Living
Epistles Unveil New Jerusalem
by Doug Wentz
We
are living epistles who have destiny sealed into us! Each new stage in life
unseals another aspect of Christ's nature. Often before we fight fallen
deities, we overcome ourselves. Psalm
35:1 says "...fight
against those who fight against me." We fight against
traits, the book of Proverbs calls them the seven deadly sins. The old nature
is also the opposite of the ten commandments. The old nature is against the
nature of the Holy Spirit, and he has seven heads (perfectly governed by
anti-Spirit nature), and ten crowns, the opposite nature of the ten
commandments.
The
soul is being made new because the soul, which is the world (lust of the flesh,
eyes, and pride of life) worships, or cherishes and values, itself. As this
beast manifests, it is overcome, and the Bride of Christ comes to the surface
of each person to reveal love, and fulfill the assignments in earth. Apostle
Timothy Early describes the Bride shifting from "intangible to
tangible" traits of Christ, the descent of the invisible heavenly realm,
into the visible earth realm to heal the nations. The trumpet of insight blows,
the power of the anointing takes action, and the Bride is unveiled. Rev. 6
describes the seals opened, Rev. 8-9 are the trumpets, Rev. 16 pours out the
vials of anointing to destroy the old order of things, and Rev. 21 is the Bride
revealed. Before we move on, let us look at the sea and earth symbolism of the
Adamic nature, or subconscious and conscious fallen nature.
In
Rev. 13, the beast arising from the earth causes worship (value and worth
attributed to) to the beast that arises from the sea. This is because what is
consciously going on (from earthen nature) stems from what has been called
'reality' at crucial moments throughout life, thrust into the subconscious mind
(the sea). Moments of fear, pain, and ecstasy are the times when whatever is
seen, called on, or believed are thrust deep into subconscious to manifest
later in life as one's reality or worldview, whether truth or lie.
These
two beasts of Rev. 13 must be seen before the Lamb that was slain becomes the
Lamb 'standing' in Rev. 14, with 144,000 with Him. The 144,000 symbolizes God's
government (= 12) in heaven now in earth, as the symbolic 12,000 of each of the
12 tribes have their Father's name written on them.
The
Revelation of Jesus Christ is the name of the last book of the Bible. It is you
and I, the unveiling of Genesis 1! God breathed into our spirit the seven
traits of Christ in Genesis 1, and as His revealed Bride, we show the world
what God did in the beginning. The seven Days of Creation, the seven seals,
seven trumpets, seven vials of anointing, and seven traits of the Bride are
synchronized. Each one of us is herein, and our new nature (new name) is found
written in this Book. The key verses in scripture we each have as rhema words
from God, are actually descriptions of who we are in Christ. They look like
guiding lights or commandments, but we read in Psalm 119, "in your book all my members were written,
which in continuance were fashioned."
Day 1: Let There Be Light,
and Light as a Jasper Stone
Illumination
that Jesus is who the Bible says He is, new inspiration, illumination of the
Bible being the Word of God. Original Elohim root and election sparks up and
voices it's presence, making the adherent joyful and intoxicated with a new
life. The loosed seal of conquering, the trumpet of 1/3 destruction of 'old
fruit,' blows, the vial of oil that takes out all of the old fruit is poured
out, and the Bride's 1st trait is revealed, Light as a jasper stone. These are
all the same thing. In the trumpet we hear what the Spirit is saying, and the
anointing actualizes it. Our spirit man (1/3 of our being) hears the Word as a
trumpet, and the oil of anointing is that trumpet's executor for the soul/body
fusion.
Day 2: Separation of Waters
Above from Waters Below, Separation of Bride's Reality from the Carnal Man.
Heavenly
and earthly wisdom (water that washes) separate. There is discernment of the
understanding of the Word, distinguished from the carnal mind's worldview. The
seal of removing earthly or 'false' peace is loosed, the trumpet of 1/3 removal
of subconscious 'old man,' is blown, and the vial of oil that destroys all of
the subconscious old man is poured out, and the Bride has a wall separating her
from the world's spirit as She heals the world.
Day 3: Fruit Trees Manifest,
and Gates Protected
The
fruit of the Spirit begins to authenticate, as love, joy, and peace become
dominant. The seal is loosed to reveal that aspect of the living epistle that
is symbolized by wheat. The oil and wine are preserved and protected. The
trumpet that destroys 1/3 of 'old consciousness and persona' makes its sound,
as communication systems, relationships, and old ministry paradigms are aspects
of the rivers described in John's vision. The oil that kills all of these old
rivers is poured out, and the Bride's 12 gates (5 natural senses, 5 spiritual
senses, the heart, and the mind) are fortified and protected. These are all
one.
Day 4: Ordained Lights and
a Sure Foundation
The
sun, moon, and stars are created. What had been a more general light on day 1,
shines with greater vibrancy, for this child of God has manifested the
"4th man in the fire" of tribulation. A person who is an ordained
light has responsibility to operate in the ministry assigned. The seal is
loosed that brings death to more 'earthly' ideas and scriptural interpretation,
the trumpet destroys 1/3 of the 'old man's' illumination (also symbolized by
sun, moon, and stars), and the vial of oil is poured upon the entirety of 'old
illuminations,' and reasons for compromise. The Bride stands solidly on the
foundations of mentors.
Day 5: Heights and Depths
Fish
in the deep and birds in the heights were created on the 5th day, and we
comprehend with all saints the heights, depth, breadth and length of Christ.
The seal of honor to those areas of our lives that are crucified with Christ is
loosed, the trumpet blows that opens the depths of our being, and more things
that are not of God's image are to be destroyed. The vial of oil is poured upon
the "seat of the beast," the root issues seen and understood when the
5th trumpet blew. The Bride has equal (righteous) measure and maturity in
height, breadth, length, and depth.
Day 6: Mankind
Man
and beast were created on day 6. The 6th seal loosed makes all that was
familiar to depart, the 6th trumpet kills 1/3 of all people (hearing this
trumpet kills soulish dominance, the soul being 1/3 of the total man who is
spirit, soul, and body). The 6th vial of oil evokes anything in us that opposes
God, that it might manifest to be destroyed. The 6th trait of the Bride is the
adornment of precious stones. The precious stones on Aaron's breastplate
foreshadowed regeneration of the perfect, or 'the perfect man...the fullness of
the measure of the stature of Christ" as Eph. 4 describes the result of
ministry to the Bride.
7th Day: Perfection and
Rest
The
7th day is God's Sabbath, the 7th seal loosed is silence (selah), the 7th
trumpet signifies the mystery of God now finished (revealed), the 7th vial of
oil is God saying "it is done," and the 7th trait of the Bride is the
Lord God and indwelling Lamb being one, the temple of God. God and His
crucified/resurrected child as one new being...this is the abiding place of
God.
