Firmaments and Expanses | ||
As below, so above: the heavens
aren’t clean in the sight of HaShem; and as on earth, the processes of
salvation and perfection continue. As we prepare for incarnation, those
angelic worms of fire that remain above bathe with us in the lake of
fire surrounding the throne of
owcwhy Yahushua, HaShem’s
projection. As though liquefied, we arise and fall within the divine
fire as we are purged; and to understand what is being done, we
continually behold the faces of HaShem in HaMashiyach. Key immortal confrontations must occur within the mortal realm, giving all parties opportunity to resolve past issues by developing more deliberate thought processes as their immortal worms of fire intertwine in natural relationships. In every respect, above and below, the caterpillar called mortal man is busy establishing foundations in preparation for the promised land, the immortal souls of the celestial realm, even while their mortal souls on earth prepare for dissolution upon their the return to heaven. In both realms, angelic cores are given instruction; for they agreed to parameters of their immersions in spiritual water and fire, both above and below. Earth fires continue their slow burn, as suggested by the saying, “Sufficient unto the day....” Heaven’s fire also continues, in light of the saying, “their faces do always behold the face of their father”; for while on earth, incarnate beings retain anchor in the Lake of Fire, above. In heaven and on earth, their true lives are hidden within the firmament of God’s spirit, around and along which man’s spirit revolves, negotiating the evils of each day. The vast gap that stretches between the expanses of earth and heaven is a firmament that clouds the incarnated soul’s sense of its presence in the fire above, and the soul credits its burning solely to the fires of earth; but the angelic core continues to burn in the fire of heaven during its incarnation on earth. With foreboding, the import of divine fire may be sensed at any moment as premonition. That the incarnated mortal has presence in the expanse of heaven while present within the expanse of earth is likened to the wheels of a chariot, with the firmament serving as the axle between the wheels. The fire of heaven opens and bathes deep wounds. The fires of earth cauterize scar tissue in concert with that which is being done above. Immersion in fire, above and below, allows the angelic worm to confront, confess, and address outstanding grievances, whether the offense arises from itself or from others. Each of us must pay his debts: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, until forgiveness triumphs among us all, freeing all of us, at once and as one, to enter into the father’s rest. Accusers will be cast down to earth again and again, because they raise up the spirit of accusation in all of us, polluting our thoughts and making us doubt the efficacy of Yahushua’s sacrifice, which was made from the foundations of the world. Heaven’s fire seals immortal angels with the seal of promise, which is the seal of the father’s hand. Like vessels on the potter’s wheel, we rise and we fall as we are shaped, reshaped, and shaped again, being made ready for the kilns of earth. The creator sees his handiwork as it will be, not as it appears in its states of becoming. Therefore, the seal of promise remains in the father’s hand, held in reserve along with the forehead seal, which is called the “third eye” or the “circle of light.” The seal of perfection is awarded to those who have overcome within the fires of earth and have reached their promise in the mind of la. Souls so blessed have endured the trappings of mortality, and they are ready for the immortal garment called the celestial body, the body of light, which is designed for the world to come. The anointed one, the Essene Teacher of Righteousness, demonstrated the way that leads to perfection, resolutely holding to the path of Truth that leads to the Light of HaShem. Gaining victory over the mortal realm begins by taking up the trail he blazed, both within and without. Rising from the baptismal waters of Yardan in the footsteps of Y’shua, we are driven into the desert, not to the land of promise. The wilderness that lines the River of Souls harbors hard realities that present difficult choices, whatever our counsel; and it is precisely to receive the counsel of HaShem that we are driven into the desert. Once there, we are to fast until the will from above becomes clear and the way forward opens. We fast until we have learned the meaning of the admonition that it is not for us to direct our steps. Whatever else our callings might require of us, they require that we accept the premise that we proceed by agreement, because Torah, the measurement of HaMashiyach, must be written on our hearts. If the projection of HaShem makes us free, we are free, indeed. We walk within the law under grace, not as under the law by obligation. Y’shua came eating and drinking. We follow in his footsteps, but we are not made free unto licentiousness, as held by the Nicolaitans. Neither should our liberty in the footsteps of Y’shua be unduly constrained by those who fear we might become stumbling blocks for others, whose faith is weak. Faith is in the father’s hands, and only his spirit can provide that guidance. It is neither for us to direct or to restrict our steps. We are to walk within the counsel of God’s spirit, which reaches every crossroads before us, declaring “this is the way you shall go: walk in it.” We are therefore not to quench the holy spirit. It’s not ours to plan our itineraries; for the imagination of our hearts is only evil, continually, whether our conscious intent is bad or good. Our hearts struggle to give birth to the twins of honest Tamar. No longer can any accuse her of harlotry; for both Phares and Zerach contribute to generation of the earthly messiah. The faces of Pharaoh are not confined to ancient Egypt. He is a principality, a parasite embedded in mortal souls; and he leaches the human spirit with slurs and absurd accusations. He makes obscene demands and will not relent of his vampiric hold on spiritual lifeblood, and he will escalate his pressures as the promise and vitality of youth fade. None can escape his grip on his own. If you would flee before Pharaoh, he will pursue you right up to the judgment seat of heaven, using your own thoughts against you, demanding that you be returned to earth to serve his hungers, securely under his power, once again. Do not allow your hands to become idle. Messiah has work for you to do. The debt of straw and the demand for bricks will not be forgiven or forgotten, except they be repaid with coin earned in service to HaShem in the room of Yahushua, HaMashiyach, the King. The Kingdom of Names is an immense enterprise. It began in the Garden of Eden, and it has no end. From time to time, men have been called unto various roles of surrogacy, but there is one King. In the third heaven, he holds court as the presence sitting upon the throne; and in the second heaven, he is the presence enthroned within the mind of man. The sequencing of his generation is given in the meanings of the Names in the Gospel of Matthew. Note the distinction between the first and sixteenth verse. As you pray, don’t enter the closet to speak, but to listen: to meditate in prayer without ceasing, attuning the spiritual receptors within the body to renewal through God’s counsel. All souls do well to share what they have learned through study and through interactions shared within the prayer closet; for all of us, together, must overcome spiritual obstruction in the presence of our brethren if the accusers are to be cast down. Just as malleable steel is tempered by being thrust into cold water when it has been hammered and shaped to the blacksmith’s satisfaction, so are the angelic fire worms of heaven tempered by being thrust into the cooler fires of earth, again and again, until the angels incarnated within mortal souls are perfected in the sight of HaShem, who, alone, decides whether one is fully ready to receive the immortal soul designed to clothe the celestial body. Yes, we can be born again. The good news is that physical death is not required for us to progress within the cycles of life. |
