What is Our Purpose in New Heaven & Earth

Intro:

I just want to make this one thing clear so that Hearing from the Spirit will not be taken wrong. I agree that the scriptures from the Old and New Testament’s are the authoritative word of God especially on the conduct of life we are to live that was shown to the writers of the New Testament. What I meant in this article is that if we can hear what the Spirit is saying in regards to what the types foreshadowed in scripture so that we can know what their antitypes are in the Spiritual realm and that is about all I would say that we know need to know that should be taken equally as authoritative if what is revealed is actually hearing what the Spirit of God is saying. I’m just saying that as my own personal conviction coming from within my own conscience and it does not have to be yours.

Any personal thing between God and someone does not mean it is necessarily authoritative for the rest of mankind and should not be taken that way.  Many self proclaimed prophets today are nothing less than puppets for the False Prophet who was cast into the Lake of Fire alive and their words have no authority at all.

1 This article will be about the foreshadowings in The Feast of the Sabbath Day. 2 Those who claim to be Full Preterist who believe in the Israel Only View are sadly mistaken to believe that God’s redemptive plan was only for Ancient Israel. 3 Ancient Israel was only set apart so that types and shadows could be applied to them as a light for the rest of the world to see in a time when most other nations were not in tune to the true God and worship other gods that came from the minds of men who ate from Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. 4 So God used types and foreshowing from the Tree of Knowledge to be a light into the Spiritual realm of the Tree of Life which was the antitype or the reality of Spiritual things for the New Heaven and Earth post AD70.

5 All the things in the scriptures that used imagery or that were signified as in Revelation 1: 1, types and foreshadowings were fulfilled by the end of the Age in AD70 and that was the beginning point when all things were made new for the New Heaven and Earth when all of the types were fulfilled with Spiritual realities.

6 Those things that were literal physical things, foreshadowed the new things that were to come are also called types and the antitype is the fulfillment. 7 The types and foreshadowings came from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. 8 The antitype is the fulfillment of those things and they come from the Tree of Life. 9 The Tree of Life was not accessible until Christ came to redeem mankind back to a Garden of Eden state where the gates were open to the Tree of Life which happened in AD70 at the end of the Old Age when the Old Heaven and Earth were burned up with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. 10 This was also the beginning of the new Age that was to come when all things were made new.  11 In Isaiah 51: 16 God uses the word terms of planting the Heavens and laying the foundations of the Earth in a way that does not mean the literal Heavens in the sky and the whole planet called Earth. He uses those terms to mean His Old Covenant Government for the Heavens and in the promised land of Israel for the foundations of the Earth.

Isaiah 51: 16 And I have put My words in your mouth;

I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,

That I may plant the heavens,

Lay the foundations of the earth,

And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’ ”

12 If the Old Heaven and Earth were not destroyed as Full Preterist believe then Ancient Israel would still be under the Old Covenant and would be required to keep all of the 613 laws within it. 13 Even Jesus said that the Old Covenant laws would remain til Heaven and Earth passed away:


 Matthew 5: 17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

14 It took the time of the old Age to come to a complete end in order for all things to be revealed  with the final destruction of Jerusalem and their Temple in order for us to be able to interpret what they would mean in the Spiritual realm for us today in our daily lives. 15 During the time of the last days of the old Age the saints were waiting for things to be revealed or made manifest according to:


 Romans 8: 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Romans 16: 25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began 26 but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith—

Ephesians 3: 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

Ephesians 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the [a]edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

16 Israel was being used by God after He sanctified them so that He could show how His Kingdom would be in the Spiritual realm after the end of the Age post AD70. 17 It was not just for the people of Israel but for all of mankind as we can see more so in the final Feast of Tabernacles. Israel had laws that were given them by God through Moses. 18 The Gentiles according to the results of mankind becoming like gods and knowing good and evil according to their own thoughts aside from God’s ways also had laws but those laws were unto themselves like how nations of the world have their set of laws because they are gods and do not serve the one and only true God. 19 We can see that in Zechariah 14 God clearly called all the 70 nations plus that came out from the Tower of babel who were offspring from Noah to attend the Feast of Tabernacles.

Zechariah 14: ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. ¹⁷ And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. ¹⁸ If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. ¹⁹ This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

20 Ancient Israel had 613 laws given to them by God during the old Age before AD70 when the Heaven and Earth that they knew came to an end. The main set of laws were the Ten Commandments. 21 Most nations of today have some of the Ten Commandments in their laws such as do not murder, do not steal and bear false witness against your neighbour.  22 Other laws like do not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.” and honour your father and mother are set values in most societies. 

23 Most the Ten Commandments seem to be optional laws like the keeping of the Sabbath Day as a day of rest, You shall have no other gods before Me, You shall not make for yourself a carved image and serve them, You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain and You shall not commit adultery. 24 These other laws in the Ten Commandments seem to still have value for most people today. 25 The Sabbath is the only law that is not valued or kept except for a few religions that believe in keeping it as a requirement to an Old Covenant law because they separate moral laws from ceremonial laws.  26 However it is clearly stated that the 613 laws were one law and if you broke one you were guilty of all.  27 The Sabbath was a type the only one of the Ten Commandments that had an antitype to come which is resting and abiding in Christ. I’ll just say this that if a person was to keep all of the Ten Commandment moral laws perfectly does not mean that that person has any of the fruits of the Spirit or the ability to love.  28 The Ten Commandments only restricted a person from doing them.

29 Even though as I have stated that the Ten Commandments were the Mark of the Beast. 30 Ancient Israel was the clay that was mixed with iron  which was Roman according to Daniel 2 and Jeremiah 18:2 states that Israel was the clay therefore I believe that Ancient Israel was also the second Beast in Rev. 13. 31 The Ten Commandments were to be written on the hand or forehead which is where the Mark of the Beast was on the hand of head. 32 The number of the name of the Beast was Nero the Caesar of Rome at the time when Jerusalem was surrounded by the Roman armies. The letters of Nero’s name add up to 666 in the Hebrew language.


33 The Sabbath Day of the Lord was a sign that Israel was set apart or sanctified. The words sign, seal and mark can mean the same thing in the scriptures. 34 The Sabbath was a type that foreshadowed resting in Christ and by having the fruits of the Spirit had become the way that others would know that a person was set apart or sanctified in Christ. 35 When we are at rest in Christ the fruits of the Spirit will be flowing out of our lives to everyone around us and we will reap the goodness of it as well as be a blessing to others and this is the Heavenly state which we are to live in and the place where Christ went to prepare for those who love Him. 36 So many believe in a physical Heaven and resurrection are being cheated by false doctrines about God’s Kingdom that they may never see the truth and remain in Outer Darkness for the rest of their lives. 37 Then in the afterlife have everything they believed in get burned up to ashes in the refining fire where the Beast and false Prophet are figuratively speaking that is.

Matthew 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. I Never Knew You

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

38 When we are at rest in Christ which the antitype of the Sabbath Day was, there are a few things that are to be considered of all that it implies. 39 This is not something that we do all day and everyday though it is possible, but we do fall short of His Glory when we are doing somethings that do not reflect His character. 40 It’s kind of like when Adam and Eve only fellowshipping with God in the evenings when it was nice and cool outside and not so hot as when we are going through the refine fire. 41 When we are doing our duties of work during the day and when our minds are not so in tune with God we are focused on other things so we may not be at rest in Him. 42 Same thing when we are doing something that is wrong we will find out whether we like it or not or whether we believe in it or not those things require going through the refining fire and we will not be at rest until we deal with it and confess our sin. 43 There were a few things that aside from not working on the Sabbath back in the old Age was that they were not allowed to kindle a fire. 44 Image that if the Sabbath was the law of the land like it was for Ancient Israel but for all people everywhere that people could freeze to death who live in the colder places on the Earth if they were not allowed to start a fire to keep warm.

Exodus 35:3 You shall kindle no fire throughout your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

45 As we look further into the fire as a type not permitted to kindle on the Sabbath Day it speaks to me as in when we are going through the refining fire we are being tested even our faith. 46 When we are at rest in Christ it can be seen as in the case when in Daniel 3 when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were thrown into the furnace where God is the consuming fire. 

Daniel 3: 25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”.

47 Here are a few verses of what was to happen during the first coming of the Lord which at the end of the Age was a total destruction of the Old Heaven and Earth but the fire remains in a figurative sense because God’s presence is associated with fire like when He gave the Ten Commandments and on the Day of Pentecost. 48 We are in a Spiritual sense like what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego with the other person like the Son of God.

Luke 12: 49“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

Mark 9: 49“For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

Matthew 3: 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

49 When we are at rest in Christ, I believe it can be said that we are also abiding in Christ and this is a fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles where God dwells with all of His people who also came from all of the other nations from Noah that were required to attend that Feast. Either way whether resting and or abiding this has been made possible for those who are in a faith relationship with Christ. 50 No one else can do so for this is only possible to those who are the true Israel of God. Ancient Israel was destroyed along with all the records of their ancestry. 51 The true Israel of God was the remnant of Ancient Israel and the Gentiles from all of other nations who came to Christ and became the Bride of Christ at the second appearing of Christ. 52 Everyone else into todays world since AD70 were born as Offspring to the Bride and Groom and have Jesus Christ “Immanuel” as our Everlasting Father instead of Adam as the father of mankind and are known as The Manifested Sons of God. 53 Even though we today have the freedom to as whether we will serve the King of kings or serve Satan the king of the Under World where Satan has to bow down and confess that Jesus is LORD. God’s Kingdom has three domains and everyone is a member of His family. 54 There is the New Heavenly realm where we are at rest in Christ and this speaks of the Most Holy Place according to the pattern of the Temple in typology. 55 There is the New Earth where we all go through the refine fire which reflects to the power of Pentecost and this speaks of the Holy Place. 56 Then there is the Under Earth where the Beast and the False Prophet are in the Lake of Fire and this speaks of the Outer Courts or Outer Darkness.

Abiding in Christ

57 In John 17 just shortly before they took Jesus Christ to be crucified He went to go pray. 58 He first prayed for Himself as seen in verses 1 to 5 and His main focus throughout the chapter was on being sanctified and being one with the Father and abiding in Him. 59 Then He prays for His Disciples for the same things in verses 6 to 19. Then He goes on the say that He does not pray for the Disciples alone, but also for those who will believe in Him through their word.

John 17: 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”


60 It would be nice if all of us who believe in Him through faith could be in this state 24/7 but realistically I see it as a time of meditation as well as times when we tune into Him and allow His presence into our lives when we are doing whatever we do. 61 I have experienced this many times and when I do the things that I do always has a better results when I have the Spirit of the King of kings and Lord of lords operating in my life is much more enjoyable and I’m at peace. 62 I’ve been asked before what is Full Preterism all about and how does that benefit mankind today and I would sum it all up with this article right here where we are allowing the Spirit of God into our lives and abide in Him as the Feast of Tabernacles foreshadowed. 63 Sadly most of Full Preterist today just take you to AD70 and show you how everything was fulfilled that was spoken by the Prophets of the old Age and spend a lot of there time debating with others instead of edifying one another like a Berean would who studies the Bible to see if things mean what people say.


64 We do not have a new Bible for the New Heaven and Earth so things have to be revealed that were hidden in order for us to see the Kingdom of God and all that it implies. 65 During the time from the cross to AD70 they were being set free from the bondage of the Spiritual death Adam brought to all of mankind that was shown in the Spring Feast according to Leviticus 23. 66 They were four of the Feasts of the Lord that were fulfilled from the time of the death of Christ and His resurrection to the Day of Pentecost. 67 In the Fall Feasts of the Lord there were three of them that were still yet to come and they did come in AD70 which the Bible clearly shows in the book of Daniel’s timeframe in chapter 7. 68  That is what actually happened in history as recorded without putting a 2000 year gap in it like futurist do. 69 It does not go beyond that into what the New Heaven and Earth would be unless revealed by the Spirit of God to whom He chooses to reveals things to. 70 Maybe the Hidden Manna that John wrote about in Revelation 2: 17 plays a role in what this is about. 71 The hidden manna and the white stone John mentioned may have some meaning to what the saints were waiting for things to be revealed or made manifest according to what was to be revealed for the new Age that began in AD70. 72 When we are at rest in Christ and abiding in Him here are some things that can happen to us as Manifested Sons of God set apart from the world and declare God’s will in a present tense way so as not to be in bondage to the things that were from the old Age including the transitional period of time when many of the things that the saints had going on were to also end in AD70. 73 In 1 Cor. 13 it lists the Gifts of the Holy Spirit that would end as well as the things that the Outer Court represented in types such as blood sacrifices and water for baptism. 74 The first century Church was to leave behind those things in a similar way the children of Ancient Israel had to leave the manna that they ate for 40 years behind when they finally entered into the promised land which was a type of the New Heaven and Earth. 75 Revelation 11:2 says not to measure the Outer Court for a reason while the gentiles were trampling down on it while the True Temple that is Spiritual and in Heaven remained in tach without the Outer Court.


76 Let that a look at what is said here especially to what is says about doctrines and connect them with the Hidden Manna :

The Compromising Church

Revelation 2: 12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,

‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’

The Hidden Manna


77 When it comes down to false doctrines they are dealt with by revealing the truth. 78 In John 6: 35 Jesus said that He was the bread of life speaking in context to being the manna from Heaven after speaking on the times of Moses in the wilderness and the people eating only manna for 40 years which was in type of the 40 years from the cross to AD70.


79 In Matthew 16: 6Then Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” Jesus was making His Disciples aware that what the leaven or doctrines of the Pharisees and Sadducees would spread or cause an influence on other people and not bring life like what manna which was unleavened. 80 Truth will remain set or fixed because truth can only be one thing while a lie can spread out into many forms and get twisted in it’s maze.

 
81 There is so many false doctrines out there about what people think about the End Times and the second appearing of Christ and how things will be in the New Age. 82 The Book of Daniel has the timeframe for those events to happen but Daniel was told to seal up the book until the end of time.

Daniel 12: 4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

83 Then John was told to open the Little Book for the the time of the end of the Age was at hand and eat it as if it was manna that tasted sweet as honey.

Exodus 16:312 And the house of Israel called its name Manna. And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

John Eats the Little Book

Revelation 10: 8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”

9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.”

And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

10 Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. 11 And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”

Urim and Thummim

84 Did the White Stone in Revelation 2: 17 represent the Urim and Thummim…?

Exodus 28: 30 And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. So Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.

85 The Urim and Thummim were two stones one was white and the other was black and each stone had some word written on them. 86 Considering some of the scholars’ conclusion that Urim essentially means “guilty” and Thummim essentially means “innocent”, this would imply that the purpose of the Urim and Thummim was an ordeal to confirm or refute suspected guilt; if the Urim was selected it meant guilt, while selection of the Thummim would mean innocence. White stone also meant yes and the black stone meant no.

87 Here are a few examples of how the Urim and Thummim were used during the Old Covenant when it was not clear as to what God’s will was. 88 It is interesting to note that Zionism or modern day Israel can not preform the requirements of the Old Covenant laws because there are no records of a registered genealogy and especially for a Levitical Priesthood as well as there is no Temple for them to start sacrificing animals again. 89 Can you just imagine the outcry from other nations if they started killing innocent animals again or finding it acceptable with the Islamic community to destroy their Dome on the Rock in Jerusalem without a rage that would end up in a nuclear meltdown of the whole area. 90 Maybe that would end all of this madness in the world with religions being at war with each other today if it were to happen.

Nehemiah 7:64 These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled. 65 And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim.

1 Samuel 28: 6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.

Deuteronomy 33: 7 And this he said of Judah:

“Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,

And bring him to his people;

Let his hands be sufficient for him,

And may You be a help against his enemies.”

8 And of Levi he said:

“Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one,

Whom You tested at Massah,

And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,

9 

Who says of his father and mother,

‘I have not seen them’;

Nor did he acknowledge his brothers,

Or know his own children;

For they have observed Your word

And kept Your covenant.

Numbers 27: 21 He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire before the Lord for him by the judgment of the Urim. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, he and all the children of Israel with him—all the congregation.”

91 I believe that the Urim and Thummim were two stones that were a type and the antitype is  in accordance to what Jesus said in Revelation 2: 17 17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says. 92 When we are at rest in Christ and His Spirit is abiding in us there is no reason why we can not hear what the Spirit is saying. 93 The opposite is true as well that if we are not resting in Christ nor have His Spirit abiding in us we could be hearing things from the False Prophet who is in the Lake of Fire.
