THE GREAT EXCHANGE Part XXXVII
In our last
chapter of The Great Exchange, we showed how the prophetic
understanding of the Triuniverse can bridge the gap between the
Non-Millennialists and the Literal/Futurist systems in perceiving the
Scriptures. Once again,
the Amillennialists fail to see the reality of Future prophecy covering
the Christian era, and the Futurists fail to see the present reality of
the Kingdom of God in JESUS CHRIST.
By
emphasizing the Futurist fantasies of the Rapture Cult, the Futurists
refuse to acknowledge the prophetic events that are unfolding in the eternal
NOW, and how they profoundly affect the body of Christ. Simultaneously, by
claiming Revelation’s 1,000 year Earthly reign of Christ (Revelation
20:4) is actually the entire Christian era, virtually all sequence found in
Scripture is nullified.
Amillennialists
sometimes note the fact that the Christian era – which has now been
intact for roughly 2,000 years – is double the figure of
the Literal Millennial Reign of 1,000 years, as stated in the text
– but they usually fail to recognize the significance of this anomaly.
Regarding
the difference between the 1,000 years specified in the text, and the actual
2,000 years of the Christian era which has elapsed, ironically, Amils sometimes
quip they’ve received a “double portion” – not
realizing they are inadvertently on the right track. The
prophecies of the Bible provide extensive evidence of the supernatural
phenomena of doubling. This principle is applied in the holy text
as both a blessing, or a curse, and it is significant as it directly impacts
the subject of time.
The concept
of doubling is usually found in the context of a prophetic
metaphor, but as the events which the allegorical prophecies are forecasting
come to pass, they occur in a physical, or literal sense.
Moreover,
the prophecies themselves are doubled. A fascinating
example of this is found in the book of Isaiah. In those awesome
writings, the prophet is speaking of Jerusalem.
“Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her
warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received
of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins” (Isaiah
40:2).
Because this
is a rather complex subject, a bit of context is in order. Isaiah
was a contemporary of King Hezekiah of Judah, who was a good king. In
Hezekiah’s time the kingdom of Israel had already been divided, with
Samaria in the North, and Judaea in the South.
Samaria had already been sacked as the
Northern tribes had been carried off by the Assyrians before Isaiah’s
time, but the Babylonian Empire of Nebuchadnezzar that
sequentially followed the Assyrian Conquest had not yet arisen to
attack Jerusalem.
Thus, the
Northern Israelites (in Isaiah’s time they were called the Samaritans)
had endured significant warfare at the hands of Egypt and Assyria,
the two earliest opponents of Israel – but Jerusalem was spared from the
devastation of the Assyrians. However, after Isaiah’s time, the
“quartet” of kingdoms prophesied in Daniel came to dominate
Jerusalem. This subservience was inaugurated by the first of the four
kingdoms seen in Daniel’s epic account, which were imaged in the four
kingdoms of Nebuchadnezzar’s famous dream.
“Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This image’s
head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his
thighs of brass [and] his legs of iron” (Daniel 2:31, 32).
Daniel
interprets the dream as forecasting the four great kingdoms
of Babylon (the head of gold), the Persian Union
(the silver arms), the Macedonian/Greek Empire of Alexander the
Great (the brass torso and thighs), and Rome (the iron legs).
One after
another, these four kingdoms all dominated Jerusalem
for about 600 years – as opposed to the two kingdoms of Egypt
and Assyria which profoundly impacted the nation before
the rise of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome.
“Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her
warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received
of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins” (Isaiah
40:2).
Not only was
Jerusalem dominated by twice (or double) the number of kingdoms
that plagued the Northern Israelite tribes of Samaria, the prophet said “her
iniquity is pardoned” – which speaks of the grace received
through Jesus Christ, after the doubled number of
kingdoms, terminating in Rome, had come to power.
Although the
Futurists, under the influence of the maddening wine poured out by the Rapture
Cult (Jeremiah 51:7), fraudulently seek to twist the time
when the kingdom of God arrives to the last generation (supposedly concurrent
with a modern day, ten king confederation), Daniel tells us it is in the
days of the quartet’s kings the kingdom of God arrives.
“And in the days of these kings [the only four kings
mentioned in the text] shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which
shall never be destroyed…and it shall stand forever” (Daniel
2:44).
Thus, it is
after the four kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome have
come that the Saviour of Israel arrives to “pardon”
Jerusalem’s iniquity.
Moreover,
the prophecy that says Jerusalem received a “double”
judgment is even more astonishing when we realize that Isaiah penned this epic
prophecy even before the time that Babylon rose to become a world power! And
there is more.
Much
earlier, Assyria had been told by Jonah that in 40 days God would
judge their kingdom because of their arrogance -- but surprisingly they
abruptly repented, and the wrath of the Lord was averted.
“So the people of Nineveh [the capitol of Assyria] believed
God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them,
even to the least of them. And God saw their works, that they turned from their
evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he said that he would do unto
them; and he did it not” (Jonah 3:5,10).
By the time
of Isaiah, the Assyrians had forgotten about the LORD’s
warning and, in an untimely attempt, they surrounded Jerusalem with a vast
army, and planned to take it, as they were at the peak of their power and it
was the last city they had not yet conquered.
The LORD
knew that Judaea would ultimately turn away from Him and follow in the apostasy
(and subsequent judgment) of her Israelite brethren in Samaria. However, in
spite of her deteriorative condition and lukewarm relationship to the Lord,
Judaea still had a few good kings (such as Hezekiah, Josiah, and others) who
sought to lead the people back to the LORD.
Incredibly,
long after the days of Jonah, Isaiah was a witness of the last
stages of the Assyrian Conquest, as he saw the events occur in what is usually
called real time. Although the LORD was to spare Jerusalem from the
threat of the Assyrians, the Spirit of the LORD also inspired Isaiah to issue
the prophecy about a doubled judgment which could not even begin
to fall on Judaea in his time.
As a result
of Assyria’s disregard of the warning of the LORD, the entire Assyrian
dominion came to its end, as the main force of their military was abruptly
decimated in one night. A detailed account of the divine intervention,
including the observations of Isaiah himself concerning the Assyrian threat, is
found in II Kings chapter 19.
However, for
the sake of brevity, the epic finale of the story may be summed up in one
verse.
“Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of
the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose in
the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses” (Isaiah 37:36).
In this
stunning encounter wherein the city of Jerusalem was no match for the
overwhelming might of Assyria, the foreknowledge of the LORD was a significant
factor. If Assyria had taken Jerusalem, the Word of the LORD, in which the
prophet said that Judaea’s judgment was to be doubled,
would have been rendered inaccurate.
“The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace
of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them O Lord, thou shalt
preserve them from this generation for ever” (Psalm 12:6,7).
To rephrase
this thought, because God preserves His word, and that word said that Judaea
was to receive a double judgment, as Assyria was one of the two
kingdoms the Lord had already used to judge the Northern tribes, an Assyrian
victory would have completely changed the equation.
What is
truly amazing is the very prophet who saw the Literal events concerning Assyria
unfold, was the very same prophet who spoke in the past tense concerning events
which were to strike the city in the future!
“Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her
warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received
of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins” (Isaiah
40:2).
This
mystical “doubling” goes even deeper and, as I noted earlier, it is
seen in Scripture as a doubled blessing as well as a doubled curse.
Moreover, it has an exponential effect on prophecy. Christian Media has
repeatedly sought to articulate how the six kingdoms of the age, which impacted
Old Covenant Israel, are doubled in the New Testament era.
Utilizing
the concept of Prophetic Parallels, we’ve sought to show
how the sequence of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and pre-Christian
Rome is doubled in the Christian era with the Holy Roman Empire
(paralleling Egypt), Imperial Spain (paralleling Assyria), the British Empire
(paralleling Babylon), the Soviet Union (paralleling Persia), Nazi Germany
(paralleling Greece), and America (paralleling Rome).
The
“Israel” that interacts with the 2nd set of Gentile
kingdoms is the “Spiritual house” (I Peter 2:5) that is the
born again, heavenly version of Israel – also known as the
“church” – which is the third part.
“And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two
parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left
therein.”
“And I will bring the third part through the fire,
and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried:
They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people:
and they shall say, The Lord is my God” (Zechariah 13:8,9).
When the New
Testament tells us that everything that happened to Old Testament Israel
occurred as an example to the people who were to become the body of Christ, we
don’t usually think of this as a doubled blessing –
yet that’s precisely what it is.
“Now all these things happened unto them as examples: and they are
written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the [Israelite age]
are come” (I Corinthians 10:11).
Obviously,
Israel was blessed in the Old Testament, but the blessing is doubled
as it was to be poured forth again in the Spirit – in the Christian era.
In the time
of the early Christians, the body of Christ was suddenly indwelled by the Holy
Spirit, and this event (known as Pentecost because it occurred at the time of
the feast of Pentecost), sealed the transition from the first of three phases
of Israel – as the door to heaven through the Old Covenant was shut (Matthew
25:10), and the door to the second of three phases of the Triuniverse
was opened.
“This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall
come to pass in the last days [of Old Covenant Israel] saith God, I will
pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream
dreams.”
“And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those
days of my Spirit: and they shall prophesy: And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts
2:16-18, 21).
As we are
now approaching the end of what could be called Phase Two, where Israel
continues to be Scripturally defined as “a Spiritual House” (I
Peter 2:5) exclusively comprised of those who are born again in Jesus
Christ, Phase Three in which we emerge as the “third part” (Zechariah
13:9) is already unfolding.
“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). -- James

To Be Continued _____________________________________ 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, including our 24/7 video channel CMRI.tv (Christian Media Remnant of Israel). 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. That letter (the MSR) is reserved for those who help sustain the ministry even as visitors are welcome. Further, we have 24/7 Radio and Video Streams, as well as 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 three 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 power 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). To get our current Internet links, and receive full access to Christian Media materials, simply send your name and POSTAL mailing address to RemnantOfIsrael13@Gmail.com, or call our voice mail at 541/899/8888 with the same information. -- and we'll send you the links to the multiple websites Christian Media operates -- which freely host extensive written prophetic material, multiple radio and television programs, and the video related to the above prophecy article. If you have requested our Internet links, and still have not received them, if you send an email to the above Email address (RemnantOfIsrael13@gmail), we will confirm with you that the ministry emails (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!) 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 individual 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. ______________________________ Christian Media PO Box 1414 Medford OR 97501 541/899/8888 _____________________ |
