(TNDL): THE TEACHINGS OF FULL TRUTH AND TRUE LIGHT OF THE NEW DIVINE LOGOS, SANCTIONED BY “ELYON’S SEER PROPHET” FOR THE CLEANSING OF OUR UNIVERSAL COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE, OF TERRA (EARTH) AND SKY!!!!!!!
Ezekiel 37 King James Version (KJV) 37 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Philo Judaeus JEWISH PHILOSOPHER WRITTEN BY: The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica See Article History Alternative Title: Philo of Alexandria Philo Judaeus, also called Philo of Alexandria, (born 15–10 BCE, Alexandria—died 45–50 CE, Alexandria), Greek-speaking Jewish philosopher, the most important representative of Hellenistic Judaism. His writings provide the clearest view of this development of Judaism in the Diaspora. As the first to attempt to synthesize revealed faith and philosophic reason, he occupies a unique position in the history of philosophy. He is also regarded by Christians as a forerunner of Christian theology.

READ MORE ON THIS TOPIC Jerusalem: Western Wall, Second Temple Judaism: Philo Judaeus The first systematic attempt to apply Greek philosophical concepts to Jewish doctrines was made by Philo Judaeus (Philo of Alexandria) in the 1st century ce. Philo was influenced by Platonic and Stoic writings and probably also by certain postbiblical Jewish beliefs and speculations.…
Life And Background Little is known of the life of Philo. Josephus, the historian of the Jews who also lived in the 1st century, says that Philo’s family surpassed all others in the nobility of its lineage. His father had apparently played a prominent role in Palestine before moving to Alexandria. Philo’s brother Alexander Lysimachus, who was a general tax administrator in charge of customs in Alexandria, was the richest man in the city and indeed must have been one of the richest men in the Hellenistic world, because Josephus says that he gave a huge loan to the wife of the Jewish king Agrippa I and that he contributed the gold and silver with which nine huge gates of the Temple in Jerusalem were overlaid. Alexander was also extremely influential in Roman imperial circles, being an old friend of the emperor Claudius and having acted as guardian for the emperor’s mother.
Philo was born between 15 and 10 BCE. The community of Alexandria, to judge from the language of the Jewish papyri and inscriptions, had for nearly three centuries been almost exclusively Greek-speaking and indeed regarded the Septuagint (the 3rd-century-BCE translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek) as divinely inspired. During the century and a half before Philo’s birth, Alexandria had been the home of a number of Jewish writers whose works exist now only in fragments. These men were often influenced by the Greek culture in which they lived and wrote apologies for Judaism.
The Alexandrian Jews were eager to enroll their children of secondary school age in Greek gymnasiums, institutions with religious associations dedicated to the liberal arts and athletics; in them, Jews were certainly called upon to make compromises with their traditions. It may be assumed that Philo was a product of such an education: he mentions a wide range of Greek writers, especially the epic and dramatic poets; he was intimately acquainted with the techniques of the Greek rhetorical schools; and he praises the gymnasium. Philo’s education, like that which he ascribes to Moses, most probably consisted of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, harmonics, philosophy, grammar, rhetoric, and logic.
Like the cultured Greeks of his day, Philo often attended the theatre, though it had distinctly religious connotations, and he noted the different effects of the same music on various members of the audience and the enthusiasm of the audience for a tragedy of Euripides. He was a keen observer of boxing contests and attended chariot races as well. He also mentions the frequency with which he attended costly suppers with their lavish entertainment.
Philo says nothing of his own Jewish education. The only mention of Jewish education in his work indicates how relatively weak it must have been, because he speaks only of Jewish schools that met on the Sabbath for lectures on ethics. That he was far from the Palestinian Hellenizers and that he regarded himself as an observant Jew is clear, however, from his statement that one should not omit the observance of any of the Jewish customs that have been divinely ordained. Philo is critical both of those who took the Bible too literally and thus encountered theological difficulties, particularly anthropomorphisms (i.e., describing God in terms of human characteristics), and those who went to excesses in their allegorical interpretation of the laws, with the resulting conclusion, anticipating Paul’s antinomianism, that because the ceremonial laws were only a parable, they need no longer be obeyed. Philo says nothing of his own religious practices, except that he made a festival pilgrimage to Jerusalem, though he nowhere indicates whether he made more than one such visit.
In the eyes of the Palestinian rabbis the Alexandrian Jews were particularly known for their cleverness in posing puzzles and for their sharp replies. As the largest repository of Jewish law apart from the Talmud before the Middle Ages, Philo’s work is of special importance to those who wish to discern the relationship of Palestine and the Diaspora in the realm of law (halakah) and ritual observance. Philo’s exposition of the law may represent either an academic discussion giving an ideal description of Jewish law or the actual practice in the Jewish courts in Egypt. On the whole, Philo is in accord with the prevailing Palestinian point of view; nonetheless he differs from it in numerous details and is often dependent upon Greek and Roman law.
That Philo experienced some sort of identity crisis is indicated by a passage in his On the Special Laws. In this work, he describes his longing to escape from worldly cares to the contemplative life, his joy at having succeeded in doing so (perhaps with the Egyptian Jewish ascetic sect of the Therapeutae described in his treatise On the Contemplative Life), and his renewed pain at being forced once again to participate in civic turmoil. Philo appears to have been dissatisfied with his life in the bustling metropolis of Alexandria: He praises the Essenes—a Jewish sect who lived in monastic communities in the Dead Sea area—for avoiding large cities because of the iniquities that had become inveterate among city dwellers, for living an agricultural life, and for disdaining wealth.
The one identifiable event in Philo’s life occurred in the year 39 or 40, when, after a pogrom against the Jews in Alexandria, he headed an embassy to the emperor Caligula asking him to reassert Jewish rights granted by the Ptolemies (rulers of Egypt) and confirmed by the emperor Augustus. Philo was prepared to answer the charge of disloyalty levelled against the Jews by the notorious anti-Semite Apion, a Greek grammarian, when the Emperor cut him short. Thereupon Philo told his fellow delegates not to be discouraged because God would punish Caligula, who, shortly thereafter, was indeed assassinated.
Works Philo’s genuine works may be classified into three groups:
1. Scriptural essays and homilies based on specific verses or topics of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible), especially Genesis. The most important of the 25 extant treatises in this group are Allegories of the Laws, commentary on Genesis, and On the Special Laws, an exposition of the laws in the Pentateuch.
2. General philosophical and religious essays. These include That Every Good Man Is Free, proving the Stoic paradox that only the wise man is free; On the Eternity of the World, perhaps not genuine, proving, particularly in opposition to the Stoics, that the world is uncreated and indestructible; On Providence, extant in Armenian, a dialogue between Philo, who argues that God is providential in his concern for the world, and Alexander, presumably Philo’s nephew Tiberius Julius Alexander, who raises doubts; and On Alexander, extant in Armenian, concerning the irrational souls of animals.
3. Essays on contemporary subjects. These include On the Contemplative Life, a eulogy of the Therapeutae sect; the fragmentary Hypothetica (“Suppositions”), actually a defense of the Jews against anti-Semitic charges to which Josephus’ treatise Against Apion bears many similarities; Against Flaccus, on the crimes of Aulus Avillius Flaccus, the Roman governor of Egypt, against the Alexandrian Jews and on his punishment; and On the Embassy to Gaius, an attack on the Emperor Caligula (i.e., Gaius) for his hostility toward the Alexandrian Jews and an account of the unsuccessful embassy to the Emperor headed by Philo.
A number of works ascribed to Philo are almost certainly spurious. Most important of these is Biblical Antiquities, an imaginative reconstruction of Jewish history from Adam to the death of Saul, the first king of Israel.
Philo’s works are rambling, having little sense of form; repetitious; artificially rhetorical; and almost devoid of a sense of humour. His style is generally involved, allusive, strongly tinged with mysticism, and often obscure; this may be a result of a deliberate attempt on his part to discourage all but the initiated few.
Originality Of His Thought The key influences on Philo’s philosophy were Plato, Aristotle, the Neo-Pythagoreans, the Cynics, and the Stoics. Philo’s basic philosophic outlook is Platonic, so much so that Jerome and other Church Fathers quote the apparently widespread saying: “Either Plato philonizes or Philo platonizes.” Philo’s reverence for Plato, particularly for the Symposium and the Timaeus, is such that he never took open issue with him, as he did with the Stoics and other philosophers. But Philo is hardly a plagiarist; he made modifications in Plato’s theories. To Aristotle he was indebted primarily in matters of cosmology and ethics. To the Neo-Pythagoreans, who had grown in importance during the century before Philo, he was particularly indebted for his views on the mystic significance of numbers, especially the number seven, and the scheme of a peculiar, self-disciplined way of life as a preparation for immortality. The Cynics, with their diatribes, influenced him in the form of his sermons. Though Philo more often employed the terminology of the Stoics than that of any other school, he was critical of their thoughts.
In the past, scholars attempted to diminish Philo’s importance as a theological thinker and to present him merely as a preacher, but in the mid-20th century H.A. Wolfson, an American scholar, demonstrated Philo’s originality as a thinker. In particular, Philo was the first to show the difference between the knowability of God’s existence and the unknowability of his essence. Again, in his view of God, Philo was original in insisting on an individual Providence able to suspend the laws of nature in contrast to the prevailing Greek philosophical view of a universal Providence who is himself subject to the unchanging laws of nature. As a Creator, God made use of assistants: hence the plural “Let us make man” in Genesis, chapter 1. Philo did not reject the Platonic view of a preexistent matter but insisted that this matter too was created. Similarly, Philo reconciled his Jewish theology with Plato’s theory of Ideas in an original way: he posited the Ideas as God’s eternal thoughts, which God then created as real beings before he created the world.
Philo saw the cosmos as a great chain of being presided over by the Logos, a term going back to pre-Socratic philosophy, which is the mediator between God and the world, though at one point he identifies the Logos as a second God. Philo departed from Plato principally in using the term Logos for the Idea of Ideas and for the Ideas as a whole and in his statement that the Logos is the place of the intelligible world. In anticipation of Christian doctrine he called the Logos the first-begotten Son of God, the man of God, the image of God, and second to God.
Philo was also novel in his exposition of the mystic love of God that God has implanted in man and through which man becomes Godlike. According to some scholars, Philo used the terminology of the pagan religions and mystery cults, including the term enthousiasmos (“having God within one”), merely because it was part of the common speech of the day; but there is nothing inherently contradictory in Judaism in the combination of mysticism and legalism in the same thinker. The influence of the mystic notions of Platonism, especially of the Symposium, and of the popular mystery cults on Philo’s attempt to present Judaism as the one true mystery is hardly superficial; indeed, Philo is a major source of knowledge of the doctrines of these mystery cults, notably that of rebirth. Perhaps, through his mystic presentation of Judaism, Philo hoped to enable Judaism in the Diaspora to compete with the mystery religions in its proselyting efforts, as well as in its attempts to hold on to its adherents. That he was essentially in the mainstream of Judaism, however, is indicated by his respect for the literal interpretation of the Bible, his denunciation of the extreme allegorists, and his failure to mention any specific rites of initiation for proselytes, as well as the lack of evidence that he was himself a devotee of a particular mystery cult.
The purpose of what Philo called mystic “sober intoxication” was to lead one out of the material into the eternal world. Like Plato, Philo regarded the body as the prison house of the soul, and in his dualism of body and soul, as in his description of the flight from the self, the contrast between God and the world, and the yearning for a direct experience of God, he anticipated much of Gnosticism, a dualistic religion that became important in the 2nd century CE. But unlike all the Greek philosophers, with the exception of the Epicureans, who believed in limited freedom of will, Philo held that man is completely free to act against all the laws of his own nature.
In his ethical theory Philo described two virtues, under the heading of justice, that are otherwise unknown in Greek philosophic literature—religious faith and humanity. Again, for him repentance was a virtue, whereas for other Greek philosophers it was a weakness. Perfect happiness comes, however, not through men’s own efforts to achieve virtue but only through the grace of God.
In his political theory Philo often said that the best form of government is democracy, but for him democracy was far from mob rule, which he denounced as the worst of polities, perhaps because he saw the Alexandrian mob in action. For Philo democracy meant not a particular form of government but due order under any form of government in which all men are equal before the law. From this point of view, the Mosaic constitution, which embodies the best elements of all forms of government, is the ideal. Indeed, the ultimate goal of history is that the whole world be a single state under a democratic constitution.

The El-Elyon and the Lord Yeshua L Michael, promised that he shall pour out his Spirit upon all flesh and his servants shall prophecy. Joel 2. The servants who the Almighty God, Most High is awakening in this end times to proclaim the gospel message of the Kingdom of Heaven/ kingdom of God, shall be the Seer prophets, not just theologians, teachers, and preachers, because GOD, the eternal heavenly Father, through is only begotten Son, is building His Kingdom/Ekklesia (Church) through the Spoken ‘WORD,’ the New Divine Logos, according to Revelation 19:12.This is the WORD of faith, Truth, and power; this same Divine Logos (WORD). It is He who created the heaven and earth, according to the gospel of John chapt. 1, where he said, in a beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, Most High, and the WORD was GOD. All things were made by him, and there was nothing made without his making. HE, YESHUA, IS THE NEW DIVINE LOGOS, THE WORD, AND HE, THROUGH HIS ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER, IS MAKING THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH, WITH THE NEW JERUSALEM, THE HOLY CITY OF GOD, MOST HIGH. So, the powers of the Most High shall be pouring down of all flesh in these end times to make holy Seer prophets of them; there will be both men and women, empowered by the Great and mighty Spirit of the Mighty El-Elyon and His only begotten beloved Son. This event and move of GOD, the world has never heard nor seen before. These servants of GOD shall remain faithful, obedient and true to their GOD and Lord, in proclaiming the Gospel message of the Kingdom of heaven/of the kingdom of GOD Most High! Joel 2.” (TNDL)
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! because only El-Elyon is able to say surely, which nation or nations, will stave. What the Most High has predicted by his great major Seer prophet, is those nations at the end times, shall not study war anymore. They shall beat their swords, of war weapons into plowshares or invest their money into agricultural needs, starting in (India). For the Lord shall put this state of action in the minds of his servants, as he did in the days of the King Potiphar and Joseph the dreamer." (TNDL)." And he shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore Isaiah 2:4.” (TNDL) Copyright 2018 TNDL
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, father of Methuselah, the great-grandfather of Noah, is scarcely referred to in the Holy Bible. I Enoch, also called the Book of Enoch, is traditionally believed to have been written by Enoch. And in studying these writings, the Christian academic, Dr. R.H. Charles, Yale University director of Dead Sea Scroll Studies states:
The influence of Enoch on the New Testament has been greater than that of all other apocryphal and pseudepigraphal books taken together…. All the writers of the New Testament were familiar with [Enoch’s book], and were more or less influenced by it in thought and diction.1
There is no doubt that the Master Jesus was familiar with the writings of Enoch.2 And upon closer examination, many of the key phrases and sayings recorded as Jesus’ red-letter quotes throughout the Gospels resemble the ideas and terms found in the Book of Enoch.
Enochian scholars today have based their research findings on the original Ethiopic Bible, which includes the Book of Enoch, first introduced to the modern world in the 1821 English translation by Oxford professor Richard Laurence. Additionally, the later 20th century discovery of several Aramaic Enoch texts, found among the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran, places the origins of those fragmented pages of Enoch’s book at least 200 years before the birth of Jesus.
Why Is the Book of Enoch Not in the Bible? Why then is Enoch’s book not in the Bible nor generally regarded as canonical, official Holy Scripture? 3 There is ample evidence that Enoch’s lost book story and its 1500-year disappearance from Western Christianity revolves around a concerted effort made by the (Roman Catholic) Church to suppress and censure its distribution. In fact, in the 4th century, some influential Church theologians decried Enoch’s book as heresy.4
Despite the Rabbi Jesus’ recorded words citing obvious references to the Book of Enoch,5 despite evidence that the apostles and early Christians accepted the words of Enoch as authentic Scripture, the real mystery behind the story of the lost book of Enoch’s bible is only now coming to light. The reason that I Enoch is not included in the Christian Bible today may be explained in part by the subject that is his book’s predominant theme.
Fallen Angels—Topic of Controversy The controversy for many theologians regarding Enoch’s teachings centers on Enoch’s claim of a fall from heaven of a certain segment of the angelic realm. In his book, Enoch described himself as the Messenger of the Ancient of Days, who is referred to in Scripture as the Most High, the Great and Holy One. It is he who sent Enoch to Earth as a prophet with power to reprove a rebellious segment of an angelic band, called the Watchers.
The Watchers were mighty guardian angels, charged by God to protect mankind. According to the Book of Enoch, a small number of these angels, beguiled by the loveliness of earthly women, chose to incarnate and cohabitate with them. The children born of their unions were disclaimed by Enoch as “evil spirits upon earth.” In Enoch’s words, “The spirits of the[se] giants shall [be known] as the Nephilim which shall oppress, corrupt, fall, contend, and bruise upon earth.”
Enoch’s Book—Judgment and Warning From the mists of antiquity, before the Flood of Noah’s time, Enoch, the seventh from Adam, was sent by God to warn his children to avoid interbreeding with the descendants of the children conceived in the illicit marriages between earthly women and these fallen angels. The major theme of the Book of Enoch then is the final judgment of those angels who fell from their heavenly estate, along with all their progeny. This final judgment of the Watchers is to occur not during Enoch’s lifetime but “in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the elect.” (En. 1:2)
Some scholars interpret the time of this judgment to coincide with the years when Jesus walked the Earth as the Son of Man and the Elect One, terms which Enoch himself used when speaking of the coming Messiah.
Some students of the Bible, particularly of specific New Testament chapters and prophecies in Revelation and Daniel concerning the Last Judgment, believe Jesus took up the mantle of the Patriarch Enoch and that of the Old Testament Law and the Prophets. Students of the ascended masters’ teachings today, including those familliar with the Enoch material edited by the Summit University Press, conclude that the ministries of Jesus Christ and his forerunner John the Baptist were a fulfillment of the judgment prophecies preserved in I Enoch.
The Spirit of Enoch with Us Today Many in our community who regularly attend our online service broadcasts and keep abreast of the teachings of the ascended masters as delivered through David C. Lewis, acknowledge that ascended masters, including Enoch, with other heavenly beings, are able to convey instruction and divine grace through a living amanuensis by the agency of the Holy Spirit, much as the Old Testament prophets were the mouthpiece of God to the children of Israel.
Enoch is very much alive and present in the realms of heaven and has something to say to the descendants of his own lineage. How does the Ascended Master Enoch look upon what is occurring in the Middle East? What is his response to the desecration of holy sites and sacred memorials in Syria and Iraq at the hands of terrorist groups? You can read his words or hear his messages in our HeartStreams Database. Please refer to the database module on the right column of this page.
In what we refer to as a HeartStream or inspired message, Enoch shares the following message with our community and devotees everywhere:
O holy ones of God, though love is at the core of all that you do, understand that the law of love is also within the action of cosmic justice and judgment. God says to man, Enough is enough! There is no more place for darkness, war and division upon my Earth—that which the Elohim have created and which is your own garden paradise upon this planet to live in. If you would choose darkness, then that darkness will proceed to engulf you, O souls. And yet if you choose a righteous walk in light, then that light will be your guiding principle, the daystar, the polestar of your being, and I will live through you. The law of love and righteousness will manifest through you, and all that you came to this Earth to fulfill may be realized through that law of love.
Sounds very much like the words of a prophet who, from the outset, claimed that the Great and Holy One sent him to reprove the Watchers and to deliver the stern judgment of God for ignoring their appointed task of inspiring and raising humankind.
Daniel 10:11-13 King James Version (KJV) 11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
"TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO, YESHUA L MICHAEL, CAME IN THE FLESH TO EARTH TEACHING AND PROCLAIMING THE KINGDOM OF HIS ETERNAL FATHER, GOD, THE ETERNAL ONE! YESHUA OF NAZARETH, EMMANUEL, WAS NOT TEACHING ABOUT HIS OWN KINGDOM, HE SPOKE ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD, HIS ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER. IN HIS PRAYER, WHEN HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM TO TEACH THEM HOW TO PRAY, IN MATHEW 6:5-15, HE PRAYED: ‘OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, YOUR KINGDOM COME ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.’ SURELY, YESHUA WAS SPEAKING ABOUT HIS FATHER'S HEAVENLY KINGDOM. YESHUA CAME AS THE SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD, WHO AS JOHN THE BAPTIST PROCLAIMED: ‘LOOK THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD’. WHICH IS TO SAY, AS JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS SENT TO MAKE THE WAY FOR THE LAMB OF GOD, EVEN SO, YESHUA WAS SENT TO PREPARE THE WAY FOR HIS ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER’S KINGDOM, THAT MUST BE REALIZED BY ALL PEOPLE OF THE END OF THE AGE, EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD HAVE STARTED AS A MUSTARD SEED TWO THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE, BUT WOULD GROW AND COVERED THE EARTH AT THE END OF THE AGE. THE FIG TREE, KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, DOES NOT COME TO MATURITY UNTIL THE OLD HEAVEN IS PASSED AWAY, AND THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH WITH THE NEW JERUSALEM, THE CITY OF GOD AND OF THE LAMB, IS IN PROGRESS. NO SIN, ANYWHERE, CAN ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMING DOWN FROM GOD IN HEAVEN TO A CLEAN AND PURE EARTH. REVELATION 21&22. ALSO, LOOK AT ISAIAH 11, AND MICAH 4, WHEN THE WHOLE EARTH IS PURIFIED AND ALL LIVING THINGS ARE TRANSFORMED, AND LUCIFER’S EVIL ENERGY REMOVED FROM THEIR MINDS AND SPIRITS. WE SEE THAT IN THE NEW EARTH, HUMANS, MALE AND FEMALE, SHALL BE STILL LIVING ON EARTH, WHILE THE NEW JERUSALEM, THE CITY OF GOD IN NOW ON EARTH. HOLY ONES ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE THEIR GIFTS INTO THE HOLY CITY OF GOD, BUT NOTHING UNCLEAN OR THINGS THAT CAN DEFILE, CAN ENTER THERE. SO, THE NOW REALIZED KINGDOM OF GOD, IS BEING RULED FROM THE TEMPLE OF GOD, WHICH ARE THE ETERNAL FATHER GOD, AND THE LAMB. THEY BOTH ARE NOW THE TEMPLE OF GOD. REVELATION 21&22.” (TNDL)
“THERE IS STRENGTH AND POWER IN THE NAME OF YESHUA, OF NAZARETH; FOR ALL THOSE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM AND WALK IN HIS WAYS IN OBEDIENCE, WHEN THEY CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD, MICHAEL YESHUA, THERE SHALL BE DELIVERANCE, BECAUSE OUT OF ZION HAS COME THE DELIVERER, YESHUA THE MESSIAH, THE SALVATION OF MANKIND. BLESS HIS HOLY NAME!” (TNDL) Copyright 2018 TNDL
“ALTHOUGH THE WORD, ‘GOSPEL’ WAS USED ON MANY OCCASION, PRIER TO THE CHRISTIAN ERA, WHEN YESHUA OF NAZARETH BEGAN HIS DIVINE MINISTRY, HE WAS SPECIFIC IN IS MESSAGE. HIS GOOD NEWS WAS NOT ABOUT RECEIVING A REWARD FOR BEING THE FIRST IN BREAKING THE SPECIAL NEWS FOR A HANDSOME REWARD, LIKE THE PRE CHRISTIAN ERA. HIS SPECIAL GOOD NEW WAS ABOUT A DIVINE GOSPEL OF HIS ETERNAL FATHER'S KINGDOM! YESHUA CALLED IT THE (GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD). YESHUA’S GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, MARK 1:15, YESHUA SAID REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF KINGDOM OF GOD. HE ALSO TOLD THE UNBELIEVING PEOPLE THERE, THAT HIS KINGDOM IS HIDDEN TO MANY. Luke 13, tells us of TWO PARABLES (ONE) The parable of the Mustard Seed, and TWO, the parable of the Leaven.WHEN WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THESE TWO PROVACATIVE PARABLES ARE SAYING, THEN WE WILL BEGIN TO COMPREHEND YESHUA’S MASSAGE ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN OR THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AS HE SOMETIMES SAID. YESHUA’S GOOD NEWS WAS NOT TO START A NEW RELIGION, IT WAS ABOUT STARTING BUILDING A KINGDOM; HIS ETERNAL FATHER'S KINGDOM. IN THE LORD'S PRAYER, HE PRAYED, THY KINGDOM COME ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. MATHEW 6:5-15. ALSO, YESHUA GAVE THE PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD OWNER, MARK 12; Mathew 21: 33-46; Luke 20:9-19.” (TNDL) Copyright 2018 TNDL
“YESHUA DECLARED THAT IN THE WORLD (THE WORLD, THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT) HIS SERVANTS AND FOLLOWERS WILL HAVE TRIBULATION, BUT BE NOT AFRAID, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD, AND SO SHALL YOU, AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO TRUST AND OBEY HIS COMMANDS AND RIGHTEOUS PATHWAY! IF YOU ARE ONE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL REIGN IN EL-ELYON'S KINGDOM, THEN, MOST CERTAINLY, YOU SHALL BE PUT THROUGH THE FIRE TO BE TESTED AND TRIED AS SILVER AND GOLD ARE PUT THROUGH THE CLEANSING AND PURIFYING PROCESS. THIS MEANS, DENYING OF SELF, TAKING UP YOUR CROSS AND CONTINUE TO FOLLOW YESHUA, YOUR SALVATION. OUR KING HIMSELF, WILL PUT YOU THROUGH THESE TRIALS AND TESTS. THE DEVIL, OUR ACRH ENEMY, SHALL TEMPT US AS HE TEMPTED YESHUA, THROUGHOUT HIS JOURNEY TO GETHSEMANE GARDEN. SO, HOW CAN WE SURVIVE ALL OF THIS? THE BOTTOM LINE IS TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN HIM, AND BE OBEDIENT TO HIS COMMANDS AND HIS WILL. LOOK AT THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 14:12-18. YESHUA, IS TRUTH AND THERE IS NO LIE IN HIM. WHAT HE PROMISED TO HIS SERVANTS AND FOLLOWERS, HE WILL DO, BECAUSE HE KEEPS HIS PROMISES. HE PROMISED THAT IN THE WORLD, WE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION, BUT WE MUST NOT BE AFRAID, BECAUSE HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD, AND SO SHALL WE. “ (TNDL)

Joel 2 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Day of the Lord
2 Blow the [a]trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For the day of the Lord is coming,
For it is at hand:
2 A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
A people come, great and strong,
The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
3 A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like [b]swift steeds, so they run.
5 With a noise like chariots
Over mountaintops they leap,
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
Like a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before them the people writhe in pain;
All faces [c]are drained of color.
7 They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation,
And they do not break ranks.
8 They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own [d]column.
Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not [e]cut down.
9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.
11 The Lord gives voice before His army,
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible;
Who can endure it?
A Call to Repentance
12 “Now, therefore,” says the Lord,
“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
14 Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him—
A grain offering and a drink offering
For the Lord your God?
15 Blow the [f]trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
16 Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;
Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
And the bride from her dressing room.
17 Let the priests, who minister to the Lord,
Weep between the porch and the altar;
Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord,
And do not give Your heritage to reproach,
That the nations should [g]rule over them.
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’ ”
The Land Refreshed
18 Then the Lord will be zealous for His land,
And pity His people.
19 The Lord will answer and say to His people,
“Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil,
And you will be satisfied by them;
I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
20 “But I will remove far from you the northern army,
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back toward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done [h]monstrous things.”
21 Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done [i]marvelous things!
22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the [j]former rain faithfully,
And He will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.
24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,
And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming [k]locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
And praise the name of the Lord your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
And My people shall never be put to shame.
27 Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel:
I am the Lord your God
And there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame.
"ACCORDING TO THE OXFORD AND WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY, IN THE DIVINE SCENE, SPIRITUAL MATTERS, SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF A DIVINE LAW OR LAWS. IT ALSO FOLLOWERS, WHERE THERE IS NO LAW, THERE IS NO SIN. THE LAW OF MOSES, OR LAWS, THE ISRAELITE PEOPLE WERE GIVEN, WERE GIVEN TO THEM THROUGH MOSES( MOSHE), BUT ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 1, THE WORD, YESHUA, CAME WITH THE FULLNESS OF GRACE AND TRUTH! WHY IS THAT SIGNIFICANT? BECAUSE THE LAW OF MOSHE, WAS NOT GIVEN TO ANY OTHER PEOPLE, BUT THE CHILDREN HE BROUGHT OUT OF BONDAGE FROM EGYPT UNDER THE RAMESES 11, PHARAOH’S DYNASTY. BUT YESHUA, THE LAMB OF GOD, MOST HIGH, DID NOT COME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE THE ISRAELITE PEOPLE, HE CAME TO BRING SALVATION TO THE WORLD. JOHN 3: 16 SAYS, ‘FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BELOVED SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVE OR TRUST IN HIM, SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!’ SO, HAD NOT YESHUA COME TO BE THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB OF GOD, THE GENTILES (OTHER NATIONS BESIDE THE CHILDREN OF JACOB/ISRAEL) THEY, THE NATIONS, WOULD BE LEFT OUT. AND YESHUA CAME TO SAVE ALL PEOPLE WHO TRUST IN HIM, EVEN THE WORST SINNER. HE SAID THAT HE CAME NOT TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS UNTO REPENTANCE. HE IS THE ULTIMATE CLEANSER AND PURGER; THERE IS NO OTHER. HE IS THE WAY, TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. THEREFORE, EL-ELYON'S SERVANTS ARE TO TAKE THE GOSPEL, THE KINGDOM OF GOD, MOST HIGH, TO ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH, TEACHING AND PROCLAIMING IT IN HIS ORIGINAL NAME. IN THE NAME OF YESHUA OF NAZARETH, IS THE WORD OF YESHUA. LOOK AT ACT 2: 28. WE MUST FOLLOW YESHUA'S TEACHINGS IN JOHN 14:12-18, AND BE OBEDIENT TO HIS COMMANDMENTS WITH THE VIEW OF LOVING GOD AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE LORD, YESHUA!" (TNDL)
"IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND NEW CITY OF GOD, THE NEW JERUSALEM, THE ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER AND SON, THE LAMB, SAID, NO SIN CAN ENTER THE NEW CREATION THAT HE HAS MADE." (TNDL)
"AND AFTER THE PASSING AWAY OF THE FIRST HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND AFTER THAT, THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE MADE; ALSO IS MADE THE CITY OF GOD, MOST HIGH, THE NEW JERUSALEM. THIS CITY IS PURE DIVINE SPIRIT. IN THIS HOLY CITY, FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT; ONLY OUR SPIRIT. AND EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ARE BRAND NEW SPIRIT, AS THE LAMB OF GOD, YESHUA, THE SON OF MAN IS. AND BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MANKIND ON EARTH, THE NEW EARTH." (TNDL)
"DOES THIS MEAN THAT GOD HIMSELF, HAS BECOME A MAN AND IS ACTUALLY WALKING AMONG HIS CREATION IN HUMAN FORM BEING GOD, THE ETERNAL, TABERNACLE? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AN AMAZING.REVELATION 21&22." (TNDL).
"YESHUA, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD, MOST HIGH, TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO, WALKED THE EARTH, BUT VERY FEW RECOGNIZED HIM. HE WAS WALKING IN THE SPIRIT AND IN THE TRUTH. WHEN THE TABERNACLE OF GOD COMES, WHEN THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH IS MADE, AND THE CITY OF THE NEW JERUSALEM COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO THE EARTH, WILL YOU BE ONE OF THOSE WHO SHALL KNOW AND RECOGNIZE HIM? BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN OR MANKIND! DOES THIS MEAN THAT GOD HIMSELF, HAS BECOME A MAN AND IS ACTUALLY WALKING AMONG HIS CREATION IN HUMAN FORM BEING GOD, THE ETERNAL TABERNACLE? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. REVELATION 21&22." (TNDL)
"Streams of living river water that quenches the thirsty soul and waters the plants and living things. The Psalmist, King David, said in Psalm 1: Blessed is the man that walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the Law of the Lord is his Law he meditates day and night. Such a person shall be like trees planted by the rivers of water; his leaves shall not wither, but whatever he does, shall prosper!" (TNDL)
"IN THE HOLY CITY OF THE NEW JERUSALEM, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST THAT IS COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN TO THE NEW EARTH! WHAT WILL THESE HOLY PEOPLE THAT MAKE UP HIS BRIDE BE LIKE? WILL THEY GIVE BIRTH TO CHILDREN? WILL WOMEN AND MEN BE FORCED TO MARRY ONE OR MORE HUSBANDS OR WIVES? WHAT DOES YESHUA, OF NAZARETH, THE LAMB OF GOD MOST HIGH, AND THE HOLY SEER PROPHETS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS NARRATIVE? AND WHAT EXACTLY WILL THE NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH AND THE HOLY CITY OF GOD, THE NEW JERUSALEM OF THE LAMB, BE LIKE?" (TNDL)
"THE OTHER QUESTION THAT I AM ASKING IS: WILL THE FOLLOWERS OF YESHUA'S HUSBANDS AND WIVES AND CHILDREN GO TO THE SAME LEVEL OR PLACE IN HEAVEN, AND WILL THEY KNOW EACH OTHER IN THE NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH AND NEW JERUSALEM, THE HOLY CITY OF GOD MOST HIGH?" (TNDL)
"HAPPY SUNDAY, SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH. HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE ALL THESE HOLY ONES WHO DWELL IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH? IT IS THESE BLESSED SERVANTS AND CHILDREN OF EL-ELYON, WHO STAY UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD, MOST HIGH. THE LORD, MICHAEL YESHUA, REWARDS THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SERVE AND OBEY HIM. HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD, ELYON? HIS GREATNESS CAN BE SEEN AND KNOWN, WHEN WE GAZE INTO THE SKY IN A CLEAR NIGHT AND BEHOLD HIS WONDERFUL HANDY WORKS. KING DAVID IN PSALM 19 SAYS, THAT THE HEAVENS (CONSTELLATIONS) DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE FIRMAMENT SHOWS HIS HANDY WORKS. THE SERVANTS AND CHILDREN OF THE HIGHEST, OUGHT TO GIVE HIM GLORY, PRAISE, HONOR WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH, AND ALSO MUCH RESPECT TO HIM, BECAUSE HE DESERVES IT. SO LET US CONTINUE STAYING IN THE SECRET PLACE OF ELYON, SO THAT WE CAN ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD. HOW GREAT AND WONDERFUL IS OUR GOD MOST HIGH? WHEN WE LOOK IN THE NIGHT SKY AND SEE THE STARS OF THE HEAVEN, WE CANNOT BUT WONDER ABOUT THE CREATOR'S AWESOMENESS! KING DAVID SAID IN PSALM 19, THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE FIRMAMENT SHOWS HIS HANDY WORKS. ORION IS JUST ONE OF THE CONSTELLATIONS AND IT IS A UNIVERSE IN ITSELF. HOW GREAT AND WONDERFUL IS THE GOD OF KING DAVID, WHOSE GOD IS OUR GOD AS WELL. WHO ARE THESE BRIGHT AND SHINING STARS UP THERE IN THE HEAVEN? ACCORDING TO KING DAVID, THEY ARE THE HANDY WORKS OF EL-ELYON. (MOST HIGH GOD). THEREFORE, FOR ALL HIS WONDERFUL WORKS OF HIS CREATION, WE GIVE HIM GLORY, PRAISE, HONOR, THANKS, AND MUCH RESPECT! ENJOY YOUR SUNDAY WORSHIP, BE JOYFUL AND GLAD IN HIS PRESENCE, BECAUSE THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!" (TNDL)
TNDL: REVELATION 21&22: THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH ARE PASSED AWAY, AND THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH HAVE REPLACED THE OLD HEAVEN AND THE EARTH! SINCE GOD, MOST HIGH, IS SPIRIT AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,THE LAMB, IS SPIRIT AS WELL, THIS IMPLIES THAT THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH ARE SPIRITS NOT MADE OF THE MATERIAL OR PHYSICAL SUBSTANCES. SPIRIT, IS SPIRIT, AND THE MATERIAL AND PHYSICAL ARE MATERIAL AND PHYSICAL, YESHUA EXPLAINED TO NICODEMUS. SO, THE CREATED KOSMIC UNIVERSE EXIST IN ITS FORM; HOWEVER, THE SPIRIT PART OF THE UNIVERSE GOES THROUGH A REBIRTH OF SPIRIT, BECAUSE THE OLD SPIRITS OF THE OLD HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE PASSED AWAY, AND THE NEW SPIRITS OF THE NEW HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE MADE NEW. IN EVERYTHING THAT IS SPIRIT OF THE OLD HEAVEN AND EARTH, ARE MADE NEW. ALSO, THE LAMB'S BRIDE IS SPIRIT, THE HOLY CITY, THE NEW JERUSALEM, IS SPIRIT. THE LAMB IS A LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT AND GOD, HIS ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER, IS SPIRIT AS WELL. THE RIVER OF LIFE, THAT CAME OUT OF THE FATHER, IS SPIRIT, AND THE TREES THAT BEAR TWELVE MANNER OF FRUITS ARE SPIRITS, AND THE LEAVES ARE SPIRIT AS WELL. THEREFORE, ALL THINGS AND PEOPLE ARE SPIRITS, SINCE THEY ARE AS THE LAMB, WITH HIS IMMORTAL, ETERNAL AND INCORRUPTIBLE BODY OF SPIRIT. GOD AND THE LAMB, ARE SPIRITS, AND THEY WHO ARE WITH THEM, ARE THE SAME AS THE LAMB. BOTH GOD, THE ETERNAL FATHER'S THRONE AND THAT OF THE LAMB, ARE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH THAT NOW HAS A NEW SPIRIT OF THE NEW CREATION. AND SO, GOD'S PEOPLE SHALL SEE HIS FACE. YESHUA SAID, NO MAN HAS SEEN THE FATHER AT ANY TIME; IT IS THE SON THAT HAS MADE HIM KNOWN TO HUMANKIND! PHILLIP, YESHUA'S DISCIPLE, ASKED HIM, SHOW US THE FATHER AND THAT WILL SUFFICE US. YESHUA ANSWERED AND SAID, HAVE I BEEN SO LONG WITH YOU, AND YOU DON’T KNOW ME? WHEN YOU SEE ME, YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER. I, AND THE FATHER, ARE ONE AND THE SAME. GOD IS A SPIRIT, YESHUA SAID, AND THEY WHO WORSHIP HIM, MUST WORSHIP HIM, IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, BECAUSE THE FATHER SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP HIM! ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER IS, WHEN THE NEW JERUSALEM COMES DOWN TO EARTH FROM HEAVEN, THEY, WHICH ARE WITH THE LAMB, ARE THE WIFE OF THE LAMB, AND ALL THEY WHO ARE IN THAT HOLY CITY, ARE SPIRIT PEOPLE LIKE YESHUA,THE SON OF MAN IS, THE LIVING SPIRIT. SO, ACCORDING TO REVELATION 21&22, WHICH SAID, BEHOLD THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, AND HE AND THE LAMB, SHALL REIGN WITH THEM ETERNALLY.” (TNDL)

REVELATION 19 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True and in righteousness he doth judge and make war (Rev.19: 11). His eyes were as a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written that no man knew, but he, himself (12). And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name was called, The WORD of GOD (13). And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen white and clean (14). And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations, and shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty GOD (15). And he had on his vesture a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (16). And I saw an Angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven: Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great GOD (17); that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great (18).
ISAIAH 63
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save (Isaiah 63:1). Wherefore, art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat (2)? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me; for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkle upon my garments and I will stain my raiment (3). For the day of vengeance is in my heart and the year of my redeemed is come.

TNDL: "THE STORY OF SAMUEL, THE SEER PROPHET OF THE LORD THE MOST HIGH! MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS (GENTILES) OF THE WORLD!" 1 Samuel 1 King James Version (KJV) 1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite: 2 And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the Lord, were there. 4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the Lord had shut up her womb. 6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up her womb. 7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons? 9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli marked her mouth. 13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. 14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. 15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord. 16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. 17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad. 19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the Lord remembered her. 20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord. 21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the Lord the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and there abide for ever. 23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the Lord establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him. 24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the Lord in Shiloh: and the child was young. 25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli. 26 And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord. 27 For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 28 Therefore also I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there. King James Version (KJV)

SO THEY WERE TOO LATE, SO THE BRIDEGROOM CAME AND LEFT THEM OUTSIDE."
The Parable of the Ten Virgins (section) by Phoebe Traquair, Mansfield Traquair Church, Edinburgh.
The Parable of the Ten Virgins, also known as the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins or the Parable of the ten bridesmaids,[1] is one of the well-known parables of Jesus. According to the Gospel of Matthew 25:1-13, the five virgins who are prepared for the bridegroom's arrival are rewarded, while the five who are not prepared are disowned. The parable has a clear eschatological theme: be prepared for the Day of Judgment.[2] It was one of the most popular parables in the Middle Ages, with enormous influence on Gothic art, sculpture and the architecture of German and French cathedrals.Contents

In the Parable of the Ten Virgins, Jesus tells a story about a party of virgins, perhaps bridesmaids [3] or torchbearers for a procession,[4] chosen to participate in a wedding. Each of the ten virgins is carrying a lamp or torch[4] as they await the coming of the bridegroom, which they expect at some time during the night. Five of the virgins are wise and have brought oil for their lamps. Five are foolish and have only brought their lamps.
At midnight, all the virgins hear the call to come out to meet the bridegroom. Realising their lamps have gone out, the foolish virgins ask the wise ones for oil, but they refuse, saying that there will certainly not (Greek ou mē)[5] be enough for them to share. While the foolish virgins are away trying to get more oil, the bridegroom arrives. The wise virgins then accompany him to the celebration. The others arrive too late and are excluded.
Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, "Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!" Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out." But the wise answered, saying, "What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves." While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us." But he answered, "Most certainly I tell you, I don't know you." Watch therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

ABRAHAM, BEING SPECIAL EARTHLY FATHER BY VIRTUE OF HIS ENDURING RIGHTEOUS FAITH IN HIS GOD MOST HIGH, AND LIKEWISE, DANIEL WHO DEMONSTRATED HIS FAITH IN ELYON ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN DANIEL, THROUGHOUT HIS BOOK. DANIEL WAS INDEED AN INSPIRATION TO ELYON'S PEOPLE AND THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH. BOTH ABRAHAM AND DANIEL SAW AND EXPERIENCED THE HIGHEST, WHO BLESSED THEM, DUE TO THEIR RIGHTEOUS FAITH AND TRUST IN THEIR GOD. WHEN EL-ELYON AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON ARE LEADING BY THE HAND, NO ONE CAN STOP YOU FROM DOING GOD'S WILL, BECAUSE YOU ARE PROTECTED BY THE MOST HIGH. READ PSALM 23, and 91."
