’s ministry while on earth was 3 ½ years glorifying the Father in heaven. The Beast also will promote his father, the devil, for 3 ½ years.) In our present day, the false prophets don’t see the importance of these two verses. The great swelling words that proceed out of the mouth of the Beast are Satan’s desire and Satan’s will THROUGH the Beast. The Beast will declare that this throne on earth is more valuable, more domineering, and has more power than the throne of God in heaven. The Beast gives no illusion to any god except for himself. He will live under the guise of a false righteousness and a deceiving tongue wherewith he will deceive the nations. He will blaspheme the true God of heaven and earth. Under the direction of his father the devil who failed in his first attempt to overthrow the throne of God now using man, he is creating a throne to be greater with more power over the souls of man then the Almighty God. The Beast with the inspired words from Satan will speak in the temple, showing himself as god, and proclaiming the words of Satan as he glorifies his own throne.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, (2nd Thessalonians 2:1)
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. (2nd Thessalonians 2:2)
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;Â (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:Â (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:Â (2nd Thessalonians 2:11)
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2nd Thessalonians 2:12)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
Imparting the Mind and Spirit of Christ
  Now here is the mystery of iniquity, first, there will be a great falling away of all truth. Which we are in the process this very moment and time, twenty-four hours a day we live in the great LIE and are controlled by the great LIE. And many have died and will die in the great LIE. Truth has been besieged by the great wall of iniquity every day. The pulpits of the world have been given over to LIES and false representation of the word of God. The traditions of man, and the rudiments of the world have taken over all spiritual conditions in the professing church. In the political realm, Satan has raised up children of LIES to deceive all nations and create a FEAR of man IN man. Politicians have mastered the art of lying. It is to the point that they themselves are so deceived that they believe their own lies as they deceive the people. They have willingly deceived themselves. The devil (through his children) lies and deceives through television and ALL electronic mediums. Every form of communication is being employed to advance the devil’s agenda and plan.
  Remember that self-deception began with Cain. He thought that he was more than he really was, thus, when God favored his brother Abel, Cain rose up and murdered Abel. Anyone who claims to be a politician today needs to examine John 8:44. These politicians today worldwide care NOT for the blood of your children. They have NO MORAL anchor and code except to do evil at the command of Satan. When we consider Job, what did Job do? Job was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. He refused to be in the presence of evil. He rejected evil. So how can these men today claim to be good and yet they swim in a pool of evil every day. Here is a divine truth that few believe today: the children of Adam and the world have the mind of their father the devil, yes, the mind of Lucifer, the angel of iniquity. Therefore, having the mind of Satan, they are children of darkness and have refused the light of Christ.
  Wherefore when he cometh into the world. The children of the Lord Jesus Christ have the mind of Christ. Being born again is a supernatural act of the Spirit of God, and make no mistake, those who are born again have the Spirit of Christ within. They KNOW the exact moment that Christ came into their heart. There are only two lines on earth: the children of Lucifer and the children of God. And just as God will not give up His children, so also, Lucifer will not give up his children. IT IS ONLY THE DIVINE ACT OF GOD that separates a child of Adam, a child of Lucifer, from a child of God. IT IS ONLY THROUGH THE DIVINE ACT OF GOD that one enters into the family of God through a NEW birth. (John 1:12) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.(John 1:13)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Proclaim the Sovereignty of God
  Before we look at the false prophet, let us remind ourselves from whence we came. It is the Lord Jesus who has called us and chosen us in His faith for He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. The Holy Spirit does not want us to dwell on our past sins, He does not want us to walk through life as martyrs to those sins. But He does want us to realize and to always BE thankful for the miracle of our new creation in Christ. Let’s consider Ephesians Chapter 2:1-12.
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;Â (Ephesians 2:1)
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:Â (Ephesians 2:2)
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. (Ephesians 2:3)
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, (Ephesians 2:4)
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)Â (Ephesians 2:5)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:Â (Ephesians 2:6)
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:7)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Â (Ephesians 2:8)
Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:9)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10)
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;Â (Ephesians 2:11)
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:Â (Ephesians 2:12)
  From this point of our salvation in Christ, we should be able to conclude this trinity of evil around us will one day rule over all the earth in the kingdom of the Beast. The third six (6 – 6 – 6) in the trinity of evil is the false prophet. It is his position to glorify the Beast who in reality is the manifest image of Satan in the flesh. The kingdom of the Beast is not without turmoil for he comes to power by the great power and authority of the old serpent the devil. At one point his kingdom, the kingdom of the Beast, is in great upheaval for he is wounded by the sword. However, this is NOT fatal. We need also to see in Revelation Chapter 13 that these last two men under Satan, the Beast and the false prophet, are both called beasts. This is how far mankind has come that man is a beast before God. It is the false prophet, or the second beast, who brings forth the image of the Beast. Remember that we are dealing with all signs, and lying wonder to deceive the men who dwell upon the earth. The image of the first Beast demands the worship of ALL nations and peoples.
  We return to the days of Nebuchadnezzar when his image was set up, that at the sound of the sackbut, dulcimer, and all kinds of music all peoples, all nations and people bow to the great image of Nebuchadnezzar. We have the record of three Hebrew men Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refusing to bow to the great image of this tyrant Nebuchadnezzar, therefore, they were cast into the furnace of fire. But the Lord came and loosed them from the ropes that bound them and prevented the fire from harming them; even their clothes did not smell of smoke, nor were they damaged by the fire. So it will be in the day of the first Beast and the second Beast that those who refuse to bow to the image of the Beast will be cut off from this world. But they will be endowed with the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they will have the veil of His grace upon them.
  In this trinity of evil, we have Satan, who is the father of lies and of murder. We have the Beast who comes up out of the sea, who is the representation of all the evils of Satan, and then lastly, we have the false prophet who glorifies the first Beast by building the image which most likely will be the fullness of AI to completely deceive the people as we read in Revelation Chapter 13:11-18.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (Revelation 13:11)
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Revelation 13:12)
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, (Revelation 13:13)
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Revelation 13:14)
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (Revelation 13:15)
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:Â (Revelation 13:16)
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Revelation 13:17)
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (Revelation 13:18)
  I want you to see this last six (6 – 6 – 6), it is a man with no conscience capable of all lies for there is no presence of ANY truth within him. He is capable of both signs and lying wonders. The nations and the masses will love to have it so. They will bury their heads in their own sins as they bow and worship the Beast.
  In the Old Testament we have the history of Ahab and his four hundred false prophets who were filled with lying spirits. Each one of these prophets prophesied to Ahab (the king of Samaria and the ten northern tribes) that he was going to be victorious over the Syrians. But there was ONE man, a prophet of God, who was already in prison for speaking the word of God, and God brought him out of prison to prophesy. This is the only time that Micaiah is made known to us . . . this was his mission, and his mission alone, to be faithful to the word of God even while been confined unjustly in a prison.
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king’s hand. (1st Kings 22:12)
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good. (1st Kings 22:13)
And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak. (1st Kings 22:14)
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. (1st Kings 22:15)
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD? (1st Kings 22:16)
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace. (1st Kings 22:17)
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? (1st Kings 22:18)
  Micaiah prophesied of Ahab’s death that he would fall at Ramothgilead. And so, his words were fulfilled. And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. (1st Kings 22:28) Four hundred false prophets unitedly proclaimed that king Ahab would be victorious, and yet only ONE prophet of God prophesied the truth.
  On that fateful day, there was one Syrian soldier, who at a venture, at a lark, at a whim, took an arrow from his quiver, laced it in the string of his bow, pulled with all his might, and released the arrow into the air. BUT that day the bow was stronger, the string was tighter, and the arrow was straighter, and as the arrow left the bow, the hand of the Lord guided that arrow upward through the air, and then plummeted the arrow down and that most unlikely arrow struck Ahab in the most vital spot, BETWEEN the seams in 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. (1st 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. (1st 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. (1st Kings 22:36) So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. (1st Kings 22:37)
  Ahab passed into eternity. He had sold his soul to do evil. And in the place that Naboth’s blood was spilled, the dogs licked up the blood of Ahab out of the chariot. And [one] washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake. (1st Kings 22:38) Previous to Ahab’s death, Elijah the Tishbite also prophesied of the death of Ahab, note how thorough God is in describing that the dogs would lick Ahab’s blood. And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. (1st Kings 21:19)
Side Note: The Dogs. And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. (1st Kings 21:23) Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. (1st Kings 21:24) The word of God specifically details that from the line of three dynasties in the northern kingdom DOGS would lick the blood of all those of the line of Jeroboam, (1st Kings 14:11) and from the line of Baasha (1st Kings 16:4). However, prophecy adds that not only would the line of Ahab be consumed by dogs, but Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, would be eaten by dogs. ♦ End of Side Note: The Dogs.
  We are cognizant of the things that we see, but because of the absence of faith in the masses the majority of nations and peoples do not understand the work of the unseen God. In the trinity of evil, Satan is the father of all lies; the first Beast is the manifestation and voice and personality of Satan for he blasphemies not only God, but the saints who are in heaven. Within the first Beast is the total enmity of Satan manifesting all the evils of Satan upon the earth. The last six is the second Beast, the false prophet, who is capable of all signs and lying wonders. This completes this section of Satan IN his evil trinity of 6 – 6 – 6 to blot out the memory and the thoughts of the true God of heaven and earth and the fullness of the Godhead bodily: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
  Those who are born of the Spirit of God, to them the Spirit of Christ has given the Spirit of life which has freed them 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) 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) In both these verses we have the result of God’s power in the creation, the NEW creation, of a child of God.
  It is IMPOSSIBLE to be saved without the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be saved without the Spirit of Christ within. The world and the professing church have lost ALL comprehension of what IS God’s sovereignty. They will listen to deceivers and the false prophets of this world and will not believe in a SOVEREIGN God who can call, who can choose, who can impart faith into the heart, and by His own power create a NEW BEING in Christ Jesus His Son. Everyone who comes to God has not come of their own power. It is by God’s sovereign interaction with their heart, soul, and spirit that anyone is saved.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Separate His Chosen and Faithful from the World
  In Revelation 17, the powers of the world make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb overcomes them for He is the Lord of lords, and King of kings. They who are born of His Spirit and washed in His blood will be with Him for they are called, and chosen, and faithful. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Revelation 17:14)
  We live in a world that is not a Christian world. It is full of false prophets, and antichrists. These false ministers of light and truth have developed a system throughout their denominations and religions based on the traditions of man and the rudiments of this world. When anyone does not agree with their lies, even in THIS day, they have to separate themselves from the evils within the professing church and man’s religions. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you. (2nd Corinthians 6:17)
  Many think that Chapter 13 of the book of Revelation will never come to pass, and yet we are at the brink of this great prophetic event. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 13:7) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (2nd Thessalonians 2:9) This will NOT be Satan’s LAST attempt to create his own one world earthly government, his throne upon the earth, before the millennial reign of Christ. After the millennial kingdom, Satan will again gather the nations. This will be Satan’s LAST unsuccessful attempt in the final BATTLE to dominate the creation of God. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (Revelation 20:7) And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (Revelation 20:8)
  As the children of God, we have been set aside by God, we have been called OUT of an evil world that we once embraced. This has come by the divine love from God the Father in sending the Son of His love and showering us with both His mercy and grace. The Son of God is the Son of grace and truth, and the Son of grace and truth has sent into our hearts the Spirit of the Living God to lead us into ALL truth. We have the Father, the manifestation of God in the Son, and the Holy Ghost who glorifies the Son of God. Satan’s counterfeit of the Godhead is the complete opposite of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. As Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily, so Satan is the fullness of the man of sin, the Beast, and the false prophet. Six hundred threescore and six (the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air, the angel of darkness) is the deceiver FULL of all lying wonders.
  In Revelation 13 we see a tripart of evil making WAR against God and His saints. This war or the finality of war, is ready to reach its conclusion. We are in that war NOW. The world has been at war with God since Adam partook of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The great destroyer, Satan himself, is turning everything upside down in Satan’s quest for a one world order. It will be FULL of all evil and blasphemy against God.
  When Christ was crucified for the sin of the whole world, Rome was the dominant controlling nation over the entire world. Through its massive legions, Rome subdued the nations of the world. Satan was working in THAT day to bring in his one world order, but that was not the first time. Satan’s work never ceases. In the age of Nebuchadnezzar and his golden image, Satan was working THEN during THAT time period to bring about his one world order. We could go further back in time to Nimrod, and the tower of Babel, when God came DOWN and confused their language and separated the people by languages and into nations so that they would not have a one world order. Or we could go back before the flood and the land of Nod under the rule of Cain when Cain built the first recorded city on this planet. A city to rule over the land, a place of a throne, to unite the world to Cain, and we read in 1st John Chapter 3 that Cain was of that wicked one. Even in the earliest rule of mankind over mankind, Satan was pushing for his own world order, a world one under the control of one, to establish Satan’s own government, a government of lies ruled by evil and enforced by tyranny. And now through the ages of time, we approach the last great earthly government of Satan through and by man.
Side Note: The Ceaseless Conflict Continues through the Ages. When Christ came into this world, the Roman government ruled by the edge of the sword. They ruled the world politically and religiously under their pagan gods. They had elevated their Caesar’s to a place of deification. Rome ruled over the Jews under the fist of Herod and they worshiped in the Temple known as Herod’s temple because HE had built this glorious temple to appease the Jews and to own them and to control them. In Herod’s mind heart and soul, this temple was a monument unto himself. After the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, Satan was not going to achieve his one world order for it was not God’s time.
  The Roman empire had extended itself beyond its measure, and the economy of Rome fell apart, and so, its armies of legions lost territorial possessions and fell into disarray. Inside the Roman government, the Senate morally decayed through corruption, deceit and betrayal. All the sins of the flesh were committed within Rome’s domain: men with men, women with women, abusing children, and collective murder in the great Colosseum. It is interesting that this Colosseum, this place of blood, was actually built to hold the failing and falling state together. Blood became Rome’s entertainment and distraction from its inevitable collapse and ruin. At first, this distraction made its way as games. Great warriors fought each other. Then slaves were brought in and when the people became restless and tired of the games, they brought in wild animals: lions, tigers, and other beasts as men fought these beasts to the death. And then lastly, Satan attempting to save his one world order, Rome fed Christians to the lions. It is said that the blood in the Colosseum extends down twenty feet or more into the soil. I really do not know, but it seems possible considering how much blood was shed in this great Colosseum of blood and death. When this first began, it was only on special occasions that the people gathered together, the leaders of the armies of the legions attended, the leaders of the Senate were there, even Caesar made his presence known. When the people grew restless and bored, the government increased the games of death. Caesar even made a sign; he asked the approval of the people by the sign of the thumb. If the crowd put their thumbs in an upward position than life was upheld, when the crowd put their thumbs down then blood was shed, and death reigned and even today that sign is still given as approval or disapproval. God will not LET this world forget the abominations of the Colosseum. As the blood increased in the Colosseum, the power of Rome decreased. Rome destroyed itself from within (as this nation, the United States, has been destroyed from within by its own leaders rulers.) Their leaders took showers with their daughters, had their wives killed in chariot accidents, paid assassins to rid themselves of their opponents, and made laws to incriminate just men to keep them from coming to power. This has been repeated over and over throughout the history of mankind.
  In our own county, the United States of America, has been fed a system of lies to appease us while our government sheds blood at home and all over the world. Many believe that it was the U.S. government that assassinated JFK and his brother Bobby. These two men had become detrimental to the military-industrial complex and a threat to the established powers who had come to rule. Earlier, President Eisenhower had advised the nation to guard against the military-industrial complex (MIC) because of their great potential power to overthrow the nation. I will not give proof or another theory regarding the MIC, I will only say that Satan has been working in this same manner from the very beginning of humanity.
  In this great tragedy of our government overthrowing the people in a coup, Satan has buried the truth under mountains of theories and lies, and because of the sin within man, man will believe a lie before he believes the truth. There is one point that very few examine, who gave the call, who at the last moment changed JFK’s procession route in Dallas, Texas. It would require a great authority, it could only come from someone above the Secret Service, for it would be against the practice of this agency to do such a thing at such a short notice. The command had to come from a person holding a high position IN the government ABOVE the Secret Service. And it had to come from the one person who had power over the military-industrial complex and who had served as the head of the Armed Forces Committee. The one person who would benefit most and be exalted most and who would be able to continue on the path of the desires of a government hiding in the shadows: the MIC.
  We come to the present time and man still believes a lie before he will believe the truth. It was a political-global-military coup that took place in 2020 to overthrow President Trump. He stood and is still standing in the way of Satan, and Satan’s plan for a one world order. Now the attack is against both Russia and China. These two power centers are both being demonized every day by western governments, by western propaganda news media, and the leaders of both parties of the United States. You may ask yourself why this hatred? It is because both Russia and China stand in the way of Satan’s one world order. Putin is a threat to Washington. Washington does not care whom it sacrifices in its power play for world dominance. Washington is doing the same thing as Rome did only with different players. Why use the Ukraine? The American people are not willing to give up 200,000 of its children to be sacrificed on a foreign shore at this time in history, but their government (since the coup of evilness) is always willing to sacrifice their young. The people of the Ukraine have been used, abused and manipulated by their controlled leaders (much as the people of the United States have been used, abused and manipulated but without the spilt blood in their towns. We must not forget Vietnam and the murder of the ‘war babies’ and the people of Vietnam). The Ukraine has not been a sovereign nation ever since the puppeteer’s strings of money and murder overcame that nation. The puppeteer has many puppets; the United States also no longer is a sovereign nation; their true and legal President is no longer allowed in the White House, and the person or persons who control the strings of the nation operate behind the dark curtain of lies and confusion.
  Washington will crumble because of the loss of value in the dollar. The dollar will cease to be a one world currency. As our government in Washington swims in trillions of dollars of debt, so many individual states also live over their heads in debt. When the power of currency ceases to exist, then a country crumbles from within. This country has been crumbling from within for a very long time. And it is because of the dreadful sin with the hearts of its people.
  I cannot see their end, but I know that it will come. But when the USA is taken out of the way, as Rome, as Babylon, as Nimrod’s great society, like the world order before the flood, they will hold on to the bitter end. When Rome was burning, Satan knew it was time to move on to form another Rome; therefore, Washington, D.C. is political and military Rome renewed. The Capitol of the United States has been the seat of idolatry for many years, in its obelisk, its statues, and its great monuments to men of renown. How the design of the city of Washington, D.C. is laid out and the very placement of this idolatry in the obelisk and the statues of the men of renown are there to glorify the strive of man against God. Think of every statue of this great men, all have one common denominator: war and death. It has been the same throughout the history of this world. Nations are formed and nations fall. Our country, our Capitol, is but a drop of time out of the bucket of humanity.
  The time has come as renewed Rome revitalized (the United States) has also fallen in the same manner as former Rome under the old Caesars’ though moral decay and sinful depravation. Sin is the termite of humanity destroying from within until there is an outward collapse and Washington has perfected moral decay. A nation cannot survive on games and entertainment The Washington tyrants are unaware that their faces and eyes reflect the deadness of their darkened souls, and there is one thing that the majority of the people of this nation can neither admit, nor can they accept that their dead leaders are but a reflection of their own sin and iniquity and their own dead souls. ♦ End of Side Note: The Ceaseless Conflict Continues through the Ages.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Defeat the Works of the Devil
  Because of the sin that Adam brought into the world, man has become a mimic of Satan’s character. Read these verses in Ezekiel Chapter 28, from verse 14 to verse 18.
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)
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. (Ezekiel 28:17)
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. (Ezekiel 28:18)
  To understand the true character of man under the penalty of sin, one should see the character and the being of the anointed cherub. From all the angels, it was only Lucifer who was anointed. This is a remarkable thing. For only ONE time in all of scripture do we have an angel being anointed of God. This shows the position that Lucifer held before iniquity was found in him. He was undoubtedly next in line in the sanctuary of God to God Himself as Jesus Christ, the Melchisedec of God. Lucifer was perfect in all his ways UNTIL iniquity was found in him.
  We see a reflection of this position of authority with Adam. Adam was created to have dominion over the earth, over the beasts, over the fowls, and dominion over the things in the sea. When iniquity was found in Lucifer what was the cause? It was By the multitude of thy merchandise. Whatever the economy was or is in heaven, Lucifer desired to enrich himself in the multitude of his personal merchandising scheme to the point that it filled . . . By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned. (Ezekiel 28:16) Thus, Lucifer sinned against the Almighty God. He became profane in the sight of God. The sin within was not dormant. It was being acted upon continually. Lucifer’s heart was lifted up because of his anointing and his beauty. He corrupted his own wisdom being full of pride because of his brightness. Then he defiled the sanctuaries of God by the multitude of his iniquities and by the iniquity of his trafficking.
  As we look on man, Adam had dominion over the earth. When we examine the events in the garden, God told Adam and Eve that they should not take of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in that very day they would surely die. What Adam should have done was to place a large sign beside that tree, ‘No Trespassing.’ But that wasn’t to be. A verbal warning from God was NOT enough to frighten man from the Law of Sin and Death. When the adversary came to Adam and Eve, both had considered themselves to be more than they actually were because of their position. As soon as Lucifer presented the possibility of deity to them, ye shall be as gods, they were ready to partake of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Since that very moment, iniquity was found in mankind because sin had entered into man, and the result of that sin that we see today is all brought about by the SAME Satanic pride that was in Lucifer and his love of merchandising, his love of dominion, and his love of deception.
  Man has been a willing host and an ally to the spirit of Satan. We see this especially with Cain. It didn’t take long to find a man full of pride and full of the merchandise of his own hands, and disobedient to the fundamentals of God’s truth. What God had spoken; Cain ignored because Cain was of that wicked one. (1st John 3:12)
  In our age, everything is based on wealth and merchandising. All the upheavals in the world use these two elements of wealth and merchandising to overthrow individuals, to overthrow nations and to overthrow the world. Satan has a thirst for power. So when you see someone who has a thirst for power, whether it is through money or merchandising, it comes from the same source. Global politics is based on merchandising. Whether it is gold, or the petrodollar or any other form of currency, it is ALL to promote and be used for merchandising. This is why Peter advised the saints that the false prophets, the children of the wicked one, will do their best to make merchandise out of the saints of God.
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (2nd Peter 2:1) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (2nd Peter 2:2) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (2nd Peter 2:3) For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; (2nd Peter 2:4)
  The believer in the Lord Jesus Christ does not put himself first. He puts the Lord Jesus Christ first. He is to follow the will of God in his life. He is in a world of evil and a world that is claimed by the children of the wicked one. The only defense is the Spirit of God within, and the Word of God, both Living and written. When one puts a dollar sign to his faith, it destroys the working of faith within. Through the history of God’s people from Abel to this present day, God has used men from all standings to serve Him. We are told (through the New Testament) that the world will HATE us if we are the children of God for it is our standing in Christ that the children of disobedience hate, and the more active we are in our testimony for Christ, the more the world comes out against us.
  The children of the wicked never admit to their affiliation with the devil. They deny that their sin and actions are related to the will of Satan; yet, they are moved about by his power. The ants love the sweetness of honey, as the wicked one and his children love their lies. The age that we current live in is totally corrupted. Every sphere of our age has become corrupted especially the professing church, and religions of all kinds have willingly and deliberately deceived the people. The world is number one in merchandising, the professing church is number two in merchandising, and the world religions in all kinds are number three in merchandising, and these are all signs of The End times. What unites all spheres of humanity together? It is merchandising. Nations, and religious groups are caught up in merchandising leaving no doubt that they are children of the wicked one. In Genesis Chapter 6, verse 5, man’s imagination and his heart of iniquity blinded him to all truth both in spiritual knowledge and in moral control. 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. Romans Chapter 1 describes this ancient world before the judgment of the universal flood.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;Â (Romans 1:18)
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (Romans 1:19)
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Â (Romans 1:20)
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Romans 1:21)
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:22)
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Romans 1:23)
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:Â (Romans 1:24)
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25)
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (Romans 1:26)
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (Romans 1:27)
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;Â (Romans 1:28)
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, (Romans 1:29)
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (Romans 1:30)
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:Â (Romans 1:31)
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)
  What we understand from Genesis Chapter 6 and Romans, Chapter 1 is that God has a tolerance level concerning sin, and when that level is reached then judgment cometh forth. The Lord Jesus reminded His disciples that when the end comes it would be as the days of Noah when God brought down the curtain of judgment on those of Genesis Chapter 6. As He destroyed that first world, He will also bring down the curtain of judgment over humanity and our world. God will stop the kingdom of the Beast, which is the kingdom of Lucifer, the prince of this world, the prince of the power of the air. Lucifer will have his one world order, and he will set his world in battle array against God and against God’s anointed the Lord Jesus Christ. Satan has built his kingdom on earth through the vain imaginations of the thoughts and intents of man’s evil heart.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Set His King on His Holy Hill of Zion
  Psalm 2 is a profoundly beautiful prophetic psalm. The first three verses describe not only the condition of the peoples of the world, but the continuous state of man throughout his history. 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). Man without God, the heathen, rage against God and against His Christ (his anointed) and the imaginations of their evil hearts continue to dominant their existence up to the very last second of man’s history. The last verse of Psalm 2, verse 12, 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, opens the door of escape from God’s righteous and well-placed judgment through His Son . . . Kiss the Son.
  In between the first and last verses of Psalm 2, the great plan of God is unfolded to us. God sees men in all their disarray and evil, even man declaring that his will is stronger than God’s will when the rulers take counsel together to cast off God, but the Sovereign of all things sits in heaven and will have all evil men in derision.
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)
 Satan revealed his mind and the imaginations of his heart at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil . . . that his desire was to be as god. It wasn’t just tempting and deceiving man to sin that Satan desired, but he desired the possession of man: man’s soul.
 Satan’s plan to overthrow God involves man’s time and history. In order to achieve his kingdom over earth Satan has to disrupt God’s one world order by his own one world order scheme. Satan’s one world order is based on the sin of man, the iniquity of man’s heart and the vain imagination of man’s mind. God said in Psalm 2, verse 6, Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
  God’s King was sent to the world in the fullness of time IN the Lord Jesus, He had come to be the King of Israel. Yet, Israel refused Him as their King. Think of the mind set of the Jews in that particular period of time. Because of their sin and iniquity, God had sent them into captivity in Babylon for seventy years, then He had allowed them to be under the iron boot of Rome even into the days of Christ. The Jews considered themselves the people of God, a nation called by His name: Israel (a prince with God). And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. (Genesis 32:28) You would think that they would have been glad to receive their King, and yet the heart of man is so contrite to the things of God that they rejected the Holy One of Israel and instead banded and sided with Roman.
  Satan has not only led the nation of Israel in sin throughout their history, but through Satan’s deception of both Jew and Gentile, he (Satan) with them (Jew and Gentile) completed the greatest wickedness of ALL of the earth and the peoples of the world in their betrayal and murder of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary by the children of the wicked one.
  Upon the day of resurrection, when the two men walked out of Jerusalem and journeyed toward Emmaus, Christ appeared to them and what proceeded was a revelation of God to these two individuals. Christ expounded ALL things concerning Himself that were written in the scriptures from Moses and the prophets, and the book of Psalms, in all of this, He revealed His deity and His eternal existence to these two souls. So much so, that the very words that He spoke burned in their hearts. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? (Luke 24:32) We do not read of their exact conversation, nor the particular verses that Christ used, but we do KNOW, by the Spirit of God, that He revealed ALL things concerning Himself from the Old Testament. It would be wonderful to know all the words that the Lord spoke to these two souls, but we do not have them, however, the Holy Spirit has given us the Old Testament, and the gospels, the book of Acts, the epistles, and the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to tell us concerning ALL things in the New Testament about the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The New Testament with the Old Testament reveals the truth of previous prophecies given by the prophets of old. Now in our age, all these things concerning the Son of God is revealed to us by the Spirit of truth that Christ promised would lead us into all truth.
  Why are people so confused today, why are there so many false doctrines and teachings? It is all because of the lack of the knowledge of the divine scriptures that holds within their pages ALL truth: which is the knowledge of the holy. Many people speak about inspiration as a cloud passing over, driven by the wind, instead, the heart of man is touched by the voice of God in His word. He puts the words within the heart, within the mind, and within the mouth. The prophets wrote as the Spirit of Christ that was within them led them with His words to write the exact mind of Christ. Just as He spoke to those two on the Emmaus Road, He has ALWAYS spoken to the mind, the heart, the soul and the spirit of His servants. This is why Psalm 2 is so important in God’s eternal plan. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. For God’s Christ WILL sit on God’s throne in Jerusalem in God’s holy hill. This will not be a tribute King, but the King of all glory, the Lord Jesus Christ. This same Jesus will come in like manner to rule the world in righteousness and to continue to glorify God His Father as His sits upon His throne of righteousness as both King and Priest after the order of Melchisedec fulfilling the great prophetic picture of Genesis Chapter14 that was revealed to Abraham which was His eternal Priesthood after the order of Melchisedec.
  I would like you to see that it is not only in Psalm 2 that God’s King is sitting on the holy hill of Zion, which is Jerusalem, but we also see the SAME thought of God’s mind in Psalm 110 concerning the eternal Priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Look at the similarities in Psalm 2, He is a King against His enemies. In Psalm 110, He is the Priest forever after the order of Melchisedec to bring the righteousness of God before His enemies.
<<A Psalm of David.>> The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1)
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. (Psalm 110:2)
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. (Psalm 110:3)
The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. (Psalm 110:4)
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. (Psalm 110:5)
He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. (Psalm 110:6)
He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. (Psalm 110:7)
  The very first verse of Psalm 110 shows us the conflict against the heathen, and the people who image a vain thing. Here we see the Lord as Melchizedek sat down at the right hand of God. The Spirit of God repeats this in the very first Chapter of the book of Hebrews. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? (Hebrews 1:13) Concerning the Lord’s Kingship in verse 2 of Psalm 110, He is told to rule in the midst of His enemies. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. In verse 3 of Psalm 110, Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. We see the day of His power which is prophesied in Zachariah 6:13, 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. When we consider Psalm 2, Psalm 110, and Zachariah 6:13, we can put a face and a Person to the Holy King of Zion and the Priest after the order of Melchisedec. For it is only the Lord Jesus Christ who has brought to us the holiness and the peace of God. In His righteousness as Melchisedec He offered Himself upon the cross of Calvary. The fullness of time became the fullness of the purpose of God in His beloved Son. Is it any wonder that the Spirit of God draws all this together for us in Hebrews Chapter 7? Here the purpose of the Spirit of God is to show us the very ETERNAL in the Body that was prepared for Him. He is the Priest of righteousness. He is the King of peace. He subdues ALL His enemies through the power of His endless life as He laid down His life in holiness to God, and He raised Himself by the Eternal Spirit in His perfection as His Eternal Priesthood as Melchisedec. So much so that 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) When He was led (by the Jews) as a Lamb unto the slaughter, the Lord Jesus was fulfilling Psalm 110. It was His Priesthood as Melchisedec speaking for He was THEN the very sacrifice that would be offered for sin.
  There was no other Body that was as perfect before the Almighty God. Adam (sin) had not touched Him for He was not of Adam. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. (John 8:23) The sin of Adam had no dominion over Him. He walked in His invisible priestly garments from heaven’s side. God the Father saw Christ as Melchisedec bringing the lamb to the slaughter. His Father saw Him as the Priest of the most high God putting the sin of the whole world upon Himself so that all men may come to God through Him. It is only in the character of Melchisedec that Christ could say while on the cross, It is finished.
  So, let’s once again take Psalm 2, (the King), and Psalm 110, (the Eternal Priesthood of Melchisedec), and Zachariah 6:13 and Hebrews 7 and apply them all to the Body that was prepared for Him BEFORE the world was created and BEFORE time itself was instituted. Since the day that the Lord was crucified, the Holy Spirit has been hovering over the face of the deep bringing Light into the dark world of sinful man. Today, two thousand years plus from the cross, we are still dealing with the sin of man which has driven man into the ignorance of his very Creator. Today in every station of life whether it is world governments, religious or political leaders, they are FAR removed from the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of the holy.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
To Redeem His Nation Israel
To Fulfill His Promises to Israel
  When we study history, TRUE history, the biblical history of mankind, we see that ALL societies and ALL peoples are a reflection of their leaders, and their leaders are a reflection of their peoples. When the era of democracy came into the world, people believed that they could rule over themselves. They never examined their writings and documents based on the sin of man. The seeds of democracy saw mankind in a better light than he actually was and is. What has destroyed all kingdoms and nations? It is the sin within that kingdom and nation. Think of Israel. God called THAT nation OUT of darkness and SET that nation before Him as a nation of princes in the sons of Jacob. When God changed the nation of Jacob from Supplanter to Israel ‘a prince with God,’ He revealed THEN that this would be the way He would look on the whole nation under the title of Israel: a prince with God. Whether you approve or you don’t approve is not the issue here for God has never required the approval of His creatures to ratify His decisions and His proclamations. Israel was the ONLY NATION from all the nations that has ever been, or will ever yet to be, is called HIS PEOPLE. Nations have been blessed and aided many times by God’s hand, but ONLY ONE NATION has the unique position of being specifically called HIS PEOPLE.
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. (Isaiah 43:1) Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. (Isaiah 44:2)
  It would be God Himself, the Creator of Israel, who would rule over them. He would establish Himself as their King in Jesurun. And herein, is the tragedy of Israel’s great failure and rebellious sin against their Holy and Righteous Creator God. All the blessings that He bestowed upon Israel were measured against their sin. Not only were the blessings conditional, but all the ordinances that were given under The Law were to awaken the heart, the soul, and the spirit of the children of Israel to the fact of God’s divine righteousness, and what He DEMANDED of the nation that HE created. We see the failure in Israel because of Israel’s sin. We also see the failure in ALL nations whether Jew or Gentile for ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Side Note: Why the Prophetic Battle Between the Western World and the World of the East Must Play Out. The eyes of man in our present age have been so darkened that they no longer see the battle between God and Satan for the souls of man. Today, all the leaders/rulers of the nations are fighting for control over the souls of man being duped by the great deceiver in his quest to bring a one world order under the mark of the Beast. The one world order (under Satan’s control) will come by the unification and control of both the political systems and artificial intelligence of AI (which is neither artificial nor intelligence). Satan MUST unify all these things to bring about his one world order, and to set his king on his evil and unrighteous throne. To look into the foggy mist of nations where leaders/rulers are not only manipulated by their own sin, but collectively they are controlled by the sins of others.
  The seemingly recent turmoil that has come into the world with the battle of the West against the East through the visible primary battle is the Ukraine versus Russia. This is not recent, for since the end of the visible military action of WWII, this battle became relabeled by the words ‘Cold War,’ versus a ‘Hot War.’ The rattling of swords and the threats of the United States against China is an attempt to bring another war in the East. Why is this? At this moment in man’s notorious war history both Russia and China stand in the way of Satan’s one world order. The new alliances of world order, (BRICS) that once regarded the West as powerful now have given their allegiance or alliances to both Russia and China. (“BRICS is an acronym for five leading economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.”) This economic realignment has upset the satanic balance of the West and Satan’s quest for a one world order. He does not have that much time to bring his Beast to the throne, so therefore, expect the world to change at a much faster rate than in all the history of the kingdoms of men. There will be a great acceleration of evil all over the world. Satan will be running to and fro to bring about HIS order of a one world order when his man of Revelation Chapter 13 will have the power over life and death. As it began at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, with Satan tempting man, and man bringing both sin and death into the world in Adam, so in Revelation 13, in Satan’s man, we see the fulfillment of Satan’s heart where this man has the power over life and death. The power of life and death is another power that Satan is trying to usurp from the Almighty God. The old serpent, the devil, Lucifer, Satan himself still desires to have ALL power over ALL mankind on the planet that he has disrupted and that he has energized with his war against the Almighty God. ♦End of Side Note: Why the Prophetic Battle Between the Western World and the World of the East Must Play Out.
Another Side Note: The War with Many Battles with Many Fronts and the Front Closer to Home. In the unrest of ALL the nations the theory or the belief in democracy, the rule of the people, is being turned upside down by the political powers uniting their powers to overthrow the rule of the people. Again, it is the sin within man that will NOT allow true democracies to exist. Democracies may shine for a short time, but they will fade into dimness and darkness as sin darkens the soul of nations. The suppression of democracy has been gradual since its first foundation. The word ‘democracy’ has become so common that leaders of falsely called democracies called their totalitarian governments democracies. First, the United States is supposed to be a constitutional republic not a democracy. Secondly, we are no longer a constitutional republic. In order to sustain a constitutional republic one must first OBEY the Constitution, and this little accepted fact is the reason why the United States is not a republic but is NOW a full-blown totalitarian regime with an invisible unknown head directing its demise.
  Democracy is NOT based on the individual’s vote. It is based on the document that creates that democracy. The vote of the people is to ensure that document is upheld by their vote for just men to represent them. When there are NO just men, then democracy is undermined and democracy slips into a totalitarian government formed not by the people but by mere created numbers. And as we see in the United States of America, the unjust men, for many decades, have suppressed the people with their unjust laws of corruption, not laws of justice.
  There is a report that says that January 6th was an upheaval of the people, but the truth is that January 6th was an upheaval by the government of the people. (I am surprised that there wasn’t more violence considering the government of their nation had been overthrown and the people were told by the rulers of their country to go home and shut up.) The few that protested did so peacefully. They were there to protest all that their government had illegally done in overthrowing the people that their government supposedly represented. Those who acted in a non-peaceful manner were government agents in their professional roles as subversives.
  So where are we now? Where is our nation? And why is it in so much turmoil? Because as men have lost their souls, so their nation has also lost its soul. When President Trump was in the White House, there was not one day that he was not under attack from the Democrats and the Republican parties (the Uniparty) and members of his own cabinet. When Antifa and BLM were burning down America, how many were arrested and sent to jail? And in their mock arrests, they were quickly released from the back door. They were moved by the hatred of their own government against their President. We all KNOW that the deep state is more than just politicians, and we KNOW that the deep state thrives on the darkness of sin of all kinds. Nothing is reserved, ALL things are open to them. They bring darkness wherever they go, and they are confederate with all the darkness of Satan.
  Sadly, one of the amusing things that occurred during the committee hearings confirming Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, were when the agents of the deep state were openly seen paying protestors with money from paper bags. This was your government at work. It was truly a Ringling Brothers Circus come to the big tent of Washington, D.C. Then when the organized and preplanned riots rushed the steps of the Supreme Court it was then that the Democrat party was visibly seen as the perpetrators of rebellion while their allies and confederates, the Republican party, sat as silent stooges.
  The freedom of a once great country has slowly eroded and has slipped into a state of slavery because of the very sin of the people, and their leaders. Lucifer has them right where he wants them. He dominates their thoughts with his thoughts. He has taken away wisdom and common sense and has replaced it with insanity: the same insanity of Genesis Chapter 6 when the world was ruled by vain imaginations and the wickedness of the heart of man. ♦ End of Another Side Note: The War with Many Battles and with Many Fronts and the Front Closer to Home.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
Now is the Judgment of this World
  In John Chapter 12, the Lord Jesus stated that now is the judgment of this world.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. (John 12:27)
Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. (John 12:28)
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. (John 12:29)
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. (John 12:30)
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. (John 12:31)
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (John 12:32)
This he said, signifying what death he should die. (John 12:33)
  When the Lord was crucified, He fulfilled all righteousness in Himself. He made it possible for all of mankind to repent, and to be born-again into the family of God. Through this, it was, and is, a heavenly people that He is receiving unto Himself. From the cross, the people who reject the Lord Jesus Christ are in that world of God’s judgment. Man does not wish to see it this way because man does not want to accept his own state in sin, and through unrighteous thoughts against the Almighty God, man loves his sin even more.
  When the disciples stood and watched the Lord Jesus ascend up into heaven, there was a heavenly witness, there were two men in white apparel standing there reassuring the disciples that this same Jesus will come again in like manner.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9) And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; (Acts 1:10) Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. (Acts 1:11)
  From the cross, the Lord Jesus was placed into the tomb of darkness, a sepulchre, that was prepared for Him, a tomb without the taste and smell of death. Christ departed from the place of death as a new Man having made peace with God by His death and resurrection, 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) Let us understand that the battle not only took place ON the cross, but BEFORE the cross where all gathered to watch the crucifixion of God’s dear Son. Satan had provoked the Jews, he had also provoked the Romans, the powers of the devil are truly limited, however they are supernatural powers. It is only ignorance of God’s holy word that man does not understand the demonic conflict between Satan, God and man. The gospel of Mark opens with a confrontation of God’s Son against the demons of Lucifer. Although these demons were under Satan’s power, they recognized the Lord Jesus as the Son of God.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. (Mark 1:22) And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, (Mark 1:23) Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. (Mark 1:24) And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. (Mark 1:25) And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. (Mark 1:26)
  In the presence of the Lord Jesus, in the upper room while His disciples gathered around Him, Satan entered into that room and entered into Judas. This was EXACTLY at the time that the Lord was explaining the His Body of Hebrews 10:5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me. His Body and His blood were given to them for them.
Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. (John 13:26) And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. (John 13:27)
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. (Matthew 26:25) And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. (Matthew 26:26)
  This Body was manifested to them, He explained that His flesh and His blood was to bear the sin of man in Adam; His Body was prepared to take sin out of the world, and the New Testament was sealed in His blood. BEFORE the creation all that was initiated was by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, the prelude to the beginning of the creation of God IN Jesus Christ. 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) In John Chapter 12, verse 49, we read this For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. How many times have you just read right over this verse? Can you see what the Lord Jesus is saying? First, He was not there to declare Himself, but the Father which sent me. He spoke of a pre-existence BEFORE He came into the world. God the Father, BEFORE Christ came into the world, GAVE Him a commandment on the very words that He would use, and what He should say and speak, therefore, showing this was predetermined BEFORE the Lord Jesus came into the world. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 12: 50 informs that His commandment is life ever lasting, thus, reaffirming that what God the Father had said unto Him, those were the very words that He spoke to man.
  It was this predetermined Body that was completely prepared BEFORE Christ came into the world to complete and fulfill the determinate counsels of God. The very beginning of God revealing Himself is only to fulfill and bring to pass the determinate counsels of God. All would be seen in the one manifest image of God, the Body prepared for Him to take away sin, and to defeat death, and the works of the devil. Which will include Satan’s one world order, the Beast is only the representation of Satan, the god of this world. Whereas, God’s order is His King, the Lord Jesus Christ, upon His holy hill as Lord of lords, and King of kings.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. (1st Timothy 6:11)
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (1st Timothy 6:12)
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;Â (1st Timothy 6:13)
That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:Â (1st Timothy 6:14)
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; (1st Timothy 6:15)
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (1st Timothy 6:16)
  The day will come when all will be fulfilled and Christ will show Himself that He is the ONLY King of kings, and Lord of lords. He will show this in His TIMES. The word is plural and measures all that He has done for man from the beginning of time to the fulness of time to the end of time when time will be no longer. Time ends when all the determinate counsels of God are finished. Christ will show Himself as the ONLY Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords. No one else in the history of the world could ever have these collective titles authorized by heaven itself. All power has been given to the Lord Jesus in both heaven and in earth and through this power, the Lord Jesus will subdue all things unto Himself. Make no mistake, the millennial reign of Christ is the last great test for mankind (Adam) under a righteous ruler, for the Man from heaven is NOT of Adam. During the course of that time, man will be judged daily from that throne on the holy hill of Zion and when that thousand year is complete, after all the blessings that God’s kingdom has given to the peoples of the world, Satan will be loosed out of the pit to show the complete despotic character of man in Adam. Under Satan’s leadership, the nations of the world will once again rebel against their blessings, and against the God who sits upon His throne in Jerusalem.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (Revelation 20:7)
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (Revelation 20:8)
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. (Revelation 20:9)
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10)
  This is the last battle of Satan against God using mankind and man’s enmity and hatred for God to try to overthrow the Almighty. This is the finality of the first battle, the WAR that began in heaven, that started BEFORE time when Lucifer rebelled with his angels. NOW comes The END, and this LAST BATTLE is to destroy the throne of God on earth. The judgment is set. I want you to notice, that this judgment comes from heaven, and not from the earth: it is totally supernatural and not man made. God rains fire down on Gog and Magog, and the nations from the four corners of the earth. They are brazen under the leadership of Satan that they encircle the city of the great King and fire descends from God out of heaven as Lucifer gloatingly prepares to issue his final order against God’s throne. The fire consumes ALL who rebelled against God.
  From that point in prophecy, we journey to the great white throne judgment where the end of all rebellion is judged: from the WAR that began in heaven, from the battle at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, from the rebellion of the whole world in Genesis 6, from the great kingdoms of men where all the nations of the world are consumed as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plains and from this point Satan is grabbed by the back of his neck and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. He joins the Beast and the false prophet (who had previously been cast in alive). This is their final residence throughout all eternity where all three will be tormented forever and ever.
—– ♦ —–
Wherefore when he cometh into the world
A Divine Body Prepared
  The eternal lake of fire is the FINAL place of torment for ALL those who have rebelled against God and REFUSED God’s Christ. God speared nothing to redeem man. He GAVE His only begotten Son: the Son who had created the worlds and created man, the very instruments who would crucify His beloved Son. This is why hell itself is given up, and all those cast into the lake of fire. This is why there is a second death, and the second death is because of their REJECTION of God and His Christ. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. (Revelation 20:13) And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. (Revelation 20:14)
  We see the second death for all those who rebelled against God and His Christ. There was a divine Body PREPARED for THEM and they refused it, but DENIED God and His Christ. The Body of Christ was PREPARED for a sacrificial purpose: to take away sin, to remove death, and to reconcile the world unto God. Christ came in that divine Body with the power of an endless life which cannot be denied. In that endless life He submitted Himself to death, and THEN out of the darkness of death took His life again. The power of His endless life never diminished. The death of His flesh was not the death of His Spirit. We are told that Christ was RAISED by the eternal Spirit, and this is the Spirit of life that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
  Think of this Body that was prepared for Him: God in ALL His wisdom, in ALL His knowledge KNEW what it would take to reconcile man unto Himself. As He prepared that Body to be the sacrifice for sin, He also prepared that Body to be the sacrifice of life, and we are told in scripture that through the miracle of our new birth that we have put on Christ which was that Body that was prepared for Him. We enter into death through Him, and we receive eternal life because of Him. The Body that was prepared of God WAS and IS the righteousness of God which cannot be equaled in any other. The Body that was prepared for Him WAS and IS all the wisdom of God in all knowledge and understanding from the beginning to the end. The Body that was prepared for Him was to make Him the great Sanctifier, for no one else can separate us from the ungodliness of the world, and from ungodly man. He set us apart in His death and raised us again in the Spirit of His life. In the Body that was prepared for Him He was the manifest image of God and brought the glory of God down to man. 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)
  Those who are born of the Spirit of God within their hearts, that image, that glory shines eternally and NO power in heaven or earth can remove the face of that glory that God has given us in the Spirit of His Son. The Body that was prepared for Him would be the ONLY Body, the unique Body, NOT of Adam, but of a holy God. He alone can redeem man unto Himself. He alone, in that Body, could pick the time, the hour, and the day of His own death upon the cross of Calvary for the dreadful sin of mankind. He perfected Himself as the tree of life upon the cross of Calvary to remove the effects of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the sin that came into the world through that knowledge. He endured the cross, despising the shame so that he could impart life to as many as receive Him. And in that Body that was prepared for Him, He is forever sat down with God in His throne. All the sacrifices of the Old Testament, all the letting of blood could NOT take away sin. In the days of Josiah, the king of Judah, the last good king, he held the greatest Passover of all the kings of Israel. Even the Passover of Solomon could not compare to Josiah’s. God had moved the spirit of Josiah, not only over this king, but ALL the princes of Judah and the people of Jerusalem. Thousands of animals were brought to Jerusalem for sacrifice; yet, these sacrifices and all the blood could NOT take away sin. Under the Law all these things were only a reflection, a divine shadow of the true image and the true blood of the divine sacrifice from heaven above, that would be ONCE offered to take away sin FOREVER in the express image and glory of God; in the fullness of the manifest image of God, the fullness of the Godhead BODILY in the Body prepared BEFORE time.
  For in the fullness of time, He came into the world, as a holy seed, a holy thing that was not of the dust of Adam. The Holy Ghost from above placed that holy seed, that holy thing from heaven into the womb of Mary, and in her womb, that holy seed would be overshadowed by the highest Himself to bring about a divine conception and then, the Spirit of God would hover over that ONE within the womb and protect Him from all harm until He would be revealed to mankind in His birth.
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: (Hebrews 10:5)
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. (Galatians 3:16)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1st Timothy 3:16)
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)
  If we would just open our eyes and our hearts to the Spirit of God and allow Him to put His divine light on the words before us in the written Word of God, then we would see the details that God gives us concerning this Body that was prepared BY Him and FOR Him.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
The One Mediator Between God and Man
  We live in the last days of Church history, and since the crucifixion of Christ the devil and man have continually rebuilt the middle wall of partition to separate man from God’s Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us. (Ephesians 2:14) It is the WORLD CHURCH NOT the true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ that has reconstructed this middle wall of partition that separates man from God. They have built it back, brick by brick by the traditions of man and the rudiments of the world. The veil that once was divided by God by the sacrifice of His beloved Son has been woven back together by man to keep perishing souls from the presence of God. As the veil of old separated the Law from grace, so now, the world, the flesh, and the devil have built a wall and hung a veil over the precious sacrifice of the Body that was prepared for THEM so that they might be redeemed.
  Many times, you have seen the Christ of God represented as STILL hanging on the cross. This is truly an abomination to God for Christ is NOT on the cross. He has SAT down on the right hand of God. And why is He there? He is there to show, in the presence of His Father, that it was HE who broke down the middle wall of partition. It was HE who removed the Law through the rent veil that man may enter in through the one Mediator between God and man: Jesus Christ. The new or revised middle wall of partition and the new fabric of the veil has been built by the traditions of men, and the veil the rudiments of the world.
  The world has fabricated a false body: one that THEY have prepared, and they call it ‘the church.’ And what have they done? They have replaced the GodMan, Jesus Christ, with this middle wall of partition. It is not the holy Cherubims keeping man out of the paradise of God, but man himself is replacing the One Mediator between God and man. Whether it is a priest, or a minister, or a preacher, there is NO power IN them to take away sin or be a mediator between God and man. Even the few upon this earth who have a pure heart for God and Jesus Christ came into this world with the body of Adam, the body of sin, the body of death. I cannot express this truth enough that a man MUST BE BORN OF GOD to enter in and to dwell in the kingdom of God in Jesus Christ.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:Â (John 1:12) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13)
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3:6)
  In John 1 we have the witness of the Holy Spirit of God that removes the blood, removes the flesh, removes man and gives us the finality that those who are born AGAIN must be born of God. In the gospel of John, Chapter 3, we have the witness of Christ Himself not only in His own personal work that He would be lifted up and that it would be He who would draw all men unto Himself, but He specified the work of the Holy Spirit by emphasizing Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. That it is IMPOSSIBLE for a man in Adam and through Adam to enter into the kingdom of God. The dust of old MUST be reborn and recreated by the supernatural work of the Spirit of God. Notice how the Lord spoke to Nicodemus, He emphasized the word ‘EXCEPT.’   Twice, in these verses, He exclaimed the only way to be a partaker of the kingdom of God has to come through the Spirit of God and not by the spirit of man. The Lord Jesus, the Lord of glory, is the only way to paradise. He has opened the door because He is the Living Door which is confirmed in John Chapter 10.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
The LIVING WORD of God
  In the determinate counsels of God there is that which is from the beginning and in that beginning was the Word of God. All things flowed from His eternal lips for the very creation that would surround Him was spoken into existence BY Him as the Living Word of God. Jesus Christ. In order to be born again we have to come from the same Creator God, Jesus Christ which is confirmed in John Chapter 1: 12 and 13. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12) Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13) The Spirit of God established the word of God and every word in the Bible is linked to the thoughts, and to the wisdom and knowledge of God.
  Don’t listen to the lies of ignorant men and deceitful liars, the word of God has life within itself and the very words on the pages has led the eternal God to overcome sin and death for us. Man loves to insert his own thoughts into the word of God. He will go to great lengths to undermine the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God was given by the Lord Jesus to lead us into all truth. The Spirit of God established the word of God and every word in the Bible is linked to the thoughts, and to the wisdom and knowledge of God. So, when anyone removes words from the Bible and inserts their own thoughts, it is through the deception of Satan that they do this. In John Chapter 1, verse 12, the word ‘sons‘ is very important for the word ‘sons‘ establishes the supernatural birth in verse 13. John establishes this further through the Spirit of God in his first epistle Chapter 3, verses 1 thru 3.
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. (1st John 3:1) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1st John 3:2) And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. (1st John 3:3)
  Our sonship is based on the love of the Father through the Son of His love, the Lord Jesus Christ. We also have the witness of the Spirit of God in Galatians 4: 6 and 7. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (Galatians 4:6) Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:7) It is God the Father who sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts that WE as born-again ones can be called the sons of God. We die with Christ on the cross, we are raised with Him in His endless life of resurrection, and we are sat down with Christ with God in heaven. We have been removed from the earth to be the children of God in heaven, and then through the supernatural work of God He makes US the sent ones into the world. We are returned to be witnesses of Christ of His great love for us and for all those who call on His name.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2nd Corinthians 5:17)
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;Â (2nd Corinthians 5:18)
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (2nd Corinthians 5:19)
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. (2nd Corinthians 5:20)
  An ambassador is a ‘sent one,’ to represent his king and his country. We are neither here to represent the world, nor to change the world into a moral paradise for this is impossible. The world has given itself over to all the works of Lucifer and their own sin. We, the children of God, represent heaven and the Man at God’s right hand: the Lord Jesus Christ. We come with the living authority of the Spirit of Christ within our hearts, and this cannot be broken. We have died with Christ, and the world cannot give us life. We have been risen with Christ for He has given us NEW life and we are sat down with Christ in the presence of God. This is unbreakable and cannot be changed by any power on earth or in heaven for God has sworn by Himself of His redemption of our souls that He will never leave us not forsake us; therefore, we come with the power of God to minister the word of reconciliation. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2nd Corinthians 5:21)
  The divine Body that was prepared for Him, the image of the invisible God, was not a son of Adam, but the fullness of the Godhead bodily in God’s beloved Son. He was set apart from BEFORE the creation. He was to enact and to BE 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) He was to be and IS the beginning of the Word of God by His Word He ignited the power of creation and laid the foundations of the earth.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) The same was in the beginning with God. (John 1:2) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:3) In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)
  When man communicates by the words that he speaks, there is no tangible article that comes directly from his words, however, with Christ, His words form tangible articles in His creatorial power. He spoke and those words became tangible articles: the heavens and the earth. 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) Through the Spirit of God we understand that not only our new birth, but our life is due to the Living Word of God. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (1st Peter 1:23) The words that Moses wrote were the living words from the lips of the Living God. All through scripture we have the heartbeat, the soul, the breath, and the Spirit of the Living God to communicate WITH US the very words out of His mouth to give us life in Himself. If you have any doubt about the authority of the word of God and that it continually LIVES and IS eternal, read just the book of the gospel of John and with a seeking heart you will find the Living Word of God IN Jesus Christ. But the word of God is not only living, but it continues to live and upholds every molecule, ever vapor, every gleaming light in the heaven above, and it is the word of God that becomes by its very life the WORD OF HIS POWER to uphold that which He has made. 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) A belief in the traditions of men cannot believe that the word of God LIVES and ABIDES forever. The traditions of men cannot believe that the word of God has the power to enter into man, and examine man, and separates the parts of man to convict man and to bring man to life in Jesus Christ.
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)
  In the beginning of the Church, men of reprobate minds came in to raise their own standing before men and to create a following for themselves although they used the name of God. And because these men were of reprobate minds, their master, Lucifer, attacked the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. When they related Christ’s conception and birth, they diligently labored to remove the supernatural and to unite the Lord Jesus WITH Adam, which is impossible. They denied His deity in His youth although He was filled will ALL wisdom and knowledge for in reality, He was and is wisdom. In His maturity, they denied His Sonship and the power that He had over all men and over the creation. Only deity could move and act as this MAN, this MAN from heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ acted. At every stage of His life on earth, this divine MAN from heaven was rejected by man. He received opposition to the holy words that He spoke, and all worked against the fact that HE WAS AND IS the Son of God come down from heaven to redeem man. There is no one who had such perfection. There is no one who had such holiness. There’s no one who could fulfill all righteousness. There was no one who could embody the FULL Godhead in the image of the invisible God but Jesus Christ. Through the centuries, even through millenniums, the world has attacked the Lord Jesus, not only His deity, but His creatorial power. Even when they were crucifying the Lord of glory, the ambassadors of Satan walked by and mocked Him, If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. (Matthew 27:40)
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. (Luke 23:35) And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, (Luke 23:36) And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. (Luke 23:37)
  Now let us look deeper into the enmity of man, and the hatred of man for the divine Body that was prepared to be the divine sacrifice. Man does not understand his own enmity because the very sin within him blinds him to his inner hatred for God. It is so deeply imbedded that only a divine miracle of the new birth can remove man’s hate. By the sacrifice of Himself Christ created one new man IN His resurrection. And this new Man entered into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God with all authority and power in both heaven and earth. God has given Him a place which is 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) When the Jews brought their King (Christ) to Pilate, there was a huge throng, it was so great that Pilate himself surrendered to them because of his fear of the Jews. It was at the time of Passover, and Jews from every nation had made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to keep the Passover.
  This was THE TIME, God’s time, to show the men of the world how wicked they are. But it is also God’s TIME to fulfill His determinate counsels and to deliver His own Son to be the sacrifice for sin. When they brought their King to Pilate, they were virtually bringing Him before the Court of Caesar, for Pilate was Caesar’s judge, and he wielded the authority of Rome. Do you see what God was doing at THAT time? He had brought the whole world together to be witnesses of their own wickedness and murderous hearts. The Jews denied their King, and in the same breath they accepted a king called Caesar through their words, We have no king but Caesar. But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. (John 19:15) But this is not all. They were so full of satanic hatred for the Son of God that they also cried out to be cursed of God in the words, Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Matthew 27:25) The proof of these words has been seen and experienced in every century since they were first spoken by the Jews. They alone were not the only ones destroyed in 70 A.D., but all generations afterward have been vagabonds upon the earth. Every generation has experienced the battle for mere existence over the atrocities of mankind and the enmity of man’s leader, Lucifer. The blood that Christ shed upon the cross has touched EVERY Jew since they first uttered those words before Pilate . . . . His blood be on us, and on our children.
  Remember that the population of Jerusalem was much larger at that time because of Passover. There were many witnesses to the injustice and the hatred for the Son of God. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Matthew 27:25) Think of these words echoing through the centuries. In all reverence and holiness to God man should NEVER try or attempt to tempt the Living God. He has held the Jew to the very words that they spoke that day that the blood of Christ would be upon them and upon their future generations . . . their children would be stained by the blood of Calvary.
  In the very presence of Christ upon the cross, they mocked His Sonship as the Son of God, in fact, even today, there are cults that falsely say that ‘Jesus never said that He was the Son of God.’ This is pure blindness of the word of God, and it is evidence of their own death in Adam. The witness of the Jews, would that be enough, how many stood at this great attraction, the crucifixion of God’s dear Son? How many mocked and yelled in blasphemy against God’s Christ? Was there a thousand there, or two thousand, or more? This thing was not done in a corner. The priests were there, the Pharisees and Sadducees, the rulers of the Jews, the Levites and the scribes and the people mocked Him. Jews from all nations had come to keep the Passover at Jerusalem and they were all aware of this unjust travesty. Simon the Syrian, was one of them who had come for the Passover. And we cannot forget the Roman solders, I am sure that Pilate had under his command a legion to maintain the peace of Jerusalem at that crucial time of Passover. They too, according to the Holy Spirit mocked the holy one of Israel, the only true 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) 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)
  Let us return to the Jews at the cross, in their disdain for the Son of God, said that Jesus Christ had proclaimed that He was the Son of God. This is recorded by the Spirit of God, the One who leads us into all truth in Matthew 27:41 – 43. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, (Matthew 27:41) He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. (Matthew 27:42) He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. (Matthew 27:43)
  ALL these Jews at the Lord’s crucifixion witnessed that they heard from his lips that He said that He was and is the Son of God . . . Oh, the blindness of the heart of man. We all see that the Jews were blind to the truth, but what is the excuse for those in the world today in all their religion and church attendance throughout the whole world, do men really place the Son of God with all authority in heaven and earth, do they see all the divine attributes of Christ? They have created a Jesus of vapor with NO power and not able to save or keep what He has committed unto God. The Jews ALL KNEW that Christ had declared His Sonship to the Father. But man has been blind for a long time. Christ proclaimed Himself in the book of Genesis, in the book of Exodus, and throughout ALL the writings of Moses through the cloud that followed them by day, and by the fire at night. He gave them streams of living water as the Rock that followed them.
  How much more today when we read John Chapter 4, do we see this mighty Rock following us and filling the children of God with Living water from the very throne of God. John Chapter 4 opens the Living water to both Jew and Gentile. He came to Jacob’s well on the parcel of land that Jacob gave to Joseph for an inheritance. And as we see the life of Joseph in the land of Egypt, the great famine was ready to destroy the complete sustenance of the world and there was one man, Joseph by name, who preserved life and gave life to the perishing. He was a tangible savior to the material world at that time in history as a shadow of a greater Savior who would be born in Bethlehem, the Lord Jesus Christ. In the gospel of John, the Spirit of God broke the silence with the Living word of God, the Creator of all things, and as the Life and Light of man He revealed Himself as the great Savior, the sacrificial Lamb, who would be given for mankind and for the sin of the whole world.
  He presented His body that was prepared for Him as the Living waters of life springing up WITHIN man to give man eternal life. He presented the Body that was prepared for Him as manna from heaven that fell upon the children of Israel each and every day of their wilderness journey to remind us of His faithfulness, and His care over the divine flock of God. He presented Himself as the great and noble Shepherd caring for each and every sheep, the lambs of His choosing, the lambs of His redemption, the lambs of His Body. Through the scriptures the Holy Spirit opened to us a panorama of God’s glorious Son and revealed all the facets of the preciousness of that Body that was prepared for Him. We are showered, as the children of God, with the blessing of His Spirit from the throne in heaven. In all of this there has been a witness to the world since that Body was revealed. We have the complexity of the Godhead in ONE divine image, the manifestation of God in Jesus Christ.

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
The King of Israel
The King of Nations
The King Over All the Earth
The King Eternal
  When asked by Pilate if He, the Lord Jesus, were a King, the Lord Jesus replied and witnessed to Pilate concerning the Body that stood before him. He said to Pilate, For this end was He born, and for this cause came He into the world. 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)
  When the Spirit of God opens our eyes we can see His intent and the things of the mind of Christ. He came into the world to be their King, He was sent forth as the Christ of God, the anointed One from heaven. He came into the world to be the King of the Jews; however, He takes us much further when He proclaimed, To this end was I born. This takes us from the cross to the millennial kingdom when He will sit upon His throne of righteousness as both King and Priest of the most high God. The Body that was prepared for Him was to be the sacrifice for sin. The Body that was prepared for Him was to be the Lord of lords, and King of kings. The Body that was prepared for Him was to be the image of that Great Throne Sitter in heaven. For THIS END was He born, which He made in the declaration on the cross of Calvary, when He said, It is finished. He was the sacrifice for sin, and shed His precious blood which is far better than all the blood of bulls and goats of the past. Through the eternal Spirit He offered Himself and shed His blood for the redemption of man. He was taken from prison by the Roman garrison, who also mocked Him as the King of the Jews.
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. (Matthew 27:27) And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. (Matthew 27:28) And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! (Matthew 27:29) And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. (Matthew 27:30) And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. (Matthew 27:31)
  Nothing escapes the eyes of the Lord, He beheld all those who mocked, and He made sure that His Spirit recorded all in the word of God. Not only do the eyes of the Lord go to and fro throughout the whole earth, but His eyes discern the intent of the heart of man. He recorded all those who mocked in the eyes of God’s judgment for these Roman soldiers would not escape their judgment unless they repent and call on the name of the Lord.
  Think of all the declarations that the Spirit of God made of that Body that was prepared for Him: Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus the Christ of God, Jesus the King of kings, Jesus the Lord of lords, Jesus the Savior of man, and Jesus the righteous. On the cross of Calvary, the GodMan who was born to be King of the Jews faced the cause, the end, for it was THEN that all would be fulfilled and for this cause He came into the world; and for this end was He born, He fulfilled His divine life on earth at the place of the skull, a specifically marked place on earth that was the symbol of death.
  There, at the fulfillment of His hour, all the time of humanity would be drawn together before Him, the past, the present, and the future in the FULLNESS of all time. The most important time in ALL of the creation was THAT TIME when the Creator gave Himself for His own creation. All TIME was surrounded in the fulfillment of His ONE hour. The most important words ever spoken to the sons of Adam came from the lips of the divine Man from heaven. He gathered in the words of His power the past, present and future in the words, It is finished. In these words, He sanctified all the children of faith from Abel to ‘there should be time no longer.’ (Revelation 10)

Wherefore when he cometh into the world
Making a New Man Conformed to His Image
  We, of this day, who are of the children of God, are sanctified by that same Body that was prepared for Him, and in God’s determinate counsels THAT Body was prepared for US as well. We are drawn into that sacrificial Body and His shed blood by His eternal Spirit which He commended unto the Father when He bowed His head and gave up the Ghost. He entered into the land of death so that He could guide the children of faith through the valley of the shadow of death where He has removed all evil for us in His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. When He entered into the land of death, He descended and preached to the spirits in prison so that all would know that God is the Just One and the Justifier of man. He overcame death to give life, He laid down His life that He might take it again. (John 10)
  He revealed the wonder of His deity in destroying the power of death and taking sin out of the world. Not only did He declare that He had the power to take His own life out of the very grip of death, but He fulfilled the words in John Chapter 10, on the third day as He had promised. From the very first promises of God in scripture to all the fulfillment at the very end of scripture, there is not one contradiction, there is not one blemish, there is not one promise that God has not performed and will not yet complete. The Lord Jesus, on the cross of Calvary, fulfilled a multitude of prophetic writings and promises of God, so WE can gather strength in our faith to KNOW that ALL that He promised He will fulfill.
 The third day is also called the first day of the week and it is also referred to as the eighth day in the book of Leviticus, the first, the third and the eighth are all one and the SAME DAY. In Leviticus, we have many ‘firsts’ in the eighth day or ‘eight days.’ We see the preparation for sacrifice where the calf could not be separated from the dam until it was eight days old. The command of circumcision to Abraham was to be fulfilled on the eighth day. Now the day of resurrection, that morning was the end of the third day, and the beginning of the first day, and it was also the eighth day as well. Both the first day and the eighth day speak of a new beginning. On the first day, God brought forth Light into the world. On the first day, Christ came out of the darkness of the tomb, and revealed Himself alive forever more. Of twain, He made one new Man, in the Body that was prepared for Him. This glorious Man of resurrection took of twain and 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) He abolished both sin and death by the Body that was nailed to the cross that was PREPARED to take away sin and to destroy both death and the works of the devil, and to erase the enmity that began in heaven with Lucifer. (Ezekiel 28) When iniquity was found in Lucifer, it was the seed of the WAR that began in heaven and would later be won on the cross of Calvary when Christ took the Body that was prepared for Him into the death of the cross. From there to resurrection morning, He took of twain and made ONE NEW MAN out of the Body of death; He made peace with God. (The first day speaks of a new beginning in God, a new order as a resurrected Man. The eighth day is a new beginning for US as new born babes in Christ.) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24) Now we behold the man created in Christ for the Lord was the first born from the dead, and He will bring many sons with Him. We pass into death IN Jesus Christ to be born of His Spirit the Spirit of Life which is IN Christ Jesus has set me 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) In Colossians 3:10, we are to put on the new man. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. This new man is renewed, for behold all things become new. (In the first day of our salvation, we enter INTO the first day of the week: on God’s part He has done all for us, and then we have that eighth day of fulfillment where we put on the new man in our faith in Jesus Christ.) This becomes a repetition by the Spirit of God through our walk on earth, He constantly reminds us in our heart, soul and spirit, that we are a NEW MAN in Jesus Christ. Colossians 3:10 takes us back to paradise in Christ Jesus, for He has renewed our knowledge after the image of Him who created us. We are transformed from death to life in Christ Jesus and will be conformed to the VERY IMAGE of our Lord, for we will be like Him. He took of twain and made one new man; that resurrected Body ascended into heaven and is sat down at the right hand of God. This is the MAN of God’s own choosing, this is the MAN, Jesus Christ, surrounded by the Body that was prepared for Him and is sat down at the right hand of God. Wherefore when he cometh into the world. Amen and Amen.
