In this final hour, filled with mass
confusion -
so often with
servants and 'boy preachers' mismanaging the household of faith -
my
spirit rejoices in the knowledge that our Father is bringing His sons of the
Promise into maturity!
Christ Himself taught us that we must
worship our Father not in truth alone, but in Spirit and in
truth. And truly, the letter without the Spirit
kills!
It is written, "Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not
hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a
bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was
born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things
are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount
Sinai, which genders to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount
Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in
bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is
the mother of us all." (Gal. 21-26).
Hear O Israel - just
as our father Abraham had an eldest son by a bondwoman, so our Father YAH
had his first children by a "bondwoman" - children born of 'Sinai' who seek to
please Him through rituals without righteousness. In other words, they
seek favor without faith. Under the Mosaic Covenant Shavu'ot (Pentecost), three thousand died at the
giving of the Law. (Ex.32:28). Death unto death...
And even as our father Abraham then had a younger son by a freewoman,
so our Father YAH later had sons by a "freewoman" - children of 'Zion'
who seek to please Him through the righteousness of faith. Under the
Messianic Covenant Shavu'ot [Pentecost], three thousand were
born at the giving of the Spirit (Acts
2:41). Life unto life...
According to the scriptures, Isaac - the son of the promise - was
mocked by Ishmael, the son of Hagar the bondwoman. And at this hour,
allegorically speaking, the same thing is going on in our Father's House.
His sons born of 'Sinai' are even now in bondage with their mother; mocking and
persecuting those of us who are born of Abba's beloved - our mother "Sarah"; the New Jerusalem!
Same Father, different
'mothers.'
Sélah.
"Nevertheless what says the scripture? Cast
out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be
heir with the son of the freewoman." (Gal. 4:30).
This dividing of
the House has come by the edge of the sword
Christ declared He came to bring (MattitYahu [Matthew] 10:34-42). And surely in this
final hour, He has begun to wield it in righteous judgment - cutting away
the flesh from the Spirit. A
divine division.
Finally, be strong and of good courage, O Yisrael of the Promise. Your
labor of love in the Spirit of the law is not in
vain. Take heart brethren, for the false accusations and evil surmisings of our carnal brethren are soon to be judged...
Fear not,
you mighty sons of New Jerusalem, for the spiritual dimension we worship in is the very abode of our
Father YAH Himself - the secret place of the MOST HIGH!
Shalom Aleichem!
