Matthew 24:14 tells us the gospel, meaning message or knowledge of the Kingdom, must be preached to all the world, to all the nations and then the end will come. In other words, this work must be completed before God will bring restoration. Isaiah prophesied this as well 700 years before Jesus!
Isaiah 11:9
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy (no more sickness, pain, war, all will be in sync) in all My holy mountain (Mt Sion, the spiritual mountain of Hebrews 12:18), for (here is how this comes about) the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
You see, Satan is well aware whatever people are taught is the data they will base their ideas on, develop mindsets from and form perspectives that guide their lives. He has therefore
aggressively promoted his knowledge to shape a people that will best benefit his kingdom. His wisdom and thinking has been showcased in beautiful buildings, as in the world's schools and colleges. Edifices he has conscientiously equipped with staff well trained in his worldly knowledge are expensively available. His professors and teachers are ones that appear successful, ambitious and authoritative, ones he has filled with
a top dog attitude making them seemingly strong ones you could trust and believe in!
In many of
the world's churches he has also placed leadership well trained and educated in his knowledge resulting in the false doctrines and perverted messages. Leaders that will quench their congregation's thirst for truth with the black waters of his twisted wisdom. Unfortunately these polluted waters have found their way into the world's sea of humanity as well and are widely accepted in all areas of life. Thanks to today's technology his knowledge has been made available on every inch of the earth! Satan's plan has therefore worked remarkably well and is almost unstoppable except …
God has loosed His fountain from Sion! It is pouring forth truth that will dilute and finally wash out, eradicate the lies Satan's false doctrines are based on and shine light on the warped knowledge the intellect of man was birthed from. The light that shines from God's fountain not only exposes Satan's lies, but the
resulting sin and corresponding curses that have been destroying mankind's lives for centuries. You see, truth will uncover Satan's intentions and expose his evil plans that he has been shaping man's lifestyle from resulting in today's society! The anointing on the Lord's knowledge on the other hand will open spiritually blind eyes that previously refused to see the things of God. The
eighth day knowledge, fresh manna will unstop deaf ears that didn't want to hear about God's end time plans before. As the waves of truth rush over humanity the crooked ways begin to straighten for them. Its strong, beautiful light illuminates a new path that makes sense to the spirit of man ushering them onto the narrow path leading towards
God's victory! You can see why the enemy tries with all he has to stop these living waters! The fact is, it can't be done!
It is only our God that can actually stop waters. For instance, when He was good and ready to deliver His people out of Egypt He simply stopped up the Red Sea so Israel could pass over on dry ground! Now, as we have explained many times in previous blasts, the Bible is very symbolic in nature. Why? So only those that
really hunger and thirst for His truth, His knowledge will understand or even care to understand, thus separating them from those that lack interest and conviction. This circumcises them from the lukewarm and uncaring. With all this in mind, let us look with spiritual insight at why Satan will not be able to stop the living waters of God, but the Lord can stop his quite easily as we study the Red Sea crossing.
Egypt, the largest ancient civilization, is symbolic of the world. The ruler over the land at that time was pharaoh symbolic of Satan. The
color red represents Adam as we see in the Strongs Concordance number 122. The word sea represents a body of or a sea of people, like sea of humanity. So, in other words, the Red Sea is symbolic of the Adamic body of humanity filled with the knowledge of the world with Satan as their ruler. So will Satan win? No! Never! Our God can simply stop up the Devil's waters, hold them back so God's people can walk on dry land and not even get the soles of their feet wet by Satan's polluted water!
Another symbolic example, remember when God held the water of the river Jordan back for both the Ark of the Covenant and all the people to pass over? Again not so much as a toe touched the Devil's stream that descended into the Dead Sea by the way. Is that not spiritually interesting? There is so much hidden truth in these passages of scripture! For now however, let us just see and be content that we as God's people today do not have to be tainted by the black stream, the evil and deadly waters of Satan Adam and Eve unfortunately chose for us.
Before we leave the Jordan, I would like to draw your attention to the twelve stones the people were instructed to bring from the river and place on the other side. The stones were to stand as a memorial for future generations of Israel to prove what God had done and to stand as a symbolic foreshadow of things to take place. Now, if you are
baptized into Christ then you are Israel, you are Abraham's seed who was a Hebrew and you are therefore entitled to see the significance of the stones. Side Note: The word Hebrew means cross over! The number twelve is the number of the tribes of Israel, also of the twelve heads of tribes, His leadership. But, it is also the number of God's government, foreshadowed by the Ark that harbored God's presence to lead and guide God's people.
So the crossing of the Red Sea, the Jordan, the Ark of the Covenant and the twelve stones stand as proof we can win no matter how out in front Satan is in spreading his knowledge! Our God is greater!
You know, on top of all this proof of God's sovereignty, when you think about it, Jesus not only controlled the water, He controlled the wind as well!
Mark 4:39 reveals this.
39 Then He (Yeshua) arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
Now let us look at Ezekiel 37:9.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath (or wind), prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ”
This means we can prophetically pray and praise the message of God on the wind at the urging of the Holy Spirit to change people's lives! As we teach, the Lord can carry His truth to all corners of the earth on the wind and man will hear it in his spirit! It is a form of God's way of communicating loud and clear! By the way, eighth day people are called and known as
children of the wind!
John 3:8 speaks of them.
8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (Child of the wind!)
So this is another means Satan can't stop us or our message from going forth!
Did you realize the trees, the flowers, the beasts of the field, birds of the air, even the fish of the sea understand our urgency for restoration? They too are out of sync, because when Adam and Eve were defeated, they brought their sin and curses on all their possessions as well! Not only has the wrong knowledge, man's intellect been used to train and care for them, but they have
altered them by crossing breeds making them inferior, so they too eagerly want and need restoration as well!
Romans 8:19-21 explains this.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation (not just man) eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility (uselessness), not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; (hope we would care enough for creation to want to walk in God's will so they could be set free!)
Here is God's promise!
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty (Jubilee) of the children of God.
Isaiah 43:20 shows the animals that just get the crumbs of our life still love and appreciate God.
20 The beast of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters (living waters) in the wilderness and rivers in the desert (in the hard to reach places), to give drink (to those that thirst) to My people, My chosen. (The children of God that will one day be revealed and set them free!)
Job 12:7-10 gives us a very good picture of how God originally meant for all of creation to interact. You will see the ability to convey thoughts to each other was created in us and in fact all creatures! The communication however is with our spirits, not our soul man. Remember Adam and Eve were able to communicate openly with creation before the fall. They were created in God's image who as we know is a Spirit that has a soul. They likewise were spirits that had a soul, but were given a body to enable them to live on the earth that had been given to them by the Lord as their home.
Job 12:7-10 shows us the ability of God's creatures to communicate with mankind.
7 “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will explain to you.
9 Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this,
10 In whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
You see they actually know and understand the Word created everything and they are therefore His.
Psalm 148:7
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all the depths;
Revelation 5:13 says,
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them , I heard saying (see, they communicated): “Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
They also know there is
no life without Him! Much of mankind could learn from them! Instead they are treated with little regard for who and what they are in God!
You see, the Lord created all things on earth
in sync with the laws that govern the whole universe. The law was a permanent part of them, built into their spirits and all was therefore in total harmony originally. Since the laws were created in them there was always complete obedience to God's will as well. Only man was created with the free choice to obey or not! We are
in His image, little gods.
John 10:34 shows the state of mankind.
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’?
Psalm 82:6-7
6 I said, “You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”
The end will be glorious, when we all, man and all creation come together at the blast of the last trumpet! Perfected in spirit, filled with truth, there will be such power! Can we now see how foolish the world's knowledge is? In comparison to the knowledge of God, how trivial and limited man's thinking is that is based on Satan's knowledge? When you think about the universe and beyond created by our God, how small, how tiny Satan and his people are! Yet many foolishly seek this knowledge constantly. By doing this they like Adam and Eve choose Satan's mind and thinking over the Lord's who is the embodiment of the Word! We must ask ourselves,
whose side are we really on? What water do we thirst for? Black or clean?
So the race is on! Let me ask, who are your friends? Who are the ones you discuss things with, taking in their worldly knowledge and therefore ending up with their twisted perspectives? Which team are we really a part of? Do we seek advice from the internet, the TV, the world's educated people? Do the letters after their names impress you? Is the reason you do this possibly because they appeal to your soul man and therefore come closer to thinking like you? Remember, Satan is spreading his knowledge fast as he can through his vessels, beware, if you're not careful you could end up being one of them!
Isaiah 33:6 prophesies the end of the race.
6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of the Lord is His treasure.
Daniel 12:4
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end (all the signs of Matthew 24, scriptures that show the end signs to look for, are fulfilled); many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (God's knowledge grows as Satan's decreases.)
Exodus 14:28
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.
The tables turn, Satan's people have drowned in his knowledge, his black water.
Revelation 21:1
1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea (no Adamic race left).
Revelation 4:6
6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. (Satan can't hold this sea back! The new species of born again man filled with God's knowledge!)
No more knowledge of Satan, the stream that descends into the dead sea is gone. Only the
living waters of God will remain.
Revelation 22:1
1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. (In place of the Jordan, knowledge straight from God pours into the crystal sea.)
John 7:38
38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (These are God's vessels.)
Revelation 21:3
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God (the house of God, David's tabernacle) is with men, and He (God) will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
This is on earth. Satan loses, his people lose, his knowledge and plans for sovereignty fail!
