As saints, we are justified through life in Christ Jesus and thus, according to the truth of God’s Word, fruitful trees planted by streams of water, which is connected to our destiny in Christ (cf. Romans 8:30; Romans 10:4 i.c.w. Psalm 1:1-3).

 

30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

 

4 Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

 

1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers.

 

It is our roots, in the form of our spiritual longing, that are grounded in the anointing of biblical-messianic Judaism. This enables us to receive the hidden truth of Christ and the Heavenly Father, which they release from the throne room, from the Holy Spirit and to process it spiritually correctly when we long for it (cf. Romans 11:17-18 i.c.w. Jeremiah 17:7-8).

 

17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

 

7 ‘But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.

8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.’

 

 

So-called pearls of the kingdom are given to those who value its revelatory truth, which goes hand in hand with the hidden wisdom and knowledge found in Christ alone (cf. Matthew 7:6 i.c.w. Luke 23:9; Colossians 2:2b-3).

 

6 ‘Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. …’

 

9 He [Note: Herod] plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.

 

…, 2b in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

 

As we know, trees are meant to stand rooted in the earth. A broken tree is usually damaged or even threatened with death, because it can only bear branches, its crown, and any fruit when it is standing upright.

 

Jeremiah asks the false prophets who among them has stood in the council of the LORD, which reveals to us that it takes a humble, reverent attitude toward God to be able to stand before Him (cf. Jeremiah 23:18).

 

18 But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word?

 

Standing in the council of the LORD encompasses the presence of the secret nature of God, who, hidden within Himself, already has the answer to an unresolved situation.

The secret nature of God resembles the emerald-green enwrapping of the covering rainbow around Him and His throne (cf. Revelation 4:3).

 

3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.

 

This makes it necessary for us as saints in Christ to allow the living Word of God in the form of prophecy based on the written truth of God’s Word to speak to us. We need the dynamic of faith in our current dwelling in the spiritual realm so that we allow the LORD to bring us into the presence of His sovereign government.

 

It is like the principle in Luke 17:6 in conjunction with Revelation 4:6, which deals with the transfer of the mulberry tree into the sea and God’s seat of government as a sea of glass, like crystal.

 

6 He replied, ‘If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it will obey you.

 

6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the centre, round the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and behind.

 

Are we prepared to stand in the counsel of the LORD as trees of righteousness and the planting of the LORD?

 

 

It requires us to have complete trust in what we do not know, because it concerns the realm of God’s mysteries. We cannot claim control over what corresponds to our understanding or our own ideas.

 

Do we also make ourselves available to the LORD in such a way that people, like Zacchaeus, can benefit from our spiritual faithfulness and maturity toward God as our Heavenly Father? So that they not only see the living Word of God —Jesus Christ— but can also enter into a previously unexperienced quality of intimate relationship with Him (cf. Luke 19:1-6 i.c.w.  John 6:44)?

 

1 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.

2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.

3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.

4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.’

6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

 

44 ‘No-one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. …’

 

This process goes hand in hand with accelerated maturity in those who allow Christ to come closer to them and surrender their rational thinking in order to follow the wisdom from above (cf. Matthew 19:30 i.c.w. James 3:17).

 

30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

 

17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

 

Moses’ willingness to accept counsel from his father-in-law Jethro in order to guarantee justice for the future of the people of Israel clearly demonstrates his humility. Following his father-in-law’s advice, Moses divided the judges into four levels based on Exodus 18:19-23, which were:

 

‘… 19 Listen now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be the people’s representative before God and bring their disputes to him.

20 Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave.

21 But select capable men from all the people – men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain – and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

22 Let them serve as judges for the people at all times, but let them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you.

23 If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.’

 

 

These four levels are in harmony with the fourth position of the Spirit of Counsel according to Isaiah 11:2, which is also assigned the color green in God’s seven-colored rainbow.

 

2 The Spirit of the Lord¹ will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom² and of understanding³, the Spirit of counsel⁴ and of might⁵, the Spirit of the knowledge⁶ and fear of the Lord⁷ – …

 

Since God is Spirit and a God of covenant, and since His seven spirits dwell before His throne and in the Lamb of God, but also since the rainbow is a sign of God’s covenant consisting of seven colors —red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, violet— according to Genesis 9:8-17, these seven colors can be assigned to the seven spirits of God (cf. John 4:24, Isaiah 11:2 i.c.w. Revelation 4:5; Revelation 5:6).

 

‘… 24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’

 

2 The Spirit of the Lord¹ will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom² and of understanding³, the Spirit of counsel⁴ and of might⁵, the Spirit of the knowledge⁶ and fear of the Lord⁷ – …

 

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.

 

6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the centre of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

 

Based on the above-mentioned explanation, the Seven Spirits of God are assigned to the colors of the rainbow as the following:

 

Only after Jethro recognized God’s intervention on behalf of the people of Israel against the Egyptians and glorified YAHWEH, the God of Israel, was Jethro’s advice to Moses released. This resulted in relief and greater effectiveness in Moses’ ministry to help the many people (cf. Exodus 18:10-12).

 

10 He said, ‘Praise be to the Lord, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians.

11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.’

12 Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses’ father-in-law in the presence of God.

 

Based on this, it shows to us as a principle that true praise and standing before God in righteousness contribute to the release of supernatural counsel. By acknowledging gratitude and a sincere, righteous attitude of the heart, we are placed in the realm of counsel or even the mysteries of God, so that we can receive His counsel in humility. People know how difficult it is to accept counsel when we have a closed, ungrateful, and, in the worst case, arrogant heart that shuts us off from it.

 

 

The four levels of justice mentioned by Jethro in the form of capable leaders who were to support the people of Israel in legal matters vis-à-vis Moses carry within them a mystery in Christ Jesus, who is our door to wisdom and knowledge (cf. John 10:9 i.c.w. Colossians 2:2b-3).

 

9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

…, 2b in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

 

The number ‘4’ is associated with the Hebrew letter ‘Daleth’, which means, among other things, ‘door’ and represents an ‘open tent door’. This counsel is like a scroll that the LORD releases through His angels. We must internalize it so that we can act on the knowledge revealed to us.

 

This knowledge is released through the intervention of the Holy Spirit within us, who unlocks the truth that is still hidden from us so that we can apply it in the form of counsel in our future (cf. Ezekiel 3:1-4; Revelation 10:8-11 i.c.w. John 16:13).

 

1 And he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.’

2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.

3 Then he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.’ So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.

4 He then said to me: ‘Son of man, go now to the people of Israel and speak my words to them.

 

8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: ‘Go, take the scroll

that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.’

9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, ‘Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but “in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” ’

10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.

11 Then I was told, ‘You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.’

 

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.

 

In these accelerated times, we need the revelatory knowledge of God, which manifests itself in us through the mediation of the Holy Spirit, in order to carry out our mission as the ecclesia. The previous or earlier movements are over, but a new one has been released by the Father to bring the new age of the Kingdom of God into effect everywhere where we are destined to do so in Christ.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,

 

Daniel and Tina Glimm

As the ecclesia, we are called and appointed to diligently and earnestly carry out the work of the Lord in the realm of the bride or wife of the Lamb of God. A passive and negligent attitude brings us into the realm of God’s judgment.

 

What some believers are not aware of is that, despite all the application of God’s grace, a passive or negligent attitude will result in the execution of God’s judgment in this matter (cf. Jeremiah 48:10a).

 

10a ‘A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work! …’

 

When the Word of God speaks of a curse from the LORD, it includes a consequence in the form of a prophecy about present realities and their destructive effects in the future.

 

 

Based on Proverbs 31:10 ff., in which the verses are arranged according to the Hebrew alphabet, the Holy Spirit emphasized the verses 10 and 25. Verse 10 is associated with the Hebrew letter ‘א – Aleph’ and verse 25 with the letter ‘ע – Ayin’.

 

10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

 

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

 

In this context, these two letters point us to the prophetic vision of the ‘noble woman’ as the ‘bride/wife of the Lamb’ to recognize and proclaim the new things that God is doing (cf. Isaiah 48:6a.c).

 

6a.c You have heard these things; look at them all. … ‘From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. …’

 

The verses from Proverbs 31 mentioned above contain a hidden call to a new beginning, as these Hebrew letters are A-sounds and Jesus as well as God Almighty, refer to themselves as the Alpha and Omega, which are associated with the first and the last, as well as the beginning and the end (cf. Revelation 1:8; Revelation 22:13).

 

8 ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’

 

13 I [Note: Jesus Christ] am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

 

The Hebrew word for ‘noble’ is ‘ḥajil’ and means, among other things, ‘strength, power, army’. (Note: excerpt from the Elberfelder Study Bible on the Hebrew word ‘ḥajil – noble’ with the keyword number: 2485)

 

It is no coincidence that Proverbs 31:10 is a question about the ‘noble woman’ because she is not easy to find; for she acts from a high spiritual realm, descending from there and hovering above the natural realm without touching it (cf. Revelation 21:10).

 

10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

 

Furthermore, the term ‘noble woman’ can also be equated with the aforementioned ‘wife of the Lamb’ ,” which is a positive spiritual principality named ‘Jerushalayim – double Jerusalem – double foundation of peace’. It is the square city, shaped like a cube, made of pure gold like glass, which bears the structural form of first love in the form of the bride/wife of the Lamb. The ‘noble woman’ moves in a similar way to the Spirit of God at the time of Jesus’ baptism, when He descended on Jesus in the form of a dove (cf. Matthew 3:16 i.c.w. Revelation 21:9.16.18).

 

16 As soon as Jesus was baptised, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.

 

‘… 9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’ …

16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. …

18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.

 

The city is the heavenly or messianic Jerusalem, to which Christ grants us access in twelve different characters. These correspond to the twelve angels assigned to the twelve tribes of Israel. The angels stand in an alliance of three gates each, which are assigned to the four winds (cf. John 10:9 i.c.w. Revelation 21:10-13.21a).

 

9 I [Note: Jesus Christ] am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.

 

10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.

13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. …

21a The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. …

 

The ‘noble wife of the Lamb’ moves like a whirlwind in the spirit realm above the earth in her white linen dress and manifests the righteousness of God with her angelic hosts assigned to her by God (cf. Jeremiah 23:19 i.c.w. Revelation 19:8).

 

19 See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.

 

‘… 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)

 

 

This rotating movement of the whirlwind in the form of a ring or circle is like the carriage of Solomon, which expresses complete obedience and holiness of heart toward the LORD. This expression corresponds to the fragrance of myrrh and incense. The rotating movement is accompanied by angels who resemble the alliance of the aforementioned ‘sixty heroes’, who are like the rotating wheels of God’s throne chariot, which are full of eyes (cf. Song of Songs 3:6-8 i.c.w. Ezekiel 1:16.18).

 

6 Who is this coming up from the wilderness like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense made from all the spices of the merchant?

7 Look! It is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty warriors, the noblest of Israel, 8 all of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night.

 

16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: they sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. …

18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

 

The coming of the ‘carriage of peace’ (Note: ‘Solomon’ means ‘the peaceful one, man of tranquility’) is an indication of the manifestation of the power of God’s Word, which is based on the bride’s unconditional ‘Yes!’ to her bridegroom Jesus Christ and acts from God’s dominion rest and intimacy. For us as God’s people, this means living in a higher state of faith and in the triumph of Christ.

 

Continuous ‘abiding’ in this place of peace requires that you have previously gone through various levels of personal breakthroughs from the soul to the spiritual realm and let go of your own ideas and concepts. This enables us to govern in Christ in challenging circumstances.

 

Furthermore, dominion rest is a state of resting in the Father in Christ’s sonship, with the mature understanding that He is the ruler who reigns over all things and has granted or transferred to us the freedom to reign with Him. As a result, we live in the dimension of deep trust and peace —Shalom— in the Holy Spirit.

 

 

Here, the bride reveals herself as a powerful army of the Spirit, familiar with the supernatural, who works from the spiritual realm on earth through her Spirit-inspired prophetic decrees in her God-given glory.

 

As a result, her intervention on earth is accompanied by the confirmation of the Word of God, like the voice of the Heavenly Father at the time of Jesus’ baptism and transfiguration (cf. Song of Songs 6:4 i.c.w. Ephesians 6:12; Luke 3:22 i.c.w. Luke 9:35).

 

4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as troops with banners.

 

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

 

… 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’

 

35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, ‘This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.’

 

Furthermore, the rotating movement of ‘Solomon’s carriage’ calls on us to finish outdated practices, bring existing projects to a successful completion, and position ourselves in God’s perspective in the form of a new undertaking. This also involves missed opportunities that can be revisited.

 

Through her walk in the righteousness of her bridegroom, she marches forward like the prophetess Miriam in a circle dance, joyful and full of confidence about the future (cf. Exodus 15:20).

 

20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing [Note: round dance].

 

Even if her enemies stand in her way in the future, she enters the laughter of her great God, who leads her in sovereignty. The LORD causes the ecclesia to reveal herself in the form of the ‘whirling bride of the wind’ in His terror toward her enemies (cf. Proverbs 31:25 i.c.w. Psalm 2:4-5).

 

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

 

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. 5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, …

 

This has the effect of hindering the movement of the adversary, which is equivalent to blocking the wheels of Pharaoh's army as he pursued the people of Israel.

 

 

In this, the ecclesia cooperates with the timing determined by God and the manifestation of His terror, as well as the power of the four winds and their decrease in wind strength against the enemy (cf. Exodus 14:21.24-25).

 

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided …

24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.

25 He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, ‘Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.’

26 Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.’

27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing towards it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.

 

It is the four winds in their strength that, depending on the mission of the ecclesia, pave the way and at the same time lull the adversary and his army into a false sense of security, only to decrease in its wind strength at the right moment, causing a major setback in the enemy’s camp.

 

This moment serves to prepare the ecclesia as a ‘whirling bride of the wind’ to laugh confidently at the days to come, that is, the future, and to decree God’s plans (cf. Proverbs 31:25 i.c.w. Exodus 15:1.21).

 

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

 

1 Then Moses and the Israelites [Note: the sons of Israel] sang this song to the Lord: ‘I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea. …

21 Miriam sang to them [Note: the dancing women with their tambourines]: ‘Sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.’

 

We would like to clarify that this refers to the united advancement between the genders of man and woman within the ecclesia, who work together harmoniously and in unity. This agreement is like the song of Moses as shaliach – apostle or messenger with the sons of Israel (Note: apostolic sphere) and the prophetess Miriam with the women (Note: prophetic sphere) in a ‘rotating movement’ (Note: round dance), playing their tambourines as round musical instrument. This coalition can also be seen as a pattern of God’s throne chariot, in which one wheel rotated within another and their rims were full of eyes (cf. Ezekiel 1:16.18; Ezekiel 10:10).

 

16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: they sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. …

18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

 

10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel.

 

In summary, it is our decision that we are part of the glorious ecclesia, which, completely surrendered in spiritual warfare in Christ’s triumph, makes itself available to fulfill God’s standards through the power of the Holy Spirit. Only through the guidance of the Spirit of God are we enabled to let go of the old in order to exercise the Father’s commissions and gifts as Jesus did.

 

It is a time to clarify where we want to go: in the power of the soul, which can wear out at any time, or in the power of the Spirit, which is constantly renewed?

 

Amen and Amen.
