The Holy City, Jerusalem

The Holy City, Jerusalem

HEADLINE:

Isaiah 33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. 21 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

Look at our HEADLINE!  Did not Father tell us right there even in Isaiah’s days that HIS HOLY CITY is not what the Jews thought?  It is not the City of David constructed by the hands of men.  God’s “City” is not on Earth and built by the hands of men.  Men built a “pattern city”, a facsimile for teaching purposes on the Earth-stage!  All this was based on the “pattern shown to Moses in the mountain” (Sinai), Exodus 25:8-9.

That real-estate that the Palestinians and Israelis are arguing over is not that City God showed to Adam, Abraham, and Moses.  “Abraham looked for a City with foundations whose builder and maker is God”! 

Hebrews 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God

He did not find it on Earth.  God showed it to Ezra in a vision that was realistic!  The Jews and men today have failed to understand the work Father-God is performing.  That UN-created “nation of Israel” is just a STAGE-ACT, a "pattern" of the real "City of Jerusalem" ALREADY BUILT IN HEAVEN.  God promised that City and that land to Abraham, Isaac. and Jacob.  In reality “the land of the Princes of God (“Isra-El”) are all the stars and galaxies of the “universe”!  Each offspring pair has their own star-world as their personal heritage and “home-world”!  But the Jewish people were not told the details on a wide basis.  God revealed the “secret of His work” to two Jewish prophets who were not very reknown in their day.  Both lived on Earth during the time when Babylon destroyed Jerusalem in Palestine and burned the City.  Heavenly Jerusalem is the TRUE CITY that earthly Jerusalem mimicked in the stage-act.  The City of Jerusalem in Palestine is a real “stage-fixture”.  However the Jews today and these two prophets in their time were so carnal and worldly-minded that the angels speaking to them had a bit of difficulty reaching their minds to open their eyes to the TRUTH!  Look at the following:

2 Baruch 3:1 And I said: 'O Lord, my Lord, have I come into the world for this purpose that I might see the 2 evils of my mother? Not (so) my Lord. If I have found grace in Thy sight, first take my spirit 3 that I may go to my fathers and not behold the destruction of my mother. For two things vehemently constrain me: for I cannot resist Thee, and my soul, moreover, cannot behold the evils 4, 5 of my mother. But one thing I will say in Thy presence, O Lord. What, therefore, will there be after these things? for if Thou destroyest Thy city, and deliverest up Thy land to those that hate 6 us, how shall the name of Israel be again remembered? Or how shall one speak of Thy praises? 7 or to whom shall that which is in Thy law be explained? Or shall the world return to its nature (of), 8 aforetime and the age revert to primeval silence? And shall the multitude of souls be taken away, 9 and the nature of man not again be named? And where is all that which Thou didst say to Moses regarding us?'

2 Baruch 4:1 And the Lord said unto me: 'This city shall be delivered up for a time, And the people shall be chastened during a time, And the world will not be given over to oblivion. 2 [Dost thou think that this is that city of which I said: "On the palms of My hands have I graven 3 thee"? This building now built in your midst is not that which is revealed with Me, that which was prepared beforehand here from the time when I took counsel to make Paradise, and showed it to Adam before he sinned, but when he transgressed the commandment it was removed from him, as 4 also Paradise. And after these things I showed it to My servant Abraham by night among the portions of the victims. And again also I showed it to Moses on Mount Sinai when I showed to him 6 the likeness of the tabernacle and all its vessels. And now, behold, it is preserved with Me, as also 7 Paradise. Go. therefore, and do as I command thee.']

Ezra was given a vision of a woman who lost her son and was grieving over her problems.  After debating with her over what to do, as Ezra chided her she turned bright, let out a screech and became a “City” before him already built!   He almost went bonkers at this turn of events!  As you know, Father has a sense of humor, and I am sure the angels got a laugh out of this as He was only enlightening him  (teaching) on the subject of concern, the fate of Jerusalem.  Look at this excerpt,

II Esdras 10:25 Suddenly, while I was still speaking to the woman, I saw her face begin to shine; her countenance flashed like lightning, and I shrank from her in 26 terror. While I wondered what this meant, she suddenly uttered a loud and 27 terrible cry, which shook the earth. I looked up and saw no longer a woman but a complete city, built on massive foundations. I cried aloud in terror, 28 'Where is the angel Uriel, who visited me before? It is his doing that I have fallen into this bewilderment, that all my hopes are shattered, and all my prayers in vain.' 29 I was still speaking when the angel appeared who had visited me before. 30 When he saw me lying in a dead faint, unconscious on the ground, he grasped me by my right hand, put strength into me, and raised me to my 31 feet. 'What is the matter?' he asked. 'Why are you overcome? What was it 32 that disturbed your mind and made you faint?' 'It was because you deserted me', I replied. 'I did what you told me: I came out to the field; and what I have seen here and can still see is beyond my power to relate.' 33 'Stand up like a man,' he said, 'and I will explain it to you.' 34 Speak, my lord,' I replied; 'only do not abandon me and leave me to die 35 unsatisfied. For I have seen and I hear things beyond my understanding --- 36 37 unless this is all an illusion and a dream. I beg you to tell me, my lord, the meaning of my vision.' 38 Listen to me,' replied the angel, 'while I explain to you the meaning of the things that terrify you; for the Most High has revealed many secrets 39 to you. He has seen your blameless life, your unceasing grief for your 40 people, and your deep' mourning over Zion. Here then is the meaning of 41 the vision. A little while ago you saw a woman in mourning, and tried to 42 43 give her comfort; now you no longer see that woman, but a whole city.

You should read the entire 10th chapter to see how Father was “gently” revealing what was hidden to these astonished prophets who were caught up in the actual destruction by Babylon.  Jeremiah was also part of the dispersal doing his thing with God.

My point in all this is that the Jewish people have historically FAILED TO UNDERSTAND that the business of Abraham, Moses and "the chosen" people in ancient times was part of a stage-act symbolizing something so much BIGGER.  But the Jews today have FAILED AS USUAL TO GET THE MESSAGE.  As a "chosen people" ISRAEL symbolizes ALL MEN OF FLESH AND BLOOD.  God CHOSE TO MAKE US ALL and we all have a given name, number, PLANNED body-type, and gender written in Father's Family Registry, aka., the BOOK OF LIFE.  Look at what is happening in the Middle-East because they have FAILED to understand the work of Creator-God ...AGAIN.  Israelis are shooting and killing their own brothers and sisters "after the spirit" over a patch of real-estate He plans to burn out of existence! Isaiah 24:1-3.  You know what Cain did to Abel.  It is the same thing happening again, brother destroys and oppresses brother out of IGNORANCE as Babylon, the evil spirit mother of devils, fans the flames, Revelation 18:24.  Now you have to STOP looking at world reality from the perspective of a blind human.  This is what the angels see as they watch devils crucify the people in the Middle-East, Hebrews 12:1-2.  For further reading on the Holy City, check out Revelation chapter 21.  There are no 12 jeweled foundations in Palestine, but you will find dust, rocks, dry ground, scorpions and snakes, and dried blood of dead Palestinian protesters, their own spirit-brethren!!
