Keeping a Schedule

Post 324

Have you every wondered why Adam sinned back at the beginning of human history, yet God waited thousands of years, one global cleansing event, and more than one trip into bondage, before He sent the Redeemer to save us from our sin? The scriptures make very clear that Jesus came, and died, on an exact schedule of the Father, whose schedule includes a larger frame of view. Let’s make a quick overview paying specific attention to God’s specific schedule in the beginning parts (i.e. the first 7000 years) of that larger frame:

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so (temporal schedule).
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness (spiritual schedule): and God saw that it was good” Genesis 1:14-18.

I propose that the sun is Christ of the day, the moon (Allah) is Lucifer of the night-- who was created to simply reflects the glory of the Son but has corrupted that reflection for his own pseudo-light purposes (Ezekiel 28:11-15…)--, the stars are the angels of principalities in high places (Judges 5:20, Revelation 1:20, Ephesians 6:12, [+3:9-11; hinting at the later part of the framework we are not here exploring]). This creation began the clock’s calendar of a very specific schedule (Isaiah 46:9-10).

God said: “But in the fourth generation they (God’s Covenant people of promise) shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full” Genesis 15:16.

“In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem” Daniel 9:2.

“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow…” I Peter 1:10-11…

“Seventy weeks are determined… Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks…and after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off…” Daniel 9:24-26…

“Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son” Luke 1:57.

“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come” John 2:4.

“Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come…I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come” John 7:6,8.

“But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them…But now I go my way to him that sent me…” John 16:4,5.

“and it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up (see Daniel 25-26 above), he (Jesus) steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers before his face…” Luke 9:51-52.

“And when he (Jesus) was come near, he beheld the city (Jerusalem), and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes…” Luke 19:41-42…

“Behold, your house is left unto you desolate (*1): and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord” Luke 13:35.

“…O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the sighs of the times?” Matthew 16:3.

“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up” Daniel 8:23.

“O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not” Jeremiah 14:7-9, (not quite the same thing as required in the above Luke 13:35 declaration; they must recognize their Messiah, and will do so when he comes again. They ask “Why?” this is why).

“And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred…” Acts 7:13-14.

“And he (Messiah Jesus) shall send his angels (before him) with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” Matthew 24:31.

…“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: but it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light” Zechariah 14:…6, (the age of moral confusion before the later end in the coming light).

“For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day” Luke 17:24.

“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” I John 1:6-7.

“And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain…” Revelation 16:10…

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 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. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” Matthew 24:29-31.

“For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name…” Isaiah 62:1-2…

“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it…” Revelation 21:23-24.

“Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts…” I Corinthians 4:5.

These are merely a scattering of the many more scriptures that explain God’s Grand Tapestry timeline and reveal that he has a very specific schedule to keep.

Am I confusing you?
What I am finding difficult to work within is the need to use information via intellect to teach you How to think, when you have been raised in a culture that teaches you What to think, using the same tools. If my motive was to feed you raw data for your consumption (John 6:34) I could have made my writing much shorter, which length is what several readers are now complaining about-- and in fact readers have complained from way back where I lost them in my early writings as “interesting but not coming to a point” soon enough. My purpose is not to feed you information for you to store up so that you can be “intellectually smarter than the next guy” regarding the things of God, I am attempting to feed you what you need in the effort to help you learn to think for yourself, via the motive of the Spirit of God that can teach you far more than anything I can feed you-- voluminous as it is (John 21:25).
If you read the above “random” verses and scratch your head asking, “How does he put all these together in this order? Isn’t this mashing context to arrive at the conclusion he wants?” I do no damage to the integrity of scripture, but your lack of understanding is because you only want me to feed you specific linear data that results in a pre-packaged easy answer that you can know without doing any personal work, it’s like using the cheat codes to play a video game for the glory of having won, without doing the rewarding work that the game was made for you to experience. This “free ride” mentality is not how God works (Exodus 31:17), nor is it how God wants you to work (Exodus 23:12). You are no longer children. You are not slaves. Therefore you must stop thinking like slaves and children wanting to be blindly fed and led, yet as adults, expect to be fed what you want to eat and led where you want to go (I Corinthians 13:9-12, Matthew 11:16-19). This new “law-lessness” of God’s self-regulation in liberty is unspeakably liberating in our exploration, but at the same time is unspeakably dangerous because it sounds so much like lawlessness! which by nature we gravitate toward.

History shows that the Law-- which all humanity today, whether; Christians or Jews, Catholics or Muslims, Pagans or Atheists-- is something that is very unique in human history. From Adam to Moses there was no Law, and from Christ to Pseudo-Christ there isn’t either. The Law was given for a very short period of time and its purpose was for the Rehabilitation Program we discovered in The Uncommon Christian Walk section of Posts. Humanity was not created to be on drugs, but once hooked, humanity needed a rehab program. Rehab programs are supposed to be intense and relatively short lived, where the outcome is not a life in rehab but freedom from drugs.
Why did God wait so many thousands of years of lawlessness before sending the Messiah? It’s because the Messiah was sent to deliver us from the law, and the law didn’t come for thousands of years. The messiah delivered us from rehab to live a liberated life with him!
So does that make rehab the enemy from which we need deliverance? Of course not! (Romans 7:12-13), But once the program has run its course it’s time to move from the Sabbath Rest that ends your previous pitiful life, to the new First Day of the rest of your drug-free life where rehab has no purpose.
But now, without the law of rehab to keep you under control, will you return to your former ways? Mystery Babylon -- the whore Jerusalem-- will (*1). This is the danger of liberty; it liberates whatever is in your heart. But this is the greatness of liberty-- it frees your heart to limitless heights! Liberty simply reveals what’s in the heart, (Post 233 “Legalism or Anarchy, or is there something else?” http://when-did-reason-die.blogspot.com/2012/02/legalism-or-anarchy.html).

"Is the whore of Catholicism actually Christianity?" It is, as much as the first-generation Hebrews were the promised people (Numbers 14:20-23) as Typed by Abraham's firstborn child (Genesis 17:20-21).
"So where exactly is the Matthew 8:12 outer darkness?" For those on the proper side of the Jordan it really doesn’t matter. But the outer darkness is in the Jeremiah 25:24-- 6153 mingled people-- 6152=6148=6153 Arab desert country on the wrong side of the Jordan where the light of the Lord does not shine, literally: (Revelation 22:5+14-15, Zechariah 14:17), (*2).
"So, Are they in Hell (Post 247)?"(http://when-did-reason-die.blogspot.com/2012/05/are-they-in-hell.html). If we are defining Hell as the lake of fire, then, No, but it sure isn’t in the kingdom of heaven! I anticipate expounding more on this concept in A Highway For Our God, which delves into both the 7th and the 8th age.

Yes, I have been your Rehab School Master helping you to learn to live a drug free life, and showing you all the things of life that are so much better than an existence in a drugged stupor. But now it’s time for you to go live it not in theory but in reality, and that’s scary for you; “What if…?” Yes, that is a very real concern to guard.
But what’s actually more scary for me is if you come out of rehab, drug-free and powerfully liberated, ready to explore life with vigor, but because of your new power find no need to have a relationship with him who empowered you.

I have been wandering the restricting halls in this rehab program like a Hall Monitor handing out pink slips, and here at the last I have been very hard on you for any relapse desires and illegal substances found on your body, and in my authority I have rebuked you and taken them away. But I won’t be following you around in your life, except in your soul (i.e. mind, will, and emotions; Matthew 22:37,Deuteronomy 6:5), and how you review those interactions will be a result of your spirit (Romans 8:27, Hebrews 8:10, 10:14-17, James 4:7-8): If your spirit loves God then my instruction will be a comfort of support in your times of temptation, but if your spirit resists God my mentoring in your mind will be despised as a tyrant keeping you from what your heart wants. I am in effect the professor teaching you the law, but what I have used the law to do is to teach you how to use your knowledge of the law to advantage in your righteous liberty.
Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came to collect you from rehab, not to wander alone but to be his bride. You are clean now, go be perfect, walk with God:

“Now ye are clean through the word which I (Jesus) have spoken unto you. Abide in me…” John 15:3-4.

“For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God” Hebrews 7:19.

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample” Philippians 3:14-17.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

(*1) Jerusalem is Mystery Babylon?
Regarding this desolation; the ultimate prophetic key to Mystery Babylon is found in Matthew 23:35=Revelation 17:6,18:24. So is Jerusalem Mystery Babylon?
Yes and no.

We get our cipher of interpretation from the same strange descriptions of the Beast. This Pseudo-Christ is called the Assyrian (Isaiah 10:24), the king of Babylon (Isaiah 14:4-10), the king of Egypt (Ezekiel 31), The king of Tyrus (Ezekiel 28:12-19), the king of the North and the king of the South (Daniel 11), and many other seemingly contradictory terms.
This confusion is reconciled when we understand that this Pseudo-Christ singular entity is manifested though history in different ruling men. We are talking about a spirit that occupies different men at different times, who will conclude his activity in the future man we call Anti-Christ (I John 2:18), and in the very next verse (v.19) we learn that "they went out from us,” this makes it very complex.
And so it is with Mystery Babylon. She is fallen America, she is whorish Jerusalem, she is the Christian Catholic Church of Rome, she is Babylon past-- who knew God but then didn’t glorify God (Romans 1:21=Daniel 2:47+3:1), but she will conclude her activity in the future that we call Mystery Babylon (Revelation 17:1-6). God has made extra effort to describe Jerusalem as a whore of the most vile nature; far worse even than the capitol of the northern tribe of God’s people who were a people of the promise but not of the covenant if you will; Samaria (Ezekiel 23:4+11).
The spirit of Jerusalem is Mystery Babylon, the whore bride. This is profound! But divided from that whorish city of God will be the tiny bride redeemed (Ezekiel 5:2-9 focused on vv.3-4) in memory of Numbers 31:23.

(*2) Mingled Arab People:
Post 263 “Seed of Angels” (http://when-did-reason-die.blogspot.com/2012/09/seed-of-angels_2131.html) Preparing The Way Of The Lord pp.205-207,
Post 268 “The Waters of Clay” (http://when-did-reason-die.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-water-of-clay.html) Preparing The Way Of The Lord p. 316,

Understanding that these mingled people are also Abraham’s children mingled physically, and so not of promise, we can comprehend that they are simply the Type of the spiritual mingled people, also Abraham’s children mingled spiritually, and so not of covenant (marriage).
The seed of Abraham has been often “mixed with the wrong woman” to result in the spiritually mingled people bearing God’s name. Having God’s promise of blessing too, because they are his people, these wayward people are extremely powerful in their mingled ways.

These last days mingled people of infectious desolation are the powerful but non-promised seed of God that Satan is looking to mix with to achieve his goals. Mystery Babylon, like Catholicism, will not be distinguishable from God’s true people, by anyone but God’s true people-- who marvel that nobody can see this.
FINALLY, we come to answer the question asked in Post 261 “Fair Daughters” (http://when-did-reason-die.blogspot.com/2012/08/fair-daughters.html) Preparing The Way Of The Lord p. 281, as we discussed “The Days of Noah” (Post 259 http://when-did-reason-die.blogspot.com/2012/08/as-days-of-noah.html) in our attempt to discover the “When” of our Lord’s return;

“Why did the fallen angels find these daughters of men ‘fair’ at this particular point in time; were women not intoxicatingly beautiful before then?”
It’s the power of their young feminine liberation in the heart of a virgin whore, that makes them intoxicating to both men and angels. It’s the knowledge-of-good-and-evil fruit eater now reaching for the fruit from the tree of life (Genesis 3:22). It is in effect, Science and Spirit combined as a new empowerment to previously unreachable heights. It’s a woman who cannot blush (Ezra 9:6 vs. Jeremiah 6:15,8:12), not because she cares nothing for guilt, but rather by declaring that there is no cause to blush since Jesus made that Old “T” law obsolete;

“Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin somemore” John 8:11-- just slightly altered by the “new” gospel of a dirty grace Christ Jesus in “artistic license that stayed surprisingly accurate to the original text for authenticity” (Galatians 1:6-7).

It pretty much sounds like the Days of Noah are back! Which means…(Matthew 24:37).
