THE WAY YOU KNOW

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


Jesus proclaimed a knowledge, to be in his disciples, that they themselves, claimed not to have. Consider the pacific Salmon. It hatches from an egg deposited in an upstream tributary. It makes it’s way to the ocean, where it spends the majority of it’s life. It makes it’s way back, at it’s appointed time, to the location it began as a fertilized egg. It does not have GPS. It did not go to Salmon Seminary. It is not taught by anyone or anything, how to accomplish this amazing feat. When it was an egg, the moment it was fertilized, it “knew” the way home. It was born with the ability to do this. This “knowledge” was part of it’s constitution. And Jesus, alluding to this form of knowledge inherent in one’s constitution upon conception, told Philip of it. “Where I go you all know, and the way, you all know”.

There are many places in what we refer to as the Old Testament, that bear record of this form of “knowledge”. The state of being created with knowledge of origin, and being able to pass it on.

As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. [Isa 59:21 KJV]

But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. [Jer 31:34 KJV]

The Lord declared that His covenant was with one individual. When you read that out of Abraham came one individual who was the heir of all things, the one in whom all the promises were ratified, you are reading of the new covenant of constitution. Jesus was made, conceived, of the substance of The Father. He grew into perfect knowledge, and understanding all things, knew that he came from God, and that he went to God. This is not a journey of locomotion. It is one of conception, and growing in all things, into that. When Jesus was not of sufficient age to teach, he circumvented this by asking and answering questions. Later, now of age, he taught in the synagogue, and they marveled. “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Where did he get this knowledge and understanding?”. He did not “get” it. He went to no school, sat under no governor or tutor. He did not derive who and what he is from scripture. He is the Word made flesh. He was made this way. The scriptures did not produce this in him. They witnessed that he would be thus created. The firstborn among many brethren. The author and finisher of faith.

If you read Isaiah 59, and Jeremiah 31, regarding the new covenant, this was accomplished 100% entirely in Jesus Christ. Putting His law in Jesus’ heart, and writing it in his inward parts, is the covenant of constitution. He was the Word MADE flesh. He was the first, thus made. He said, you MUST be born again. This does not mean all over again. It means from a higher place of origin, for the first time. You must be begotten to God, for the first time, in Christ. Conception, gestation and birth, all in faith, from beginning to end. What was begun and completed in Him, we are added to in faith. We are not works in progress. We are added to the work that was finished in Him.

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [1Pe 1:3 KJV]

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. [Jhn 12:24 KJV]

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. [Jhn 14:3 KJV]|

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. [Isa 8:18 KJV]

He is the Israel of God. And all begotten to God in him. Flesh and blood can not inherit this. It can not procure this. It can never die and be transported to this place. There is but one way, that is by being conceived and begotten to God, in Christ, who is the one in whom all is fulfilled.

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [Jhn 1:10 KJV]

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: (((Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God))). And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.


The new covenant that Jeremiah proclaimed, was fulfilled when Jesus was made the first of his kind. He was made of the Father. Not made with an ability to “keep” the Lord’s ways and judgments, not written in the inward parts with symbols, words, or any set of instructions, save the instruction of his divine genetic inheritance. But begotten of the very substance of the Father. The first “seed”, thus created, partaker of the divine nature by conception and birth. He declared that unless a seed fall to the earth and die, it abides alone. It is, in the earth, the only of it’s kind, until the veil of it’s chaff part, and it is raised into what was “written” in it as it’s genetic inheritance, as DNA in the fertilized egg.

If you read Matthew 1, the book of the generation of Jesus Christ, there is a generational accounting of 42 complete generations from Abraham to Christ. If you count what is written, when you come to the man Jesus, you are on the 41st generation from Abraham. Jesus, the one seed promised to Abraham, heir of all promises, heir of all things far beyond stuff and junk. God told Abraham, “I AM your shield and your exceedingly great reward”. The same Jesus, the Jews sought to kill , because he said that God was his Father, making himself equal with God, as the first begotten of God. The book of the generation of Jesus CHRIST, concludes in the 42nd and final generation are not accounted until he was raised. It is not a flesh-and-blood generation. It is everyone added to him by faith, from the time he rose, until now, and until such time as the Father closes the age, and shuts the door. Bound up in you, by direct inheritance of birth, just as in every almond that was on Aaron’s resurrection Almond Rod, is the complete inheritance of the first seed that fell to the earth, died, was raised, and in himself, prepared a place for you. Arron’s raised Rod, and it’s generation in the form of seed, were placed in that state, in the ark of testimonies. The Holy Spirit thus testifying that while each seed is full heir, the fullness will be revealed together with Christ, in the consummation of the age. The kingdom of God is within you.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. [1Jo 3:2 KJV]

There are very many significations written into the wilderness tabernacle. Absolutely everything about it, from it’s strictly prescribed construction, the furnishings in the divided environs, and the ordained function of the priests who were of the order of Levi, all are signifying Christ, and what He would accomplish. It was a model made with hands, reflecting the Christ, Daniel’s stone taken from the mountain without hands, that grew into the mountain it was taken from, filling the earth. This is specifically expressed in the Book of Hebrews:

[Heb 9:23 KJV] 23 [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Every year, and only once each year, the high priest entered into the second tabernacle, called the Holiest of all, to offer sacrifice for himself and the errors of the people. To do this, he passed though the first tabernacle, called the Holy, passing between it’s furnishings, passing through the veil, and into the Holiest place.

[Heb 9:6-12, 24 KJV] 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God]. 7 But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. … 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

All of the shadow of things was acted out ritualistically by the order of Aaron and of Levi. The last legitimate function of the order was to inspect the Lamb of God, proclaim it spotless, and wash it in water. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, in endless repetition, these things were acted out by men who were of the Levitical order. When Jesus was thus treated by John the baptist, proclaimed the “Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world”, and washing Him in Jordan, another great sign was given. The Dove of Noah, who returned not again to Noah, having found no rest for the soles of her feet, found eternal and complete rest in Christ, and came to abide in Him, not in any measure, but fully. When it says that in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, the word “Godhead”, means all of the substance and essence of the being of God. Not merely His attributes, nature, character, and so forth. But all of the Living God Himself. When you saw and heard Jesus, you were not merely looking at the nature and Character of God on display. As Jesus said to a disciple, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father, and how say you to me, show us the Father?”. And, “have I been with you all this time, and you have not known me?”. So, the order of Levi was fulfilled, and a new order would arise. The order of Melchizedek. The Dove signified, among other things, that what made Melchizedek who and what he was, is in Christ.

[Heb 7:11-17 KJV] 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14 For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

If you are a student of scripture, you know that when Abraham stood before Melchizedek and gave tithes to him of all, and Melchizedek blessed Abraham. And without question, the lesser is blessed by the greater. And as Paul expounded, Levi, yet in the loins of Abraham, also paid tithes. ( This is a mystery, but YOU were in Christ when He ascended, though you were not yet born, that is, born of the Spirit). In the man Christ Jesus, the order of Melchizedek and of Levi were again side by side. And John, who baptized Jesus, said, “He must increase and I must decrease”. For the Father has sworn by Himself of the Christ:

[Heb 7:21 KJV] 21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

Jesus Christ would suffer and die alone, but not alone. He would be raised, glorified, and seated with the Father alone, but not alone:

[Col 2:8-12 KJV] 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

[Gal 2:20 KJV] 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

[Col 3:1 KJV] 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

When the high priest entered once a year, for himself and the people, he wore on his shoulders, two onyx stones, engraved with the names of the tribes of Jacob, symbolically bringing the whole nation in with him. When Christ entered into the heavens themselves, He did so in the order of Melchizedek. He did not bring us in with Him symbolically. He entered in, bringing us with Himself. The order of Melchizedek is not of mediators. It is of one.

When Jesus on the cross, yielded up the Spirit, the veil in the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom. This was a sign of what had just taken place. The REAL veil, of His flesh, was broken. Levi is ended.

Knowing this, that the veil is gone, necessitates that one reread the scriptures, anywhere there was a veil mentioned. For now, there is a choice to be made. Choose Levi, or chose Melchizedek. Just as knowing that all of the fullness of God dwelt in Christ, when he stood by a stone temple, and said “Destroy this temple…”, you have to choose which temple He is speaking of. He was not speaking of Solomon’s.

The opening chapters of the book of Revelation are based upon these things. In Heb. 9, there was a man made Almond tree-like lampstand in the Holy place, and in the Holiest, the actual Almond branch raised to life with a generation born with it. The veil is gone. You have to choose. The man made candlesticks, with man- gathered olive oil, made made show bread, ordinances and rituals all involving men, which so long as such things stand, the “Way” into the Holiest is not revealed. Or the real Almond, really raised, a generation raised with it, the fullness of the Godhead in it bodily. I will be very blunt. The “churches” as depicted and signified in Revelation, will never fulfill what is already fulfilled in Christ. The Holy Spirit signified this too, in that at no time ever, did the lampstand enter the Holiest. Never. That place is fulfilled in the real Resurrection. Christ is the Resurrection, and all in Him. The veil is gone. The choice must be made, the order of Levi, with mediators and overlords, infested with all manner of error and abomination, to include the seat of Satan. (Read Rev. 2&3 for yourself). Or the Order of Melchizedek, signified to John as “One like unto the Son of man”, where there is one throne, and ONE sits upon the throne.

When Jesus was no longer dead, Mary Magdilene sought the living among the dead. In that state of mind, Jesus was unrecognizable to her. She mistook Him for a gardener. Jesus said, “MARY!”. She came back to herself, and said, “MASTER!”. Jesus said, “Touch me not, I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go and tell my BRETHREN and say, I ascend to my God and YOUR God, to My Father and YOUR Father”. Jesus had no concept of Mary Magdeline outside of Himself (Nor of you, I, or all who are added to Him in faith). He fulfilled the Order of Melchezidek, saying I go to present US to the Father. The veil is gone.

The candlestick was made with 11 bowls that looked like Almonds. Seven sons of Rachel and Leah. Four sons of Zilpah and Bilhah, concubines. Seven heirs of the promises that had oil, four sons of bondage that could not be heirs of the oil. And Joseph was not in the tally. He was separated from his brethren. He became a new house. Jacob, on his death bed, acknowledged it.

But the final descriptive signification of The Christ (who being one, has many members), is in the book of Revelation. And it is not describing the candlesticks. It is describing the one like unto the Son of man. The veil is gone. You have two things to chose from. Only one can be, and is, the heir of all the promises.

144,000 of all the tribes of Israel. Christ is the Israel of God. The gospels tell you that when the young child Jesus was sent into Egypt to escape Herod, and was returned, it fulfilled the words of the prophet. This means the words of the prophet were unfulfilled until they were fulfilled. Here are those words:

[Hos 11:1 KJV] 1 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

[Mat 2:14-15 KJV] 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

12 times 12,000 … the complete and finished work of God in a people. The names of Dan and Ephraim do not appear in the final description of the Christ. The Judge is in the people. Ephraim is not used…the Christ of Matthew 1, the 42^nd and final generation is complete. No more will follow. As long as the Christ says, “Whosoever will, let him come”…the door is open. But it will not always be open. Jesus said that the things concerning Him, have and end. He has no end. But the door is still open. 144,000 is not a head count. It describes all the fullness of the Godhead bodily in the one like unto the Son of man. The actual head count is uncountable:

[Rev 7:9-10 KJV] 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

All of this is fulfilled in the book of Revelation, in a people who have no need of light of sun, moon or candlestick. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Light. The veil is gone, one must now look at the lampstands and the one standing among them, and choose between them, the heir of all things. The heir is the one who is saying “Come up here”. Are we waiting for Him, or in Him?

We, none of us, are a work in progress. We, by faith, are added to a finished work. All that needs to be brought up to speed, is the understanding of this.

GIDEON AND SONS

Judges 6:1-6 (KJV) 1 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. 2 And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: [and] because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which [are] in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds. 3 And [so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them; 4 And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. 5 For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; [for] both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it. 6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

Midian means contention/strife. Religion covers the land like a plague of locust to strive and contend over every revealed word in you. Your word is your sheaf…Christ in you, the Hidden Manna. Dens, caves and strongholds in the mountains, are places to reason and speak without fear. It is sad when people have to

Judges 6:11 (KJV) And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which [was] in Ophrah, that [pertained] unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide [it] from the Midianites.

Gideon processed the word of the Lord in private, lest the “authorities” spoil every thought and muddy every revelation.

Judges 6:22-26 (KJV) 22 And when Gideon perceived that he [was] an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. 23 And the LORD said unto him, Peace [be] unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. 24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 25 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that [is] by it: 26 And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.

Gideon is told that you will not die because the Lord is revealed to you. Gideon throws down the communal altar, and builds and altar upon which he burns the former way… He cements his own freedom of thinking in the Lord , while purging the communal “vision” of God. In short, he divorces himself utterly, from the “way” the people had come to think.

Judges 6:31-34 (KJV) 31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he [be] a god, let him plead for himself, because [one] hath cast down his altar. 32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. 33 Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel. 34 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

Gideon becomes the embodiment of separation from Baal. He does not enter into “debate”, or “apologetics”. If God is in the common “understanding”, let him plead his own case. THE TEACHER comes upon him now.

Judges 7:1 (KJV) Then Jerubbaal, who [is] Gideon, and all the people that [were] with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

The Spring of Herod is “Fearfulness”. Midian camped on the North of Gideon…the place of judgment…the Hill of Moreh is the “Hill of the teacher”. The fearful little band, upon whom THE TEACHER came, is facing the judgment of the cumulative “teaching” of the strivers.

Judges 7:17-22 (KJV) 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be [that], as I do, so shall ye do. 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon. 19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that [were] in their hands. 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [withal]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. 21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. 22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, [and] to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.

Gideon does not tell them what to do, but “do what you see me do”. The loud proclamation of, and revelation of Christ, THE TEACHER, in every individual, so discomfited the camp of the strivers, that they turned to striving with one another, until they were overthrown in their own “doctrine”. (This is one of the better pictures of the Body of Christ I have seen in the old testament).

Judges 8:22-23 (KJV) 22 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian. 23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

The men of the newly delivered nation learn nothing. They want to make Gideon a king, and his sons after him. Gideon utterly rejects it, because he understands who the King is. And the Lord is not King in one individual, who is over the rest. He is King IN every individual, and no individual is over another. Jesus, when disciples tried the same thing, to make Him a king, hid Himself from them.

Judges 8:28-31 (KJV) 28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon. 29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house. 30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives. 31 And his concubine that [was] in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

Gideon had seventy sons, free born to wives, a figure of The Christ. He had one son born to a slave in Shechem. Shechem is the upper back, between the shoulder blades…the place that bears the yoke.

Judges 8:33-35 (KJV) 33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god. 34 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side: 35 Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, [namely], Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.

Needs no explanation. The nation was a broken record. Same as this nation .

Judges 9:1-16 (KJV) 1 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying, 2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether [is] better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, [which are] threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I [am] your bone and your flesh. 3 And his mother’s brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He [is] our brother. 4 And they gave him threescore and ten [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him. 5 And he went unto his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, [being] threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself. 6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that [was] in Shechem. 7 And when they told [it] to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you. 8 The trees went forth [on a time] to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. 9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, [and] reign over us. 11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? 12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, [and] reign over us. 13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, [and] reign over us. 15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, [then] come [and] put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon. 16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;

One of the greatest pictures of Christ in you, the hope of glory, vs. a slave-born , flesh rending , flesh ruling man and the chosen system of the nation. The Fig, The Olive and the Vine…The fullness of the Godhead bodily in a people, not simply collectively, but in EACH member. The flesh rending and ruling bramble. It is all the difference between being born and lead of The Spirit of God, and the off-the mark religious lie of “Spirit filled leaders”. In Abraham and Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael and Isaac, a spiritual immutable truth is revealed. The son of a bondwoman can not be heir with a son of promise. Judges 6-9 is a small amount of reading, and a massive amount of truth.




[Gal 4:1-7 KJV] 1 Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Wheat and Tare. In nature, they are two distinct plants. Spiritually, they are two distinct ways of processing information. The great difference between wheat and tare is revelation v. indoctrination. In nature, wheat is always wheat, tare (Darnell) is always tare. Spiritually, it is a choice. Jesus would not have said one needs to be born again, if it were not possible to be born again. The possibility of changing one’s thinking has been highlighted from the beginning. Consider Cain and Abel. When Cain’s first offering was rejected, did the Lord not say to him, “If you do well, will you not be accepted”? His path of murder was therefore, chosen. So I emphasize, spiritually and therefore truly, what Jesus declares in the parable is not some doctrine of predestination. Is is purely choice. The possible paths are predetermined. What path, where these things are concerned, an individual takes is 100% a matter of choice. It always has been. If you do well, will you not be accepted?

Tares in the parable are a representation of the religious corruption of man made doctrine and dogma, perpetuated generation by generation, usually by some seat of self appointed authority. When Jesus was born, it was witnessed by the Holy Spirit, that Jesus was the Savior, the Word made flesh, the seed of promise, the one declared of the Father, to be his son, in whom He was well pleased. Why did the Scribes, Pharisees, Sanhedrin, priests and Levites, et al, not only not recognize Jesus, but even condemn Jesus as a heretic, “of the Devil”, a deceiver, etc? An answer lies in something Jesus said about them. They change the things God says, into customs and traditions of their own, making the word of God of no affect. (No effect in their following). As Jesus was being mocked and condemned by this, the cumulative knowledge and understanding, brought forth generation by generation, the Holy Spirit moved one of their very own, a high priest, to divinely declare, “Ye know nothing at all”. Of the Hebrews, as recipients of a carnal covenant, the Lord terminated the covenant, and brought forth a new covenant. He did this in His Son. As it is written, Jesus Christ is the end of the law for righteousness, in everyone that believes. This same Jesus testified of the necessity that he must suffer and die, and be raised again, and enter into his glory. And that he would come again to us in the Holy Spirit. The new covenant was voiced by Jeremiah, among others. To comprehend what Jeremiah said requires knowing who the Israel of God and house of Judah is.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.

This becomes effectual in you, when the Teacher, the Spirit of Truth and of The Father abides in you. Christ in you, is HOW the new covenant is in you. He, the Teacher, is how we need not that any man teach us. I do not discount teaching. But what I will declare, is that , in Christ, we are not many teachers, rather, we have The Teacher. We have no need of any system of men, brought forward from times past, to declare to us the scriptures. We have the Author. So, I say again, the difference between Wheat and Tare, is spiritual. It is the difference between Revelation and indoctrination. If it were not possible to be transformed, there would be no declaration of the renewing of the mind by the Holy Spirit.

[Rom 12:2 KJV] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

[Tit 3:5 KJV] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;


In the parable, the wheat and tare coexist. The sower says not to attempt to identify the tare and uproot it. You will uproot some wheat with it. Even is his day, Paul the Apostle had to confess concerning people:

[2Ti 2:19 KJV] Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

In the harvest (which has been going on since the resurrection began), whatever is wrought of God will stand. What is not wrought of God will be tried with fire.

[1Co 3:11 KJV] 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. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

The scripture makes numerous mention of the threshing floor. The threshing floor is a representation of the mind. In times past, women sat on the rooftop, (another representation of the mind) and separated the tare grain from the wheat. Tare (Darnell) when consumed, is an intoxicant. The effects range from blurry vision , nausea, stupefaction, to, in rare cases, death. There is record that some peoples brewed beer with Darnell, or ate bread baked with it, in order to “enjoy” the mind numbing effects of it. Mixture, in scripture, is not generally a good thing. It is by mixing the Lord’s word with their own customization and alteration of it, that the religious leadership of natural Israel was so far removed from what they had received of God, Jesus called them a generation of snakes. He said of their efforts, that they compass land and sea to make one proselyte, and when they succeed, he is two-fold the child of hell as they themselves. Imagine carrying that process forward a few generations! Sadly, such is the state of much of organizational christianity today. They that lead them, cause them to err. In fact, Babylon means “confusion by mixture”. The kingdom of babylon is in the land of Shinar (land of two rivers). And in the book of Daniel, The great image of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream takes place on a threshing floor…the mind. When the stone taken from the great mountain separated the clay and the iron, the image becomes dust blown from the threshing floor. The stone (Christ, who came from The Father), becomes the vision that fills the understanding. In the book of Revelation (as opposed to indoctrination), the over comer is given a rod of iron with which to beat the nations to dust, to be blown from the mind. Modern day christianity has completely given itself over to the world. It maintains no separation from it all, and is completely absorbed with the nations and this world. They forget the admonition of Isaiah:

[Isa 40:15 KJV] Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

The small dust is of so little gravitas, it can remain on the Lord’s balance and have zero effect on the process. Yet nearly every day, I see them who want me to lay down who and what I am, and “get involved”. Outside of saying and doing, what I see and hear in the Lord, I will have no part in it.

For millennia, it was not understood what made Darnell intoxicating. Now it is known that a fungus exists in symbiotic relationship with the Darnell. It is that fungus that causes the stupefying effects on the mind. The fungus does not infect the Darnell plant after it sprouts. It was in the seed that went into the ground. To this day, it is not entirely understood how the fungus continues itself from seed to seed, in subsequent generations of tares, but it is known THAT it does. And when the Darnell begins to form seed, the mycellium shows up rapidly in the outer layer of the prepackaged food in the seed structure, intended to nourish the planted seed until it can produce root and leaf. And so, generation after generation of Tares live and die. But the fungus wrapping the heart of the seed, is carried on, perpetuating itself from generation to generation, in the “minds” of the devotees.

Studying tares is a very worthwhile endeavor. But the spiritual truth should always be remembered, because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. And the difference between wheat and tare spiritually, is not predetermined, nor inescapable. As the Lord spoke by the prophets, because of The Anointing, the yoke will be broken. Two thousand years of compounding error need not be anyone’s prison. The Spirit of The Lord, in you, will separate the precious from the vile.

Grass Family. Gramineae. Darnel. Lolium temulentum L.

Other Common Names: Poison, White or Bearded Darnel, Tares.

The history of Darnel is interesting. The plant has been known and its ill effects noticed for hundreds of years. It is believed to be identical with the tares of Scripture. The seed, being of approximately the same size as the grain, had to be separated by hand, the women performing this tedious task on the flat housetops.

There are many cases where people have been badly poisoned by eating Darnel in bread or meal, but few if any deaths are recorded. This is not true of the lower animals, many of which have been killed by eating it in ground feeds. Pigs, horses and sheep have suffered most. At the Lyons Veterinary School a horse was fed 4.4 lbs. of the seed and died as a result. Cornevin states that Darnel in the proportion of 0.7% of the weight of a horse will produce death, while 1.5 to 1.8% is required to produce the same result in ruminants and poultry.

The seeds only are poisonous, their effect being due to the presence of the alkaloid temulin, of which they contain, according to reputable analysts, 0.6% by weight. In the fruits of some 70% to 80% of the plants is a fungus which lives sym-biotically with the plant, and is supposed by many to cause the trouble. This fungus forms a layer of hyphae just outside the aleurone layer of the grain. It has never been observed to produce fruiting bodies or spores, and its relationship is not known. As the seed sprouts the fungus keeps pace with the growth of the young plant, and finally affects the grain again. Feeding tests which would prove whether the fungus is responsible for the poisoning have not been made.

The symptoms are those of a deliriant nerve poison. There is confusion of sight which was known in very early times and is mentioned by classic writers. Further symptoms are dilation of pupils, giddiness, drowsiness, staggering and stupefaction. Trembling is followed in some cases by convulsions. In others vomiting and purging may take place. The respiration is laboured and the pulse slow. Inflammation of stomach and intestine have been observed.

The plant was introduced from Europe. It is most plentiful along the eastern and western coasts, but is found locally in the interior, growing in waste places and among grain crops. It is an annual grass from two to four feet high, with a smooth, stout stem, and rather broad leaves, rough above. The spikelets, each containing four to eight seeds, are arranged alternately, pressing into slight curves in the rachis, or main stalk. The fruit, which alone produces trouble, is not unlike a small grain of barley in appearance. The hulls enclose the kernel very tightly, the outer one being hard and flinty, and the inner minutely bristly along the edges. The size is about that of a small grain of wheat.

There are two things that natural Israel obtained by way of concession. These were never in the Lord’s mind because both things supplanted the Lord’s purpose. One was to have a king like the rest of the nations. The other to build a “house” for the Lord.

In the person of Samuel, the Lord responded to the nagging and pestering for a “king”, and told Samuel to give them a king. But the Lord clarified to Samuel that the people were not rejecting Samuel, but the Lord Himself, who was their King. But in giving them their desire, the Lord told Samuel to make them understand the oppressive, liberty destroying thing that they were asking. It was explained and they said “give us our king anyway”. You may directly compare this episode to Abram and Sarah, who failed in faith and patience concerning an heir to be born to them. They conspired and produced Ishmael, via Hagar, which was none of the Lord’s doing. When Isaac was born, they now had a problem. It was a problem the Lord solved with as much equity as possible, but the problem was a lasting trouble that survives to this day. Israel, in getting their “king”, created lasting trouble that persisted and drove them to the final declaration. When confronted with their true King in the flesh, they utterly rejected Him, declaring, “we have no king but Caesar”. Whenever you read of the kings of Israel and Judah, whether “good or bad”, you do well to keep in mind, that this was never the Lord’s intention. “Christianity” today mirrors nearly exactly, all that was shown before in these shadows.

When David was king, he hatched up in his mind, the idea to build a house for the Lord. The Lord had amply declared that He dwells in the heavens. The Lord went so far as to say, “the heaven, and the heaven OF heavens are not sufficient to contain Me. Where is this house you propose to build me?”. Then the Lord told David, “I will build you a house”. The Lord declared that this would be accomplished in one who would be born in David’s house, and that this one would assume the everlasting throne. This was not a throne yet to come. It is the throne referenced in the declaration, “Thy throne , O God, is from everlasting”. Later Christ would point out that David saw this in the Spirit. David saw and recorded, that “The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies to be your footstool”. And so the perplexing and abandoned question, “If David calls him Lord, how is he David’s son?”.

When Solomon assumed the throne of David, another mistake was made. They blew the trumpet and declared that God had, in Solomon, fulfilled all His promise to David. And so, another mistake was made, and a temple was built in concession. But when this pile of sticks and stones was completed, the ark of the covenant was brought into it with pomp and ceremony. Notably, the only thing in the ark was the tables of the law. Conspicuous by absence; Life (manna) and resurrection (Aaron’s rod). So many generations later, when the heir of all the promises made to David (and to all flesh for that matter), was made flesh and tabernacled among them, they had another problem. This Christ, in whom all of the fullness of God dwelt, who had declared “the Father dwells in Me”, and who declared, “I am the life (bread) and the resurrection (Aaron’s rod), stood in front of the pile of stick and stone that housed nothing but the handwritten ordinances, declared, “Destroy this temple and I will build it again in three days”. Jesus completely and 100% was identifying Himself as the heir of the everlasting throne, and the house the Lord promised David. The accusation that He had blasphemed the temple was 100% a lie because Jesus was not in the remotest sense referring to the pile of sticks and stones. he was speaking of Himself. And so, when He declared that “in my Father’s house are many houses, and I go to prepare a place for you, and going, I will come again and receive you to myself”, in so declaring, Jesus was telling us that we would be added to Him, the Father’s house. A house not built with hands. Sadly, many have not this knowledge. Paul had to write to believers, “Do you not know that you are the temple? and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (which is the irreducible minimum definition of the temple). Today many erroneously call the modern day high places and groves, “the Lord’s house”, and they foolishly look for “the temple” to be built again, meaning another pile of sticks and stones.

All of the promises of God are “yes and amen” in Christ. All. There remains nothing more to be fulfilled outside of Him, or in Him. It is finished. You are complete in Him. Either you see it or you don’t. Those that don’t or won’t, are in the precarious state that John the Baptist was in for a short time, “Are you He? or do we look for another?”. The flesh is weak indeed, but we do not any longer halt between opinions. The day is fully come. True worshipers worship God in the Spirit. Not hailing Him from afar, but from His very bosom.

[Jer 31:31-33 KJV] 31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: 33 But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Another critical point of correct language in scripture, of correct application of names and identities, is the name “Israel”. The name was given to Jacob when he wrestled with God and prevailed. Because Jacob prevailed, he was called “Israel”, which means “to prevail as a prince with God”. A prince is an heir. He is in line to the throne. It is of note, that having said in Jacob, “Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed“, having said this, it is important to observe that the man Jacob was called Jacob many, many times in scripture. So, to whom did the Lord speak, in saying, “Israel shall be thy name”? Was it Jacob himself? or someone who was yet in his loins? Allow me to make an example. Abraham was blessed by Melchizedek before Isaac was born…Isaac in whom the Lord would say, “thy seed shall be called”. And Abraham gave to Melchizedek tithes. The apostle Paul would later write, that Levi, yet in the loins of Abraham, paid tithes to Melchizedek, testifying that Melchizedek was a priest of a higher and eternal order. Even so, this “Israel” to whom the Lord spoke, was yet in the loins of Jacob. Again, the Lord had said to Abraham: “He that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir“. And again: “And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son]: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice”. But again, what does the apostle Paul show us? “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ“. Therefore this blessing available to all the nations is in one who came out of Abraham, and not all.

Let us examine the Gospels, the good tidings, the word of God which can not be broken, the gospel which records Jesus speaking to the subjects of the old covenant, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me”. Matthew 2 says this of the young child Jesus: “And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.” Let’s find the prophet and his words, of whom Matthew quotes. His name is Hosea, and in chapter 11, here is his prophetic word:

“When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt”.

The unbroken word of God, in Matthew 2, tells you that these words of Hosea were fulfilled in Christ. If they were fulfilled in Christ, then they went unfulfilled UNTIL Christ, and Jesus Christ is declared and revealed to be the Israel of God, the prince with God, and the heir of all things. Therefore, Jesus Christ, yet in the loins of Jacob, is the one who was named Israel. Let there be no confusion about this.

So, when the Lord spoke by Jeremiah, of a new covenant with the house of Israel, let there be no confusion about the Israel to whom the Lord referred. Again, in the unbreakable word of God, we can search and read every place in scripture that the words “new covenant” appear:

[Jer 31:31 KJV] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

[Heb 8:8 KJV] For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

[Heb 8:13 KJV] In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

[Heb 12:24 KJV] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.

The days were fulfilled when Jesus rose from the dead and became the mediator of the new covenant. And the new covenant is in Him and all His house, whose house we are, as said said Paul:

[Heb 3:6 KJV] But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

So, what again are the terms of this new covenant with Christ? But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And so, the new covenant is effectual in them in whom the Lord Jesus dwells by the Spirit of God. For the scriptures declare that He, the Spirit of God, The Teacher, is spread abroad in our hearts. And the new covenant goes on to say, “They shall no more teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying “know the Lord”, for they shall all know me, from the least of them, unto the greatest of them: for I will forgive there iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more”.

And so, the Lord’s House are not “many teachers” , but we have, all of us, The One Teacher. The Spirit of Truth. And from this understanding of who the Israel of God is, and how we are made heirs with Him, by the indwelling Spirit that raised Him from the dead, and who now dwells in us by faith, from this knowledge can every one of us be brought to the fulfillment and highest place of the covenant, “they shall all know me”.

I strongly encourage everyone to read again, the things Jesus said in John’s gospel concerning the ratification of this new covenant in you, by the Holy Spirit. Also in John’s epistles, where he said that if the Spirit dwells in us, the knowledge of all things dwells in us.

[1Jo 2:20 KJV] But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

This is true, if so be the Spirit of God dwells in us, because in Him, is the knowledge of all things. The knowledge is ours for the asking.

God bless you, and blessings upon The Israel of God.
