The Spirit of God is only One 'Spirit', yet it is seen as the-sevenfold- 'Spirit of the Menorah'...
7 Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory (Psalm 24: 7-10).
Yahweh, Christ, the Holy Spirit, God the Father, and the Christ Who returns a second time (Judge) are one 'Spirit' of God. The Menorah is the Tabernacle's Lampstand with one central shaft, yet it has seven branches, representing seven flames from olive oil. The Menorah was crafted by an artisan according to 'the Word' from Heaven. The Menorah always points to the 'Sevenfold' Spirit of God. Therefore, the Menorah is merely the shadow of the 'Sevenfold' Spirit of God. YHVH, God the Father, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Messiah (Isaiah 11), and the spirit of the Judge (returned Christ), ...all are the 'Sevenfold Spirit of God.' A rainbow originates from 'one' colorless light from the Sun, but when it passes through a prism of water droplets, it appears as 7 layers of colored light. This formation of the rainbow is called the 'prism effect.' The Spirit of God is only One 'Spirit', yet it is seen as the 'Spirit of the Menorah,' which is the Seven-layered Spirit of God. It is revealed, as if, it were a seven-layered Spirit, because the Order of Melchizedek determined such predestinations right from the Seventh Day of Creation, in which the agendas of human 'Salvation' would be administered by the 'Sevenfold Spirit of God.'
2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the Seventh Day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation (Genesis 2: 2-3).
The word 'rested' in the second verse refers to God's 'liberation' from the servitude of the Creation agenda. When Creation (the universe and humanity) was not yet completed, the Spirit of God seemed to be enslaved by His own agenda in completing Creation. Therefore, the word 'rest' is not to be interpreted literally, but rather seen through the lens of 'the Spirit of Prophecy.' What is the Spirit of Prophecy? All Scripture is delivered to humanity in 'the Spirit of prophecy.' Why was the Book of Genesis, for example, written by Prophet Moses, and not written by the first man i.e. Adam? Because every Word of God is delivered in 'the Spirit of prophecy.' Genesis is not concerning about Kronos information (chronological accounts), but rather "the Spirits of prophecy." So, Prophet Moses who wrote the book Pentateuch, did not pose any problem, though he was not there, when God laid the foundations of the universe. Because all Word flows in "the Spirit of prophecy." The Word is 'spirit' and life (John 6:63). The Word is not chronological, although some chronology can be deduced from the Books, especially those related to historical events like the records in books of the Kings. Prophet Isaiah prophesied: "I make known the end from the beginning..." (Isaiah 46:10); these phrases suggest that the Biblical records were not written as according chronological historical events. They were revealed unto human beings in the Spirit of Prophecy!
The word 'Rested' in the second verse of the second chapter in the Book of Genesis is a prophetic word (the Spirit of prophecy) that prophesies, that God cannot sanctify humanity, if it is still enslaved by sin. Humanity needs to find 'rest' from the shackles of sin, and only then will God sanctify a believer. Just as God could not sanctify the first day to the sixth day in the prophetic sequence of creation, so in the salvation of humanity, He could not sanctify the first to the Sixth Day, because God was still enslaved by the agenda of creating (Creation Agenda).
Only when God was freed from the 'servitude' of Creation, which was on the seventh prophetic sequence or called the 7th day, only then can He sanctify Creation. That is why He sanctified only the 7th day. Similarly, sinful humanity, ...God cannot sanctify someone who is still bound by the servitude of sin. And, only when a person is freed from the shackles of sin, only then will God be able to sanctify him, through the bestowal of the Way, the Door, and the Keys. God could not 'sanctify' Israel when they were still enslaved in the land of Egypt, but God was able to sanctify them, after they were freed from servitude by the powers of other nations (heathen nations). In the Holy Land, they are said prophetically to have found 'rest' in the Promised Land; which means, they were free from servitude. We are not promised the gift of the Promised Land like Israel, but we are granted the blessing to enter the New Covenant promised to Israel (Jeremiah 31:31-33). So great and extraordinary is the blessing flowing from the manifestation of the New Covenant, that even the 'islands' rejoice and the 'feet of the mountains' sing. 'Islands' and the feet of the mountains refer to other nations who believe in the 'Word' becoming 'the man called the Messiah'. Other nations have also shared in entering the New Covenant, as names written in the Book of Life. "31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Jeremiah 31: 31-33).
When God sanctified the 7th day, what was the "name" of God that God used to sanctify that day? It is also in the language of 'the spirit of prophecy.' The word "sanctify" in the 3rd verse of Genesis 2 refers to the spirit of prophecy that cannot be separated from the immutable 'name' of God. That 'Name' grants the guarantee of 'maintenance' and 'salvation' to Creation and humanity. The Lord Yahweh proclaimed that 'Name' to Prophet Moses as recorded in Exodus 34:5-7. That 'Name' is what can sanctify humanity that has been freed from servitude. The Spirit of Christ also originates from that 'Name.' That is why the writer of Hebrews wrote that Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever in Hebrews 13:8. The Spirit of Christ is 'one' with the "name" of God proclaimed by the Lord Yahweh in the record of Exodus 34:5-7.
In verses 5 to 7, Yahweh proclaims the divine attributes. Thus, the 'name' ('work') of God cannot be separated from His attributes. The 'immutable' divine attributes guarantee Salvation. And Christ possesses these attributes, even Christ was visible to the naked eyes of human beings in those days, but God the Father, YHVH, has never been seen by humans; He was invisible!. Even the prophets in the old covenants days only saw 'a glimpse' of the existence of the Heavenly Father. Only Christ has seen fully , God the Father, from the beginning. Therefore, He is called 'Alpha and Omega.'
However, who is the King of Glory and what were the meanings of the phrase 'ancient doors'? The King of Glory has divine attributes as recorded in Exodus 34:5-7. And the 'ancient doors' cannot be separated from the "name" of God in the proclamation of God according to the record of Exodus 34:5-7. The "Ancient Ones" referred to God , the Father, whose "name" was/is Immutable, as long as heaven and earth have not yet been replaced by the New Heaven and New Earth!! Because New Heavens and New Earth mean the new "name" of God.
