The Mystery of Christ
What you are about to read is so shocking, that there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 1 Peter 4:12,13 "Beloved, think not it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happen unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings: that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." Where by, when you read, you may understand the knowledge in the mystery of Christ which has been hid from ages and generations, and shall now be revealed; but in a manner that was completely disallowed by the thoughts of men, but chosen of God, and precious. Now he told us this, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. What is written here reveals the thoughts of God from his words, that reveals the knowledge of God. It is from here the power of God will be released and rule over the nations, and they will learn of war no more. But it's all up to the ministry. For God has put it in their hands, as it is they who teach the ways of God. But if God's thoughts and way have been taught in error, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: then they must be strong enough to endure the reproofs of God to this end. For God said, "Turn you at my repoof: behold, I will poor out my spirit unto you, I wil make known my words unto you." Now this is the day all the teachers of God's words have strived for, But if He comes in a different manner from man's thoughts and man's ways, who is man to fight against it?
Acts 5:38,39 "If this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught: But if it be of God, ye cannot over through it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God."
Now God has so designed his great works of words,
that it is only necessary to discover God's thoughts in one certain word that opens the door to the knowledge of God.
Now, a word has many meanings, so how can we be sure it is God's meaning in the word? By listening to the counsel of God's written words concerning His thoughts in His words. Proverbs 8:8,9 "All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge." Psalms 12:6 "The words of the Lord are pure words." Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is pure." Pure is not mixed with anything else. Therefore, they have a single sound pertaining to good only, and not affected by the baser meanings of the word.
Now that we understand the principle by which his words are to be understood, let us examine the meaning in this one word that made man an offender. And that's just what God said, for it is written Isaiah 29:21 "That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught," Now the word that made man an offender is "subtle". Let us look at the thoughts man took from this one word. I have heard them preach wily, cunning, and crafty from the word subtle. Wily implies an aptitude for attaining an end by a secret devious means. Cunning implies getting around a person. Crafty implies more secret devices then cunning, and often suggests a skill at deception. But God said, "there is nothing froward or perverse in his words." These are not the thoughts of God, they are the thoughts of men. Let us look at the pure thoughts in the word with nothing froward or perversed in the meaning. The word subtle is given to or characterized by very fine mental distinctions. Sharpness of perception and analysis. Now, he was not just subtle, but more subtle, more, being even more greater in very fine mental distinctions and sharpness of perception. Here we have a good and evil thought from a word of God. It is here we have to choose good, or evil. It's all up to man. Romans 12:21 "Be not over come of evil, but over come evil with good." St. Matt. 12:33 "Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit." And if any mind is misled because of the word "beast", as he was more subtle than any "beast" of the field which the Lord God had made, then let him put this to mind, Jude 1:10 "But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themsevles." Becuase they used man's thoughts in such words and do not search out the thoughts in which God uses these words.
In the beginning, God first let man read his great works of words to see what he would call them. And man called subtle to mean wily, cunning, and crafty, which has made it appear that God put, or let, this stumblingblock in the path of man to test him. When instead it was their help meet that was not found. For when God said, "I will make him an help meat for him," it was done. Because 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness." Now there was no help meet found and so they did not know it was he who was helping them understand, and because he spoke, he was counted as an enemy of God. Therefore, if what was believed beguiled them from paradise, was instead correcting them of there error of the two trees, then mankind has traveled down through the ages holding good for evil, Psalms 35:12 "They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul," which could only lead them to a dead end. And that's exactly where mankind stands today. Therefore it is imparative they return here again and look upon this in a knew light while we still have time. For the arms race is on, and only a race of searching the very core of this abomination that has made the garden of paradise desolate can this knowledge of God be found to overcome. For this is the day that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet St. Mark 13:14 "But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand.)"
And this is the day that was spoken of by the prophet Joel, that it would be as the Garden of Eden before you, to live it all over again for a second time. For it is written
Heb. 9:28 "unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Isaiah 57:14 "Prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people." 1 Peter 2:6,7,8 "Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, behold, I lay in si-on a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which he disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and the stone of stumbling, and the rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient; where unto also they were appointed." Here is the stone of stumbling and rock of offence where they turned aside the just for a thing of nought. What is this thing of nought? It is the thing they say is causing all the evil in the world, it is a Devil. But it is plainly written, St, John 8:49 "I have not a Devil." But because of their froward and perversed meaning of the word, "subtle", they have imagined a thing of nought. All this because of man's judgement of a word, Romans 5:18 "Therefore as by the offence of one judgement came upon all men to condemnation," even so by restoring God's thought in the word, the free gift will come upon all mankind unto justification of life. Now here is the place that caused religions to be, it is this same place that will cause God's knowledge to be. It is also the place were two ways meet. It is the place that is ever against you, and it is the place where no man has yet sat, on the just that has turned aside for a thing of nought. It is written in Revelations that "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." And here is that spirit of prophecy.
St. Mark 11:2,3,4 "Go your way into the village over against you: And as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him, and if any man say unto you, why do you this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway will He send him hither. And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place were two ways met; and they loosed him." Now if you go to the 3rd chapter of Genisis, as soon as you enter into it, you will realize this is the place that is over against you, and you see the just whereon never man sat; loose him, for the Lord has need of him "and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand." Job 6:29 "Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea return again, my rightiousness is in it." For in him was yea only and not yea and nay. 2 Cor. 1:19 "For the son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheous, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea." But the begotten Son of God said, St. Luke 12:51 "Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather divisions."
Job 33:14 "For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not." Where did God speak once, yea twice, and man perceiveth it not? The words of God answer that question, it says, "when deep sleep falleth upon men," This was in the Garden of Eden when deep sleep fell upon mankind and he slept: Job 33:16,17 "Then He openeth the ears of men, and sealith their instuctions, that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man." And it was in the Garden of Eden where God spoke once, yea twice, yet man perceived it not. For He first spoke to enquire of her understanding of the trees, and upon hearing her answer, it was necessary to speak the second time for her correction. For he, having even more then very fine mental distinctions, knew she did not understand. For she should have said, "of every tree of the garden thou may freely eat: but of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it," but instead she said, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden" thou shall not eat of it. Now the Tree of Life was in the midst of the garden, and if he had not spoken for their correction, they would have never eaten of the Tree of Life which God commanded them. But they did eat of the tree but thinking it was the one they should not eat of. And the eyes of them were both opened. It is taught that this was the work of the Devil, St. John 10:21 "These are not the words of him that hath a devil. can a devil open the eyes of the blind?" Job 30:26 "When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness."
St. Luke 12:28,29 "But if I cast out devils by the spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you, or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, execpt he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house." Now God wanted to know just how this could be possible? For if God is all powerful, just how could a devil enter into God's beautiful garden of eden, and spoil his goods, except he first bind God? Now if you can see this abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not, then you should also understand this is the Isaiah 46:10 "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do my pleasure." And so the just, who was turned aside for a thing of nought, and was made the least in the kingdom of God by their iniquities, shall become the greatest, Isaiah 52:13 to 15 "Behold, my 'serpent' shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high, as many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: so shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouth at him; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider."
This has not been told before, and this was not considered before, that it was he in the 3rd chapter of Genisis, the garden of God, where every precious stone was: even the stone the builders rejected. St. John 19:41
"Now in the place were he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid." But because of the Jews preparation day, they laid Jesus there. It is like the Mark Twain story of the Prince and the Pauper? Let's let the great works of God's words tell this story according to God's instructions.
Isaiah 28:10 "For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little:" Romans 11:24 "For if thou were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?" Romans 11:25,26,27 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, there shall come out of si-on the Deliverer:" Where is si-on? or, how do they read the words of God? Job 12:11 "Doeth not ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?" or do they read them with the eye of sight and look out into this war torn world for God's stronghold? or point to a hill in Jerusalem? And completely ignore the heavenly city of God's beautiful Garden of Eden, created by his great works of words, which God is protecting with a flaming truth to keep the way of the Tree of Life. 2 Cor. 3:14 "But their minds were blinded; for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament;" which vail is done away when they understand the mystery of Christ. For it was in the Garden of Eden where the mother of all was created. Ezekiel 21:30 "Shall I course it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou was created, in the Land of thy nativity." From the word they choose evil instead of good, for "by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire(truth) against the day of judgement." It is by God's written words that created the first born thoughts of God's ways. It is by God's written words they know of God. It is by God's written words he speaks to all mankind that all may know what he said. But if it is thought that the great works of God's words, including the letters, is speaking to the people back there, then you cannot receive the thoughts of God: as God is always in the preasent. So until they let his great works of words speak to them face to face, they cannot receive the thoughts of God. It is by the written words of God he will reveal his Deliverer, for he said, Isaiah 55:11 So shall my words be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." And this, the great works of God's words is the good olive tree, and the verses are it's branches.
How much more shall these branches of the Bible which are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree, then if I, with my own interpretation, graft these into this good olive tree.
Therefore, I should let the words of the Bible speak for themselves, and as scripture said, Job 33:5 "If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up." With precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little , and there a little. For how much better if their own branches interpret their own tree.
(This part of the story is told only by scriptures being grafted back into scriptures according to the rules of the good olive tree.)

They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. Isa. 14:29 "Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the Serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. Isa. 30:12,13 "Wherefore thus saith the Holy one of Israel, because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. Isa. 43:7,8,9 "For I created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: Who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? Let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, it is truth.
Isa. 53:1,2 "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the lord revealed?

Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Behold , he findeth occasion against me, he counteth me for his enemy;..

Job 13:1 to 11 "Lo, my eyes hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you. Surely I would speak to the almighty, and I desire to reason with God. But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? Will ye accept his person? will ye content for God? Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do you so mock him? He will surely reprove you, if you do secretly accept persons. Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? Job 13:17,26 "Hear diligently my speach, and my declaration with your ears. Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I should be justified. Who is he that he will plead with me? for now,
if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee. Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid. Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me. How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my trasgression and my sin. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. Job 31:29,30 "If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him: Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by whishing a curse to his soul. Job 31: 33,34 "If I covered my transgression as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom: Did I fear the great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence,
and went not out the door? Prov. 8:34,36 "Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors."
