Return of Christ, Rescuing our own from the Apostasy

When did Jesus become our High Priest?

I spend time in prayer, study and I journal daily. I recommend writing in a journal, your thoughts, His thoughts, as they come to you and as they come from others. Yes, I am open to the wisdom of others. I measure it by the Word and go from there.

When a question comes to my mind I do not assume it was my idea. Often Yahweh is teaching me by asking me questions, as most Rabbi’s do. When I do not know the answer I seek it. Is there significance I need to know.

So I will speak to you from my journal.

When did Christ become our High Priest? Was it upon his death? His Ascension? His resurrection? His Baptism?

In Hebrews 2:14-18 it says, 14 “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.”

When did Jesus actually become a High Priest? From this point forward let us see Him on the Cross.

Christ in His life of purity could have offered blood to cover the sins and He did. It was His blood. The veil was torn. This phenomenon on the day of His crucifixion might actually be seen as a confirmation of His High Priesthood, while He interceded for us, as a high priest would, as He did. “Forgive them Father they know not what they do.” His blood was already dripping on the ground beneath Him.

So what did a High Priest need? Personal purity, blood, authority to intercede, and access to the most Holy place.

The blood was provided from a sacrificial lamb, (Him) and intercession by Him, by this pure sinless High Priest, accord to the Law, was made on behalf of those who would be seeking, believing, following, Yahweh, now by the grace of God our blessed Savior, heavenly Father Yahweh, and Holy Spirit.

A high priest was tempted in all things but had to make an offering for his sins first and then the sins of the people. The Highest of High Priests lived a truly sinless life, tempted yet without sin! He made no offering for Himself, only for us.

Jesus did what He did, so we could do what He said. It was not so He could serve now but so He could serve “then.” Not here, but there! Yet His duty began way before His departure, in life. At the Cross is where all that effort was summed up. His installation at the right hand of the Father, as our intercessor, our High Priest was now assured.

His preparation to be High Priest began in life, tempted in all things. He achieved His right to offer blood for our sake by His sinless life. In life He would have been able to enter the Holy of Holies fearlessly. As it was, He was suspended on a Cross, so the veil was torn from top to bottom first, I believe, on His behalf, then as well for our sake after. Our personal intimate access to the Father was achieved by Jesus, our High Priest and soon coming King! Note our access was into a place where a lack of holiness could be deadly. Now our holiness, our access, is by the grace provided abundantly (Romans 5:17 and 21) as long as I walk in grace toward others.

For now Jesus continues His High Priestly duties in heaven, interceding. He will hold both offices, Priest and King, upon His return during His millennial reign and then forever.

Exit Strategy End Times: “One Pandemic, the two Eagles, one purpose.” Part 1

blowing shofar3“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!”

“One Pandemic, the two Eagles, One World, one purpose.”

Desperate people do desperate things! In a lost and dying world, why would we expect anything less?

Those who point to Christians as “those end of the world people” do so based on their efforts to keep the world from continuing as it was. They use climate, pollution, population control. They believe these things, if controlled, will extend earth life. At the heart of these and other agenda items is “control.” To influence their strategies, hiding as concerns, requires convincing the public and Christians if possible and for as many as possible to join their cause.They have failed or succeeded?

Control is the most proven way, in their minds, to accomplish their more serious plans.

There is evidence of the “progress” that the “Progressives” are making. It was spoken of centuries ago in the law and the prophets. As foretold, It has reached “Global” proportions.

If there was ever a place in the bible where America is described perfectly it is in the prophecy of the two eagles in the scripture below. We see the “promised land” view of America at her onset as well as a distressing and ominous current / future view of our land. Conditions now exist and are increasing that clearly display the latter scriptural and prophetic view expressed in the vision of the two eagles.

Ezekiel 17:3-7 (NASB) Prophesy
3  saying, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “A great eagle with great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.
4  He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.
5  He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a willow.
6  Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and yielded shoots and sent out branches.
7  “But there was another great eagle with great wings and much plumage; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and sent out its branches toward him from the beds where it was planted, that he might water it.”

Is this America? Do these two eagles sound like and look like America as she once was, and worse, as she is now?

Is there hope for the original biblically rooted vine? Many Americans, especially  Christians, still look to America’s foundational (biblical) roots for “water.” We see now and have seen God blessing us, providing for us, blessing our efforts to earn and raise our families the right way, His Way. His word promises a righteous reward.

Do we see the symbols in this prophecy? Our national bird is the Eagle. The sprigs, the seeds from the tree in Lebanon as our Judeo / Christian roots. We are the land of traders by many waters, the oceans, the Great Lakes. God, via our roots, by His Ways, supplies our needs not the eagle not the government.

God is love, (1JN: 4:8) We are to be rooted and grounded in love!  These are the roots we have thrived upon!

Ephesians 3:17 (NASB)
17  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, …

The revealing of this prophesy at this time has purpose. It’s potential must be to warn us.  I have never heard the two Eagles preached before. Understanding has come for such a time as this.

Has enough of America, the vine, turned it’s roots up toward another god, the government, a god that wants to become their sole as well as soul, provider, dooming us as a nation? Doom? Read the scripture.

Ezekiel 17:9-10 (NASB)
9  Say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Will it thrive? Will he (the second eagle) not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it withers—so that all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again.
10  Behold, though it is planted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it—wither on the beds where it grew?”‘”

Has any nation turned away from God and survived? According to scripture that second “eagle” will pull up our biblical roots and cause us  to whither and die! This speaks of the death of a nation!

Is it too late for us as a nation or has the time simply come as God’s word said it would?

Is America “dying on the vine” as the phrase goes? As a nation, we certainly can die. As a people, now that is a different thing altogether, because there are two peoples and race has nothing to do with who is who.

Has God’s sorting begun? Is the biblical apostasy as foretold already happening? Ask yourself, is America as a whole moving toward God or away? Why then would God put, and I believe He did, a man in the White House with beliefs more in line with the bible than the previous few president’s, beliefs totally the opposite of the most recent Muslim, Barack Obama.

Amos 3:7 (NASB)
“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.”

God speaks first to His prophets as we see in Ezekiel’s word about the two eagles. The prophets also spoke of Jesus long before His arrival. Most, including pastors, are unaware that the prophets spoke of not just one ascension by Jesus, as in the Book of Acts 1 but of an ascension earlier, by Jesus, just after exiting the tomb, revealed in  Zechariah 3:1-10. If you care, read it! I have never heard this preached before but the Holy Spirit revealed it to me. The sages do believe the dirty clothes Jesus put on, upon exiting the tomb, were the gardeners clothes belonging to Joseph of Arimathea from working in his garden near the tomb he had prepared for himself. The Holy Spirit revealed to me that they were  the same filthy garments worn by Joshua (Jesus) in Zech 3:1-10.

Jesus studied the Torah and in these particular verses saw His own name being spoken. “Joshua” The chapter speaks further of Him. “The Branch.”  Look it up. It is profound understanding. Jesus is asked if He will do God’s bidding… Jesus leaves that scene in heaven and appears supernaturally on the road to Emmaus and by the same means walking through the door where the disciples were hiding…  latter on He ascends again in Acts chapter 1. THAT second ascension is described in  Daniel 7:13 (NASB)
13  “I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.”

THIS time Jesus was given dominion, glory and a kingdom. 

Daniel 7:14 (NASB)
14  “And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.”

I have taken this “Rabbi Trail” in an effort to convince you, to reach you, with insight that God revealing to us. Why? So you will listen to more.There is more…

See part two: Same title.

If we are in His grip, how far from His heart can we be?
