Last week we talked about the natural side of the natural typing the
spiritual. We discussed Eve being made outside of the original creation in order
to give Satan a place to work and bring the fall. All of this took place so that
God can display His attributes or His great purpose. But it was shocking to see
the prophet say God allowed the woman to be made to be deceived.
I'm going to move kind of fast and so if anybody wants more on any part of
this, my email is at the bottom.
Let's carry it into the spiritual.
-----------------
THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_ LA.CA V-2 N-28 THURSDAY_ 65-0429E
45 Now, as we see that all of the natural thing is a type of the
spiritual things, as we went through in our lesson this morning, as the sun
and his nature. That was my first Bible. Before I ever read a page in the Bible,
I knew God. Because, the Bible is written everywhere in nature, and it just
corresponds with the Word of God: how the death, burial, resurrection of the
nature; and the sun rising, crossing, setting, dying, rising again. There's so
many things that we could type, God in nature, that we have to bypass, for this
Message.
-----------------
So if this is true, then what we have seen God establish in
the natural MUST be reflected in the spiritual. In fact it was in the spiritual first and then
the natural. The woman was deceived in the spiritual first and then the sex act
took place. She accepted the lie of Satan in her heart first then acting on it.
When we look at the spiritual side of this we see God did the same thing with
the Bride spiritually.
Notice here what the prophet says about Christ and His Bride.
-----------------
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0221E
67 Now we see the attribute,
sons of His Spirit, have not yet entered
into the Word-form body. But, a theophany; this body is subject to the Word
and earnest, waiting for the earnest, change of the body.
-----------------
The sons and daughters of God have not entered into the theophany (Word
body).
-----------------
68 Now, the different between Him and you, as a son. See, He was, at the
beginning, the Word, an en morphe body. He came in and lived in that, in the
Person of Melchisedec. Then, later, we never heard no more of Melchisedec,
because He became Jesus Christ. Melchisedec was the Priest, but He became Jesus
Christ. Now, you by-passed that. Because,
in that form, He knowed all
things, and you have never been able to know that yet.
You come like Adam, like me,
you became from the attribute to the
flesh, to be tempted. But when this life is finished here, "If this earthly
tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting." That's where we go; that
is the Word. Then we can look back and see what we done. Now we don't understand
it. We have never become the Word; we've just become the flesh-man, not the
Word.
69 But, and look, clearly makes it clear,
you will never be the Word
unless you was a thought at the beginning. That proves the predestination of
God. See? You can't be the Word unless you're a thought. You had to be in the
thinking, first.
But, you see, in order to stand temptation, you had to by-pass the
theophany. You had to come down here in flesh, to be tempted by sin. And
then, if you stand, "All the Father hath given Me will come to Me, and I'll
raise him up at the last days." See, you had to be first.
-----------------
Jesus Christ did enter into the theophany. The Bride didn't yet. (By the way,
you'll notice above that Adam never entered theophany either.)
Are you catching it? In the beginning He was "the Word, an en morphe
body". But the Bride wasn't. She was still in Christ! The spiritual was
typing what was going to be in the natural, long before the natural came to be.
Jesus Christ the male as en morphe. The Bride the female "became from the
attribute to the flesh, to be tempted."
Remember Eve was still in Adam in the Original creation.
So part of Christ could be go into a fallen state, Bride, and the other part,
Jesus, could not!
In Jesus would be displayed the great attribute of God as Savior. Jesus
(masculine)could not fall to temptation but the Bride (feminine) could. That
makes me want to shout when I see who my husband is and what He done. Before I
get off of my thought let's go on.
Notice also that our flesh bodies become subject to the Word as Eve was made
subject to Adam.
-----------------
WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC_ JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0221E
67 Now we see the attribute, sons of His Spirit, have not yet entered
into the Word-form body. But, a theophany;
this body is subject to the
Word and earnest, waiting for the earnest, change of the body.
-----------------
Our fleshly expressions, these bodies, came by sex. Which we have learned was
the second covenant that God made with Man. It was not His original thought.
God's original thought was to create Man like He was creating Adam.
-----------------
MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-13 SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
200 Now the world is to be repopulated, not by the original creation of
God, like in the beginning, not by the original creation, but by sex desire. Now
that takes care of "the beginning," doesn't it? In the beginning there was only
one man and one woman, one male and one female; but when she crossed that line
and brought this sin, now the world is to be repopulated again, by sex, not by
creation; by sex. See where the woman is at now, now? But that's the way the
world is populated today, through women.
201 That's the reason Jesus had to come through the woman, to bring it
back to its original beginning again, without sex desire. He is virgin born.
But, hallelujah, there will come a time where it won't be no more sex, but God
shall call His children from the dust of the earth, back like they was in the
original, not through any woman; but through the molding of the clay and the
cosmic lights, and the petroleum, He will create again like He did Adam at the
first time. Jesus made this possible, by God making Himself a Man and come
into the world so He could die, through this woman. Now is testing time, by sin.
-----------------
So while we are not in that perfect Word body we must be subject to the Word.
Just like while the woman is under the second covenant and man is her leader or
ruler.
So many people in the message get hung up on the natural side of Marriage and
Divorce so badly that refuse to see anything else in that message. Others try to
take what they see of the spiritual side of the message and ignore the natural
side. That breaks the whole continuity of God's Word and takes us out of
fellowship with Him. It would make us an adulterous Bride if we fail to allow
God to be our ruler and to lead us into all of His Word.
I've got my eyes fixed on the promise of God that is a million miles past the
phileo relationships of men and women. God gave us a way to be married in the
message. So, let's toe up to it, and get passed it, in order to go on into the
purpose God has for us as joint heirs with Christ. We need to quit trying to
establish our own kingdom in the earth and allow God to work through us to
establish His kingdom.
I hope you can see the scene the prophet is setting for us. It is truly a
beautiful picture. Before I wrap up I want to drop a few more thoughts in to go
with this. It is truly one great big beautiful expression of God.
The most obvious spiritual type is Christ with a many member body.

MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-13 SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
240 Now in the sex act, see, the schools got those two things mixed up.
Therefore you can't do it, you've got to bring it back to the Truth of it, "in
the beginning."
241 And at the end there will be one Lord Jesus, and His Bride many,
singular. You get it? There was one David on one throne, one king (after God's
Own heart) with five hundred wives. Jesus sitting on His Throne, hallelujah,
in the Millennium, with a Wife; like it was at the beginning, created out of the
earth, by the hand of Almighty God, in the resurrection, of many members.
There you are.
242 Women, struggle to be that, come into Christ, then you'll not be in
that filthy mess out there. But as long as you're just a church member trying to
live moral and good, yourself, you'll never make it. Neither can a man make it
outside of Christ. As Paul went on to say, "But they're in Christ, there is
neither male nor female." They're all one.
243 But to get this Marriage And Divorce straightened out, so that you
would know which was right and which was wrong, now He plainly shows here in
these types. There is one Christ; and many members of that Wife. Notice,
He can put us away for spiritual fornications and false doctrine, any time He
wants to; but how dare you try to put Him away, and make it? The man can put
away his wife and marry another one; but not the woman put away her husband and
marry another one. See all the shadows and types there perfectly balanced up?
See the original creation; not the by-product nowhere. Not the church; the Bride
through the Word. Not the woman; the man, each time. That's
why it never says
anything against the man doing it; it's always the woman. That's exactly.
-----------------
So man, having never become theophany, is subject to Christ the Word as a
many member Bride. The woman being made to be deceived, being placed under the
man in a covenant of polygamy.
In the end The Bride and Christ will be truly one and the same. The Bride
will be the Word. Our new bodies won't have to be made subject to the Word they will
be the Word. She will take on that theophany that hovers near Her even now. Just
as in the end, in Christ, there is neither male or female.
Next time we will go into the arguments that are brought against this truth
the prophet taught us. And in pt5 we'll touch on divorce and how awful it is in God's
sight. We'll also begin to touch on the further truth of Marriage and Divorce
that the prophet brought us in 'The Invisible Union of the Bride of Christ."
I'll leave you with one final thought.

MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-13 SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
245 Why didn't Abraham... Why didn't God kill Sarah sitting right there,
denying, and lying right in the face of God? Sitting there as a mortal Man,
eating flesh, eating bread, drinking milk, and He said, "Why did Sarah laugh
back there in the back," behind Him, in the tent, He had never seen her, "saying
this, 'How can these things be'?"
246 She said, "I never said it!" Uh-oh, my, tell God that He is a liar,
to His face? But He couldn't take her. Why? She's a part of Abraham. Amen.
He
couldn't hurt her without hurting Abraham.
247 Now you women see where you belong. And the Bible said, "You women be
like Sarah was, which adorned herself in modest apparel, lived honest and true
to her own husband, loving him so much that (he) she called him her 'lord,'"
ruler, ownership.
-----------------
God couldn't hurt Sarah because she was a part of Abraham.
God couldn't destroy Eve when Eve fell. She was a part of Adam
God couldn't do away with creation when the Bride was born into the earth in
a fallen state. SHE IS A PART OF CHRIST!
Knowing this, we know how we should walk after the Words of our Lord. We know
how the woman should be in subjection to her husband as he is in subjection to
Christ.
Now, each ought to see how important it is to choose a mate by character
instead of beauty and personality.
Godly character wants to be about the Father's business. Worldly character
seeks to build their own kingdom, just like Satan.
