<= Cont..d From Part I

Now we shall come to Adam’s test. There was the tree of life and there was also the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The Heavenly Lord comes down in the human form and calls Himself Lord God. It was the unseen Lord (Jn. 1:18) coming in the human form as Lord God. God hides this Form from people who disobey the Heavenly King’s orders, but (He as) the Lord God speaks the Word of the Heavenly Lord to the earthly people. In His foreknowledge, God sees a seed of David qualifying for the position of the Son at the end-time, and He takes a body of that till the coming of the particular seed to fill the office of the Son. The Son of God is no small God or big God, or Father God different from Son God. So He is totally God in all respects. Do not mistake this. But the Son of David is a man, totally man, which is to come as Son of David at a later date.

One thing here: In Jn. 14:28, Jesus has said: "My Father is greater than I", which raises a supposition that Father is different from Son. But Jesus, having taken a human body, emptied of Divine attributes and playing the part of the Son of Man or Son of David, could not express Himself in any other way. However, to blot out any possible misconception, He had categorically stated: "I and my Father are one" - (Jn. 10:30), and "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" - (Jn. 14:9).

The Lord God tells Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. When Adam saw among animals and birds, that thought the females are separate from the males, both are living together, he thought in his mind that separation of the female from within him and thereafter both he and the female living together, must be wonderful to behold, and desired it in his heart, and accordingly the Lord God separates the female from within him (Adam) and fulfills his desire, saying: It is not good for man to be alone (with the female inside him) - Gen. 2:18. Just see the love of God in allowing the man his wish, even though God’s wish was for the female to be inside the man. Sometimes, the present day children think they know a lot and want to do what they think right, riding rough-shod over the experiences of their parents; and then much later on only, they see that they are totally wrong. The test for Adam was simple, but his failure brought the curse, and sex started outside the garden of Eden - (Gen. 4:1). Because of his fall, Adam said: "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh" - (fleshly being of the earth) - Gen. 2:24. It was not so originally. By leaving God (Father), Adam lost Life.

In the foreknowledge of God, God knew whom He would seat on His throne - a person who will totally give all glory to the Supreme God and not take the throne for himself - and He predestinated him; and knowing man’s fall, He in His foreknowledge made a remedy, and so Jesus was "slain from the foundation of the world" - (Rev. 13:8); and whoever comes in the line had to get forgiveness through the shed Blood of that Lamb as a remedy. (This shows God’s ability, by His foreknowledge, to have a remedy for all ills and falls of man, whensoever they may come to the surface). So God could not curse anybody or any people who come in the Royal Blood line. The Royal line in which God will later hide Himself is in the Seed of David. God protected vehemently any person through the genes of whom His Seed would travel on and on till the Son of David be revealed, and anyone attempting to destroy that Seed, does sin the unpardonable sin unto death. Now you can clearly know what the sin unto death is.

God could not curse Adam as he had to bear the Lord God’s Seed; and so He cursed the ground for Adam’s sake. God did not curse Adam, also for the reason that only Eve was the root cause for the disobedience, even though God separated her according to Adam’s desire. But because of disobedience, God deprives Adam of his sinlessness, but he (Adam) should obtain glory even after failing in the test of obedience to the King’s command, as He (God) could not give him (Adam) LIFE WITHOUT DEATH. - (TREE OF LIFE), because he failed in the test; and God brings woman under subjection to man in order to bring her again later into man as the original Adam was - (Gen. 3:16-24) even to the Son’s throne.

Then we see, Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived Cain, only after they were driven out of the garden of Eden - (Gen. 3:23-24 & 4:1). As Adam rejected faith and come down to the seeing and believing level, multiple and painful conceptions came as a result - (Gen. 3:16). Through sacrifice, he was entitled for the skin of the animal - (Lev. 7:8), and so the Lord God clothed him with the skin of the animal which Adam slays (Gen.3:21), which skin belongs to the High Priest, which is Lord God Himself King and Priest and He clothes the sinner as he is part of Him in Christ Jesus, and makes the Bride Tree. From that time onwards, God speaks in a voice - (Gen. 3:8), and the form of Lord God was not visible and God spoke only through sacrifice and fought for those people. Then Cain gets wroth and slays Abel, thinking of destroying the Seed of God - (Gen. 4:1-8): But God defends the Seed of the Lord God very carefully and saves it through Seth, that is, the Seed Royal comes through Seth - (Gen. 4:25); and so you can see that Eve could not be corrupted with an animal seed.

Come back to God’s word, you people of God. Satan tries to prove that you become a serpent’s seed by birth, but God tries to prove that only by your choice to reject His word, you submit yourself to Satan and thereby get his anointing of darkness. In the former case of Serpent seed by birth, the people will not correct themselves, but in the latter case of free choice, they will realise the truth and can correct themselves and come back to God and His word. When Abel was killed, the seed seems to have been destroyed. The dragon aims at the Seed only; but, you people of God, do not be worried; for it is God’s duty to guard the Seed and to protect the people who will submit themselves to Him and His Throne.

The characters of both these seeds, God’s and the Serpent’s, are prominently different. The talks and expressions of both are different. Their tastes also vary. But we people call these characters as inborn; but, just as, for a definition of Genius, it is said: Genius is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration, so also man has got power and will to stop or pursue any of his actions; and the Spirit of God helps the Seed of God and the spirit of dragon helps the disobedient. And see, God allows freedom even for Cain - (Gen. 4:15), because, reproves him for his crime and violence - (Gen. 4:11-12), because, as already said before, violence means not trusting God as the Judge and waiting patiently for His judgement, but rejecting God and taking the law into one’s hands.

God is sovereign as King, but His generosity in allowing the most absolute free will to man enjoins on him to make the choice without sinning against the Throne of God. If he makes the choice to sin against the Throne, then the Blood Line is destroyed. But God sees to it that the Seed is preserved. So, when Abel is killed and Cain forfeits the Blood line, there comes Seth through whom the Seed of God will thrive, as we see that from the days of Seth, man began to call upon the name of the Lord (Gen. 4:25-26).

Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations - (Gen. 6:9), but there was violence all over (6:11). So God sent the flood and destroyed the earth. Only Noah with his family was saved.

Why was Noah made just? Because, in his family the Lord God’s Seed or future Son of David’s Seed should come. Noah comes out of the ark, and builds an altar and sacrifices - (Gen. 8:20). These ordinances did not start from Moses, but were already in existence as the Lord God taught them to His people. So by this ordinance also, Noah was justified by the Blood as a token of Calvary which makes the Son of David deathless and protects the Seed.

"And he (Noah) said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of Servants shall he be unto his brethren.....................and Canaan shall be his servant" - Gen. 9:25-27.

For a long time, I was wondering why God should have let Noah curse Canaan when apparently there was no blame on him at all, and I could not understand the real issues involved in it. But the Lord opened my heart and revealed this thing to me for His Glory and to the enlightenment of the Bride. As blessed by God, Noah’s children replenished the earth, after its destruction by the flood - (Gen. 9:1 & 19). Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham & Japheth and Ham had four sons of whom Canaan was the last. So the drunkenness of Noah was after many years of the flood, that is, after Noah’s sons had given birth to children who too had grown up.

Now, here comes the most important place. We see, Noah was fully drunken and he was uncovered within his tent - (Gen. 9:21). This means that he was not lying naked by himself voluntarily, but while in his drunken state, (one edition even says that he was made drunk), he was uncovered within his tent, that is, somebody uncovered him and made him naked. So, Canaan (being the youngest and hence the most amenable) on the instruction of his father Ham, should have gone inside the tent and uncovered his grandfather and laughed, and to see whether his instruction was carried out, Ham went in to check, and after finding it so done, went and told about it to his elder and younger brothers Shem and Japheth who were without. Now see, here, many of the Western friends guess that Ham must have committed sodomy with the grand old man Noah. What a far-fetched dirty assumption!

God’s commandment was to honour one’s father and mother - (Ex. 20:12 & Deut. 5:16), and not to uncover the nakedness of the father and the mother - (Lev. 18:7); and Ham, who should have known these commandments by intuition, if the nakedness had occurred unconsciously by itself, could and would himself have easily covered the father’s nakedness without anyone else knowing it. But strangely enough, he, as it were, sought out his brethren and informed them about it; this also shows that he was the cause for it and so did not cover it himself.

God was always jealous about His Throne. Ham was a younger son in the family and he knew well that God’s blessing rests on the eldest. Hence, he should have designed and executed the above plan, so that Shem the eldest would see the father’s nakedness, and thereby lose his blessing. In any family, children not on God’s word will always try to dishonour their parents in some false way or other to establish their superiority over them, but God is careful to watch that. For God’s people, the blessings are carried to the children only through the parents and not through their (children’s) merit. If the children see the nakedness of their parents, it is an abomination to the Lord - (Lev. 18:7 & 24-30).

"Now Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him" - (Gen. 9:24). So the situation here is: Noah is getting a revelation of what has happened in his drunken state and then he prophecies of what he saw. He saw the Lord God in Shem’s line, and saw Japheth joining with Shem and both going backward to cover his nakedness. They both might as well have covered the nakedness of the father with a blanket without going backward, but with their faces in the front facing Noah. But, what has happened here? Suddenly, the Lord God inside Shem gives Noah a revelation of Himself, and as no one can see the full glory of God but can see only the back, Noah sees only the back of the Lord God in Shem; otherwise it is death for him, as it is terrible for a priest of God (Noah had built an altar and offered sacrifices to the Lord - Gen. 8:20-21) - to be naked before the Lord God.

Moreover, as the Seed Royal is in Shem, and Shem, knowing well that if he sees the nakedness of his father he will be cursed, the Seed Royal turns Shem’s back to it, and Japheth follows suit and he also turns. This shows clearly that Shem had the Seed Royal in him, and as he had subjected his will to that of God, God turns him and he turns; and Japheth is so much in tune with Shem that he too falls in line with him and turns his back and both cover their father’s nakedness, going backwards. They thus allowed even their bodies to be moved as God desired. Shem is a type of the bridegroom and Japheth is the type of the bride cooperating to do the will of God.

Now again, Noah, having seen the Lord God in Shem, pronounces both the blessings and the curse. Saying: "Blessed be the Lord God of Shem" - (Gen. 9:26), Noah blesses the Lord God of Shem; as in his blessings Shem’s blessings remain. And Japheth, because he joins with Shem, he too gets a blessing that he will dwell in the tents of Shem (Vs.27). Ham’s seed was neither blessed nor cursed except Canaan. Because of Ham’s failure to honour his father, Noah curses one of his sons, the last one, Canaan, but the other three sons Cush and Mizraim and Phut - (Gen. 10:6) were not cursed, even among Noah’s children, Ham was an independent man; but his son Canaan, could dwell what Shem and Japheth only as a servant - [Gen. 9:25, 26(b) & 27(b)]. But though it appears to be a curse, Ham’s people by joining with Shem, were given protection and the righteousness of Lord God. So in Ham’s line also, mighty people came up by their own working in this earth as other races in the earth who did not depend on God and had their own self righteousness.

Now, we know, Noah cursed Canaan; and Canaan was the father of the Canaanites - (Gen. 10:15-20). It is these Canaanites whom the Israelites were asked to destroy while inheriting Palestine, because God knew they would come against the Throne - (Ex. 23:27-33; Deut. 7:16-26 & Joshua 23:3-16). These Canaanites built Jericho and so it was destroyed, because in Noah’s time they (their father Canaan) had sinned against the Throne of God; and those who would rebuild Jericho were cursed - (Josh. 6:26).All this because of Ham’s dishonouring his father through his son Canaan. The opposition of Jericho against Israel was a sin against the First-Born of God (Son of David), and so the First-Born of those who begin to rebuild the Jericho will be killed: and to denote the curse against Canaan (Ham’s youngest son), the youngest son of those who complete the rebuilding of the city will be destroyed. See I Kings 16:34 for the fulfillment of this curse. According to Noah’s curse, the people of Jericho being the descendants of Canaan who is to be a servant of servants to his brethren - (Gen. 9:25), were to be slaves of Israel, but they came against the latter, and hence the whole country and everybody was destroyed. Only Rahab who stood for the Lord God and His people, was saved along with all her kindred - (Joshua: Chapters 2 & 6) and had the privilege of coming in Son of David’s Line.

The beginning of the Kingdom of Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord (Gen. 10:10), was Babel. God sanctions world unity only under His Name, by people obeying His word and every time anyone or any group attempts unity in any other name and tries to get a name for themselves, God scatters them. If we know the truth, we will believe only the unity under the Lord God. That is why these human made denominations & religions have no spirit and if they attempt to show God it is only a delusion of those days. Any other unity in any other way is a sign against the Throne and God will not forgive or tolerate such unity but scatter such people; and such unions (denominations) fall and never rise again - (Is. 24:20), as the Lord removes the Holy Spirit from these unions. The first attempt against the Throne of God as a kingdom was in Babel. They said, "Let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth" instead of humbly acknowledging the sins of their forefathers who were destroyed by the flood. They had the audacity to build a Tower to save them from future floods. (Gen. 11:4). But they did the very thing, they desired to avoid by building the Tower and the City; God scattered them all abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth - (Vs.8). Don’t you know that all the denominations and similar organizations trying to make a big name for themselves are still divided and further divided and divided, till they are almost in shreds. They have towers painted to perpetuate their name or put up big buildings for the same purpose, but are scattered pellmell in the process.

Seeing and believing people should have towers and big buildings to show their power and might; but the Seed Royal magnifies the Word of God, and does not boast of buildings or crowds or any such outwardly showy things, because such boasting is a sin against the Throne of God. Heaven is the Throne of God, and the earth is His footstool - (Is. 66:1 & Acts 7:49). When man wants to reach the heaven, it was a sin against the Throne. Here you will understand, the Lord Himself says: "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do" - (Gen. 11:6). So, you, people of God, let us be united under the Throne of God and then our unity will never be destroyed by God, but all other unity will be destroyed by Him: even the present-day united ecumenical move by the so-called great churches of the world to make a good name for Anti-Christ will be destroyed.

God comes down to destroy the people who sin against the Throne - (Gen. 11:7). When man landed on the moon to make a big name for him to form a unity on that name, that was the time God came down. The second time when man crossed the Earth, his human boundary. Such unity apart from the Word of God is like the union of hundreds of gooseberries and lemons tightly tied in a bag, which to all outward appearances will look like a well-knit compact unity; but when once the bag is untied all the gooseberries and the lemons inside will fall out and roll away in separate entities, each by itself in its own direction. Wake up, therefore, you Bride, be filled with love for the Word of God, because thereby you will stand on rock.

Abraham belonged to the Semitic tribe and now the Seed Royal travels through Abraham, leaving the rest of the Semitic tribe; and so, (Abraham) gets the sign of circumcision to show they are of the Seed Royal. When people try to imitate this sign, people who are not on God’s Word, when they get a bad name, God rejects that sign and gives another sign for the Seed Royal. There was always war against the Seed Royal or people carrying the Seed Royal; but God made the Royal Seed people sinless with the Blood, and He found no iniquity in them, and no witchcraft could work against them - (Num. 23:21 & 23), and he fought fiercely to preserve the purity of the Seed. The very mode of attack by the Royal Seed people was ridiculous for the seeing and believing people of the world - (I Cor. 1:27-29). And "Not by might, nor by power but by my (the Holy) Spirit, saith the Lord" - (Zech. 4:6); but they will win by heavenly armies, and they will be fed by heavenly manna of the corn of heaven which will sustain them far better and longer than any earthly food. Being King of Heaven, He supplies manna, the bread of Heaven, which is angels’ food - (Deut. 8:3; Ps. 78:23-25; 105:40).

When Abraham asked his wife to say that she was his sister for fear of the Egyptians, the Lord (and not Abraham) was mindful to take care of His Seed and plagued the Pharoah and his house with great plagues because of Sarah - (Gen. 12:10-20). The same was the case with Abimelech - (Gen. Ch.20). Then what about Isaac and Rebekah in a similar situation? God took care to keep pure the Seed in Isaac also - (Gen. 26:6-11).

So, don’t you think that God is more careful to guard the Royal Seed than we human beings? And so, how can we ever dream of "Serpent’s Seed". Impregnating Eve? Do not take anything which is not on the Word of God. God cannot bless, if there is not a definite separation between those on the Word of God for the hour and those who eat "dead meat", as it is said that only the vultures (eagles) will gather together to eat the (dead) carcass" (Matt. 24:28).

When Lot chose the fertile valley of Sodom & Gomorrah, he chose by sight; but Abraham chose the unfertile place having faith on God - Gen. 13:5-12). Abraham took Lot with him for family affection, but hey had to separate, because one’s consecration to the Lord demands such separation - (II Cor. 6:14-18 & I Cor. 5:11-13). When Lot was taken captive, Abraham had with him only about 300 men, but even with this small band of men, he got boldness to fight many Kings, as he was carrying the Royal Seed, and because of the Seed, God was very careful to defend him with His heavenly host and defeat the strong enemies; and Abraham returned victorious, having redeemed Lot, all the woman, all the people and all the goods - (Gen. 14:14-16). It was not as if Abraham was delivered from the enemies, but the most high God had delivered Abraham’s enemies into his hands (Gen. 14:20). A privilege of the carriers of the Seed Royal. See what David says to Goliath: "The battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands" - I Sam. 17:47(b).

Jacob steals the birth right blessing from Esau (Gen. 25:29-34) and the Seed Royal came to Jacob through Isaac; and Jacob at Bethel sees a ladder connecting the earth and heaven and the Lord standing above it and the angels of God ascending and descending on it, as the Seed Royal is in Jacob; and the Lord said "I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father; and the God of Isaac" - (as the Lord God in him as son) (Gen. 28:11-13). This clearly shows the form as Lord God and the Spirit of Glory as Lord, and not two gods.

Through Joseph, we see that the Seed Royal goes to Egypt; and there they are put to very hard labour, just to make them sturdy and strong. After the specified time, God delivers them from Egypt. You will notice here, the Lord tells Pharoah to allow His firstborn to go - (Ex.4:23). We have already seen that because of the one Seed Royal which He is going to make His "First-Born", God calls the whole Israel, the entire 12 tribes, as His first-born - (Ex.4:22). So through that one Seed Royal, the whole Israel is blessed and gets God’s righteousness and protection.

To bring Joseph into Egypt and make him the top man there, see what ill fame and difficulties Joseph had to go through, and in prison he was to stay for 12 years - all there, just to preserve the Seed Royal from famine - and the way the Lord God did this is not the easy or the popular way, but the hard way, the unpopular way - (I Cor.1:27-29 again). But see the present day denominational Christians taking all easy, worldly-wise and popular ways of prosperity and going to dogs, but calling everybody who is true to God as serpent’s seed, while they themselves are desecrating the Lord’s Word. They preach an easy delusioned way. They preach "Expect a miracle & prosperity".

Also note how the Lord defends His Seed Israel by inflicting ten plagues on the Egyptians. What the Israelites lost by wages over the years, they got in one day while leaving Egypt, and this "plundering" was advised by the Lord God Himself - (Gen.15:13-14; Ex.3:21-22, 11:1-2 & 12:35-36). When they were marching forward near the Red Sea, see what happened. It appears that the rod of Moses did it, but actually the immediate and implicit obedience of the Leader to the Word of the Lord God did it. Refer to Ps.114, saying that because of the Seed Royal travelling with the people, all these and other miracles happened. Refer again to Ps.105, and study also Ps.106 and 107, 89, where we see all the miracles happening in spite of the murmurings, backslidings, revolts and rebellions of the people, all because of the Seed Royal going with them.

When the Israelites after crossing the Red Sea, came to Meribah, they were tried; it was then that the Amalekites came to attack them from the rear, and wanted to destroy them completely; this meant that the Amalekites came to attack the Lord God’s Seed in Israel. And God would not allow them to get the upper hand. So, Amalek and his people were discomfited by Joshua, with the sign of Moses watching over the battle by lifting up his hands which were stayed up by Aaron and Hur - (Ex.17:8-13) - Looking like a sign of the Cross of Jesus.

The Amalekites were descendants of Esau who lost the birthright - (Gen.25:27-34), children of Esau’s son Eliphas according to Gen.36:4, 12, 15 & 16. They knew the whole story from Esau and if ever they would have the blessings of Jacob, they must cut off his children and possibly erase the whole race of Jacob. It was a direct attack on the Seed Royal inside Jacob. So God commanded Moses to write it for a memorial in a book to be rehearsed in the ears of Joshua, to destroy the Amalekites utterly, so that even their very name should be erased out of all remembrance from under heaven - (Ex.17:14), what a pitiless, terrible curse! All because the hand of the Amalekites was against the Throne of the Lord - (Ex.17:16 - Tamil Bible).

So when the next occasion arose, the Lord commanded King Saul to annihilate the Amalekites wholesale - man, woman and child, and all cattle, without a single exception. But Saul disobeyed and did it half-heartedly. That was why King Saul lost his throne, that is, for sparing Agag, the King of the Amalekites and their best sheep etc., and for not destroying completely the enemy of the Throne, as commanded by the Lord - (I Sam.Ch.15).

Anyone supporting or favouring even in a slight manner, the enemies of the Seed Royal, incurred the displeasure of the Lord. You see, when Saul was chosen by the Lord to be the King, he had a chance to become the carrier of the Seed Royal, because Samuel said to him, "Now would the Lord have established thy Kingdom upon Israel for ever" - (I Sam.13:13). But Saul did the above foolish thing against the Throne by disobeying the Lord’s command, and the Lord sought for Him another man after His own heart - (13:14). God is not partial. God remembers the sin of the Amalekites against His Throne and takes vengeance against them - (I Sam.15:2-3).

Such is the fiery anger of the Lord God against the people who come against His Seed or Throne and also against those who show even a little sympathy to such people.

Now, see the root of the enmity in Esau’s seed causing a desire to destroy Israel; because, if the whole Israel (Jacob) tribe is destroyed, they (Esau’s seed) will get the promises, as Esau was the elder son. Hence the warning in I Chron.16:22 repeated in Ps.105:15 - "Touch not mine Anointed and do my prophets no harm". When the Amalekites attacked the Israelites, it amounted to attacking the Anointed Seed in spite of God’s warning not to touch Him, and so they had to be destroyed; and as the Lord God talks through the prophets for that Seed’s sake, He also warns them: "Do my prophets no harm". The world is going to be punished severely for treating the Lord’s prophets badly.

When Moses was beating the rock first time - (Ex.17:6), he did it as ordered by the Lord, and that was Christ the Rock and the Lord standing on the rock and the rock was smitten - Type of Jesus outside the Rock. When, on the second time God asked Moses to speak to the rock, it was the type of Christ Jesus. (Jesus inside the Rock - hence should not be smitten) - Type of "Hear ye Him" - Matt.17:5; Type of Son of David, Seed Royal, etc., so it was enough if Moses had spoken to the Rock, to which the Lord God within would immediately have responded. God by foreknowledge knew that the first rock could be smitten as a type of Calvary but in the second rock the Seed Royal will come to drink water or the one carrying the Seed Royal, so He (God) orders Moses to speak only; but Moses failed and he sinned the unpardonable sin of twisting the pattern of God and beating the rock second time also instead of speaking to it as commanded by the Lord - (Num.20:8-12).

The Lord said to Moses to talk to the Rock, because He would be inside it and every prayer should be answered, which is offered to Him accordingly to John 16:24 - "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full". The Lord inside Christ (the Rock) will answer every prayer of the Bride. And if Moses had spoken, the Lord would have answered and water would have gushed out of the rock as on the first occasion.

For speaking to the rock, no rod (of Moses) was necessary. But the Lord specifically asked Moses to "take the rod", and so Moses "took the rod" - (Num.20:8-9). Perhaps the Lord desired to test Moses whether even with the rod in his hand, he would yet speak to the rock and not beat it. If so, Moses failed in the test miserably. He beat the Rock inside which the Lord God dwelt, and thereby got His displeasure without sanctifying Him.

The second time the rock cannot and should not be beaten because that will amount to beating the Lord God inside the Son of Man second time, which is a sin against the Throne; and so God made Moses to die without entering Canaan - (Deut.34:1-6). He could only see Canaan from the top of Pisgah on the Mount of Nebo, and he was not allowed to cross the Jordan into Canaan.

Moses lost his favour with God, when he smote the rock the second time. The perpetual murmuring of the people he led made him angry, and when scolding the people for it, he lost his temper and said "Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?" (Numbers 20:10). When Moses called them, "Rebels", he included the Seed Royal also among them; by that, he called the Seed Royal also as a "Rebel", which is a sin against the King and therefore against the Throne of God; and such disrespect of God’s Seed was never forgiven and Moses lost the golden chance to enter into Canaan - (Deut.32:48-52). The Bible says that, Moses, the servant of the Lord died in the land of Moab, and the Lord burried him in a valley there in a sepulchre not known to any man till this day - (Deut.34:5-6). A Great Man of God died and was burried, unknown, unheard and unsung. The pointed significance of this unfortunate incident, that is, how it went to the disfavour of Moses, is very aptly and truly high-lighted in the following verses in Ps.106: V.32: "They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes; V.33: Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips".

You can remember Moses seeing the back parts of the Lord in the cleft of the rock - (Ex.33:20-23). Moses disobeyed God’s word by beating the rock the second time and became naked.

Similarly, we have seen, disobedience makes a man naked like Adam and Eve so he could see only the back of God. When Noah was made naked, the Lord God in Shem had to show only his back. These mean that such people will not be able to identify or recognise the Lord easily, because they don’t see his face. For example, you see, people involved in a murder case try to disfigure the face of the victim so as to conceal his identity, and it is very difficult to identify a person from the disfigured face. So, when people disobey the Word of God, they become naked; and they cannot identify God from the face. So, you will understand why the people call Father, Son and Holy Spirit as three gods, because they cannot get a real understanding of God, having seen only the Lord’s back parts.

Forming or joining a denomination is against the Word of God and will make you naked, all those who reject God’s Word and join denominations for their own worldly benefit will lose their garments of righteousness and will be naked. When I was in the U.S.A.. in 1960, a very big and popular denomination very willingly offered a large sum of money and all conveniences, and I was about to say my willingness. Just then, as I was travelling in a Greyhound bus, I had a vision of God, and I was running naked like a mad man trying to hide my nakedness, when the Lord spoke to me in an audible voice, saying: "Be careful that no man takes your garment away", and I immediately dropped the idea of joining any denomination thereafter.

God is coming like a spiritual rock with Israel watching over them, feeding them, nourishing and clothing them all the way through from Egypt to Canaan (I Cor.10:1-4). The pattern of Israel is the pattern of the Spiritual life of a Christian. The first tablet was made by God from the Rock i.e., of Himself and God wrote the commandments on it by His finger. Because of the most heinous sin of calf worship undertaken by the people down below - (Ex.32:1-8), by which "they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass" - (Ps.106:20), Moses got furious and broke that tablet, smashing it against the rocks - (Ex.32:17-20). God does not re-do anything and so asks Moses to make another tablet. Moses accordingly makes a second tablet and takes it to God, and only God writes on that tablet too - (Ex.34:1, 4 and Deut.10:1-5). God has said, I will give you a heart of flesh (Ezek.11:19 & 36:26) and write my law in your hearts (Jer.31:33). So we are earthly stones on whom God has written His statutes and commandments; when the Holy Ghost comes on us, God writes those statutes and commandments in our hearts.

Any man in whose heart God writes His statues and commandments, if he had learnt, observed and obeyed them - that man in really BLESSED of the LORD. But if he breaks the second tablet, that means, he transgresses some part of the law, and it is a sin against the Throne of God, because that was also the work of God (built by God, being written by Him).

If we study Nebuchadnezzar, that great and mighty Emperor of Babylon, we see that he was chosen by God to do a great work. The Lord God had selected him to destroy Jerusalem and take its people captive; but one day pride got the upper hand of him, and he exalted himself up even above the Lord God Who gave him that strength, might and power to win his battles. Forgetting for the moment that "An high look, and a proud heart.......... is sin" - (Prov.21:4), and that "when pride cometh, then cometh shame" - (Prov.11:2), he proudly affirmed: "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honour of my majesty?" This, as you will see, was a sin against the Heavenly King, that is, against the Throne of God; and so, immediately, not only was he dethroned, but was also debased as an animal and remained so, until his understanding and his reason returned unto him - (Dan.4:31-37). You will see there was no delay, and ultimately his power was destroyed totally.

Then when we come to Belshazzar, he was struck when he took the golden and silver vessels from the house of the Lord God and used them for revelling and for drinking wine in them by him, his princes, his wives and his concubines; and immediately the Lord of Heaven sends forth the fingers of a hand and writes, "Thou art weighed and found wanting in paying glory to the King of Heaven" (Dan.5:27) which means Belshazzar was slain that very night. Sin against the Throne was never forgiven and the punishment was immediate.

Even in Acts 12:20-23, as Herod was giving an oration to the people, they shouted, it is the voice of a God and not of a man. In his oration, Herod did not give God the glory and immediately the angel of the Lord smote him and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost. See that punishment is immediate - immediately worms grew and ate him up. The Lord God as Angel of the Lord punishes him. Even every Government is under the Supreme control of the King of Heaven and if they fail to give glory to God will suffer the same fate.

When Michal, the daughter of Saul who was given to David as wife saw through the window, King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, when the Ark of the Lord was brought into the City of David, she despised him in her heart. She despisedly told David: "How glorious was the King of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself". Perhaps overlooking the fact that the Seed of the Lord God was in David, she did this. But it was a sin against the Seed Royal and against the Throne of God. And, therefore, Michal, the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death - (2 Sam 6:16, 20 & 23). No one could even despise in one’s heart a carrier of the Seed Royal.

When Balaam, son of Beor was invited by Balak, King of Moab, to curse the host of Israel, he was clearly told in no uncertain terms that God did not want him to do so - (Num.22:12). But because he asked God the second time for permission to go with the princess of Balak - (V.19), and because God saw through his perverse way (froward heart) V.32, God did permit him to go, but with the definite stipulation that he should no only the word which God shall say to him - (V.20). On that way, however, when the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, he gets a clear insight of how things would be, when he meets Balak in Moab - (Vs.28-35); and yet his eyes are blinded. Also, like the (Seventh) Laodicean Church, he knew not that he was blind and needed badly the anointing of his eyes by the Lord with eyesalve, that he might see - (Cp. Rev.3:17-18). Today when denominations who are off at tangent from the Word of God preach against the word and when believers compromise with such preaching, God does not punish them for all the preachings and compromises against the Word of God, because the Seed Royal has left the religion and the countless denominations of Christianity - the Great Confederacy under Rome. The Seed Royal is outside all religions (Is.8:10-16). God will do anything to support the Seed Royal - see the ass speaking in a human voice.

So when finally Balaam found that he could not curse Israel, but could only bless them - (23:11), he cries, "How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?" - (23:8). At this place, he really gets terribly afraid of the result of his having displeased God, and he, therefore, prays to God, crying: "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!" - (V.10). (It looks as if he pleads: Let me get the Lamb for my sins). His desire and prayer is that the Lord should forgive him his perverse way, and grant him an end like that of a righteous person. Such an end was desired and requested of the Lord by Balaam. But as he had deliberately chosen a perverse way and displeased God the most - (see next para also), he could find no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears, (like as Esau did - Heb.12:17), and he did not die a natural death; but, as we know, he was slain with the sword along with the Kings of Midian, by the very host of Israel, whom he wanted to curse, but could not - (Num.31:8).

Being himself a prophet of the Lord God, Balaam should well have been aware that the Seed Royal was with the host of Israel and that God would never, never, allow him (or for that matter, anyone else) to curse them. Furthermore, God had definitely warned him also, saying: "Thou shalt not go with them (the princes of Balak): thou shalt not curse the people (Israel): for they are blessed" - (Num.22:12). So, asking God a second time as Balaam did (22:18) was quite uncalled for. His asking so was because of the secret longing in his heart for the riches promised by Balak and the consequent worldly name and fame he would gain. Jude V.11. "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gain saying of Core". So inspite of the fact that all the circumstances around him undoubtedly pointed to the contrary, the lurking yearning in his heart egged him on and he got the audacity to enquire of God a second time for permission whether to go with the princes of Moab; and he got the permission, only to find finally that he could never curse the host of Israel - (I Cor.5:11).

His anguish and discomfiture at this final outcome of utter failure of his ambition to gain worldly prosperity and popularity further blinded him to the extent of leading the people of Israel to sin against the Lord. Because, by the time he, after his final failure, left and returned to his place, the people of Israel had already begun to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab, to do sacrifices and bow down to their gods, and to join themselves with Baal-Peor, with the result that the anger of the Lord was kindled against them and a plague followed - (Num.25:1-15 & 26:1). See what Ps.106 says: V.28 - "They joined themselves unto Baal-Peor and ate the sacrifices of the dead. V.29 - Thus they provoked him to answer with their inventions; and the plague broke in upon them".

All this "tresspass against the Lord" happened "through the counsel of Balaam" - Num.31:16. That means, Balaam had actually counselled (and induced) the women of Moab to seduce the man of Israel to whoredom and pagan worship. This is more than confirmed by Rev.2:14, which speaks of "the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication". Thus Balaam led Israel to commit the two most detestable sins of Sexual Adultery and Idol Worship, and thus himself sinned against the Throne of God, for which there was no forgiveness.

Now we shall come to Stephen, who was a man of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost, and full of faith, wisdom and power - (Acts 6:3, 5 & 8). When Stephen faced the Jewish council and spoke to them boldly and frankly, they were cut to the heart and finally gnashed on him with their teeth - (Acts 7:54). But Stephen, being full of the Holy Ghost, looks steadfastly into heavens and sees the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God - (V.55). But when telling the vision to those whom he faced, he says that he sees the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God - (V.56).

By then, had Jesus changed His form and appeared as Son of Man to Stephen. And again, when they stoned him and he was about to fell asleep, he calls upon God, saying "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit" - (V.59). He finally cries, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge", and fell asleep - (V.60). Did Stephen see so many gods? No. Not at all. Stephen sees the glory of God as Jesus. But the Son of Man is a man. Where then did Jesus disappear? Does this not show that Jesus had moved into the Father’s position, and the Son of Man moved into the Son of God’s position? Jesus disappears from the scene, and when Stephen committed his spirit unto the hands of the Father of Spirits, he locates where Jesus is, and calls upon God (Shekinah Glory) saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. We know, Jesus came in his Father’s name.

One last word: This concerns the question raised in our mind as to where the thrones are set up. Our background as Gentile Christians differs from that of these who have a Jewish background like people of the West, and consequently our hopes soar towards Heavenly Jerusalem. But it is natural for the Kingdom-minded Jews to think of the return of the Messiah and the consummation of the Kingdom. Those who wait for the Abrahamic promises to be fulfilled, look towards Jerusalem and the Millennial Throne of the Son of David to be established in Jerusalem. On their own interpretation of Lk.1:32(b) & Ps.132:11, many of them think that Jesus is the Son of David, even though He was not born to a man and a woman, but was born to Mary by the Holy Ghost; and therefore they believe that Jesus will literally rule from Jerusalem and the throne will be set up there. Jeremiah 3:17 reads "At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord - (I Chron.29:23); and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem" etc. Prophet Ezekiel mentions that God gave him the measurements of the Millennial temple to be set up in Israel - (Ezek. Chap.41 & 42), and says "And He (the Lord 29:23); said unto me, Son of Man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile", etc. - Ezek.43:7. Also refer to Zech.14:2-4; Is.40:9, 10; 24:23; 4:2-4 & 2:3,4. The Millennial Kingdom is an earthly kingdom over which the (King) Son of David will reign and the saints will sit on thrones and judge the nations. Jesus told His disciples: "Verily I say unto you, that ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel" - Matt.19:28. Refer also to Rev.5:9,10 & I Cor.6:2,3.

In the new heaven and the new earth, after the great White Throne Judgement, the new Jerusalem descends from Heaven - Rev.21:1-5. Then God is in His Throne (V.5). New earth is earth renewed - (just like the new heart of Ezek.36:26) - After purging the world of all wickedness. After the millennium, with Satan being released to beguile the nations for the final battle, with the wicked being completely wiped out and then with the final resurrection of the rest of the dead and the White Throne Judgement, the scene shifts to heavenly Jerusalem where we find the Throne of God (Rev.21:1-5). The unseen things and thrones which St.Paul mentions in Col.1:16, all of them come under the sway of the Heavenly Throne which belongs to the Son of David, but he willingly seats God the Father on the Throne.
 
 

While trying to close the already long message (though still not complete), let us now concentrate all our mind and attention, and proceed to seek God’s Blessings for us through this message.

We are weak people; we let down (forsake, betray or deny) God in many things; by our worldly pleasures, destroy ourselves. But see, Moses wants to be with the people of God (who, by the way, are his own people) choosing rather to suffer affliction with them, than to enjoy the kingly (but sinful) pleasures of the Pharoah’s Palace - (Heb.11:24-26). He makes a voluntary and willing choice of a difficult path, because of the Long Far-Off Vision he had. Many have only a short look, always worrying ‘what about our future?’ But those who have a far look need be afraid of nothing.

We have seen before under many heads that even this great Moses of whom the Lord Himself witnessed the most excellent witness (Num.12:6-8), could not enter, rather missed the golden chance to enter, into Canaan, just for the simple reason that, though being the meekest above all men upon the face of the whole earth (Num.12:3), he for a moment lost that meek temper but once, and that too not of himself but because of the perpetual rebellions murmuring of the people he led, and beat the rock the second time (twice), instead of speaking to it as commanded by the Lord - (Num.20:1-12 & Deut.32:48-52 & 34:1-6). His prayer to the Lord to (forgive him and) let him go over (into Canaan) and see that good land etc., was not heard by the Lord, Who was wroth and told him point-blank: "Speak no more unto me of this matter" - (Deut.3:23-27). Moreover, even this Moses, with the best witness to his credit, was "faithful in all his (Lord’s) house, (only) as a servant" - (Heb.3:6). Whereas we are the very house of Christ Jesus (Heb.11:40). So, dear Bride of God, how much more jealously and zealously careful, humble and meek we should be before our Lord God, if we too are not to miss our golden chance to enter into our Canaan without death. Take heed, therefore, dear Brothers and Sisters "lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the Living God" - (Heb.3:12), Who has come down from Heaven.

Two things must be noticed. Wherever the Lord God’s Seed travels, there was strength and protection, because in Lord God the Seed has already been judged by foreknowledge; and all those who join that line and are friendly and helpful, were always approved, even though in the earthly sense, they were regarded as down-trodden. Only Ham’s people except Canaan were mighty hunters and developed people; but the Shemitic and the Japheth races were living in places cursed by God, though for a different purpose, namely, that even in those places they might prove themselves to be fully true to God and ever connected with Heaven. Only Ham’s people were earthly famous and built big cities. I can see what God has done for the non-Christians in India. People think that worldly gains and prosperity are a qualification for glory; but now, I know for certain that your connection with, and wholehearted support for the Son of God, (to be in Christ Jesus) will only qualify you for the glorification, and not anything else. Money, the love of which is the root of all evil - (I Tim.6:10), is not at all the criterion or the qualification. The gospel is only for the poor. The rich organise it, but the poor live it (James 1:11 ; 2:1-10).

The tribe of Judah will never leave the King. That is why, in Zech.12:7, it is said, He will save the tents of Judah first. When a war suddenly breaks out, the tribe of Judah will be together with the King. The other ten tribes will go away, because they are not on the Word. So we now see what the Righteousness of God is, and how God has been defending the Throne from the very beginning. Hence, no fear about anything need be entertained by those who boldly stand up for Jesus in these last days.

Because the Son of David is made the First-Born of God and because he is one of Israel, God calls the whole nation of Israel as His First-Born. That is OUR HOPE today. God tells Moses, Go and say to Pharoah, "Israel is my son, even my first-born. Let my son go, and if you don’t let him go, I will slay thy son, even thy first-born" - (Ex.4:22-23). Such is the consuming fiery zeal of God to defend His First-Born. Because of our connection with the Son of David, we too are eligible for all the rights and blessings due to the First-Born. What a GLORIOUS PRIVILEGE!!! Let us, therefore, "hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of this hope (and privilege) firm unto the end" - (Heb.3:6), lest we should miss our glorification. All those of the True Seed who stand fast and firm to the very end will be glorified. Many get the revelation for it, and stick on with the Son of David, by "holding the beginning of their confidence (in him that is in the Son of David) steadfast unto the end" - (Heb.3:14), and they will be glorified.

Aaron was God’s choice; and when jealousy came, God settled it by Aaron’s rod which blossomed, showing there was life - (Num.17:1-11). There is no need of anyone fighting for this place as the Life of God will manifest the overcoming power over death. It is not a human being aspiring for power. The Male Child will be caught up to the Throne and not be climbing up a ladder. May the Lord bless David’s Seed as He promised, which will never fail, and He will in His own time vindicate His seed. I am only a servant of Jesus telling what God lays in my heart. "May His Choice be Blessed", should be the Bride’s United Prayer - Not only United, but persistent and unceasing should the prayer be.

It must be David’s Seed anyhow, and Jesus knows where that Seed lays. We, however, know for sure that it is from somewhere in the East and not in the West - that far can we be sure, because even the National Anthem of Israel points to that, as seen below :-

"So long as still within our breasts

The Jewish heart beats true,

So long as still TOWARD THE EAST

TO ZION, LOOKS THE JEW,

So long our hopes are not yet lost:

Two thousand years we cherished them

OF ZION and Jerusalem".

Please also, study the following verses carefully - I Tim.Ch.6:12-16:

V.12: "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. V.13: I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; V.14: That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; V.15: Which in his time he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords; V.16: Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see; to whom be honour and power everlasting, Amen".

So, let us put Jesus on the Throne and exalt the Father of Spirits and our Light & Life. And enjoy God’s Life in association with the Son of David.

See the Love of God! May the Love of the Father burn you deep into total obedience to God!

If we study the genealogy of Jesus from Shealtiel (born in Babylon) then shifts from Jechonia who had the curse of God (Jer.22:30). Mary comes in the human line and David’s line which is Faith Line of Abraham, i.e., they will believe anything God says. Mary’s line is not the Royal line which comes through NATHAN, another Son of David, brother of King Solomon. The reason they called Jesus as King of David will clearly dealt with in my next message which will reveal to the world a Great World Shaking Revelation which will make all the wise fools - I Cor.1:19-29. See the message Lamb of God.

Acts 2:29-36 - "Men and Brethren let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet and knowing that God has sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his loins" (Mary had not the male Royal Seed qualifying for the throne) according to the FLESH he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne. He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ that his soul (not body) was not left in hell neither his flesh did see corruption and this JESUS hath God raised up whereof we all are witnesses and Paul says that John was baptising all in the name of one coming (Acts 19:2-6). Jesus was living at that time but John was baptising in the name of Son of David who hide His name Jesus said Son of Man. Do not get angry the next book will clear all your doubts. Jesus was the Lamb and like Isaac the lamb takes the place of Isaac for a burnt offering and Jesus saw his seed (Is.53:10-11) and the seed days are prolonged. Peter goes on to say in Acts 2:33 onwards. "Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit He hath shed forth this which you see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens but as saith himself "The Lord said unto my Lord Sit thou on my right hand until t make thy foes thy footstool.

Therefore: let all the house of Israel know ASSUREDLY that God hath made THAT SAME JESUS whom ye have crucified both LORD AND CHRIST".
