THE PRIESTHOOD: and when the gates of hell DO prevail

THE PRIESTLY: Pillar and Post, doors and gates, and altars: 

When the gates of hell prevail in/over a man: 

faith without works— is a dead faith, and man.

2 Chronicles 29:7

“Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.”

Psalm 24:7

“Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; 

and the King of glory shall come in.”

The Lord is constantly showing me that the written word of God has literal-physical world implications (things played out, and the understanding of them); but as well, literal-spiritual understanding and implications to be taken in— as the Spirit of God brings us into all truth, and takes us deeper into the revelation of Jesus Christ in our hearts.  This is one of those teachings, revelations, and understandings regarding —the tabernacle experience with God holy, true, and loving; and the ongoing revelation of the burning ones, and the ways in which they ‘do’ burn.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The Pillar— is the living memorial/life of a man unto his God/god.  

The Post is the place in which the door/gate hangs; and unto which God/god he is given to— will reveal the structure that is laid to erect and maintain that door/gate, God/god, and kingdom.  

The doors and gates are the locked or unlocked way in (prohibited or permitted entrance), upon which the porch is laid to walk (the porch is the beginning of the narrow way).  

The porch is an entrance and a platform (a foundational entrance); where the inner journey begins.   

After one has understood he is a pillar unto his God/god, a living memorial and life/vessel, carrier of a spiritual master and guide.  He will understand that this master and guide/headship over him— will be present as pillar/cloud, and influence his life, making him a living or dead pillar himself (as like his God/god).  

The structure that will hold this man as a gateway to the spirit realm, and as a doorway to one kingdom or another— will be because he is erected with one master over them (the Door/Jesus, or the door/satan— as a master in which one is aligned with); and it will be the blood/life of that entity (spiritually speaking) that is applied to this construction in the spirit realm: either the blood of the Lamb (clean and pure, tied to the kingdom of God and Heaven), or it will be satan and his life, or rather existence of death— the dead man walking: this is the spiritual understanding of the post that holds the Door/door: that which is constructed inside the man’s heart: we either exalt 

God most high, holy, and true— or satan, death, lies, and self conceit (two different kingdoms, masters, and altars erected).  

As a man understands this is the porch that they have entered into— they will then understand that it will lead to the holy inner chambers with God holy— and a pure altar of worship unto God most high; or it will lead to the innermost chambers of defilement— and an altar unto satan, death, sin, and a covenant with.

Our God has made us uniquely— and he is attempting to help us understand what we are, and who we are in him; or— what and who we are when we are not in him, or unto him.

We are a peculiar people:  we are a priestly and kingly people of the Lord God holy and true; and we are walking out the testifying and witness of that in the earth; when we are people given to him from a sincere, authentic, sanctified and consecrated heart posture.

These priests of the Lord take the life of Jesus (the blood) and they cover their structure (within) by his life (written and spoken); and their house is then sanctified and consecrated.

Exodus 12:7

“And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses…”

Exodus 12:23

“For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts— the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.“

• The Destroyer only comes to a house to bring forth legalities of destruction— to take away a man’s inheritance in Christ Jesus.  It is important to uphold the ‘blood’ of Jesus— which means the LIFE of Jesus.  The Destroyer will attempt to steal, kill, and destroy— but the Lord shall restore that in which the Devourer has devoured— unto a reverent people, who exalt him.  

But the Destroyer is the headship of the impostor/inferior kingdom (the soulish and carnal), and the Lord comes with his life to overcome this king and kingdom; by each of us giving ourselves over to the Lord God: pillar, post, door/gate, and altar (heart posture and construction, new man).

The Lord is to be our master/lord, and in this— we are given to serving him within and without (in the secret place and the public).  We give ourselves unto him within, serve him and his conducting and posture (law and conduct under his headship), and we are then brought to the Door (we are portals that allow God holy to function through us; and he— Jesus — is the life/Door/Gateway of God, whereby we enter in, and sup with our Father once again).  A man will sanctify himself, consecrate himself, and erect an altar (his heart) unto God holy and true: and in this he will serve him day and night in the temple (vessel/heart/life).

Exodus 21:6

“Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him forever.”

• We are priests, and we are to be keepers of the door and Door (our hearts, unto the life and heart of God— in Christ Jesus): 2 Chronicles 34:9 

“.....the Levites that kept the doors….”

• We are the sheep— and through the Door/Gate (life of Jesus/YahShua), the body of Christ and his Spirit— we enter in to our Father’s kingdom and abode:  Jesus rises up with his brethren— and they sanctify the set up and sanctify the doors (lives).  We are a people who will go forth, WITHIN, and be given to the Lord, delivered, cleansed, purified, and made whole; who have been given to the Lord Jesus and have an altar (heart) unto him.  THEN— we will take this without the camp, into the world, and assist him in the great harvest; wherewith all we have undergone within— will be taken without — to the lost souls of the world (and even the professing church).

Nehemiah 3:1

“Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it…”

Nehemiah 3:6

“....they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof…..”

• We have a Kingdom we serve— as we are given to the Lord Jesus; and there are beams (a construction laid), with a foundation, with entrance, with lock and key, and with bars to keep out, and to keep in, and secure: and these are priests of the Lord.

Nehemiah 6:10

“Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said— Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay us; yea, in the night will they come to slay us.”

• The night is figurative in that it represents the hour of satan/darkness— where the devourer, murder, and thief comes to a ‘house/temple.’  But here we see the priestly meeting together in the house of God (inner man with the Lord, as well as unified together with others doing this: the priesthood).  And shutting the doors— this is securing the place; so that the gates/entities of hell shall not prevail in night/dark/evil.

Like Nehemiah— we war and build the walls unto the Lord, at the same time.

Nehemiah 7:1

“Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed….”

• Within the spiritual structure of a man— a kingdom resides.  Like a scaffolding, pillar erected, foundational building and structure— a kingdom abides.

And if the Lord calls us everlasting gates and doors (he being the principal one, chiefest, and the head— the lit up righteous path unto us all); then do we understand that when he says the gates of hell will not prevail against us— that he is talking about a kingdom from within, and entities that are also working gates and doorways?

When the stronghold of the Lord, the temple is secured from within— then the priests come forward and sing; as the gatekeepers keep watch at the door and Door (the person and Christ Jesus— where they meet and become one).

Proverbs 8:34

“Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.”

Ezekiel 40:9

“….the porch of the gate was inward….”

Ezekiel 40:38

“And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.”

Ezekiel 40:49

“....and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side….”

• Jesus and the Holy Spirit meet a man at the posts (structure within a man constructed to hold up/exalt the Door) of his Door; and a man who will exalt him within (keep his post) —will hear him and see him— as they listen and watch, daily, at God’s Gate/Door— which is Jesus Christ unto us.  And this Gate/Door— is inward, and the foundation of entrance (the Cornerstone laid— is within, and inward, as well: and you will begin to approach the altar and holy place— from the making of the way of the porch (the starting point from without— to now — within the inner chambers with God).  And we will be washed by the Word (Jesus), and we will be refined by fire as a burnt offering— ourselves; as we approach the altar (heart) of God, with our hearts (altar): and this is the beginning of understanding our entrance beyond the veil, now.  And this is where the people of God gather together— in one body: pillars on this side and that, who uphold the Door/life of Jesus.

When a man will not walk clean with and unto the Lord God and righteousness— then, indeed, at that time — the gates of hell do prevail against, or unto, this man: for he is in affiliation with hell, and does indeed require deliverance, through repentance (going the other way, truly), and to be healed— following humility.

Job 38:17

“Have the gates of death been opened unto you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?”

Ezekiel 43:8

“In their setting of their threshold —by my thresholds — and their post —by my posts, and the wall between me and them— they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed….”

• Threshold— that in which frames the Door/door/Gate/gate (person exalted and established).  The Lord is saying— something else is erected where my threshold, post, and Door ought to be: and thus— the temple is compromised (weakened), infiltrated, and defiled.

Isaiah 57:8

“Behind the doors also and the posts —you have set up your remembrance: for you have discovered (uncovered) yourself to another— other than me, and art gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made yourself a covenant with them; you loved their bed —where you saw it.”

• We must turn around from our whoredoms, and return to our Lord God in truth and sincerity; and we must cleanse the bed and chambers unto the Lord (our hearts and affiliations); because the house of God has, in times past (and indeed there is nothing new under the sun) —been given to whoredoms, and another — within.

Psalm 24:7

“Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; and (then) the King of glory shall come in.”

Ezekiel 45:19

“And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.”

• We have a work to do within us; works of love and honor unto our Lord, God, and Savior: and that is to deal with our deceitful and wicked hearts, through being given to the Spirit of the living God— who shall bring us into all truth (lived and exalted within): that takes place when the sin is covered in the life of Jesus— expelled and expunged— as the entirety of the heart (altar) is given to Him and his Righteousness: the inner court.

And in this— the Prince shall enter in, by way of this porch (which is just inside the Door/gate), and shall stand by this threshold (like a bride to her groom, carried over the threshold or Door, entrance into the holy place with God, in the Kingdom of God and Heaven— the elevation or ascension); and the priest (those given to righteousness and God, who seek the Kingdom of God [his rule and exaltation of] AND his righteous foundation of life) —offer themselves as living sacrifices upon his altar (and do become burning ones for him, and with the life of Jesus Christ within them); and do make peace with God— as they are given as an offering of peace, as their hearts convert and worship the Prince of Peace— at the threshold of the Door/Gate.

Ezekiel 46:2 & 3

“And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth.  Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the Lord….”

Amos 9:1

“I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them…”

• The Lord will come against anything that is not him, nor his righteous kingdom exalted within a man; when a man has given himself in covenant to the Lord God: his covenant is highly prioritized in the lives of his people by him; and thus— ought to be, and indeed must be— by his people unto him.  Where the life of a man within, and the life of Jesus within (door and Door) are not at-one in the atonement; our Lord will come to shake, and cut the enemy presence in the head(ship), as we humble ourselves to him within— and take up with him, exalt him — and he comes forward and crushes satan under our feet/foundation (him erected as the Cornerstone within).

The Lord himself is a pillar of cloud by day, and pillar of fire— by night (Genesis 19:26).  And in this— we understand that he is a life who is given to be a living memorial (this will be explained as a memorial stone was erected): Jesus Christ, the Living Headstone to us all; and as we are living stones that make up the house of God with him, beside him, and under him in leadership.  

Exodus 13:21

“And the Lord went before them (even as he is the first born of many to follow him) by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night.”

• Because of his life within us shining— we shall be lamps on a hill that shall not be hidden, as well.  Who will go by day and shine unto the world and lost, as well as by the darkest of hours— prevail over the gross darkness— in the brilliance and glory of the shine of the Lord’s splendor, as we exalt him within.

Genesis 28:18-19

“And Jacob (called Israel) rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar (a memorial in Strong’s), and poured oil upon the top of it.  And he called the name of that place Bethel (which is to say house of God)…”

• When the temple/vessel/heart is given to God to be his house— we then have the oil of the anointing of this intimacy within and upon our lives; as we have exalted the Cornerstone/headstone/Pillar in our lives: for Israel (original branch, and those grafted in) —LIVES in Christ Jesus.

Genesis 28:22

“And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house…”

Genesis 35:14

“And Jacob (Israel) set up a pillar (a living memorial) in the place where he talked with him….”

Genesis 31:13

“I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar, and where you vowed a vow unto me…”

• We are a living memorial unto our God, set as the house of God, talking with our Lord God, and anointed because we have vowed unto our God: that in this house— I shall serve the Lord God most High.  A man must discern (in truth) who he is serving within, in the spiritual construction site of our inner man.  If unto God— then the gates of the Kingdom of God reside within this man, and he is a pillar in his house: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against this man.

Matthew 16:18

“And I say also unto you— That you are Peter (whose name means Rock), and upon this rock I will build my church (the life of Jesus, and those who exalt his life and truth within them: the church); and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (the enemies of God —evil, darkness, corruption, sin).”

• As in the time of Samson— where his vessel was given to pride and carelessness, promiscuity (spiritually speaking, first), and he fell, and great was his fall.  He asked of God, after he was being conquered by the Philistines (satan, and his power, spiritually) —that God would again guide him, one last time, to grasp onto the pillars that held the house (lives given to God, brethren, the body, the building house of the Lord Jesus Christ, spiritually speaking); and with their help (the help of the pillars, those established with the Lord God, the congregation of the heavenly support) —Samson, one last time, exalted the Lord God, the brethren, and prevailed against the enemy: the Philistines, Dagon working within them, and the gates of hell.

Judges 16:20

“And she said— The Philistines be upon you, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself.  And he knew (recognized) not —that the Lord was departed from him.”

Judges 16:23

“Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said— Our god has delivered Samson, our enemy, into our hand.”

Judges 16:26

“...let me (Lord, again) feel the pillars whereupon the house stands, that I may lean upon them.” 

• Repentance goes a long way with God; but sometimes— it is a last opportunity, as well— to serve the living God: when one ought to have known better, and been given to God in reverence— more strongly (humbly).  

• If we are still alive— we still have time.

Revelation 3:12

“Him who overcomes —I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out (established): and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God— which is new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven (from the elevation, the place of God, where he dwells, the place of the ascension) from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”

1 Samuel 2:8

“He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill— to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth —are the Lord's — and he has set the world upon them.”

• Those who exalt the Lord, his truth, righteousness— and love itself; are pillars in his house, a building of the Lord has been established, the construction of the Lord— and not of man’s (or the created’s hands), but of God.  And it is established— when one will be given to him, and work out their salvation with fear and trembling within (humility, truth, and reverence): and he will explain what needs to take place, in the scripture below, in Deuteronomy 12.

Deuteronomy 12:3

“Ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place (your life/heart/inner man).”

2 Kings 23:3

“And the king (Josiah, whose name means— founded of Jah) stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord— to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes — with all their heart and all their soul; and to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.”

• It is when a man will exalt the Kingdom of God within (the governing of God within— this is the kingdom of God most high, where he is exalted), that will bring a man into life, and life abundantly in Christ Jesus; and hence— into the Kingdom of heaven (or God’s abode):  one is his rule and reign (kingdom of God), and the other— his heavenly abode (kingdom of Heaven): both of which— his people ought to desire to exalt within them, and desire to be affiliated within their inner chambers and spiritual construction, by.

Open the doors of the house of the Lord— with fear and trembling, exaltation and love (which is obedience), and remain there— do not come out of this temple, house, tent, tabernacling with God.

1 Samuel 3:15

“And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord.”

1 Kings 6:30-32

“And the floors (foundation) of the house (of God) he overlaid with gold (this is a refined individual, who is likened unto God’s image again— the life of Jesus Christ laid), within and without.  And for the entrance of the oracle (innermost holy place) he made doors of the olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.  The two doors also were of the olive tree (the wild and the cultivated, grafted in); and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.”

• There are inner doors unto God holy, sanctified and consecrated (inner man access to the spirit realm); and there are doors within a man that can be given to the gates of hell— should a man affiliate and align his eternal door (person) with hell: we have porters and gatekeepers (threshold entities/guardians) who guard these doors and gates— from whichever kingdom is aligned within a man.

Let us remark, here, about the need for a true repentance (a complete turn around to the new man creation in Christ Jesus)— and not easy believism, where we claim with lips— but not a turned around heart.  The heart is to believe— until (unto) —righteousness is formed within a man, as Jesus Christ comes forward and reforms him: without a change— a man’s faith is dead, the Lord said so.  For a faith is a reliance upon a person, for a certain thing; in this case— it is reliance upon Christ to form his righteousness in us— until, or unto, its completion and fulness within a man: and hence— then the gates of hell shall not prevail against this man; for his kingdom is that of God!

Romans 10:3, 9-10

“For they— being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness — have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.  That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead (and thus— we can be, and are to be as well), you shall be saved (recovered, redeemed, restored, healed, and made whole— this signifies a change around).  For with the heart man believes —unto righteousness; and with the mouth —confession is made unto salvation.”

• Righteousness is to come forward in a man (thus— no wrinkle or spot to remain of darkness, which is a conduct and a kingdom of law lived by— iniquity, the conduct of sin, and continued in sin— which is lawlessness against God as King, and his conduct/kingdom law); and righteousness, in a fullness, is to come forward in a man: when the life of Jesus Christ is present and exalted within, in his truth and ways.  When a heart is truly repentant (changing around and being given to Jesus and his ways) —this heart will believe unto, or until, righteousness be formed in him.

Galatians 4:19

“My little children, of whom I travail in birth, again— until Christ be formed in you…”

• We have a work, or a job to do, in our requited love relationship (in sincerity) unto our Lord, Savior, and God of us: Jesus Christ.  That job or work— is to exalt the ‘way,’ the ‘truth,’ and the ‘life’ of Jesus Christ: no hypocrisy or lip service only: a true walk/union with him.  And if we will not— then we are like the Pharisaical hypocrites— who with much speech do speak, but with hearts— are far from harmonious, and reverent union with the God most High.

Psalm 12:2

“They speak vanity —every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.”

Isaiah 29:13

“Wherefore the Lord said— Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me— they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.”

James 2:20

“Do (will) you know— O vain man — that faith without works is dead?”

• Salvation’s works were accomplished by Jesus— no man could do what he did, flawlessly, making the way back to our Father possible.  But our faith— is ours to walk out: and it requires marriage duties to be carried out: fidelity to the way, the truth, and the life of Jesus Christ.  For if not— our faith is dead (or vain and empty), and no man shall walk out a dead faith— and enter into eternal life: for one cannot uphold death— and expect life, and life abundant in Christ Jesus, where he is not exalted and made most High God within a man.

James 2:18

“Yea, a man may say— You have faith (reliance upon Jesus Christ and the truth, with fidelity to him/it), and I have works (actions): show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith —by my works (actions).”

James 2:26

“For as the body —without the spirit — is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

• The body (church) is dead in its trespasses if it walks not in union with the Holy Spirit— and without sincere actions unto/toward Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.

Romans 8:3-5

“For what the (letter of the) law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For they that are after the flesh — do— mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit —the things of the Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

• So, if any man truly be inside the life of Jesus Christ and the truth— he be, and will continue to be— a new man, a new creation— formed by the hand of the Spirit of God, in Christ Jesus: and the old man ways, conduct, disposition and demeanor— will be gone, crucified, killed; and a new man will emerge, with a living faith, and form that does not deny the power of God to save (reform and restore) a man.

A new man— can hold a new kingdom (ethics, procedure, spiritual law/conduct), and a new King— who leads them in this new life; for us— in Christ Jesus; where his Door/Gate prevails against satan, and the man/vessel is therefore: he who overcomes with Christ Jesus against the gates of hell, satan, and his kingdom.

Mark 2:22

“And no man puts new wine into old bottles: else the new wine will burst the bottles, and the wine be spilled, and the bottles be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.”

• New wine— is the new love relationship, headship, covenantal marriage relationship upheld within a man; for he has become a new creature entirely— in the presence and person of Jesus Christ having his way within this man.  No more a marred vessel of malformation— but a new vessel and new substance within that man: a new skin (life in a dirt suit and soul) and a new wine (substance of the union relationship with the Almighty holy and true God— within this man).

Ephesians 4:24

“Put on the new man— which after God — is created in righteousness and true holiness.”

Colossians 3:10

“And have put on the new man— which is renewed in knowledge — after the image of him that created him.”

Isaiah 26:20

“Come, my people— enter into your chambers, and shut your doors about you.”

• Come and lock away with God, lock up all ways in which the devil could come in and defile the house of God, and the bed chambers.  The Lord God, when exalted within, and the truth— will send his angel, the angel of the Lord and his Holy Spirit— and open the prison doors, release the prisoner, and bring the children of God into liberty in Jesus Christ.

Acts 5:19

“....the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth…”

Acts 16:26

“And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.”

Deuteronomy 6:4-19

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.  And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart: and you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house (how we are living with him, within), and when you walk by the way (how our walk of actions in this life is conducted, following after Jesus), and when you lie down, and when you rise up (day and night serve him in his temple, and never go out).

You shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.  And thou shalt write them upon —the posts (construction) of your house, and on your gates (entrance into the holy union with God, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior).

And it shall be, when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you builded not (indeed— by the hand of God is our promised land, and goodly dwelling brought forward), and houses (temples/vessels) full of all good things — which you did not fill (indeed, Jesus Christ by his hand), and wells digged (living waters established), which you digged not (indeed, a construction in the spiritual that God himself brings forth), and vineyards and olive trees— which you did not plant (exactly— a planting of the Lord); when you shall have eaten and now be full (fulfilled in Jesus Christ, walking the right way, exalting his life and truth); then beware lest you forget the Lord, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt (out of all the bondage of satan, his kingdom, and slavery to death and sin), out from the house of bondage.

You shall fear the Lord your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name (in our temples/hearts/lives/vessels).  You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you (no falling into the ways of the culture around us of the worldly people); (For the Lord your God is a jealous God among you) —lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.  You shall not tempt the Lord your God— as you tempted him in Massah (the place of the desert— the place of testing).

You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded of you.  And you shall do that which is right, and good, in the sight of the Lord: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.  

• To cast out all your enemies from before you— as the Lord has spoken.”

• We have a job to do with our marriage to God in covenant— kick out all other lovers, and all other gods, and all other ways that are not his:  and this is deliverance, restoration, healing, and covenant upheld with God holy and true.

Revelation 2:17

“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him that overcomes (satan with Jesus) I will give to eat of the hidden manna (the Word of God himself, the gift, the life of Jesus), and will give him a white stone (a chip off the ole block— Jesus— the white Cornerstone, himself), and in the stone a new name written (that of Jesus Christ as we are his— for a name is a conduct and character that defines a man), which no man knows —save he that receives it.”

Revelation 14:3

“And they sang, as it were— a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song —except the hundred and forty and four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth (a soul in a body— out of worldliness).”

Isaiah 6:4

“And the posts of the door (the construction of the inner man where the Door is held/exalted) moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.”

Proverbs 8:34

“Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.”

Song of Solomon 3:5-6

“For I charge you, O you daughters of Jerusalem— by the roes, and by the hinds of the field — that you stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.  Who is this who comes out of the wilderness —like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?”

• It is Jesus Christ, and his bride given to him— who adorns him, as he makes up his jewels; and as a man who spares his own son— who serves him (Malachi 3:17-18), who now knows the difference between righteousness and wickedness.

Doors, gates, pillar, post and altars: this is a touch of the spiritual understanding of them, as the Lord has revealed to me; and defines his burning ones who have been delivered, and will come forth— to deliver nations with him: in the leaves that heal the nations (Revelation 22:2, people) of the world: all who will come, as the bride and the bridegroom (through the Spirit), say— COME (Revelation 22:17).
