(The Truthgiver and the Truth)
(The Sower and the Seed)
The Truth is what we have to understand in our minds to conceive in our hearts. John 18:38 Those who accept The Truth have Faith, and those who have Faith believe in the Gospel that saves. Colossians 1:5-6, Ephesians 1:13
The Truth is what has long been distorted, suppressed, and exchanged at the request of the masses. Acts 20:30, Romans 1:18, 1:25 Because of this, we have been ever learning without coming to the knowledge of The Truth. 2Timothy 3:7 For this explicit reason, we need to rely on the basic meaning of Faith to arrive to the meaning of The Truth. Let us recall the basic meaning of Faith: Romans 10:17 “So faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
This passage reminds us of the parable of The Sower, which describes the word of God to be the Seed and The Word of God to be The Sower. This also remind us of The Truth that, when it comes by hearing, brings forth the Faith. That is, when Faith arrives, the promised Seed (The Sower and the Seed) arrives. Galatians 3:19 Certainly, although the Seed may perish when accepted, The Seed will never perish once accepted.1Peter 1:23,1John 3:9
The Seed is therefore The Truth that comes to life when it is accepted as one, inasmuch as Faith is The Truth that comes to life when The Truthgiver and the Truth are accepted as one. As simple as this was meant to be, The Truth began to be distorted once the enemy planted another seed. This is precisely what The Messiah foretold: Matthew 13:24 “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Brothers, it is impossible to understand this passage from the Weeds that stand between the soil and The Seed. You see, this passage actually speaks about the vast difference between those who accepted The Seed of Truth (the Wheats) and those who, thereafter, accepted the seed of the enemy (the Weeds). Matthew 13:38 The Messiah goes on to reveal the meaning of the Weeds as follows: Matthew 15:12 “Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
The Weeds are therefore those who through some form of distortion, suppression or exchange, have been preaching anything at the request of the masses. To the untrained eye, some Weeds look similar to the Wheats even as some of the soothsayers, to the untrained ear, sound similar to the Truthsayers. But now the time has come to separate the Weeds from the Wheats for the upcoming Harvest. Matthew13:49-50, 2Corinthians 11:12-15,Ephesians 5:13-17
To make sure none of the children of God are missing, the Gospel that saves is coming to us with a very loud trumpet.John 10:27-29,Revelation 4:1 Thankfully, it is also coming with more than enough understanding to help us be ready for the upcoming Harvest. John 15:16, James 1:18 This greater understanding requires that we enhance the meaning of Faith in a manner long recorded but never revealed before, until now.Matthew 24:14
When we do this, we notice that within the identity of the Truth, there is an inherent purpose. We also see that within the identity of The Truthgiver, there must be His inherent purpose.Romans 8:3-4,1John 3:8 Let us see the identities with their respective purposes in the order Faith is acquired:
level 1. The faith in the identity of The Truthgiver
level 2. The faith in the identity of the Truth
level 3. The faith in the purpose of the Truth
level 4. The faith in the purpose of The Truthgiver
These levels are the enhancement of The Truth found in step one and, for this reason, similar to the golden model, they also come in pairs. How so?
Those who accept the identity of The Truthgiver and the identity of the Truth receive enough understanding to get started; this is how man is called. level 1 and 2 Those who accept the purpose of the Truth get started; this is how man enters the discipline of his Repentance. Whereas only those who accept the purpose of the Truth with the purpose of The Truthgiver end what they started; this is how man is chosen. level 3 and 4 This, to a magnified level, is The Truth that sets us free, the Faith that saves, and The Seed that gives us birth to Righteousness.John 16:25 Let us look at the four wonderful levels in detail.
Level 1
Identity of The Truthgiver
The Sower
The Truthgiver is The Son of God, also known as Jesus of Nazareth, The Messiah prophesized to be the lasting Atonement for the Sins that had earned the wages of our second Death. Hebrews 10:9, Isaiah 53:4-5, Galatians 4:4-5 For this Atonement to be everlasting, the death of The Messiah required a subsequent resurrection that we believe to have taken place on the third day, as foretold. Psalms 16:10, 1Corinthians 15:3-8 Soon, The Son will return to establish all righteousness on earth as it is in Heaven.Matthew 6:10, Hebrews 9:28
This faith is what every professing Christian claims to uphold. Unfortunately, when they have not fulfilled their purpose, The Savior will not fulfill His purpose. Perhaps someone might claim to have already believed in The Savior who saves but as long as Sin is present, Faith cannot be present.2Corinthians 13:5
As we can see, this identity without the respective purpose does not serve much of a purpose anymore than knowledge without obedience has helped the spirits of disobedience.James 2:19 In a few words, the respective purposes are the fulfillment of their respective identities and for this reason, when level 3 and 4 are accepted as one, The Seed is accepted as one.
Level 2
Identity of the Truth
the Seed
We know a truth is a generally accepted statement or a generally accepted fact. We also know that when man defines a truth, his measures often lack absolute value and sometimes-even fact.
In contrast, when God provides a truth, it is given with absolute value and consequently stands the test of time. Proverbs 30:5-6, Matthew 24:35 This brings us to understand why Faith comes by hearing the word of God exclusively from The Word of God.
Of all the absolute truths, the Law is the only Truth that God wrote with His own finger. Exodus 31:18,Mark 4:3 Because of this immutable fact, the Seed is not left for interpretation but for acceptance or rejection, for our benefit or our demise. Anyone who thinks that he can repent to his own law and receive his own faith is following another Jesus and serving another god. Malachi 2:10, Luke 18:18-20, Acts 20:21, Romans 3:29, Ephesians 4:5,2Corinthians 11:4
The Law is the foundation of Repentance from the acts that lead to Death.Romans 2:20,Hebrews 6:1, 1John 3:4Through the Law, we become aware of Sin and consequently are able to Repent from Sin. Romans 3:20, 7:7 Brother, this brings us to meet at a crossroads, either you continue to roam around in a minefield of darkness or you enter the only narrow road to the only Gate out. Jeremiah 6:16-19,2Peter 2:15,Colossians 1:13 The choice is yours since you are the one who has to live by it or Die from it. Job 34:33, 1Corinthians 15:56, Hebrews 10:28-29
As your heart determines your own destiny, remember this: Once the gift of The Spirit is given to the man that is Forgiven, why would God bother to place the Law in his heart unless it is to enable him to uphold it permanently? Hebrews 10:16, 1Corinthians 9:21, Matthew 5:17-18 Do you not know that what took place on Mount Sinai is as meaningful today as it is symbolic? Ephesians 4:14
Certainly, just as the physical people of Israel were called to the physical Promised Land when the physical Law was given, the spiritual people of Israel are called to the spiritual Promised Land when the spiritual Law is given. Romans 7:14 In much the same way, those who chose to never return to Egypt are similar to those who choose to never return to Sin.Ezekiel 29:16,Acts 7:39, Jude 1:5
Incidentally, because the Law was given-to and delivered-by Moses, Moses was considered the physical representation of the spiritual Truthgiver even as the two tablets were the physical representation of the spiritual Truth. For this reason, that meeting took place on a mountain to remind us that, much like The Truthgiver and the Truth descended from Heaven, Moses and the Law descended from the holy mountain, the physical heaven. Exodus 3:5, Psalms 43:3, Zechariah 8:3 Time would pass before this duality would revert to the original spiritual order for The Seed to Work in us a further refinement. 2Chronicles 5:10, 2Corinthians 3:3, Ephesians 3:16-17
The Law given to us directly from The Lawgiver is therefore the sign that we have been called, for only the Law holds the commandments that point to The God who is not so obvious. The commandments that are not so obvious are those that determine the difference between the Gentile who is called and the uncalled or yet to be called. For this reason, when a Gentile is called, he is initially drawn to the commandments that are not so obvious.
Before we reveal two of the commandments that are not so obvious, let us continue with the next two levels. Thereafter, we will come back to confess The God we claim to profess. Ephesians 5:17
Level 3
Purpose of the Truth
The purpose of the Law is to lead us to The Redeemer of the Law. Galatians 3:19 To be redeemed from the Law, we need to be under the Law. Otherwise, we cannot say that we are no longer under the Law if we were never under the Law. Galatians 3:21-25, Romans 3:19 This is one of the reasons The Messiah first arrived to the children of the Law since only the children of the Law could be redeemed from the Law. Matthew 15:24
Once we accept the discipline of the Law, we are to use it as the Lamp of Truth to enter the protection of The Light. 1Timothy 1:8 By upholding every commandment, we use the Lamp accordingly to face The Gate. James 1:25, 2:12 As we keep walking towards The Gate, Faith will take over to finish what we started. Romans 8:3 Thereafter, The Seed will remind us why the Lamp is no longer needed once we are in a room full of light. Romans 7:1-7, 1Corinthians 2:5, Galatians 3:24-25, 2Samuel 22:29
Understanding this, if the Law defines “The Righteous requirements” that Faith accomplishes, “Do we then make void the Law through Faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law.” Romans 3:31, Romans 6:14, Romans 8:5-10
Level 4
Purpose of The Truthgiver
Brothers, which is easier to believe: The Messiah died on the cross or The Messiah resurrected from the dead? The same question applies to the faith in the identity of The Truthgiver and the faith in His purpose, where the first can be evident by the things we say while the second only evident by the things we do. Titus 1:16, 1John 3:18 So what the Righteous do gladly is due to the Faith that was made complete by what they did when they believed. James 2:22, Galatians 3:5 Otherwise, that faith would be futile if they remained in Sin. 1Corinthians 15:17
Brothers, the four levels that we are now hearing have long been recorded and will now be revealed to us by The Lampstand of God. To see this, the golden model needs to be brought to life.
The height and breadth of the golden Lampstand models after The Son of Man. Exodus 25:32,25:40, Daniel 5:5, John 8:12 This helps the professing Christian see why the seventh step means Salvation while, at the same time, it helps the professing Jew to understand why YHWH is Salvation.The main body is therefore symbolic of the main Root, the main Shoot, and the main Firstfruit, where the branches are symbolic of the way to God and what we are to become.Romans 11:18, Isaiah 53:2, Acts 26:23 And how are we to get there?
Through the four levels found within The Lampstand of God. John 14:6 These levels are recorded on the main body of the golden model as four cups shaped like almond flowers. Exodus 25:34 They represent the Faith that saves, where the full count represents The Savior who saves. In other words, the 22 cups, recorded throughout, represent the letters of the Hebrew/Aramaic alphabet and thus symbolic of The Word of God, where the four within are symbolic of The Seed within. Mark 4:3, Luke 8:11, Revelation 19:13
Through the irreducible components of the Faith that saves, we are now able to see why the Word of God mirrors The Word of God and why the Law remains within The Seed (1, 10, 10, 1). Jeremiah 31:33, Psalms 37:30-31, 2Corinthians 3:3, Revelation 22:13 Why the detail?
How else is the Gentile to understand why the soil is worthless without the Seed? How else is the Jew to see why the Seed is worthless without The Sower who brings the Seed to life? Jeremiah 1:11-12, John 15:22, 1John 2:23 So it is true, that Faith comes by believing what we heard and because of this, we are saved by Faith or condemned by the lack thereof. Galatians 3:2, Ephesians 1:13, 2Thessalonians 2:12, 1Thessalonians 2:13, Luke 11:28
Through the four levels of the Faith that saves, every individual is now able to determine his whereabouts. Now we are able to see why most professing Christians believe only in the identity of The Truthgiver and why most professing Jews believe only in the identity of the Truth. Because of this, the Gentile cannot put into effect the purpose of The Truthgiver without the Truth, while the Jew cannot put into effect the purpose of the Truth without The Truthgiver. 1Corinthians 1:23
Unlike the faithful to Religion, those who belong to The Truth obey The Truthgiver and the Truth. 1John 3:18-24 Brothers, the passage just referenced is difficult to understand due to the puppets that led us astray. These puppets have gone out of their way to exchange the word “commandments” with the word “commands” to prevent the masses from coming to the knowledge of the Truth. John 14:15
But even after someone overcomes the puppets that led astray, on the way to the road unto Righteousness, that individual encounters the puppets that block the way. These puppets are there to make sure that no one who knows the Truth comes to the knowledge of The Truth.2Timothy 3:7, John 5:39-40 Sadly, this is how the adversary works the puppets to the left and to the right to make sure that not a single slave escapes his trap. 2Timothy 2:25-26, 2Corinthians 4:4
For this reason, we need to come to the knowledge of The Truthgiver through the Truth inasmuch as we are to come to the knowledge of the Truth through The Truthgiver. So then, through the Law we get to know the commandments that describe The God we are to follow. Before we shed light on the two commandments that are evidently missing from the uncalled, let us learn how we are to get started once we receive our calling.
Once we become aware of the Law, we are to ponder on the Law to fall in love with it. Psalms 119:18, 119:34, 119:97, James 1:25 There is a wonderful design to learn the Law; the design of our hands serves to help understand the Law. Romans 7:16 Let us see this by raising our ten fingers with the back of our hands facing us.
The Law begins with the greatest commandment of which the second, third, and fourth primarily report-to in a very spiritual way.The fifth commandment bridges our relationship between our parents and our brother. Then the sixth begins with the most important commandment between our brother and us. As we move forward, we see how the commandments between our brother and us report to the tenth commandment of the Law in a very spiritual way.
Notice that as the second, third, and fourth commandments determine whether we obey the first, the six through the ninth determine whether we obey the tenth. This is how the Law begins and ends very spiritual. Nevertheless, because we are physical, the Law provides enough physical commandments to avoid any physical misinterpretations.
Once we learn the Law, we need to get started with the objective to end what we started. The discipline of the Law is similar to the training required to escape the trap of the enemy. Hebrews 12:11 We are aware that when a slave calls out his intentions to escape the slave master, he cannot end what he started. For this reason, he is to train in silence without giving a foothold to the enemy. Ephesians 4:27-28
Soon after he begins training, he should plan the date of his rescue with The Savior. Then, without giving notice, he runs as fast as he can to enter the narrow road where the enemy cannot follow. Therein, he will find The Wonderful Savior who will end what he started. Hebrews 12:2
Those who know the Law need to remember that, because of the puppets that blocked the way, they could not end what they started. Therefore, they do not need any discipline but Faith. Hebrews 11:6, Acts 3:19-20 For this reason, they need to overcome the men that block the way to end what they started. Matthew 18:8-9, Hebrews 12:4, James 4:7-10, John 12:35, 1Corinthians 15:34
Praise be to God and His wonderful mercy that we are now being made aware of our obstacles to make ready a people for The Truth. Luke 18:8
It appears that when the Gentile picks up his bible to read the Law, he begins with the first commandment and immediately pauses to take a break. Upon returning, he resumes with the fifth commandment thinking he has not missed a thing. Because of this selective reading, he misses the commandments that allow him to know The Truthgiver. Of these that are missed, there is none more abused than the second commandment.
The affinity to idolatry continues to blind man from obeying the commandment that is inherent with The God we are to know. The Messiah reminds us of this when He speaks to a woman that is not of Jewish origin: John 4:22 “Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” Because God is a Spirit, we are to worship Him in spirit and because God is Truth, we are to approach Him accordingly.
Here is how we are to approach The Father: Exodus 20:4 “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” This commandment is so powerful that it sheds more than enough light to most of the illusions associated with idolatry.
Think about it, to bow down to that which we cannot see goes against all that we expect to see. Absent of this commandment, we would continue to seek The Spiritual through the physical. This commandment cannot shed enough light if observed alongside Religion. We find this evident even with the children of the patriarch.
We are aware that most of the Arabs design their temples to face a city that was never holy or true. As such, when they bow down, they do not realize they are breaking the commandment they love the most even up-to five times a day. Malachi 1:6, Mark 7:9
The same bodes with the children of the Law who, after thousands of years of constant reproach, still look to the physical to find The Spiritual. Besides the pagan star that they constantly uphold, they turn to a wall hoping God will answer their prayers. Really brothers, does it take two thousand years to see that God has already answered our prayers? Unfortunately, where they have not chosen to lead, the Gentiles cannot follow. Romans 2:24
The professing Christian is in no better terms in better shape. With varying degrees, the label is as broad as the spectrum of idolatry, where some bow down to idols others carry them. Consider a passage recorded in the book of Jeremiah about a practice that began thousands of years ago and now hiding under a new label: Jeremiah 10:3 “For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.”
Notice how Scripture describes this tree as an idol that does not speak nor has the ability to walk. This idol has been accompanying the professing Christians for so long that it is now deeply rooted in their hearts. Because of their refusal to change, how is God ever going to save them?Judges 10:13-14
Everything about this event is pagan; the date, the tree, the mistletoe, the star, and even the gift giving during this period are all pagan.Amos 5:26 Being thoughtful that a Gentile is not bowing down to this tree, he is still breaking the second commandment by bringing this idol into his home and honoring the whole event in the name of God. Deuteronomy 7:26, 12:31
We know the practicing of this pagan event is no casual uttering of the mouth as
