~03/27/2024: "Leave Out, Part 4: No Respecter of Persons"



“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, 
Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that 
God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. [*Acts 10: 34-35 (KJV)]”



“But there rose up 
certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses [*they wanted to add the Law, back on top of Grace!!]. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them [*the Gentiles, gathered together in Cornelius’ house (Acts 10)] the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us [*natural Jews]and put no difference between us [*natural Jews] and them [*the Gentiles], purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke [*THE LAW OF MOSES!!] upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. [*Acts 15: 5-11 (KJV)]”



“Therefore 
by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all [*IN CONTEXT, BOTH NATURAL JEWS AND GENTILES] and upon all them [*IN CONTEXT, BOTH NATURAL JEWS AND GENTILES] that believe: for there is no difference [*IN CONTEXT, BETWEEN BOTH NATURAL JEWS AND GENTILES]: for all [*IN CONTEXT, BOTH NATURAL JEWS AND GENTILES] have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus[*Romans 3: 20-24 (KJV)]”



“For the scripture saith, 
Whosoever [*IN CONTEXT, BOTH NATURAL JEWS AND GENTILES] believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek [*or, THE GENTILE]: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. [*Romans 10: 11-13 (KJV)]”




Most today would like to think that God is a respecter of their person, but they are wrong. Our Father is no respecter of persons, and this would include: our natural name (the name of blasphemy) given us by our natural parents, our country of natural citizenship, our membership within a (particular) natural family, our level of education, our affiliation with a (particular) religious denomination or belief system, our political causes (agendas) and affiliations, and our job or career. These are the individual fig leaves which compose our fig leaf aprons; the false identities derived from our vain and outward facades which we have worked so hard to piece together, and behind which we continue to attempt to run and hide from the presence of God, and from one another… using them as convenient excuses either to excuse or justify ourselves… and our self-centered, “just so busy” behavior… as being “untouchable” by others.



Wherever there is no revelation of who our Father really is, of all that our Father is really like… as He is only seen in, and by, and through The Lamb…; 
there will be a Beast present, clothed with their own fig leaf apron, and constantly trying to fabricate a false image of “God” in its own image, and after its own likeness, in the sight of men and women. How can we possibly love one another in the love of our Father when the only name we are interested in promoting, or exalting, is our own… the name of blasphemy? How can we possibly love one another in the love of our Father when the only country or nationality we are interested in promoting, or exalting, is our own? How can we possibly love one another in the love of our Father when the only family we are interested in promoting, or exalting, is our own natural family? How can we possibly love one another in the love of our Father when the only thing we are trusting, to give us “the life that we want,” is our education? How can we possibly love one another in the love of our Father when we can’t even tell the difference anymore between worshiping our denomination, versus actually knowing and worshiping our Father??



How can we possibly love one another in the love of our Father when all we care about is our own political causes, agendas and affiliations? How can we possibly love one another in the love of our Father when we equate our identity with our job, or career; and our only security in life comes from the amount of money we have hoarded away in our retirement accounts, as we work ourselves into the grave to earn the slave’s greatest reward and most prized possession (a stupid paycheck), loving only money and material possessions… and worshiping nothing but our own, fat stomachs??



The multitude of the Harlot Church’s false prophets today proclaim that “Babylon” is either Iraq or Iran; or else, “The World” and/or “The World’s Evil Financial Systems”… Kind of funny how the christian believes this; and yet the christian still heavily invests in the stock market, while denying that the Tithe is for today, even refusing to bless and support the ministries who are allegedly “blessing them so much”! We are a bunch of two-faced hypocrites with our money… or wait, is it “God’s money,” and if so, where is there any proof of that?? Certainly not in our checkbooks or credit card statements!! Ironically and thankfully, The Lamb included ALL Iraqis and Iranians in His Final Sacrifice for Sin Forever! In the eyes of our Father, legally, ALL Iraqis and Iranians… 
as well as Palestinians… are not only SAVED; but eternally loved, accepted, and embraced by our Father, in The Lamb!



No “Babylon” is the Harlot Church; and in 
The Book of The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ, collectively, the Seven Churches compose “Babylon”. The name, “Babylon,” given unto the collective Seven Churches in The Book of The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ, means, “confusion by mixing (the Law of Moses, back on top of Grace)”. Babylon has been, and currently is, the Greatest False Prophet of them all! The World has never really been the problem; rather, the problem has always been those who claim to represent God on the earth, but have never come to know the Father or His heart toward humanity. They have Dead Letter, but no Spirit. They play “dress up,” hiding behind their fig leaf aprons and within the walls of whore houses every Sunday, which are adorned with stained glass windows and steeples with crucifixes… managed by (mostly) men wearing Halloween costumes: “How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops [*DENOMINATIONS] in the harlots' houses. [*Jeremiah 5: 7 (KJV)]”

~03/25/2024: "Leave Out, Part 3"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



“As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh [*an outward show, or spectacle, to impress men and women after the flesh], they constrain you to be circumcised; 
only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh [*your outward appearance]But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. [*Galatians 6: 12-16 (KJV)]”




The Outer Court is all about an outward appearance, and an outward show, to impress men and women, and keep them happy with us. The Outer Court is all about living unto the lusts of corrupt men and women, giving them what they demand of us; and from whom, we hope to gain approval and acceptance, thus insuring for ourselves some semblance of a more stable, but completely vain, future. The phrase “abusive, co-dependent relationship” comes to mind. This is all that religion is, a completely abusive, co-dependent relationship; without any knowledge of our Father, His true image, or His heart. This is what modern-day christianity is become, and what the Harlot Church of our time revolves around, and emphasizes unto people. Everything is about some outward performance, some grand display or gesture of obedience, to be noticed and applauded in the eyes of men and women. How can we affect this present, evil world; when we have become just like this present, evil world… self-righteous, political, self-promoting, narcissistic, and cut off from everyone in our own, little, perverse, mental bubble? 
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. [*Romans 12: 1-5 (KJV)]” Apostle Paul included in his Dung-Pile List, everything connected with the Outer Court, because he had personal knowledge and experience that, if he held onto any of those things; they would prevent him, not only from “winning” or “getting a grip” on the Indwelling Christ and flowing together with Him, but also from being able to love people without wearing the tainted spectacles of his own prejudices and bigotries, or self-righteousness.

~03/21/2024: "Leave Out, Part 2"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”




The phrase “leave out” comes from the Greek word, “ekballo,” meaning: 
“to bring forth, cast forth, drive out, expel; to eject (literally or figuratively) -- bring forth, cast (forth, out), drive (out), expel, leave, pluck (pull, take, thrust) out, put forth (out), send away (forth, out). [*Strong’s Concordance, #1544]” 



Regarding this Outer Court which he sees, Apostle John is told, 
“…leave out, and measure it not.” Ironically, this outer court signifies the false identity that most of us are deriving presently from the natural or outward man; a false identity composed of our natural name (the name of blasphemy) given by our natural parents, our country of natural citizenship, our membership within a (particular) natural family, our level of education, our affiliation with a (particular) religious denomination, our political causes (agendas) and affiliations, and our job or career.



These are the things that we are attempting to market and merchandise in the eyes of men, for the praise of men, and by the sweat of our brow. These things represent our false image, or our “brand,” that we expect people to fall down and worship; so that, out of our own intense fear and insecurity, we can prove to ourselves… and everyone else… that 
we are “God,” and thus achieve meaning or significance in this temporal lifeAnd anyone who will not bow down unto us, and worship the false image, or brand, which we have worked so hard to create and maintain in the eyes of men, and unto which we have given life so that it should speak unto people; we will kill them, write them out of our lives, cancel them.



The outer court is nothing more than a mere fig-leaf apron, a vain facade of ours; made up of the seven fig leafs which Apostle Paul notes in his Dung-Pile List, because they are just that… 
a bunch of self-righteous, self-glorifying, narcissistic shit!  We forget that Jesus carried our cross out of the Dung Gate in Jerusalem; to put to death, not only us, but also all of our self-righteous shit!



The phrase, 
“…leave out, and measure it not,” brings to mind another parable of the Lord Jesus, in which reference is made unto a particular man who attempts… through the sweat of his own brow and being clothed in a garment drenched in the sweat of his own righteousness… to enter The Feast of Tabernacles, or The Feast of The Glory of The Father’s Love:



“And when the king came in to see the guests, 
he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither [*into The Most Holy Place] not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [*Matthew 22: 11-13 (KJV)]”



This is not about “going to hell”!! We need to grow up, in regard to these things; 
to choose to stop being mere children in our understanding, and with the false hopes of keeping brain-dead men and women “happy with us”… even if they are “our pastor” or “our (so-called) priest”!! This is about being “left out” or “put forth,” back into the Outer Court; so that we will finally come to terms with our Father’s embracing and acceptance of us in The Person & Finished Work of The Lamb on the Brazen Altarand then wash in the Lake of Fire, or Brazen Laver… that we might put on the fine linen garment, spirit of mind, or attitude of heart of a truly Adopted Son! Else, we won’t be able to celebrate in The True Spirit of The Life of The Party; no, we will be The Grand Party Poopers, because we will still think that we must be doing something “right” in order to have earned our right to be here, and to be able to maintain our place at our own Father’s table!!

~03/19/2024: "The Father, Himself, Loves Us"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”




“But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, 
that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your stateFor I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. [*Philippians 2: 19-22 (KJV)]”





They say, “It’s all about 
relationship.” But here’s the thing: it is not all about relationship”!! The purpose of relationship is fellowship. So, actually, “It’s all about fellowship, and hence, manifestation”: “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, [*1 Corinthians 1: 9 (KJV)]” and, “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage [*under the Law…] again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [*Romans 8: 15 (KJV]” Both prodigal sons have a relationship with their father; as relationally, he is their father, and they are his sons. But until the younger prodigal son comes home, there is no indication of either brother having fellowship with their father. Fellowship is not superficial, or surface-level; but implies a deep, heart-to-heart connection, an intimate and mutual sharing, and transparent exchange of all things:“These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs [*under the Law, or Old Testament]: but the time cometh [*Grace, or the New Testament], when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father himself loveth you [*John 16: 25-27a (KJV)]”  Fellowship is all about desire, a longing for, a seeking after, a setting of the affection upon, and an enjoyment of… “all things Jesus Christ,” The Lamb!

~03/15/2024: "Leave Out"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”




The modern christian loves money, material possessions, seeks the praise of men, and gets high off of the pride that accompanies these things. Their self-worship drives them in attempting to use God, His Word, and His Spirit to achieve or accomplish these things for themselves, and hence to build for themselves their own mini-kingdoms which bear their own names; their side-hobby being the entertainment and amusement they derive from seeing the gifts of the Spirit in operation, in manifestation, through someone who is actually open to the Spirit. “…the court which is without the temple leave out…” This “outer court” signifies the outward man, or natural man, and the place from which most people today (christians included) are both deriving, and exalting, a false identity; a false identity composed of the natural name (the name of blasphemy) given by the natural parents, the country of natural citizenship, the membership to a (particular) natural family, the level of education, the affiliation with the (particular) religious denomination, the political causes (agendas) and affiliations, and the job or career… None of these temporal things serve as true indicators of who we really are, as they are mere fig leaves; nor do they point us all unto our other-worldly Source of Origin: the Father of spirits, the very Foundation of The World… Himself! The outer court is the place where the Father confronts the Older Prodigal Son. The modern christian is the self-righteous, angry and frustrated, Older Prodigal Son. And for as much emphasis as the Older Prodigal Son places on his “hearing from God,” and, “only doing what my Heavenly Father tells me to do”; the sheer irony is that the Older Prodigal Son refuses to do the one and only thing weighing heavily on “his Heavenly Father”’s heart: physically come and gather together with his own brother, and fellowship with one another around The Lamb & His Finished Work, in the Presence of their Heavenly Father…

~03/08/2024: "Outer Court: 'Teknon' Religion"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship thereinBut the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”




The court which is without the temple, or the Outer Court, is where the Father meets both of His prodigal sons; and that, specifically and initially, at the Brazen Altar which signifies the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
The Parable of The Two Prodigal Sons is simply another way of stating The Book of The Apocalypse of Jesus Christas they are one and the same parable. In The Parable of The Two Prodigal Sons, the word “son” appears a total of ten times; taking into account the first time “son” is mentioned, it is implied a total of two times: “And he said, A certain man had two sons… [*Luke 15: 11 (KJV]” Every time, except one, when the word “son” appears, the Greek word used is “huios”; and this signifies how the Father, Himself, sees both of His sons.



It does not matter what anyone else thinks about His sons
; “huios” is how the Father sees both of His sons, and how the Father sees both of His sons is: in His own image, after His own likeness, and as possessing the fullness of His own nature and potential… “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me [Acts 1: 8a (KJV]” In essence, in both of His sons, the Father sees Himself… hence, “huios” or “sons of adoption” (more on this, later)!



The one and only time a different word is used for “son” 
is the tenth time the word “son” appears; as “10” is the scriptural number signifying “the Law”. “Teknon,” an immature, childish son, is the word used the tenth time; and this, of course, after the Older Prodigal Son exalts himself above his own Father, by sticking his big foot in his own mouth as he slanders both his Father, and his younger brother. Not once does the Older Prodigal Son call his own father, “Father.” Not once! Because, under the Law, we don’t see God as, “Abba, Father”; but rather, under the Law we see God as a great fiery dragon, or pharaoh, in heaven, an angry God who is ever-crouching and waiting to reward only our strictest and most radical obedience, and to punish our every-slightest disobedience.



A “teknon” is an immature, childish son, in regard to the unconditional and all-inclusive love of our Father, toward all men and women. The “teknon” is self-righteous, self-absorbed, narcissistic, 
politically motivated, suffers from a raging identity crisis, loves money and material possessions above his own Father and Brother; and basically, technically, the only “god” which the “teknon” is actually… presently… worshiping is the false god of their own, fat stomach… its appetites, lusts, pride, and retirement account(s)… “Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ… [*Philippians 3: 17-20 (KJV)]” Modern, Harlot christianity has been an Outer Court, “Teknon” Religion!

~03/07/2024: "The Court which is Without"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship thereinBut the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



The court which is without, or outside, the temple (tent or tabernacle), refers to the Outer Court. In the Old Testament Tabernacle, this was the courtyard outside of the Tent of the Tabernacle of Meeting, or Tent of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. In the Outer Court, there were two primary articles of furniture; 1. the Brazen Altar; and, 2. the Brazen Laver or Sea, the Lake of Fire.



In 
The Parable of The Two Prodigal Sons, it is in this Outer Court where the Father runs and meets both of His prodigals; specifically, at the Brazen Altar, which signifies the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Younger Prodigal Son embraces his Father’s acceptance of him, in The Lamb; in the Person and Finished Work of our Lord Jesus Christ, and at the Brazen Altar. Toward the end of The Parable of The Two Prodigal Sons, the Older Prodigal Son remains resistant to his Father’s embrace and acceptance of him, in The Lamb; in the Person and Finished Work of our Lord Jesus Christ.



Today, the Outer Court 
signifies the false identity we are deriving, not only from our natural man, or our outward man; but also, from the vanity of our intricately woven fig leaf aprons, with which we are continually working so hard to attempt to cover ourselves… as we run and hide from the presence of our Father, in one another. In his letter unto the Philippians, Apostle Paul notes each of these individual, outward fig leaves… that aids us in fabricating and maintaining our self-righteous, fig leaf aprons; and they include, our natural names (the name of blasphemy), our natural countries of citizenship, our natural families, our levels of education, our religious denominations, our political causes (agendas) and affiliations, and our jobs or careers…



“Though I might also have confidence 
in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I morecircumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things [*these afore-mentioned things] were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ [*Philippians 3: 4-8 (KJV)]”

~03/04/2024: "Them that Worship Therein"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



“[*Jesus speaking unto the Jews, who were under the Law…] I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name [*the name of blasphemy], him ye will receiveHow can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.  Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me [*His Father]. [*John 5: 41-44; 12: 42-44 (KJV)]”



“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. [*Romans 2: 28, 29 (KJV)]”




The christian has turned worship, or praise and worship, into a self-serving, self-worshiping device; geared for garnering the praise of men, and earning the awards that vain men give for the arts, for performances. Yet, King David never won a Grammy or a Dove Award, for anything he wrote, sang and played in the open fields; while keeping watch over his father’s flocks. Christian music, anymore, sounds like the same, old greeting card you would give someone every year for their birthday or holidays; the same, old greeting card, parroting the same, old words… just set to a different melody each time.


And what good is all of that if, in our hearts, we have not become truly receptive unto all that the Spirit is disclosing of the Lord Jesus? What good is all of that, if we continue to remain the same old, bigoted, racist, prejudiced, politically driven narcissists that we have been for the last two to ten decades?


Genuine worship
 simply implies that a heart has become open, friendly, supple, bendable, pliable, receptive unto the Spirit within, unto the things pertaining to the kingdom of God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Genuine worship is receptivity unto the Spirit; and seeks the praise and honor that come from God our Father, alone.


Now for a long season, the Harlot Church has emphasized that God desires our “praise and worship”; and in turn, she has constructed for herself a multi-billion dollar, multi-level marketing industry out of our “praise and worship” music, mimicking The World’s self-glamorizing system of performance-for-awards. Yet, have we never read: “Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples [*CHURCH BUILDINGS] made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands [*WITH THEIR “PRAISE AND WORSHIP” MUSIC], as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things [*Acts 17: 22-25 (KJV)]” Therefore, genuine worship is receptivity unto the Spirit; and seeks the praise and honor that come from God our Father, alone.


The true and manifest temple of God are those who have realized, and continue to recognize, that their physical bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in them, and whom they have from God. They are not their own, anymore, belonging only unto themselves! They are His! The golden altar of incense signifies their will, which is engaged with the Spirit, and yielded… willing to receive… all that the Spirit is willing to disclose of the Lord Jesus Christ, The Lamb and His Finished Work. This emits the sweetest of fragrances unto the Father. And finally, genuine worship signifies… once again… the heart that is open, friendly, supple, bendable, pliable, receptive unto the Spirit within, unto the things pertaining to the kingdom of God and our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the heart that is presently receiving from the Spirit“… life, and breath, and all things. [*Acts 17: 25 (KJV)]” Of note, these are all of the things which The Younger Prodigal Son begins to experience, as the direct result of the Grace of His Father’s Embrace; while his Older Prodigal Brother chooses to remain angry and self-righteous in the Outer Court, refusing to dip and wash in the Lake of Fire or Brazen Laver, and to change his garments so that he can enter and enjoy the Wedding Feast, the Feast of Tabernacles, with his own Brother and Father.

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”

“These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 
They shall put you out of the synagogues [*their “churches”]: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me[*John 16: 1-3 (KJV)]”




The Harlot Church and The World have programmed us to hate, murder one another, even in the name of God; thinking that we are doing God a service while we are hating and murdering one another. But the irony is that we cannot, truly, have more of our Father; without having more of one another. For us to claim to know God, even more to love God; while hating, murdering one another, choosing to separate ourselves from one another, 
is for us to be anti-Christ…regardless of all that our big mouths may be saying or confessing! The Older Prodigal comes to this profound realization.


The lazy, fat christian “goes to church” for entertainment, for amusement, to be seen by men and women, and for making convenient, self-serving, political connections with those men and women; and the “pastor”… the “pastor” is expected both to “hear God” and provide the entertainment for the christian, you know, “Because we’re all just so busy…” serving our idols. Where, exactly, are the people who seek and set their affection on things above, on both a personal level and daily basis; and without the use of the dumb-phone, dumb-tablet, and dumb-TV? And then, where (exactly) are the people who are so excited by receiving from the Spirit, the things pertaining unto the Lord Jesus Christ, that they can’t wait to gather together and share those things, impart those things unto one another? Where are they??


The true Temple of God is composed of The Lord God Almighty and The Lamb, period; and includes any and all who have awakened unto the realization of their union and fellowship which they share and experience with The Eternal Godhead, and with one another, in… and by… and through… The Sacrificial Body of The Lamb.


Unlike the Day of Atonement under the Old Covenant, when the Golden Altar of Incense was moved behind the Veil and exposed unto the Glory of Divine Love, Himself, for one hour each year; today, the Day of Salvation, our Lord Jesus has completely removed the Veil between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place (under the Tent of the Tabernacle of Meeting); and as a result, The Golden Altar of Incense of The Human Will is being exposed perpetually unto the Glory of Divine Love, Himself, making the will to become more and more willing to receive from the Spirit, the things that pertain unto The Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ and His Finished Work: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure, [*Philippians 2: 13 (KJV)]” and, “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 well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. [*Hebrews 13: 20, 21 (KJV)]”


This is why most christians today are so miserable, and why most people in The World are so miserable! They don’t recognize the One unto Whom they have been sanctified, set apart, much less that He has made His dwelling place, or His place of habitation, within them; so, they keep “living their lives” under, and unto, the fear of man... holding onto and glorying in outward, external, superficial, shallow things and vain performances!

~03/01/2024: "When God Seems Silent"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”




We have never noticed the fact that, in 
The Parable of The Two Prodigal Sons, there is no record… whatsoever… of the Father actually speaking directly unto His Younger Prodigal Son. In today’s over-stimulated, highly distractive, entertainment-based and amusement-driven “prophetic culture”… where everyone seems to think that they are a true prophet of the Lord Jesus; there has developed a tremendously skewed emphasis, not only on “hearing God’s voice,” but also on “how to hear God’s voice continually” as well as on “what to do if you are not hearing God’s voice continually”. And of course, the Harlot Church continues to sit on her ass; grinding away at the millstone, to crank out even more and more witchcrafts and sorceries regarding such topics as, “How to hear God’s voice continually,” and, “what to do if you are not hearing God’s voice continually”! What a bunch of raging narcissism, and self-righteousness! Our Father doesn’t have to speak all of the time, nor does He; much less, will our Father speak continually.  In The Book of Genesis, it is recorded, “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.” Well, what was He doing for six days? He was speaking… for six days! On the seventh day, He took a break…; He shut up, became silent, enjoying His Rest! In The Book of Our New Covenant High Priest, Melchizedek, the scripture notes, For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works [*from speaking]. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.” We still remain so much under the Law in our deluded thinking, that we actually assume that we must be doing something wrong or be guilty of some kind of heinous sin, if we are not currently “hearing God’s voice continually”. But there remains something far greater than “hearing God’s voice continually”: our beholding… continually… the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Jesus Christ! And what if the reason why God seems silent… at the moment… is because He wants to hear our voice? In The Song of Solomon, the Bridegroom becomes silent; because He desires to hear His Bride speak unto the world, in His love! Why? Because Apostle Paul notes, regarding the true Word of God: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach” It is time for us to grow up in the love of our Father, for us to realize the union and fellowship we share with the Eternal Godhead (and with one another) in… and by… and through… the sacrificial body of The Lamb, and for us to be the Love of God for us to be the Word of God unto one another, and unto the rest of the whole world.

~02/27/2024: "Stuck, Mired in The Feast of Pentecost!"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



“And he (*the Older Prodigal Son) called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; 
and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him [*accepted him] safe and sound. And he (*the Older Prodigal) was angry, and would not go intherefore came his father out, and intreated [*Greek ~ “begged”] him. [*Luke 15: 26-28 (KJV)]”




To claim that we know God, even more, that we love God; while simultaneously hating one another, remaining indifferent toward one another, (and hence, murdering or cancelling one another through our indifference toward one another) proves that we are under the influence of the anti-Christ spirit, or the Beast. We cannot claim to know God, even less, to love God; while we simultaneously hate and continue to go about separating ourselves from one another, remaining indifferent toward one another. Indifference is hatred; and hatred is murder. No murderer has eternal life abiding within them; no matter what their big mouth might be saying or confessing. To claim to know God, and to love God; while hating one another, separating ourselves from one another, 
is to be anti-Christ. Anti-Christ is “anti-Love-of-Our-Father-toward-one-another. However we may be presently treating one another, is exactly how we are presently treating our Lord Jesus Christ; for, “…we are members of one another, members of His body, of His bones, and of His flesh.” Have we forgotten what Saul of Tarsus learned on the road to Damascus? “And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest…” Now for over two-thousand years, we have been stuck, mired in the Feast of Pentecost; worshiping our own love for and toward God, making false gods out of our gifts by which we attempt to show love toward God, and creating an absolute idol out of our own capacity “to hear from God” or “hear God’s voice” and obey “that voice”.  And all the while, we continue to raise both middle fingers in each others’ faces; proclaiming with adamant hearts of stone unto one another; “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing… including you! I have God! I don’t need you!” We have become the Older Prodigal Son. Maybe, this is exactly why… even perhaps, the very reason… it is becoming more and more, increasingly difficult for most of us to be able to hear that living voice, anymore at all? We have only sought that voice for ourselves, our own interests (including for entertainment and amusement purposes), for, “What’s in it for me, myself, I, my and mine”; whereas our Father is begging us, even waiting with long forbearance, for us to become willing to have our hearts transformed into a permanent dwelling place… a place of habitation… for His love, and this, toward one another as true brethren!

~02/23/2024: "The Temple of God"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”




In 
The Book of The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ, Apostle John notes, “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. [*Revelation 21: 22 (KJV)]”  Yet today, after two millennia, christians remain in slavery to their church buildings; and in particular, christians remain in slavery unto their pastors.  Our Heavenly Father is still perceived as an angry dragon, or pharaoh, in heaven; ever-crouching and waiting to reward our strictest obedience, and to punish our every slightest disobedience.  And today’s “pastor”? Today’s “pastor” has taken the place, and stands in the shoes of Moses; operating as our official taskmaster, and mediator, between us and our angry pharaoh in heaven.  “Rise,” they belch out, “and let us build… our pulpits and buildings, with pyramid-like steeples and crucifixes affixed on top.”  They go on to declare, “If we build it, He will come!”; having the Lamb confused with Kevin Costner’s fictional father from Field of Dreams.  They think the same thing, regarding the rebuilding of the physical temple in natural Jerusalem; who likewise, remains in slavery with her children unto the Law of Moses, and the corrupt and perverse image of our Father, which the Law of Moses projects into our hearts. It would actually do us a lot of good, for once, for us to make the time to read through, and meditate, the entire New Testament; and especially the New Testament epistles unto the churches!  Christians are full of excuses, rather than the Holy Ghost!  For in the New Testament we find, “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things… [*Acts 17: 24, 25 (KJV)]”  In The Book of The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ, when Apostle John is instructed, “Rise, and measure the temple of God…,” it is for the purpose of sealing the true servants of God, in their foreheads; who have rediscovered, and awakened unto, the knowledge or awareness of their union which they share with The Eternal Godhead, in… and by… and through… the Sacrificial & Broken Body of The Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ: “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s, [*1 Corinthians 6: 19, 20 (KJV)]” and, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. [*Ephesians 5: 30 (KJV)]”

~02/20/2024: "Whose Acceptance of Whom, is Being Emphasized?"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”


“And he (*the Older Prodigal Son) called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him [*accepted him] safe and sound. [*Luke 15: 26, 27 (KJV)]”


“Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace…
 [*Ephesians 1: 5-7 (KJV)]”



We must remember that the Father ran toward the Younger Prodigal Son; even, “…when he was yet a great way off.”Hmmm,“…yet a great way off…” “The Way,” was the name which the natural Jews gave unto the door, from the outside world, and into the Outer Court of the Tabernacle; whereupon entering, the first article of furniture we would have seen in the Outer Court would have been the Brazen Altar, which signified and foreshadowed the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is where the Younger Prodigal’s Father, “…(1)saw him, and (2)had compassion, and (3)ran, and (4)fell on his neck, and (5)kissed him.”  Behold, The Pure Embrace of Grace… of Unconditional & All-Inclusive Love, Himself! The Brazen Altar symbolizes, not only our Heavenly Father’s unconditional and all-inclusive love toward us all; but also, our Heavenly Father’s unconditional and all-inclusive acceptance of us all, in the Person and Finished Work of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Lamb! I’ve said this thousands of times over the years, and I will continue to proclaim this Truth as long as there is breath in my lungs: The True & Pure Gospel… is not about our “having to accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior”; but rather, The True & Pure Gospel contains the awesome revelation of our Heavenly Father’s Unconditional & All-Inclusive Acceptance of Us, in the Person and Finished Work of The Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ: “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach. [*1 Timothy 4: 9-11 (KJV)]”

~02/19/2024: "Inward Life vs. Outward Show: Two Very Different Sons"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



The carnal mind is the natural mind. The natural mind attempts to read into the scriptures many corrupt and perverse things which are simply not there, including denominational things; and this, all toward the end-game of serving itself, justifying its own personal and political agendas. The natural mind presumes that Revelation 11 shows that God is expecting us to rebuild the physical temple in natural Jerusalem; and hence, for us to remove from Grace, and back under the law of animal sacrifices for sin and sins, but this could not possibly be farther from the Truth. The two verses quoted above… namely, Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)… accurately depict all that is transpiring toward the end of The Parable of The Two Prodigal SonsThe Parable of The Two Prodigal Sons is simply another way of stating The Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ. These two parables are one, and the same. Yes, to reiterate a thousand times over… The Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ is The Ultimate Love Parable! The Younger Prodigal moved inwardly, into his Father’s tent or tabernacle, and he is signified by, “Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein…; whereas, the Older Prodigal is signified by, But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.”  The Younger Prodigal represents True Worship, the Inward Life; the Older Prodigal remains mired in the outward show, in all of "the pomp and circumstance" of putting on some kind of an open, grand spectacle in the eyes of men... and, for the praise of men. These are two very different sons!...

~02/15/2024: "The Golden Altar of Incense"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



The carnal mind is the natural mind. The natural mind reads into the scriptures many corrupt and perverse things, including denominational things (*most christians today are still denominational, and they simply can’t see it… even, refusing to see it); and then worships its own knowledge and understanding of what it thinks the scriptures mean, from its own point of view, and all of the time to justify its own personal agenda. Then, the carnal mind “gets off” on its own knowledge, lording it over people; as it is full of smug pride and arrogance. There is a major difference between our attempting to read into the scriptures, something that is not there; versus, our humbling ourselves, actually becoming teachable, and allowing for the Spirit to cause us to see into the scriptures, and to receive of the deep things of the Lord Jesus Christ, the true spiritual revelations that are of Him. This brings up the Golden Altar of Incense, signifying the human will that is engaged with the Presence of God, and in a complete state of rest and wholeness in the Most Holy Place of our spirits; and having no ulterior motives or hidden agendas, other than simply to know and understand the Father’s heart. Under the Old Testament, on one day of the year, for one hour, the Golden Altar of Incense was moved behind the veil; from the Holy Place, and into the Most Holy Place. That day was The Day of Atonement; or, The Day of our At-One-Ment-with-God-in-Christ, our True & New Covenant High Priest.

~02/09/2024: "Innumerable Company of Angels, Part 1"


Recently, I had begun thinking again about the “innumerable company of angels (holy messengers)” on Mount Zion, mentioned in the twelfth chapter of The Book of Hebrews; and how this reference connects to The Lamb and the 144,000 in The Book of The Apocalypse: “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus [*The Lamb] the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh… [*Hebrews 12: 22-25a (KJV)]” and, “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. [*Revelation 14: 1 (KJV)]”


The same day I began thinking about these things again, my wife mentioned to me in passing, “I’ve been thinking about how the world lately is all about celebrating our differences and what makes us unique. It seems like individuality has become more important than celebrating how we are all one in Him. We should be trying to see how we are connected rather than how we are separate, unique, different.  When she said this to me, it triggered in my memory a quite electric vision I had years ago. For brevity, I was caught up, taken into this Mount Zion. Whether in the body, or out of the body, I could not tell. But I took off like a rocket. I actually flew. I did not go to some distant place called “heaven”; but rather, I became caught up, enraptured into something massive, that was manifesting… coming into existence… right here on Planet Earth, and on this side of the grave.


While here, on Mount Zion, I saw this brilliant, white, glowing throne and the One sitting upon it. Round about the throne, there was an innumerable company of angels, holy messengers. These were not “angels” in the traditional sense, with cartoonish, flappy wings; but rather, the actual spirits of just men made perfect through the revelation of the Father’s love in The Lamb, and therefore they are carriers of The Pure Gospel Message of The Cross of Jesus Christ, and His Resurrection Glory. It was as if the great white throne, and the One sitting upon it served as the center hub of a great wheel, with spokes; and the spokes being like pure, white, radiant light shooting out of the throne like laser beams and connecting with each of the angels, or holy messengers… who, in turn, would radiate with that very light, and with abundant thanksgiving, back unto the throne and unto the One sitting upon it, while simultaneously reflecting that glorious light unto the rest of the whole world. Just like a pebble dropped into a still lake of water; so too, this Glorious Lamb was having a rippling effect upon the masses, as He lovingly, mercifully, graciously expands His Throne, and the influence thereof in the hearts of people, throughout the entire world.


I said all of that, to say this… and to connect it all with the remarks my wife made, above. The “innumerable company of angels”… they radiated with the pure, white light of the Glory of God. They radiated so purely and brightly, that they had absolutely no distinction from one another. I could not see any of their individual features. Yet I could literally feel how completely secure they each felt, and were, in our Father’s love in The Lamb. I saw no distinction, or any ability to identify them from one another, based upon their natural names. I saw no distinction, or any ability to identify them from one another, based upon their countries of citizenship and their respective flags. I saw no distinction, or any ability to identify them from one another, based upon their natural family connection and lineage. I saw no distinction, or any ability to identify them from one another, based upon their education or lack thereof. I saw no distinction, or any ability to identify them from one another, based upon their denominational affiliation. I saw no distinction, or any ability to identify them from one another, based upon their political affiliations, agendas and causes. I saw no distinction, or any ability to identify them from one another, based upon their theological or seminary training and so-called “expertise” therein.


They all… had already counted all of these things as “dung”; that they might get a grip on Christ-In-Them; and it was the revelation of our Heavenly Father’s Unconditional & All-Inclusive Love, as He is only seen, in… and by… and through… The Lamb, which ultimately triggered their loss of taste for… and loss of interest in… all of these things. They were all One, and therefore the same as the One sitting upon the throne.


This is not yet the case today, but it is coming into manifestation… it is coming into existence… on this planet, called, “Earth”; and that, through our rediscovering, and recapturing, of the Pure Light of our Father’s love in The Lamb, by The Pure Gospel of Grace, and through the holy messengers of The Lamb. We have turned ourselves into, and become our own false gods. We are presently, and inordinately, in love with ourselves. We worship ourselves. Seven billion people… all in love with ourselves; and therefore, divided and separated from one another, each worshiping our own false god; and therein, emphasizing our own, individual and unique “creative potential”!


And what about our Creator? Where is He, even, acknowledged anymore?… “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. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 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. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 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: 21-25 (KJV)]”

~02/07/2024: "The 'Measuring' & 'Leaving Out'"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rodand the angel stoodsaying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”



This “measuring” as well as “leaving without” occurs during The Sixth Thunder, in The Book of The Apocalypse of Jesus Christ. Several noteworthy things to mention about this Sixth Thunder would include its general theme, the Euphrates, the river or flood which the dragon casts out of his mouthpieces or ministers; in order to pull people back into Babylon the Harlot Church, and her intricate systems, from which they were coming out. The specific conflict during The Sixth Thunder is The Spirit of Knowledge of The Glory of The Lord confronting A False Witness that Speaks Lies. It is also during this Sixth Thunder that the 144,000 are sealed with the revelation of the Father’s Unconditional & All-Inclusive Love; as He is only seen, in… and by… and through… The Lamb. One more significant thing to point out is the Golden Altar of Incense which was positioned, in the Old Testament tabernacle, in the Holy Place and just outside of the Veil separating the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place; under the Tent of The Tabernacle of The Congregation. This Golden Altar of Incense is vitally important, and mentioned frequently throughout The Sixth Thunder. Outside of this Tent was the Outer Court; where we would find both the Brazen Altar, and the Brazen Laver (or Sea)… the Lake of Fire.

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rodand the angel stoodsaying, Rise, and measure (1)the temple of God, and (2)the altar, and (3)them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”


“Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house (*his Father’s Tent or Tabernacle), he heard musick and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated (*implored or begged) him (*to dip in The Lake of Fire, wash, come in, and join the party!)
. [*Luke 15: 25-28 (KJV)]”



Christians have become synonymous with, and notorious for “worshiping the worship”; even, renown for making a false god out of “praise and worship”. What if the Spirit were to show us that true worship, genuine worship, has nothing to do with music, our playing of instruments, our singing of songs? What is all of that, anyway, if the heart remains closed unto… if the will remains disengaged from and indifferent toward… if the conscience remains seared and callous in regard to… being able to receive from the Spirit the deep and profound, spiritual revelations pertaining unto the Lord Jesus Christ, The Lamb and His Finished Work? We have concocted a multitude of false gods, contrived from music, our playing of instruments, our singing of songs; even turning men and women into our gods, who have pleasant voices and can play well on instruments. Then, we divide and separate ourselves even further from one another, into more mini-denominations, based upon our musical preferences, tastes and dislikes. And yet we continue to “look unto music,” allegedly, to “create unity”? What?? When will we ever learn that there is no such thing as true, genuine “unity” outside of, and apart from, the revelation of our Father’s unconditional and all-inclusive love, in… and by… and through… The Lamb? There is a pronounced, monumental misconception which has turned into a great deception and strong delusion, regarding the music and dancing heard coming from within the Father’s tent or tabernacle, by the Older Prodigal Son. They say that the Feast of Tabernacles is all about worshiping God together, with our music and the song in our hearts. But what about our glaring lack of understanding, regarding what (specifically) is actually inspiring, triggering the music and dancing within our Father’s tent or tabernacle? What is the source of the music and dancing, but the unveiling of our Heavenly Father’s unconditional and all-inclusive love; as He is only seen, in… and by… and through… The Lamb? This is The Redemptive Reality in which The Fatted Calf, or The True 5-Fold Ministry, is rooting and grounding both the Younger Prodigal Son; as well as the rest of our Father’s household. Over and over again, unto each of the Seven Churches, comes the exhortation: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches,” and, “…worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. [*Revelation 22: 9b, 10 (KJV)]” This… this is true worship! It is a matter of the heart; and not an outward show, or some epic and theatrical production, some open spectacle, staged for the praise of men.

Sports, arts, music, entertainment, hobbies, most sectors of industry, all natural government… all promote and exalt the works of men’s and women’s hands. And where is there any knowledge, whatsoever, of our Father’s love in The Lamb in any of these things; much less, a general comprehension of all that The Lamb has single-handedly pulled off, both in His death and resurrection?



The World has evolved into an elaborate, self-absorbed talent show; and The Harlot Church and christian are no different. Babylon the Harlot Church, and the christian, are in love with money and the praise of men; keeping the traditions of men, observing the rudiments of this present, evil world. And they will persecute and attempt to put to death, “cancel” through their indifference or hatred, any apostolic or prophetic voice who points out these things.


It is almost as if… the Lord Jesus never came; even, as if Calvary and Resurrection have never occurred. Jude brings this out, in his short epistle: “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [*Jude 1: 3, 4 (KJV)]”


The revelation given unto the Apostle John puts a reed or "a writer’s pen” in his hand which consequently acts as a rod, dividing and separating, as well as examining inwardly, those who have “entered their Father’s Tent” and are celebrating The Feast of Their Father’s Love in The Lamb with one another; versus, those who stubbornly choose to remain in the Outer Court, full of the anger and wrath of their own self-righteousness, self-absorption, refusing to dip and wash in the Lake of Fire… the Brazen Laver or Brazen Sea… and to change their garments, in order that they might enjoy “the party within”.

~02/02/2024: "Mirrors & Reflections: Self-Righteous Bookends"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rodand the angel stoodsaying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”




Self-righteousness is not happy unless it is absolutely sure that someone is going to have to pay for their sin and sins… Herein lies the heart-breaking tragedy of modern “christianity”: perpetual and complete, 
willful ignorance of The Lamb, and His Finished Work. Our Lord Jesus Christ not only paid for the sin and sins of the whole world; He also… both physically, and literally… became the sin and sins of the whole world! Once He died on the Cross, He put to death, and shattered the power of both sin and sins, in Himself. Exactly, when has The Harlot Church preached this? And since when are sin and sins greater than the unfathomable power of our Heavenly Father’s love in The Lamb? In Christ Jesus our sin and sins have already died; together with our former identity, that old man of ours, who was the “sinner”! This is true for every single person born into the present world. But modern “christianity,” aka Harlot “christianity,” is big business; full of political causes and agendas, endless and selfish  “positionings” for power, “end-time eventalism,” fear-mongering, conspiracy theories, dead traditions based on the dead letter of scripture, paranoia, superstitions… and let’s not forget about all of Her infamous, notorious “how to”-applications! And we claim to be “the Light of the World”? Where?   Isn’t it interesting that, in The Parable of The Sheep and The Goats, both the sheep and the goats refer unto the King as, “Lord”? Yet, only one of those groups knows Him as “Father,” as He is only seen in… and by… and through… The Lamb, from atop The Mercy Seat or Throne of Grace; while the other group perceives Him as the devil that they worship, or the dragon, or the Great Fiery Pharaoh “in heaven”?  And herein… is exposed our primary, underlying, root issue… The image of our Heavenly Father, that we are carrying in our hearts; is determining how we are presently treating one another, is the very reflection of how we are presently treating one another.  Everything else is merely sin-conscious, sin-driven, obedience and performance-based, human attempts at behavior modification or self-improvement; in order that we might, both selfishly and “someday”… “go to heaven,” and “not go to hell”! Yet, in our hearts or minds, most of us are already in hell; living in the constant guilt, shame, judgment, condemnation, fear and torment of our own self-righteousness!

~02/01/2024: "The Pen that Divides & Exposes"


“And there was given me a reed like unto a rodand the angel stoodsaying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [*Revelation 11: 1, 2 (KJV)]”


The reed, that Apostle John is given, is likened unto a writer’s pen which has the authority of a rod. A good shepherd uses a rod, not only to divide his sheep from the goats; but also, to examine his sheep for any deeper-than-surface issues which may be causing his sheep to be sick and feeble… and even worse, to die. Therefore, this writer’s pen (and rod) has both a “dividing-” and an “exposing-” power. It is the revelation of Christ, through the scriptures of the holy prophets, that gives Apostle John this writer’s pen; which is dipped in the inkhorn, containing the precious blood of The Lamb. Because of the revelation of Christ, Apostle John is empowered to “rise” and see things from an elevated, “Most High” point of view, atop The Mercy Seat or Throne of Grace; as compared to viewing only the dead letter of scripture. And herein lies that great mystery… of the difference between the sheep, versus the goats; even, in the very Parable of The Sheep and The Goats. This is not anything close to what most christians think! Five major words that are included in the context of the sheep, but that are completely omitted from the context of the goats, are: 1. King; 2. blessed; 3. Father; 4. inherit; 5. brethren…
