2. I. UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES
(THE RED BLOOD MOON)
- The RED BLOOD MOON
is a MARKER IN TIME
- This is the LAST RED
BLOOD MOON in this
millennium falling on the
FEASTS OF THE LORD
- WHAT TIME DO THESE
RED BLOOD MOONS
MARK?
3. 1. THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY
OF GOD
I SAMUEL 6:1-6
1 When the ark of the LORD had been in Philistine territory seven
months, 2 the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and
said, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we
should send it back to its place." 3 They answered, "If you return the
ark of the god of Israel, do not send it away empty, but by all means
send a guilt offering to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know
why his hand has not been lifted from you." 4 The Philistines asked,
"What guilt offering should we send to him?" They replied, "Five gold
tumors and five gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine
rulers, because the same plague has struck both you and your
rulers.5 Make models of the tumors and of the rats that are destroying
the country, and pay honor to Israel's god. Perhaps he will lift his hand
from you and your gods and your land. 6 Why do you harden your
hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? WHEN HE TREATED
THEM HARSHLY, DID THEY NOT SEND THE ISRAELITES OUT
SO THEY COULD GO ON THEIR WAY?
4. This season will see both:
1. The SEVERITY of God
2. the GOODNESS of God ON A GRAND SCALE
(When Israel left Egypt, God was SEVERE on the Egyptians
but GOOD to His people)
Examples re THE BLOOD MOONS:
1. First red blood moon – severity of God on Jesus Christ
the SIN-BEARER; but GOODNESS for the sinners
because their salvation has now come
2. 1948 red Blood Moon – severity on the nations that
attacked Israel; goodness to Israel and the Church
3. 1967 Red Blood Moon – the same
5. MAJOR CHANGES ON ISRAEL AND
THE CHURCH via red blood moons:
1. 1948 – REBIRTH OF ISRAEL
-- BIRTH OF MASS EVANGELISM IN THE CHURCH
WHERE THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS ATTEND CRUSADES
AND RALLY
-- Billy Graham (first crusade 1948), oral Roberts, Morris
Cerullo etc.
-- season of MASS EVANGELISM
6. Revivals along with great
persecutions:
THIS WAS ALSO THE GREATEST PERSECUTION IN
THE IRON CURTAIN (Communist world); estimated
12 million Christians killed (1948-1980’s); this
SEVERITY DID NOT COME FROM GOD BUT WAS
ALLOWED BY GOD
7. Washington Post: Persecution against Christians
increases in many parts of the world
September 26, 2013 —
Much of the focus on the
tensions in the Middle
East, Africa and Asia has
been on which political
group will ultimately gain
power in the various
struggles. However, the
bombing of a church in
Pakistan and the targeting
of non-Muslims in the
terrorist attack in Nairobi,
Kenya highlight the
vulnerability of religious
minorities in many parts
of the world.
Sundays’ attack on All
Saint’s Church, an
Anglican church built in
1883 is the deadliest attack
on Christians in Pakistan’s
history, killing 81 and
injuring 140 church goers,
according to the
Associated Press.
9. 1967 – RECAPTURE OF JERUSALEM
-- birth of the CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT;
THE JESUS MOVEMENT, era of restoration of the
GIFTS of the HOLY SPIRIT
-- the enemy countered this with the sex, drug,
and rock and roll revolution; ALSO, THIS STARTED
THE ISLAMIC PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS;
again, this severity did not come from God, but was
allowed by God
10. THE 2014-2015 TETRAD
WHAT WILL THE 2014-2015 TERAD BRING?
1. ISRAEL – Temple?
2. THE CHURCH?
3. The WORLD?
4. The Philippines?
WHAT GOODNESS WILL THE SEASON BRING?
WHAT SEVERITY WILL THIS SEASON BRING?
11. THEIR PROGNOSIS:
THE TIMES OF SEVERITY:
1. Increased BIRTH PAINS
2. Beginning of
TRIBULATION PERIOD
3. Increased in MORAL
EVIL
4. Increase SPIRITUAL
AND DEMONIC
ACTIVITIES
5. Increased CALAMITIES
6. Economic collapse, social
disorder
7. FAMINES PESTILENCES
DISEASES
THE TIMES OF GOODNESS:
1. PROPHETIC
OUTPOURING (Joel 2)
2. Increased INTERVENING
ACTS OF GOD for His
people
3. Emergence of BRIDAL
CHURCH
4. Increased ANGELIC and
SPIRIT ACTIVITIES
5. “Goshens”, “arks”
6. Provision for the church
7. GREAT HARVEST
12. 2. It will also be a “day of vengeance,
year of REDEEMING…” (Isa. 63:1-4)
“1 Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with his
garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in
splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his
strength? "It is I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to
save." 2 Why are your garments red, like those of one
treading the winepress? 3 "I have trodden the
winepress alone; from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled them in my anger and trod them down in
my wrath; their blood spattered my garments, and I
stained all my clothing. 4 For the day of vengeance was
in my heart, and the year of my redemption (YEAR OF
MY REDEEMED – KJV) has come.”
13. Isaiah 63:6-9
6 I trampled the nations in my anger;
in my wrath I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground.”
7 I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD,
the deeds for which he is to be praised,
according to all the LORD has done for us—
yes, the many good things
he has done for Israel, (NOTE: WE ARE INGRAFTED INTO
ISRAEL)
according to his compassion and many kindnesses.
8 He said, “Surely they are my people,
children who will be true to me”;
and so he became their Savior.
9 IN ALL THEIR DISTRESS HE TOO WAS DISTRESSED,
AND THE ANGEL OF HIS PRESENCE SAVED THEM.[A]
IN HIS LOVE AND MERCY HE REDEEMED THEM;
HE LIFTED THEM UP AND CARRIED THEM
ALL THE DAYS OF OLD.
15. A CLEAR PROMISE
1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such
as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted (TESTED) above that ye are
able; but will with the temptation also make a way to
escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (KJV)
13 No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is
common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not
let you be tempted (TRIED)[b] beyond what you can
bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide
a way out so that you can endure it. (KJV)
16. VERY IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND!
The DAY OF VENGEANCE of our God (terms that
refers to the SECOND COMING) IS ALSO AT THE
SAME TIME the
YEAR OF REDEEMING (OR REDEMPTION)
17. The so-called NOAH PRINCIPLE will
be applied in these last days
The SAME
WATERS that
judged the
earth were the
SAME
WATERS that
lifted Noah;
PROVIDED
NOAH BUILT
THE ARK.
We must build
our “arks” in
these last days.
18. 3. Season of “time and chance”
happening to us (Ecclesiastes 9)
11” I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is
not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither
yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of
understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; BUT
TIME AND CHANCE HAPPENETH TO THEM ALL.
12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes
that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are
caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in
an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.”
19. TIME
In the ancient Hebrew words that are used to described
distance and direction are also used to describe time.
In the ancient Hebrew mind the past is in front of you
while the future is behind you, the opposite way we think
of the past and future. The Hebrew word olam means in
the far distance. When looking off in the far distance it is
difficult to make out any details and what is beyond that
horizon cannot be seen. This concept is the olam. The word
olam is also used for time for the distant past or the distant
future as a time that is difficult to know or perceive.
So “TIME HAPPENING TO YOU” MEANS THAT WHICH
IS DISTANT OR FAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT NEAR, TO
HERE AND NOW
20. Hebrew words for “time”
The Hebrew word pronounced tekh-il-law, which
means to begin
the Hebrew word pronounced mow-ad-dawh, which
means appointment or a decided time
the Hebrew word pronounced id-dawn, which
means an appointed length of time
the Hebrew word pronounced zem-mawn, which
means a set length of duration
SO “TIME HAPPENETH TO THEM ALL” means
WHAT WAS APPOINTED, SET, AS PROMISED BY
THE LORD, WILL NOW COME TO PASS…
21. “CHANCE”
To the English reader, “chance” means something
along the following (definitions taken
from www.dictionary.com):
the absence of any cause of events that can be
predicted, understood, or controlled.
luck or fortune.
a possibility or probability of anything happening.
Again, this idea is completely foreign to the Bible with
the exception of a few negative comments about pagan
belief and philosophy
22. THE HEBREW WORD “CHANCE”
The Hebrew word translated as “chance” is PEGA and
occurs only one other time in the Bible in 1 Kings 5:4.
Please notice the context of this passage.
“But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every
side, and there is no adversary or disaster (pega).” (NIV)
In the only other Biblical occurrence of pega, Solomon is
clearly declaring that no disaster or life event has over
taken him because God is in control. If the
word pega truly meant the same thing as chance in the
typical English definition of the word, then Solomon is
clearly declaring that there is no such thing as chance.
Solomon didn’t believe that it was the luck of the draw that
saved him from disaster, it was God.
23. WHAT IT MEANS FOR US:
Solomon, the author of Ecclesiastes, has already firmly
established that he believes in God’s guiding hand.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. (3:14)
Then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the
work that is done under the sun. (8:17)
Solomon tells US: "... the righteous and the wise and their
works are in the hand of God" (Eccl. 9:1). David understood,
too, that he was in God's hands. He wrote, in Psalm 31:15: "My
times are in Your hand." He knew that he, as well as all true
Christians, are always, constantly and completely, under God's
observation, His protection and in His loving care (compare,
Psalm 4:7-8; 9:9-10; 17:8; 23:1-6; 33:18-19; 34: 7, 15, 19-20, etc. etc.).
24. HEBREW MIND SET: times are
determined by GOD, never by
chance!
"The lot is cast into the lap; But
the whole disposing thereof is
of Yahweh“ PROVERBS 16:33
25. GOD HAS ALREADY SET THE TIMES
OF BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS:
IT IS IN HIS CALENDAR AND FEASTS:
Leviticus 25:1, 18-22
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into
the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to the
LORD. … … …
18 'So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform
them; and you will dwell in the land in safety.
19 'Then the land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill, and dwell
there in safety.
20 'And if you say, "What shall we eat in the seventh year, since we shall
not sow nor gather in our produce?“
21 'Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it will
bring forth produce enough for three years.
22 'And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old produce until the
ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat of the old harvest.
26. BASIC RE-ADJUSTMENT TO OUR
TIME-KEEPING:
1. DAY ADJUSTMENT
-- The LORD’s 24-HOUR DAY STARTS WITH THE EVENING (sunset
to sunset)
-- remember: the Lord’s calendar is LUNAR
-- your prayer for the DAY must have already began at the SUNSET, so the
glory of God will meet you at SUNRISE
27. Time re-adjustment:
2. THE WEEK ADJUSTMENT:
The LORD’S REST DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY – the Seventh Day
(EXODUS 20:10-11)
STARTS FRIDAY EVENING BY OUR TIME, ENDS SATURDAY EVENING:
-- rest
-- worship, meditation
-- most difficult part for us: EVERYBODY NO WORK, even animals
28. 3. THE MONTH AND YEAR ADJUSTMENT
BASED OF THE FEASTS OF THE LORD
29. Why DID THE LORD institute the annual
feasts and why are they permanent?
1. THE LORD wants the PEOPLE OF GOD TO
REGULARLY CHECK THEIR WALK WITH THE
LORD
2. THE FEASTS PROVIDED AN ANNUAL
BAROMETER
3. THERE ARE BLESSINGS (AND JUDGMENTS)
DISTRIBUTED EVERY YEAR BEASED ON THE
FEASTS – so the FEASTS became the “bases” for the
release of either judgments or blessings on the
people of God
30. HOW APPLIED TO US TODAY?
1. FEAST OF PASSOVER (Pesach) – the 14th
day of the 1st Month (Nisan – March/April)
Time to RE-APPRECIATE WHAT JESUS HAS DONE
(the sacrificial lamb), and to remember ALL OF
GOD’S REDEMPTIVE ACTS
(Israel would recount not only the red Sea crossing but
the plagues sent on Egypt, the manna and water in
the wilderness, the pillar of fire and cloud, etc…)
EVERY PASSOVER, WE MUST DO IT IN CHURCH…
31. 2. The Feast of the Unleavened
Bread (ChagHamotzi) (Nisan-April)
-- celebrates the PURITY OF JESUS (no leaven, no sin)
-- Jews celebrate this BY SEARCHING THEIR HOUSES
EVERY YEAR at this time for ANY TRACE OF LEAVEN
and they bring it out
APPLIED TODAY:
At least ONCE EVERY YEAR WE HAVE TIME TO
CHECK ANYTHING IN OUR HOUSE THAT IS
WICKED, we get rid of them, burn them, destroy
them, throw them away…
32. 3. Feast of Firstfruits (Reshit Katzir)
(Nisan-April)
-- celebrates God’s BLESSINGS OF HARVEST
-- also celebrates the RESURRECTION of Jesus as
FIRSTFRUIT FROM AMONG THE DEAD
APPLIED TODAY (ESPECIALLY in NEGROS)
-- March-April is MIDDLE OF HARVEST SEASON
(sometimes up to July, but starting September the year
before…)
-- This is the time to bring ANNUAL FIRSTFRUIT
OFFERINGS to the Lord; we give GIFTS TO THE LORD
33. 4. Pentecost (Shavout)
(Sivan- May/June) – longest feast
-- time when the LAW (WORD) was given to Moses
-- also the time WHEN THE SPIRIT WAS POURED OUT ON
PENTECOST
APPLIED TODAY:
-- this is a GOOD TIME TO SEEK A FRESH WORD FROM
THE LORD
-- SEEK FRESH SPIRIT OUTPOURING, RE-CHARGING,
DIRECTION
-- longest feast, ends on SEPTEMBER (Feast of Trumpets)
34. 5. Trumpets (Yom Teruah-Rosh
Hashanah); (Tishri-September)
TRUMPETS is A TIME OF:
-- SOLEMN ASSEMBLY, repent for the sins of the land
-- Prepare for WAR
-- seek God’s favor
-- prepare for a COMING KING
-- prepare for COMING GROOM
APPLIED TODAY:
-- it is a good time for the church to RE-EXAMINE ITS
BRIDAL POSITION AND ENDTIME PREPAREDNESS
-- RE GROUP ITS FORCES, ARMY
35. 6. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
(Tishri-September)
is the holiest day of the year for the Jewish people.[1] Its
central themes are atonement and repentance. Jewish
people traditionally observe this holy day with an
approximate 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer,
often spending most of the day in synagogue services.
A TIME TO “AFFLICT ONES SELF”
For reflection, fasting, alignment with God
WHAF IF THE CHURCH HAS ANNUAL ONE DAY FAST
WHERE EVERYONE RE-ALIGNS HIMSELF WITH GOD
AND THE WHOLE CHURCH LISTENS TO GOD?
36. 7. Feast of Tabernacle (Sukkot)
(Tishri – September/October)
Looks forward to God dwelling with redeemed man forever
APPLIED TODAY:
Review the promises of the SECOND COMING of Jesus with
a preparedness for His coming and alignment to His end-
time program
WHAT IF THE CHURCH TODAY HAS AN ANNUAL END-
TIMES UPDATE AND ASSESMENT OF ALL PROPHETIC
DEVELOPMENTS WITH A VIEW TO PREPARE FOR THE
COMING OF THE LORD?
37. IMPORTANT: THREE MAJOR FEASTS
HAVE ATTACHED BLESSINGS!
Important to take note that of the Seven Feasts of the
Lord… There are THREE MAJOR “HARVEST”
FEASTS “where God has promised blessing” and they
are:
1. “Passover” or “Feast of Unleavened Bread.”
2. “Shavuot / Feast of Weeks” – which is also
called “Pentecost,” a Greek translation of the Hebrew
words meaning, the “fiftieth day” when the Festival was
celebrated. (Leviticus 23:15, 16)
3. “The Feast of Tabernacles.”
44. BIBLICAL CONCEPTS OF GLORY:
GLORY CAN SANCTIFY AND FILL A PLACE:
Ex 29:43 "And there I will meet with the children of
Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My
glory.
Ex 40:34 ¶ Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of
meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle.
Ex 40:35 And Moses was not able to enter the
tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above
it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
45. The Glory can
APPEAR
Le 9:6 Then Moses said, "This is the thing which the
LORD commanded you to do, and the glory of the
LORD will appear to you.“
Nu 14:22 "because all these men who have seen My
glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the
wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten
times, and have not heeded My voice,
GOD’S GLORY WILL APPEAR UPON
YOU — GOLD DUST MIRACLES
MARCH 19, 2010 ADMIN 17
COMMENTS
46. God is given the glory when we
confess sin:
Jos 7:19 Now Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I beg you,
give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make
confession to Him, and tell me now what you have
done; do not hide it from me."
47. We can go the right way but
without glory
Jg 4:9 So she said, "I will surely go with you;
nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the
journey you are taking, for the LORD will sell Sisera
into the hand of a woman." Then Deborah arose and
went with Barak to Kedesh.
48. GLORY CHANGES STATUS IN LIFE
1Sa 2:8 He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the
beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes
And make them inherit the throne of glory. "For the
pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He has set the
world upon them
49. PRAISE DECLARES
THE GLORY OF GOD
1Ch 16:10 Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those
rejoice who seek the LORD!
1Ch 16:24 Declare His glory among the nations, His
wonders among all peoples.
1Ch 16:28 Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Give to the LORD glory and strength.
1Ch 16:29 Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring
an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD
in the beauty of holiness!
1Ch 29:11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and
the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in
heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O
LORD, And You are exalted as head over all.
50. GLORY PROTECTS
Ps 3:3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory
and the One who lifts up my head.
51. Man has a glory that is BEST
OFFERED TO THE LORD
Ps 8:5 For You have made him a little lower than the
angels, And You have crowned him with glory and
honor.
Ps 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory
rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
Ps 30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to
You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give
thanks to You forever.
Ps 57:8 Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will
awaken the dawn.
52. GLORY PROTECTS AND PROVIDES
Ps 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The
LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He
withhold From those who walk uprightly.
53. Glory can ATTACH TO A PLACE:
Ps 85:9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear
Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
Isa 60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered
together to you, The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to
you; They shall ascend with acceptance on My altar,
And I will glorify the house of My glory.
Isa 60:13 "The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, The
cypress, the pine, and the box tree together, To
beautify the place of My sanctuary; And I will make
the place of My feet glorious.
54. It can therefore be TRANSFERRED
TO ANOTHER PLACE
Mic 1:15 I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of
Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.
55. The glory of God is a WALL OF FIRE
OF PROTECTION
Zec 2:5 'For I,' says the LORD, 'will be a WALL OF
FIRE all around her, and I will be the glory in her
midst.'"
Zec 2:8 For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me
after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he
who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
56. GLORY is brought down by PRAISE
AND WISDOM
Ps 149:5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing
aloud on their beds.
Pr 3:35 The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be
the legacy of fools.
Pr 4:9 She will place on your head an ornament of
grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you."
Pr 16:31 ¶ The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If
it is found in the way of righteousness.
57. NOT TO BE EASILY OFFENDED
FACILITATES GLORY
Pr 19:11 ¶ The discretion of a man makes him slow to
anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.
Pr 25:27 ¶ It is not good to eat much honey; So to seek
one's own glory is not glory.
58. The judgments of the Lord are His
glory
Isa 2:19 They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And
into the caves of the earth, From the terror of the
LORD And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to
shake the earth mightily.
Isa 2:21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, And into the
crags of the rugged rocks, From the terror of the LORD
And the glory of His majesty, When He arises to shake
the earth mightily.
Isa 3:8 For Jerusalem stumbled, And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings Are against the
LORD, To provoke the eyes of His glory.
59. Glory is associated with COVERING
Isa 4:5 then the LORD will create above every dwelling
place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a
cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming
fire by night. FOR OVER ALL THE GLORY THERE
WILL BE A COVERING.
60. Hell and all those going to it have
their own “glory”
Isa 5:14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its
mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and
their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.
Isa 8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them The
waters of the River, strong and mighty-The king of Assyria and
all his glory; He will go up over all his channels And go over all
his banks.
Isa 10:3 What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the
desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for
help? And where will you leave your glory?
Isa 10:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has
performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that
He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the
king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks."
61. Earthly glory will be judged
Isa 13:19 ¶ And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The
beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, Will be as when God
overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Isa 14:18 "All the kings of the nations, All of them,
sleep in glory, Everyone in his own house;
62. The GLORY FLUCTUATES,
depending on our walk and
obedience
Isa 17:4 "In that day it shall come to pass That the glory
of Jacob will wane, And the fatness of his flesh grow
lean.
63. Glory can be subject to TIME LIMIT
Isa 21:16 For thus the Lord has said to me: "Within a
year, according to the year of a hired man, all the glory
of Kedar will fail;
Isa 16:14 But now the LORD has spoken, saying,
"Within three years, as the years of a hired man, the
glory of Moab will be despised with all that great
multitude, and the remnant will be very small and
feeble."
64. GLORY IS TRANSFERRABLE
(Isaiah 22)
15 This is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says:
“Go, say to this steward,
to Shebna the palace administrator:
16 What are you doing here and who gave you permission
to cut out a grave for yourself here,
hewing your grave on the height
and chiseling your resting place in the rock?
17 “Beware, the LORD is about to take firm hold of you
and hurl you away, you mighty man.
18 He will roll you up tightly like a ball
and throw you into a large country.
There you will die
and there the chariots you were so proud of
will become a disgrace to your master’s house.
19 I will depose you from your office,
and you will be ousted from your position.
65. Transferrable glory:
20 “In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim son of
Hilkiah. 21 I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your
sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be
a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people of
Judah. 22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of
David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one
can open. 23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place; he will
become a seat[a] of honor for the house of his father. 24 All the
glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and
offshoots—all its lesser vessels, from the bowls to all the jars.
25 “In that day,” declares the LORD Almighty, “the peg driven into
the firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and will fall,
and the load hanging on it will be cut down.” The LORD has
spoken.
66. The Lord does not want the same
homage or glory given to Him to be
given to carved images
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD, that is My name; And My
glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved
images.
67. The GLORY OF THE LORD BRINGS
HEALING
Isa 58:8 ¶ Then your light shall break forth like the
morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And
your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of
the LORD shall be your rear guard.
Isa 60:1 ¶ Arise, shine; For your light has come! And
the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
Isa 60:2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will
arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.
68. Our testimony of RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND PROPSERITY is GLORY
Isa 61:6 But you shall be named the priests of the
LORD, They shall call you the servants of our God. You
shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory
you shall boast.
Isa 62:2 The Gentiles shall see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new
name, Which the mouth of the LORD will name.
69. Blessing Jerusalem enables to
share the abundance of her glory
Isa 66:11 That you may feed and be satisfied With the
consolation of her bosom (JERUSALEM), That you
may drink deeply and be delighted With the
abundance of her glory."
70. GLORY is in KNOWING THE LORD!
Jer 9:23 ¶ Thus says the LORD: "Let not the wise man
glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in
his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
Jer 9:24 But let him who glories glory in this, That he
understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD,
exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and
righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight," says
the LORD.
71. There is time TO GIVE glory
Jer 13:16 Give glory to the LORD your God Before He
causes darkness, And before your feet stumble On the
dark mountains, And while you are looking for light,
He turns it into the shadow of death And makes it
dense darkness.
72. The glory of God can be TANGIBLY
MANIFESTED and SEEN:
Eze 1:28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on
a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all
around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of
the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my
face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.
Eze 3:23 So I arose and went out into the plain, and
behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the
glory which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my
face.
Eze 8:4 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was
there, like the vision that I saw in the plain.
73. You can SEE THE MOVEMENT OF
THE GLORY OF THE LORD
Eze 43:2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came
from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of
many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.
Eze 43:4 And the glory of the LORD came into the temple
by way of the gate which faces toward the east.
Eze 43:5 The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the
inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the
temple.
Eze 44:4 ¶ Also He brought me by way of the north gate to
the front of the temple; so I looked, and behold, the glory
of the LORD filled the house of the LORD; and I fell on my
face.
74. The glory can be CHANGED
Ho 4:7 "The more they increased, The more they
sinned against Me; I will change their glory into
shame.
Mal 2:2 If you will not hear, And if you will not take it
to heart, To give glory to My name," Says the LORD of
hosts, "I will send a curse upon you, And I will curse
your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already,
Because you do not take it to heart.
75. WE CAN, MUST, SEEK FOR GOD’S
GLORY!!
Ro 2:7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance
in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;
Ro 2:10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who
works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the
Greek.
76. We glory in TRIBULATIONS!
Ro 5:3 And not only that, but we also glory in
tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces
perseverance;
77. WE ARE SET UP, DESTINED,
DESIGNED FOR GLORY!!
Ro 9:23 and that He might make known the riches of
His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had
prepared beforehand for glory,
1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the
ages for our glory,
2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in
a mirror the glory of the Lord, ARE BEING
TRANSFORMED INTO THE SAME IMAGE FROM
GLORY TO GLORY, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
78. Glory can be UNDERSTOOD and
STRENGTHENED
Eph 1:18 the eyes of your understanding being
enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of
His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His
inheritance in the saints,
Eph 3:13 Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at
my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Eph 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the
riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might
through His Spirit in the inner man,
79. We can have GLORY NOW
Heb 13:21 make you complete in every good work to do
His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His
sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever
and ever. Amen.
80. Suffering for Jesus is GLORY
1Pe 4:13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's
sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be
glad with exceeding joy.
1Pe 4:14 If you are REPROACHED FOR THE NAME OF
CHRIST, BLESSED ARE YOU, FOR THE SPIRIT OF
GLORY AND OF GOD RESTS UPON YOU. On their part
He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
1Pe 5:10 ¶ But may the God of all grace, who called us to
His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have
suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and
settle you.
81. Glory SUPPLIES
Php 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need
according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus
82. To GOD ALONE BELONG ALL GLORY
Ro 16:27 to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus
Christ forever. Amen.
1Co 1:29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
1Co 1:31 that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him
glory in the LORD."
84. Romans 8:29-30
29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son, that He might
be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also
called; whom He called, these He also justified; and
whom He justified, these He also glorified.
CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON –
CHRISTLIKENESS. This is the ONLY
PATHWAY to GLORY.
85. Ephesians 1:3-6
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ,
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the
world, that WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT
BLAME before Him in love,
5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ
to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 to the PRAISE OF THE GLORY of His grace, by which
He has made us accepted in the Beloved.
HOLINESS AND BLAMELESSNESS IN
CHRIST AND BY CHRIST IS THE
PATHWAY TO GLORY.
86. 2 THESS. 2:13-14
13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you,
brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the
beginning chose you FOR SALVATION THROUGH
SANCTIFICATION by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
14 to which He called you by our gospel, FOR THE
OBTAINING OF THE GLORY OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST.
SANCTIFICATION IS THE ONLY WAY TO
OBTAIN THE GLORY OF CHRIST JESUS.
87. I COR. 1:21-23
11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide
open.
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what
fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion
has light with darkness?
15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer
with an unbeliever?
16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are
the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And
walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people."
17 Therefore "COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE
SEPARATE, SAYS THE LORD. DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS
UNCLEAN, AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU."
18 "I WILL BE A FATHER TO YOU, AND YOU SHALL BE MY SONS
AND DAUGHTERS, Says the LORD Almighty.“
UNYOKING WITH UNBELIEVERS PROTECTS GLORY
88. The BELOVED
SON (1st time)
Mt 3:16 When He had
been baptized, Jesus
came up immediately
from the water; and
behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw
the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting
upon Him.
17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying,
"This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased."
89. The BELOVED
SON (2nd time)
Mt 17:1 Now after six days Jesus
took Peter, James, and John his
brother, led them up on a high
mountain by themselves;
2 and He was transfigured before
them. His face shone like the sun, and
His clothes became as white as the
light.
3 And behold, Moses and Elijah
appeared to them, talking with Him.
4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus,
"Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles:
one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and
suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON,
IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. HEAR HIM!"
90. THE GLORY IS WHEN WE BECOME
THE BELOVED SONS AND
DAUGHTERS IN WHOM THE
FATHER IS WELL PLEASED…
We are called to be CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF
THE SON (Romans 8:29)
1Jo 4:9 In this the love of God was manifested toward
us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the
world, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM. (not
“for” Him.)
91. THAT GLORY IS BEING COMPLETE
IN CHRIST AND IT IS FOR NOW!
Heb 13:20 “NOW may the God of peace who brought
up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd
of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting
covenant,
21 make you COMPLETE in EVERY GOOD WORK to
do His will, working in you what is WELL PLEASING
in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory
forever and ever. Amen.”
WE MUST ASK AND STRIVE FOR COMPLETENESS
AND PERFECTION IN CHRIST JESUS!!
93. ANSWER:
AIM FOR PERFECTION!!!!
Ge 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a
just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah
walked with God. {perfect: or, upright}
Ge 17:1 ¶ And when Abram was ninety years old and
nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto
him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be
thou perfect. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
94. HOW??? Begin with the heart:
1Ki 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD
our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his
commandments, as at this day.
1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his
wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart
was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart
of David his father.
2Ki 20:3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I
have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart,
and have done that which is good in thy sight. And
Hezekiah wept sore. {sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
95. A PERFECT HEART is a HEART THAT
WILL FOLLOW THE KING
1Ch 12:38 All these men of war, that could keep rank,
came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David
king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were
of one heart to make David king.
1Ch 29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered
willingly, because with perfect heart they offered
willingly to the LORD: and David the king also
rejoiced with great joy.
96. THE LORD PROTECTS WITH HIS
GLORY THOSE WITH PERFECT
HEART
2Ch 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro
throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong
in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect
toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly:
therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars
97. WE CAN DO THINGS RIGHT, BUT
NOT WITH A PERFECT HEART!!
2Ch 19:9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye
do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a
perfect heart.
2Ch 25:2 And he did that which was right in the
sight of the LORD, BUT NOT WITH A PERFECT
HEART. (This is the sad story of Amaziah, read
him in 2 CHRON. 25)
98. JOB THE PERFECT MAN
Job 1:1 ¶ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name
was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one
that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in
the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth
God, and escheweth evil?
Job 2:3 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou
considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in
the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth
God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his
integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to
destroy him without cause.
99. THE PR0MISE FOR THE PERFECT
MAN:
Ps 37:37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the
upright: for the end of that man is peace.
Pr 2:21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the
perfect shall remain in it.
BUT NO MAN IS PERFECT!!!
God’s answer:
Ps 138:8 The LORD will perfect that which
concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for
ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
100. JESUS’ CLEAR COMMAND:
Mt 5:48 Be ye therefore
perfect, even as your
Father which is in heaven
is perfect.
Lu 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but
every one that is perfect SHALL BE AS HIS
MASTER.
101. WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING is
given to the perfect
1Co 2:6 ¶ Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that
are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of
the princes of this world, that come to nought:
1Co 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding:
howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding
be men. {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}
102. Our goal, our objective is:
2Co 13:11 ¶ Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of
good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the
God of love and peace shall be with you.
Ga 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit,
are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and
of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect
man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of
Christ: {in: or, into} {stature: or, age}
103. ARE WE ALREADY PERFECT?
Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either
were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may
apprehend that for which also I am apprehended
of Christ Jesus.
Php 3:15 ¶ LET US THEREFORE, AS MANY AS BE
PERFECT, BE THUS MINDED: and if in any thing ye
be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto
you.
Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and
teaching every man in all wisdom; THAT WE MAY
PRESENT EVERY MAN PERFECT IN CHRIST
JESUS:
104. PAUL’S GREAT CONCERN:
1Th 3:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we
might see your face, and might perfect that which is
lacking in your faith?
2Ti 3:17 That the MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT,
THOROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD
WORKS.
105. WHAT IS ONE GOOD TOOL THAT
GOD USES TO PERFECT US?
Heb 2:10 ¶ For it became him, for whom are all things,
and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons
unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation
perfect THROUGH SUFFERINGS.
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect (after suffering many
things), he became the author of eternal salvation
unto all them that obey him;
106. THE GREAT BENEDICTION
Heb 13:20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our
Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 MAKE YOU PERFECT in every good work to do his
will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his
sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever
and ever. Amen.
1Pe 5:10 ¶ But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto
his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered
a while, MAKE YOU PERFECT, STABLISH,
STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU
107. HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE
PERFECTION?
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles; WHICH IS CHRIST IN
YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY:
Romans 8:
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal
bodies THROUGH HIS SPIRIT WHO DWELLS IN YOU.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors--not to the flesh, to live according
to the flesh.
13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Php 2:13 FOR IT IS GOD WHICH WORKETH IN YOU BOTH TO
WILL AND TO DO OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE.
108. WHY, WHY, WHY ARE WE
EXHORTED TO BE PERFECT?
PERFECT – is the HEBREW WORD Shalem, from the
root word SHALAM, meaning:
complete, not lacking in anything, undamaged or
uninjured, whole, finished (in contrast to
unfinished), not violated,
IS IT A WONDER WHY IT SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR
TO “SHALOM”?
PEACE – whole, satisfied, not lacking in anything,
complete, provided for, contented, protected,
safe, secure
109. IF WE WALK IN THE GLORY OF GOD
in these last days, HOW WILL IT
MANIFEST?
1. PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS:
- Shoes and clothes that grew with the Jews
- Manna from heaven, water from the rock
- Teleportation (Philip)
- Healings (apostles, prophets)
- Supernatural protections (prophets)
- Supernatural ability to bear suffering and death
(martyrs)
110. Manifestations of Glory:
2. SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS:
- Powerful testimony of one’s life
- Supernatural knowledge, wisdom, and understanding
- Powerful answers to prayer
- Experiences with the spirit realm (John, Paul)
- Powerful messages that bring conviction
- Attraction of the lost to Christ (thousands added to their
numbers daily, in Church in Jerusalem)
- Signs, wonders, miracles
- Cooperation, working, conversation with angels
111. AT THE END OF THE DAY…
IT IS NOT THE GIFTS OR ANOINTINGS THAT REALLY
MATTER.
IT IS THE HEART THAT IS PERFECT TOWARDS GOD.
IT IS BEING CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON.
IT IS BEING LIKE JESUS.
IT IS BEING MADE PERFECT IN HIM
112. JUST LIKE JESUS!
“This is my beloved son/daughter, in whom I am
well pleased!”
Baptized unto obedience,
TRANSFORMED into
GLORY!
