DIFFICULT UNDERSTANDING

 

There is a church that exists today that I call the invisible church.  Perhaps it could also be called the unknown church, the ignored church, the unnoticed church but not because it’s members cannot be seen but because they are very low profile, not in the public eye. 

Understanding prophecy is a gift of the Holy Spirit.  Anyone who does not have the Holy Spirit can be identified by the the gift of discernment as John points out in 1 John 4:1-6   There is mutual understanding and agreement in the Holy Spirit. The knowledge of the truth is only with the church and the rest of the world, 2 Timothy 3:5,7,13   How can Catholics, Protestants, JW’s or any other organization of men understand prophecy ?  In scripture there are two groups called the elect; carnal Israel under the law and spiritual Israel under grace.  Romans 11:5  Romans 9:27   A remnant is defined as, a small remaining quantity of something, the few chosen, the little flock, the church.

Scripture confirms that the church will be in the first resurrection.  Will Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Melchizedek , Sara, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Jethro, Rahab, Hilda, Debra, Miriam, David, all the prophets be in the first resurrection ?  If so then they are of the church, they are part of the elect saints existing before Christ.  Matthew 27:52 ,  Hebrews 11:40 ,  Romans 11:16   The church is the elect, the 144000 are the church, the elect.  Revelation 14:1-4  the elect, the church, the 144000 are also the first fruits.  Revelation 7:3-4  the elect, alive or dead, are all sealed by Yahweh.  The church is spiritual Israel, the Israel of Yahweh, the twelve tribes scattered abroad.  James 1:1   Carnal Israel is not part of spiritual Israel as law is not part of grace.  Romans 9:6   The church did not begin on the day of Pentecost.  The new covenant did not begin on Pentecost else all the people before Christ would be excluded.  The true church, the elect, spiritual Israel, the 144000 are an extremely small number of people, a remnant, called and chosen by Yahweh since the time of Able and into this day.  All these people will total in number to 144000.  This fact is what disturbs many people because they do not believe it.  When Yahweh calls people out of Babylon HE is calling people out of whatever religion they may be in, to separate themselves and no longer touch these unclean things and HE will receive us.  2 Corinthians 6:17 ,  Isaiah 52:11 ,  Revelation 18:4 ,  Jeremiah 51:6 ,  Revelation 18:4  perhaps you recognize the parallels in these scriptures, they are not accidental or coincidence.  The prophets of old were actually speaking to the church but using events contemporary in their day as a shadow of their fulfillment in our day. 1 Peter 1:12 ,  Ephesians 3:10 , 1 Corinthians 2:7   There is an innumerable multitude that no man can number but the elect are numbered .  When an actual number is used in scripture it is real not figurative.  I know that what I have written here is a hard thing and that many will not accept it.  I challenge you to prove this out right or wrong.  I did this years ago and at that time it was even difficult for me .  Yahweh is the teacher by HIS spirit through Christ,  if you do study this remember that.  Yahweh can straighten it out, make it plain.  Isaiah 40:4KJV
