During Sunday Evening Story-Time with the ‘teaching elder’ on August 29, 2010, he surprised me again with another change of doctrine! He said, ‘One day you will be walking in new Jerusalem .... and Obediah will come up to you and ask you what you thought of his book in the Bible.’ What?! Now, he’s sliding the ‘body of Christ’ saints INSIDE new Jerusalem?! He also said, ‘Hey, Moses, Aaron, Solomon, etc. You’re going to know them.’
Paul, the apostle of the Gentiles (Rom 11:13), taught the churches (Gal 1:2), that we all have new Jerusalem as our mother:
Gal 4:21-31 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. (This truth was prophesied in the scriptures:)
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: (physical Israel under the OLD testament - the ministration of death and condemnation - 2 Cor 3:5-17) for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. (spiritual Israel made up of Jew and Gentile as ‘one body’ under the NEW testament - the ministration of the Spirit and righteousness, of which we are able ministers)
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Since my break away from the Cunning Royal Jester, I learned ALL God’s saints will be in new Jerusalem, but I never heard HIM admit it before.
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
To walk in Jerusalem just like John.
This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
