Born To Fly
HEADLINE
Secrets of Enoch 30:10 I
conceived a cunning saying to say, I created man from invisible (spirit) and
from visible nature (clay), of both are his death and life and image, he knows
speech like some created thing, small in greatness 11 and again great in
smallness, and I placed him on earth,
a second angel, honourable, great 12 and glorious, and I appointed him
as ruler to rule on earth and to have my wisdom, and there was none like him of
earth of all my existing creatures.
Men are planted in the clay soil of planet Earth with their
glory hidden by their stage clothes (human body) for their designated role as
they face-off against the powers of darkness.
You need to focus on Father’s Words.
We are “second angels”
stuck in clay bodies. You have read
descriptions of the glory of angels.
Here is an example.
Isaiah 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also
the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the
temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with
twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain
he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is
the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Angels are depicted as having “wings” for flight. Here in this world we know the value of
wings. We have seen birds take off from
the ground and soar high into the air.
When I first flew in an airplane I looked out the window and marveled at
how the earth looked from above. I could
understand why birds enjoyed soaring above the activities on the ground. It can be very exciting.
Luke 20:37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses
shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 36 Neither can they die any more: for they
are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of
the resurrection. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the
living: for all live unto him.
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the
dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It
is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is
raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a
spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual
body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living
soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was
not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that
which is spiritual.
One way to help you understand the work of your Father is to
consider the life-cycle of a butterfly.
I am sure you have watched it begin in the spring time as a kid. A butterfly lays an egg, and one fine spring
day when the winter is gone and the sunshine is warmer, the egg hatches as a
small larval worm. The worm munches its
way through the green leaves and eventually it turns into a fat wiggling
caterpillar. It continues growing and in
the fall it spins a cocoon and wraps itself in it attached to a branch or twig
of a tree or bush. Winter comes with its
ice and cold while inside the cocoon a change is happening. Winter gives way to spring and the
temperatures warm up. But something is
happening with the cocoon. On one end, a
hole appears and struggling to get outside is not the worm that made it, but a
totally different little creature with beautiful delicate wings. It spreads these wings to dry out and
strengthen. When that is done, it flaps
those wings and soars away never to return to the cocoon again.
I gave you this analogy because the human status is just
like that. In fact mankind has been
described as a “worm”, or like a fat green caterpillar with black and white
stripes and some with what appear to be spikes or horns. Look at this.
Job 25:6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son
of man, which is a worm?
Psalm 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of
men, and despised of the people.
Isaiah 41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel ;
I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
After we are born and grow up a bit, we do like all worms
do. We start crawling around on hands
and knees. When I think back, I can
remember flash-scenes of myself crawling around on the floor between the legs
of “BIG people”, who looked like giants to me.
This was the beginning of our larval stage. Our adult life-time is our caterpillar stage
and the human body becomes our personal cocoon.
Life happens and devils put us through some negative paces as we learn
the differences in the choices we make.
We learn the value and reward that comes with better choices, and the
pain and regret that comes with evil choices.
We are given “three score and ten years” on average to war with devils
in their prison chamber. When each man’s
given set of days in Satan’s prison is over, the Great Scientist-Teacher draws
him out of hell and sets him in Paradise . What do the angels see when this happens? They do not see a human caterpillar looking
like a man from Earth rising among them.
Jesus and/or Father-God calls each human by his true
Heavenly name. And Jesus voice is like
scissors which open up the clay cocoon and a NEW ANGEL emerges to appear in Paradise . God’s
power allows him to spread his allegoric wings and he flies like a flash of
lightening to the collection areas in Paradise ,
which is “the Barn of Heaven”!
Ministering angels meet and greet them and begin to explain to them
where they are and what Father has been doing.
Needless to say there is great joy and ecstasy, and the praise and
glorification of Father-God proceeds non-stop for a while!
So you see, each human being is born in the pit of hell to
face the negative influences of devils as a NEGATIVE EDUCATION “EXERCISE”. After that experience the Scientist-Teacher
treats each child-product to the open beauty and grace of Paradise . It is a one/two proposition. Devils have frightened men into believing
their lies, that some of us will be “lost” with them. But that lie is IMPOSSIBLE, and it never was
part of the Teacher’s grand PLAN. The
nasty experience comes first, then the good experience comes last, by the
wisdom of God. We will let God explain
His reasoning.
2 Esdras 7:7 1 When I had finished speaking, the same angel was
sent to me as on the 2 previous nights. He said to me, 'Rise to your feet,
Ezra, and listen to the 3 message I have come to give you.' 'Speak, my lord', I
said. He said to me: 'Imagine a sea set in a vast open space, spreading far 4 5
and wide, but the entrance to it narrow like the gorge of a river. If anyone is
determined to reach this sea, whether to set eyes on it or to gain command of
it, he cannot arrive at its open waters except through the narrow gorge 6 Or
again, imagine a city built in a plain, a city full of everything you can 7
desire, but the entrance to it narrow and steep, with fire to the right and 8
deep water to the left. There is only the one path, between the fire and the 9
water; and that is only wide enough for one man at a time. If some man has been
given this city as a legacy, how can he take possession of his inheritance 10
except by passing through these dangerous approaches?' 'That is the only way,
my lord', I agreed. 11 He said to me: 'Such is the lot of Israel . It was
for Israel
that I made the world, and when Adam transgressed my decrees the creation came
under 12 judgement. The entrances to this world were made narrow, painful, and
13 arduous, few and evil, full of perils and grinding hardship. But the
entrances 14 to the greater world are broad and safe, and lead to immortality.
All men must therefore enter this narrow and futile existence; otherwise they
can 15 never attain the blessings in store.
2 Baruch 19:5.. For now it is the consummation of time that
should be considered, whether of business, or of prosperity, or of shame, 6 and
not the beginning thereof. Because if a man be prospered in his beginnings and
shamefully 7 entreated in his old age, he forgets all the prosperity that he
had. And again, if a man is shamefully entreated in his beginnings, and at his
end is prospered, he remembereth not again his evil 8 entreatment.
2 Esdras 7:[48] .. For the wicked heart (of demons) has
grown up in us which has estranged us from God's ways, brought us into
corruption and the way of death, opened out to us the paths of ruin, and
carried us far away from life. It has done this, not merely to a few, but to
almost all who have been created.' [49] The angel replied: 'Listen to me and I
will give you further instruction [50] and correction. It is for this reason
that the Most High has created not one [51] world but two.
Psalms 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy
wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The days of our
years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be
fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut
off, and we fly away.
Luke 17:37 And they answered and said unto him, Where,
Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles
be gathered together.
Isaiah 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them
that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall
faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they
that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with
wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not
faint.
Psalms 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember
and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship
before thee. 28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor
among the nations. 29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and
worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can
keep alive his own soul. 30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be
accounted to the Lord for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall
declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done
this.
After one hears his TRUE NAME and the voice of Jesus calling
him:
2 Baruch 49:1 Nevertheless, I will again ask from Thee, O
Mighty One, yea, I will ask mercy from Him who made all things. 2 "In what
shape will those live who live in Thy day? Or how will the splendour of those
who (are) after that time continue? 3 Will they then resume this form of the
present, And put on these entrammelling members, Which are now involved in
evils, And in which evils are consummated, Or wilt Thou perchance change these
things which have been in the world As also the world?" '
2 Baruch 50:1 And He answered and said unto me: 'Hear,
Baruch, this word, And write in the remembrance of thy heart all that thou
shalt learn. 2 For the earth shall then assuredly restore the dead, [Which it
now receives, in order to preserve them]. It shall make no change in their
form, But as it has received, so shall it restore them, And as I delivered them
unto it, so also shall it raise them. 3 For then it will be necessary to show
to the living that the dead have come to life again, and that 4 those who had
departed have returned (again). And it shall come to pass, when they have
severally recognized those whom they now know, then judgement shall grow
strong, and those things which before were spoken of shall come.
2 Baruch 51:8 For they shall behold the world which is now
invisible to them, And they shall behold the time which is now hidden from
them: 9 And time shall no longer age them. 10 For in the heights of that world
shall they dwell, And they shall be made like unto the angels, And be made
equal to the stars, And they shall be changed into every form they desire, From
beauty into loveliness, And from light into the splendour of glory. 11 For
there shall be spread before them the extents of Paradise, and there shall be
shown to them the beauty of the majesty of the living creatures which are
beneath the throne, and all the armies of the angels, who [are now held fast by
My word, lest they should appear, and] are held fast by a 12 command, that they
may stand in their places till their advent comes. Moreover, there shall then
be 13 excellency in the righteous surpassing that in the angels. For the first
shall receive the last, those whom they were expecting, and the last those of
whom they used to hear that they had passed away. 14 For they have been
delivered from this world of tribulation, And laid down the burden of
anguish.
Matthew 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as
the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
When we hear Jesus call us, like the butterfly, we also must
fly away. You recall that a “man” comes
in two parts. The (1) visible clay
cocoon is discarded and the invisible (2) spirit offspring flies away “Home”! Father-God is a spirit and so are we!
Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth
as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the
hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem , worship the
Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for
salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when
the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the
Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
2 Esdras 2:3 I, Ezra, received on Mount
Horeb a commission from the Lord to go
to Israel ;
but when I came, they scorned me and rejected the Lord's commandment. 34
Therefore I say to you Gentiles, you who hear and understand: 'Look forward to
the coming of your shepherd, and he will give you everlasting rest; for he who
is to come at the end of the world is close at 35 hand. Be ready to receive the
rewards of the kingdom; for light perpetual 36 will shine upon you for ever and
ever. Flee from the shadow of this world and receive the joy and splendour that
await you. I bear witness openly to 37 my Saviour. It is he whom the Lord has
appointed; receive him and be joyful, giving thanks to the One who has summoned
you to the heavenly 38 realms. Rise, stand up, and see the whole company of
those who bear the 39 Lord's mark and sit at his table. They have moved out of
the shadow of this 40 world and have received shining robes from the Lord.
Receive, O Zion your full number, and close the roll of those arrayed in white
who have 41 faithfully kept the law of the Lord. The number of your sons whom
you so long desired is now complete. Pray that the Lord's kingdom may come, so
that your people, whom he summoned when the world began, may be set apart as
his own.' 42 I, Ezra, saw on Mount
Zion a crowd too large to
count, all singing hymns 43 of praise to the Lord. In the middle stood a very
tall young man, taller than all the rest, who was setting a crown on the head
of each one of them; he 44 stood out above them all. I was enthralled at the
sight, and asked the angel 45 'Sir, who are these?' He replied, 'They are those
who have laid aside their mortal dress and put on the immortal, those who
acknowledged the name 46 of God. Now they are being given crowns and palms.
'And I asked again, 'Who is the young man setting crowns on their heads and
giving them 47 palms?', and the angel replied, 'He is the Son of God, whom they
acknowledged in this mortal life. 'I began to praise those who had stood so
valiantly 48 for the Lord's name. Then the angel said to me: 'Go and tell my
people all the great and wonderful acts of the Lord God that you have seen.'
So you see every human incarnation born from a woman goes
through a larval worm-stage. After a given
time he is REMOVED to “FLY AWAY on wings like an eagle”!
