IN HIS LIKENESS

 

We see a type and shadow of the way it will be when the sons of God are manifest by looking at the Biblical account of the resurrection of the Son of God. When he came forth from the tomb he had laid down his natural humanity, the humanity Adam had before the fall and was the manifested Son of God. He in effect is the pattern Son. "And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven." 1 Cor. 15:49 NIV

We are told here that we are to bear his likeness so let us look at YahShua after his resurrection to see the pattern of how things will be when the sons of God are manifest.

First we must discuss how we will appear and what we will be like. To find our answer we must look at the pattern. YahShua after his resurrection had a flesh body when he desired it and went back to spirit as he desired. Time, space or obstacles did not restrict him. He traveled by word of thought. When he wanted to be someplace he was just there. "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

John 3:8 NIV Notice this method of travel is not ascribed to just YahShua, but to everyone that is born of the Spirit. He just appeared in the locked room where the disciples were hiding. He appeared in some sort of flesh as is attested to by Thomas’ unbelief. He could also change his appearance to suit any situation as we see from his appearing to the two on the road to Emmaus. These are characteristics of those born of the spirit.

 

Resurrection

"So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit." 1 Cor. 15-42-45 KJV

These scriptures are dealing with those who are resurrected, but we read in the scriptures that we will not all sleep(die) but we will all be changed.

"Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" 1 Cor. 15:51-55 NIV

So we see from these scriptures that this change is in effect a resurrection. A coming forth from the tomb of this earth(flesh) just as the pattern son YahShua. This is the hope of the church(believers)and all of creation is in travail for it. Rom. 8:15-25

Our credentials are written in the scriptures. "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." John 3:6 NIV "For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." Romans 8:15 NIV "And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead." Rom. 1:4 NIV

"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Matthew 12:40 NIV We, as mankind, are living in the early part of the third day from when YahShua came. "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Peter 3:8 It is nearly dawn for the Day Star has risen, the night watch is over and we are soon to follow in the pattern he has established for us. "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." Psalms 90:4 NIV

The Magdalene Syndrome

"Now when YahShua was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils." Mark 16:9 KJV

On the day of YahShuas resurrection we find that the first person he appears to is Mary Magdalene. She had seven devils or spirits cast out of her. The church was to be the people of the anointing(Messiah) and there was found seven religious spirits in her. Seven is the numerical value meaning "completeness" and should not be taken as a literal number. We should see here a completely religious church.

It was the Eve-Serpent thing all over again just as Paul feared would happen. God’s people fell from being spiritual to being religious, just as Eve. "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. 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." Rev 13:16 The ministries of God then partook of her sins and fell, also, into high treason just as Adam. The people were in the religious system and the ministry had to take the mark to get acceptance and to have an audience for their ministries, which they stifled and soon polluted.

"If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." Rev. 13:18 NIV Mans number is six. You can line up as many sixes as you like but they will never become a seven, God’s number. So, three sixes was used to depict this beast. The numerical value of "three" means perfection, perfectly man. This is the religious nature of man that tries to ascend up into heaven and to make his throne above the stars of God. That is, the attempt of man to make himself perfect(#3) by rituals, formulas and religious acts thereby frustrating the grace of God. They have replaced the anointing with emotionalism, the spirit of God for the Spirit of religion and the truth with lies.

"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, I will return to the house I left." When a people are purged and cleansed by the blood of the lamb they are clean, swept of all impurities and put into the order of God, but this is an incomplete state. "When it(the evil spirit) arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order." It is not enough to be emptied of sin, but we must fill the void with holiness and spirituality. If we do not develop a relationship with YahShua and God we are as empty vessels. "Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first." That is how it is with this wicked religious Harlot generation. Mat. 12:43-45 NIV

When the early church(ekklesia) was brought into being it was as pure as a virgin. However, shortly the religious spirit began to creep back in. The deadly wound YahShua inflicted on religious Judaism was healed and came forth as the religious church. Rev. 13:3 The state of the religious church is seven times worse than when the first devil(sin) that was cast out. Now, it is not the sin of the flesh that is controlling her but a religious spirit seven times worse that the first state of sin.

 

 

The True and False

The people of the anointing(Messiah) was in the Babylon Harlot Religious System when they heard the voice of the bridegroom calling them out. This is depicted in scripture as the five wise virgins. They left her mother’s house and went out to meet Him. Out in the wilderness of preparation she was completely cleansed and made a virgin.

I am told that in the physical body if a woman does not have sex for seven years the virginal membrane grows back and in effect she has become a virgin.

Mary Magdalene represents the people of Messiah. Mary was possessed of seven spirits and YahShua had mercy on her and cast them out. Then she became a disciple of the Lord and followed him, as the twelve, and was kept by YahShua.

The Word testifies of these virgins. "And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev. 7:13-14 KJV

Now bare with me here. She had washed her robe and made it white in the blood of the lamb and had overcome her shame of religious whoredom by submitting to the cleansing power of the blood and making her robe white by reason of purifying her self with water, the water of the Word.

In the early seventies the voice of the Lord began to call a people unto himself out from organized religion to meet with him alone, to purge and cleanse the religious spirits out of them. It is not enough to come out of a thing, but the thing must come out of them. It was at this time that the Babylon Harlot Religious System began to take full authority in the visible church and, as Israel of old, the people were brought into captivity to its doctrines and into spiritual bondage to her. This was the beginning of the great tribulation period.

Mary stood before YahShua on the day of resurrection and he commissioned her to go tell the good news that he was alive and would go before them. The called out ones or church(ekklesia) in the coming age will be sent to tell the world of the resurrection or manifestation of the sons of God.

 

The Sons

While the called out people of God is doing this, the sons are found walking with two witnesses of modern church order, opening the scriptures to them. "Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem." Luke 24:13 Notice the number of miles these men were away from Jerusalem. Seven, as discussed earlier, means "complete". There must be a complete distance put between you and religious Jerusalem before the words of truth will burn in your heart.

"As they talked and discussed these things with each other, YahShua himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him." Luke 24:15-16 NIV Just as YahShua appeared to the two men and walked along so the sons of God has walked with those who were called out of religious denominations but their true identity as sons of God has been hid.

"He(YahShua) asked them, What are you discussing together as you walk along? They stood still, their faces downcast." Luke 24:17 These men have become dismayed by the events taking place in the Religious Church realm. "The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel." Luke 14:20 NIV

They are sadden in heart as they have watched the religious leaders and Elders crucifying our Lord and Savior all over again. They make the resurrection of the spirit of non-effect to those who hope in it.

"One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days?" Luke 24:18

The called out one still struggling to understand what has happened will look at the sons and ask, "Are you a stranger to the religious system and not aquatinted with the things happening there?" Having been called out of the religious Harlot is sometimes hard to understand. Sometimes we forget just how much of a grip the religious spirit has on God’s people and how deceived people in there really are.

"And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place." Luke 14:21 NIV We are entering the third day or the third millenium since YahShua rose from the tomb. It is time for body salvation, resurrection from this body of clay for the other sons of God.

 

"They went to the tomb early this morning but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive." When we come forth in his likeness then the body of death will not be found only a vision of the angelic or heavenly being we have become. This is our testimony of the fact that YahShua lives and has brought into full display the work he accomplished on the cross.

You will not find people of the anointing(Messiah) in the tomb of dead religious orders. They have come out to look upon it and are now the witness that the resurrection has taken place. They have seen a vision of sonship. Hear the words of YahShua speaking in this day as well. "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!" Luke 24:19-25 The Holy Spirit will show you the truth and you will partake of the blessing of the manifestation of the sons of God. Rom. 8:15-25

"As they approached the village to which they were going, YahShua acted as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight." Luke 24:28-31 If any called out one will invite the sons of God to enter where they live, God will then open their eyes and they will clearly see sonship and their hearts will burn with this truth. Luke 14: 32

"They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem… They found the eleven and those with them, assembled together." Luke 24:33 – 35 They too will go back and find the disciples there. Disciples means, "followers". Many of the Lord’s followers are locked away in the upper room of religion. The follow from a distance because of the walls they have locked themselves in. These called out one will go and tell of the manifestation of the sons of God just as John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lord. "While they were still talking about this, YahShua himself stood among them…" Luke 24:36-45 The sons will be manifest before them and they will see God’s glory upon them. Then they will all eat at the same table and God will become all in all. They will as YahShua did, declare that this is what was spoken by the prophets and in the psalms. The revelation knowledge will begin to flow once again and their minds will be open to receive the truth of the scriptures about the full work of the cross of YahShua. Rom. 8:15-25

 

Bread and Fish

"…They saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. YahShua said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. YahShua came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time YahShua appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead." John 21: 9-14 NIV

The Lord is calling any that will be willing to come out and eat the bread(of heaven) and fish(meat of the Word) that is prepared upon the fire of purging and refining on the banks of the Sea Of Galilee. Galilee means, "the heathen circle"(#1056 Strong’s Greek Dictionary). We must come out of the sea just as the disciples did before we can eat with YahShua on the bank. John 21: 9 We have meat that you know not of prepared especially by YahShua.

 

Appearing To Some

"After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep." 1 Cor. 15:6 NIV YahShua will be revealed to many and the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters(Word of God) cover the sea(People). Then and only then will they see the Son of God ascending into his rightful place in their heaven. Then and only then will Jerusalem no more be tread under the feet of the Gentiles(Religious men) for she will once again belong to the Lord.

 

The Final Mystery

Now here is a mystery. The son was in the called out ones but now birthed out and some are being caught up into heaven while others are still attached to the body by the umbilical cord. When all the sons are birthed the called out ones will then go into the wilderness into the place of protection prepared for her. The type of which we see in the story of Mary and Joseph. (Mat. 1:25) Once you see the separation of the called out ones and the sons then you have begun to be birthed out. Rev. 12 The son will be manifest from the heavens and the called out ones will come forth from their place. As the sons of God are manifests(mortal putting on immortality) from the heavens, the called out ones will come forth in her glorious garment(corruption having put on incorruptibility) from the earth realm.

"There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another." 1 Cor. 15:40

 

The sons from the Hevenlies(immortality) and the called out ones from the earthly(incorruptible) realm will together rule and reign with Messiah for a thousand years in the kingdom Age and usher in the eight day or new beginning of the age of Eternity.

Are you ready? Do you hear the trumpet message going forth this day calling you out of the anointed ones into sonship? Have you had a revelation of the Father heart of God? It is the Fathers good pleasure to bring many sons unto glory. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit says unto the church(ekklesia).
