He Shall Build My City
HEADLINE:
Isaiah 45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace
Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Psalms 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

The power and authority that God has is AWESOME! Jesus displayed this power immediately, when he began his ministry in Jerusalem. Look at this:
Matthew 4:18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
These examples show how Jesus found his disciples. I was amazed when I thought about how obedient the chosen men were to Jesus. They stoppe4 whatever they were doing and dutifully followed Jesus. I thought that was AMAZING, because to them, he was an unknown person! Here in the USA, parents caution their children about “stranger danger”. But Jesus was not an ordinary man. There is something about his voice that commands respect and obedience. What we see is part of his character as God’s Lamb and Redeemer. Sheep follow their shepherd because they recognize his voice.. God made Jesus His Shepherd with power over His sheep.
We see that Father immediately honored Jesus after He drew him to the Throne-room after he was crucified. God is SO ABSOLUTELY HUGE that He had to chose a form so we can see
Him and worship Him as our “Dad”. What we will see is an exceedingly bright Light. He has a head, a torso, two arms with hands and two legs with feet. All male sons have His likeness. The Highest heaven is where “Dad” has His Headquarters. His feet extend down to planet Earth which is His “footstool”. Down in His left foot area He built a prison-chamber into which He cast down the rebels from Paradise. You know planet Earth is built down here. This is where we are confronted by the powers of darkness that are confined until such time as God will destroy them. It is here that the first confrontation of devils and human beings occurred. God is both a “Scientist” and a Teacher. He wanted to know if men will love Him if they cannot see Him and/or do not recognize Him. So He cut Himself into many smaller “pieces” and shaped them into male and female twin pairs and built us as such in Mother Wisdom’s womb. There He SEALED tiny “face-buds” on each child according to our specific number, and gave each child a unique name. At their birth, all the little holy-seed-spirit children look the same. He alone knows who is who, and what is the designated number of each offspring in Our Family. Every gardener will tell you, sometimes you cannot tell what kind of plant you may see sprouting in your field. You have to wait until it grows a bit and buds and make flowers that blossom. Mother built us inside Her womb, but She cannot us until we mature. We are a concealed gift to Her. As REDEEMED spirits. She will see our faces when Father draws us “upstairs” as mature angels and turns on our light. As you can see, our “Dad” is full of surprises! As I have shown in other GOOD NEWS writings, no human faces will be found in Heaven. Earthly human faces are for our “stage-roles” only. Recall what God said to Jeremiah when He sent him to the potter’s house, Jeremiah 18:1-6. The potter made a clay vessel that was not to his liking. So he reworked it into a vessel that pleased him. So, Father has planted us on Earth to battle with devils in their prison chamber, Ecclesiastes 1:13. Devils have made some of us behave like imbeciles. But you must travel all the way to the Book of Revelation and to find the answer He suggested to Jeremiah:
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
God did not put Mother’s babies down here in hell under risky conditions to allow devils the opportunity to “force Him to destroy” a large number of His children in the lake of fire with them in the END. Mother has not seen all Her babies as beautiful mature angels yet! DO NOT BELIEVE LYING DEVILS! They lack power and authority to “push God around” and make Him do what they want. Believe God! What He told Jeremiah about the power of the potter is exactly what He plans to do for every “prodigal clay-vessel son”, who is bent out of shape by devils in their prison-chamber. One more time, “ Behold, I make all things new”. “But my preacher said, “Lots of men will burn in the lake of fire with demons”. Hold on there, snowflake! Is your preacher God Almighty, who thunders and roars and every living thing cowers down in fear?. Did your preacher cast Satan down from Heaven to hell as Jesus beheld him falling?
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Do not let devils lead you when you read the Word of God. God means what He says, and says EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANS.
Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
We did mention traveling to the Book of Revelation to see what God means in Words to Jeremiah. We also can find the power of the Redeemer on display in Chapter 5. Jesus is observed sitting on God’s Throne and calling names by the numbers written in the Book of Life and drawing up the citizens of God’s City from the battlefield on planet Earth.
Revelation 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
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. 21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. 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.
Death is no escape from Jesus. All those that die, hear his voice and follow him to the Throne Room.
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Luke 20:36 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.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Jesus eventually calls all the names remaining in the Book of Life.
Revelation 5:11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 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, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
There was a time when the disciples showed Jesus the buildings of the temple which impressed them. But Jesus said, “the day is coming when not one stone shall be left standing upon another that shall not be thrown down”. Can you imagine the looks on their faces when he said that to them? However to undertsand what he was referring to, you need to understand “who or what is a “true temple stone”! “Men” are the “lively stones” and each human body is the dwelling place of Father-God! To be built above in Paradise, the spirits of men must be circumcised from the clay body in order transplanting in Paradise. The clay body falls to the ground and returns to dust. Now you can see what Jesus was saying to the disciples about themselves and all men. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Heaven. But spirits of men are removed and placed in their Order of Angels.
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
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.
When Jesus finishes calling the names written in the Book of Life, He will have accomplished the task Father gave him to do. All the numbered stones will line up in Order as Father has determined. It will be beautiful, white and glorious! All will have smiling faces. I will be there and you will be there in our assigned places It will be a grand Family Reunion morning and a forever blessed moment. It will require a bonfire to celebrate our victory. I can;t think of a better time to kindle such a fire among the selected kindling:
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Glorify God!
