On the night of 8th July 2010, in the house where I reside, I began to hear things in my spirit about matters that had transpired in the recent past concerning the ministration that I offer in my town. As has been my habit, I began to pen down what I was seeing. I don’t want to claim ownership of these things. Much of my focus in the prophetic has been refined by men who I know have imprinted in me the ability to see.
Credit goes to this list of men in sequential order:
Bonnie Otieno, the young man who brought me back to the Lord, on my way to a discotheque. (Funny how days fly. The last time I saw you; you weren’t that young, were you? And this ‘expansion of the tent’ thing, what are you eating? Hope your house is well. God knows I would have died that night if I went to that club.);
The late Brother Peter Mbau.(You taught me to hear God in the shrubs of Chania River.), the fellowship that gathered at Kimathi;
Dr. Solomon M. Kyengo.( Why did you have to nick – name me Myles Munroe? Now I know why!);
Senior Elder, Sammy Gachengechi. (Remember embracing me after teaching in a lunch hour fellowship at Church On The Rock at Gilmas? The word you spoke into me still resonates. You can imagine that.);
Dr. Paul Seyi Ogedengbe. (That prophetic evening before we had supper at Elder Gachengechi’s home. The word is coming true. But the pain, man!);
Elder Patrick C. Njoroge. (Checking on my character as I lived with you. How are my siblings, where is Otis anyway? I hope Ashley is fine);
The Prophetic presbytery at The Revival Fellowship International, Dr. John Polis, Dr. Mike Paggio, Dr. Charles Forkalt. (The ministry was to a land between two rivers. That’s where I am now.);
Senior Elder Joseph Njoroge. (You sent me back to Thika and asked, “Do you hear God?” Of which I said I did. I understand how critically essential that was now.);
Dr. Thamo Naidoo. (I once heard you on a C90 Chrome audion tape. It has never been the same since..The journey consciously began);
Dr. Robert Munien. (Thank you for the Grace that you placed in me even through attaching me to my Resource Centre in the name of a father, Dr. DAvid Ogaga. Much Honour sir.);
Dr. Noel Woodroffe. (The BSM, a system of God, was my “nut – cracker”. I was a hard one. It was my deliverance from all that means religion.);
Dr. Segi Govender, and the Accurate Building Concepts Audios. Am eternally indebted.);
Dr. David Ogaga. (Kingdom Eschatology...Where was this before? Changing of my views and perspectives concerning the will of God and our present state and future 'occupation' was a turn around for me.);
Dr. Sam Soleyn. (It’s about time the sons of God mature for the assignment. It’s about our Father’s business. I can’t agree more);
Elders Julius Kanja Murage and Elder John Njuguna Karanja, and The Fellowship at Kingdom Embassy International...'hupotasso'...ha haaa... (Acts 2: 46. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart...You are in trouble sirs!);
To my wife, Beatrice N. Mwaura and blood daughter Blessing M. Mwaura, (Its not about us, it’s about a larger family, called Christ);
To the friends and partners in The Life Gate Community, The Kamaus, The Kibes, Kent Ochieng’, Dan Njoroge, Dan Biu, Pauline Muthee, Shi - Sylvia Wanjiru, 'Batonical' Mkamburi, Diana, Felix, Geoffrey Ndung'u, Irene 'Peace', John Gachiri, Kagiri 'The Tech', Mutheu Maureen, The Nderitus, Risper, Wambui Gachugi. (Competence);
Daniel Kye - my administrator. You have been my 'keeper'. Thanks for soberness.
As you may well see, we are a confluence of many streams of people and graces that makes us to become what God, Our Source meant us to be. We are not individuals, trying to pursue self - made determinations. We are a Community - An 'Elowhiym Society', built and meant to reveal the nature of The Invisible Father in time and space.
And to the Corporate Expression of Christ on the Earth, it’s a new day; it’s a New Season of God.
Brother Fredrick M. Mukiri.

PIECES FROM ETERNITY.
Chapter1.
“BEFORE GOD DOES, HE SHOWS!”
The Lord and King never does anything without telling his servants the prophets about it.
- Amos 3:7. New International Reader's Version (NIRV)
Of late, I and the sons that God has pulled in to be fathered in the household that I lead, The Life Gate Community, have been discussing matters pertaining to The New Season that God is bringing and what this New Season entails. Personally, I have been in Christian circles for quite a long duration of time, long enough to have had many instances when the phraseology, “God is about to do a new thing”, was mentioned. Many – a – time, it came through prophets, an example being Brother Morris Cerullo, who would declare a new thing that God was doing, or was about to do. Other times, it was mentioned by prophetic teachers, like T.L. Osborn, who emphasized and taught about matters that God would do in the process of time. For example, when I was in college, Florida Beacon College and Seminary, I remember Dr. T.L. Osborn defining to us about the dimensions of the new thing that God would do, that it would astound the traditional church setting, the way it was. But the handicap with the vast majority of masses, especially those in the main – line churches was their inability to see when that thing being mentioned actually took place. In most cases and instances, the largest percentages were and still are ill – prepared to distinguish or discern when the new thing happens.
The problem is, when the new thing comes, and the people on which the new thing was to affect fail to detect the change in season, the lament like the one Jesus had concerning Jerusalem is declared; failure to discern time of visitation. Serious things then start to take stage that are characterised by such words as desolate, empty, void, and inglorious and such like.
But in this instance, I’d wish to open our eyes to the things that we can focus upon, to help us to understand what God is doing. This is because, as I have pointed in the heading, God does nothing before He shows it. And consequently, the people He shows these things to, become His voice to vibrate in the same resonance as He is, to speak as it were, prophetically, the things that are happening or are about to happen. It is His way of making sure that we understand when a season changes and a new one sets in.
He is so serious in what He is doing; much that He clearly puts the information of what He does in shadows and types, so that you don’t miss out on what He is doing. But still, true to the fact, people continue to miss out. It has happened before and it will continue to go on. There will be those who will fail to see and will solidify and consolidate on what God did in times past. Let me reveal one thing before we proceed on. We are on a journey. This journey is supposed to take us back to where we came from. It is taking us to a place called, “...before God”. – Psalm 84. Paul calls the same place by different terms; “gather together...in Christ...in Him.”
As we “migrate”, (a word we shall be interacting with soon), going into this 'place', (of which, the word “position” would be a better word to capture the essence of it), we need to understand that it’s easy to miss the change of season by focusing on the wrong things. David, being a prophet said, “...passing through the valley of Baca, make it a well; the rain also fill the pools.”
– Psalm 84:6. Authorised Version.
I’ve taken the liberty to edit this scripture, so as to get the message, because, you see if you check in your bible, there are words upright and words italicised. The italicised words are the additions of the editor of the Hebrew and Greek original manuscripts, trying to infer the message, but were not in the original texts. But that’s besides the point here. So, we see that we don’t just go through Baca. We have inside us a genetic cording that we are supposed to speak to the situation called Baca and change the way it functions and the way it finally appears. Its the speaking of a prophetic people who are on transition that changes the situation at Baca.
There is therefore a temptation to shift focus from the journey to the miraculous happenings at Baca. To be aggrandized by what your movement and your declaration causes around you and fail to realise that your journey does not stop at the dry, emaciated ground turned into wells and positions of rain. The temptation is to fail to realise that your journey ends at “...BEFORE GOD IN ZION”. – Psalm 84:7.
To understand the prophetic, which is revealed in shadows and types, we need to understand two dimensions;-
1. Eternity.
2. Time.
What is the difference? Eternity represents that which is unseen by the natural eye, but is a reality which is more real and permanent. On the contrast, what appears in time and space is physical, temporal and shadowy. It may appear real, because it may be tangible or visible, but the reality is what is unseen. The problem with us recognising and anticipating anything prophetic is because though we are creatures from eternity, we are born in time and space, so we tend to think that, to the extent that we experience personally, culturally, contextually and collectively, is all there is to experience. We tend to begin our life with the idea of time and space as the realities. That’s where our concept of reality gets warped and distorted. The concept of the eternal becomes a foreign language to us. We are no longer native to eternal matters. We become fixated in time, thinking in terms of past, present and future; 'what I have known up to now, being extrapolated into tomorrow to try to predict the occurrences of the future'. But it is not supposed to be so.
When we trend on these matters in that perspective, eternal realm no longer comes to us instinctively, or by common reference. It therefore becomes imperative that the realm of eternity come to us by revelation of God, because, God is eternal.
It’s pointing to this one assertion; If God is eternal, then everything He is, He has and does, that is known to us in the realm of time and space, is a different reality than what we are used to in our realm of time and space. This constructs for us an area of safeguard: WHO WE KNOW GOD AS, WHAT HE HAS AND DOES SHOULD NOT BE LINKED TO TIME. TIME AND GOD ARE DIFFERENT REALITIES.
I have lived to see prophetic ministries plunge and take a nose – dive, because of trying to fixate God in a cyclic motion of prediction, trying to conjure His “next move”. It ought not to be so. Let us pick an example. Time moves in a line. It is linear,(that is, from this realm of the sun). We move in terms of yesterday, today and tomorrow; past, present and future. This is in the realm of time and space. So our patterns of thinking and making decisions, either personal or corporate depend on repeated patterns of past trends. If we “look” back and “see” and recognize a trend or a pattern in the past, we tend to use that trend to predict future occurrences and consequently re-enact the same event again, and to some extent, in religious circles, this is basically what many call, REVIVALS. But in the real sense of it, it may not be the doing of God. Actually, God may be a million miles away from what the people may be calling “the doing of God”. It may well be a cyclic occurrence being duplicated by extrapolation of past studied events to see their beach - heads and doing them again, just that this time, we call it “a move of God”. In the real sense of the happening, it’s just a revival, a revitalisation. 'Revival' as a word is a construct of two words, 're-' (which means, 'again' or 'once more') and 'viva'(which is latin for 'life' or 'essence'.)
So, it is a re- vitalisation of the life - essence of something that was dead, and in most cases, killed by God Himself. This is an activity cultivated around the philosophy constructed by the notions of predictive futures based on extrapolated past occurrences. So, we tend to study the past, learn its lessons, observe the patterns that repeat themselves in that past, and then look in the present to search for to see if we can recognize the patterns of the present as a reflection of the way things have been. So we enter into this cyclic quargmire, from which we will never redeem ourselves and our predictions. What happens if we are led by such assumptions? We will continue to observe recurring patterns in the present from our observation of the past, then move on to infer the future by the way of extrapolating past, overlaid by the present, inferentially leaping towards the conclusions of the future. So in the arenas of law and in legal fields, such names as 'precedence' come into play. Precedence, by the way, is an earlier decision, case or action that is regarded as an example or rule to be followed in similar circumstances later.
We end up inferring a cyclical nature to processes operating in a linear way.
Knowing that man thinks this way in time and space, how does God communicate eternal truths from the realm of eternity?
Chapter 2.
“BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC, OBSERVATIONAL METHOD AND DIVINE REVELATION, WHICH DO WE FOLLOW IN THE PROPHETICS?”
This may be the stern distinction between two schools of thought concerning prophetic matters. Pure observation, which we can also call scientific method of study of past events, has one limitation; it does not necessarily see how the patterns become fuller, complete, when they repeat themselves. Scientific method only recognizes the repeated events. But there is an increasing mass of happenings associated with the recurring of a thing, so that the thing recurring paint a complete picture of itself by dropping pieces of the complete picture each time it recurs.
As for revelation, the repetition of an event brings with it recognition of the additional piece of the Eternal picture, making the picture more coherent than it was before the piece left the dimension of eternal into time.
AN EXAMPLE FROM THE BIBLE.
GENESIS 4:3 – 5 – Abel’s atonement.
And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of His flock and the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering;
but unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect. And Cain was very angry and his countenance fell.
- Authorised Version.
From this scripture piece, Abel sacrifices a lamb to atone his sins. And the same scripture tells us that his sacrifice was accepted.
Now, if we were to look at this piece of bible story against nothing else behind it as a background of history, and with nothing else as a precedent, nothing else before it to grant interpretation to the activities of the two sons, what do we have? What we have is basically a case of a man, whose sacrifice was accepted, and whose brother’s was rejected and God knows we can’t tell why. That’s the much we know, if that’s the only part of that episode. By the way, Cain’s sacrifice was not rejected because he offered something from the ground that God cursed. The lamb ate green grass from the same cursed ground. That’s not our point anyway.
Fast – forward. We enter the situation of Abraham and Isaac. The boy was supposed to be offered, but he is not. A substitute ram (lamb, if you like) is caught by its horns in a thicket and is offered instead. Fast – forward again. We enter Egypt, and we encounter the visitation of the plagues upon Egypt, but the excusing of the Israelites by the applying of the blood of the lamb on their door posts and lintels. Are you now seeing a paradigm of understanding being setup?
Then a directive comes, an order by its virtue that they are to do this yearly, to eat the lamb annually to keep a certain picture alive before them of something that is to come. So it was not just about the eating of the meat. By the time you are in Egypt, eating the Passover lamb, you already have a precedent of Abraham and of Abel, way before that. So, we ask ourselves, what was the lamb for?
The lamb they were to “frame” and keep in memory was only a picture, not the thing itself. It was a precedence of a greater thing to come. So, all these were pieces of an eternal picture which God was dropping in time and space until the complete picture took shape and could be seen. What picture was God painting? By accepting Abel’s lamb, what is God painting?
John 1:35, 36.
Again, the next day John stood, and two of his disciples; and, looking upon Jesus as He walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
This is becoming interesting. When John is talking of a Lamb, he is not pointing to a four – legged creature. He is pointing at Jesus Christ, who he had baptised the previous day. So, by God dropping prophetic pieces from eternity, He was painting the picture of what John saw that day by the sides of The Jordan. It was to make it easy for everybody by the banks of The Jordan to know the New Season. The New Season they had been waiting for since the season of Abel had finally arrived.
No longer would they have to sacrifice four – legged creatures which could not remove sin. The Old Testament sin – taking lamb was a picture of Jesus. Jesus was the picture, the Old Testament lamb of sin – taking or atonement was the type and shadow. The sad thing is, even after Jesus died on the Cross, some still continue with the religion of the four – legged creature. How absurd!
Is there something we are learning? In the realm of the prophetic, when the fullness of the thing prophesied reveals itself, or when more of its picture is revealed, then the types and shadows go to the backstage. The reality takes centre stage. Why? The types and shadows serve preparatory functions in getting us up to where we can anticipate that God is going to do something. How does the New Season come? It comes when God does that thing that represents in time and space changes that fit into the eternal picture. In the New Season, types and shadows give way to the substantive reality.
WHAT ARE THE ROOTS OF SCIENTIC OBSERVATION?
CASE STUDY: MAYAN CALENDAR.
The Mayan civilisation was credited and known for (among other things) the development of the Mayan calendar. It was framed in such a way that you could use it to predict future events. The Mayans observed that, there were occurrences in human events that tended to repeat themselves and become increasingly complex and more involved as they went on. Their culture enabled this, unlike today’s society.
Their society was organised and maintained by an order of kings and priests. The kings provided all of what the priests needed for sustenance to maintain their focus of observing the heavens. And the priests were by and large a class of people who replenished it from offspring of priests.
Their culture was fixed, permitting the same class of people to occupy certain roles and maintain continuity; sons of priests were priests, sons of kings were kings.
By this, they produced a continuum that is impossible today that can only be maintained by chronological records, not by technology, being kept and people studying these records. So, each class of people lived the reality of those recorded things as much an assignment and purpose in these ancient societies.
So by this, they were able to observe – from one generation to another, to keep records generationally, observe cycles in nature and to conclude that these cycles in nature allowed for predicting future events based on past events. Today, Mayan prophecies are still current fashion – the vogue of many societies especially the Western and the Americas. But as we have seen, this process would be limited to what might be known by scientific or observation method.
Chapter 3.
“WHAT DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT DO?”
What we are decoding is much greater that this; in fact, incomparable. It is remotely connected to the work of the Holy Spirit. The example of the Mayan civilisation is to point out that, even though humans don’t acknowledge God, and a vast majority are naturalists, God still puts His message in nature to take grasp of their finite minds.
What can be known about God is plain to them, because God made it plain to them. Since the beginning of the world, the unseen qualities of God -- His unseen power and His divinity -- could be clearly seen and understood from what God made. They have no excuse.
- Romans 1:19, 20. The International English Bible New Testament (2001), IEB.
The recent upheaval by tidal waves is indication of creation revolting against humans that dwell on the planet. Tropical cyclones ravaging villages and cities; fissures on the Earth’s crust releasing molten lava. Birth pangs? No. Mere inception of greater things. The labour is still to come.
For us who believe in a Living God and the work of the Holy Spirit, we see a far more complex picture than merely the careful observation of cyclic occurrences in nature; we see the mind of the Lord, as He reveals the eternal picture assembling it in time in very specific alignment of pieces. Religious alignments to political powers? Happened before? Of course! It has happened in scriptures and in history. And every time it happened, it allowed for the silencing of the voice of prophecy. Didn’t this same alignment seek to silence Christ? It’s not new. The stage has been set for the man of lawlessness – that serpentine dimension, the antichrist, not a human being, as in one, but a motivation against the advancement of the purposes of Christ.
My dear friends, many false prophets are now in the world. So, don't believe every spirit. Test the spirits to see whether they are from God. This is how you can recognize God's Spirit: One Spirit says, "I believe that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus came to earth and became a human being." That Spirit is from God. Another spirit refuses to say this about Jesus. That spirit is not from God. This is the spirit of the enemy of Christ. You have heard he was coming and now he is already in the world!
- 1 John 4:1 – 3. The International English Bible New Testament (2001), IEB. Underlines mine.
This motivation against the Kingdom advancement has sought from the beginning to release without measure demonic rule on Earth trying to eat the male child at His birth.
¶And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
- Revelation 2; 1 – 5. King James Version. (1611). Underlines mine.
That is why, in the restoration process of God, He ordained that the Spirit of Christ would rest inside human spirits, making the humans, God’s dwelling place. That’s the will of God.
¶Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world:
therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
- 1 John 4: 4 – 6. King James Version. (1611). Underlines mine.
But, just like it has happened in the past, many, in fact, the vast majority have been caught unawares. They have focused on externalities instead of realising that the gospel is in fact, not God with us, but Christ – in – us.
This is the secret that was kept hidden from generations and for ages, but now it has been made clear to God's holy people. God wanted them to make clear the meaning of the glorious wealth of this secret in people who are not Jewish. The secret is Christ in you; he is the hope of glory. We proclaim Christ. We use every kind of wisdom to teach and warn every person. We want to present every person to God perfect in Christ. This is what I am working for. Using all the energy that he exercises so powerfully in me, I am struggling to do this.
- Colossians 1:26 – 29. The International English Bible, New Testament (2001), IEB. Underlines mine.
The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints,
To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Whom we are preaching; guiding and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that every man may be complete in Christ; And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.
- Colossians 1:26 – 29. Bible in Basic English. (1949).
Up to this day, a vast majority of Christians still focus on Jerusalem as the centre stage of end time events. Others, who are more ardent and devoted, pay money to Christian agencies so that they could take a trip to “walk where Jesus walked.”
See how the spirit of the age takes men for a ride and consequently take hold of them without their conscious knowledge? What’s the difference between a Christian, going to “walk where Jesus walked” and a Muslim who takes a pilgrimage to Mecca? Same spirit that is antichrist.
When people hear such stuff, they tend to freak out and be scared, especially the Christians. Leads me to wonder, “What Spirit motivates you, spirit of fear?” Raising the prophetic radar higher, how do we interpret the episodes in scriptures and also the ones in human existence in the light of the pieces exiting eternity and put together in proper places in time and space?
DECODING GENESIS 2: 18 – 22.
And the LORD God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help fit for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them into Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam called names of all the cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help fit for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and He slept: and He took one of His ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
- Authorised Version.
This is a reference to how God created woman out of man. He put Adam into a “deep sleep”. This is a reference to death. How do I know this?
Because of a principle in scripture, where a seed abiding alone can’t produce. But if it dies, it produces a harvest.
By the way, you can’t know this episode as referring to death of a seed unless you capture other pieces of the eternal picture. That’s beside the point. Adam dies, a God – induced death; God removes a rib from his side, makes Eve, brings her to the resurrected man and Adam said, “...This is now flesh of my flesh and bones of my bones, she shall be called woman because she’s taken out of man.”
If that’s all we know about the story, then it’s a nice, romantic, poetic piece of literature, of a young man willing to die for his wife. But that’s neither here nor there. It holds no water, not unless there’s something we are to know in this. Fast - forward. Paul captures and pulls in something interesting in line with this.
For this cause shall a man leave His father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church
- Ephesians 5:31, 32. Authorised Version.
So, in Genesis 2:24, an eternal piece falls into time. Paul captures the complete picture through the ages and he’s now telling us that the reason why God created the woman the way He did, was to reveal a mystery. This shows us who are alive today the nature of how God works. When He did that (creating the woman), He was working from a full picture, the completely assembled picture of all things in the eternal.
But He drops the pieces; the creation of the woman was a dropping of an eternal piece into time and space. What then was the message?
Chapter 4.
“THE WOMAN SAYS WHAT?”
In the whole of scriptures, there are only two instances where scriptures speak of mans side being opened;
1. Adam’s side.
2. The Lord Jesus Christ’s side.
Your eyes are bulging out! You’ve seen it? Now, whoever’s side was opened the last is the full picture of the first piece. It explains to us why the woman was created the way God did. There’s an interesting piece of scripture here!
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He has consecrated for us, through the veil, this is to say, His flesh.
- Hebrews 10:19, 20. Authorised Version.
This means one thing; the opening of Adam’s side through his death becomes an old and dead way by the initiation of the complete picture through Christ’s death. The woman is sending to us a message. The message is that,”It is possible under the divine hand of God, to take me out of the side of a man. He can take a rib out of the side of man and make a woman.” Now, exit mythology and vain arguments, once you assume that God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, all of which He is, what is it exactly that He doesn’t know what to do, and doesn’t have potency to accomplish?
By this alone, God negates the natural process of things, because, in nature, man comes out of a woman’s body at birth. But God, taking woman out of a man’s side, there’s a blinking light we need to find its meaning. It is shedding light on something supernatural. He does something above the natural in that He does it by His own hand, but in the real sense, it is supposed to happen in nature. Get it?
So, when something like this happens, lights are on. It’s for a sign; it is telling us something in the future. It does foreshadow of a bigger reality. You get this, then you will see strange things in scriptures, but not completely mysterious. There are things in nature, which are supernaturally natural. For example, Adam died to give rise to Eve. But he didn’t remain dead. God raised him up again. It is he that says, “...bone of my bones” and so on. So resurrection of the dead is not a natural thing. It’s not natural for the dead to live. But in nature, the supernatural happens naturally.
When a dead thing is raised up again, then its existence is meant to teach us something of mystery about God. By mystery, I do not mean something that can’t be known. I mean, something hidden, to be revealed at a specified time. God’s mysteries are not to remain in the domain of mysteries. They are the food of the children of the Kingdom you know.
He takes five loaves and two fish and feeds five thousand men, besides women and children. That’s not natural. But it happens in nature. You take what people eat, what they are familiar with, use it to reflect divine glory. This is the way of God. This is the way of prophecy.
This is the way the Body of Christ is to understand things. The signposts of God are natural, to show us where the mysteries are hidden. The reason He uses natural things is because, natural things will always catch the attention of man. We are humans, in time and space. When He speaks this way, it’s only in shadows. It’s until the reality comes that the shadow is explained by the reality.
So, in the earlier picture, the Lamb that is to be sacrificed to take away the sin of the world is washed by the prophet John in the River Jordan. Just like the Old Testament lamb was. The priest in the Tabernacle took the lamb, examined it to see whether it had any physical defects, then put his hand on its head confessing the sins of the people, then plunge a knife into its heart, cut it out, split the animal in two, wash its entrails before burning it on the altar. See how John did it? He was righteously a priest, born in a family of priests. Both his father and mother were Aaronic – Luke 1:5.
So, in this complete picture, the priest examines the Lamb, this time, not a four – legged creature. After confirming that He has no defects, he places his hand on His head and washes Him in readiness for sacrifice. See the picture? John, being a priest by right of birth saw the coming of the Lamb and prepared the way of His entrance. He prophesied by his actions, the road ahead for the Lamb of God, Who was the sacrifice. The Lamb is offered to God.
We have the killing of the Lamb bringing life. The Innocent, the Mild, the Humble brings life. In the dimension of time and space, it usually is the other way round.
If you kill the guilty, the violent, the insolent, the brag, you infuse the society with life by preserving what the bad guy would have destroyed through repression and murders. By this alone, we can already see the end – product of a heightened democratic philosophy. It is anarchy and every man doing that which is good in his own sight. That’s why democratic processes can never be a servant of the will of God. No wonder democratic arenas are heading towards secular humanism, Eastern philosophies and the One World government.
But as in the case of Christ, when you kill the One who doesn’t harm anyone and it brings life, it seems like a mystery. So, in comes Christ. He is meek and lowly. He perfectly submits Himself to God and gives Light and Life to all mankind by the power of His own indestructible Life.
Adam is put into a “deep sleep” and a rib is taken out of him. This turns the event into a supernatural thing. If there’s nothing else beyond we know about this from scripture, it ends as such; a poetic, good story.
But that’s not the end of it. The Second Adam comes and dies on the cross. A certain centurion (legend calls him Longenious) comes and pierces the side of Jesus as He hangs on the cross. Where else did we see this? God pierced Adam’s side, Of course! You are right.
THE WOMAN IN HER PLACE.
What does this say about the Last Adam? The woman is inserted into the wound. But this has nothing to do with human females being stuffed into a wound.
The wound was the size of a spear – head, the Latin word “lonkea” which meant, “The size of a man’s hand”. Definitely, you can’t force an adult female through an opening of that sort on the side of an adult man. Many won’t agree anyway.
The spear that perforated Christ’s side was God’s hand, fixing the wife back to the Husband. It was God’s doing, to bring the Bride of Christ to God’s presence by her relating or being “re – membered” to her husband in a marital estate. By this alone, a clear message comes out, the Husband and wife have the same destiny; but I’m speaking of Christ and the Church. Where Christ is, presently, there is the Church. Where Church is, there is Christ. (Or should I say, there’s where the Church is supposed to be?) Are you seeing the supernatural in the natural?
The thing that is true from the realm of the eternal is that the Bride of Christ is brought to the presence of the Father through the agency of her Husband, Who is Christ Jesus. So, the two become one flesh and this is the mystery spoken of in Ephesians 5. So, do you see why the scriptures say the same experience of the Head is the same for the Body?
I am the vine, ye are the branches. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you.
- John 15:5, 18. A.V.
Chapter 5.
“THE TABERNACLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A CANVAS!”
The Tabernacle, and consequently The Temple in Jerusalem is one of the massive of symbols and types that we find in scriptures. Hebrews 8 in my bible, The Authorised Version has the writer’s heading put to it. It reads, “Because the Aaronic priests served the shadows of which Christ serves the realities”. Hmmm!
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; wherefore, it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law.
- Hebrews 8:3, 4. A.V.
He speaks of “another priest” appearing in the place of the other priests who served at a sanctuary in time and space which was only “a copy and a shadow”, in other words, “a piece of the eternal picture” in heaven. You remember, Moses was warned to build according to “the pattern” in heaven? So, the full picture, of which is Christ Jesus makes the Mosaic tabernacle old and obsolete.
The new, is now founded on better promises, a covenant more superior to theirs and a mediator that is eternal. It’s a permanent sanctuary. His own Body is; the Body of which we corporately are.
In the prophetic dimensions, God operates as an artist. Much like a painter or a skilled sculptor. His pictures and His carvings, already complete in heaven, but dropped piece – by – piece, are a prophetic pre – figurement of what is about to come.
A photo of a loved one is not the loved one, but a limited, two – dimensional model of the person. When you meet the real person, you realise how limited the pictorial, two – dimensional representation of the person was. So, in the prophetic dimension, the eternal reality comes with broader dimensions, more complete in presence, and in power; both in authority and in magnitude.
These eternal realities come to impact the earth in a way that the pieces never did. That’s why we need to see the eternal dimension to begin with.
FROM ETERNITY INTO TIME
Chapter 6.
“YOU SAID, ‘NEW SEASON’. HOW DO THESE ‘SEASONS’ COME?”
When I was in school, high school, that is, I came across a subject that dealt with the study of the planet especially the Geo part of it. Segments of this study entailed the examination of seasons and the changes that came with the earth’s rotation around the sun. So, four seasons emerged, these being, Summer, Autumn, Spring and Winter. These characterised what happened in the physical, as pertains to weather patterns. The change in season affected what happened from the types of vegetation that grew, through the way people dressed, to how animals behaved. Some of the animals shed off some skin, scales or whatever their covering was. Others changed colour, while the rest changed physical locations; a concept called migration.
In the same manner, the earth is in a New Season. This time, it’s not a physical season characterised by changes in weather.
It’s not any of Autumn, Winter, Spring or Summer. It’s a Heavenly Season, a Divine Season. What I mean by Divine Season is, things have changed in such a way that they will never go back again to the way they have been. We have arrived to a moment in time for the executing and fulfilment of divine mandate. But what’s all that about, “New Season”?
Since 1990’s, coming towards the 2000’s, prophetic voices all over the world began to prophesy a certain frequency, a certain sound. The sound said that a New Season was coming and that we were now transitioning from what was, to a totally new thing. What was, the season through which these prophetic soundings came was the Charismatic Season. By the time we came to 1990s, the voices all over the world were saying that we were moving to another realm of interaction with God. A new epoch was being opened. How do they appear? When a new epoch appears in God’s revelation of divine happenings and purposes, the Holy Spirit sensitizes the prophets.
Surely the LORD God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secrets unto His servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The LORD God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
- Amos 3: 7, 8. King James Version.
The prophets are the first in God’s economy to capture God’s will and to speak this will in pictures that can be discerned by men. So, we are saying, every New Season has an emphasis and it requires or it comes with a demand to migrate in all what was in the previous Season into the New. It becomes imperative for everyone who is in pursuit of God’s purposes to access the New Season.
It’s safe to say at this point that, when there is a New Season, all the things of the former season that have survived and have not been tainted by humanistic ideology and philosophy, mutate to a different understanding.
By mutating, I mean, the change happens in the structure of the thing, affecting how that thing manifests and operates on the outside.
For example; during the 90s, in the Charismatic Season, there was an emphasis on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and especially the issue of personal prophecy. By personal prophecy, I mean, people, individuals were instructed and trained to hear the voice of the Spirit and to speak what the Spirit said. The problem was they were not taught how to hear the voice of the Spirit in the corporate aspect of it. In the period when this happened, the gift of prophecy began to manifest in the corporate expression of the Body of Christ. The mantle of the prophet was coming into the corporate Body to speak the Mind of God and also to stream – line the way those other voices, untrained in the handling of prophetic matters released the prophecies.
Many in the Charismatic churches took this the wrong way as the “quenching of the voice of God”.
So, obviously, the mantle of the prophet wasn’t accepted in some quarters that allowed for the “free moving of the Spirit of God”, which was a major indicator of the Charismatic. Now, this releasing of the mantle of the prophet did not happen by the coining of a certain board in a meeting to begin doing ‘this thing’.
It’s the leading of the Spirit, as He supremely restores every mantle back to the corporate expression of the Church of Christ.
He does what He wills. When this happens, if you were to continue doing things the way you used to, you will find that there is no grace from God in which to do these things. It means, grace is being allocated to the doing of that which God is doing now, not what He used to do. The trick comes by people continuing to do their “revival” thing, of what used to be and still call it God; trying to resuscitate; engaging in frantic efforts and attempts at bringing back what has died. And because, most often than not, resuscitation happens mouth – to – mouth; they give it a humanistic spirit and motivation to keep it going. It’s a form of idolatry, because what stands at the end of the day is an image of man, not an image of God. It lacks God’s breath to it; it is devoid of God’s Spirit.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
- Genesis 2:7. King James Version. Underlines, mine.
¶And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
- Revelation 13:11 – 15. King James Version. Underlines, mine.
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
- 1 John 4:3. King James Version. Underlines, mine.
It is the spirit of antichrist.
When the prophets declare a New Season, the declaration has two responses. In this book, we will call them “upgrading”.
1. Those things in the previous season that are inaccurate are destroyed.
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
- Jeremiah 1:10. KJV. Underlines, mine.
That which is uprooted is replaced by plantings. That which is pulled down, destroyed, thrown down is taken over by building.
2. Those things that survive the change in season mutate to a different understanding.
Jeremiah 1: 1, 4, 5. KJV. Underlines, mine.
1. ¶The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
4.¶Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Luke 1:5 – 25, 57 – 80. KJV. Underlines, mine.
5 ¶There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
8. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
9. According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
10. And the whole multitude of the people was praying without at the time of incense.
11. And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
12. And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
13. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18. And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
20. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
21. And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
22. And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
23. And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
24. And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25. Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
57. ¶Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
58. And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
59. And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
60. And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
61. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
62. And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
63. And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
64. And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
65. And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
66. And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
67. ¶And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69. And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70. As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71. That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73. The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74. That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75. In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
76. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77. To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78. Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
80. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
In both cases, Jeremiah’s and John’s, children born in priestly families, meaning, priests themselves, become prophets to speak the Word of the LORD, at His will.
It is God that makes them prophets, not an election, nor an ordination by men.
In both cases, the priests, made prophets, are coming into the scene in specified seasons to declare the Word of the LORD, which is in essence preparatory for a greater thing. Jeremiah has within his prophetic make up the ability to uproot, pull down, destroy throw down and also to plant and to build. John has an ability to walk before or ahead of the Lord Jesus in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
In the case of Zacharias, he sees visions, things unusual to priestly houses, but normal to prophetic mantles.
Zacharias prophesies the will of God concerning the New Season which the relatives and the “namers” wanted to call by the traditions of the fathers. They had made up their minds to call this New Thing by the name of Zacharias. But the “birther” or “deliverer” of the thing, Elisabeth, called it by the name God had given it.
When they asked the father what it would be called, he responded by writing on a board what God had called this Season, John. Immediately, his mouth opened. What opened his mouth? Not God, but alignment or agreement to what God was saying. He was filled with the Holy Spirit without anyone laying hands on his head and he prophesied. He enters a new realm of interaction with God that is beyond the mediatory role he was playing as a priest in his course. He becomes a prophet of the New Season. 67. ¶And... Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69. And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70. As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
He is now uniting with the prophets to continue the Word of the LORD in the New Season.
Before this place I’m writing now, I was in a dialogue with a pastor in ministry who was decrying the deteriorating level of ministration around where he lives, and his plea was concerning the “placement” of ministers in the House of God.
To him, it appeared as though ministry now is being conducted in such a shoddy, haphazard manner without paying respect to divine manifestation of God’s order. He sees it as ministries placing people they see as fit to do what they want instead of the LORD building His own House. I highlighted to him the dilemma that people in church are in, where they have lost those days where fathers in the House used to “calibrate” their sons. Jacob, before pulling his legs to his bed to die calls all his sons and defines their destinies prophetically as he saw these destinies in God.
¶And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
- Genesis 49:1 - 2. King James Version. 1611. Underline, mine.
Zachariah (who now is a symbol of the prophetic mantle in operation) calibrates the New Season and defines its mandate;
76. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
77. To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
78. Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
79. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
These are preparatory ministrations which are ready for the fullness of time. Have you seen that?
Chapter 7.
“WHAT OF THEM THAT DO NOT ‘UPGRADE’ INTO THE NEW SEASON?”
To many people, change of Season doesn’t mean much. From one Season to another, they keep doing exactly what they have done and still call it God’s doing. The movements that these things represented often were moves of God. But when the Season changed, they remained entrenched, mutating from purposeful representations of God to things that represent their own interest. Now they call their interests God.
An Example; Moses’ Serpent.
Numbers 21:4 – 9; 2 Kings 18:1 -6. KJV. Underline, mine.
¶And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5. And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6. And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7. Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
2 Kings 18:1 ¶Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2. Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
3. And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.
4. He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
5. He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
6. For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
This is a clear picture of an environment in a changed season. There are a few things I’d wish to highlight in this account:
1. It was the LORD that sent them on this journey as a response to their cry while in Egypt.
2. It was the LORD that sent the fiery serpents among them as a response to their disobedience and grumbling.
3. When they realised that the serpents are God’s doing, and that they appeared because of their complaining, they prayed to the right Source.
4. It was the LORD that told Moses to make a brass serpent as a remedy to the bites.
Now a king comes in, many years following, and begins his reign with a purification of the nation, destroying anything that his predecessors, who were idol – worshippers had raised. Part of what he destroyed was the brass serpent that Moses, the man of God had made under God’s instructions.
It is indicated that up to that time in history, the children of Israel had formed an organised cult that sacrificed to the serpent of Moses to a point of deitising it nehushtan, “this bronze thing”. The name of that king means, “The strength of JEHOVAH”. We can infer that this king did what he did by the strength of the LORD, because we are told, “he did what was right in the sight of the LORD” – vs 3.
But of interest is what he found out to be a channel of accuracy in his ministry. Though his father was Ahaz, king of Israel, after the flesh, he negated that natural genealogical line of paternity because all his predecessors had a thing with idol - worship. He traced his channel of paternity in relationship to David, king of Israel and called him, “my paternity” – Vs. 3. It goes on to say that from that season that he began this kingdom cleansing, “he trusted in the God of Israel.” – Vs. 5.
He also followed and kept His commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. – Vs. 6.
Does it ring a bell somewhere? There are things from Moses (a previous season) which this king destroys and things from Moses that he keeps.
See, I have this day (season) set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
- Jeremiah 1:10. KJV. Emphasis, mine.
This is the activity that surrounds the New Season. Jeremiah, whose name means “the rising of Jehovah”, has a distinct job description that characterises his activities in the New Season that is tantamount for us to grasp. He has a prophet’s mantle on his life, but in the execution of his duties, we see the gracing that is beyond the jurisdiction of the prophet. It is God Himself who speaks into him, building into him the constituent ability to do the will of God.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
Jeremiah 1:17. KJV. Emphasis, mine.
This is a prophet’s mantle. To speak what he sees. But then, a different dimension of this comes in.
For, behold (now that you can see as a prophet, a seer), I have made thee this day (talking about the season) a defenced city...
- Jeremiah 1:18a. KJV. Emphasis, mine.
The ability to see things in the eternal is not the end. It is the initial or the inception of our dealings with God. At a particular point, God asked Jeremiah, “What do you see?” God was calibrating and shaping the focus of His seer.
Yes, he had the ability to rise with the rising of the LORD. But it was imperative for him to see what God was seeing. When he saw accurately, God’s next move was execution of what He was saying, or should I say, showing.
¶Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
- Jeremiah 1:11- 12 KJV. Underlines, mine.
Accurate seeing is validated by performance of what is seen. That’s why, in the New Season, there’s need to have people who see when the Season has set in, and a people to execute what is seen; of which they don’t have to be a different people from the ones that see. This is because, what is usually seen is a command to do. That’s why he, Jeremiah, talking about a confrontational season, is made into a defenced city. There will be external attacks from stratified systems, bent against the advancement of the will of God in the land. This is the manifestation of the religious Pharisee spirit.
Again Jesus went into a synagogue. A man with a crippled hand was there. Some Jewish leaders were waiting to see if Jesus would heal the man on the Sabbath day. They wanted to see Jesus do something wrong, so that they could accuse him.
Immediately, the Pharisees and the followers of Herod Antipas left. They began to make a plot to kill Jesus
-Mark 3:1, 2, 6. The International English Bible New Testament (2001), IEB. Underlines mine.
The fortification of this defenced city therefore has to do with a mental state. “...gird up your loins and arise...” - Jeremiah 1: 17. It is a built up mental frame that wards off any suggestive insistence on compromising the direct commands of God in the Season. It is neither the time nor the place for suggestive dialogue that has in it the nature of relegating the commands of God into suggestions for a ‘better life’ in the physical.
God tells the Season, “I have made thee this day a defenced city...” City in this situation means, your source of supply will be inside yourself. A city; having all the systems that sustains life within you. Why? Everyone else will be up - in –arms against you.
“...and an iron pillar...” an established permanent standard. Iron suggests the nature that resists denudation and external corruption. Pillar, by its merit, is a column, pointing to a standing, a platform. It’s a Hebrew word, ammud, indicating the nature of abiding, being appointed, being fixed. It also means, to arise, to establish, to employ, to continue, to dwell. All these verbs indicate that once the iron pillar is set, there is no indication that there’ll be a time when it will be removed. It’s an eternal planting.
I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Ecclesiastes 3:14. KJV. Underlines, mine.
Jeremiah is also ...a brazen wall against the whole land...Vs. 18. This is an indication that the nature of the building set by the Season is against a time or season of judgement. There is a careful aspect of the nature of the work of building in the Season because, we have to be cautious not to repeat or replicate the excesses and misconduct that was apparent in the previous Seasons.
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
- 1 Corinthians 3:10. KJV. Underlines, mine.
Paul doesn’t say, “...let every man take heed what he buildeth...” What is to be built is already apparent. Ephesians 4:13 says... Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ...
The same chapter verse 15 reads... may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
So, the question is not what we build, as to how we build.
We build according to the grace of God given. Neither human ingenuity nor opinions of a board comes into this building. God is raising a wall, a brass wall, a building against a certain Season of judgement.
It’s the same situation in Noah’s time; building against a season of judgement. What if God was to speak to you today, for the first time, and gives you an express command to build something you have never built before, against a certain day of flooding you have never experienced, nor anyone of your ancestors, and the next time you will hear from Him will be not less than 120 years? I promise you many would not follow Him to that extent. Many a people of today, that purport to follow God would give up in between, wouldn’t they?
But for the next 120 years, daily, Noah (which represents 8 persons) built what God showed him, and his obedience to do exactly what God said or showed, became not only his salvation, but also the judgement of the disobedient.
¶And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive (‘diyn’ in Hebrew, meaning, to rule, to judge as an umpire, contend as in law, execute judgement, plead the cause of )with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah:
Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

“WHAT ABOUT REVELATION?”
1 Corinthians 3:13 – 17. KJV. Underlines, mine.
13. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16. ¶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
With all this in mind, how do we know we are in the New Season? Quite an authentic question. I met an elder of a certain community some few kilometres from my place of residence and that was the question that was ringing in his mind. Church, as it is now has evidences of how brittle and lifeless it has become. Everybody knows that.
Rarely do I meet a new person, than I hear, in our conversations, all the shades and colours of how disenchanted and disoriented they have come to be with the church; I’m talking of those who claim salvation and the leading of the Holy Spirit. It’s much worse if you ask why the “unchurched” are not in the gatherings of those who are the saints. But what’s happening today is that you will occasionally have some group that is excited, and so excites people based upon some “new thing” that they are propagating. But upon careful scrutiny, you come to realise that it’s no more than an emphasis, at most. It’s not the genuine thing. The majority of cases, it’s not anything genuine. It’s just another way of artfully repackaging the old things and to roll them out again as a “new thing”, using a mixture of popular personalities and loads of marketing strategy.
That’s why the present environment of the church is filled with “importation” of popular charismatic preachers (and by charismatic, I mean, those who can pull the crowds and produce ‘goose bumps’), merchandising the anointing (because they are people sensitive, not God centred), and are basically competing for the market in a locality through pop – psychology and publicity – stunts. No wonder you can’t demarcate the authentic life of Christ from the popular world view in many congregations today. So, you’ll hear people talking about how “cool” their preacher is, or what impact their sermons have had on them, both in the market and the local media, how wonderful ‘this’ or ‘that’ fellow is, rather than the real issue.
It is safe to say at this juncture that personality presence and publicity stunts are an indication that what is being said is not authentic. This is the reason why many people don’t examine what is being said by the ‘pop – psychologists’ in the name of ‘men of God’, beyond what they say. The Bereans had a way of gravitating nobility because they sat down with scriptures daily to verify whether what was being said was authentic or not. – Acts 17: 10, 11. This is a culture that is lacking in the current state of things in the church. So, all things ought to be examined beyond the excitement of the pulpit – preacher.
Chapter 9.
“WHICH POINTERS TO THE NEW SEASON?”
Let me try and reveal something that I think God is revealing. It is my hope that by this revelation, you will be able to access the New Season in God and leave these other inordinate things behind, that have no strength in them, no purpose of God to them; just other “new ways” to socialise around a common heritage of going to church.
At the onset of the Season of God;
a). There ought to be the accessing of the New Season. We call it migration.
b). There ought to be the leaving behind of those things that have no strength in them.
c). There ought to be the exodus from those things that have no purpose of God attached to them.
d). There ought to be a leaving of structures that are just forms of socialising around the tradition of what God did in the past, and just “going to church”.
Even in nature, when seasons change, animals migrate.
It’s a demand for survival. In the change of season, migration or failure to migrate is the difference between survival and not surviving. That’s in nature. I’m convinced that you will see in this Season, failure of many churches to migrate; denominational mega church complexes and their progenies failing to come into God’s Season and leave behind their vested processes based on a market share economy and they will be extinct as relates to God’s will.
In this New Economy (‘oikonomia’ in Greek, meaning dispensation, not like time – frames, but much like to dispense, to dish out) ability to be uptime with God determines whether or not you will represent Him and His will. You see, in the Kingdom of God, it’s about representation; God being the King, sending you, and I emphasize, sending you, to speak on His behalf. Many church things that are today are not the voice of God, as we are speaking now. They are shadowy evidences that there once was life in them, just like the monstrous dinosaurs’ bones in the museums.
That’s why these churches have to compete who has what: the biggest minister’s car, the largest congregation, miracles, sound systems, music bands etc. It’s already a public affair.
In the New Season, validation does not come from these externalities. The building is the validation of the builder. He who builds is God.
¶ If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.
- Psalms 127:1 Bible In Basic English. (1949).
If you are to build, you co – labour with Him. He has the pattern; we read and implement His pattern.
¶Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 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: and then shall every man have praise of God.
- 1 Corinthians 4:1. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
¶For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
- 1 Corinthians 3:11. King James Version. 1611.
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
¶Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
- 2 Corinthians 3: 5 - 6. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
Understanding the Seasons in general.
We began by saying that there are two realms; the realm of time and the realm of “no time”, eternal. Eternity is the reality, while time is the invention. Born into time, we the creatures of eternity tend to think that time is the reality and everything else as myth. Time is only a set, a stage for rolling out eternal things. So before there was time, there was eternity. Time began when God created lights in the firmament of the heaven for signs, seasons, days and years.
¶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. 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: and God saw that it was good.
- Genesis 1:14 – 18. King James Version. 1611.
Before that, before the beginning, there was God. This means that time is an invention of eternity.
¶<< A Prayer of Moses the man of God. >> Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
- Psalms 90:1- 2. King James Version. 1611.
Eternal or eternity in scriptures has at least 3 meanings of ever – increasing measure;-
1. An age.
2. From age to age.
3. Age upon age or endless ages.
This is the concept. When something eternal leaves that domain into a particular age, it manifests in that age for as long as that age remains but that thing remains eternal. It is a Greek term, eion. It means eternal matter or substance exiting eternity to find manifestation or expression in a particular season.
Let me show you an example by asking a question;
Who is greater, David or Christ? You are right, say it loud. Though Christ would be fixed in the family line of David the king, and would sit on David’s throne, David, being a prophet sees Christ coming in the future, captures the messianic throne in picture, in the spirit dimension, expressed it in the physical as a type and a shadow. But the Christ would rest on a man, Jesus of Nazareth, born in the family tree of David the Bethlehemite.
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli...Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,
- Luke 3:23, 31. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
Though He is born in time after David, He has eternal value. So, Jesus sits on David’s throne as long as time exists. If there’s no time, the operation of Jesus being a ruler has to supersede the dimensions of Davidic throne because Davidic throne is in time and space but, He, the Christ is eternal. So, the eternal remains and the timely passes by.
¶<> The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
- Psalms 110:1. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
¶A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
- Psalms 110:1. Young’s Literal Bible. 1881. YLT.
David is capturing matters as he is in the Spirit. You see, we have been trained to think Psalms as writings just because they are called such in the Hebrew Bible. No. These are prophetic words on musical instruments. So in Psalm 110, David is in a song, and the spirit unites with his spirit allowing him to see things eternal. Here, David calls Jesus, My Lord. He then continues to unveil the dimensions of the Lordship of Jesus, verses 2 – 7.
Of interest is, he is calling someone, who will be born at least 600 years down his lineage, who rightfully is “David’s son” by that, He calls Him, “My Lord”. This means, in the dimensions of time, in the limitations of time and space the messianic throne focused on the expression of the throne of David. David therefore, in time and space becomes an expression of an eternal picture, though a man, born in the family of Jesse. See that? So, David’s throne is validated by Christ’s eternal, timeless, endless authority. David therefore, when he appears on the throne, he puts into time an expression of an eternal picture and an eternal value which is the rule and the authority of an Eternal King appointed by God. That’s why, even though Jesus is the son of David in time and space, in that, He is born after David, in his lineage, He is David’s Lord. So David calls “his Son”, “my Lord...my God”. With this in mind, you can see how prophets operate in the New Season. Psalm 45 is full of riches of prophetic grace. He says, “I speak of things which I have made touching the King; my tongue the pen of a ready writer”.
So he begins to write, I mean, speak prophetic utterances in a song concerning Christ His Son. He defines the occupancy of Christ in a dimension that is above ‘the children of men’ – vs. 2. He unveils dimensions in Him as a fighter who girds Himself with ‘a sword on His thigh’, but the sword is defined by truth, meekness and righteousness. He describes battle, with arrows flying in all directions, but the King’s arrows hitting at the ‘hearts of the King’s enemies’. He defines His government as a perpetual, ‘forever and ever’ throne.
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
- Psalms 68:23, 24. King James Version. 1611.
He sees the levels of Christ’s Kingdom conquest, all His enemies lying in pools of blood and calls Him, ‘...my God, my King...’
¶While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
- Matthew 22:41 – 46. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
This says, while David points ahead to the rule and reign of Christ, he, David is the shadow and type, while Christ is the picture.
For us to appreciate this picture, in the fullness of time, God puts first a visual presentation – a prophetic caption, a word picture of the eternal things before these things hit time. What he shows is not the thing itself, but a representative aid. This aid is what the prophets see and document as was seen in the realm of the Spirit, in natural terms. So you hear prophets speaking of ‘...I saw what appeared like...’ or ‘...a sound as of...’ – Revelation 1: 10; 4:1, etc. When the prophetic caption is caught or captured, the real thing itself does not come with the caption; the thing itself will come later after people have been made ready and aware by the representative aid.
¶ I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
- Habakkuk 2:1 – 3. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
The prophet is told to record the vision. The reason for this is because, it takes shape in a season, and much different from the time the thing is declared. Strange statements like ‘watching to see what ...is said, writing the vision’ etc, are used. Leads me to ask, what is the job description of a prophet between the capturing of the representative aid and the moment the reality hits?
The Prophet In The New Season.
His job description does not end by him speaking what he sees or hears. Actually, after seeing and hearing, that’s when his job begins. His resume will include ‘breaking down’ what was heard into ‘chewable’ or consumable bits and uses these bits to teach his ‘audience’ as to make it ready for the reality that is to come in the future.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
- Malachi 4: 5 – 6. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
¶Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. ¶And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
- Luke 3:1 – 20. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
So John becomes the embodiment of the spirit of Elijah the prophet and practically breaks down the message of ‘turning the hearts of fathers to children and children to fathers’. This is Repentance. Therefore, it was not just by the act of going into the water, it was by a reformation of the penitent’s ways that showed the truth or what he called ‘fruits worthy of repentance’- vs. 8.
So, God first sends the representative aid to the humans to point to the reality which is the full picture. Many ask me, “How do we know when the New Season has come?” So long as you have the shadow, the reality has not yet come.
John 3:22 ¶After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
The reality increases, while the shadow decreases. But the problem with us is we tend to be fixated on the shadow. John continued to baptise even after Jesus came baptising. The shadow ‘refused’ to exit. It was locked out and later beheaded.
How do you know when it comes? That’s the reason we have prophets, isn’t it? Though that’s the noun, prophet, their work is to actually ‘see’. In the context of them having this ability, they are referred to as ‘seers’. This is because they have the ability to see matters as they happen in the spirit realm. What then is the difference between the audience, on who the prophet declares the New Season, and the audience, who gets to hear about the New Season?
We have said, the thing that is, is the reality. This is in the realm of the eternal or heaven. Time and space is the stage for rolling out the thing that is to happen. But before it happens, its more like the mist, smoke or haze. It is unclear. But the thing is already complete and clear in the eternal. In this eternal realm, God is, not lives, but is.
Here, He knows all, the end from the beginning, and He has titles that accompany that ability;
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia;
unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
- Revelation 1:11. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
Alpha and Omega are two letters of the Greek alphabet, just the same way we have A and Z in the English. It means, God’s point of view is the complete view, the real view, the eternal view. He sees much different from us, yet calls us to see from His dimension of sight. The best we can see is dimly, like in a smoking glass.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
- 1 Corinthians 13:12. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
We have a temporal, limited, hazy, earthly and a view seen from the vantage point of time.
So, God elevates the prophet to His point of view. He begins to see what God sees. John is told by God, ‘come up here’.
¶After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
- Revelation 4:1, 2. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
The dispensationalists quote this as a reference to ‘the capturing away of the saints – the Rapture’, as they call it.
They can’t be far away from the truth concerning these things. It has nothing to do with such a capturing away of anybody. It has to do with John’s personal experience. He was seeing these things while he was in solitary confinement on an isle called Patmos, by the way, on Earth. But that’s for another day. The issue is elevation of the prophet to see. Re – calibration of his sight faculties to see as God sees.
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
- Jeremiah 1: 10 – 14. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
Jeremiah, though his name points to the rising of God, could not receive the definition of what happen until he saw accurately, or saw what God saw.
So, in the New Season, a prophet is not validated only by his word coming to pass according to how he predicted, as to him having the ability to see what God sees. The concern is not to ‘prove’ that God spoke to him, or the word coming to pass, but being on the same sight – level with the One Who grants the vision; meaning, his character and the character of the Vision – Giver are the same.
We have seen enough of self – professed prophets who come in ‘the Name of the Lord’, but their character deficiencies deter people who follow them away from the Lord into a personality cult of his making. That term, ‘in the Name of the Lord’, has nothing to do with Jesus. It has all to do with ‘the Essence’ or ‘the Nature’ of Christ.
It’s more or less like I, sending you to a shop where I am known, but you are not. So, if you are to transact any deal with the shop owner, it will be ‘in my name’, meaning, based on the reverence I have for the character of the bearer of that name. See it? We Are saying, in this Season, the mantle of the prophet and any other mantle, has to have in its coding, the character of the One Who Sends.
CHAPTER 10
IS THE ‘ETERNAL PIECE’ THE ‘REPRESENTATIVE AID’?
¶He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
- Ecclesiastes 3:11 – 14. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
I happened to board a van with this theologian who became a friend after that, and this issue of the New Season came up. It was so hot that it became the topic of discussion as we travelled on. According to him, he couldn’t see the ‘newness’ of anything that we were calling New Season.
He sees things as having been the way they have been. I tended to agree with him, except on the New things being new. His viewpoint, after analysing how he argued it out was from the vantage point of time.
Well, leads me to assert, instead of calling this happening ‘new’, why don’t we call it ‘Eternal Season’?
The pieces are falling from the eternal dimension aren’t they? This is my point. When God brings an eternal piece into time, He wants to teach us, by that piece to anticipate something fuller, of that nature, coming into time. So, I’d wish we see it as a big picture, a painting so to say, in the dimension of the eternal, but broken down like a jig – saw puzzle would be broken.
Then in the opportune time, one piece of the puzzle exits eternity, hits the realm of time, the prophet sees it, declares it, writes it down and that’s that. But as the pieces of the jig – saw fall, one by one, the eternal picture is slowly diminishing in the heavens, but gaining fuller expression in the dimension of time; much like, ‘...Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven...’ – Matthew 6:10.
At the end of the day, or ‘in the fullness of time’, the whole painting will be on earth, not in the heavens. See it?
The writer of Ecclesiastes says, “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever:” So, when a piece drops into time from the big picture in the eternity, God is saying, “there is more like that where I am. Live in the constant anticipation of the complete picture in my realm.” So He creates an environment in which you may fully experience the piece that He has brought into time, when He brings it into time. That environment in which the piece falls in is what scriptures call, ‘EDEN’.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
¶And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
- Genesis 2:7- 15. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims,
and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
- Genesis 3:23 – 24. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
Eden was not a physical place on earth. There is not a place you can walk to and come to a conclusion that “this is Eden”.
It’s an environment in time for the deposition of the eternal pieces. Once these pieces hit Edens, they remain on earth, never to be uprooted. They are perpetual plantings from God. They remain because they are from the eternal and have potent power in themselves to bring about the fullest intent of where they are coming from.
For example; God created an environment, created man out of the dust of the ground, breathed into this ‘dust – thing’ His breath; in other words, breathed ‘Himself’ into it, and man became a life – having soul; a soul containing life of God. Then God took this creature and ‘put’ him, fixed him permanently in that environment, linking, Eden and the creature’s purpose, to ‘dress it’, and ‘keep it’. When man did not keep and dress that environment, God put him out of it, to ‘till’ or ‘dress the ground from where he was taken – out – of’. Eden, meaning moment in God, was man’s abode for ever. But now, it was no longer man’s home and familiar zone. He began to mind the things of his soul. He became preoccupied with the things of ‘where he was taken – out – of’.
That’s the eternal piece in time. What’s the full picture?
Man as at today is preoccupied with the things of where he was taken out of, not the things of Eden. When the Tempter came to temp Jesus in the wilderness, what were his suggestions?
¶And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
- Luke 4:1 – 13. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
I want to suggest to you, that these three temptations offered to Jesus have been the same tricks that the enemy still sends to man up to this date. They centre on these three areas;
1. The lust of the flesh (...command this stone to be turned to bread.).
2. The lust of the eyes (...showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time).
3. The pride of life (...For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.)
To the woman in the Garden, the deal was the same.
¶Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
- Genesis 3:1 - 6. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
The woman saw three things;
1. The tree was good for food (lust of the flesh).
2. It was pleasant to the eyes (lust of the eyes).
3. It was desirable to make one wise (pride of life).
In the full picture, any fall that man has ever fallen has to do with these three essential things; any murder on this earth, every genocide that has ever happened, any bomb that has ever been made by the hand of men, its about these three things.
Isn’t it funny that animals don’t build bombs to exterminate each other, only the highest ranking of species on the planet? But that’s beside the point. Man was kicked out of his home. He has to live where he was taken out of.
That’s the eternal piece. What’s the picture in the fullness of time? RESTORATION. Jesus Christ dies on the Cross... to reconcile all things unto himself (the Father); by him (Jesus), I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you... yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
- Colossians 1:20 – 22. King James Version. 1611. Edits, mine.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
- Revelation 21:3 – 4. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
Seen that? That’s reconciliation. ‘Katallaso’, in Greek. Through change of all you see to all that the eternal pieces painted through time.
CHAPTER 11.
“DO THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR TIMES?”
Right at the beginning of the 1900’s, a hundred plus years ago, in a city called Los Angeles (take note of that, Los Angeles, City of Angels, sent ones), in a section of the city, a street called Azusa, there was an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This outpouring happened through a period of several years. I want you to remember what we found out in Ecclesiastes 3:11 -14...what God does is eternal...
This happening at Azusa reintroduced the Holy Spirit to America and the world at large through that movement. What God was doing at Azusa was making the modern church familiar again with the reality of the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues became the dominant feature of that restoration in the understanding of the church. People in the church could detect the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. During that Season, God did not hold anybody then to be responsible for any more, with respect to the Holy Spirit except that. So, in that Season, the emphasis was not on the gifts or the Five - Fold ministry or Jesus being Lord or God being Father. These things have always been Gospel, they are true, and they are bible – clear. But, as at 1900’s, they were not the emphasis in God’s Seasons of restoration. Have it in mind that what God does is eternal. It is eternity coming into time to permanently remain. So, every restoration since 1900’s was supposed to bring about an “order – of – the – day culture.”
The Seasons of restoration were supposed to create permanent cultures, not events that happen sometimes and not other times. God does not create ‘events’ but ‘culture’. Whatever He does is eternal.
I want you to get this clear because you will see how the fallacy of religion and denominationalism comes in. So, God was restoring the realisation of the Holy Spirit; His presence and His power. The foundational emphasis of this restoration was empowerment. God meant to empower the church through the Holy Spirit. But mark this, what happened in the 1900’s, meant to empower the church turned, mutated into a religion. People formed a religion out of an authentic move of God. So, around this time, the Pentecostal movement appeared. People called it ‘Pentecostal’, not God, because, by reading the pieces that had hit the earth as at that time, the pieces looked like the ‘Acts 2 experience’, but on a wider, fuller scale. So the move was known as the Pentecostal movement. The movement was known and was associated with the presentation of the Holy Spirit.
I’d wish to make a point clear here. If a piece of the eternal picture leaves the eternal dimension, and becomes an ‘order – of – the – day’, it becomes a basis of accountability and therefore the basis of judgement.
God wanted a movement, Pentecostal or whatever men would term it, which still teaches about the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, not ‘Pentecostalism’. There‘s a difference.
The ‘isms’ of the restored moves of God are what brings the religion in the doings of God. Pentecostal foundation is a milestone in the restoration of authentic Kingdom manifestation.
When God restores something, He not only does, but He keeps on adding layers upon that requiring the people who once received that impartation to grow up. Pentecostalism, as it is right now at this moment is irrelevant. Now, I’m not saying that the Holy Spirit is irrelevant. I’m saying, Pentecostalism as a denomination has.
This ‘ism’ that grew up around the work of the Holy Spirit is totally derailed. I’m meant to understand that prominent figures in that denomination world – wide meet in New York in memorial of the 1900 event. It has become that much fossilised. The other day, in fact, year 2000, they had a centennial at the spot where the movement broke out, on the street called Azusa, which was an event to mark 100 years since that event happened. To them, that’s their landmark of their authenticity.
But the Holy Spirit is being given daily since then brethren. He comes by the laying on of hands. It’s that simple. Something beats logic here.
While the Muslim pilgrims, in all their apparels observe The Hajj and able Christians take flights to Israel, to ‘walk where Jesus walked’, now there are people going where Pentecostalism broke out in the recent past. It’s absurd!
When we say ‘irrelevant’, it’s not because we have deficiency of words, we simply lack a kinder term to brand these present – day phenomena.
God has moved on. God was not keeping in place the childishness associated with the ‘isms’; He was putting in place the understanding of the Holy Spirit. We understand that, when you are a child, the best you can do is be one. But God is more than just giving us amusement and allowing us to be childish. We can’t discuss the matters of doctrines that these ‘isms’ embrace. Much of the stratification and solidification of many of these systems has come by them embracing doctrines that go on to accept matters that oppose the very God that called them.
Deuteronomy 32:6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 ¶Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
- KJV. 1611.
Deuteronomy 32:6 To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise? Is not He thy father -- thy possessor? He made thee, and doth establish thee.
7 ¶Remember days of old -- Understand the years of many generations -- Ask thy father, and he doth tell thee; Thine elders, and they say to thee:
- Young’s Literal Translation. 1881.
Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
- Hosea 7:13. KJV. 1611.
Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I -- I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
- Hosea 7:13. Young’s Literal Translation. 1881.
These solidified, stratified movements, as set ups of religion, because they have remained infantile, manifesting tendencies that appear in babies and young children, have become irrelevant. The leaders in these setups, not willing to exit and dismount their dead horses are trying to maintain relevance of their horse, sustaining them as a monument of past glory. They rally with popular psychological manoeuvres of the day to hype - up the masses in the pretext that they still speak in the name of the LORD; meaning, they speak on God’s behalf.
Moving forward from there, the Charismatic movement came on after the Pentecostal movement. Some people called it ‘Neo – Pentecostal’ movement.
But I tend to think it was a genuine move of God, built on the Pentecostal move. In any case, it was people who called it ‘Charismatic’, so it breaks no bone. It was named thus because, this New move was to identify and cause to be received and experienced, not only the reality of the Holy Spirit and His power, but His personal administration through the distribution of gifts of the Holy Spirit. In the Charismatic Season, the gift was someone’s identification. You were known by your grace or gift or charismata.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy;
to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
- 1 Corinthians 12:4 – 11. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
So, in the era of the Charismatic movement, the most pre eminent question that dominated all kinds of meetings was ‘what is your gift?’ Someone was known by their gift. People talked about your ‘ministry gift’. People were encouraged to hear the Lord. Four things became apparent in this Season;
1. Receiving the gift of the Spirit.
2. Receiving the Spirit’s personal administration.
3. Operating in the gifts.
4. Hearing God for you.
You will realise that, if a study was conducted of the expression of the life of many congregations, 98% of them will fall here. Most people have remained here. They have vacillated on the four defining issues of this Season. Television is filled with charismatic preachers with these ‘fiery sermons’, messages about word events and how they relate to end – times, great tribulation and rapture and ‘demonstrations of power’ with candidates falling on the ground in church services and massive crusade experiences. The mega – church concept has been sold and bought in this season. The Charismatic movement continues to be the mantra, the in – thing constantly repeated.
However in the 1980’s, at the height of this movement, when people were really up – beat on hearing God for themselves, the spirit of God introduced the next Season. This was a transitory Season. I say transitory because this level of migration would be an inception and an initiation of God Himself.
The means by which the next move of God would come was being set. The issues of Government began to appeal and have prominence.
Historically, in the church context, pastors, evangelists, teachers were generally accepted to a large degree. Denominational leadership was structured using the three graces, but many of them became solidified denominations. But in the 1980’s God began to restore the Prophet’s mantle and the Prophetic movement and in the 1990’s the apostle’s mantle and Apostolic movement.
These were gifts of Government. While the 1 Corinthians 12 graces are called ‘charismata’, these are called ‘domata’ graces. They were gifts of Government.
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
- Ephesians 4:11 – 16. King James Version. 1611
Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God, being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner, in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord, in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
- Ephesians 2:19 - 22. Young’s Literal Translation. 1881.
The domata graces were restored for the following reasons;-
1. Equipping of the saints so that the saints can do the work of ministry.
2. Building up of the Body of Christ.
3. Building unity of faith.
4. Building the knowledge of the son of God.
5. Developing a full man that is in every way like Christ.
6. Align the citizens of God’s Kingdom to the Chief Corner: The Lord Jesus Christ.
7. Manifest God’s household.
8. Promote a holy Temple in the Lord.
9. Manifest a complete habitation of God, which He will dwell by the Holy Spirit.
That would be what may be described as ‘exiting infantile modes’. Maturity is defined by exiting what characterises infancy; that is;-
1. Tossing to and fro by every wind of doctrine.
2. Cunning craftiness of men.
3. Scheming of men.
4. Stranger – hood and foreigner – mentality.
Maturity is also defined by an entry of what characterises the end – product of the ministration of the domata graces. We were meant to leave the elementary state. That childish state behind and become mature. God was preparing the transition to maturity. The Charismatic movement was meant to prepare the way for the movement of apostles and prophets.
This post – Charismatic Season was supposed to prepare a people who would be mature sons of God.
This says that, on earth, there would be sons of God, a whole race of people who are like God. This post – Charismatic Season was to model the transitory ministries of apostles and prophets ordained before the beginning of the world to manifest a structure from eternity called, The Kingdom. But to this day, we have ‘super – prophets’ and ‘super – apostles’, who are either denominational, but having the title ‘apostle’ or ‘ prophet’, or manifesting an ad hoc nature where the leader of the ministry is bigger than the ministry itself. He or she appears to cloud everything, even Christ Himself.
Today, you can be ordained into either of the titles as long as you are charismatic enough, have enough money to vet that and are ‘aligned’ to the ‘right’ man. The structure being manifested by the Spirit of The Lord is Kingdom culture; a company of sons of God; the New Wineskin being the Wineskin of fathers and sons. So we are coming to maturity, in the various stages of sonship in God. Maturity in the expression of the image of God on earth is the eternal intention of the Father. That’s why He created mankind.
¶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
- Genesis 1:26 – 27. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
This is the reason why Jesus appeared in time.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
- John 14:7 – 14. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
How can one summarise Seasons as they are today? How do we summarise eternity and time?
1. God is assembling an eternal picture on earth, in time.
2. He is doing it by picking pieces of His complete picture in heaven, eternity, and dropping them in time as it pleases Him.
3. Change in Season is incepted by Him dropping these picture – pieces in time.
4. Prophetic grace is ability to detect these picture – pieces as they leave eternity before they hit time.
5. Apostolic grace is ability to build environments (Edens) for what God is about to do.
6. The only right response for us to do is to migrate, shift, change, repent, to fit in the New Season.
7. The current Season in God is to develop and to release mature sons of God who look in every way like Christ.
Development of such sons is based on the fact that;
a. The Holy Spirit was given.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
- Genesis 2:7. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
¶And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
- Acts 2:1 – 5. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
b. Charismata was given.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
- 1 Corinthians 12:4 – 11. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
c. Domata was given.
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
- Ephesians 4:11 – 16. King James Version. 1611. Underlines, mine.
