The Lord uses earthly things but as metaphors

Which also means, to be able to discern between good and evil, by learning good and evil, (Hebrews 5:14) which is the teaching of the spirit, John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. (Which refers to the Word of God) Also John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

As we can see it is impossible for anyone to bear the truth, unless, the spirit, the revelation of the word, teaches one. We can also read 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good works.

As we can see Paul testifies that all scripture, which includes both Testaments and not just the Old or the New on their own, all scripture must come together, after all Paul never had a copy of the New Testament. He was teaching Christ through Moses and the Prophets through the revelation of the Word of God. As Luke testifies in Acts 26: 22 Having therefore obtained help of God, (revelation) I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things (adding or excluding) than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

Also Acts 28: 23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. (And he was evening and he was morning)

Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 5:17-19. Think not that I am come to abolish the law (Moses –written law) or the Prophets (oral law – faith by hearing –the true meaning of the written law) but I am come to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

(A jot (Yod) or an iota, which are the tenth letters of both the Hebrew and the Hellenic languages (Hellenic biblical Alphabet) and represent a tithe).

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

As we can see, he who does, (walks according to Moses and the Prophets- walks in the laws of God - footman) and also teaches Moses and the Prophets, he shall be called great in the kingdom of God. But he who doesn't he shall be called small, least.

Paul is teaching the small and the great, (1000 –10,000) referring to the increase of the knowledge of the laws of God, the Word of God.

And if we were to understand the word perfectly, we have to break the letter down into many fragments, for instance: where it says; heaven and earth, points to one man, to flesh and spirit, meaning, the outer and inner man and not the planet Earth and the Sky.

This is also, why in Hebrew the name 'Mosheh Rabbino' 'Moses the teacher' has the numerical value of 613, 'he who draws from water'. (Except the Father 'draws' one unto me, John 6:44). And if we were to add the cryptic number of 613, 6+1+3=10, which refer to the ten laws, obviously there are more depths to all these verses that it will amaze.

Which proves that 'Yeshuah' 'Joshua' Jesus' was not a Jew boy with few moral standards and a mere man as such, but the true Messiah 'Christ' and the Lord of glory manifested in flesh. He who walked all the way from the Garden of Eden, 'descending' which is a heavenly place, and not a natural 'orchard' garden, here on Earth.

That is why they were ten lepers, ten virgins, which represent one man, receiving the ten laws, and for the fact that there were five 'foolish' and five 'wise' virgins, it points to one's left hand and five fingers and one's right hand and five fingers. (Foolish and Wise) Proverbs 10:8. The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. Ecclesiastes 10:2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

The left hand represents the carnal side of man and the right hand represents his spiritual side, five without enough oil and five with adequate oil, representing the anointing, and the testimony of Christ.

One man in two parts, flesh and spirit, Heaven and Earth walking together, and from the beginning God created Heaven and Earth, which was prophetic, God creating the perfect man, as an indication for the future to come. This is why Elohim 'God the creator' said: let Him be Light and He was Light.

There are countless instances right through the entire scriptures about the number ten, Jesus made it very clear through His parables. And if we were to look around us today, where everything is becoming 'digital', which points to ten numbers, from zero to nine.

Zero (0) being the negative number, and one (1) being the positive and when put together we get the number ten, 'positive and negative' 'good and bad'. Where on many electrical appliances today we have the zero (0) as an 'off' point and the one (1) as an 'on' point.

The Lord does things but man is not aware of it, he thinks, that things just happen by themselves, without ever realising that behind everything is God working.

Jesus spoke very clearly about the signs of the times, and also signs shall follow the believers, and where everyone was made to believe that the signs represent miracles, the truth of it is that it has nothing to do with miracles whatsoever.

And if we were to take up the part of the scripture, where it says; in Mark 16-17-18. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (Note: if the Devil had the authority to possess one man, he would have had possessed the entire human race)

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Which was added later on and for a good reason)

But let's break this scripture down and into its proper meaning: first of all the casting out of devils has to do with the lies that one man receives, the negative things and thoughts that come to one's mind. He can cast them out through the knowledge of the spirit of the Word.

The new tongues refer to the new wine, new teaching, (a new and living way) pointing yet again to the spirit of the Word, the revelation of the letter, a new tongue or tongues, referring to the three spiritual levels of the Word.

Also, to take up serpents, represents the fiery darts of the devil, and also the power of the law, the serpent being a venomous beast, lies and deception and accusations.

And to drink something deadly also represents the poisoned lies, that will come against the believer, which by having the testimony of Jesus will not harm him. (Learn the Truth and the truth shall set you free)

And the lying of the hands represents the teaching of the law, one being able to teach the true meaning and understanding of the law, to heal any one and to deliver him from all the lies and false doctrines of man. This is why a man was given ten toes on his feet, which mean to walk in the laws of God, and he was also given ten fingers on his hands, meaning to carry out the laws of God and also to teach them.

Quoting: I shall put my laws in your mind and write them in your heart, but also in your mouth, so that you can speak 'teach' them. My word is nigh 'next' to you and in your mouth, the Word of faith that is, the spirit of the Word and not of the letter.

As we can see man has taken the scriptures literally, and his trying to carry out physical ordinances, which do not lead him anywhere, but to confusion and despair, and unto death, especially when the scriptures do not concern him personally, but they concern only the man in the wilderness. The man who chose, voluntarily to receive the laws of God, the law is holy and spiritual. That no carnal man could ever keep or to carry out, because only the righteous man could do that, through the law of faith. Meaning, the one under grace and truth, who is receiving the spirit of the Word, the revelation and true intent of the written law -(Moses) through the oral law, (the Prophets), by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Paul testifies to this in Romans 7:18-25. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil, which I would not, that I do.

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: (the righteous man)

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members. (The carnal man)

O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Romans chapter seven is the classic example, where Paul makes it clear about the two laws and about the two sides of one man.
 

Man deludes himself

There are many people out there who take up serpents physically, thinking that no harm would come to them and many are bitten and die as a result. Which in a way is shear stupidity, on the part of an intelligent being, and this is due to the lack of knowledge of the spirit of the Word and responsibility should lie on the so-called preachers.

Who in reality they know nothing of the Word of God, because they've raised themselves, by taking up the scriptures in vain, and always refer to the letter, with the cliché I have faith, which is shear nonsense, and self delusion.

The false Prophets and teachers

There have been false prophets and false teachers right through the centuries; in Jeremiah, God makes it ever so clear about the false prophets, by saying; I did not send them, they've raised themselves, they speak from their heart, they prophesy falsely.

And millions of others lay their hands on sick people, by thinking that a man could be healed in that way, disregarding the true meaning and purpose of this passage.

They even think that they will pass on the spirit of God to someone else, by that physical act, which yet again is vanity and comes to nothing. (The Lord has inspired people to build Hospitals and clinics and many institutions and He has appointed doctors and nurses to take care of the sick)

They take up the scriptures physically, from the passage, where Paul laid his hands on his disciples to receive the spirit, which in reality it means that he was teaching them the true meaning of the law, to receive the spirit of the Word and the true understanding, which is timeless.

These people they had better ask a Jew what the lying of the hands signifies, or to sit at someone's feet represents.

Jesus blew with his mouth unto his disciples, signifying the breath of life through the spirit of the Word, which was also a shadow of things to come. Remembering that the spirit gives life but the letter kills, referring to the two sides of the scriptures, the letter and of what is hidden within and again pointing to Moses and the Prophets.

The Temple of God is man himself

We all know that the Temple represents man himself, Christ building (creating) a man into the Temple of God, by remembering that God does not dwell in manmade buildings but in a person. Paul testifies to this, by saying; don't you know that you are the Temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1/Corin 3: 16.

(Which puts the so-called church buildings out of context, where men of no knowledge, have been building for so many years, trying to accommodate God into a manmade building. Even paving it with gold and on the sweat and blood of the poor and calling it the house of God, no manmade building will ever accommodate the Lord, which is also why there is no Temple standing in Jerusalem today. Everything was a shadow of things to come, and since the manifestation of Jesus, man 'substitutes' becomes the Temple).

Jesus made it very clear, by saying; destroy this Temple and in three days I shall raise it up. John 2:19 -20. And the Jews said; it took 46 years to build it - where the number 46 is but a cryptic yet again, which I will not go into now, but just to point out the cryptic, what if we were to divide the 40:-6 = 6+2/3rds? Which obviously points to Moses and the Prophets, which also opens up the entire scriptures, which refers to the Tabernacle in the wilderness.

As we can see, Jesus being the seed (son) of David, 'spiritual seed' and what this means is that Jesus was walking 'invisible' all the way from Adam and as a teaching, for anyone who has ears and wants to listen.
