EMERGING FROM THE SHADOWS

The first nine verses in chapter 7 of Isaiah have been somewhat hard for me to understand, almost as if it was an encoded message of some sort. Reading back through it recently, I began to wonder if that was not exactly the case, something concealed - hidden in the Word by our God for the end day kings to search out (Proverbs 25:2). I set about to "search out the matter", and see if there was not something deeper there we should be seeing in these end times.

In a recent study we looked at Gog and Magog and all of their counterparts, and discerned that in the deeper spiritual application yet to be applied, the Bible may be referring to CHARACTERISTICS reflected by the MEANINGS of these proper names rather than to actual places. Thus it is that God is able to hide so much in the Word. Proper names can actually be encoded messages to be broken down and reapplied to the spiritual application at hand. Likewise, some of the secondary meanings of the actual Hebrew words used in the passages can apply as well. I have heavily utilized The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names, Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, Lexicon notes from Spiros Zodhiates Word Study Dictionary and Brown-Driver-Briggs and good ol' Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary. By combining and compiling the information received from all of these sources, a fascinating picture began to emerge which is exclusive to the days in which we live. Now I realize that in this "searching out process", I have taken great liberty - liberty to paraphrase and rewrite the text to satisfy the secondary layering of this passage. However, please do not say I am changing (as in adding to or taking from) the words in God's Book. I am not trying to substitute what I have found for what is in the text, but merely to show how an alternative hidden message may be present AS WELL as what we read in the superficial text.

Additionally I would like to comment on the use of the names of our presidents (past and present) as they will appear in any of our studies. It is not my intent to defame any leader of our country nor to show them any disrespect. Whether or not I feel that what they have done or are doing is right, God's Word is clear that they were put into the Presidential office BY GOD in order that prophecy would unfold as He planned. We discussed how God's anointing of King Saul still rested upon him after he fell into disfavor, and David would not touch him because of that anointing. I believe that this is a lesson to us today, that we should not slander the rulers of our nations, nor speak of them in disrespect. We do, however, need to have the discernment to see when they (like King Saul) walk in the ways of evil, and pose a threat to us. How we deal with that threat is between us and God, but we had better watch our step, even then, as they DO have a type of anointing which IS God given. My remarks in the past have sometimes been somewhat caustic toward the leadership of not only our country, but others as well. In the days ahead, I hope to mend my ways. I intend henceforth to be very careful in my handling of the words which relate to our world leaders. So I will proceed on tippy toes, and I will merely insert the name of the key players where they seem to fit, and will let your discernment take it from there. With all of this in mind, I will proceed to share what I have found.

First, I would like to read the superficial text of Isaiah 7:1-9:

We will begin with the proper names, and then move to the terms of some of the wording in the passage, and I will show you what I found. Then I will make the appropriate substitutions of proper names and terms within the text, and we will reread it to get the secondary and hidden meaning.

In the days of the Holy Spirit, begotten of Yeshua, begotten of HaShem, Lucifer and George W. Bush who is the son of George Bush Sr. went up to The United Nations to oppose it, but could not prevail against it. It was also made known to God and the Church, that Lucifer's Kingdom is united in league with Apostate Christendom. And the heart of God was moved, and the heart of the faithful remnant of His people, even as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind. Then the Lord said to His holy angels, Go forth now to meet the Holy Spirit, and the First Fruits of the Body of Christ at the end of the healing waters of God's place of collection for the body of Christ at the raised highway which ascends upward to the territory at the border of the people and the Kingdom of God which belongs to the one who cleanses the clothing to pure white.

(Remember now that when Esther reached the king's ear, she asked for mercy for her people whom she had left behind,and the king comforted her. This may be a major part of the role of the First Fruits in the heavenlies. We are now coming to the TWO tails (hostile acts of war) of these smoking firebrands (broken sticks which will stir) fierce anger. This hard to understand passage is now making sense! I would propose that these two smoking firebrands (sticks) which stir anger are the twin towers.)

And say unto the First Fruits of the Body of Christ, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two hostile attacks of war of the smoking broken towers which were used to stir the fiery heated anger of the Spirit of Anti Christ and the Kingdom of Lucifer and George W. Bush. Lucifer's Kingdom, apostate Christendom, and George W. Bush have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, Let us go against Holy Christendom, and make them fear us, and divide them, and set a king in the midst of them, even the son of Lucifer, the Anti Christ. Thus saith the Lord God, It shall not be solidified, neither shall it continue. For the head of Lucifer's Kingdom is the Anti Christ's Kingdom, and the head of the Anti Christ's Kingdom is the Spirit of Anti Christ; and within sixty-five years shall apostate Christendom be broken into pieces, and no longer counted as servants of the Master. And the head of apostate Christendom is the United States, and the head of the United States is George W. Bush. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be counted as a trusted guardian.

When I realized that the two tails of these smoking firebrands (or sticks) (which I had never before been able to understand) were the separate attacks on the twin towers, which became broken smoking sticks to stir the wrath of President Bush and company, it seemed to seal the confirmation that what I was seeing was indeed for the here and now.

Now in order for this to fit appropriately into the scope of the spiritual HOUSE of Israel (the USA), there has to be a father who is president here, and adorned and exalted for some feat (just as was our first President Bush for the his victory in the first Gulf War), then his son has to become president and follow in his footsteps. How many times has THAT happened?

The next question was the timeline for the sixty-five years found in verse 8. The implication seems to be that Ephraim is judged here, which would be at the Bema throne, immediately following the Ingathering Rapture. So it would be saying that the second or Ingathering Rapture which occurs far into the Tribulation period would occur WITHIN or before the conclusion of 65 years of some event. But what was this event? I backtracked to verse 1 of chapter 6 to find it. This is where the sequence of events for this passage seems to begin. It states:

You see, in this verse, The Lord is sitting upon his throne in the temple, awaiting the judgment which will occur within 65 earth years from the death alluded to in this verse. The command is given in verses 8-10 for some of God's people to be deceived as a judgment for their sin. Thus the apostasy begins to take shape. Then judgment on the land will follow. In this same time frame, however, verse 12 says that the Lord had REMOVED MEN FAR AWAY. It looks as though chapter seven then overlays chapter six, and shows what is happening in the world scene even as the spiritual slumber is occurring. Then sixty-five years after Uzziah's death is the judgment of Ephraim.

We had deemed Uzziah to be HaShem in our work above, but in the instance of his death, we must look in a different direction, as it is obvious that HaShem will not die! Who would be an earthly leader in our times that would equate to King Uzziah in Biblical times? A little homework led me to a good prospect. Reading about King Uzziah told me that, as well as meaning The Lord my strength, 1) his name can mean simply "strength"; "he is STRONG". 2) He reigned during a time of prosperity. 3) He was a "lover of the soil" who promoted AGRICULTURE. 4) He was also quick to address MILITARY concerns, and never neglected the building of his armed forces. 5) He was an upright king and 6) he was favored by God UNTIL he tried to combine the office of the sacred with the office of the political. He entered the tabernacle and tried to burn incense on the alter. He was warned by the priest that he was dishonoring God by doing this, but instead of humbly respecting God's ways, he continued to usurp God's mandates and expressed outrage toward the priests for their judgment call. 7) For this cause, he was afflicted with leprosy, which would claim his life. The most notable aspect of his reign however, was that his 52 year reign was almost the longest of all the kings. Only Manasseh ruled longer.

Now when we transition to our present age, we must find a candidate which fits this criteria. It seems that one president of the United States stands alone in his representation of this criteria. Let's look at Franklin Delano Roosevelt. At 39 years of age, he was stricken with polio. However, rather than allowing his polio to be a trait of weakness, he reversed the tables. This man demonstrated "indomitable courage", and through swimming and other such forms of exercise, managed to strengthen his legs so as to overcome his handicap and be able to walk with the use of crutches. 1) Overcoming weakness, he became STRONG, not only in strength of body but also of character. 2) He brought a measure of prosperity to the country. 3) This was initiated during his first one hundred days in office, when he presented a program for the recovery of business and AGRICULTURE, which was enacted by Congress, and prevented many farmers from losing their homes and livelihood, and protected our food supply. 4) On the other hand, he gave high priority to the MILITARY and national defense. 5) Showing compassion, he even assisted in the strengthening of other nations who were threatened or attacked. 6) However, the attack on Pearl Harbor was to change the scope of his rule. He felt that international peace was a priority which could no longer take a back seat, and he did much to INITIATE THE PLANS FOR THE BODY WHICH WOULD COMBINE THE OFFICES OF SPIRITUAL AND POLITICAL ENTITIES WHICH WE KNOW AS THE UNITED NATIONS. Even as Uzziah's was stricken when he tried to combine the two, so also did this process precede the death of this president. He died on April 12, 1945 in Warm Springs, Georgia. It is commonly believed that the cause of death was a cerebral hemorrhage, however some sources would tell us that the medical records have suspiciously vanished. He was in his fourth term of office when he died in his 13th year of rule.

If Roosevelt fulfills the role of Uzziah, who then would be Manasseh? Manasseh was the most evil king in history, and Graham Hancock confirms that Manasseh defiled the Temple by putting a graven image within the Holy of Holies. This will occur again when the Image of the Beast is put within the Holy of Holies, the abomination of desolation (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, Mark 13:14, and Luke 16:15). The Anti Christ himself will sit in the Temple, claiming to be Christ per II Thessalonians 2:4.

The Anti Christ would be our most evil king, the current day Manasseh. It is almost certain that the Anti Christ would rule the United Nations at this crucial juncture, and it is amusing to me that there is talk of Bill Clinton taking the leadership role of this organization to replace Kofi Annon. There is actually a growing demand for change in leadership right now in March 2005, so the leadership MIGHT WELL change before the end of term in 2006. Very soon after the transition, the "powers that be" in various capacities will probably see to it that the United States is embroiled in crisis and under Marshall Law. Thus the UN will become head over the United States in a manner which has not been known to us. Led by our former beloved president, it will be an easier transition for this country, and we will fall right into the grip of the New World Order. Thus in his new role, Bill Clinton could continue his reign over this country beginning with year number 9. In a mere five full years, his rule over this country would exceed that of President Roosevelt - a true Manasseh. Graham Hancock verifies what we have been saying that the Ark will be totally removed from the land prior to the abominations which will occur during the time when the spirit of Anti Christ will actually embody this ruler.

Now if President Roosevelt was our current day Uzziah, his death occurred on April 12, 1945. Let's develop our timeline just a bit further. Per previous segments, the Ingathering Harvest Rapture is the second of the two Wheat Harvest Raptures and will transport the balance of the Believers to the Bema Judgment Throne to stand before the Son. This is when it will be said that Apostate Christianity is no longer called "servants of The Master" and they will be broken apart. So, if this happens no later than April 12, 2010, it would fit very well with our Isaiah timeline for the Ingathering Rapture Harvest which culminates at the Bema Judgment seat of Yeshua.

I have to wonder if George Bush's attack on Iraq is not a precursor to the rider of the white horse who carries a bow. No, this doesn't mean that George W. Bush is the Anti Christ. However, the white horse usually represents the good guy, and that is what he is perceived as being. He has conquered, but not to claim as his own. It was to liberate, in the style of President Roosevelt before him, - coming to the aid of others whom he felt were being suppressed. Incidentally, it was the year following President Roosevelt's death that both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were born.

Remember the slogan of the first stages of the attack on Baghdad? How could anyone forget the Shock and Awe campaign. An astute Bible student was talking with me recently, and she said that something about that phrase had never set right with her. The sound of it bothered her somehow. Then she heard that the correct Hebrew translation for what Christendom often calls Sha-ki'-na is actually She'-ki-na. Now say it a little slower - She'-ki-na, and it sounds alarmingly like Shock 'n' Awe. In an article called Shock 'n Awe (Shak-in-ah): We Will Rock You on William Henry's web site, we see confirmation of this speculation. He formulates the synopsis that the Shekinah is well known to the occult world. They understand that it was the Shekinah that appeared over the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant, and that the Shekinah has been missing since the Ark disappeared. He believes that it was indeed the observance of this name that was shouted to the world in the Shock 'n' Awe campaign. Could it have been a flagrant declaration of Lordship.

Given that events continue to unfold at this rapid pace, and after evaluation of our time line from this study, the date of the departure of the First Fruits Bride looks ominously close. Psalm 80:1-7 says:

I believe that we were fed this bread of tears at 9/11, and our enemies laughed among themselves at our grief. We have made strife unto our neighbors, and it is now time for God to shine forth his face and come to save us. However, of the three children mentioned, only Benjamin will be ready when he comes. There will soon be tears to drink in GREAT MEASURE before he comes again to save the balance of this our people. Revelation 3:10 seems to indicate that the Philadelphian Benjamin will miss out on the GREAT MEASURE mentioned here!

Maybe it is due time for the First Fruits Melchisedekian Bride to be taken home! Jeremiah 3:14-16 says:

Once our bodies are changed to light bodies, it is probable that the function of the Ark of the Covenant will no longer be necessary.

Excerpts of Hebrews 6:10-20 read:

Is the Bride ready? Does she realize the condition of her soul? What is the condition of the Fruit of the Spirit she evidences? Are there any stains with which she needs to contend? If so, she needs to be about the business of repentance and checking her standing very carefully now, as the time of her intended departure may be at hand. As her fruit is ripened to perfection, her light will be perfect. If we want a gauge to go by, we can go to James 3:2-6. In this passage we find: "the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity ... it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell". Our gauge to check our perception is that little piece of flesh that incessantly flaps at the wrong time, saying the wrong things. When it hurts and offends our brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to check it! Verse 2 says:

Conversely, if we DO OFFEND the brethren, the implication is strong that we are not seen as perfect, and we should take heed immediately!!! No one who is pursuing the "prize of the high calling" will want to be disqualified at the end of the race because of a technicality which should have been addressed but wasn't. Maybe it's time to be VERY VERY SURE that our lives are in order with the one who judges the fruit!
