 Jehovah-Rapha or God Heals

 

HEADLINE

 

Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

 

Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

 

 

 

The Archangel, Raphael, is one of the Major Four Archangels.  His name means, “God heals”!  Let’s take a look at what happened when the children of Israel were attacked by “fiery flying serpents”!

 

Numbers 21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. 5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. 

 

What do you think of this incident?  It was not some vacant act that randomly happened to the children of Israel.  It does have great impact in the life-trek of mankind on planet Earth inside Satan’s prison-house.  Let is interpret the scenario and look closely at the variables.

 

A “serpent” is a reference for Lucifer and any and all devils imprisoned here in the pit of hell, Revelation 12:9.  Surely we do not expect them to let us have a picnic and a fun-filled outing as we journey westward to our personal end-point and sundown after facing-off with them.  Each of us is given an average of 70 years to wrestle devils.  We know what they did to Jacob along the way when he was traveling back home to Isaac and Sarah.

 

Genesis 32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 3 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 

 

The “Teacher” was giving mankind a clue about what is in store for the generations of humanity as each man attempts to seek and find Him, our Father.  Devils bundled with us on our own bodies will wrestle us to hold our minds in darkness and keep us enslaved to do their works for them.  They do not want you to make contact with God, because He will attempt to take you from them.  Jacob thought he was wrestling with God.  But later on Paul corrected our understanding of what was really happening.

 

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 

Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. 

 

We can compare Jacob’s wrestling event with the Egyptian enslavement of the Hebrew children.  God had Moses ask Pharaoh to “Let my people go,” so they can serve and worship Him in the manner He desired.  You all know the story.  Pharaoh symbolized the devil, while the Egyptian people acted the role of imprisoned demons.  He refused to let the children of Israel go freely.  It took an act of God to free Israel by FORCE and POWER as they trekked through the Red Sea on dry land to the other side.  You know what happened to Pharaoh’s army when they pursued them.  I am sure you have heard of the Black spiritual song, “Oh Mary Don’t You Weep”!  It continues with “Pharaoh’s army drowned in the Red Sea”.  And that is how the children of Israel escaped.  That is how all men will escape the clutches of imprisoned demonic “tares” that have lashed themselves to the bodies of all flesh and blood life-forms that do not fall in never-ending circles through the Earth’s solid mass.  Even if we can defeat some of their choke-holds for a short time, devils will not leave you alone.  God shuts your spirit ears for a while and you do not hear them.  He also defeats the body-affects they do stimulating human nerves to use “force” against us.  Sexual lust immediately comes to mind.  Devils make porn scenarios and show you having sex with a “sexy person” usually someone else’s spouse.  They have power to stimulate the human sex nerves and give men erections an d a climax while one sleeps.

 

Ezekiel 29:6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

 

Recall that the wife of Joseph’s master attempted to rape him using force, and he had to escape from her naked.  You can review this incident in Genesis 39:7-20.   As you can see, the Heavenly “Watchers” at that time were treated to intrigue just as men today get high stakes drama watching movies and TV.  If you are interested, you can read the rest of the story on your own.  Suffice it to say, Joseph was thrown into prison, because he refused to commit adultery with his master’s wife.  We also know that God made a way for him to become king over all of Egypt.

 

Isaiah 60:8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

 

They are “REDEEMED spirits of men” going UP for perfection training in Paradise!

 

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

 

The children of men are attacked by fiery flying serpents as they sojourn in the pit of hell as we march to join our Father.  Just as the children were saved when they looked at the brazen serpent on a stick that Moses made, even so it was a prologue for what “Father planned” all along for the “newbies”.  From above  they must observe the devils in real time abusing their human brethren still in the flesh.  This amounts to “Jury Duty” for the "newbies"!  Who could have guessed that God treats the children upstairs to His version of “movies and TV” that men watch on Earth?  There is a positive educational end-point in God’s scheme.  This is what the scriptures mean when it says, “we will become a spectacle to men and angels”:

 

1 Corinthians 4:9  For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

 

Deuteronomy 28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.

 

New “Watchers” are required to observe how devils defeat men below as they learn to do righteous judgment and discover what devils did to them in their days of flesh and blood on Earth.  When they have understood what is happening to men on Earth, some of them are assigned to men as guardians, teachers, and leaders (reins) to help men fight back against the devils in prison.  Men on Earth become educational examples for the “newbies”, who RISE UP daily as new Watchers.

 

We have learned that Babylon, Satan’s wife, is the “mother of harlots and fornication”. 

 

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration

 

Her strength is causing sexual arousal and forcing men to commit adultery.  Joseph had to fight off her sexual tactics against him and God’s law.  This is the nature of demonic captivity in Satan’s prison.  Let us recall what happened in Jacob’s wrestling event.  “The man” refused to let him go free.  He decided to let Jacob go because of the coming sunrise.  What does this imply?  It means that mankind will be held tightly by demons all their lifetime on Earth.  They will only be set free at their personal “son-sun rise” at their moment of death.  Let us “qualify” that word, “death” at this point.  Men are REAPED by Father-God for “new life more abundantly” in Paradise, which is God’s “STEP-TWO” in His assize.

 

Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. 

 

Ecclesiastes 12:7  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. 

 

Hebrews 12:22  But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

 

Now consider the following.  After a humongous wrestling match with demons all your lifetime on Earth, you rise as a “living spirit” and find out that you are now enrolled in “Most High  School“ as a new rookie spirit.  Our education will continue until Father burns the kingdom of devils and erases the memory of sin and wickedness from Our Family’s minds.  Until that happens, all “newbies” must learn how to judge righteously as they watch devils pummel their brethren still in the flesh on Earth.

 

Malachi 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

 

They learn to make the “right judgments” about who is the enemy and who is the victim down in the pit of hell.

 

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.  

 

Isaiah 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. 

 

Enoch 10:21... And all the children of men shall become righteous, and all nations 22 shall offer adoration and shall praise Me, and all shall worship Me. And the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send (them) upon it from generation to generation and for ever.

 

Psalms 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

 

Isaiah 25:6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 

 

Secrets of Enoch 65:6 When all creation visible and invisible, as the Lord created it, shall end, then every man goes 7 to the great judgement, and then all time shall perish, and the years, and thence forward there will be neither months nor days nor hours, they will be stuck together and will not be counted. 8 There will be one aeon, and all the righteous who shall escape the Lord's great judgement, shall be collected in the great aeon, for the righteous the great aeon will begin, and they will 9 live eternally, and then too there will be amongst them neither labour, nor sickness, nor humiliation, nor anxiety, nor need, nor violence, nor night, nor darkness, but great light. 10 And they shall have a great indestructible wall, and a paradise bright and incorruptible, for all corruptible things shall pass away, and there will be eternal life.
