The Great Exchange

Part XVI

As we continue the present series on how the LORD exchanges His divine nature for our finite existence, we have explored how the events in this world form a reflective “shadow” of Spiritual reality (the “substance”) in  the heavenlies.

“Knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance” (Hebrews 10:34).

We have further identified the Spiritual powers which move through the agency of Spirit, Flesh, and Blood as Life, Death, and Hell. In prophetic metaphor, which utilizes various similitudes for the three identities, the Word of God tells us our Spiritual existence is either in Christ, in Death, or in Hell.

Multiple texts address various aspects of being IN CHRIST:

“The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin [a euphemism for Hell] and death” (Romans 8:2).

At the same time, a multitude of Scriptures reference various characteristics of existing IN DEATH:

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death” (I John 3:14).

Finally, we find strange verses in both testaments, which prophesy of various aspects of “hell,” in ways that seems unfathomable. For instance, the following verse indicates that in some mysterious way, the righteous king David was IN HELL:

“[David] seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell” (Acts 2:31).

As noted in a previous chapter, the difficulty is in our perception of Hell. The verse in the book of Acts in the New Testament is quoting a Psalm of David (Psalm 16:10), who is clearly seen to be stating the Lord will not leave David’s soul in Hell. As we’ve repeatedly stated, multiple euphemisms (such as the pit, or the grave) point to a metaphoric application.  

David’s Psalm is simply treating “Hell” (sheol in the Hebrew) as the equivalent of the grave, without a distinction between the two principalities of Death and Hell.

The great king clearly knew the LORD would not leave him in the grave; but Luke’s recitation of that same Psalm in the book of Acts, connects David’s perception as a prophetic anticipation of the resurrection of Jesus.

It is interesting to note how the New Testament speaks of Christ’s great victory, which is achieved through His death, even as those same texts speak of how His glorious triumph is proclaimed to those who are bound in “prison” – with prison another one of many similtudes for Hell.

The Apostle Peter addresses Christ’s resurrection, and His victory was trumpeted to those who were in prison:

“Christ…suffered for sins…[was] put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached [read heralded victory] unto the spirits in prison” (I Peter 3:19).

As just stated, the “prison” that is mentioned is yet another similitude of Hell.

Indeed, the triumphal announcement made to those in “prison,” is the fulfillment of Christ’s mission objectives (articulated at the very beginning of His earthly visitation), when He read the messianic prophecy of Isaiah to His generation:

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound” (Isaiah 61:1).

It is self evident that a momentous change occurred at the resurrection of Christ, for the New Testament again references a Psalm of David as predictive of the resurrection, as it tells us that God will take “captivity” (still another euphemism for Hell) “captive.”

”Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive” (Psalm 68:18).

Back in the New Testament book of Ephesians, once again the Holy Spirit, anointing the Apostle Paul, connected the resurrection with the Psalms – and once again the text notes how Christ descended into the “prison” to proclaim that He has conquered Hell:

“He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens…Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men” (Ephesians 4:10, 8).

At least one of the “gifts” connected to the release from captivity is plainly stated to be the eternal Life, given to the believers, from God.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8).

In this study, we’ve repeatedly diagrammed how Death and Hell are a pair of principalities, which we’ve dubbed the Perdition Engine, because of the symbiotic way in which they function together. Thus, it’s not a stretch to recognize that when Christ conquered Hell, He also conquered Death. This is why the various texts tell us that His resurrection is connected to taking “captivity captive” (Ephesians 4:8).  

When we examine Christ’s victory over Death, we find a subtle shade in the text which is quite revealing. In a previous chapter of the Great Exchange, I noted the fact that the three powers of Life, Death, and Hell have multiple Scriptural references that evidence a puzzling connection to personality.

Life is obviously personified by the person of JESUS CHRIST, and the chapter in which we examined how sin is equivocated with Hell, clearly stated that “sin” (read Hell) was a similitude of a mysterious “him” that coveted the soul of Cain.

“Sin [is] at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, [but] thou [must] rule over him” (Genesis 4:7).

In the epic verse in Revelation, where we encounter the rider of the Pale Horse, we learn that his name is Death, and that name is actually capitalized in the grammatical sense that it is a proper name.

“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him” (Revelation 6:8).

The word “death” occurs over 300 times in the Bible, but only two verses capitalize the name, so the context of those two verses is indicative of the unusual presence that is being probed. I’ve just cited the instance of the Pale Horse rider, and that verse is embedded with clues concerning his sequential appearance – which we shall return to at some point in the present work. 

The other instance is again connected to the resurrection. Contextually, this references the time when those who believe in Christ have died, and the living believers in Christ are abruptly changed into a physically incorruptible state.

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

“When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” (I Corinthians 15: 52, 54).

Obviously, these verses have been hijacked by the Cult that Kidnapped Christianity, which deceitfully uses chronology to obscure identity. The fraud committed by the Rapture Cult has never been about timing, it is about who is saved (manifesting Life), who is unredeemed (manifesting Death), and who is deceived (manifesting Hell).

Thus, when the various texts tell us that Christ defeated Hell – by conquering “captivity” (another similitude of Hell) through living a sinless Life (with sin another euphemism for Hell), and because “Death” is activated by “Hell,” His victory over Hell resulted in the resurrection – the triumph over Death. 

Because this point is so crucial, I’ll restate it in a different way. The Bible says that it was through one man that sin (read hell) arrived.

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Roman 5:12).

Since Death entered into the world by sin, in order to defeat Death, sin must be conquered. Thus, by living a perfect, sinless life, and then becoming the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, Death was defeated. Through this process, Christ paved the path for “all Israel” to do likewise. 

With the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Death has already been defeated in the eternal realm of the Spirit, but awaits the externalization of the Spiritual power of God, when the Lord chooses to bring the “shadow” that is this world, to an end.

“For the earnest expectation of the [entire creation] waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19).

This “manifestation,” which is conclusively stated to apply to the “sons of God,” is tied to the glorious event when the Life of God which we presently enjoy in the Spirit, is extended in a physical sense to every one of the LORD’s sons and daughters.

“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (I John 3:2).

In addition to the sequential aspects of prophecy in the formula known as the 6, 7, 8 Cycle (which we examined in the last two chapters of The Great Exchange), the New Testament further tells us that a physical resurrection of our existence is still ahead, as Christ is referred to as the “firstfruits” – an agrarian term referencing the first results of a harvest.

“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end…” (I Corinthians 15:22, 23).

When Christ defeated Death and was resurrected, the dark powers of Death and Hell again sought to assert themselves against those the LORD redeemed. Neither entity has the power to negate the gift of Life in Christ, but the Perdition Engine is still functional in this world, as Hell (read the Spirit of the False Prophet), using its characteristic of Deception, still seeks to draw those who have escaped Death into voluntarily submitting themselves to the power of Death (read the Spirit of Antichrist).

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled [a euphemism of Hell] again with the yoke of bondage [another euphemism of Hell].”

“For if after they have escaped the pollution of the world [Hell again] through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ [the Life of God], they are again entangled therein [more Hell], and overcome [still more Hell], the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” (Galatians 5:1; II Peter 2:20).

Christian Media has an eye-opening, on-demand video elaborating on the crucial facts seen in the above article — which also includes predictions concerning the enormous turn of events associated with the present political tumult in America – especially with reference to the American recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the political state known as Israel. 

That video will be posted on our second channel on the Sunday Shift. We also publish a weekly news synopsis summarizing what has occurred each week.

This news is also posted on our news site, ChristianMediaDaily.com which has links to our various  media outreaches.

In addition to this, twice a week (Wednesdays and Sundays), we publish a companion letter commenting on the material seen in each chapter of THE GREAT EXCHANGE. The latest edition of that letter (entitled the Christian Median MINISTRY STATUS REPORT - MSR), has even more prophetic projections concerning the amazing explosion of prophetic understanding which has occurred at the Christian Media ministry, and it includes the most recent information pertinent to the Remnant that are the Christian Medians. 

Further, we have additional video materials online dealing with Health and Survival, as well as yet another regularly issued video which identifies specific False Prophets the believer should avoid.

Viewing of the online video we transmit on our video channels is completely free (as is the receipt of this weekly Communique), and we greatly desire as many as possible will see it (a new video will replace it in another week), but we do not want to “cast [our] pearls before swine” (Matthew 7:6). There are those who partake of the Spiritual blessings bestowed on us from the LORD, yet they feel no motivation to help us reach others with this eye-opening truth.

Such routinely seek to cleave to us with flatteries, thinking their agreement with the LORD’s perspective equals support.

“Such as do wickedly against the covenant shall [be] corrupted by flatteries” (Daniel 11:32).

We’ve found the electric company as well as our many Internet providers do not accept flatteries as payment!

Further, because there are many vested interests which are threatened by the content the Christian Media ministry provides, regular efforts are made to penetrate our ranks – including hacker attacks.

Incredibly, we’ve already proven that “Christian” parties have actually hired hackers to attack our websites (Galatians 4:29). Thus, we desire to weed out those who are insincere about further examinations of the truth of the Gospel, so we send the links to our Internet materials via surface mail.

As we move through the Spiritual wilderness behind the veil of this world, even our Internet domains are subject to be seized by the dark powers, so we urge all those who hear the voice of the LORD in these Communiques to seek the LORD while He may yet be found. As those who have inherited the light of God through Christ’s marvelous work,

“[We] must work the works of him that sent [us], while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4).

If you have requested our Internet links, and still have not received them, if you send an email to the above Email address (notify@giveusmessage.info we will confirm with you that the ministry email (usually 5 per week) have been sent, and the obstacle is usually YOUR Internet provider (the one you pay—not the free email firms like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc – so they have YOU paying to be censored!) is blocking our bulk servers because they subscribe to lists provided by “anti-spam” organizations that tell your ISP who to block. Further, as many Internet Service Providers (ISP) illegally censor Christian material, when we send prophecy information to those who love the truth, and it “bounces” back because you are being censored (and you don’t know it, because you never see what is being held back from being delivered to you), we will print it out and mail it to you via surface mail so you can do something about it.

If you’ve already responded with your name and mailing address after receiving a prior issue of this Internet periodical, you do not need to reply again, as the links we send you through surface mail provide you with an offline record on how to access all of our websites.
