Battle for the minds of men

The Bronze Laver or Basin

The Laver of Bronze was always filled with water. In the tabernacle in Jerusalem, the priests that served in the Temple washed their hands and feet at the laver before entering the Temple. This washing was symbolic of the washing of sins off our lives before entering into the services of God. This also should bring to your mind, where Yeshua washed the feet of His disciples, before sitting down to partake of the last supper.

Yeshua accepted all sins passed onto Him and bore the condemnation of these sins to the cross, that we may be washed and be clean from all sinfulness of the flesh. By doing this He abolished the enmity between God and man and cleared the path for us to go to the Father through Him. Come now, and let us reason together, said the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. And now why do you delay? Rise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

To bear the condemnation of all the sins of mankind, Yeshua showed His willingness to take the sins of the world upon Himself by being baptized by John.

Today the meaning of the basin is to be washed of all our sins, and by baptism enter into a new life by believing in Yeshua and His ministry for and in us. Truly repentant, the Lord can save those that seek forgiveness for themselves with the washing away of their sins as Yeshua provided in this symbolic service. If we follow Yeshua’s leading, He will have us baptized three times. First is the baptism of water, then he baptize us with the Holy Spirit and finally with fire.

Those of us, who have been baptized, have by our baptism asked God to help us die to the old self and take on a new life in Christ. This is what Yeshua wanted his disciples to understand before they asked who gets to sit beside him on the throne.

All Outer Court Vessels are Bronze

Bronze also means the judgment of all the sins of mankind. Let us go back to the time when the fiery serpents were biting people and they were killing them. So Moses put a serpent up on the pole and if the people would look upon it they would live.

People may not realize the connection between the brass objects in the outer court, but Yeshua pointed to the brass (bronze) and said that it pointed to Him. He was made like sin so that we who look to Him for salvation and may be saved from the serpent’s bite so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

 

[visionary]

It was not the graven serpent that healed but the faith that if you looked upon it as the God told Moses to tell the people to do that healed them, by faith they knew God would heal them if they obey and God did the healing. Just as Yeshua who was a curse on the tree, and many believed that He was the son of God are still healed today. They looked up Yeshua repent and believe. They are fully forgiven and healed. Those who look upon the pole and see Yeshua, the innocent guiltless lamb, made sin for us represented by the serpent, will get a glimmer of what Yeshua was telling them. Proof of His right to say that He can save us is in the power of the resurrection. No mere mortal is capable of resurrection, cut off as we had been from the Tree of Life, only a God can do this. Only because Yeshua is God Himself can this be so. As it happened later, people missed the message and worshiped the serpent on the pole and it had to be torn down.

Let us not miss this message and worship the serpent. Satan is one brazen, bold, deceitful, conniving, instigator of malicious devious lies. Understand how repentance in our hearts brings the promises of God to our life, and healing of your mind and body from the bites of Satan.

Royal Priesthood

There comes a time when we must move closer to God and become the spiritual kings and priests that God would have us be in these last days of earth’s history. Y ou should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. In order to do this we must understand one of the most important tasks that Yeshua is performing in the heavenly sanctuary for us today.

There are many aspects of the priesthood that are performed daily. From the prayers offered in the Holy Place, to the song of praise given from the book of Psalms at different occasions, to the keeping of the feasts at their oppointed time the priest follow God’s instructions and instruct the people in the laws of God and what is required of them. God has made us today to be a part of this holy nation, this royal priesthood. If we are to be a part, we need to know our part.

 

[visionary]

So let us enter the Holy Place which is the temple of God, where the sacrifice of Yeshua is taken to atone for our sins. Just as everyone come to the cross and sees the lamb that taketh away the sins of the world, they are also to mature into the spiritual priesthood and go into the holy sanctuary where they are to partake of the truth in symbolic form found therein. Remember all things point to the work of our Redeemer in Heaven as our High Priest and King.

Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. You have tasted that the Lord is good. You have come to Him. You are to be like Him, a spiritual house and to be a part of the holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Yeshua. Now you who believe, you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, so that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Because the kingdom of God is within you.

You are one of God's fellow workers. You are God's field. You are God's temple. According to the grace of God a foundation has been laid. Let each one be careful in choosing the right construction material. Make sure it is God’s. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which has already been laid, which is and is in Yeshua.

 

[visionary]

And for many who prayed to God, knowing He exists but know not where to find Him, God understands. You may have not known Him but you worshiped Him because you believed God existed. God made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands and you knew that He is not worshiped with anything made by men's hands, like He needs any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things. He made out of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation. You have searched for God, feeling after Him, find Him, even though he be not far from every one of us. For in him we live, move, and have our being. We are His offspring. In the times of ignorance God winked at a lot of things done. Now God is commanding all men everywhere to repent. Because he has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by Yeshua whom he has ordained to judge.

Oh, what an understanding and compassionate God we have, full of mercy, tolerance and long suffering. It is time to be no longer ignorant regarding the true God and His mission of mercy and salvation. It is a promise from God that when you repent, He promises to take away all your sins.

Let's do a quick review. Do you know that God wants to dwell in your Temple?

Then go to the Old Testament and learn from Mount Sinai, the construction and function of the temple, as it is representative of what the Lord is when He walked the earth and what He wants us to emulate too. Yeshua’s illustration in the sand in the wilderness of sin is the same framework which He wishs to construct in you.

It is many layers deep, I admit, but with the Lord leading, He will teach the willing. Over all there are three layers... The original, which is in heaven, where Yeshua is now ministering as our High Priest, as you can read in Revelation. The copy which was given to Moses and which He had built the travelling tabernacle with all services included gave us the rehearsal for a prophetic play to teach us the work of the Messiah in our lives and heart. And the one who walked in the flesh living as it was found in Yeshua.

And now it is for us to pick up and open up our temple doors and invite Him in to do His services through us and is in us. Yeshua is at your temple door knocking... waiting.. He is saying “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” We are to be his royal priesthood doing His Service on His Presence. For the sake of others coming to learn of the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE let us live our lives as an example of Temple service to God. By His Spirit He lives in us.

Leaving the Outer Court

There comes a time when it is necessary to leave the outer court. As it is prophesied in Daniel, this part of the sanctuary services will be taken away, by the overflowing abomination, when the city and the temple are destroyed. For those that are not familiar with Daniel, he was given a vision of the last days, which has puzzled many for centuries which you can read for yourself.

This has been the puzzle in prophecy that many have tried to calculate using the numbers provided as to when this occurred or is still to occur. While not get into this prophecy to any depth, keep it in mind, because this study will affect how you will re-examine the prophecy later.

The sanctuary mentioned in this prophecy is not an earthly sanctuary or temple in Jerusalem; but the Temple of God, which is the divine original Moses was shown in the mountain and of which he made an earthly copy.

 

[visionary]

According to this prophecy in Daniel the Antichrist is scheduled to desecrate the Temple of God by his very presence. He will enter in the outer court of the Temple of God where the daily sacrifices are performed and will blasphemously challenge the Prince of the heavenly host at the spot where God declared was His. Jerusalem will be the center of the Universe’s greatest conflict.

The heavenly host cast down to the ground were once the holy angels who surround the throne of God and because they followed their commander, Lucifer aka Satan. Disobedience was through Satan, over what God told these angels, one third of all of heaven, and because of it they also fell into his deception and end up being cast of out of heaven too.

It was a violent war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the Satan and his angels. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven and so we ended up being the “lucky” ones who end up with Satan and his crew I do not believe it has happened yet because when it does it will look like the stars of heaven fell unto the earth like a fig tree tossing figs in a furious wind storm. The war in heaven affects us, for the dragon comes after us in fury for having lost the battle in heaven and he knows His time is short.

Winds are not just the weather condition, they are also used to describe mighty beliefs that consume the mind, they can be brought about through deception which comes from the Devil, and they can also be from the mighty workings of our Lord through the Holy Spirit.

Turmoil and tribulation among the nations, strife stirring up the masses, all are making the rushing about, rushing sounds of many waters, or winds. Since we are in the middle of the final battlefield, there is two types of winds, the winds of strife which is the working of the devil, so if you are stirred up to manifest an angry, hateful, evil intent, then it is not of God. The workings of the Lord which are to wake us up from dead works and beliefs into a new life with His Spirit in us and to do the good works that God has commanded us to do, peculiar given the circumstances, but understandable in the light of gospel and in the hope of salvation.

The great sea is the multitudes upon the earth, the vast human sea of humanity which the four winds like doctrines strive to control our minds, those to bring us closer to the Lord and those to lead us into servitude to the Antichrist. But the Lord has promised us that his kingdom is divided, doesn’t last long, and will not have any posterity.

 

[visionary]

At the sound of the trumpets, the message will get to the people of God and they will gather from the four corners of earth into the truth. There are four winds of earth which are the winds of strife that the devil can stir up, and they are being held back from having full sway upon the multitudes until every one has a chance to receive the seal of the Living God.

You remember the parable that the Lord told about building the house on the rock, so that when the winds blew and the floods came, it was not moved. We understand the foundation for the house was a solid foundation in Yeshua. Building a foundation for the Temple of God which you are, in which God may dwell will need to be strong to withstand every wind of doctrine, and the over flooding of satanic deceptive lies manifested to deceive the very elect in the last hours of earth’s history.

So how are the people of God to be prepared for this experience that the world has and not be over come in some deception of Satan. They are themselves are to have an experience with God in their Temple. This indwelling of the Holy Spirit will seal them to the truth. Just as the disciples were told to stay in the upper room until the Holy Spirit comes, so are we to wait upon the Lord, praying for deliverance only He can give us. We are to be praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, that we might walk in the light of truth.

In Daniel’s prophecy the Prince of princes is none other that Yeshua, who is currently officiating in the heavenly sanctuary. When the Antichrist stops the offering of the daily sacrifice it will be at the Temple of God in the outer court. So you ask “how can the daily sacrifice be stopped by Satan?” If Satan can stop people from praying for repentance, there is no need for the daily sacrifice and its service. If Satan can get people to not look to Yeshua, for one reason or another, then there is no need for Yeshua to perform the daily sacrifice priestly service. Maybe they believe Satan to be Yeshua. Remember this warning…Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.

Satan will be doing a great imitation of the second coming of Yeshua before Yeshua returns and if they believe Satan to be Yeshua then you will have no more requests for forgiveness, no more repentance and therefore no more need for the heavenly daily services. Let’s say the world no longer repents for they now believe it is no longer necessary because they live under His Grace or some other deceptive lie fostered by some institutions that they have trusted to be keepers of the truth. The idea that grace trumps the Kingdom of God and His Laws makes no sense even in our present government system. Why should it make any more sense in God’s. No kingdom can be without Laws. Yet there are those who have taken upon themselves to lead the people away from the truth as it is found in Christ.

 

[visionary]

With a false concept of justification, faith, sanctification and grace, people under a great deception will unwittingly, unknowingly be serving another god. As we get into the ministry in the Holy Place and the Most Holy, you will see how the daily sacrifice can be stopped.

Remember brass represents judgment, gold is divine nature, and silver is redemption. There is no silver in the new heaven and earth reign of Christ, indicating that redemption has ceased for there is not more need for it in a new world of saints in whom is no guile, and who are perfect in Christ

 

[visionary]

The daily sacrifice of this part of the prophetic vision that Daniel seen is this desecration of the heavenly sanctuary for 2300 days and it will occur at the time appointed. When is the time appointed? And the answer the Lord gives us is “At the time of the end, in the last end of the indignation, when transgressors are come to the full.” Transgressors at the end of time will be at a time when mankind is without restraint, they will be in full control of the world but out of control mentally, it is at the end of indignation, at the end of time, at the appointed time. Remember, the biggest battle of all is over the minds of men.

Gabriel told Daniel to shut up the vision; meaning seal it up as it was not to occur in his lifetime or as Gabriel stated “for many days”. It will occur before the Saviour returns to earth. Which means it can start up at any time here in the near future.

 

[visionary]

Now knowing the judgement of the Lord has an appointed time, called the Day of Atonement, it is important to learn more about this appointed time and what to expect. I want you to understand that when the Lord comes to His temple it will be fast, suddenly. For those that are prepared for it, this will be a time of great rejoicing, for those who are unprepared, it will be the judgement that they so feared.

Think about it, if God suddenly came to your mind, and all the secret things are revealed in their true light, how would you feel, what you do and how would you respond to such an event.

Because of hardness of heart, there will be people will not listen to the message that would have prepared them as to what is about to come upon the world, leaving them unprepared for the reality of the event. This is way it is so important to keep your eyes upon the Lord and His Word which He speaks through. He will declare everything before it comes to pass.

 

[visionary]

Taking down that curtain in your mind, that most people use to mentally separate themselves from God, before He comes to your temple like He did to the Temple in the wilderness. God suddenly shows up in all His majestic Holiness, and my question to you is , are you prepared for Him to come in all His Holiness? Today it is your sins that separate you from God like a curtain. They are what keep you from seeing God. God will tear down that curtain suddenly in the day that He said He would.

Mourning for the only son, Yeshua, God’s people will be rejoicing when He comes to their temple, in the real way which is more awesome than there are words to describe the experience. It will be a totally different event for them. The Lord knows that only He is the one for His bride. He will come suddenly to her, which is our minds, the Temple of God, at the appointed time. It is important for believers to be ready at the appointed time for this experience with God. It is so necessary for us to prepare to live with God forever. We know whos is the chosen man, who is appointed over her. God asks “who is like me?” and “who will appoint me the time?” and “who is that shepherd that will stand before me?” God said that He will come suddenly to His Temple.

 

[visionary]

With these important thoughts on the value of what we are about to understand, let us prayerfully proceed. The 2300 day prophecy was given to prepare the mind of men, for the coming of God to His temple, which is your mind, for the final cleansing necessary, or for the judgment of the mind that will not stay cleansed. Do you remember the story that Yeshua told about the house that was cleansed of demons and later after the demons came back to find the house cleaned, and they gather legions to fill this house, which Yeshua declared was worse than the first.

So it is at the time of the final cleansing, when the Satan doing a great imitation of Jesus Christ enters the earthly sanctuary and stops the daily sacrifice. The understanding of how salvation works has been replaced by this imitation with a story so believable it is called a strong delusion.

 

[visionary]

There will be nothing stopping the demons from entering the minds of men, and then the most terrifying period of earth's history will begin. We know this because there will be, for that period of time, no daily sacrifice in the heavenly sanctuary and therefore no mediator between God and sinful man! God declares “You have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.”

The daily sacrifice which embodies all the merits of the Savior's blood securing pardon, cleansing and protection to those who trust and obey is gone. When this daily sacrifice is blocked by the workings of the devil in overwhelming delusions and deception, then you have an unrestrained satanic reign of terror throughout the earth. On earth a time of trouble encloses mankind in the insanity that dwells in the minds of Satan and his demons. Troubles of the kind never been seen before, nor will ever be seen again. Scripture tells us that during this time the Man of Sin, the Little Horn, the Antichrist, Satan Himself will sit on the earthly temple throne of God and proclaim himself God Almighty!

Not all minds have believed the lies, got caught up in the delusion, but stayed focused on Him who is able to save them to the uttermost. God has provide a place for His believers, and they shall dwell in His Temple, His pavillion, His tabernacle, during the time of trouble that is unlike any other time in human history. God will deliver everyone that is written in the book at that time.

The Holy Place

Now that you see the storm that is coming upon the world and upon those out there in the outer court. Now is the time to go inside the temple of God. Now is the time to understand where the ark of salvation is and for what is soon to come upon the world and to all mankind.

Now it is time for us to put on the fine linen that Yeshua has provided and come in and partake of the priestly bread, the heavenly unleaven bread and the hidden manna. We are to spiritually come closer to the Lord in truth and in spirit. By entering into the heavenly sanctuary, we will learn what God has prepared for us, for the time of trouble. The Lord is our refuge, and He has provided us shelter for what will soon consume the world in wickedness and abominations.
