This is going to be the last blog on this series and a foundation to a new book called, "The Highway of Holiness." These blogs are but a skeleton for what the next 20 minute of "spiritual time" is going to bring to the church and those who are preparing themselves to be a bride for the Lord Jesus Christ.
I wish I could concur with all the prophetic voices proclaiming revival and "great days" for the church lie ahead. I do believe our greatest days are ahead, but not how most of the prophetic writings I have read suggest, if I am hearing the Lord correctly.
Dear reader, you have to discern the voices that are speaking today. Which ones are from the Holy Spirit of the Living God and which ones are not. This will take a deep abiding with the Lord and living in His presence to discern the voices that are speaking today, even in the name of the Lord.
It is very difficult to explain the overlap of the closing of the 2nd day of the church or 2000 years and the beginning of the third day of the next 1000 years of our history. I have written much about Jesus speaking to the Pharisee's when they told Him Herod wants to kill Him. He said, "go tell that fox, that today and tomorrow I heal and due cures, but on the third day I finish my course." Luke 13:32. This utterance of the Lord is so strategic for understanding the overlapping of these two days.
I mentioned in an earlier blog how is it possible to be in two different days at the same time. Here is a way to explain it in the natural world. I am planning at the end of this month to be in Johannesburg South Africa. I am going to leave on one day and get there the next day. When I arrive there, it will be a day ahead of my home in Tucson. Right now on the planet earth there are two days going on at the same time, for a period of time throughout the day. Those days overlap together perfectly. For those in the western part of the world, they in the east are a day "ahead" of us. To them in the eastern part of the world, we in the west are a day "behind" them.
Beloved that is a distinction we must understand for these end time events to unfold accurately to our senses. God can do two things at one time! Matter of fact He can do millions of things at the same times or billions and more. So this overlap is no big deal to the Lord. If you notice how times is measured, it begins with the sun rising in the east and sets in the west. So the beginning of the new day comes with an arising of the sun in the east! The bible speaks of this event coming in the Eastern Gate! (Ezekiel chapter 40)
Now this East gate is very significant for us to understand the upcoming events that are about to happen on the earth, and it is the very place the "true 3rd day watchman" of the Lord must take their place. This eastern gate is where "the prophetic utterances of the third day are to come from." They are to come forth from God with His understanding for these end times.
In the natural world, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Those living in the eastern hemispheres are technically "a day ahead"of us. We living in the western hemisphere are "a day behind them." This is a prophetic picture of what God desires us to see about Revelation chapters 1-4. We must begin to see and know the God who is to come and the one that is "ahead of us and the day that is ahead of us as well. This is what John the Beloved see and hears when He is caught up a "second time" in the Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 4:1.
In Revelation 1, we see John is in the spirit on the Lord's day and He hears a voice come from behind Him as the sound of many waters. John, "the one that Jesus loved" had to turn around to recognize that voice. This prophetic act was necessary for John to understand the work of the Omega God who was going to show him His finishing work of the days of mankind. John had to turn around to see the "new" that was to come. He does see the new when He sees Jesus in the fullness of His Glory. He doesn't even recognize Him and falls at His feet like a dead man. The Lord strengthens him and allows John to see the fullness of mankind and their eternal place with the Lord. John is able to see a new heaven, a new earth, and a new city of Jerusalem coming down like a Bride all arrayed for her Bridegroom.
John is about to see the "finishing work of God." The very work Jesus speaks to the Pharisee's about. Go tell that fox, today and tomorrow, (two days) I heal and do cures, but on the THIRD DAY, I WILL FINISH MY COURSE! What a statement we need to consider.
Up to this point, John is literally in the first day when he gets this revelation from Jesus. The Lord allows him to look into the second day(our present day and our spiritual condition as a church), and then John gets to see the OVERLAPPING of the church from the 2nd day into the third day. The Lord allows Him to see the second day and the end of that day in Revelation chapter 1-3. At the end of the church age or the end of the second day, Jesus is standing on the outside knocking on the door for us to open to Him so He can come in and eat with us and us with Him.
I have written extensively about that in the previous blogs, so I won't waste time on that again. But the overlap of days begins with John seeing Jesus in the midst of the church WITH EYES LIKE FIRE AND FEET OF BRASS CALLING THE CHURCH TO REPENT OF HER LUKEWARMNESS AND THE SIN IN HER MIDST!
John watches Jesus standing on the church door knocking to get inside but then in chapter 4 begins to hear the same voice in chapter 1, Jesus Christ calling him to come up into the future day, or 3rd day in Revelation chapter 4 verse 1. Let us read the account of this overlap and calling Him into the third day from verse 1 of Chapter 4.
Rev 4:1 After these things I saw a door open in heaven, and the first voice came to my ears, like the sound of a horn, saying, Come up here, and I will make clear to you the things which are to come. (This is the doorway into the THIRD DAY REVELATION OF THE OMEGA GOD THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT)
I want you to notice two important things; one the first voice came to my ears. (He that has an "ear to hear" let him listen to what the Holy Spirit says to the churches)This is the same voice that John heard standing at the end of the second day like the sound of many waters. In that voice and place John's eyes are open to see the true condition of the church at the close of the second day and beginning of the third day. Again it says it was like a horn, or war trumpet.
Then a word come to him. A word that will cause him to come up through the OVERLAP of days and it calls to him: COME UP HERE! This is the same voice we hear in Isaiah 60:1-3 that proclaims: "Arise and shine for your light has come, and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon thee." With that command to "Come Up Here," John crosses the bridge between the two days. In the natural that would be like taking a jet from New York at 6 am in the morning and landing in South Africa the next day at 6 am, but only travel 12 hours on a plane and not 24 hours needed to be the next day. 6 am to 6 am is 24 hours in the natural, but a jet can cross that time line in 12 hours of flight time, yet still bring you 24hours ahead into the next day.
By jet you can leave your destination on one day, say June 4. As you left on June 4th and travel the distance of miles to your destination you literally OVERLAP time zones and get to your destination in the next day without completing a 24 cycle of time. This can happen because of how God made the rotation of the earth around the sun. God made the earth rotate on its axis and then around the sun to be a prophetic picture for us to understand the beginning and the end of days that is just about to come upon us.
As John is called to come up here, the Lord speaks to Him the reason: "COME UP HERE, SO I CAN MAKE CLEAR TO YOU THE THINGS THAT COME!" Beloved, this is our destiny place, and that which is to be unfolded in and through us as we cross over between the two days.
I know this is hard to understand and it is for me. I am just seeing this from a thumb nail perspective, but enough to begin to declare it's existence. Others may add much more to it, and make it more clearer than I in the future, I sure hope so. For now however: I must declare as the Lord allows me to do so.
It is vital for us to see the things that are to come. Many believers think this means the declaring of the Anti-Christ, the fall of Babylon, the false prophet, or the mark of the beast and the unfolding of end-time events. Those things are sure to happen. But for me the Third day is to be so much more than the unfolding of events. For me it is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORD! IT IS OUR HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM COMING FOR HIS BRIDE! The events are important to understand, but the purpose for these events is of much GREATER VALUE to us in revealing the heart of God towards us!
It is the explaining of these events that God is now placing HIS WATCHMAN on the East Gate of His temple as found in Ezekiel chapter 40. Why on the east gate? Because it is only in the east can you see" THE RISING OF THE SON! Don't you get it! Not just the SUN but the SON! It is in that gate the Glory of the Lord will fill all the earth, and God will fill everything everywhere with His ALL IN ALL!
Ezekiel is going to get a picture of the temple that has not been built yet, and the ones the Jews desire to build. Solomon's temple was built for "the name of the Lord." This temple that has yet to be built is for the "Lord to be in the midst of her " forever and ever! The temple that was destroyed by the Romans was built for "for the name of the Lord." This is the temple the Jews to this day want to rebuild to make a "name for the Lord."
Ezekiel's temple is to be built for a permanent "habitation of the Lord" like the "new city" exemplified in Revelation chapter 21 1-3:
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea. Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband. Rev 21:3 And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.
This is the "THIRD DAY" Temple! The one made up of "LIVING STONES BUILT UP INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE OR HABITATION OF THE LORD! This is the Tabernacle God is truly building. 1st Peter chapter 2 testifies:
1Pe 2:1 So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk, 1Pe 2:2 Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation; 1Pe 2:3 If you have had a taste of the grace of the Lord:
1Pe 2:4 To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God; 1Pe 2:5 You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
1st Peter 2:6-10, "Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame. And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building; And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God. "
But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven. In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.
The second day church is still consumed as the Jews are of building a house for "the name of the Lord." Many ministries exist for that one purpose, to declare or proclaim the name of the Lord through their ministries. It is to this backdrop Jesus warns us with this warning in Mathew chapter 7:
Mat 7:21:23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Do you understand this beloved? The Lord is no longer building a "house for his name!" He is building a house for HIS PRESENCE to permanently abide! That house is us, the living stones of the Lord who are being built up into a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, to show forth the praise of Him that has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. What house are you building? Which day are we to continue to live in? The today and tomorrow of miracles and cures, or the third day where God finishes His work in us. It is a tough choice considering the world needs to see the power of God!
This is the message of the THIRD DAY WATCHMAN! These watchman are the ones that God is allowing to understand the OVERLAPPING of the days. They are bridge builders to show the way for the wise virgins to come and be married to the Lord. They are the pointers in the Song of Solomon to point the bride in the direction of the Lord to finishing testimony, "I am my beloveds and his desires are towards me." They are the ones showing the way to true victory and the overcoming power of the finishing work of the Lord. "To he that overcomes, will I give him authority over the nations!"
John the Beloved was one of these prophetic watchman on the wall of the Lord. He saw in pictures, visions, the unfolding of this glorious day and these end time events. He saw the revelation of the KING OF KINGS, finish the work He spoke out at the cross, "IT IS FINISHED!"
Let us see the place these future WATCHMEN are given in Ezekiel's temple and their place in the Eastern Gate:
Eze 40:1-3, "In the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the first month of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the town was taken, on the very same day, the hand of the Lord was on me, and he took me there. In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel, and put me down on a very high mountain, on which there was, as it seemed, a building like a town opposite me. He took me there, and I saw a man, looking like brass, with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod: and he was stationed in the doorway."
Eze 40:4-5, "And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel. And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod."
Eze 40:6-8 Then he came to the doorway looking to the east, and went up by its steps; and he took the measure of the doorstep, one rod wide. And the watchman's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide; and the space between the rooms was five cubits; the doorstep of the doorway, by the covered way of the doorway inside, was one rod. And he took the measure of the covered way of the doorway inside,
Notice what the Lord shows Ezekiel: He tells Ezekiel to give an account of all that He sees and hears there as he beholds the Glory of God's holy temple. This is exactly the same reason the Lord tells John to write down what he sees in the vision as well. In Psalm 133 we wrote about the true spiritual unity that God must bring. The Lord had me to write that unity can never come by man's effort. Fellowship is not unity it is being together for a purpose, but it is not DWELLING TOGETHER IN LOVE. The Lord says His temple will be filled with true and lasting unity and the prophet writes these words: "O how good and pleasant it is, when brethren DWELL TOGETHER in unity! It is like the dew of Mount Heron or like the oil that flowed down from Aaron's beard."
These 3rd day WATCHMEN, those called to be in the WATCHMEN rooms are called to see the GLORY OF THE LORD! THE VERY GLORY THAT WILL BRING ABOUT THE TRUE AND LASTING UNITY OF THE BODY OF CHRIST! These watchmen are called to declare the Glory of the Lord, and to proclaim that the God of Glory is going to fill the temple (us His people) with the fullness of GOD HIMSELF, THE ALL IN ALL! That Glory is going to transfigure us and finish the very work Jesus has started in our lives, and it will bring true HOLY SPIRIT UNITY that we have not seen since the day of Pentecost.
What could ever bring us beloved into full cooperation and unity of the Holy Spirit? We are such a mess, divided by denominations. We are divided by doctrines, beliefs, and you can name 100 other things that separate us. We have dissected the Lord into bits and pieces and filled our Christians bookstores and television programs with the "bits" of God. This 2nd day condition is why the Lord is standing on the outside of the church trying to get in. It is why He is standing today in our midst with feet like brass in Revelation chapter 1.
THE LORD IS GOING TO BE DISSCECTED NO MORE! HE IS THE KING ETERNAL, IMMORTAL, INVINCIBLE, THE I AM THAT I AM! THERE SHALL BE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM! He alone is the ALL IN ALL! Beloved it is only that ALL IN ALL that is going to finish the work in all that are cooperating with the Holy Spirit and preparing Him a place for Him to dwell. Have you heard the cry of the Watchmen, prepare a way for the Lord. It is going to happen in everyone that opens the door and invites him to sup with them and them with Him.
This Revelation of Jesus Christ as King of Glory is going to transform us forever and the WATCHMAN are now being positioned to declare it. Listen to the word of God prophesying the coming of these watchman. They are going to be called doors and everlasting gates as in Ezekiel's temple. Let us read Psalm 24 with the cry of the rising of these watchman.
Psa 24:1-3 A Psalm of David.
"The earth is the Lord's , and the fullness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?"
Psa 24: 4-6, "And who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah." (DO YOU GET IT YET! YEAH GOD!)
Psa 24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
This is the call to the third day watchman. John the beloved had to turn around to hear the voice of many waters. He fell at Jesus feet like a dead man. He later got called again to come up higher into the third day to see the things that are to come. He not only saw them, he wrote them down for us.
We are in the day for the fullness of what he saw from a distance to become manifested forever in our life time. It starts with a revelation of the Bride and the Bridegroom in Song of Solomon.It grows to see Jesus as our Bridegroom standing in the church as a refining fire. It explodes as we understand Ezekiels temple, a place for presence of the Lord to fill forever and ever. It helps us understand the place of the third day watchman. They are to be the WATCHMEN in the WATCHMEN"S ROOM IN THE EAST GATE OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD!
These watchmen are to be in the place of "seeing" or "beholding" the Glory of the Lord and the fullness of the work of that GlORY that is now to come! They have a message to proclaim "who can ascend, go up, the mountain of the Lord? He that has clean hands and pure hearts. These are the ones that help prepare the bride to hear the call of the THIRD DAY, or the sound of the bridegroom in Mathew 25:6!
These watchman are speaking with a call from God, to overcome all the things in Revelation chapter 1-3 tells us to overcome. They are proclaiming to the church to allow the work of the Holy Spirit to refine them like Gold and Silver. These watchman are speaking in harmony with the Holy Spirit, "he that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
They have a burning word in them for the bride to "have clean hands and a pure heart!" These watchmen will proclaim Revelation 19:7. "The bride has MADE HERSELF READY!" Beloved, we must hear this cry with all our heart to be permitted to wear the white linen gown of our righteousness worked in our life by the Lord Himself!
The Watchman are here to announce to the church, but who will hear? LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, OH YE GATES, AND BE LIFTED UP YOU EVERLASTING DOORWAYS! AND THE KING OF GLORY WILL COME IN:Who is this King of Glory, THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHTY, THE OMEGA GOD! THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE TO FINISH WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO IN US! "He that has begun a good work in us, will BE FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE IT! The watchman will declare it again in the beginning of the 3rd day and the place of all who will enter its call: Lift up your heads, oh ye gates: lift them up, ye everlasting doors.
John hears the voice of many waters sounding like a war trumpet, "Come up here, so I can show you the things that are to come." There is a place the Lord is waiting to bring His bride to see Him in His Glory that will be the answer that Jesus prayed for us in John 17 20-24. It is this prayer that the WATCHMAN in those rooms will proclaim to us Jesus answer to us, "LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, oh ye gates, and lift them up ye, EVERLASTING DOORWAYS!" Beloved this is what we are about to behold as we hear the Lord say to us like to John, COME UP HERE, SO I CAN SHOW YOU THE THINGS THAT ARE TO COME!
THE ALL IN ALL, OUR GOD, JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY TRINITY HAVE WON! THEY WILL FILL EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE WITH THERE ALL IN ALL, OR THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHALL FILL ALL THE EARTH.
Let us have a heart ready to "go up" in the Lord now. Let us stop doing rapture practice for the catching away, but let us go up now into the very manifested presence of our King Eternal who will transfigure us with His very Glory. This is what is about to come. It is not a revival, or another move of God of the second day, it is what Hosea prophesied in chapter 6 verses 1-3,
Hos 6:1 Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: (this is the close of the second day and the work of the second day, I heal and do cures...)
ON THE THIRD DAY,HE WILL RAISE US UP, AND WE SHALL LIVE BEFORE HIM! AMEN!!!!
Hos 6:3 And let us know, let us follow on to know THE LORD his going forth is sure as the morning; (DO YOU SEE IT BELOVED? HIS GOING FORTH IS SURE AS THE MORNING? WHERE DOES THE SUN RISE? IN THE EAST! WHERE ARE THE WATCHMAN WATCHING FROM THE "east gate!" WHERE DOES THE NEW DAY START, IN THE EAST? YES, YES, YES! Which part of the world is a "day ahead" of us? THE EASTERN PART! Let us find the watchman words that will lead us to cross, the bridge out of the second day into the third day of the OMEGA GOD and His finishing work!
Beloved, if it is God's will, we are going to examine the following prayer of the Lord Jesus Christ in John chapter 17. This is is the prayer he prayed right before His crucifixtion! Let them explode in your heart for the "the things that are to come!" Our Jesus is in our midst now as a refining fire and fuller soap, let us go on to know the Lord, for His coming is as the latter rain to a generation that will desire to truly know HIM!
