THE MANCHILD
“In the sixth month, Yah sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged, espoused, to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! Elohim is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with Yah. You will be with child, conceive in thy womb,(KJV) and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name YahShua. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord Yah will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; His kingdom will never end.”
I really like the wording in the KJV, "conceive in thy womb" because it fits very well with Eve's curse which was "in her womb". The coming of YahShua "in the womb of a woman, "Mary", was the beginning of Yah's promise to Eve being fulfilled and the curse on woman's womb being broken. And, indirectly the curse on man also. “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So, the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of Yah.” This is a beautiful story of how Yah injected Himself into humanity; “but a body you prepared for me.” The purpose for this is clearly spelled out. “We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the "body" of YahShua Messiyah once for all.” "For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Messiyah is the head of the church: and He is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Messiyah, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.Many use the scriptures surrounding the above to show that the relationship between a man and is wife is the way Messiyah is with the Church. A whole doctrine sprang up around these few verses and the church has become the "body" or "bride" of Messiyah. Doing this is taking spiritual things and pulling them down to the earth realm. What was actually being said is "opposite than" this teaching. We read on further and find, "That He might sanctify and cleanse it, his church, with the washing of water by the Word. That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
Then Paul clears the whole thing up by saying, "This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Messiyah and the church.” It is man that is to have the same commitment to his wife as Messiyah does to the church, that is a vast difference. It is a commitment thing, not a relationship thing. So, we can conclude from this, that the "Covenant in His Blood" is much more than a marriage contract. It is a people partaking of the body and death of Messiyah, a "Blood Covenant" that cannot be broken. Here is one of my pet peeves. Pulling the higher commitment of Messiyah to the church down to the human level of a commitment between a husband and wife. Religion wants us to think that Yah's commitment to us is as a husband to a wife here on earth, but that is not what it is saying. It is saying that the commitment of Yah to His people, a heavenly order, is the way a man and woman should commit themselves to one another even in the earthly order. The church is the ekklesia, means, "the called out ones". The church is not the bride of YahShua, the flesh of Yah. The Bible says, "the body of Christ". Christ means the "anointed one". They are partakers in the spiritual body of Messiyah, the "Anointed One". "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, ...and have been all made to drink into one Spirit”.
Yes, YahShua was the "Anointed One" when He was on earth, but then He went back to the Father. No longer in the flesh, YahShua, but the Heavenly Father. Then He sent us his Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit of Yah came and anointed us so now there are many anointed ones. They are the anointed of Yah, for as Yah sent His first Son into the world so He will sent His other sons into the world. So, now there is not just the Anointed "One" but "the anointed" as in many. For it is the Father's good will to bring many sons unto glory. These He will soon manifest to the world. "Now this I say, the heir as long as he is under tutors and governors and remains a child differs nothing from a servant though he is master of all." Sonship is maturity. Sonship will be aborted in many people for it will not come to full term.
Yah has anointed people on two levels. The spiritual body of “the anointed” referred to by many as the "bride of Christ", which is really the "called out ones". And, the sons of Yah birthed out of the body of called out ones, just as YahShua was birthed out of Mary. Each level has it's own special anointing and rewards. Further we see the details of this "Blood Covenant" made with His "called out ones", which is much more binding than the vows of the marriage contract. “That if you confess with your mouth, "YahShua is Lord," and believe in your heart that Yah raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” As with Isaac, Father has sent His servant, the Holy Spirit, out to secure a spiritual body from His own people, and the Holy Spirit brings gifts that represent His riches. Isaac is a type of Messiyah who loved Rebecca even before He ever saw her. "For Yah so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." A man and his bride are not blood kin, but the two become one upon consummation of the union, uniting again what was taken out from Adam's side in the beginning. Now, Paul compare a marriage between a man and a woman with Messiyah and the ekklesia, as a teaching parable, giving us the pattern we can use to further our understanding of heavenly things. “Now you are the body of Messiyah, the anointing, and each one of you is a part of it.” When we partake of His body or death we become one with Him in His body that was hung upon the cross, restoring what was lost in the fall. I would like to show that as the bride in the natural is not the son produced in the womb, so the spiritual body of "anointed ones" is not the sons of Yah. Sonship is an out-birthing of the spiritual body from Yah the Father. Just as Mary birthed YahShua before the consummation of her marriage to Joseph, so Yah will take a son from the church before she goes into the place prepared for her. Then we happen upon the scripture where YahShua says, “I tell you the truth, no one can see, understand or recognize, the kingdom of Yah unless he is born again.” Becoming a spiritual body does not take a birth, it only requires a commitment, which is a binding legal agreement signed in blood, a blood covenant. But, to become a son requires a birth. “In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that Yah, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So YahShua is not ashamed to call them brothers.” Here is shown our heavenly relationship, sons of the Father and younger brothers to YahShua, not His bride or even the bride of the Father. However, we must come through the body of Messiyah to become a son. So, we see two distinct relationships here: One is contractual and the other is by birth, sonship. The contractual is of the thirty-fold realm and the "virgin elect", the sixty-fold realm with Messiyah. Sonship is the hundred-fold realm and this relationship is with the Father. Just as in a physical birth, the life of the father penetrates and enters the egg to reproduce himself there. The seed then adheres to the body to take sustenance, but is in reality separate and distinct. Nature has provided a sack or a protective membrane to keep the body’s immune system from devouring what is not a part of her. In the same way the Spirit penetrates the carnal mind of the ekklesia and the Holy Spirit protects it while the body nurtures it and births it in it's season. Yah did not intend for us to be brides or to remain the sixty-fold realm, but to pass through it to become sons of Yah.
This is the resurrection which Paul was speaking of when he wrote, "That I may get to know Him, and the power of His resurrection and fellowship of His sufferings, becoming conformed unto His death, if by any means I may ADVANCE to the EARLIER resurrection, which is from among the dead." This resurrection is also mentioned as the FIRST resurrection. This resurrection is what the sons of Yah will attain. Paul and John had a vision, but not the reality of that which they spoke and wrote about. The sons of Yah will soon have the reality. However, through His foreknowledge, Yah saw that some would remain members of the spiritual body and would not advance into sonship. These are female in nature and always need nurturing, some, however, will become sons. Each has a special unique relationship and fellowship with Yah. Some will take their inheritance on the east-side of the Jordan and not go in to possess the land. The spiritual "called out" body is female, while the son is male. We know that it is the female who receives life and it is the male that gives life. Now, as the Adam family is two, both male and female, they come together in intimate union to make one. It is a matter of position in the kingdom and of spiritual growth. The spiritual body of Messiyah is corporate, dependent on others and one with Messiyah the Head, while sonship is a one on one relationship with the Fatherhood of Yah. This relationship does not depend on others and is uniquely one with the Father. "For the Father Himself, tenderly, loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came out from the Father." When one reaches the point in Him where we no longer needed teachers, one becomes a "Manchild", fully mature, and is called alongside the Father, caught up into heaven, in a Father-son relationship. The Father Himself becomes the source of spiritual understanding. "The anointing which you have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you; but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him." At the appointed time of the Father he will be manifest.
The "Manchild Company" is made up of many sons conformed into His image. The life of the flesh is in the blood. The life of the son is in the spirit. This transition is called resurrection. That is, the coming from the tomb of earth into the power of His resurrection, mortal putting on immortal, temporal putting on eternal. Then shall the scriptures be fulfilled which says, “O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?” Any children born through the spiritual body bares the bloodline of the Father, sharing the name of the Father and in effect becoming an extension of the Father. In spite of some teaching today, the scriptures bear out this fact by listing the bloodlines through the males. Nowhere in Scripture is the bloodline carried through the female! “A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to Yah and to his throne. The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by Yah, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.” We are told this is a sign, and a sign is just a sign not the thing itself, only a symbol of the thing. If you are driving along on an interstate highway and see a billboard advertising something, you are not foolish enough to believe that the sign is the actual thing, so do not do that with spiritual things. Here is a beautiful picture of the birth of the Manchild, sons of Yah in their own right, just as YahShua was the Son in His own right. These are, as the scriptures teach, "the many sons" of which YahShua is the first born. These are "not a part" of Messiyah, as is the spiritual body, each is a separate entity. These are YahShua’s brethren and sons to Elohim Yah just as He. These sons come by divine birth, incorruptible seed, and are another extension of Yah Himself, Father of many sons. But as I stated above and the scripture bears out, the heir, as long as he is, under tutors and governors and remains, a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all. Where do we see the moon? What do we know from science about the moon? In the natural she has no light of her own but reflects the light of the sun and gives light to the darkness. The work of the church, moon, is to reflect the Son to the world which lies in spiritual darkness. Let me show you what YahShua Himself says would happen. “The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky.” Was He talking literal here? Remember, YahShua said, “The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.” From the time YahShua died on the cross and rose on the third day Yah’s concern has primarily been spiritual, to bring Yah's people to understand their new nature. The woman represents the ones called out, the “Spiritual Body” of Messiyah who have the glory of Yah surrounding her, clothed in the sun. She is represented in parable as the ten wise virgins. The sun, Son, has become darkened as YahShua foresaw, for He has no more influence in the church and Yah’s glory has departed her and now rests upon the woman. I want you to note that the woman is not a part of the moon, the visible church, she has overcome it, the Babylon Harlot Religious System, and put it under her feet like an enemy. YahShua told of a time when the stars would fall from the sky and be flung to the earth. Stars are heavenly bodies or ministries. Men with the call of Yah upon their lives who burn out in the friction of the perverse atmosphere of the Religious System, taking it's mark and falling from the heavens. It is one thing to be called out, it is another matter to go in. The sons will go into heaven and the spiritual body will go into the place prepared for her, a place of intimacy in Yah. If you will receive it, this spiritual body is composed of those who will walk the earth in everlasting flesh bodies. The sons are those who undergo a birth or metamorphose change and become spirit beings as did the pattern Son. “But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him…” Is it not from the body that the child comes? Is the child the body? In the natural does the body become the son once he is birthed? The body of called out ones are one with Messiyah, but in Revelations 12 we find the woman delivers or births the child and he is caught up to heaven while she, the body of Messiyah goes into the wilderness where a place is prepared for her. Paul explains, “There are …celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial.” He said this in connection with the resurrection. Then we are told that some will not sleep, but be changed. Some will remain in a spiritual body on earth, a others with have terrestrial, earth bound bodies, corruptible putting on incorruptibility. The sons will become celestial, heavenly bodies, mortal putting on immortality. And it says, “…The glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another…” However, "the called out ones" or body births the child first just as Mary birthed YahShua before her intimacy with Joseph began. “He did not have sexual relations with her until she had given birth to a son and he named him YAHSHUA.” Mary asked, as many of us do today, “How can this thing be?” The answer is as valid today as it was when the angel spoke to Mary. Spiritual conception is on this wise; "The Holy Spirit shall come upon you and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you, therefore, that holy thing born inside you shall be called the Son of Yah". It takes a conception, a real spiritual experience, and a revelation of the Word of Yah that causes us to see the Fatherhood of Yah. This revelation causes the Son to form in us. YahShua said, "I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My Elohim and your Elohim." As in a natural conception we must grow and be nurtured in the womb and come to full maturity, or full term. The earthly flesh is the womb of eternity. We, the sons, are in the womb of the the flesh developing, yet we remain as a baby in the womb. It is a separate entity, or move of Yah from the called out elect, who is one with the Messiyah. From the Fatherhood of Yah a people is being conformed into the image of His dear Son, developing His nature and character, His Name. YahShua instructed us to be, "Born of the Spirit". So many do not know this birth and have remained saved by grace through faith. It takes a conception, a spiritual experience that reveals the Father to put one into the womb and there grow until birthed at the manifestation, the revealing of the sons of Yah. Until then we are not seen for we are deeply hidden within the spiritual body. However, as the natural woman shows something going on in her, even so, the spiritual body is now large with child and showing the impending birth to the wondering eyes of the world. Everyone, even in the secular world, knows something is about to happen. Creation is travailing to bring the manifestation forth. The time is at hand and we must not tarry in the womb, but "…press toward the mark of the high calling of Yah." Press on sons of Yah! I am always available to answer the questions of a hungry heart. It is Yah's will that we help one another up the hill to transfiguration. However, keep in mind that it is not revelation knowledge that we should seek, but "HIM". Spiritual understand will automatically come as we become more aware of "HIM" and become more like "HIM". Many fall short of full sonship by becoming too caught up in the revelation, and not caught up "IN HIM". "HE" must have preeminence in our life even in our getting of revelation knowledge. I can not stress this enough.
