The prophesied 'Seed' and the citizens' 'spiritual ascriptions' to the Kingdom of God...

The prophecy about  the ‘seeds’ within a man

" 26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth,and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” 27 So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” 29 God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day." (Genesis 1: 26 – 31) [a] 

Be Holy

"Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18  For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.  20  He was chosen before the Creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.  21  Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God. 22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth, so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.  23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring the Word of God. 24 For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, 25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you. " (1 Peter 1: 13-25). [b] 


What is the spiritual meaning of  the words "...Father who judges each person’s work ..."?

    What is the phrasal meaning of "...each person's work" ?  There are two distinguishable interpretations concerning the word "deed" or "work" : the earthly deeds and spiritual deeds. Earthly intellectual deeds are not necessarily for our survival per se,  but God said “...the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth.”  St.Peter's words "each person's work," therefore, referring to the born-again believers' responses unto their Creator's "Deep calls deep" : faith (Hebrew 11: 1). The word "work' in verse 17 is referring to our spiritual works based upon the imperishable Seed (the Word of God) which demands faith. God's design for man was originally a spiritual man; a man who lived by faith.  Adam's center of consciousness was dominantly on his spirit, before he was "wounded" by his transgression against the Source of life. 

    Therefore, the phrase "a man's works" in St. Peter's Epistle  in 1 Peter 1: 17 refers to the divine-ordained 'spiritual' duties.  Of course, the 'perishable being' (flesh) is weak and constantly marring the 'gist en' [it consists in, it lies in] [c] of the 'imperishable being' within; the weakened predisposition of the mortal being is always soiling the 'wounded' spiritual being of every man.  The subtle and intricate relationships between the flesh, the soul and the spirit are constantly soiling even the born again spirits. We are not only inheriting the ‘weakened seeds'  of  'flesh,' but also partaking the fate of darkened-spirits (cut off from the Source of light). The 'fall of man' explains why our consciousness is gravitated towards the intellectual capacities and nervous activities, though our spirits are obviously capable of occult practices... Nevertheless, the flesh-centered awareness of a man appeals dominantly to our five senses. Therefore, we are easily enslaved into fulfilling the desires of the 'flesh,' which also means  ceaseless ‘wounding.’ 

    As we keep on wounding ourselves every day, the ‘wounds’ have kept on ‘cutting off’  the sensitivity of our ‘wicks of our spirits from 'entering' into the 'presence of the Imperishable Seed' (the Light  of God). The phrase "...each person's work" simply refers to the messages of the prophetic prayer in "Our Father" taught by Yeshua unto all believers. Praying 'Our Father' is the trait or lifestyle for every doer of The Word of God. The redeemed children of God were prophesied to call upon God as their eternal Holy Father. Every line in that prophetic prayer reveals the very core of daily 'worship' among the born-again believers, as if it becomes their 'lifestyles.' It points to the 'spiritual works' of a spiritual man as the citizen of the Kingdom: the citizens are the doers of the Word of God. 

     The prophetic meanings of the unfolding of the words of God in that prayer reveal the very 'seeds' which would germinate into the 'imperishable' being of each believer.  The unfolding of the words in every line of the prayer of "Our Father" points to the main principles of spiritual life, so that they may grow as the fruitful citizens of the Kingdom of God. Every born again child sees that Heaven is God's 'seat' of His Sovereignty, heaven is likened to be the Father's headquarters in fulfilling his revealed wills: the Word of God or Christ. When the 'Seed' comes down on earth, then we shall see the  fulfillment of the words  of God: "...Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." If only we have that 'seed' in doing every work of God even "as small as a mustard seed," then our spiritual works shall be completed. 

    The earth was predestined to be the place for the 'spiritual' man, and God commanded them "to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it." Such divine command remained the same though the first man, formerly a spiritual man, had chosen to be independent from God's will. Since then, those who do not embrace the "seeds," as revealed in the prophetic prayer of Our Father, would unknowingly trying to subdue the earth by harnessing the lesser precepts based on the corruptible 'seeds': intellectual capacities and nervous activities." 'Be fruitful' refers to Divine will for every spiritual man. It does not to be literally interpreted as "productive procreation."[1] Procreation is merely related to the perishable seeds. God is rather concerned about "spiritual fruitfulness."[2] Prophet Isaiah revealed the Word of God: "the fruit of righteousness is peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever." (Isaiah 32: 17). 

    God’s will for every spiritual man is to multiply, if he chooses to be fruitful. When ones are fruitful, then there would be many 'seeds.' We need more seeds when we want great multiplications. Continuous multiplication is easy when it is fruitful. The Kingdom of God is likened to be the work of the yeast in rice-wine-making. Each bacteria of the yeast is producing the same product: alcohol.  Eventually they would succeed in subduing the whole lump of carbohydrates. They follow the "principles" of "to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it."[3] Our spiritual works must embrace those principles: fruitful, multiply, fill and subdue. Failure to be fruitful will cause less 'seeds,' and less seeds means slower rate of multiplying, and unproductive process in filling 'a space.' Therefore, 'unfruitfulness' is causing the unproductive process of subduing the earth. To be fruitful, we must have a complete trust in the Sower or the Giver of seeds: Christ. Witness of Christ is essentially the Spirit of prophecy, and without such, multiplication would merely fill a believer with  intellectual digest. Outwardly, we may claim that we have subdued the earth, but unless we have learned to the secret of the Kingdom,  then we would end up as the ones whom the Judge says:... "...I will come like a thief. you will not know at what time I will come to you"...(Rev. 3: 3): we need the genuine 'Seed,' in order to 'wake up' the dying inside, otherwise the Judge says "your spiritual duties becomes an incomplete work."  

    All Spiritual works are based on all the Word of God either the written words of God or the spoken word of God. St. Peter wrote in 1 Peter 1: 15: But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” "...in all you do" refers to all Word of God. We are not demanded by God to be holy in doing the things what belonged to 'Caesars'. However, we might occasionally be entrapped and tempted to sin against Him, while we seek to fulfill our duties which belong to Caesar or our employers. Nevertheless, all sins are forgivable, thus we learn to see the goodness of God's blessing. The divine exhortation "Be holy, because I am holy"  is rather practical when it is seen concerning the business of prayer, in which we are demanded to put on "the holy tunic" endowed by the Altar (the 'Way').  Thus, sinner is unable to call upon the Most Holy God, unless he is given the "Way" in covering oneself with the garment of righteousness!

    Life without "the Word of God" would incline us into lower-self life-goals as revealed by the prophetic phrases: "eating and drinking; 'brick-making'; building a city; building a tower; marriage and giving in marriage; seeking a 'name' for ourselves, and also the end-times' enslaving "buying or selling." All the above phrases are the daily chores of the 'wounded' man who seeks after the 'corruptible treasures.' When adjudged in front of the Almighty Judge, those 'works' would be as 'grain-less-sheaves or tares' which would be readily consumed by a breath upon his nostrils (Judge). Everyone who calls upon the Lord would be adjudged whether ones' works are perfect or incomplete. Those whose works found to be incomplete in the sight of God would be exhorted to obey and repent. Obeying means 'total' confidence in the things of what we are hoping for in the names of God: faith. Those 'Sardis-like-believers' are exhorted to repent because of their "incomplete works." The goals are based on corruptible 'seeds'. We understand right from the beginning that the 'wounded' man tries to justify himself in the sight of God,  just as what had been done by Adam: "sewing the fig-leaves." Doing the will of God as revealed in prayer, Our Father, "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven," must not over ride this 'basic' spiritual 'covering' in prayer. To be the doer of the Word of God, we are demanded to put on a 'perfect' (holy) 'covering' according to the Word of God.  Unless we have learned 'complete trust's in the Way, our covering would merely reverberate what Adam and Eve had done after their 'fall.'  Such "sewn-fig-leaves" covering was driven by the corruptible precepts within the unrefined believers.

    Our spiritual work must be based on the 'incorruptible seed  i.e.  the Word of God: Christ. Those who strive to please God by merely covering themselves with the "sewn fig-leaves," like what had Adam and Eve did in Eden, would definitely end up walking in 'darkness', so that they may learn to see the essence of priority in the Kingdom of God. Through divine mercy, they may see what is "precious" in their lives or else they may become 'the falling unripened fig tree fruits,' when the skies proclaim his handiwork ('name').  "But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you." (Rev. 3: 3). God reveals that those who have complete works (perfect) are those who have not soiled their garment. They are "dressed in white." Those who had learned how to dress in white would be promised that their names not to be blotted out from the book of life. And their names would be acknowledged before Our Father and his angels. (Rev. 3: 5-6).

    Only those who have been taught by the Seven-fold-Spirit in putting on the "white garment" could withstand the present of the consuming fire of the Lord. Every Prophet had learned this lesson i.e. walking in 'darkness.' For those who are walking in darkness prior to that Day of the Lord, know therefore, that darkness is not your enemy, but like sons of Korah's expression in Psalm 88:  let them say "...the darkness is my closest friends." In God's perfect knowledge and wisdom, 'darkness' is the very place to discern God's finger that once touched Jacob's peniel and transformed him to be a man who knew the meaning of 'complete trust in God.  Prophet Isaiah prophesied "Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. (Isaiah 50: 10). Trusting in the 'name' of the Lord could be discerned as "trusting completely  in the Word of God." Divine "name' means divine handiwork i.e. the Word of God (Seven-fold Spirit). Thus, "complete works" must begin with "complete trust" in the handiworks of the Seven-fold Spirit. Unless our faith is refined, our trust would linger within mental level: Without faith, God is not pleased.

    Complete trust is pleasing in the sight of the Lord. You are not accepted based on our mental precepts.  God's power could only flow into us when we have learned the basic lesson of complete trust to the 'incorruptible Seed.' Yeshua is the 'incorruptible Seed: the Seven-fold Spirit or the Word of God. All believers must be the branches to the Seven-fold Spirit in order to be able to flow into the spirit of prayer: Our Father. When unfolded by God, the prayer--Our Father would be seen as the spiritual precepts  in becoming the doers of  the Word of God. A complete trusting in the Work of God would lead us as the "overcomers:"  complete works. Without 'complete trust,' in that Seed, we couldn't overcome the world. The 'world' or 'earth' means: "eating and drinking; 'brick-making'; building a city; building a tower; marriage and giving in marriage; seeking a 'name' for ourselves, and also the end-times' enslaving "buying or selling."  Those prophetic phrases are the things men on earth do everyday. They are diverting our 'priority' as the citizens of the greater Kingdom of the King of Kings and Lord of lords. Without 'complete trust' or 'genuine faith' (even as small as mustard seed), we are unable to be  fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it.  We cannot subdue the prophetic phrases "eating and drinking; 'brick-making'; building a city; building a tower; marriage and giving in marriage; seeking a 'name' for ourselves, and also the end-times' enslaving "buying or selling," unless we have learned "complete trust" in the incorruptible "Seed." 

    Yeshua counsels, comforts and edifies us with these words: "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” ( John 16: 33).  We cannot escape ourselves from 'receiving' the "mark on the forehead and the mark on the the right hand" or the 'name' of the beast. That 'mark' is the prophesied end-times' mammon in 'brick-making' (ancient prophetic words in Genesis 11)  or "buying or selling." The 'name' or 'the handiwork' ('name') of all governments on earth is the greatest force on earth that steals away the 'priority' of every citizen of the Kingdom. That 'name' is the very core or 'the brick' for the activities of "buying or selling" on earth. Modern transaction of "buying or selling" is birthed out from modern 'Mammonism.' The post World-War II 'monetary' or the 'name' of every beast in every nation is enslaving the inhabitants of the earth. And even the "free-men" (born again followers of the 'Way') are  subjected to that "receiving" of "the mark." We cannot freed ourselves from that subtle false source of life, except we have learned the basic principle of the Word of God i.e. "to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it." This is the spiritual principle to be embraced by every citizen in the Kingdom of God.   Modern mam-monism steals away the followers' priority Matthew 6: 33. 

    Modern Mammonism ('monetary') itself in the eyes of secular view is the basic medium for "buying or selling" on earth. It is the pulsating heartbeat for 'nation-building' of all governments on earth just as the prophetic words of 'brick-making' which was the basis of 'city-building' in ancient Babel in Genesis 11. God's names are the eternal Sources of life on earth because He is the Creator and owner of this Creation. Modern monetary is the human 'handiwork' on earth: it is the 'name' of man.  Lamb of God, for example, was the 'name' or 'mission' ('handiwork') of Divine Spirit on earth. Divine handiwork is the Word of God. We are spirit creatures clothed with the flesh. In the age of the Prince of Peace, it seemed that we need both the divine 'names' and also the 'names' made by man on earth. Nonetheless, Yeshua revealed that we cannot serve two masters. 

    Yeshua's exhortation in Matthew 6: 33 suggests which one we serve, but we are somehow serving and seeking both of them. The worship is somehow like a tug of war for every believer. Only the incorruptible Seed that has the ability to empower us in subduing the 'mark' from enchanting our spirits.  The words of the ancient people at the tower of Babel kept on enchanting human race on earth.  “...come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name." And those words remind us of what the Lord had revealed unto us through Prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 46: 10: " [He is] declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done." That ancient prophetic-phrases "let us make for ourselves a name" reverberates into this present times, and the "name" we made on earth is "monetary." The leaders of the "name" are the ruler of every nation on earth. The leading ruler of the modern covenant of monetary on earth was the United States of America, and she has not yet ceased to be the money-hegemony on earth. The prophetic phrases in Genesis 11 "...let us make for ourselves a name..." prophesied to be the adversary of divine "names" on earth. Modern-'monetary', in truth, is the 'name' or 'handiwork' made by the inhabitants of the earth in the last hours; Monetary as the basis of 'nation-building' still fulfills the principle of fruitfulness of this mortal-life that glorifies "the tree of knowledge," and yet it denies the true application of fruitfulness of righteousness since monetary was birthed out in sins. It deprives us the true practice of "the true branches of the True Vine." Since our consciousness is centered on the flesh, monetary naturally becomes the 'brick' for us in every transaction of "buying or selling" in our life. It subtly devalues the divine gift of eternal life ('fullness of life'). It steals away the significance of "seeking first the kingdom of God" from every heart of the citizen of the Kingdom.

     Modern 'mammonism' diverts our spiritual "seeking" for the 'names of God:" it opposes the divine design for every spiritual man which is redeemed by the 'Seed,' so that those whom he called to in the book of life would be dependent upon the true Source of Life: the Word of God. The divine names are the Sources of life, but eventually all people on earth would be subtly enslaved with another object of "seeking:"  We seek mammon everyday, as if it is the source of life! God's Spirit, the Father of all spirits, teaches us that His "names" are the eternal Sources of life. He told us that His Sevenfold-spirit is the true treasure for every 'spiritual man'  whose names written in the book of life (Isaiah 33: 6). However, the words which keep on reverberating from ancient times "...let us make for ourselves a name..."  have become the enchanting consciousness which subtly contends against the revealed Divine 'names.'    

    No governments on earth has ever acknowledged the 'names' of God, as the Sources of life.  All peoples on earth are saying the same words from the ancient Babel: "...let us make for ourselves a name..." They are now saying the same words through the United Nations.  We are seeing the 'appearances' of the 'signs of times.'  Since 1945 CE, we have seen two horns simultaneously that "came out from the earth." The first horn was the power to achieve "peace and security" on earth, and the second horn was the authority to establish 'practical medium' for business transaction in "buying or selling" i.e. covenanted "modern-monetary."  The leading ruler is undeniably the United States of America. The establishment of the United Nations after WW 2 was fulfilling the prophetic words "like a lamb" in Revelation 13 because she says "peace and security:" the five-veto-power nations became the cabal leaders of that world governance.  That world governance does not intend to embrace the Word of God as the true source of "peace." Every spiritual man sees that the establishment of the modern mammon is likened to that ancient 'brick-making' for erecting "a tower that reached to the sky." Modern Mammonism is the basis of 'nation-building.' It is likened to 'brick-making' activities that became the basis business in erecting a tower, and building a city in East Shinar: they enslaved themselves in building "...the tower that reaches to the sky."  Thus, we are on the brink of hearing Divine pronouncement "Come, let us go down ..." We are in the last hour of modern Mammon's enslavement. Modern-Mammonism is the basis for the prophetic phrase in Revelation 13, "buying or selling." You cannot personally 'subdue' mammon in our lives, unless we have learned the basic to be the true branches of the true Vine i.e. "'complete trust" in the greatest Seed (the incorruptible Seed: the Word of God).  Only then, we  could say that we may understand the spoken message of Yeshua in John 16: 33:  "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

The  greatest ‘seed’

20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed (the incorruptible ‘Seed’~the 'Seven-fold Spirit'), you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17: 20)

    That Seed is the Word of God. The Word of God is covenanted by the divine 'handiwork' ('name'). All God's Word is "spirit and life." A genuine 'Seed,' though as small as mustard seed, is able to move a mountain of 'unbelief.' Faith that moves mountain cannot be learned overnight.  It is refined through 'personal' wilderness or darkness. Neither it can be learned through secular education nor through formal Biblical-study . 

The 'mysterious' promise 

    51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

The Creation of Man and Woman

"1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.5 Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground. 6 But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.7 Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.8 The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. 9 Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.11 The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.12 The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush.14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. 16 The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.20 The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." [d] 

The Manna from Heaven : the Sevenfold Spirit (the Word of God)

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God’” (Matthew 4: 4, NASB).

     In the beginning, as He hath seen it from the end of it as well, God created man from two types of ‘essence’: the perishable body  which sprang forth from the earth, and also from the imperishable being (spirit) which was breathed into by the nostril of God. Those two types of body were carrying the 'seeds' subtly woven in every cell of his body, and it explained why man was ‘a spirit-creature,’ and yet he was also clothed with the earthen corruptible vessel. The imperishable being clothed with the corruptible being (flesh). This truth also explains why Yeshua said: ‘Man shall not live on bread (corruptible) alone, but on every word (incorruptible) that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Matthew 4: 4).  A man has two beings in ‘one’ i.e. the perishable body and the imperishable body, though it would certainly known to be subjected to ‘darkening’ (without the Source of Light).    The literal bread represents the sustenance for the corruptible being, and the Word of God is the sustenance for the incorruptible being i.e. inter-weaved or trapped within this earthen vessel! It also explains the reason why every believer should be praying for the providence of either the corruptible food or the the incorruptible food. Therefore, our existence on earth needs two types of sustenance: the food for the flesh and the food for the spirit.

    7 Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground (corruptible being), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (incorruptible being) ; and man became a living being (Genesis 2 : 7). Originally, He designed and created man as ‘a spiritual-man.’ A spiritual man means a man whose consciousness is dominant and dependent on the tree of Life (incorruptible sustenance). So, a spiritual man means a person who is dependent on the incorruptible divine sustenance: the Word of God. We could rephrase that prophecy in verse 7: God formed man from perishable being (dust), and he breathed imperishable being into the perishable being. Then, later on man began to ‘eat’ the perishable sustenance  in Eden (the forbidden fruits from the tree of knowledge), and God had to ‘cut off’ the accessibility of Adam to that incorruptible sustenance,’ fruits of the tree of Life. Thus, God created man and woman to live by ‘faith’ in Eden i.e. total dependent upon the Word of God (the incorruptible seed)! All word of God are divine Law. God’s design for Adam and Eve was total dependency: “to live by faith.”

    The absolute spiritual divine Law in Eden is “to live by faith.” Eating the forbidden fruits from the Tree of Knowledge means failure to live by faith. And this resulted the prophetic word ‘death’ would dominate the whole being of man. Unless God endowed the ‘way’ unto the transgressor, he remained to be subjected to that power of death. Later on earth, the descendants of Adam continue to seek many schemes in order to sustain the corruptible and incorruptible being within him.  Adam's naivety, by ignoring divine laws which forbade him from eating the forbidden fruits, had activated the corruptions of both 'essence' within him:  the perishable and the imperishable. The chain-effects of that disobedience (unbelief) re-predestined  the seeds within Adam to spring forth the descendants whom God saw as  sinners: After the deluge, He said: “...the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth.”

    The account of Eden and Genesis 1 did not tell us about the dawn of mankind in literal sense.  All divine words in Genesis spoken through Prophet Moshe are prophesying about the 'ends,' and the 'beginnings' of  mankind. They reveal unto us the destiny of  the ‘seeds’ entrapped within each one of us.  And man had chosen to live by sight since Adam because “6 ...the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.” It rather  prophesied their predisposing choice in glorifying the perishable being within them. Eating the forbidden fruits of the tree of knowledge means they glorified the perishable being within them. They transgressed and defied divine instructions i.e. the incorruptible Manna. 

   They began to live by the corruptible side of man: the senses of the earthen vessel. They defied the divine ultimate design that was to live by faith in Eden. The laws of Eden says that if they ever wanted​ to stay in Eden, then “they must live by faith:” the tree of Life. A single act of failure in obeying the laws of faith caused them to be ‘cut off’ from the providence (Manna) of the Tree of Life. The rebellious man cannot partake what is incorruptible in the Kingdom of God.  It is against the Laws of Sustenance in Eden. God had to ‘cut off’ Adam from partaking the holy sustenance or the incorruptible fruits of the tree of Life. They must be holy if they ever wanted to be forever as the partakers of the ‘incorruptible food’ (the fruits of the tree of Life).

    The prerequisite in partaking the incorruptible Manna in Eden is ‘holiness.’ The consequence of defying or rebelling against the rule of holiness was to be driven out of Eden. The phrase “to be driven out of Eden”is better understood as the revelation of the truth concerning the spiritual laws of holy Manna of Eden. To be the partaker of the fruits of Tree of Life, then one must be holy. Thus, the prerequisite to be fruitful also means to be the partaker of the imperishable seed of Eden. Sinner is forbidden to take part of the fruits of the tree  of Life.  

    Therefore, a sinner means an unfruitful man in the sight of God. Sinners not only defile this earth with blood-shedding, but also frequently intend to destroy this earth, and yet God had predestined their destiny: " 18 and the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.” (Revelation 11: 18).  In the end, the destiny for those unfruitful men would be meted out in Judgment. Unless we are given the Divine ‘way,’ then sinners have no access to partake the 'Manna' of the Kingdom of God. The mythical ‘expulsion’ of Adam from Eden is, in truth, rather spiritually discerned as a prophetic revelation! So, the whole book of Genesis is prophetic revelations. The messages in the holy book of Genesis are given unto us according to the Spirit of Prophecy. It reveals that man was created from two types of essence, and they were carrying within them those two types of seeds: the corruptible seeds (flesh) and the incorruptible seeds (spirit) ! The flesh was corrupted while the spirit was darkened due to the power of 'sins.' 

    Everything is in small things (seeds), and small things (seeds) are in everything. God began the intangible and tangible realities with ‘seeds.’ God created the incorruptible ‘seeds’ from His Word (Seven-fold Spirit). And He also created the corruptible body from the ‘earth.’ Genesis 1: 26 says: Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness (Incorruptible 'seed'~spirit); and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth,and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” Man was predestined to enjoy freedom with his freewill, and to be the ruler on earth. The power of Sins entered into human’s seeds, and man began to be enslaved in sins (the power of death), and they began to wage wars against each another, seeking to dominate each another, and even endeavoring to enslave each another. Christ came to liberate us from the 'root' of the power of death, thus, that man may live again as a spiritual man. When the 'imperishable being' within a man was darkened or disconnected to its Source of Light, it needs the prophesied 'Seed' to resurrect the darkened spirit. Thus, he came ( to us), as the Lux Lucet in tenebris!

Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan "menuruti FirmanNya..." ? (Mazmur 119: 9)

14 di dalam Dia kita memiliki penebusan kita, yaitu pengampunan dosa. 
15 Ia adalah gambar Allah yang tidak kelihatan, yang sulung, lebih utama dari segala yang diciptakan, 
16 karena di dalam Dialah telah diciptakan segala sesuatu, yang ada di sorga dan yang ada di bumi, yang kelihatan dan yang tidak kelihatan, baik singgasana, maupun kerajaan, baik pemerintah, maupun penguasa; segala sesuatu diciptakan oleh Dia dan untuk Dia. (Kolose 1: 14-16).


     "Kudus" dalam konteks roh manusia yang 'luka' ('cut off' or 'wounded' ) adalah keadaan roh manusia yang telah ditahirkan menurut 'jalan'  yang menuruti 'Firman.' Daud menyanyi tentang 'jalan' yang 'suci.' Berdoa atau beribadah menuntut 'jalan' yang 'kudus' kerana ia adalah business dengan Roh Pencipta yang Suci. Ibadah seringkasnya adalah seperti semua mesej yang dinubuatkan dalam doa 'Bapa Kami.' Suci yang semulajadi ('primordially holy') adalah seperti Roh Pencipta: Bapa segala Roh. Kebenarannya ialah, hanya Roh Tuhan sahaja yang satu-satunya 'Kudus' ; purity roh Tuhan tidak berubah' (Immutable).  Walaupun manusia itu adalah mahluk roh, namun oleh kerana dagingnya berasal dari debu, maka hanya urusan 'berdoa dalam hadirat Tuhan' sahaja yang melibatkan bisnes 'purity.'

    Berurusan dengan Roh Pencipta yang 'suci' perlu "menuruti FirmanNya" kerana itulah satu-satunya 'jalan' untuk berurusan dengan Roh Tuhan yang Maha-kudus ('Pure'). Justeru itu, berdoa adalah bisnes yang menuntut 'purity' jalan bagi roh manusia untuk masuk dalam hadirat Tuhan.  Ia bukanlah 'suci' yang setara dengan Kesucian Roh Pencipta, tetapi seringkasnya sekadar "menuruti Firman" dengan 'sempurna' atau 100 % percaya.  Roh manusia keturunan Adam adalah 'impure.' Maka, "menuruti Firman" menuntut setiap orang percaya supaya mengikuti 'Jalan, Pintu, dan Kunci" secara sempurna ('perfect').  Bila Raja Daud bernyanyi: "how can a young man keep his way pure? Liriknya yang seterusnya berbunyi: "By living according to your Word" (Psalm 119: 9). Apakah maksud "menuruti Firman" dan apakah kaitannya dengan 'altar'? Bagaimana mungkin seorang anak muda seperti Daud menjadi tahir (dikuduskan), sedangkan ia beristeri lapan dan banyak gundik? Lirik Daud itu lebih menjurus kepada 'business' dalam 'doa': "Deep calls deep." Ia adalah 'the business of the Spirit of prayer.' Bisnes 'berdoa' adalah berurusan dengan 'Purity' Roh Tuhan.

    Pengikut 'Jalan' yang hidup menurut Perintah Kasih dinasihati oleh Rasul Paulus dengan kata-kata perihal 'kebebasan,' tetapi pada masa yang sama, pengikut 'Jalan' haruslah 'berhikmat' dan 'berpengertian' dalam mengecapi perihal kebebasan di dalam 'nama' Kristus: 23 "Segala sesuatu diperbolehkan." Benar, tetapi bukan segala sesuatu berguna. "Segala sesuatu diperbolehkan." Benar, tetapi bukan segala sesuatu membangun. 24 Jangan seorangpun yang mencari keuntungannya sendiri, tetapi hendaklah tiap-tiap orang mencari keuntungan orang lain. (1 Korintus 10: 23 -24).  Semua dosa adalah 'selesai' apabila diserahkan dengan 'iman' di dalam 'nama' Kristus ('Domba Tuhan'). Menuruti perintah kasih adalah 'pengurusan risiko' yang indah kerana 'kasih' adalah tenaga 'kehidupan,' namun menuruti Perintah Kasih tidaklah menjadikan kita 'sempurna' di hadapan Roh Tuhan Yang Maha-Sempurna. Tiada seorangpun yang mampu mengasihi secara sempurna kecuali Kristus! Maka, 'sempurna' adalah hanya praktikal dalam kasus urusan 'berdoa.'   Ia tidak praktikal dalam urusan 'daging' seharian. Urusan ‘berdoa’ bukanlah dibuat dengan kekuatan ‘daging.’ Yeshua berkata: “63 Rohlah yang memberi hidup, daging sama sekali tidak berguna. Perkataan-perkataan yang Kukatakan kepada mu adalah roh dan hidup.” (Yohanes 6: 63)


    Urusan ‘berdoa’ menuntut kita supaya percaya 100 % kepada “Jalan (Sevenfold Spirit), Pintu (Sevenfold Spirit)  dan Kunci (Sevenfold Spirit).” Hanya seorang sahaja manusia yang ‘sempurna’ dalam melaksanakan Firman, iaitu Anak Manusia !  Dialah Domba Tuhan yang sempurna menghapuskan dosa-dosa dunia! Percaya kepada kesempurnaan ‘Jalan’ yang menghapus semua dosa membawa kita kepada ‘pengakuan.’ Percaya kepada kesempurnaan hadiratNya melalui ‘Sevenfold Spirit’ membawa kita kepada permohonan tudungan rohaniah, iaitu ‘Divine Mercy.’ Percaya kepada kesempurnaan ‘Kunci’ membawa kita kepada memohon karunia ‘Takut akan Allah’ (Yesaya 33: 6). 8 Berbahagialah orang yang suci hatinya (berarti~ ‘suci roh’), karena mereka akan ‘melihat Allah’ [berarti ~ ‘memasuki hadirat’] (Matius 5: 8). “Berbahagia” berarti ''menerima berkat' kerana anugerah Tuhan. Raja Daud memang tiada 'Kayu Salib' di bumi, namun ia menuruti si Pemberi 'Altar' itu, iaitu Roh Tujuh Lapis; ia (Raja Daud) menuruti Firman (Roh-Tujuh-Lapis)! Yang memberi 'Jalan' kepada Raja Daud untuk menjadi 'sempurna' di dalam hadirat Roh Tuhan adalah anugerah Roh Tujuh Lapis: Roh Tujuh Lapis ialah peribadi Firman! “...takut akan TUHAN, itulah ‘harta benda’ (‘Kunci’)  Sion” (Roh ‘Sion’ adalah ‘Roh-Tujuh-Lapis’). (Yesaya 33: 6). Maka, sekarang fahamlah kita apakah maksud Daud menyanyikan lirik "menuruti Firman" dalam Mazmur 119: 9. Dasar iman adalah 'menuruti Firman.' Firman itu adalah peribadi Roh-Tujuh-lapis yang bersuara dan domba-domba mendengarkan 'suara' itu, lalu menurutiNya.

    Tuhan adalah Pencipta dan empunya langit dan bumi. Sebagai Pencipta yang sempurna, ia telah menetapkan ciptaan Nya dari semula, supaya menuruti ketentuan-ketentuan Ilahi, agar ia selayaknya dinubuatkan "sungguh baik sekali." Tanpa ketentuan-ketentuan Ilahi, maka sudah pasti ia tidak ada 'jaminan'. Kesempurnaan ciptaan Tuhan disahihkan dengan kewujudan 'jaminan,' iaitu Kristus. Kristus adalah 'jaminan' kepada kesempurnaan semua ciptaan Tuhan. Kristus itulah ketentuan-ketentuan kepada Ciptaan Tuhan yang sempurna. Tanpa 'jaminan, maka sudah tentu ciptaan Tuhan tidaklah sempurna, dan juga sudah tentu tidak ada 'jaminan' keselamatan!

    Ketentuan-ketentuan itu juga disebut sebagai 'Order Melchizedec' atau ordo Raja Kebenaran. Kristus adalah Raja Kebenaran itu. Kristus juga dinubuatkan sebagai "...namaNya ialah Firman Tuhan." ("...his handiwork ('name') is the Word of God"). Santo Yohanes melihat dan menerima Roh kebenaran menurut janji Raja Kebenaran, maka ia menulis injil dengan rangkai-kata yang berbunyi: Pada mulanya Firman dan Firman itu ada bersama-sama dengan Allah dan Firman itu adalah Allah (Yoh. 1: 1).

    Kristus adalah Firman yang datang menjadi manusia! Maka, pada mulanya adalah Kristus, kerana Firman adalah ketentuan-ketentuan yang ditetap oleh Roh Tuhan, sebelumpun segala sesuatu dijadikan oleh Roh Tuhan yang Esa. Ia juga berarti bahawa segala sesuatu dijadikan Tuhan di dalam Kristus, untuk Kristus dan kepada Kristus kerana ciptaan mestilah mengikuti ketentuan-ketentuan Ilahi, yaitu the word of God. Maka, Kristus sesungguhnya adalah 'ketentuan-ketentuan Allah' untuk ciptaan Allah. Ketentuan itu kita fahami sebagai the Word of God. Maka, itulah sebabnya "pada mulanya Firman...dan Firman itu adalah Allah. Semua Firman Allah adalah 'roh' dan hidup. (Yoh. 6:63). 'Karya' Roh Allah Bapa adalah Firman: Kristus.

    Kristus adalah 'Karya' Bapa yang 'dilihat' oleh orang percaya di bumi sebagai "Firman yang datang  sebagai manusia." Ia menjadi manusia supaya 'Kehendak Kasih' Tuhan di bumi menjadi sempurna sebagaimana dengan pernyataanNya di Sorga. Sebab itulah dia perlu datang sebagai manusia; "...jadilah kehendak Mu di bumi seperti di Sorga" adalah Roh Nubuat yang terkandung dalam doa Bapa Kami! (Matius 6: 9-14). Sifat Kasih Roh Tuhan yang Esa bila ia berkehendak, maka ia dinyatakan di Sorga sebagai Mezbah (Altar~ini dilihat dengan Penglihatan Roh sebagaimana yang dilihat oleh Nabi Yesaya). Penglihatan "Altar Sorgawi" adalah "kehendak Kasih" Ilahi, sebagaimana yang telah dilihat melalui penglihatan "prophetic vision" oleh Nabi Isaiah dalam Isaiah 6. Nabi Yesaya sebenarnya melihat pernyataan atau pengungkapan 'kehendak kasih-Ilahi ' dalam penglihatan Roh: "kehendak Kasih" Tuhan yang dilihat di Sorga.

    "Sifat Kasih" Ilahi jika "berkehendak" untuk mengasihi semua manusia yang berdosa telahpun 'ditetapkan dari semula' oleh Roh Tuhan yang sempurna, sebagai karya diungkapkan dan diupacarakan melalui 'ritus' "Mezbah." Pernyataan Kasih-Ilahi itu, yaitu 'ritus' Mezbah, adalah menurut Kristus ataupun menurut Ordo Melchizedek. Kristus adalah 'Rahasia Allah' dalam semua 'karya penciptaan kerana di dalam dialah 'berdiamnya' segala ketentuan-ketentuan ('Hikmat). 'Hikmat ini dianugerahkan kepada mereka yang tertulis namanya dalam buku kehidupan. Maka, Kristus adalah 'Jaminan' keselamatan untuk umat manusia yang telah diberikan kehendak bebas. Dosa masuk kepada umat manusia melalui satu orang, yaitu bapa Adam yang telah dianugerahkan dengan kehendak bebas. Tanpa ketentuan-ketentuan Ilahi dari yang semula, sudah pasti manusia yang "wounded" tidak akan memiliki 'jaminan' keselamatan: Altar yang "sudah selesai" diupacarakan di bumi adalah 'jaminan' curahan 'Berkat' menurut Kasih Allah Bapa.

    'Firman' telah menyingkapkan dari alpha dan omega bahawasanya berkat dari upacara "Altar" adalah mengalir dari "Kehendak sifat-Kasih" Ilahi. Manusia yang menuruti ajaran Ordo Melchizedek adalah menganuti Ibadah 'Jalan' Altar. Ibadah 'jalan' altar sama-ada dalam Perjanjian Lama atau Baru adalah ajaran 'nama' Tuhan, iaitu 'Kasih' (Yoh. 3: 16). Maka, manusia yang menuruti 'jalan' altar adalah manusia yang belajar untuk mengasihi Tuhan yang Maha-kasih. Habel mendirikan altar dan menuruti 'jalan' altar, maka Habel dikatakan mengasihi Tuhan (Kejadian 4); Tuhan memberikan 'kasih karunia' kepada Abel, sedangkan Kain tidaklah mendapat 'Kasih karunia' dari 'Nama' Tuhan 'Kasih,' kerana ia tidak menuruti jalan altar  itu dengan 'penuh kepercayaan.' Semua patriarchs mendirikan dan mengupacara 'jalan' Altar, kerana mereka adalah penerima ajaran 'Kasih karunia' Tuhan. Dengan melalui Jalan altar, maka mereka belajar 'berdoa-diperdamaikan' dengan Roh Tuhan; mereka mula berusaha untuk mengasihi Tuhan.

    Ibadah altar bukan hanya sebagai 'jalan' untuk menyelesaikan dosa-dosa mengikuti ketentuan-ketentuan Ilahi yang maha-Kasih, tetapi Ia adalah 'jalan' untuk belajar mengasihi Tuhan dan juga untuk mendapatkan berkat Tuhan.  Ia juga difahami sebagai ajaran Ilahi menurut Ordo Melchizedek. Pembenaran manusia yang berdosa adalah menuruti Jalan Altar. Itu adalah Ketetapan Tuhan yang 'memberkati' hari  yang ke-tujuh. Kehendak 'SifatNya' yang 'Kasih' (agape love), dinyatakan melalui "Penglihatan Roh di Sorga" dan ia dilihat sebagai 'Mezbah' dan ada Malaikat Seraphim yang melayani 'Kehendak' Kasih. Altar atau Mezbah itu adalah kehendak Kasih.

    Yohanes bersaksi: "Kerana betapa besar 'Kasih' Tuhan kepada Dunia, sehingga ia mengutus anakNya yang tunggal (Domba Tuhan)..." Lebih 700 tahun sebelum Kayu Salib Yeshua telah menyempurnakan altar di bumi, Nabi Yesaya telah melihat  "Kehendak Kasih" Tuhan di Sorga berserta malaikat Seraphim yang melayani Mezbah itu. Malah, Yesaya telah ditahirkan oleh 'bara api' dari Mezbah Sorgawi (Kehendak 'Kasih Tuhan  yang dilihat di Sorga) melalui pelayanan Malaikat Seraphim. Penglihatan itu adalah bernubuat tentang "Kehendak Kasih" Ilahi yang kelak telah disempurnakan oleh Yeshua di atas Kayu Salib.!

    Bila Firman menjadi manusia dalam peribadi Yeshua, dan dia telah mempersembahkan diriNya sebagai "Domba Tuhan yang menghapus dosa-dosa dunia," maka kita telah melihat bagaimana "kehendak (Kasih) Tuhan di bumi itu telah terjadi seperti di Sorga." Kasih Tuhan dari semula, sebelumpun segala sesuatu telah dijadikan, bahawasanya ia 'ditetapkan ssupaya dinyatakan melalui Altar. Altar adalah 'ketentuan' kehendak Kasih. Jalan Altar adalah ketentuan untuk manusia berdosa ssupaya dapat belajar mengasihi semula Sang Pencipta yang bersifat 'Kasih: God is Love. Altar yang diupacarakan menurut ritus-ritus purbakala seperti yang dianuti oleh Abel dan para patriarchs adalah sesungguhnya menuruti ajaran kehendak 'Kasih' Tuhan. Maka, kepercayaan kepada 'jalan Altar' adalah ajaran dari Roh Tuhan yang bersifat "Kasih."

    Beribadah atau 'berdoa' memerlukan 'Jalan' yang 'suci.' Raja Daud bernyanyi: "how can a young man keep his way pure? Liriknya yang seterusnya berbunyi: "By living according to your Word." (Psalm 119: 9). Apakah maksud "hidup menurut Firman" dan kaitannya dengan 'jalan' ritus 'altar'? Bagaimana mungkin seorang anak muda seperti Daud menjadi tahir (pure), sedangkan ia beristeri lapan dan banyak gundik? Jawapannya ringkas sekali, yaitu "menuruti Firman." Tapi, Firman yang dinyanyikan Daud itu adalah merujuk Roh Tuhan yang menganugerahkan 'Kasih Karunia! Firman itu adalah Roh Tujuh lapis yang menganugerahkan 'Kasih Karunia. Roh Tujuh lapis menganugerahkan karunia operasi Roh Ilahi yang dinubuatkan sebagai "fear of the Lord," agar Tuhan bergaul karib dengan roh Raja Daud. Dengan 'Kasih Karunia Ilahi, kita akan belajar lapar akan Firman. Itulah yang dimaksudkan raja Daud tentang menuruti Firman, yaitu memiliki "relationship" dengan Roh Firman, Kristus. Bergaul karib dengan Roh Tujuh Lapis menuruti Jalan, Pintu dan Kunci: Firman! Raja Saul kecundang ditolak Tuhan kerana ia berusaha menuruti Firman menurut fikirannya sendiri.  Raja Saul gagal menuruti 'suara' Firman atau 'relationship' dengan Roh Tuhan.

    Disingkapkan bahawa "nama" Kristus adalah the Word of God (Wahyu 19: 13). Hakikatnya, Daud sudah lama memiliki 'relationship' seperti "ranting kepada Pohon Kehidupan,' sebelumpun nabi Samuel datang untuk menyampaikan 'suara' Firman yang telah memilih Daud menjadi Raja Israel menggantikan Raja Saul. Daud memang seorang yang penurut kepada 'suara' Firman. Praktik poligaminya adalahkelemahan peribadi Raja Daud yang dapat ditanggung oleh Kasih-Karunia Tuhan secara ajaib. Lirik Daud dapat menyingkapkan perihal 'Kasih Karunia' itu melalui dengan lirik nyanyian : "Praise be to the God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens (dosa-dosa)" (Psalm 68: 19).

    Semua Firman dari Genesis sehingga Revelation adalah disampaikan menurut Roh Nubuat, yaitu Roh Kristus. Firman itu dari semula adalah Roh Kristus: Itulah 'Rahasia' Allah. Selain daripada "Deep calls deep" yang dianugerahkan oleh mezbah Sorgawi kepada Daud, 'Firman' itu juga bersuara kepada Raja Daud melalui 'pemberitaan 'jalan' mengikuti pengupacaraan hukum Taurat, dan juga melalui 'mulut-mulut' Tuhan di Tanah Suci seperti nabi Samuel dan nabi Nathan. Memang Daud tidak ada Salib Kristus di bumi seperti yang dikenali oleh umat Perjanjian Baru, namun ia menerima anugerah Mezbah Sorgawi, yaitu kehendak 'Kasih' Sorgawi atau pun 'Kasih-Karunia' Ilahi.

    Nabi Yesaya pun demikian juga seperti Daud. Mereka sudah tentu tidak mengecapi penyelesaian dosa-dosa melalui Salib Kristus di bumi walaupun ternyata mereka menyampaikan nubuatan-nubuatan perihal 'penggenapan' "Altar di bumi seperti Altar di Sorga" itu. Namun, mereka telah menerima anugerah kehendak "Kasih-Ilahi," yaitu dinyatakan sebagai Mezbah Sorgawi. 'Kasih Karunia" Ilahi dianugerahkan kepada Daud melalui operasi roh-tujuh-lapis. Maka, Daud adalah penerima Kasih karunia Tuhan. Dengan berkat Kasih Karunia, Roh tujuh Lapis Tuhan (Firman) beroperasi dan bergaul karib dengan 'roh' Raja Daud, sejak dari zaman remajanya. Melalui anugerah operasi Roh Pengertian, Daud mengenali sifat KASIH" Roh Tuhan, dan juga Sifat BELAS-KASIHAN Ilahi, maka Daud senantiasa berkeyakinan kepada sifat-sifat Ilahi (Keluaran 34: 6). Imani seperti Daud adalah dasar keyakinan kepada pengharapan dalam memohon penyelesaian dosa-dosa atau pentahiran dosa-dosa, dan juga keyakinan anugerah 'tudungan' rohani (spiritual covering).  Daud dikenan Tuhan dan dan dapat bertahan ('withstand') di dalam Hadirat Roh Tuhan yang Maha-Suci. Daud yang menuruti Firman (Roh Tujuh lapis) adalah Daud yang telah belajar menjadi "ranting kepada Pohon Kehidupan": "menuruti Firman" itu adalah suatu "total dependency" kepada Sumber Kehidupan (Raja segala raja) yang juga dinubuatkan sebagai "...namaNya ialah the Word of God." ('Nama' bermaksud 'handiwork').

    Sumber kehidupan itu bersifat 'kasih,' dan kasihNya menzahirkan Altar Sorgawi, dan bila ia turun ke bumi, maka altar di bumi itu menganugerahkan 'Kasih Karunia: altar di bumi kemudiannya menjadi sempurna seperti 'kehendak' 'Kasih di Sorga (Mezbah Sorgawi) apabila Yeshua menyelesaikan misi, yaitu 'nama' Domba Tuhan. Altar Sorgawi (kehendak Kasih Ilahi) yang turun ke bumi adalah jalan kepada orang percaya untuk meminta permulaan 'Hikmat,' yaitu operasi karunia 'takut akan Tuhan.'

    Kasih-Karunia dianugerahkan kepada manusia berdosa yang ternyata banyak kelemahan 'daging' dan senantiasa berdosa, seperti Raja Daud yang memiliki lapan isteri dan ramai gundik. Tuhan yang 'Kasih' itu sesungguhnya menganugerahkan 'Kasih Karunia, maka, keselamatan atau janji masuk Sorga itu adalah urusan 'anugerah' Tuhan. Daud yang berpoligami itu adalah penerima 'Kasih Karunia.' Namun, akibat-akibat praktik poligaminya adalah tanggungan Daud sendiri. Nabi Moshe dikenan Tuhan kerana Tuhan berfirman "engkau dikenan di hadapanKu kerana engkau telah dianugerahkan 'Kasih Karunia.'"

    Umat Perjanjian Baru mempunyai 'jaminan' untuk dikenan Tuhan kerana Salib Kristus senantiasa berbicara tentang 'diterima, ditebus, ditahirkan, dibebaskan dan setia mengampuni.' Maka, Altar Sorgawi yang turun di bumi itu, yaitu kematian Domba Tuhan di Kayu Salib sebagai Altar di bumi yang diupacarakan oleh Imam Agung Sorgawi Melkisedek adalah pernyataan KASIH KARUNIA Allah Bapa yang sempurna kepada semua manusia yang tertulis nama mereka dalam Buku Kehidupan. "Kerana betapa Besar 'Kasih Allah kepada dunia..."(Yoh. 3: 16). Altar itu dari semula, iaitu sejak zaman Abel, adalah 'jalan' untuk bergaul karib dengan Roh Tuhan.

    Apakah gunanya bergaul karib dengan Roh Tuhan? "Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Yeshua Christ whom You have sent." (John 17: 3). Ada Nabi-nabi Perjanjian Lama yang mengenali sifat-sifat Tuhan tanpa 'jalan' altar di bumi menurut ibadah Taurat, seperti Nabi Daniel yang jelas hanya berdoa dalam kamarnya secara sembunyi-sembunyi. Nabi Daniel ternyata mengenali Roh Tuhan melalui operasi Roh tujuh lapis dan juga utusan Tuhan, yaitu malaikat, namun bukanlah semua nabi-nabi dan orang-orang suci mengetahui Rahasia Allah, yaitu Kristus. Umat Perjanjian Baru mengetahui Rahasia Allah iaitu Kristus. Berkat Tuhan yang 'Kasih tidaklah menambahi penderitaan kita melainkan kitalah yang menambahi penderitaan kita sendiri. Raja Solomon melihat fitrah 'Kasih Karunia Ilahi dengan berkata: "The blessing of the Lord brings forth wealth, he (G-d) adds no sorrow to it." Yeshua yang datang mengenapi Penebusan sebagai Domba Tuhan yang sempurna, Pengantara Sempurna dan Sumpahan Perjanjian Damai adalah Berkat Immanuel yang memberkati Umat manusia!

"...bukalah mulutmu lebar-lebar, maka Aku akan membuatnya penuh." (Mazmur 81: 10)

10 Akulah TUHAN, Allahmu, yang menuntun engkau keluar dari tanah Mesir ('penghambaan'): bukalah mulut mu lebar-lebar, maka Aku akan membuatnya penuh.

11 Tetapi umat-Ku tidak mendengarkan suara-Ku, dan Israel ('umat Tuhan') tidak suka kepada-Ku.

12 Sebab itu Aku membiarkan dia dalam kedegilan hatinya; biarlah mereka berjalan mengikuti rencananya sendiri! (Mazmur 81: 10-12).

Jadi Ia merendahkan hatimu, membiarkan engkau lapar dan memberi engkau makan manna, yang tidak kaukenal dan yang juga tidak dikenal oleh nenek moyangmu, untuk membuat engkau mengerti, bahwa manusia hidup bukan dari roti saja, tetapi manusia hidup dari segala yang diucapkan TUHAN ( Ulangan 8: 3)

Tetapi Yesus menjawab: "Ada tertulis: Manusia hidup bukan dari roti saja, tetapi dari setiap firman yang keluar dari mulut Allah." (Matius 4: 4).

_________________________________________

    Firman Tuhan menjelaskan bahawa kehendak Tuhan bagi Adam dan Eve di Eden adalah menuruti kehendakNya, iaitu memakan buah yang hanya dari Pohon Kehidupan! Mesej itu bernubuat bahawa mahluk roh manusia yang dibaluti 'tanah-liat' hendaklah hidup menuruti Firman. Meskipun manusia keturunan Adam itu 'luka,' kehendak Tuhan masih tidak berubah, yaitu mengkehendaki manusia, supaya 'hidup menurut setiap Firman' Tuhan. Umat Tuhan yang  dianugerahkan kasih-karunia adalah diseru untuk 'makan' Firman. Daging ternyata meneruskan hayatnya dengan "makan dan minum." Kasih Karunia menganugerahkan 'altar' perdamaian kerana sifat Tuhan yang penyayang dan pengasihani. SifatNya yang 'kasih' menganugerahkan 'jalan' untuk menyelesaikan dosa (impurities). Ordo Melkisedek menurunkan ajaran perihal 'Altar' perdamaian kepada umat pilihan Tuhan. Bani Israel adalah penerima 'jalan' perdamaian melalui ajaran Taurat, yaitu 'jalan' melalui ritus-ritus penebusan. Maka, ia dinubuatkan sebagai "perempuan."

    Tuhan berfirman kepada semua umat Tuhan dengan 'Firman yang berbunyi: "...bukalah mulutmu lebar-lebar, maka Aku akan membuatnya penuh." Apakah maksud Tuhan menyeru bani Israel yang sedang berjalan dalam perjalanan iman, agar mereka membukakan mulut lebar-lebar? Bagaimana pula roh manusia itu dikatakan dapat membuka mulut? Kita tahu bahawa semua perkataan Tuhan adalah 'roh' (Yoh. 6: 63), maka maksud lirik nyanyian dalam Mazmur 81: 10 adalah merujuk kepada roh manusia yang perlu 'makan.' Jika kita amati  anak-anak burung pipit dalam sarang, kita akan dapati mereka 'membuka paruh' luas-luas agar indung pipit senang memasukkan makanan ke dalam setiap paruh anak-anak pipit. Biar sebanyak manapun makanan yang dijatuhkan oleh indung pipit, jika anak pipit tidak membukakan mulutnya lebar-lebar, sudah pasti ia tidak akan mendapat makanan, dan seolah-olah tiada 'makanan' yang diberikan!

                                   

"...bukalah mulutmu lebar-lebar..."

      

    Kristus itu adalah Pohon Kehidupan. Namun, anak-anak Tuhan tidak akan mendapat 'manna dari Sorga,' jika mereka tidak "membukakan mulut lebar-lebar." Fikiran harafiah akan membuat rumusan: bagaimana mungkin roh manusia ada mulut? Apakah arti rohaniah frasa "membuka mulut lebar-lebar" itu? Jika ia adalah 'roti ekaristi,' pastinya tiadalah masalah kerana ia memang dimakan dengan mulut sebenar dan dilaksanakan dalam 'iman.' Namun, bagaimana pula dengan doa harian dalam doa "Bapa Kami" (Matius 6: 9-14) yang menjelaskan bahawa kita perlu meminta  "Manna" dari Sorga setiap hari? Apakah mungkin benar roh kita sesungguhnya ada 'mulut' untuk makan ('suara') Firman?

    Makanan untuk tubuh fizikal masuk melalui mulut harafiah  kita, kemudian masuk melalui sistem penghadaman zat-zat makanan. Santapan untuk intelek pula memasuki aktiviti intelek dengan adanya lima pintu deria daging manusia.  Namun, "roh manusia" makan 'manna dari Sorga' melalui "sumbu roh manusia," ataupun tempat 'lidah api' Roh Kudus hinggap pada roh manusia sepertimana yang disingkapkan oleh sons of Korah perihal "Deep calls deep" dalam Mazmur 42, dan juga sepertimana yang dibicarakan oleh Job dalam Job 29: 3. Maka, memakan 'biji sesawi dari Sorga' atau "Manna Sorgawi" adalah urusan yang melibatkan 'percaya' kepada Jalan, Pintu dan 'Kunci' roh Tuhan. Adalah mustahil sekali Tuhan mahu mendengar doa orang yang berdosa; Tuhan tidak akan berkenan kepada doa orang yang berdosa kecuali, orang berdosa itu dianugerahkan dengan "Jalan" untuk melepaskan dirinya dari dosa-dosa. Yeshua berkata "Akulah Jalan:" Altar Domba Tuhan adalah "Jalan" bagi menyelesaikan semua dosa-dosa, supaya doa kita dikenan oleh Roh Tuhan. Hadirat Roh Tujuh Lapis adalah "Pintu Yeshua" di sepanjang zaman Raja Damai. Tanpa hadirat Roh Kudus, maka tiadalah hadirat 'Pintu Roh Tuhan' untuk kita  memasuki ke dalam 'kamar' terdalam itu;  'meja makan' bagi makanan roh orang percaya hanya terdapat dalam kamar 'terdalam.'

    Oleh kerana pusat kesedaran orang percaya masih dominan pada 'daging,' maka bagaimana mungkin seseorang percaya untuk menjadi 'lapar' kepada Firman? Daging sudah tentu tidak memerlukan 'Manna dari Sorga' kerana daging jelas sekali hanya mengkehendaki perkara-perkara seperti frasa-nubuat "makan dan minum, kahwin dan mengahwinkan, membuat batu-bata dengan membakar tanah liat dengan baik-baik, dan juga membeli -menjual," sedangkan Manna adalah urusan 'roh.'

    Justeru itu, hanya manusia yang dianugerahkan dengan karunia "takut akan Tuhan"  sahaja yang akan mengecapi urusan  "...Tuhan bergaul-karib." (Mazmur 25: 14).  "Membuka mulut lebar-lebar" adalah suatu frasa Ilahi yang menyingkapkan keadaan roh seseorang percaya yang dianugerahkan dengan karunia-karunia Roh Tuhan Tujuh Lapis itu. Tanpa 'operasi' khusus karunia "takut akan Tuhan," maka sukarlah sekali roh manusia itu 'lapar' akan "Manna dari Sorga."  Dalam konteks umat Ibrani dalam Perjanjian Lama, lirik Maz. 81: 10 adalah merujuk kepada kerelaan dan iman dalam menuruti pemberitaan Tuhan melalui mulut-mulutNya, yaitu nabi-nabi Tuhan. Ternyata mereka menolak mulut-mulutNya yang ia utus! Dalam konteks umat Perjanjian Baru, ia merujuk kepada kesungguhan orang-orang percaya dalam meminta "Manna" dalam 'nama' Kristus. 

    Urusan meminta 'Manna' adalah urusan keutamaan bagi mereka yang mencari "Kerajaan Allah" (Mat. 6: 33). Ia melibatkan pengertian dan hikmat perihal menuruti "Jalan, Pintu dan Kunci."  Tanpa pengertian dan hikmat mengenai Jalan, Pintu dan Kunci, maka meskipun Sumber Kehidupan itu dengan murah hati mencurahkan berkat "Manna," maka semuanya akan seolah-olah 'tiada' Manna yang turun dari Sorga dalam menggenapi doa "...berilah kami 'makanan' hari ini yang secukupnya." 'Mulut' yang tertutup umpama air dicurahkan di atas daun keladi; semuanya kesia-siaan belaka! Mulut yang dibuka lebar-lebar adalah seperti anak-anak pipit yang lapar dan senantiasa bersedia menerima makanan dijatuhkan kedalam mulut mereka; bersedia untuk makan  hanya bisa terjadi apabila karunia "takut akan Tuhan" itu dipinta setiap hari dalam 'nama' Kristus. 

    Karunia "takut akan Tuhan" adalah 'kunci' untuk membukakan pintu harta-Karun Sion (Isaiah 33: 6). Hati (roh) yang direndami oleh karunia "takut akan Tuhan" akan dapat diajar oleh Roh Tuhan untuk memfokuskan roh nya kepada Harta Sion ('Manna').   Yeshua berkata "di mana hartamu, disanalah hatimu berada." Tetapi hati (roh) manusia yang senantiasa 'conscious' akan daging dengan kelima-lima derianya, tidaklah bersukacita untuk "membukakan mulut dengan lebar-lebar." Roh manusia yang dianugerahkan dengan karunia "takut akan Tuhan" sahaja yang bersukacita dan ghairah untuk "membuka mulut lebar-lebar." 

    Daging hanya ghairah dengan harta dunia dan perkara-perkara dunia, iaitu frasa nubuat berikut: "makan dan minum; membuat batu-bata; kahwin dan mengahwinkan dan juga membeli atau menjual." Oleh kerana pusat kesedaran kita adalah dominan pada daging, maka keghairahan kita adalah harta dunia, dan justeru itu, ia menjelaskan kenapa kita tidak menyukai untuk "membuka mulut lebar-lebar." Kita membutuhkan karunia "takut akan Tuhan" kerana ia adalah permulaan Hikmat atau dalam bahasa mudahnya, 'karunia' itulah yang menjelaskan kenapa "Tuhan bergaul karib" dengan orang percaya! (Psalm 25: 14; Job 28: 28; Prov. 1: 7; Isaiah 33: 6). Saranan Yeshua yang berbunyi "Carilah dahulu Kerajaan Allah..." dalam Mat. 6: 33 juga menyingkap mesej "menjadi ranting pada Pohon Kehidupan" sebagaimana yang difirmankan oleh Tuhan Yahweh dalam lirik nabi Asaph "...bukalah mulutmu lebar-lebar, maka Aku akan membuatnya penuh" (Mazmur 81: 10).
 
    Tapi frasa yang menyarankan agar umat Tuhan "membuka mulut' lebar-lebar" adalah suatu perjuangan 'tarik-tali' yang berat sekali kerana pada jam terakhir zaman Perdamaian, Mammon sebagai 'karya' atau 'nama' manusia telah menindan 'karya' Tuhan sehingga semua manusia berjalan terhuyung-hayang; kita semua terhuyung-hayang dalam mengabdikan diri atau beribadah kepada Sumber Hidup sejati. Mammon atau 'karya-duit' (monetary) dan juga dinubuatkan sebagai 'nama' binatang dua tanduk telah menindan kedudukan Tuhan di hati manusia sebagai objek penyembahan (ibadah). Tidak hairanlah kenapa Yeshua berkata: " ...tiada orang yang dapat beribadah (mengabdikan diri) kepada Mammon dan Tuhan.. .kamu (orang percaya) tidaklah dapat melayani-beribadah kepada dua tuan." Mammon menindan 'conciousness' percaya dan merosakkan "anggur dan minyak" sehingga orang-orang percaya lemas dan Lemah untuk beribadah kepada "nama" Tuhan. Maka, tidak hairanlah kenapa semua manusia menerima "tanda di dahi dan tanda di tangan' itu": 666.

    Kerana "nama" ('karya') binatang dua tanduk yang keluar dari bumi itulah juga yang mengheret seluruh Dunia ke Medan peperangan yang dinubuatkan dalam Why.9: 16.  200 juta soldadu akan berperang di sana (dekat' Euphrates) kerana "monetari'." Monetary (the handiwork of money) is the root of all evils. Jika ada keadilan, duit dapat dipakai untuk 'karya yang baik, namun ketidak-adilan menjerumuskan manusia kepada pelbagai kejahatan. Kerajaan daging dan penguasa-penguasa dunia dalam menguasai 'kuasa 'duit' adalah jawapan kepada kenapa ada 200 juta askar akan berperang menggenapi Why. 9:16.  'Monetari' adalah suatu dimensi medan peperangan akhir zaman yang melibatkan kuasa-kuasa pemerintah. Sebenarnya, sebelum pun arsenal disusun dan sebelumpun senjata meletup, 'monetary' telah lama berperang sebagai medan peperangan bagi penguasa-penguasa bangsa-bangsa di dunia. 

    Tanda asli, yaitu "tanda di dahi dan tanda di tangan" dari Ilahi adalah merujuk kepada Ikatan Perjanjian Paskah (Mezbah) yang menuntut umat Tuhan supaya beribadah kepada Tuhan dengan menuruti semua perintah Tuhan. Tanda palsu disingkapkan dengan frasa yang sama, yaitu "tanda di dahi dan tanda di tangan" atau 'karya' (nama) manusia, namun ia mengikat dan menghambakan umat manusia kepada semua perjanjian 'monetari' serta segala hukum-hukum monetary. Yeshua berfirman: 21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ...24  No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."  (Matthew 6: 21, 24, NIV) 


    Ia menindan tanda yang asli (ibadah kepada Sumber Kehidupan); ia merebut penyembahan kepada Tuhan dari umat manusia! Ia menindan 'Sumber Kehidupan' itu kerana ia berfungsi sebagai 'nadi dan darah' atau 'oksigen' kepada semua kerajaan, semua bangsa dan kepada segala transaksi kehidupan manusia sejagat. Ia memungkinkan kehidupan umat manusia di 'jam' yang terakhir, agar senantiasa sibuk dan ditaklukkan kepada aktiviti "membeli atau menjual." Bila semua bangsa berkata "marilah kita...mencari nama," maka kita tahu reaksi Tuhan akan berbunyi: "Marilah kita turun..." Ada nubuatan yang berbunyi bahawa apabila umat manusia sejagat berkata sebanyak 'dua dan tiga kali' mengenai dengan "nama" yang mereka cari, maka sudah pasti Tuhan akan berkata "marilah kita turun...." Pemerintah-pemerintah kepada 'karya' manusia akan menjadi 'amarah,' tetapi suara Tuhan akan kedengaran "ada suara Tuhan di atas air besar..."

Psalm 20: 1 - 9

Psalm 20

For the choir director; a psalm by David.

1 Yahweh will answer you in times of trouble.
    The "name" of the Elohim of Jacob will protect you.
2 He will send you help from his holy place
    and support you from Zion (personal note: the soul of the Church i.e. the Sevenfold Spirit).
3 He will remember all your grain offerings (representing praises & thanksgiving)
    and look with favor on your burnt offerings (Personal note: all burnts offerings are already fulfilled in Christ's names). Selah
4 He will give you your heart’s desire
    and carry out all your plans.
5 We will joyfully sing about your victory.
    We will wave our flags (Personal note: "victory of the Kingdom of God") in the "name" of our Elohim.
Yahweh will fulfill all your requests.

6 Now I know that Yahweh will give victory to his anointed king (those anointed heirs [princes and princessess]
    He will answer him from his holy heaven
        with mighty deeds of his powerful hand (Yeshua with His mighty mighty warriors)
7 Some rely on chariots and others on horses (human strength), but we will boast in the name of Yahweh our Elohim.
 8 They will sink to their knees and fall, but we will rise and stand firm.
9 Give victory to the king (the citizens of the Kingdom), O Yahweh.
    Answer us when we 'call'  (Acts 2: 21).
(Note: The business of calling His 'name' demands genuine faith in the Way, the Door and the Key).
