The Lord wants that we as His people recognize the presence of the living Word of God and its movement and judge it correctly through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the living Word of God and it is the Holy Spirit who unlocks the truth found therein to us (cf. John 1:1; Revelation 19:13 i.c.w. John 16:13-15).
 
John 1:1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
 
Revelation 19:13:
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
 
John 16:13-15:
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.’
 
The Sojourn of the Word of God in a Region
 
On the basis of the life of Jesus Christ while He lived as a man on earth in Israel and stayed in different regions, we can see the presence of the vividness of the Word of God. Here, the respective places of sojourn have a special significance, since they open up a deeper dimension of revelation to us.
 
The entry of the Word of God into a region or place works symbiotically, which means that the presence of the living Word of God as well as its abode work together. For example, in Matthew 13:1-3, it says that Jesus left the house to settle by the lake and later, because of the crowds that followed Him, got into a boat and sat in it.
 
From there He taught the crowds standing on the shore in parables. Speaking in parables, or riddles, encompasses the secret language of God (cf. Matthew 13:34-35).
 
Matthew 13:1-3:
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.
2 Such large crowds gathered round him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.
3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: ‘A farmer went out to sow his seed. …’
 
Matthew 13:34-35:
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.
35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: ‘I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.’
 
The house may indicate the place of quality in interpersonal relationship as well as the importance of true nearness, which must first be cultivated in order to enter the place of the Father’s promise (Note: shore) in Christ and reign sovereignly therein (cf. Matthew 22:36-40 i.c.w. Genesis 22:17).

Matthew 22:36-40:
36 ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’
37 Jesus replied: ‘ “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.’
 
Genesis 22:17:
17 I will surely bless you (Note: Abraham) and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, ...
 
When we are faithful rooted in God’s love within our promise given by the Heavenly Father (cf. John 13:34-35), people are attracted by this holy lifestyle and are brought into contact even with the high thoughts or plans of God that seem impossible to the human mind (cf. Isaiah 55:8-11 i.c.w. Luke 18:27).
 
John 13:34-35:
34 ‘A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.’
 
Isaiah 55:8-11:
8 ‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord.
9 ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
 
Luke 18:27:
27 Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible with man is possible with God.’
 
The Renewing of the Mind and the Simplicity of the Cross
 
By positioning itself in the presence of the Word of God, it doesn’t fail to move further into the future to contribute to a renewing of the mind from the realm of triumph which is represented by the boat made of wood and indicating to the cross. The impact of the Word of God communicating from the future is akin to a sowing designed to renew the mind and spirit in order to be enabled to go forward in the center of God’s will (cf. Galatians 3:13-14 i.c.w. Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23).
 
Galatians 3:13-14:
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’
14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
 
Romans 12:2:
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Ephesians 4:23:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
This renewing results in our being enabled to walk in the high thoughts and ways of the LORD through established faith based on the sown Word of God.
 
Jesus’ sitting in the boat and His allegorical message of sowing are indicative of the simplicity of the message of the cross, His governing authority, and the vitality of the Word of God; for the words of Christ are spirit and life (cf. John 6:63).
 
John 6:63:
63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you – they are full of the Spirit and life.
 
While Jesus was seated in the boat preaching to the crowds on the shore, He spoke to them about, among other things, the kingdom of heaven and the harvest associated with it, in which the ministry of angels plays a special role (cf. Matthew 13:24-30).
 
Matthew 13:24-30:
24 Jesus told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
26 When the wheat sprouted and formed ears, then the weeds also appeared.
27 ‘The owner’s servants came to him and said, “Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?”
28 ‘ “An enemy did this,” he replied. ‘The servants asked him, “Do you want us to go and pull them up?”
29 ‘ “No,” he answered, “because while you are pulling up the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: first collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.” ’
 
=> The kingdom of heaven includes the rule and power of God’s orders, systems, rules and ways in the affairs of men. In addition, it includes the influence of the ekklesia in the world.
The Kingdom of Heaven is that which imposes upon the world the authority of Jesus Christ as the ruler over the kingdom of God and His heavens. <= (Note: The text placed in ‘=>’ is based on an explanation from the ‘Prophet’s Dictionary’ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 298.)
 
Harvesting the Sons of Evil and the Sons of the Kingdom of Heaven
 
Using the Bible passage from Matthew 13:24-30, the Lord let me know that we, as the people of God, should not be irritated by the apparent global overwhelming injustice, because it comes directly from the domain of the adversary, who personally declared war on Jesus Christ by sowing from ambush the sons of evil in the same field where the sons of the kingdom are present, in order to harass and intimidate them.
 
It is interesting to note that before Jesus interpreted the above parable to His disciples, He let the crowd (Note: the public) go to personally reveal to them the strategy contained therein. In this parable Jesus speaks of His enemy, from which it is clear that this is a spiritual battle, since Jesus is already seated at the right hand of God (cf. Colossians 3:1).

Colossians 3:1:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
 
Accordingly, Christ doesn’t commission us, but His harvest angels, the reapers first to reap and gather together the sons of the evil one, so that initially it looks as if darkness prevails. But the sons of evil are already in the process of God’s judgment, even though they are lulled into an apparent security. There will be a great and violent fall that will lead to the destruction of evil.
 
It is necessary that we, as the ekklesia in the structure of the sons of the kingdom of God, go forward in joy that Christ Jesus with His sent angels will take care of the machinations of the evil one. Meanwhile, for the future, we are supernaturally joined as His people in an apostolic harvest alignment for this time and the time to come, so that we abide in the realm of God’s harvest and His fullness as well as triumph in His glory (cf. Matthew 13:36-43 i.c.w. Malachi 4:1-3).
 
Matthew 13:36-43:
36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, ‘Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.’
37 He answered, ‘The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one,
39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 ‘As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
 
Malachi 4:1-3:
1 ‘Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘Not a root or a branch will be left to them.
2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.
3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,’ says the Lord Almighty.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm

We are living in a greatly accelerated time of these end times, where we are currently facing numerous developments that are greatly challenging for people in society as well as for us as God’s people. Leaving aside the current crises around energy supply, war zones, civil uprisings, plagues and diseases, the Holy Spirit led us to a prophetic dream that Daniel received from the LORD in December (Note: Kislev 5777) a few years ago, and which we currently classify as socially relevant.
 
This dream reveals a time when an elitist movement has matured to manifest itself in the dark force unexpectedly fast. It rises against God’s creation and is of global impact. Its deceptive danger lies in the contempt for the creation of man in the image of God in order to enslave, degrade and completely control his identity in the visible and invisible realms of life.
 
Dream: The Ape Man and the Panther
 
In the night of 03./04.12.2016 | 03./04. Kislev 5777 I had a dream in which I was an observer of the growth process of a man who was between the ages of forty and fifty. The man’s skin color was pale like the moon and his hair was the same color.
 
I realized that the growth process was happening in an accelerated and supernatural way, as his height was increasing above that of the trees. During the growth process, the human body took on the facets of a gorilla or chimpanzee, which was clearly visible in the facial features. The growth process ended with the size of the man when he reached with his head into the sky or the atmosphere.
 
Suddenly, in the dark night sky, I saw a flash of lightning appear from the left side, which discharged over the right side and had the shape of a hand with five fingers.
At that moment of discharge, the man’s body transformed into the body of a panther or cougar that was part of the lightning and was walking along the line of that lightning.
The panther body was composed of the lightning, so that the outline of the body was made of bright light, with the inside of the body reflecting the night sky.
 
Then the dream scene changed.
 
I saw a young woman in her early twenties. She looked to me like a patient who was in a patient room of a research institute.
 
Suddenly, the woman’s body also transformed, without increasing in size, and I realized that her face, took on the features of a monkey. When she noticed this, she seemed irritated and wanted to hide her condition.
 
She was handed some kind of face mask by a male person I could not recognize, which covered her face from the forehead to the nose area. Despite her masked state, you could see the transformation process of the young woman. Then the dream ended.
 
Interpretation of the Dream
 
This may be a political system that energizes and infiltrates society with its prideful thoughts.
 
The panther is biblically related to God’s judgment of people who rise up in rebellion against God (cf. Jeremiah 5:6 => judgment on the sinful people in Jerusalem; Jeremiah 13:23 => judgment on Jerusalem; Hosea 13:7 => judgment on Ephraim).
 
=> A) The panther/leopard is a symbol of cruel, ruthless and powerful deeds as well as conquests.
 
B) He is indicator of vicious pride in the guise of human courage.
 
C) Furthermore, it is an indicator of speed and stealth intended for attack.
 
The leopard was an ancient symbol of shamanism and the ‘sacred’ animal of Set, the Egyptian idol (Note: idol of the desert => Satan). Its character was also with the attributes of Dionysus, namely perversion and drunkenness.
 
The leopard is a spirit that corrupts the word of God and prophecy by soul power, as he is said to bring forth milk and honey from nature, among other things (cf. 1 Peter 2:2; 1 Samuel 14:29).
 
Leopard spots have also been identified as the versatile eyes of the idol Argos, who was depicted as a giant. He is also called the puma.
Due to this fact, the black leopard was believed to be born from a crossed brood of a lion and panther.
 
The leopard also represents the prince of Greece (Note: humanistic, intellectual thought; It is the spirit that controls the mind.) mentioned in Daniel 7:6 and Daniel 10:20. <= (The text set in ‘=>’ is a part excerpt from ‘Prophet’s Dictionary’ by Dr. Paula Price; page 307)
 
For us, this dream in interpretation is a clear indication of a current issue that we find highly alarming and disturbing, while it is no longer secretly but publicly announced by the responsible actors since a few years. On the other hand, it seems to be still little known to many Christians: transhumanism.
 
Transhumanism initially involves the projects and international movement of an ideological orientation (Note: doctrine) that seeks ways to change and therein overcome the biological limitations of humans through the use of technology as well as science.
 
This movement is now so far developed (Note: maturity, growth) that it is globally networked, spread before our eyes in social life to a huge shadow that wants to follow us at every step.
 
Is this already known by us in the communities, congregations and ministries in the Body of Christ, how far this ideology is on the rise and, with the help of the current crises, will bring about or advance the merging of micro- and nano-chip-based ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) in our children?
 
Appeal to Wake Up and Face the Enemy
 
It is time to help others wake up from their slumbering state and personally oppose the developments of this global ‘Tower of Babel’ movement, just as David did, while Goliath stood with his blasphemies against the God of Israel (1 Samuel 17:1-57). What is striking is the clarity in the situation expressed in David’s attitude and words, which we need in this dark time of inhumanly perverted influences (cf. 1 Samuel 17:45-47).
 
1 Samuel 17:45-47:
45 David said to the Philistine, ‘You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.’
 
The proxy personalities who push this agenda of transhumanism (Note: such as Yuval N. Harari, Jared Cohen or Klaus Schwab) openly speak of the impending mass of ‘worthless humans’ who in their eyes will be superfluous on this planet in the future. They can say this in the meantime so clearly on their international conferences or in TV interviews, because the research and information-technological development (IT) already has everything set, which is to belong to their new world order – also more modernly expressed – to their ‘next evolutionary stage of mankind’. The question we may ask ourselves is this:
 
Do we want the evolution of ‘cyborgization’ of our children and ourselves required by them in the near future? Cyborgs are hybrid beings that are merged as humans with machines or IT components. This so-called ‘cyborgization’ is similar to the influence of the ‘Nephilim’ from the time of Noah (cf. Genesis 6:4 i.c.w. Luke 17:26).
 
Genesis 6:4:
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterwards – when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
 
Luke 17:26:
26 ‘Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. …’
 
=> In the scripture passage of Genesis 6:1-4 the term ‘sons of God’ is used, which reveals the hubris (Note: arrogance, presumption) of man on earth. These are proud people who exceedingly cross their boundaries and rebel against any order of God.
 
They are an energetic, powerful social group that strives for fame and fortune. It may be that they are powerful rulers who are kept under control by fallen angels. It may also be true that fallen angels leave their abode and take up residence in the bodies of human tyrants, warriors and mighty men of the earth.
 
The ‘sons of God’ are not of divine nature; but are under the dominion of demons.
 
As a result of the demonic influence, these people enjoy great prestige among other people and thus have greater influence over pretty women to seduce them for the satisfaction of their base instincts.
 
Because of the great demonic influence, the children born from these marriages have ‘heroic status’ (Note: ‘famous men’).
 
Since they are of ‘flesh’; they too will die according to the curse, like all members of the human race. When God judges the world-and He will do so in His time-no giant, no deity, and no human being can oppose Him with any power. God sovereignly determines the days of each individual as they are ‘numbered’. <= (Note: The text placed in ‘=>’ is a compilation from the Walvoord Bible Commentary on Genesis 6:1-4, page 29.)
 
The Nephilim are the product of a coming demonic thought that is allowed upon the earth because of the wickedness of the inhabitants of the earth, so that the people in question are given over to their shameful desires (cf. Romans 1:18-32).
 
As a result, there will be talk of so-called ‘aliens’ coming to earth. These are mixed beings created by humans, which are brought into ‘life’ by the military, science, technology or even other fields.
 
The action of the persons in question or elitist powers is based on a demonic thought with which they have united, causing them to multiply or create the things according to the demonic instruction. They do this by seizing science, technology, military and so on to establish their hybrid demonic creation.
 
These elitist powers operate according to the doctrine of demons, much like it is written in 1 Timothy 4:1 and 2 Timothy 4:3-4.
 
1 Timothy 4:1:
1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 
2 Timothy 4:3-4:
3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather round them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
 
The Implementation of Nanotechnology in the Human Body
 
From implanted computer and nanotechnological elements in the human body, the various functions as well as limitations or specific properties are to be removed or inserted as desired, up to the desired immortality. These implantations can now be carried out in a simplified way by injection due to the advanced high-quality nanotechnology.
 
The dignity of human life, in which we believe according to the Word of God, is according to trans humanistic view no obstacle at all, since it doesn’t exist in its next ‘evolutionary stage’, in which only the true intelligence is of artificial, and thus more ‘perfect nature’.
 
For this there are the proofs in numerous articles to the global, industrial praises of medical progress in the application of implanted nanochips and also the philosophical praise of the ‘overcoming of limitations’ with humans in general. Thus, in the future, people with disabilities and less intelligent people will be able to be ‘avoided’ or ‘modified’ to support societal improvement of quality of life.
 
They reject the truth that God established for all time in the creation account to define us in our identity as human beings (cf. Genesis 1:26-27).
 
Genesis 1:26-27:
26 Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
 
Thankfully, there is a growing movement of awakened citizens and dismayed parents worldwide who are legitimately critical of these developments by transhumanist global corporations and the organizations they fund to the tune of billions of dollars. The promotion of the LGBTQ+ movement is also part of the leveling of the future according to the ideological orientation of transhumanist development, as well as the progressive touting of new sensors and cameras that can replace humans installed everywhere, such as self-driving vehicles, etc., from which Christians professedly distance themselves.
 
It is a fact that if you look into it, you will find that this arrogance of elitist circles of people with the highest financial influence in the world (Note: the largest companies in the pharmaceutical, IT and financial industries are led by them) is the greater threat to our future as humanity than ‘climate change’ as claimed.
 
Satan’s hatred and contempt for the human species is also revealed in their transhumanist mindset of being ‘gods’ who ultimately decide by selection which life is allowed to live within a society and which is not.
 
Since they have to be stopped in their plan, for which we as the Body of Christ were given authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, we cannot fatalistically dismiss them in their evil doings as some kind of ‘science fiction’ theory (cf. Luke 10:19).
 
Luke 10:19:
19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
 
For the further influences of advertising in social media, educational programs in schools and kindergartens, increase of state-sponsored sex changes of teenagers, high numbers of leaving church members, censorship and disinformation in the disseminated media, political efforts of digital total surveillance (Note: expansion of the social credit system) and political, business and entertainment personalities favored by transhumanist groups will not help them to stop the works of darkness unless we stop them in them (cf. Ephesians 5:11).
 
Ephesians 5:11:
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
 
Accordingly, our prayer is that the saints as ekklesia in Europe will understand to what extent these greatly accelerated developments are already having an effect socially (!) and that Heavenly Father will decisively warn us against them.
 
Not because we are asked about our personal view of what man is and whether man and woman as both sexes belong to our faith as established by God as Creator at birth, but because we have to stand up for the indivisible truth of God’s Word in daily prayers, our initiative in everyday life and social areas of life before it is too late (cf. Jeremiah 21:12 i.c.w. Psalm 149:6-9).
 
Jeremiah 21:12:
12 This is what the Lord says to you, house of David: ‘ “Administer justice every morning; rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done – burn with no-one to quench it.
 
Psalm 149:6-9:
6 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, 7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, 8 to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, 9 to carry out the sentence written against them – this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the Lord.
 
It is essential that we take action NOW. The living God, our LORD and King of the universe wants to see us, His bride, stand in faith and produce works of righteousness (cf. Revelation 19:8).
 
Revelation 19:8:
8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

For us as God’s people, the right understanding of prosperity based on the Word of God has great significance in times of existential concerns that we face. According to the Word of God, it is clear that the silver and the gold belong to the LORD (cf. Haggai 2:8).
 
Haggai 2:8:
8 “The silver is mine and the gold is mine,” declares the Lord Almighty.
 
Since God is Spirit, there is first and foremost a spiritual principle in this that encompasses the importance of the presence of the Word of God as silver and the resulting gold as riches of faith. It is the faith that comes from hearing the Word of God (cf. Psalm 12:6 i.c.w. Romans 10:17).
 
Psalm 12:6:
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
 
Romans 10:17:
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
 
The way we can apply this principle, involves the lifestyle of worship as the sons of God in Christ Jesus, so that the Heavenly Father is honored and praise is brought to the truth in the Holy Spirit (cf. John 4:23-24).
 
John 4:23-24:
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.
24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’
 
This means that we spend time in the Word of God from which our faith grows. This investment of time in the Word of God results in greater value, which includes faith as well as the presence of His glory. The glory of God is associated, among other things, with automatically producing an increase in every area, because earthly wealth and prosperity have their seat in the spiritual world.
 
=> The term ‘glory’ describes the perceptible presence, cooperating power and splendor manifested by the appearance of God or His Holy Spirit. It is the presence of the Father, His Son or His Holy Spirit.

The glory was more than a shining appearance. It also includes a testimony of the LORD’s favor and grace. The glory was a sign of His splendor as well as receiving the sacrifices of praise from the people who worshiped God in unity.

The Hebrew word for glory is ‘kābôd’ or ‘kavod’. The Greek word is ‘doxa’ from which we got the term ‘doxology’ (Note: glorification of God).

Glory includes in terms of its appearance, honor, prestige, power and blessing. Regarding all definitions of glory, its goal is to make or establish someone as an important person ‘with weight’ in the spiritual realm.
Glory is an automatic repository of anointing. <= (Note: The text in ‘=>’ is based on a part excerpt from the ‘Prophet’s Dictionary’ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 237.)
 
The Right Handling of Prosperity
 
When we are granted earthly prosperity by the grace of God, it is necessary that we properly handle the ‘gold’ entrusted to us by Him in the form of prosperity based on the truth of God’s Word.
 
Our properly handling prosperity involves sincerely glorifying God. It is similar to the golden items or utensils in the tabernacle and temple that were covered with gold and were used for the glorification of God (cf. Exodus 25:10-13.31; Exodus 26:29-30.32.37).
 
Exodus 25:10-13.31:
10 ‘Let them make an ark of acacia wood – two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11 Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold moulding around it.
12 Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other.
13 Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. …
31 ‘Make a lampstand of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.
 
Exodus 26:29-30.32.37:
29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
30 ‘Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain. …
32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. …
37 Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.
 
If our wealth does not carry a structure of worship to God, the Heavenly Father, it can quickly lead to fall, because otherwise we define ourselves by ourselves or by our own established structures. By covering these with our ‘gold’ or wealth, we miss God’s standards and sin (cf. 1 Timothy 6:10).
 
1 Timothy 6:10:
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
 
Greed for money or wealth is a fallen type of worship, as it has money at the center of worship and focus, instead of God, from whom all blessings (Note: immaterial and material) come.
 
Thus, it becomes clear that we can practice unholy financial management in the spiritual realm through a wrong heart attitude. This results in being removed from the heavenly ‘sphere of trading’, which includes a sphere of worship, as happened to Satan when he was banished from heaven.
 
This fall is represented by the fall of King Tyre and Babylon and in the way the merchants were thrown out of the temple when Jesus Christ cleansed it while he lived on earth (cf. Ezekiel 28:13-18; Isaiah 14:11-15 i.c.w. Matthew 21:12-13).
 
Ezekiel 28:13-18 (Note: Fall of the King of Tyre):
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite
and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared.
14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.
16 Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching.
 
Isaiah 14:11-15 (Note: Fall of the King of Babel):
“… 11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the noise of your harps; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.
12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens (Note: to define oneself by own deeds); I will raise my throne above the stars of God (Note: false zeal); I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon (Note: desire to be the center of attention).
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds (Note: spiritual independence by escaping circumstances); I will make myself like the Most High (Note: through pride, being driven to win only).”
15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.

Matthew 21:12-13:
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
13 “It is written (cf. Isaiah 56:7),” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
 
When Jesus, with the zeal of God, cleansed the temple in Jerusalem of the insincere merchants and buyers (Note: insincere worshippers), he drew attention to true commerce as ‘the true barter’ in heaven, which can only be done with a sincere heart through relationship with the Heavenly Father.
 
This is represented by the tables (Note: symbol for fellowship) overturned by Jesus Christ with the table legs like index fingers pointing towards heaven and thus pointing to the true heavenly trade in the relationship with the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ.
 
The House Built on the Rock
 
God wants us to build our house on the rock, which includes our fellowship with Him, in the spiritual mandate area He has assigned to us. For this, we have the responsibility to bring all the ‘materials’ (Note: resources) of our house, which represents experiences made with the Word of God, up to the rock or mountain (cf. Isiah 2:2 i.c.w. Matthew 7:24).
 
Isaiah 2:2:
2 In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple (Note: house) will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
 
Matthew 7:24:
24 ‘Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
 
This results in the establishment of the house of wisdom, which carries within it the seven-fold fiery sustaining presence of the Spirit of God, since Jesus spoke of a wise man in the parable of the house built on the rock (cf. Proverbs 9:1 i.c.w. Exodus 25:31-33.37; Isaiah 11:2; Revelation 4:5).
 
Proverbs 9:1:
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.
 
Exodus 25:31-33.37:
31 ‘Make a lampstand of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.
32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand – three on one side and three on the other.
33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. …
37 ‘Then make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it.
 
Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord – …
 
Revelation 4:5:
5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
 
As we go up to the rock to build our house there, we are not left out of experiences of spiritual opposition from the enemy, which serve to develop steadfastness in the faith (cf. Romans 8:28 i.c.w. James 1:2-4).
 
Romans 8:28:
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
 
James 1:2-4:
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
 
Having developed steadfastness in faith, we are encouraged to implement this value in our relationship with the LORD and our neighbor, which includes loving God and our neighbor (cf. Mark 12:29-31).
 
Mark 12:29-31:
29 ‘The most important one,’ answered Jesus, ‘is this: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”
31 The second is this: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” There is no commandment greater than these.’

Going up the Mountain and the Vine
 
By going up the mountain, which spirals in a spiritual context, we begin to understand more intensely our God-given spiritual mandate to serve sovereignly in it and to live in healthy interpersonal relationship with others.
 
The reason for spiraling upward is found in the fact that Jesus Christ says of Himself that He is the Vine and we are the branches (cf. John 15:5).
 
John 15:5:
5 ‘I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
 
The vine in this context is a reference to fruitfulness and joy.
 
This means that going upward encompasses the phase in which God teaches us, as His disciples and people, how to flourish and become fruitful more fully, and in that way to bear and keep the treasures of the Kingdom that He entrusts to us for the Kingdom.
 
Since the vine is an upward-twining plant, it calls us in Christ Jesus to ascend into the ‘spirit realm’ in royal authority in order to bring God’s Kingdom treasures to earth (cf. Matthew 6:10).
 
Matthew 6:10:
… 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
 
The Vine as Jesus Christ in this context is the connecting path between heaven and earth, between the spiritual realm and the natural realm. It is the way associated with joy, rest, truth and life. This rest includes physical rest or peace, inner rest in emotions, and rest in all undertakings (cf. John 14:6.27; John 15:5).
 
John 14:6.27:
6 Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me. …
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. …’
 
John 15:5:
5 ‘I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. …’
 
Furthermore, going up to the mountain in order to build our house there on the rock involves recognizing and understanding God’s respective temporary cycle of time in the form of the Alpha and Omega.
 
This annual spiral cycle is akin to a mountain divided into three time periods that function like portals (cf. Exodus 23:14-17; Deuteronomy 16:16). These portals, based on the mountain from bottom to top, are
 
  1. Passover – dimension of the blood of the lamb (Note: time of the sacrifice => not to live oneself but Christ; cf. Galatians 2:20 i.c.w. Exodus 23:4-8),
  2. Shavuot/Pentecost – dimension of the firstfruits as well as the standard of values and the Spirit of God (cf. Leviticus 23:15-22 i.c.w. Acts 2:1-4),
  3. Sukkot – dimension of harvest and glory of God (cf. Leviticus 23:33-36.39-43).
 
The dimension of the rock on the top of the mountain, includes the beginning of a new biblical year Rosh ha-Shanah – ‘head or peak of the year’ (cf. Leviticus 23:23-25) and living in the spirit of the fear of the LORD (Note: the Ten Days of Awe) as well as the power of atonement through Christ Jesus as Yom Kippur – the Great Day of Atonement (cf. Leviticus 23:26-32).
 
The top of the mountain bears the capacity of Shabbat i.e. the ‘7’ and is thus a level of divine rest and communion with Him (cf. Genesis 2:2-3 i.c.w. Leviticus 23:3).
 
Genesis 2:2-3:
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
 
Leviticus 23:3:
3 ‘ “There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord.
 
Furthermore, the top of the rock points to the seventh biblical month ‘Tishri/Ethanim’ in the redemptive cycle, which heralds the new biblical year in God’s blessing cycle.
 
Based on the explanation of going up to raise our house on the rock, it reveals that we should develop a proper biblical understanding of time and move forward in it. In this way, we worship in spirit and in truth, respecting the appointed biblical feasts by God, which we honor in faith to celebrate in joy in His presence.
 
From the understanding of our God-given spiritual mandate which is represented by the size and extent of the ‘mountain’ and the biblical understanding of time emerges a higher potential of wisdom, whose beginning is the fear of the LORD (Note: The fear of the Lord is mentioned in Isaiah 11:2 in the seventh position; cf. Psalm 111:10 i.c.w. Proverbs 9:10a).
 
Psalm 111:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
 
Proverbs 9:10a:
10a The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, …
 
This reveals the prudence Jesus spoke of in the parable with the house on the rock.
 
God requires that we come to rest in our relationship with Him in His time dimension of perfection, and as a result, through prayer, reveal the place of fellowship with God that knows no robbery, but the bringing forth of true spiritual life (cf. Isaiah 56:7).
 
Isaiah 56:7:
‘… 7 these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.’
 
Accordingly, the proper use of wealth involves the true recognition of the fullness of God, to whom glory is due for the blessings with which He reveals to us His faithfulness and which alone secures us for all time.
 
We express our gratitude and worship for this faithfulness in faith in our devotion to come to Him daily in our decisions to worship Him wholly with our lives, which brings the riches of the Word and faith (Note: silver and gold) to Him.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
