To you it has been granted to know the mysteries. Is it?

Precaution : The above dates within that simple timeline are merely my personal predictions. Frankly speaking, they (the dates) weren't originated from the Spirit.   The dates guide the author's thoughts concerning the imminent mysterious return of the Judge.  Yes!, I must admit that without those predicted dates, my thoughts seem like constantly floating into the ocean of "only the Abba Father knows"! The 'dates,' therefore, somehow serve to be the navigational aids which help my thoughts, at least, to be berthed at some probable moments for spiritual inventories and personal prognostications...





     Though it is well known that "date-setting" of the Second Coming of Christ is fervently discouraged by the authorities of the Churches, and yet we just couldn't stop ourselves, "delving into knowing" the unbeknownst to the human fascinations. Every "vacuum" seeks satisfying answer;  denying such intellectual predisposition is undeniably depriving of our 'wounded' nature. Vacuum is always searching for satisfying interpretations and realities.   The known encrypted-mysteries do not permit my mortal mind to be content with the word called 'submission' unto the tangible authorities of the Scripture.

    Jesus frequently spoke to his audience in parables while he was walking on earth clothed with earthen vessel (Davidic righteous branch).  His disciples were curious to know the exact reason, and therefore they came and said to Him," 11 why do you speak to them in parables?  Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. 12 for whoever has, to him have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him."
 
     Jesus' words seemed to be very plain because he used ordinary words spoken by the common peoples in those days, and yet he spoke those words from the Spirit.  He didn't tell them those words right from his own thoughts.  Those Words were from the Spirit of the thoughts of His Father because Jesus Christ's mission is the Word of Father. Later, as written in the book of Revelation, when St. John's spirit  was brought into the presence of the Spirit of Truth, Christ revealed unto him in Revelation 19: 13 that "13 He (Christ) is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God."  In other words, the Spirit said unto St. John that Christ was the Melchizedek High Priest, and He is the divine Son of the Most High; Christ's mission or handiwork is 100 %, the Word of His Father.

"To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." 

     If the answer is yes,! then surely you have been "granted" with the gifts of the Seven-fold Spirit of God.  The Lord spoke to Moses concerning the shadow of the unseen primordial Seven-fold Spirit of Christ by commanding the ancient Israelite to make seven lamp-stands from hammered work of gold according to "the pattern which the Lord had shown to Moses on the Mountain, so he made the lamp-stand"  (see Exodus 25: 31-40; Numbers 8).

     More than 1,500 years later, in the book of Revelation, the seven golden Lamp-stands were the Body of Christ in Asia Minor, where each lamp-stand as according to the designated geographical location is prophetically disclosing the resonating spiritual exhortations and counsels concerning the universal paintings of faith among the believers throughout Church's age. The lamp-stand serves to be the "wick" of the spirit for every believer, so that the "flame" of the Seven-fold Spirit would descend on that wick. Thus, it is written that Christ "who walks among the seven golden lamp-stands."

    He was the first Son  of Creation, and the eldest among the seven Lamp-stands.  The  followers of the Way were the innumerable seven golden lamp-stands that predestined to be "holy of holiest" for the descending promised Seven-fold Spirit; the Seven-fold Spirit descended unto "just over the ark" that was above the atonement cover of the ancient the Ark of the Covenant, and it foreshadowed or typo-logically pointing to the "wicks of our spirits" where the empowering tongues of fire of the Holy Spirit are supposed to be resting on.

Again, Jesus Christ says "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." 

     Solomon witnessed that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding (Proverbs 9: 10).  Solomon died approximately in 978 BC, and it had been 2,993 years calculated aback right from the present year of 2015 AD. Solomon knew the Spirit of God better as compare to us ("we are the prophesied rejoicing 'islands' in Isaiah"). We heard about the Seven-fold Spirit from those who brought the Good News to the islands.  So, we have known Him from others.  However, communication breakdowns have become the things of the past due to the advanced social media on our fingertips. And yet, we might have lost the realities of the Spirit. 

Jesus Christ said "12 for whoever has, to him have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him." 

     We are mortal men. Thus, we know that when we die, we release the tangible wealth which we tightly grip when we were alive on earth.  Since we do not have the wealth of Sion, therefore, even the tangible wealth which we try to accumulate on earth shall be taken away when death says "hello" unto us!   Those who have been endowed with the "fear of the Lord" shall be given more in abundance. 

     The gift of the fear of the Lord  is the basis for the Spirit of God in forging a relationship with those redeemed spirits.  It is the operation of the gift of the fear of the Lord" which causes our spirit in seeing the realities of the Emmanuel-Divine Spirit.  Wisdom points to the Personae of the Son of the Most High: Christ.  So, the operation of the Holy Spirit called  the fear of the Lord would cause us to hunger for the Manna from heaven.  Thus, we begin to see the meaning of how to become "a true branch of the true Vine: dependency. The 'tree of Life' teaches us concerning the Dependency upon the Father of all spirits, whereas the 'tree of knowledge' teaches us to be depended upon our intellectual capacities and strength!
 
     The Lyrics in Psalms are God's Word, but they were purposely composed to be mixed with human lyrics, so that they would complete the wholeness of the songs; they unfold Spiritual Truth concerning the "names" (handiwork) of God especially Christ: the Word of God.   King David sang "The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will make  them know His Covenant" (Psalm 25: 14).  


Again, Jesus Christ says "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." 
 
     Do you want to know the Secret of the Lord?  Solomon said "Who has learned your Counsel, unless you have given Wisdom and sent your Holy Spirit from on high? Prophet Isaiah prophesied concerning "the fear of the Lord" in Isaiah 33: 6.  That mouth of God said "he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is Zion's treasure." St. Paul says "...and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; ...(Colossi-ans 1: 20)"  He is the foundation of the Covenant of Peace. God's Secret is Christ: the Word.  His name is the Word of the Father, "in whom are hidden all the treasures of Wisdom and knowledge" (Colossi-ans 2: 3). Just as what St. Paul had written in his epistle to the  Colossi-ans, God had formerly revealed through Prophet Isaiah  that "The fear of the Lord is his treasure."  God likened His gift, "the fear of the Lord" as "treasure" because "for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21).  And, those who see this gift as the greatest "treasure" would be endowed "life in fullness" (John 10: 10).

Again, King David sang "The Secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His Covenant."   The promised Holy Spirit is the same "One" with the Spirit of the shoot that spring from the stem of Jesse, whom Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 11: 1-3: the Seven-fold Spirit.  So, the operation of the gift of the Seven-fold Spirit of God called "The fear of the Lord" is the beginning of knowing Christ; Christ is the Secret of the Covenant!


Again, Jesus Christ says "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven." Do these words unlock the unknown spiritual doors of divine spiritual realms unto you?



    If you know the One who is the Giver of gifts then you should have asked Him to endow you with the gift of the Fear of the Lord in our daily 'entering.' St. Paul says "pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy." St. Paul wrote that "...but prophecy is for a Sign, not to unbelievers, but to those who believe."  When we believe in those true prophecies like the book of Revelation, then we become "blessed."  The whole book of Revelations are Signs which edify every offspring of the Woman. Thus, when the Word of the book of Revelation is unfolded, then we are strengthened and edified.  All teachings are spiritually flowing from the Spirit of Prophecy: the Seven-fold Spirit.


A time, times, and half a time...
The-business of entering the "pure" (perfect) gate of the perfect Spirit.
