The Heavenly Tabernacle

[Paul River]

Why do you want to assign Jesus this title Melchizedek ? For what purpose ? To me it only brings confusion to the Book of Revelation .

Messiah is our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek - clearly taught in the book of Hebrews. These references are Messiah speaking - I'm simply assigning the correct title to the context of the Heavenly Tabernacle.

So the KJV got it wrong ? And a whole lot of other translations of God's scriptures got it wrong too ?

Mark 4:13 kjv
13. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14. The sower soweth the word.
15. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17. And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
18. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

Keeping it all together.
There is one true sower - Jesus

There is one true seed - The Word of God

There are 4 grounds the seeds are sown
(Men’s hearts):
1. Wayside hearer - no soil - immediately seed snatched away
2. Stony ground - no death of soil - springs up then withers away
3. Ground that has tares - the seed sprouts but is choked
4. Good ground seed sprouts grows and bears much fruit.

We hear a parable and learn the true meaning.

We examine which ground we are. We do not twist the meaning.

There are not:
4 different seeds
Multiple sowers

We realize forces try to corrupt our understanding.

We understand:
Plowing
Fertilizer
Watering
Light
Gods work in us
Ground to be burned



As a redneck I have a struggle inside. The flesh strives against the Spirit and the Spirit strives against the flesh.

My hope is to open the door for Jesus knocking at the door, and no confusion to have dominion.

Since you asked, there are 4 main interpretive models or approaches in dealing with eschatology content or the study of end times. They are: 1) Historicist, 2) Idealist, 3) Preterist, and 4) Futurist. The Historicist interprets specific events such as the 7 churches in chapters 2 and 3 as a forecast of the entire span of history, and most of the events described in Revelation are thought to have already happened. The Idealist sees the events within the Book of Revelation to be purely symbolic and not to be taken in reference to any specific events but is an expression of basic principles on which God acts throughout history. The Preterist views the drama of Revelation to have all taken place during the time of the apostle John's contemporaries - in the first century AD. The Futurist believes the events of the book of Revelation are yet to happen. Dispensational Futuralist simply means we believe in a real Millennial 1000-year Kingdom.

Thanks PR
I was wondering where I fit in - not knowing much about the end times.
Maybe idealist?
It really doesn't interest me too much and I do wonder why it's so interesting to some.
I certainly don't agree with the preterist view.

I'm really not trying to re-interpret the text - I'm simply trying to illuminate it.

I understand - I was indifferent for many years in my walk with Messiah. But the Book of Revelation is the only book in scripture that promises blessing (Revelation 1:3) "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near."

I wouldn't say I'm indifferent...
It's just difficult to take to heart something a person doesn't understand.
Many verses in Revelation are understandable...
But I'm just not willing to bet on what some vague verses mean when theologians are not certain what they mean.
I do admit I'm very ignorant of all this writing of John.
It would be nice to read your book - if you can remember to tell us about it.
It probably takes a long time to get a book out into the marketplace.

Revelation 21:1 kjv
1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 22:1 kjv
1. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, andyielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

OK, wonderful, Hawkman! So one of the key verses that we need to wrap our heads around is Hebrews 7:12 "For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also." So, the first thing we need to understand is why certain laws were abrogated from the Old Testament, such as the dietary regulations; is because we are under this new priesthood where Christ is our high priest in the order of Melchizedek. This is not to say many of the laws of the Old Testament are not re-affirmed in the New Testament - all of the 10 commandments are re-affirmed in the New Testament over and again except for the Sabbath, as the Sabbath is now embodied in the person of Jesus Christ, and He is our rest! (Hebrews 1 - 4) Also, the sacrificial laws have been completely abrogated (this is also for you journeyman) as (Hebrews. 9:11-12) "But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption." The shadows of all the sacrifices in the Old Testament 1) Burnt Offering, 2) Grain and Wine Offering, 3) Peace Offering, 4) Sin Offering, and 5) The Transgression Offering, could never compare with Christ's one-time perfect gift of His own blood!

The Sabbath is still a day,but you need to understand a day is as 1000 years to our Lord.The time is near when Christs work will be finished.Possibly in the next 5 years.

Luke 13:32
He said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I’m driving out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’

I still expect he may pull his donkey out of a pitt on the sabbath day,if you know what i mean.

Maybe on a large screen computer, but on a smart phone the whole idea of the Forrest is lost while looking at one tree.

On a wall 8’x20’ it might make sense. I guess I am too lazy to take two weeks to see the dim view.

Now what I was asking you is this.

The cerebral cortex of our brain is a type of heaven where the Father and the Son are.

The river of spinal fluid is the communication with the cerebellum where we think (latest brain scan density).

We are made in the image of God.


My thoughts are not that complex.

The rest of the human body has lavers for washing creatures and so forth.

Our body is the way we understand. Made in the image.

The seed is the Word of God
The ground is Men’s Hearts.

The natural pacemaker is the symbolism of Jesus directing our life.

Creations body
Romans 1:20
Is the chart
The scriptures are the parallels.

In case everyone is worried. I am not exalting the human body. Flesh and blood is not going to inherit. The Spirit just happens to be the inportant aspect of the New Birth.

The temple under the law can perish. The human body can die. Should we sin with our body? No. Do we at times? Regretfully yes. We confess our sins.

Let’s move on to animal symbolism.
The ox is compared to a preacher.
Four stomachs and cloven hooves.
The hooves do not crush the corn, but do crack the covering of seed coat.

The stomachs:
1. Start understanding
2. Meditate re-chew the subject
3. Sour in gut where thoughts digest the fibers
5. complete digestion

Good preachers can understand.
