PROPHETIC CHAMBER
As the body of Christ is currently in challenging circumstances in many nations due to the global pandemic, I would like to refer to the following message from 2018.
 
Therein some time ago my wife received a dream in which I feel an urgency to publish it again at this time.
 
During this time, it is wise that we extract the prophetic words that the Lord has spoken to us in the past and about which we have now an inner testimony in order to fight with them the spiritual battle to see God's plan manifested on earth (cf. 1 Timothy 1:18-19a).
 
1 Timothy 1:18-19a:
18 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 19a holding on to faith and a good conscience, …

The Dream

In the dream, the dreamer was on a beach in a not necessarily real or natural environment to which she was led. She was out with her husband and both were undercover agents in this manner.
It was evening or night as they were shown around by a man (note: with influence) with his assistant who was explaining and presenting his work to them. That man was a handsome middle-aged, smart-looking person looking like a popular Hollywood director being dressed in an expensive smart suit. This man loftily presented as a director both a concept of evil (note: manipulation at the highest level, he did not know that the dreamer and her husband were believers in Christ, as they had been working undercover).

During this presentation they were standing on a secluded beach, whereby the director was hovering above the ground and presenting as if presenting a series of products enthusiastically the constellations of the twelve signs of the zodiac in the sky before their very eyes at the beach.

Here he was moving himself directly into the sparkling night sky as if on a screen and said to both at the peak of his speech: “So we influence the whole of humanity by using the star constellations.” And as he was saying this, the twelve constellations in the sky were flashing brightly in violet and purple color by the power he had.

In addition, the director was explaining that people are best influenced in terms of relationships in the month of the “usable energy” of the constellation of “Libra” and said enthusiastically twice: “This is the key; in which balance is in this month and in this zodiac sign! We use this balance in the zodiac sign of the Libra, which we make use of, to influence all people and to influence the relationships of all people. For only in this month of the Libra is there a ladder leading to heaven.”

Then he was pointing to the ladder he had mentioned in the constellation of the Libra, while the dreamer was thinking how this would be indicating Jacob's experience with the ladder and that the one he showed was a secret powerful strategy revealed to her. As a result, the dreamer continued to think to herself that she needed to research at home what the month of Libra means in the Biblical/Hebrew year and its context in order to understand what that director would do with his assistant. It was exciting to them to be so close to a person with an agenda at the highest level of mass manipulation.
Then the dream ended.
 
Interpretation:

The Insight into the Control Center of Darkness

This dream may indicate that the Holy Spirit wants to grant us strategic insight into the enemy's control center, which is related to the annual cycle of God's blessing (note: Rosh ha-Shana). The star constellation of the Libra relates to the biblical month of Tischri/Ethanim opening the new biblical year cycle of blessing (see 2 Kings 6:8-12 i.c.w. Ezekiel 8:7-16).
It is also the month associated with the tribe of Joseph (note: Ephraim/Manasse), whereby it should be noted that Joseph was a man of business.

The Star Constellation of the Libra

The Libra is an indication that it is, among other things, the time frame in which the deeds of men are weighed and judgment is released (see Isaiah 1:18-20 i.c.w. Isaiah 26:9; Daniel 5:25-29).

Isaiah 1:18-20:
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land;
20 but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Isaiah 26:9:
9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

Daniel 5:25-29:
25 “This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin
26 “Here is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
28 Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.

The Hollywood Director and the Assistant

The Hollywood director and his assistant can represent the enemy and his false prophetic voice, who works with a high degree of manipulation, pride, arrogance, licentiousness, exaggeration, pomp and deceitfulness (note: symbolism of the color purple when it is in a negative context) to disrupt interpersonal relationships.

The Shore

The reason why the dream happened on a shore side is because => a shore or a coast symbolizes a border or opening for the entry of recurring and foreign units (note: demonic spirits included) into an area (see Revelation 12:18). All coastal areas were and are trading centers.

Since many journeys have been made by ship and large imports and exports have relied on them, the coasts are known for business, trade, idolatry and fornication. At this point one can see why the end-time refers to the harlot and trade in common connection.

The sailors, who were at sea for long periods of time, were themselves eager to “refresh” themselves with various things, so that prostitution flourished in the port areas and this approach served as a ritual, because the prostitutes brought much profit to their temples and idols through the money they earned through their activities.
The queen of heaven, princess of the kingdoms and the Babylonian harlots were all privileged meanings for the brood of the coastal stew through the trade of international commerce as well as the pagan and idolatrous customers behind the trade itself.
In Isaiah 47:5-7, Chaldea is another term for Babylon, which is titled with the queen of the Kingdoms (see Revelation 18:1-24). <= (partial excerpt from the “Prophet`s Dictionary” by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 130)
 
The Enemy's Goal
 
The aim of the dark prince who rules in the air (see Ephesians 2:2) is to manipulate the economy of the earth by combining wealth with injustice to transfer it into his dark kingdom with the purpose of hindering/blocking the message of the gospel (note: Jesus triumph on the cross and resurrection; see Matthew 28:11-15).
 
Matthew 28:11-15:
11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.
12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
 
The adversary does this in a way that he manipulates people so that they waste their finances on vain or destructive things, by pursuing or being seduced by the lust of their flesh.
 
The Correct Understanding of the Star Constellations
 
In order to understand the relation to the constellation from the right perspective as described in the dream, it is important that we have a biblical view of the constellations of the stars and recognize them in the way God has created them and positioned them in their courses.
 
The sun, moon and stars were created by God according to the Word of God and placed in their proper place to bring his inheritance and glory to light (see Genesis 1:14-19; Genesis 15:5 i.c.w. Judges 5:20; Psalm 8:1.3.9; Psalm 19:1; Job 9:8-9; Job 38:31-33; Amos 5:8).
 
Genesis 1:14-19:
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,
15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16 God made two great lights – the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning – the fourth day.
 
Genesis 15:5:
5 He (note: God) took him (note: Abram) outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars – if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
 
Judges 5:20:
20 From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.
 
Psalm 8:1.3.9:
1 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. …
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, …
9 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
 
Psalm 19:1:
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
 
Job 9:8-9:
8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
 
Job 38:31-33:
31 Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?
32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs?
33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth?
 
Amos 5:8:
8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns midnight into dawn and darkens day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out over the face of the land – the Lord is his name.
 
Taking a closer look at these scriptures, we can clearly see that the constellation of the stars has nothing to do with unenlightened astrology, but rather as lights in the sky they were made with purpose as a part of God's creation.
 
The Conflict over the Place of Residence in Eternity
 
The star constellation of the Libra is located directly next to the Scorpion, whose claws try to grasp the Libra. This means that this is about the conflict or battle where human beings will spend eternity.
 
And this battle takes place between the scorpion (note: the accuser of the brethren; see Revelation 12:10-11) and the Lamb, which represents the confrontation between the kingdom of Satan and the kingdom of God.
 
Revelation 12:10-11:
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
 
The Scorpion
 
=> The scorpion is a “stinger” and a subordinate representative of the serpent under the dragon (see Luke 10:19).
He is the piercing "One" who watches and studies his victims from afar to sting them by command. His approach involves violation through secrecy and covertness as well as occult, psychological and magical means.
He is a supernatural watcher on the lookout as a scout for the dark with the ability to sting, seduce and entice others on behalf of the dragon.
He's a proxy who pierces the surface to inject his poison into his victim.
Furthermore, the scorpion represents a scandal dealer who uses deception.
He induces his victims to sin and finally repels them. <= (partial excerpt from Paula A. Price's “Prophet's Dictionary”, Ph. D.; page 488)
 
The Decans and the Speaking of God
 
The decans (note: each of the twelve constellations has three accompanying constellations, called “decans”.), which belong to the star constellation of the Libra, are the cross (note: the southern cross), the sacrifice and the crown.
 
Their symbolism reveals the heavenly ladder of love of the Heavenly Father, who sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to mankind on earth in order to save us through His sacrifice and to redeem us by His blood to become kings and priests if we accept and receive it for us personally (see John 1:51 i.c.w. Revelation 1:5-6).
 
John 1:51:
51 He (note: Jesus Christ) then added, “Very truly I tell you (note: Nathanael), you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”
 
Revelation 1:5-6:
… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

The Glory of God and Relationships

The evil plan (note: agenda) of darkness by Satan in the prophetic dream is connected with the influencing of human relationships. Relationships are to be manipulated, which means that in false relationships and constellations of connections there is great potential to lead away from God's glory. Not only shall people be deprived of eternity as created spirit beings, but also in their assigned life on earth the glory of God shall be reflected as little as possible. That's the adversary's plan.

As saints, we can apply and repent of this strategy: This includes the greater and "out-of-the-box" understanding of spiritual things in the body of Christ, the turning to biblical times and feasts (note: some misinterpret this as Jewish), a spiritual unity with Israel as God's chosen people and personal devotion to prophetic change in Christ in our individual and family life and all other areas in life (see Revelation 19:10e).
 
Revelation 19:10e:
“… 10e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Introduction
 
In the current Gregorian year of 2020 (biblical year 5780) Passover is celebrated in the month of April (from the evening of the 08'th of April – 16'th of April); this is the biblical month of Abib => means “ear“/Nissan => means “opening, beginning“.
Abib/Nissan is the biblical month, in which we celebrate the blood of the Lamb of God (Pessach/Passover => means “to pass over/by“) as bride of Christ, and where we enter deeper into the land of our promise.
It is the blood of the Lamb of God that led us out of slavery into His glorious freedom as children of God and that protects us in the judgments of God (see Exodus 12:5-7.12-14 i.c.w. Romans 8:21).
 
Exodus 12:5-7.12-14:
5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.
6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.
7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the door frames of the houses where they eat the lambs. …
12 “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgement on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.
13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
14 “This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD – a lasting ordinance.
 
Romans 8:21:
… 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
 
Protection in the Midst of Judgment
 
When God sets a time for righteous judgment over the enemy, as He did at Passover with the Pharaoh and the Egyptians by killing every firstborn from man to cattle, He first issues a warning and at the same time creates the means for a way out to stay safe in the midst of the righteous verdict (see Exodus 11:4-7).
 
Exodus 11:4-7:
4 So Moses said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt.
5 Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.
6 There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt – worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.
7 But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.’ Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
 
The escape from the manifestation of the righteous judgment is connected to obeying the instruction of God and to using the blood of the Lamb of God (note: to walk in forgiveness), that is Jesus Christ (see Exodus 12:13 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 5:7).
 
Exodus 12:13:
13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
 
1 Corinthians 5:7:
7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch – as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
 
The Importance of Obeying God
 
Obedience is the expression of true love towards Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Father (see John 14:23).
 
John 14:23:
23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
 
Had the people of Israel not obeyed the instruction of God conveyed by Moses to slaughter a year-old male lamb without defect, and had they not put its blood on the sides and top of the door frames of their houses, all their male firstborn – man and animal alike – would have died.
Had the Egyptians in reverse put the blood of the lamb on their doors, their male firstborns would have stayed protected.
Relating to this conclusion I don't see it as coincidence that Exodus 12:38 mentions “many other people” who also left Egypt together with the people of Israel.
I am assuming that these people had the blood of the lamb on the doors of their houses too, or stayed in the houses of the Israelites at the time of judgment and hence were protected.
 
Exodus 12:38:
38 Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.
 
One can assume that because of this protection “many other people” decided to leave Egypt with the Israelites.
 
The Biblical Month of Abib/Nissan and the Love of the Father
 
The biblical month of “Abib/Nissan” is the time frame that points to the love of the Father and to the new cycle in the greater freedom of the sons of God (see John 3:16-17 i.c.w. John 10:9; Romans 8:21).
 
John 3:16-17:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
 
John 10:9:
9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
 
Romans 8:21:
… 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
 
For this reason (the love of the Father is the highest instance of love), God directed Moses to arrange all months to follow this month (see Exodus 12:1-2).
 
Exodus 12:1-2:
1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.
 
Jesus Christ, the Love of the Father
 
Life in the love of the Father, which is Jesus Christ, is the key to walking in His set time which is linked to the center of His will.
We should not be foolish like Queen Vashti for example, who lived in the time of Esther; she didn't appear before the king at the appointed time of feasting, but followed her own notions which resulted in the loss of her regality (see Esther 1:5.10-12.19.21).
 
Esther 1:5.10-12.19.21:
5 When these days were over, the king gave a banquet, lasting seven days, in the enclosed garden of the king’s palace, for all the people from the least to the greatest who were in the citadel of Susa. …
10 On the seventh day, when King Xerxes was in high spirits from wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs who served him – Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Karkas – 11 to bring before him Queen Vashti, wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and nobles, for she was lovely to look at.
12 But when the attendants delivered the king’s command, Queen Vashti refused to come. …
19 “Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she. …
21 The king and his nobles were pleased with this advice, so the king did as Memukan proposed.
 
The Change in the Center of the Will of God
 
If however we are moving in the center of God's will, which also implies insight into His time cycles, we will do the right thing at the right time with the right people.
Such conduct is strategic and guarantees success!
 
The Lamb of God and the Deep Insight into the Encrypted Areas of God
 
The feast of Passover is not only a feast where we remember the deliverance of the people of Israel from the bondage of Egypt; this feast also points to Jesus Christ who is the slain Lamb of God, whose appearance is connected with right of access to the encrypted prophesy (see Revelation 5:4-5; Revelation 6:1).
 
Revelation 5:4-6:
4 I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
 
Revelation 6:1:
1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”
 
When we acknowledge Jesus Christ as the crucified and resurrected one in our lives, we are qualified by God to recognize things which He had hidden from our spiritual eyes and sealed over a period of time, at the right time in accordance with His will. The Heavenly Father wants that we move in His seven-fold spirit (note: His “seven eyes“; see Isaiah11:2), as well as in the structure of the seven horns of the Lamb of God, which comprise His power, His wealth, His wisdom, His strength, His honor, His glory and His praise (see Revelation 5:6.12).
 
Revelation 5:6.12:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. …
… 12 In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
 
The Appearance of the Lamb and His Secrets
 
Among other things, the appearance of the lamb is a sign for Jesus Christ revealing Himself in His kingship.
He is our king and our ruler! It may sound unusual for some, but the Lamb of God is full of attributes of revelation (see Revelation 5:6).
 
Revelation 5:6:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
 
The attributes of the Lamb of God carry the following characteristics:
  1. White wool => purity and righteousness
  2. Seven horns => rulership/authority of God (note: power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and praise)
  3. Seven Eyes => revelation of God (note: The seven horns reveal the seven levels of authority of the lamb and together with the seven eyes they reveal the seven characteristics of the Spirit of God; see Isaiah 11:1-2 i.c.w. Revelation 5:12)
  4. Scars (note: as slain; sacrifice of Jesus at the cross)
  5. Silence of the Lamb => presence of the kingship of God (note: the lamb stood among the elders at the center of the throne)
The Lamp of God's Kingship
 
To go along with the Lamb of God and to stay under the lamp of God's kingship is important for us as saints. The lamp of the kingship of God is the lamp of the lamb (see Revelation 21:23)!
 
Revelation 21:23:
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
The lamp of the lamb carries the light of renewal to progress in a new structure of the LORD.
This new structure is the complex of the heavenly Jerusalem, which is made up of the living stones of kings and priests and is built up with saints who are in a love covenant with Jesus Christ, the bridegroom of eternity. By this they rule in authority from heaven (note: realm of the spirit) down to earth (see 1 Peter 2:5 i.c.w. Revelation 21:2.9b.14.19)
 
1 Peter 2:5:
… 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
 
Revelation 21:2.9b.14.19:
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. …
9b “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” …
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. …
19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
While studying about the forty day appearance of Jesus Christ in His resurrected body, and how he appeared to His disciples after His resurrection from the dead to then ascend to heaven and sit to the right hand of God, the Holy Spirit led me to the scripture from Acts 1:1-12.
 
It is no coincidence in this regard that Luke - "light" writes to Theophilus - "lover of God", for this points to the revealing light of God, who wants to fill the life of His lovers with revelation knowledge.
 
Acts 1:1-12:
1 In my former book, Theophilus (note: "lover of God"), I (note: Luke = "light") wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
5 For John baptised with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city.
 
Leave The Mountain And Go Into The City!
 
In the process of ascending to His Father in heaven, Jesus Christ commanded His apostles to leave the Mount of Olives and to return to the city of Jerusalem to wait for the Holy Spirit, the power from on high (see Luke 24:49).
 
Luke 24:49:
49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
 
In following Jesus' command the apostles walked the distance of a Sabbath day's walk, which was about 800 meters (see Acts 1:12).
 
Acts 1:12:
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city.
 
Viewing this situation in a prophetic context, the distance of a Sabbath day's walk from the Mount of Olives to the city of Jerusalem means, that the apostles took the open heaven and the full measure of the power of the LORD to the place of intimacy, as the number “40” is connected to power of the Holy Spirit, and Jerusalem is the bridal structure, i.e. the wife of the lamb (see Luke 4:14 i.c.w. Revelation 21:2.9-10).
 
Luke 4:14:
14 Jesus returned (note: after 40 days in the desert) to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.
 
Revelation 21:2.9-10:
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. …
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
 
After Jesus Christ had ascended to His Father in heaven, the apostles carried His revealing power from the Mount of Olives (note: height = bridegroom) into the city of Jerusalem (note: place situated lower = bride) in order to fill the “lower” with visionary water, so that the bride could arise spirit filled.
Only in Jerusalem did the breath of God – the Holy Spirit – come down on the saints who had gathered in the upper room.
This outpouring of the Spirit can be equalled to the advice of the prophet Elisha, who instructed the three kings (note: king of Israel, Judah and Edom) to dig ditches in the valley (note: true depth in Jesus Christ) in order to receive the supernatural outpouring from the heights of Edom (see 2.Kings 3:15-20).
 
2.Kings 3:15-20:
15 But now bring me a harpist.” While the harpist was playing, the hand of the LORD came on Elisha 16 and he said, “This is what the Lord says: I will fill this valley with pools of water.
17 For this is what the Lord says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink.
18 This is an easy thing in the eyes of the LORD; he will also deliver Moab into your hands.
19 You will overthrow every fortified city and every major town. You will cut down every good tree, stop up all the springs, and ruin every good field with stones.”
20 The next morning, about the time for offering the sacrifice, there it was—water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.
 
The water of the Spirit, which the apostles shared in Jerusalem, contained the revelation of Jesus Christ, who sits at the right hand of the Father (see Acts 2:22-36).
 
Acts 2:22-36:
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.
23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
25 David said about him (see Psalm 16:8-11): “ ‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, 27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.’
29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.
31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.
32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.
33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said (see Psalm 110:1), “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand 35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
 
The Cherub On The Left Hand Side
 
The Holy Spirit showed me, that the seat of Jesus is to the right hand of the Father, when we stand worshipping in front of the throne of the Heavenly Father.
 
The governmental seat of Jesus is connected to the Cherub (note: means "glancing appearance, lightning flashes"), who is situated to the left of the Mercy Seat, when, as I mentioned before, we stand before the throne of God in worship. This side contains the south wind, which is the movement of the Spirit, who pulls us closer to Jesus Christ, so that He can enjoy our worship, and we can taste Him as the bread of life (see Song of Songs 4:16 i.c.w. John 6:35).
 
Song of Songs 4:16:
16 Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
 
John 6:35:
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
 
Angels As Winds
 
For instance, we can take it from the Psalms and the letter to the Hebrews, that God's angels are His winds and ministering spirits (see Psalm 104:4 i.c.w. Hebrews 1:7.14).
 
Psalm 104:4:
4 He makes winds his messengers (note: angels), flames of fire his servants.
 
Hebrews 1:7.14:
7 In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.” , …
14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
 
Cherubim – Carriers Of The Presence Of God
 
Cherubim are angelic beings, who carry the presence of the Heavenly Father and the Son, as is revealed by the two cherubim on the golden plate, the so-called Mercy Seat or atonement cover on the Arc of the covenant (see Exodus 25:17-20 i.c.w. Ezekiel 1:26; Ezekiel 10:1.12).
 
Exodus 25:17-20:
17 “Make an atonement cover of pure gold - two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends.
20 The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.
 
Ezekiel 1:26:
26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.
 
Ezekiel 10:1.12:
1 I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim. …
12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels.
 
In the midst of the presence of the Cherubim there are lightnings, voices and thunder (see Revelation 4:5).
 
Revelation 4:5:
5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
 
The Greek word used for "voices" in Revelation 4:5 is „phōnē“ and means "that, which casts light on what one thinks in his mind. It is the mind being made accessible through the voice of others. It also means an audible noise or sound someone or something makes. It could be the sound of instruments, animals, thunder or other things." (note: partial statement from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the language key 5268 for the Greek word "phōnē").
This explanation clearly shows that where God's presence is moving, He speaks concealed, and this is only comprehensible for those who out of love continually stay in His presence.
 
The Call To Move With The Eternal Light Of The Menorah
 
Just as in the natural the Menorah was positioned at the south side of the temple as well as the tabernacle, and as this is the side, where Jesus Christ is sitting to the right hand of God, so the LORD calls us to move with His seven burning torches in the spirit realm (see Exodus 26:35 i.c.w. Isaiah 11:2).
 
Exodus 26:35:
35 Place the table (note: showbread table) outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
 
Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD.
 
The light emanating from the menorah of the LORD, the seven burning torches, produce the complete covenant presence of the Holy Spirit in His sevenfold character, which is as follows:
 
  1. Spirit of the LORD – red
  2. Spirit of wisdom – orange
  3. Spirit of understanding – yellow
  4. Spirit of counsel – green
  5. Spirit of might – lightblue
  6. Spirit of knowledge – indigo/ darkblue
  7. Spirit of the fear of the LORD – purple.
The presence of the Holy Spirit brings revelation about the plans of the LORD and about the conversations of the Heavenly Father with His son Jesus Christ (see John 16:13-15).
 
John 16:13-15:
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
 
The Right-Hand And The Left-Hand Side
 
When we, the people of God, stand before the throne of the Heavenly Father in worship, His son Jesus Christ sits to His right, although from an earthly perspective we, the people of God, see Jesus on the left.
There is a secret in this pointing to the power of the authority of God.
From an earthly perspective, we may see His left side, when we stand before Him in worship; but God always sees from the "right" side from heaven!
By this the LORD wants to tell us that we, His people, take the promised land by His power, though we rule over it with His authority.
At a conference the seer-prophet John Paul Jackson† taught the following about this subject:
 
=> Taking the reign of a king for example, the right hand of the king would symbolise the side of power which instructs, and the left hand side would stand for authority.
This means the authority is within the kingdom and the power is outside of the kingdom, as it is meant to extend the kingdom.
Therefore it is important that leaders or executives in the Body of Christ as well as in the secular area don't rule in their own strength, but by the authority they have.
If they only rule with strength, then they are dictators.
Rulership in authority takes place, where the above mentioned persons have favour with God and men.
Dictators on the other hand rule by positional authority against the authority of people, who are subordinates “by force”.
True spiritual leadership personalities with a humble heart aim to do the will of God and not that of man.
It is God, who puts favour towards leadership personalities into the hearts of people, so that they can effectively take influence in the hearts of men.
It is therefore vital that leaders do not demand their authority from men.
Still, should this kind of demand occur, it would only have developed from the area of “strength” which ultimately leads to an oppressive dictatorship.
God does not want His people to be ruled by dictatorship, but but through kingly fatherhood. <=
 
Both sides carry a paradox, which needs to be understood correctly, as the cross is hidden in it, and it promotes us, if we solely rely on it – similar to the case of Ephraim, who got blessed by his grandfather Jacob before his brother Manasseh, while Jacob's hands were crossed (see Genesis 48:13-14 i.c.w. Luke 13:30).
 
Genesis 48:13-14:
13 And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right toward Israel’s (note: Jacob's) left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them close to him.
14 But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head, though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn.
 
Luke 13:30:
30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”
 
40 Days Of Revelation
 
While taking another look at the forty days of the appearance of Jesus Christ in His resurrection body after the crucifixion (note: beginning with the third day after the crucifixion) which fell into the time of the "Omer counting – sheaf counting” of the "Feast of Weeks" (note: Shavuot), with the 50th day being peak day, where we, the people of God, remember that the Torah was given to the people of Israel by God on the mountain, and later the Holy Spirit was poured out in Jerusalem, it is worthwhile to meditate on the various forms of appearance of Jesus Christ during that time.
Jesus Christ wants to meet us in a new way; therefore it is important that the eyes of our heart are opened to recognize His visitation!
I entitle the forty days of the appearance of Jesus in His resurrected body as the days of revelation through the resurrection power of Jesus.
After His death on the cross and His resurrection on the third day, Jesus encountered the people He loved in different ways:
 
  1. Mary Magdalene (cf. Mark 16:9; John 20:11-17)
  2. the other women- Mary, mother of James, Salome, Joanne (cf. Matthew 28:8-10)
  3. Peter (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:5)
  4. the two Emmaus disciples (cf. Mark 16:12-13; Luke 24:13-32)
  5. the ten apostles in the house in Jerusalem without Thomas (cf. Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-24)
  6. the eleven apostles including Thomas (cf. John 20:26-29)
  7. the seven disciples at the Tiberian Sea, where Jesus performed a fishing miracle (cf. John 21:1-14)
  8. the five hundred men and the eleven disciples on the Mount of Galilee (cf. Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15-18; 1 Corinthians 15:6)
  9. His half brother James (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:7)
  10. His disciples in Jerusalem (cf. Luke 24:44-49; Acts 1:3-8).
After these supernatural encounters Jesus Christ ascended to heaven before the eyes of His disciples on the Mount of Olives.
 
The Various Facets Of Jesus As The Risen One
 
Looking at the ten supernatural encounters mentioned above, it becomes apparent that some people did not recognize Jesus Christ, although they walked with Him for many years and had a personal relationship with Him.
This appeals to us, His people, to renew our spirit and mind to be able to recognize Jesus in our time: how He encounters us and speaks to us.
The forty days of Jesus' appearance on the earth as the risen one carry a secret of His character as:
 
  1. bridegroom (Mary saw Jesus as gardener, who is an expression of the lover from Song of Songs; cf. John 20:14-16 i.c.w. Song of Songs 4:12-16; Song of Songs 5:1; Song of Songs 6:2-3)
  2. risen one (cf. Matthew 28:9-10)
  3. true Rabbi/teacher (cf. Luke 24:13-32)
  4. the crucified and resurrected one (cf. John 20:19-24)
  5. giver of faith (cf. John 20:26-29)
  6. Heavenly Father as supernatural provider and as the one, who restores (cf. John 21:5.15-17)
  7. the powerful one and Commander in Chief (cf. Matthew 28:18-20)
  8. the fulfilled word of God (cf.Luke 24:44-49).
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
