Chapter Five: JUDAH OF THE GENTILES (excerpts)

Israel and Judah, two groups of people, represented among the Jewish and Gentile nations. Israel of the Gentiles refers to two of these religious factions, Catholic and Trinity. Now we will identify the religious group that falls under the category of Judah of the Gentiles. Judah was the tribe separated out for David’s sake, for the sake of the spiritual kingdom of God. Israel symbolizes the Mind, which ruled by the unholy spirit of fear has caused her to buy into lies, while Judah symbolizes the Heart. What comes out of Judah reveals what proceeds out of the heart, be it holy or unholy, good or evil. John and Jesus, embodying the Spirit and Word of God, came out of the tribe of Judah, revealing the positive attributes of the Heart; love and truth. The beheading of John the Baptist and crucifixion of Jesus the Christ illustrate what has taken place in the heart of man, the holy spirit of love and word of truth usurped by the unholy spirit of fear and word of lies. Spirit and Word, the two witnesses of the heart, appearing in physical form two thousand years ago in the era of Isaac; in the era of mockery. 

You will often find Judah and Jerusalem in connection with one another because they represent the name and the mother who bears the name… God called a man forth from the tribe of Judah to announce His name to the world, the name of the Father carried down through the son, as Jesus said, “I am come in my Father’s name.”… But they rejected Jesus as Messiah, rejecting God’s holy name, rejecting His spiritual word or holy seed, that once conceived of in the heart brings salvation to the soul, healing the soul… Israel of the Gentiles rejected the name when they accepted a baptism based on a lie, but out of this Gentile Israel God called forth a new people that would restore baptism in the name of Jesus. This people, who received the name through water baptism, were called Pentecostals, and their church, once organized, was called The United Pentecostal Church or UPC. This is Judah of the Gentiles. 

As we leave the physical era of Isaac, and enter the spiritual era of Jacob, which coincides with the new millennium, we leave behind physical baptism. Baptism is now to take place spiritually in a symbolic Jordan. We get down to this Jordan by humbling ourselves to the new spiritual era. By letting go of the literal and taking hold of the spiritual. The word Jordan means to descend, to go downwards, or conventionally to a lower region, which the tribe of Judah illustrated by separating from the tribes of Israel, becoming the kingdom of the south, situated geographically downward, in a lower region, from Israel. Judah of the Gentiles, Pentecostals, separated themselves from Israel of the Gentiles when it came to baptism. By humbling themselves to the true water baptism, this Gentile Judah symbolically entered the Jordan, being physically baptized into the physical name in the physical era of Isaac. Judah of the Gentiles brought the name up to Jerusalem symbolically through baptism in the name of Jesus. The reign of Judah, Pentecostals, began in 1905 and ended in 1975, seventy years [Daniel 9:24], tying in with the seventy weeks. They, as the Jews of Judea, were given seventy years to bring in righteousness through the assimilation of truth, finishing their transgression and ending their sin or iniquity. Jews and Christians have both failed to obey the spiritual word of God. The veil of religious iniquity remains, holding up God’s holy seed, and polluting His holy name. The Jews failure to assimilate spiritual truth through spiritual obedience to God’s spiritual law was manifested in the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70AD.  

The iniquity that caused Judah of the Gentiles to mock God’s Word had to do with the promise of what they would receive following their baptism, this Pentecostal iniquity spreading like a fire gone out of control. When the iniquity of the mind is not overcome through the conception of truth in the heart, it forms into a false belief. Judah of the Gentiles took the iniquity to the next level, from a thought of the mind to a belief of the heart. Judah failed to drive the inhabitants out of the Promised Land, as Judah of the Gentiles failed to drive the unholy spirits and false beliefs out of that spiritual promised land called the heart…  All the false religious images formed from God’s Word over the past two thousand years, makes up the heavy yoke of bondage the religious peoples of the world serve under. This spiritual bondage is symbolized by the physical bondage the children served under in Egypt. The heavy yoke symbolizes the oppression that comes with accepting these false religious beliefs in the heart, so many carnal interpretations being assigned to spiritual truth. Some give reverence to a God on earth they call Father, when Jesus said, “Call no man your father upon the earth”… Some look to the clouds for the return of Jesus, believing in a rapture that will take them out of the “time of trouble” that is already upon the earth. All of this religious iniquity, causing so much confusion, and adding to the spiritual flood of evilness that comes with putting our trust in these man-made images; in these false gods.

The oppression of Rehoboam, the king of Judah, symbolizing the spirit of the Heart, exists in us all, and the ruler we have vested with absolute power is our fearful, angrily-controlled, selves. The spirit of the heart is anger, which leads to oppression, and has many of us beating our flesh into subjection, working and exercising our bodies to exhaustion in support of some false image, which we worship in exchange for a false sense of empowerment. This is not the authentic power of the heart, which the spirit of fear and humiliation stripped us of long ago, but a spurious power that brings false peace of mind. Our children suffer oppression and violence, starving their bodies and cutting their flesh, witnessing to the internal anger and pain of their heart. We fear that what we eat and drink will pollute our bodies, when Jesus makes it perfectly clear that it is not what enters our body that defiles us, but what proceeds out of our heart; the unholy spirit of anger, which works with the unholy spirit of control that feeds off the unholy fear of our mind. The word Rehoboam means a people will enlarge. It was the tribe of Judah that enlarged among all the tribes, as it is the doctrine of Pentecost, Judah of the Gentiles that has enlarged, being accepted by the majority of mainstream Christians. Proclaiming out of the spirit of impatience that they are born again and saved, Israel and Judah have finally become one, but not for the good. 

As the world leaves the era of Isaac, which is associated with Judah, and enters the era of Jacob, which is associated with Zion, it is time to leave behind the mockery of God’s Word. This is done by replacing the carnal interpretations assigned to scripture over millennia through the man-made doctrines of religion, with spiritual interpretation, thereby restoring the spiritual teachings of Jesus. It is time to rend the spiritual kingdom of God out of the hand of its oppressors, which have absconded with its spiritual truths. Whether she is a false religious image that has spread throughout the earth, or a false self-image that has permeated our heart, Judah has enlarged her borders, her spirit enlarging to include fear, anger, control, and impatience. These are the four earthly spirits; the four beasts or living ones that stand before the throne, symbolizing the heart, preventing us from living our authentic lives. Judah’s spirit of impatience, which grows stronger and stronger with each generation, is keeping us in spiritual and physical debt as we continue to demand immediate spiritual and physical gratification. It’s a spirit that is causing great mental, emotional, and physical oppression, oppressing the soul.

The Bible contains the history of the Judeo-Christian religion. There is an Israel and Judah of Judaism.  And an Israel and Judah of Christianity, whose history is encoded in the stories of the Old Testament.  Israel was called Judah after passing through the Red Sea, receiving the name through a type-and-shadow baptism. Judah is associated with the name.  Jesus, of the tribe of Judah, said that he came in his Father’s name.  Jesus was called the Son of God.  The surname of the father is carried on through the son.

“In Isaac shall the seed be called.” Hebrews 11:18.   Jesus, the seed of God made flesh, the word called meaning to bid, call forth, whose surname was called.  It was in the literal name (assigned to the Father in the carnal era of Isaac) that the people were to be baptized.  But now, in what is the spiritual “era of  Jacob,” it is in the spiritual name that we are to be baptized.  Jacob was called Israel, the sons of Jacob (Genesis 49) revealing the spiritual process through which one becomes a son of God, having the spiritual name, through which one meets the requirements of the carnal law.  “A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.  Deuteronomy 23:2

The Israel of Christianity is Catholic and Trinity.  The Judah of Christianity is Pentecost.  What separated the two can be seen in their baptisms.  Pentecost, Judah of the Gentiles, baptized “in the name of Jesus,” which came by revelation in the early 1900’s, and is the true baptism.  Catholic and Trinity baptize “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” an illegitimate baptism, as no man has the power to baptize us of the Son or of the Holy Spirit, which are spiritual baptisms.  Israel and Judah separated when it came to water baptism, but they were of one when it came to the spirit that had rule over them, a king symbolizing a spirit.  “And Jehoshaphat [king of Judah] said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.” 1 Kings 22:4.  The word horse means to skip; a swallow (from its rapid flight).  The spirit of the horse is impatience.  The JUDAH of Judaism got impatient while waiting for Moses to come down off the mount, during which time they built a false image, breaking God’s spiritual law; a transgression that placed them under the carnal law.  The JUDAH of Christianity got impatient while waiting for what Moses symbolizes, which is the holy Spirit, which Paul told them they would receive once they believed and were baptized.  “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? Acts 19:1,2. 

But it was not the Holy Spirit they would receive.  It was the gift, which the holy spirit delivers— a teaching of the revelation of 1960.  “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38.  Paul turned the truth into a lie, causing Christians to build a false spiritual image. In accepting the lie, we are committing spiritual adultery because our spiritual husband is truth.  Israel and Judah of the Gentiles committed spiritual adultery by accepting Paul’s Great Lie.  “And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.” Jeremiah 3:8. According to the words of Jeremiah, God was married to Israel and Judah.  There was an intercourse or communication that took place between God and this Israel and Judah of the Gentiles.  The unholy spirit that caused them to commit spiritual adultery was their impatience with regard to what they were promised, encoded in the story of Judah, whose daughter-in-law played the harlot due to impatience when it came to what she was promised.

The Israel and Judah of Christianity have become one, but not for the good, ruled by the same unholy spirit of impatience, the spirit of Judah, which has caused them to skip over the spiritual or internal works that would bring them into the exalted state they are proclaiming out of impatience.  According to the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah they are not born again and saved a doctrine that has spread throughout Christianity.  Those that have accepted the “born again and saved” lie are JUDAH, which has caused their mind to enter a false peace, which JERUSALEM (in this context) symbolizes.  This is the JUDAH and JERUSALEM of which Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesied.
