2024.02.05 ETI Bible Version – The Final Quest with Commentary and Mark-Up – Ch 1 to 3 available to read Online Created by James on 2/11/2024 4:16:47 PM Following on from my previous message about the Final Quest I have now added correct words and commentary to Chapters one to three together with mark-up of the passages that I consider most important. These are available to read on the website or download in pdf or Word docx format.
The visions of Rick Joyner reported in The Final Quest, are arguably the most important visions recorded in the 20th Century and quite possibly the most important visions on record (including the Bible). In particular the visions of the Throne Room and the Judgment in Chapter 5 contain information that is critically important to every human being on Earth today. Effectively as close to modern Scripture as I have encountered.
For this reason I have added The Final Quest as a third component of my rendering of the Bible – I regard it as being at least as important as the Bible in the present age. I have read the physical book at least ten times as an extension of my Bible study and have given away dozens of copies over the years. I have also written a number of articles drawing on what I have learned from these writings. In particular, “2024.01.03 Where will YOU Spend Eternity? With Commentary on The Final Quest -- Third Edition” [ETIV 35] is important collateral reading.

Chapter 1.1 -- Introduction
1 In early 1995, the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] gave me a dream, which was the first of a number of prophetic experiences tied together. 2 I published a condensed version of the first dream in The Morning Star Prophetic Bulletin and The Morning Star Journal, under the title of The Hordes of Hell Are Marching. 3 As I continued to seek the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] about this great spiritual battle that I had seen, I had a series of visions and prophetic experiences that were related to it. 4 I published condensed versions of these in The Morning Star Journal as The Hordes of Hell Are Marching, Parts II & III.
5 This series became probably the most popular writings we have ever published. 6 We were deluged with requests to have all three parts published together in a book. 7 I determined to do this and set about to fill in all that had been left out in the condensed versions. 8 However, just when I was ready to give this to our editing department, I had another prophetic experience that was obviously related to this vision, and contained what I felt to be the most important parts of all.
9 These are included in Parts IV ~ V of this book (some of Part IV was published in Part III in The Journal). 10 There is also a considerable amount of previously unpublished material in the first three parts of this book.
Chapter 1.2 -- How I Received The Vision
1 One of the most common questions that I receive about this vision concerns how I received it. 2 I believe that this is an important question, and therefore will attempt to briefly answer it here. 3 First, I must explain what I mean by visions and "prophetic [supernatural] experiences."
4 Prophetic [Supernatural] "experiences" as I call them are numerous and diverse. 5 They include all of the primary ways in which the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] has spoken to His people in the Scriptures. 6 Because the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] is the same today as He was yesterday, He has never ceased to relate to His people in the same ways, and these experiences continue to be found throughout Church [Assembly] history. 7 As the Apostle [Emissary] Peter explained in his sermon recorded in Acts Chapter Two, dreams, visions and prophecy are primary signs of the last days, and the outpouring of the Holy [Set-Apart] [Set-Apart] Spirit. 8 As we are obviously getting closer to the end of this age, these are becoming increasingly common in our time.
9 One reason why they are becoming so much more common now is because we will need them for accomplishing our purposes in these times. 10 It is also true that Satan, who unfortunately knows the Scriptures [writings] better than many Christians [Believers]s, also understands the importance of prophetic revelation in God's [Yah’s] relationship to His people, and he is therefore pouring out his own counterfeit gifts in great measure to those who serve him. 11 However, there would be no counterfeit if there was not a genuine reality, just as there are no counterfeit three dollar bills because there are no real ones.
12 Soon after I became a Christians [Believers] in 1972, I read this passage in Acts Two and understood that if these were the end times it was important to understand these ways that the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] would be speaking to us. 13 I do not remember praying to have the experiences myself at first, but I did begin to have them, which gave me even more impetus for understanding them.
14 Since that time I have gone through periods of time when they would be very frequent. 15 I have also gone through long periods of time when I would not have any such experiences. 16 However, after each period of not having them they would return, and were either much more powerful, or much more frequent. 17 Lately they have been both. 18 Through all of this I have learned a great deal about the prophetic [Inspired] gifts, experiences, and prophetic [Inspired] people, which I will address in more detail in a book soon to be released.
19 There are many levels of prophetic [Inspired] revelation. 20 The beginning levels include prophetic [Inspired]"impressions." 21 These are genuine revelations. 22 They can be extraordinarily specific and accurate when interpreted by those who are experienced and sensitive to them. 23 However, it is on this level that our "revelations" can be affected by our own feelings, prejudices, and doctrines. 24 I have therefore resolved not to use such expressions as "thus saith the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]" with any revelations that come on this level.
25 Visions can come on the impression level, also. 26 They are gentle and must be seen with "the eyes of our heart." 27 These, too, can be very specific and accurate, especially when received and / or interpreted by those who are experienced. 28 The more the "eyes of our hearts" are opened, as Paul [Shaul] prayed in Ephesians 1:18, the more powerful and useful these can be.
29 The next level of revelation is a conscious sense of the presence of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], or the anointing of the Holy [Set-Apart] [Set-Apart] Spirit, which gives special illumination to our minds. 30 This often comes when I am writing, or speaking, and it gives me much greater confidence in the importance or accuracy of what I am saying. 31 I believe that this was probably experienced by the Apostles [Emissaries] as they wrote the New Testament [Books from MattihYahoo to Revelation] epistles [letters]. 32 This will give us great confidence, but it is still a level where we can still be influenced by our prejudices, doctrines, etc. 33 This is why I believe, in certain matters, Paul [Shaul] would say that he was giving his opinion, but that he thought he had the agreement of l the Spirit of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]. 34 In general, there is much more of a need for humility than dogmatism when we deal with the prophetic [Supernatural communications].
35 "Open visions" occur on a higher level than impressions; they tend to give us more clarity then we may have even when we feel the conscious presence of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], or the anointing. 36 Open visions are external, and are viewed with the clarity of a movie screen. 37 Because they cannot be controlled by us I believe that there is far less possibility of mixture in revelations that come this way.
38 Another higher level prophetic experience is a trance, such as Peter [Kěpha] had when he was first instructed to go to the house of Cornelius and preach the gospel [Good News] to the Gentiles for the first time, and such as Paul [Shaul] had when he prayed in the temple in Acts 22. 39 Trances were a common experience of the biblical prophets. 40 Trances are like dreaming when you are awake. 41 Instead of just seeing a "screen" like in an open vision, you feel like you are in the movie, that you are actually there in a strange way. 42 Trances can range from those that are rather mild, so that you are still conscience of your physical surroundings, and can even still interact with them, to those where you feel like you are literally in the place of your vision. 43 This seems to be what Ezekiel experienced rather frequently, and what John [Yahoochanan] probably experienced when he had the visions recorded in the book of Revelation.
44 The visions contained in this book all began with a dream. 45 Some of it came under a very intense sense of the presence of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], but the overwhelming majority was received in some level of a trance. 46 Most of it came on the level where I was still conscious of my surroundings, and could even interact with them, such as answering the phone. 47 When they were interrupted, or when things got so intense that I would have to get up and walk around, when I sat back down I would immediately be right back where I had left off. 48 Once the experience became so intense that I actually got up and left the Mountain cabin where I go to seek the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], and drove home. 49 Over a week later I returned and almost immediately I was right back where I left off.
50 I have never known how to "turn on" such experiences, but I have almost always had the liberty to turn them off at will. 51 Twice, large portions of this vision came at what I considered to be very inconvenient times, when I had gone to my cabin to get some important work done while facing a deadline. 52 Two of our Journal issues were a little late going out because of this, and the last book I released I had hoped to finish a few months earlier. 53 But the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] does not seem to be very concerned about our deadlines!
54 In the dream and the trances, I had what I consider to be greatly magnified gifts of discernment and words of knowledge. 55 Sometimes when I look at a person, or pray for a Church [Assembly] or ministry, I just start to know things about them of which I have no natural knowledge. 56 During these prophetic [supernatural communication] experiences these gifts were operating on a level that I have never personally experienced in "real life." 57 That is, in this vision I could look at a division of the evil horde and know all of its strategies and capabilities at once. 58 I do not know how the knowledge came to me, but I just knew it, and in great detail. 59 In some cases I would look at something or someone and know their past, present and future all at once. 60 To save time and space in this book I have included this knowledge just as matter of fact without going into an explanation of how I got it.
Chapter 1.3 -- Using Prophetic [Supernatural] Revelations
1 I must state emphatically that I do not believe that any kind of prophet [Spokesman]ic [Inspired] revelation is for the purpose of establishing doctrine {JAR -- HUGE ERROR see footnote}. 2 We have the Scriptures [historical writings] for that. 3 There are two basic uses for the prophetic [Inspired experiences]. 4 The first is for revealing the present or future strategic will of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] in certain matters. 5 We have examples of this in Paul [Shaul]'s dream to go to Macedonia, and the trance in which he was told to immediately leave Jerusalem. 6 We, also, have examples of this in the ministry of Agabus. 7 One of these related to a famine that was to come upon the whole world, and the other had to do with Paul’s [Shaul's] visit to Jerusalem.
8 We, also, see such revelations being given for illuminating doctrine that is taught in the Scripture [Historical writings], but is not clearly seen. 9 The example of Peter's [Kepha’s] trance is one that illuminated both the will of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], and sound biblical[26] [important principles] teaching that the Scriptures [historical writings] were very clear about (the Gentiles being able to receive the gospel [Good News]), but which had not yet been understood by the Church [Assembly].
10 The visions in this book do contain some strategic revelations, and they also illuminated some biblical [historical] doctrines that I had honestly not seen before, but now see quite clearly. 11 However, most of the doctrine [teaching] that was illuminated to me in these experiences I have known and taught for years, even though I cannot say that I have lived them all very well. 12 Many times I thought about the warning that Paul [Shaul] gave to Timothy to pay attention to his own teachings. 13 Many of the words spoken to me in these experiences I have, myself, taught many times. 14 I know that I fail to practice some of my own teachings the way I should, and, therefore, many of these I accepted as a personal rebuke. 15 Even so, I also felt that they were general messages and I have included them here.
16 I was encouraged by some to write this as an allegory, in third person like The Pilgrim's Progress, but I decided against it for several reasons. 17 First, I feel that some would have taken this to be the result of my own creativity, and that would have been wrong. 18 I would like to be this creative, but I am not.
19 Another reason was that I felt that I could be much more accurate if I related it just like I received it, and I did my best to convey these experiences just the way that they were received. 20 However, I consider my memory of details to be one of my greatest weaknesses. 21 At times I have questioned my own memory for certain details in this vision, and I think that you should therefore have the liberty to do the same. 22 I think that this is right with any such messages. 23 Only the Scriptures [historical writings] deserve to be considered infallible. 24 As you read I pray that the Holy [Set-Apart] Spirit will lead you to the truth, and separate any chaff that may be present from the wheat.

Chapter 2.1 -- Part I, The Hordes of Hell Are Marching
1 The demonic army was so large that it stretched as far as I could see. 2 It was separated into divisions, with each carrying a different banner. 3 The foremost divisions marched under the banners of Pride, Self-righteousness, Respectability, Selfish Ambition, Unrighteous Judgment, and Jealousy. 4 There were many more of these evil divisions beyond my scope of vision, but those in the vanguard of this terrible horde from hell seemed to be the most powerful. 5 The leader of this army was the Accuser of the Brethren himself.
6 The weapons carried by this horde were also named. 7 The swords were named Intimidation; the spears were named Treachery; and the arrows were named Accusation, Gossip, Slander and Faultfinding. 8 Scouts and smaller companies of demons with such names as Rejection, Bitterness, Impatience, Unforgiveness and Lust were sent in advance of this army to prepare for the main attack.
9 These smaller companies and scouts were much fewer in number, but they were no less powerful than some of the larger divisions that followed. 10 They were smaller only for strategic reasons. 11 Just as John the Baptist was a single man, but was given an extraordinary anointing for baptizing the masses to prepare them for the Lord [Yahooshua], these smaller demonic companies were given extraordinary evil powers for "baptizing the masses." 12 A single demon of Bitterness could sow his poison into multitudes of people, even entire races or cultures. 13 A demon of Lust would attach himself to a single performer, movie, or even advertisement, and send what appeared to be bolts of electric slime that would hit and "desensitize" great masses of people. 14 All of this was to prepare for the great horde of evil which followed.
15 This army was marching specifically against the Church [assembly of Believers], but it was attacking everyone that it could. 16 I knew that it was seeking to pre-empt a coming move of Jesus Yahooshua? / Yah? which was destined to sweep masses of people into the Church assembly of Believers.
17 The primary strategy of this army was to cause division on every possible level of relationship—Churches [Assemblies] with each other, congregations with their pastors, husbands and wives, children and parents, and even children with each other. 18 The scouts were sent to locate the openings in Churches [Assemblies], families or individuals that Rejection, Bitterness, Lust, etc., 19 could exploit and make larger. 20 Then the following divisions would pour through the openings to completely overcome their victims.
21 The most shocking part of this vision was that this horde was not riding on horses, but primarily on Christians [Believers]! 22 Most of them were well-dressed, respectable, and had the appearance of being refined and educated, but there also seemed to be representatives from almost every walk of life. 23 These people professed Christians [Believers] [Believing] truths in order to appease their consciences, but they lived their lives in agreement with the powers of darkness. 24 As they agreed with those powers their assigned demons grew and more easily directed their actions.
25 Many of these believers were host to more than one demon, but one would obviously be in charge. 26 The nature of the one in charge dictated which division it was marching in. 27 Even though the divisions were all marching together, it also seemed that at the same time the entire army was on the verge of chaos. 28 For example, the demons of hate, hated the other demons as much as they did the Christians [Believers]s [and others]. 29 The demons of jealousy were all jealous of one another. 30 The only way the leaders of this horde kept the demons from fighting each other was to keep their hatred, jealousy, etc., 31 focused on the people they were riding. 32 However, these people would often break out in fights with each other. 33 I knew that this was how some of the armies that had come against Israel in the Scriptures [historical writings] had ended up destroying themselves. 34 When their purpose against Israel was thwarted, their rage was uncontrollable, and they simply began fighting each other.
35 I noted that the demons were riding on these Christians [Believers], but were not in them as was the case with non-Christians [Believers]s [Non-Believers]. 36 It was obvious that these believers had only to stop agreeing with their demons in order to get free of them. 37 For example, if the Christians [Believers] [Believer] on which a demon of jealousy was riding just started to question the jealousy, that demon would weaken very fast. 38 When this happened the weakening demon would cry out and the leader of the division would direct all of the demons around that Christians [Believers] [Believer] to attack him until the bitterness, etc., 39 would build up on him again. 40 If this did not work, the demons would begin quoting Scriptures [Bible and Other Verses] that were perverted in such a way that would justify the bitterness, accusations, etc.
41 It was clear that the power of the demons was rooted almost entirely in the power of deception, but they had deceived these Christians [Believers]s [Believers] to the point where they could use them and they would think they were being used by Jesus [not Yahooshua -- Yah]. 42 This was because banners of Self-righteousness were being carried by almost all of the individuals so that those marching could not even see the banners that marked the true nature of these divisions.
43 As I looked far to the rear of this army I saw the entourage of the Accuser himself. 44 I began to understand his strategy, and I was amazed that it was so simple. 45 He knew that a house divided cannot stand, and this army represented an attempt to bring such division to the Church [body of Believers] that she would completely fall from grace. 46 It was apparent that the only way he could do this was to use Christians [Believers]s [Believers] to war against their own brethren, and that is why almost everyone in the forward divisions were Christians [Believers]s [Believers], or at least professing Christians [Believers]s [Believers]. 47 Every step that these deceived believers took in obedience to the Accuser strengthened his power over them. 48 This made his confidence and the confidence of all of his commanders grow with the progress of the army as it marched forward. 49 It was apparent that the power of this army depended on the agreement of these Christians [Believers]s [Believers] with the ways of evil.
Chapter 2.2 -- The Prisoners
1 Trailing behind these first divisions was a multitude of other Christians [Believers]s [Believers] who were prisoners of this army. 2 All of these were wounded, and were guarded by smaller demons of Fear. 3 There seemed to be more prisoners than there were demons in the army. 4 Surprisingly, these prisoners still had their swords and shields, but they did not use them. 5 It was a shock to see that so many could be kept captive by so few of the little demons of Fear. 6 If the Christians [Believers]s [Believers] had just used their weapons they could have easily freed themselves, and probably done great damage to the entire evil horde. 7 Instead they marched submissively along.
8 Above the prisoners the sky was black with vultures named Depression. 9 Occasionally these would land on the shoulders of a prisoner and would vomit on him. 10 The vomit was Condemnation. 11 When the vomit hit a prisoner he would stand up and march a little straighter for a while, and then slump over, even weaker than before. 12 Again, I wondered why the prisoners did not simply kill these vultures with their swords, which they could have easily done.
13 Occasionally the weaker prisoners would stumble and fall. 14 As soon as they hit the ground, the other prisoners would begin stabbing them with their swords, scorning them as they did this. 15 The vultures would then come and begin devouring the fallen ones even before they were dead. 16 The other Christians [Believers] prisoners stood by and watched this approvingly, occasionally stabbing the fallen one again with their swords.
17 As I watched, I realized that these prisoners thought that the vomit of Condemnation was truth from Jesus [NOT Yahooshua -- Yah]. 18 Then I understood that these prisoners actually thought they were marching in the army of Jesus [NOT Yahooshua -- Yah]! 19 This is why they did not kill the little demons of fear, or the vultures—they thought these were messengers from Jesus [NOT Yahooshua -- Yah]! 20 The darkness from the cloud of vultures made it so hard for these prisoners to see that they naively accepted everything that happened to them as being from the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]. 21 They felt that those who stumbled were under God's [Yah’s] judgment, which is why they attacked them the way they did they thought that they were helping Jesus [NOT Yahooshua -- Yah]!
22 The only food provided for these prisoners was the vomit from the vultures. 23 Those who refused to eat it simply weakened until they fell. 24 Those who did eat it were strengthened for a time, but with the strength of the evil one. 25 Then they would weaken unless they would drink the waters of bitterness that were constantly being offered to them. 26 After drinking the bitter waters they would then begin to vomit on the others. 27 When one of the prisoners began to do this, a demon that was waiting for a ride would climb up on him, and would ride him up to one of the front divisions.
28 Even worse than the vomit from the vultures was a repulsive slime that these demons were urinating and defecating upon the Christians [Believers] they rode. 29 This slime was the pride, selfish ambition, etc., 30 that was the nature of their division. 31 However, this slime made the Christians [Believers] feel so much better than the condemnation that they easily believed that the demons were messengers of Jesus [NOT Yahooshua -- Yah], and they actually thought this slime was the anointing of the Holy [Set-Apart] [Set-Apart] Spirit.
32 I had been so repulsed by the evil army that I wanted to die. 33 Then the voice of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] came to me saying, "This is the beginning of the enemy's last day army. 34 This is Satan's ultimate deception. 35 His ultimate power of destruction is released when he uses Christians [Believers] to attack one another. 36 Throughout the ages he has used this army, but never has he been able to use so many for his evil purposes as he is now. 37 Do not fear. 38 I have an army too. 39 You must now stand and fight, because there is no longer any place to hide from this war. 40 You must fight for My kingdom, for truth, and for those who have been deceived. "
41 This word from the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] was so encouraging that I immediately began yelling to the Christians [Believing] prisoners that they were deceived, thinking that they would listen to me. 42 When I did this, it seemed that the whole army turned to look at me. 43 The fear and depression that was over them started to come toward me. 44 I still kept yelling because I thought that the Christians [Believers] would wake up and realize what was happening to them, but instead many of them started reaching for their arrows to shoot at me. 45 The others just hesitated as if they did not know what to make of me. 46 I knew then that I had done this prematurely, and that it had been a very foolish mistake.
Chapter 2.3 -- The Battle Begins
1 Then I turned and saw the army of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] standing behind me. 2 There were thousands of soldiers, but they were still greatly outnumbered. 3 I was shocked and disheartened as it seemed that there were actually many more Christians [Believers] being used by the evil one than there were in the army of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]. 4 I also knew that the battle that was about to begin was going to be viewed as The Great Christians [Believers] Civil War because very few would understand the powers that were behind the impending conflict.
5 As I looked more closely at the army of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] the situation seemed even more discouraging. 6 Only a small number were fully dressed in their armor. 7 Many only had one or two pieces of their armor on; some did not have any at all. 8 A large number were already wounded . 9 Most of those who had all of their armor still had very small shields which I knew would not protect them from the onslaught that was coming. 10 To my further surprise, the great majority of these soldiers were women and children. 11 Very few of those who were fully armed were adequately trained to use their arms.
12 Behind this army there was a trailing mob similar to the prisoners who followed the evil horde, but these were very different in nature. 13 They seemed overly happy, as if intoxicated. 14 They were playing games, singing songs, feasting and roaming about from one little camp to the next. 15 This reminded me of Woodstock.
16 I ran toward the army of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] to escape the onslaught that I knew would be coming at me from the evil horde. 17 In every way it seemed that we were in for a most one- sided slaughter. 18 I was especially concerned for this mob that was trailing the army, so I tried to raise my voice above the clamor to warn them that a battle was about to begin. 19 Only a few could even hear me. 20 Those who did, gave me the "peace sign" and said they did not believe in war, and that the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] would not let anything bad happen to them. 21 I tried to explain that the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] had given us armor because we needed it for what was about to happen, but they just retorted that they had come to a place of peace and joy where nothing like that could happen to them. 22 I began praying earnestly for the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] to increase the shields of those with the armor to help protect those who were not ready for the battle.
23 Then a messenger came up to me, gave me a trumpet and told me to blow it quickly. 24 I did, and those who had on at least some of their armor immediately responded, snapping to attention. 25 More armor was brought to them, which they quickly put on. 26 I noticed that those who had wounds did not put armor over their wounds, but before I could say anything about this, enemy arrows began raining down on us. 27 Everyone who did not have on all of his armor was wounded. 28 Those who had not covered their wounds were struck again in that wound.
29 Those who were hit by arrows of slander immediately began to slander those who were not wounded. 30 Those who were hit with gossip began to gossip, and soon a major division had been created within our own camp. 31 I felt that we were on the verge of destroying ourselves just as some of the heathen armies in Scripture [the historical writings] had done by rising up to kill each other. 32 The feeling of helplessness was terrible. 33 Then vultures swooped down to pick up the wounded and deliver them into the camp of prisoners. 34 The wounded still had swords and could have struck down the vultures easily, but they didn't. 35 They were actually carried off willingly because they were so angry at those who were not wounded like they were.
36 I quickly thought about the mob behind the army and ran to see what had happened to them. 37 It seemed impossible but the scene among them was even worse. 38 Thousands lay on the ground wounded and groaning. 39 The sky over them was darkened by the vultures that were carrying them off to become prisoners of the enemy. 40 Many of those who were not wounded just sat in a stupor of unbelief, and they, too, were easily carried away by the vultures. 41 A few had begun to try to fight off the vultures, but they did not have the proper weapons, and the vultures did not even pay them any attention. 42 The wounded were so angry they would threaten and drive away anyone who tried to help them, but they became docile and submissive to the vultures.
43 Those from this mob who had not been wounded and had tried to fight off the vultures began running from the scene of battle. 44 This first encounter with the enemy was so devastating that I was tempted to join them in their flight. 45 Then, amazingly fast, some of those who had fled began reappearing with full suits of armor on, holding large shields. 46 This was the first bit of encouragement that I remember seeing.
47 These warriors who were returning no longer had the mirth of the party, but an awesome resolve had replaced it. 48 I knew that these had been deceived once, but that they would not be easily deceived again. 49 They began to take the places of those who had fallen, and even began forming new ranks to protect the rear and flanks. 50 This caused great courage to spread through the army so that the determination of everyone to stand and fight again began to rise. 51 Immediately three great angels [Messengers] named Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed] came and stood behind the army. 52 As we looked at them all of our shields began to grow. 53 It was amazing how quickly despair had turned to Faith [Emunah]. 54 It was a solid Faith [Emunah], too, tempered by experience.
Chapter 2.4 -- The High Way
1 Now everyone had swords named the Word [Commandments] of Jesus [NOT Yahooshua -- Yah], and arrows that were named for different biblical [fundamental] truths. 2 We wanted to shoot back, but we did not know how to avoid hitting the Christians [Believers] that were being ridden by the demons. 3 Then it occurred to us that if these Christians [Believers]s were hit with Truth they would wake up and fight off their oppressors. 4 I fired off a few arrows, as did some of the others. 5 Almost all of them hit Christians [Believers]. 6 However, when the arrow of Truth went into them, they did not wake up, or fall down wounded they became enraged, and the demon riding on them grew much larger.
7 This shocked everyone, and we began to feel that this was an impossible battle to win. 8 Even so, with Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed] we were confident that we could at least hold our own ground. 9 Another great angel [Messenger] named Wisdom then appeared and directed us to fight from the Mountain behind us.
10 On the Mountain there were ledges at different levels for as high as we could see. 11 At each higher level the ledges became narrower, and more difficult to stand on. 12 Each level was named for a biblical [fundamental] truth. 13 The lower levels were named after foundational truths such as "Salvation," "Sanctification," "Prayer," "Faith [Emunah]," etc., 14 and the higher levels were named after deeper biblical [fundamental] truths. 15 The higher we climbed, the larger both our shields and our swords grew, and fewer of the enemy arrows could reach our positions.
Chapter 2.5 -- A Tragic Mistake
1 Some who had stayed on the lower levels began picking up the enemy arrows and shooting them back. 2 This was a very grave mistake. 3 The demons easily dodged the arrows and let them hit the Christians [Believers]. 4 When a Christian [Believer] was hit by one of the arrows of accusation or slander, a demon of bitterness or rage would fly in and perch on that arrow. 5 He would then begin to urinate and defecate his poison upon that Christian [Believer]. 6 When a Christian [Believer] had two or three of these demons added to the pride or self-righteousness he already had, he was transformed into the contorted image of the demons themselves.
7 We could see this happening from the higher levels, but those on the lower levels who were using the enemy's arrows could not see it. 8 About half of us decided to keep climbing, while the other half descended back to the lower levels to explain to those below what was happening. 9 Everyone was then warned to keep climbing and not to stop, except for a few who stationed themselves on each level to keep the other soldiers moving higher.
Chapter 2.6 -- Safety
1 When we reached the level called "The Unity of the Brethren," none of the enemy's arrows could reach us. 2 Many in our camp decided that this was as far as they needed to climb. 3 I understood this because with each new level the footing was more precarious. 4 However, I also felt much stronger and more skillful with my weapons as I went higher, so I continued climbing.
5 Soon my skills were good enough to shoot and hit the demons without hitting the Christians [Believers]. 6 I felt that if I kept going higher I could shoot far enough to hit the main leaders of the evil horde who stayed behind their army. 7 I regretted that so many had stopped on the lower levels where they were safe but could not hit the enemy. 8 Even so, the strength and character that grew in those who kept climbing made them great champions, each one able to destroy many of the enemy.
9 At each level there were arrows of Truth scattered about which I knew were left from those who had fallen from that position (many had fallen from each position). 10 All of the arrows were named after the Truth of that level. 11 Some were reluctant to pick up these arrows, but I knew we needed all that we could to destroy the great horde below. 12 I picked one up, shot it, and so easily hit a demon that the others started picking them up and shooting them. 13 We began to decimate several of the enemy divisions. 14 Because of this, the entire evil army focused its attention on us. 15 For a time it seemed that the more we achieved, the more the enemy attacked us. 16 Though our task seemed endless, it had become exhilarating.
17 Since the enemy could not hit us on the higher levels with its arrows, swarms of vultures would fly above us to vomit down on us, or to carry demons who would urinate or defecate upon the ledges, making them very slippery.
Chapter 2.7 -- The Anchor
1 Our swords grew after we reached each level, but I almost left mine behind because I did not seem to need it at the higher levels. 2 I almost casually decided to keep it, thinking that it must have been given to me for a reason. 3 Then, because the ledge I was standing on was so narrow, and becoming so slippery, I drove the sword into the ground and tied myself to it while I shot at the enemy. 4 The voice of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] then came to me, saying: "You have used the wisdom that will enable you to keep climbing. 5 Many have fallen because they did not use their sword properly to anchor themselves. 6 " No one else seemed to hear this voice, but many saw what I had done and did the same.
7 I wondered why the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] had not spoken to me to do this sooner. 8 I then knew that He had already spoken this to me somehow. 9 As I pondered this, I began to understand that my whole life had been training for this hour. 10 I knew that I was prepared to the degree that I had listened to the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] and obeyed His voice throughout my life. 11 I also knew that for some reason the wisdom and understanding I now had could not be increased or taken away while in this battle. 12 I was very thankful for every trial I had experienced in my life, and I was sorry for not appreciating them more at the time.
13 Soon we were hitting the demons with almost perfect accuracy. 14 Rage ascended from the enemy army like fire and brimstone. 15 I knew that the Christians [Believers] trapped in that army were now feeling the brunt of that rage. 16 Some became so enraged that they were now shooting at each other. 17 Normally this would have been very encouraging, but those who suffered the most were the deceived Christians [Believers] who were in the camp of the enemy. 18 I knew that to the world this was appearing as an incomprehensible meltdown of Christianity [Believers] itself.
19 Some of those who had not used their swords as anchors were able to strike down many of the vultures, but they were also more easily knocked from the ledges where they were standing. 20 Some of these landed on a lower level, but some fell all the way to the bottom and were picked up and carried off by the vultures. 21 I spent every free moment that I got trying to drive my sword deeper into the ledge, or trying to tie myself more securely to it. 22 Every time I did this, Wisdom would stand beside me so I knew that it was very important.
Chapter 2.8 -- A New Weapon
1 The arrows of Truth would seldom penetrate the vultures, but they hurt them enough to drive them back. 2 Every time they were driven back far enough some of us would climb to the next level. 3 When we reached the level called "Galatians Two Twenty," we were above the altitude that the vultures could withstand. 4 At this level the sky above almost blinded us with its brightness and beauty. 5 I felt peace like I had never felt it before.
6 Until I reached this level much of my fighting spirit had been motivated almost as much from fear, hatred or disgust for the enemy as it had been for the sake of the kingdom, truth, or Love [Chesed] for the prisoners. 7 But it was on this level I caught up to Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed], which before I had only been able to see from a distance. 8 Here I was almost overpowered by their glory.
9 Even so, I felt that I could get close to them. 10 When I got next to them they turned to me, and began repairing and shining my armor. 11 Soon it was transformed and brilliantly reflected the glory that was coming from Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed]. 12 When they touched my sword, great bolts of brilliant lightning began flashing from it. 13 Love [Chesed] then said, "Those who reach this level are entrusted with the powers of the age to come." 14 Then, turning to me with a seriousness that was very sobering, he said, "I still must teach you how to use them."
15 The "Galatians Two Twenty" level was so wide that there did not seem to be any danger of falling. 16 There were also unlimited arrows with the name Hope written on them. 17 We shot some of them down at the vultures, and these arrows killed them easily. 18 About half who had reached this level kept shooting while the others began carrying these arrows down to those still on the lower levels.
19 The vultures kept coming in waves upon the levels below, but with each one there would be fewer than before. 20 From "Galatians Two Twenty" we could hit any enemy in the army except the leaders themselves, who remained just out of our range. 21 We decided not to use the arrows of truth until we had destroyed all of the vultures, because the cloud of depression they created made the truth less effective. 22 This took a very long time, but we did not get tired. 23 Finally, it seemed as if the sky over the Mountain was almost completely rid of the vultures.
24 Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed], who had grown like our weapons with each level, were now so large that I knew people far beyond the battle area could see them. 25 Their glory even radiated into the camp of prisoners who were still under a great cloud of vultures. 26 I was very encouraged that they could now be seen this way. 27 Maybe now the Christians [Believers] who had been used by the enemy, and the prisoners who were held by them, would understand that we were not the enemy, but they in fact had been used by him.
28 But this was not to be the case, at least not yet. 29 Those in the camp of the enemy who began to see the light of Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed] started calling them "angels [Messengers] of light" who were sent to deceive the weak or undiscerning. 30 I knew then that their deception and bondage was much greater than I had realized.
31 However, any who were not a part of either of these armies, the non-Christians [unbelievers], saw their glory and started to come closer to the Mountain to get a better view. 32 Those who came closer to see them also started to understand what the battle had really been about. 33 This was a great encouragement.
34 The exhilaration of victory continued to grow in all of us. 35 I felt that being in this army, in this battle, had to be one of the greatest adventures of all time. 36 After destroying most of the vultures that had been attacking our Mountain, we began picking off the vultures that still covered the prisoners. 37 As the cloud of darkness began dissipating and the sun began to shine down on them, they, too, began to wake up as if they had been in a deep sleep. 38 They were immediately repulsed by their condition, especially by the vomit that still covered them, and started cleaning themselves up. 39 As they beheld Faith [Emunah], Hope, and Love [Chesed], they also saw the Mountain and ran toward it.
40 The evil horde sent arrows of Accusation and Slander at their backs, but they did not stop. 41 By the time they got to the Mountain many had a dozen or more arrows stuck in them, yet they seemed not to even notice. 42 As soon as they began to scale the Mountain their wounds began to heal. 43 With the cloud of depression having been dispelled it seemed as lifeverything was now getting much easier.
Chapter 2.9 -- The Trap
1 The former prisoners had great joy in their salvation. 2 They seemed so overwhelmed with appreciation for each level as they began to scale the Mountain that it gave us a greater appreciation for those truths. 3 Soon a fierce resolve to fight the enemy also arose in the former prisoners. 4 They put on the armor provided and begged to be allowed to go back and attack the enemy who had held them captive, and had abused them for so long. 5 We thought about it, but then decided we should all stay on the Mountain to fight. 6 Again the voice of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] spoke, saying: “A second time you have chosen wisdom. 7 You cannot win if you try to fight the enemy on his own ground, but you must remain on My Holy [Set-Apart] [Set-Apart] Mountain. "
8 I was stunned that we had made another decision of such importance just by thinking and briefly discussing it. 9 I then resolved to do my best to not make another decision of any consequence without prayer. 10 Wisdom then stepped up to me quickly, took both of my shoulders firmly and looked me straight in the eyes, saying: "You must do this!"
11 As Wisdom said this to me he pulled me forward as if he were saving me from something. 12 I looked back and saw that, even though I had been on the broad plateau of “Galatians Two Twenty," I had drifted to the very edge without even knowing it. 13 I had come very close to falling off the Mountain. 14 I looked again into the eyes of Wisdom, and he said with the utmost seriousness, "Take heed when you think you stand, lest you fall. 15 In this life, you can fall from any level. "
16 I thought about this for quite a while. 17 In the exuberance of the victory we were starting to achieve, and the unity of the brethren, I had become careless. 18 It was more noble to fall because of the onslaught of the enemy than to fall because of carelessness.
Chapter 2.10 -- The Serpents
1 For a long time we continued killing the vultures and picking off the demons that were riding the Christians [Believers]. 2 We found that the arrows of different Truths would have greater impact on different demons. 3 We knew that it was going to be a long battle, but we were not suffering any more casualties now, and we had continued to climb past the level of "Patience." 4 Even so, after these Christians [Believers] had the demons shot off of them, few would come to the Mountain. 5 Many had taken on the nature of the demons, and continued in their delusion without them. 6 As the darkness of the demons dissipated we could see the ground moving around the feet of these Christians [Believers]. 7 Then I saw that their legs were bound by serpents. 8 As I kept looking at the serpents I saw that they were all the same kind, and had the name Shame written on them.
9 We shot arrows of Truth at the serpents, but they had little effect. 10 We then tried the arrows of Hope, but without results. 11 From "Galatians Two Twenty" it had been very easy to go higher because we all helped each other. 12 Since there seemed to be little that we could do now against the enemy we decided to just try to climb as far as we could until we found something that would work against the serpents.
13 We passed levels of truth very fast. 14 On most of them we did not even bother to look around if there was not a weapon apparent that would work on the serpents. 15 Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed] stayed right with us, but I had not noticed that we had left Wisdom far behind. 16 It would be a long time before I would understand what a mistake this was. 17 He would catch up to us on the top, but leaving him behind cost us a much quicker and easier victory over the evil horde.
18 Almost without warning we came to a level that opened up into a garden. 19 It was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. 20 Over the entrance to this garden was written, "The Father's Unconditional Love [Chesed]." 21 This entrance was so glorious and inviting that we just could not resist entering. 22 As soon as I entered I saw a tree that I knew was the Tree of Life. 23 It was in the middle of this garden, and it was still guarded by angels [Messengers] of awesome power and authority. 24 When I looked at them they looked back. 25 They seemed friendly, as if they had been expecting us. 26 I looked back and there was now a host of other warriors in the garden. 27 This gave us all courage, and because of the angels [Messengers] ' demeanor, we decided to pass them to get to the tree. 28 One of the angels [Messengers] called out, "Those who make it to this level, who know the Father's Love [Chesed], can eat."
29 I did not realize how hungry I was. 30 When I tasted the fruit, it was better than anything I had ever tasted, but it was, also, somehow familiar. 31 It brought memories of sunshine, rain, beautiful fields, the sun setting over the ocean, but even more than that, of the people I Love [Chesed]. 32 With every bite I Loved [Cheseded] everything and everyone more. 33 Then my enemies started coming to mind, and I Loved [Cheseded] them, too. 34 The feeling was soon greater than anything I had ever experienced, even the peace on "Galatians Two Twenty" when we had first reached that level. 35 Then I heard the voice of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], saying, "This is now your daisy bread. 36 It shall never be withheld from you. 37 You may eat as much and as often as you like. 38 There is no end to My Love [Chesed]. "
39 I looked up into the tree to see where the voice had come from, and I saw that it was filled with pure white eagles. 40 They had the most beautiful, penetrating eyes I have ever seen. 41 They were looking at me as if waiting for instructions. 42 One of the angels [Messengers] said, "They will do your bidding. 43 These eagles eat snakes." 44 I said, "Go! 45 Devour the shame that has bound our brothers." 46 They opened their wings and a great wind came that lifted them into the air. 47 These eagles filled the sky with a blinding glory. 48 Even as high as we were, I could hear the sounds of terror from the enemy camp at the sight of the eagles ascending.
Chapter 2.11 -- The King Appears
1 The Lord [Adonay] Jesus [Yahooshua] Himself then appeared right in our midst. 2 He took the time to greet each one personally, congratulating us for reaching the top of the Mountain. 3 Then He said, "I must now share with you what I shared with your brothers after My ascension—the message of My kingdom. 4 The enemy's most powerful army has now been put to flight, but not destroyed. 5 Now it is time for us to march forth with the gospel [Good News] of My kingdom. 6 The eagles have been released and will go with us. 7 We will take arrows from every level, but I am your Sword, and I am your Captain. 8 It is now time for the Sword of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] to be unsheathed. "
9 I then turned and saw that the entire army of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] was standing in that garden. 10 There were men, women, and children from all races and nations, each carrying their banners which moved in the wind with perfect unity. 11 I knew that nothing like this had been seen in the earth before. 12 I knew that the enemy had many more armies, and fortresses throughout the earth, but none could stand before this great army. 13 I said almost under my breath, "This must be the day of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]." 14 The whole host then answered in an awesome thunder, "The day of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] of Hosts has come."
Chapter 2.12 -- Summary
1 Months later I sat pondering this dream. 2 Alarmingly, certain events and conditions in the Church [Assembly] had seemed to parallel just what I had seen when the horde from hell had begun to march. 3 I was then reminded of Abraham Lincoln. 4 The only way that he could become "the Emancipator," and preserve the Union, was to be willing to fight a Civil War. 5 He not only had to fight it, but fight with the resolution not to compromise until the victory was complete. 6 He also had to have the grace to fight the bloodiest war in our history without "demonizing" the enemy with propaganda. 7 If he had done that he might have been able to galvanize the resolve of the North much faster, and win a quicker military victory, but it would have made the reunion after the war much more difficult. 8 Because he was truly fighting to preserve the Union, he never made the men and women of the South the enemy, but rather the evil that had them in bondage.
9 A great spiritual civil war now looms before the Church [Assembly]. 10 Many will do everything that they can to avoid it. 11 This is understandable, and even noble. 12 However, compromise will never maintain a lasting peace. 13 It will only make the ultimate conflict that much more difficult when it comes, and it will come.
14 The Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] is now preparing a leadership that will be willing to fight a spiritual civil war in order to set men free. 15 The main issue will be slavery verses freedom. 16 The secondary issue, which will be the primary issue for some, will be money. 17 Just as the American Civil War at times looked like it would destroy the entire nation, what is coming upon the Church [Assembly] will at times appear as if it will be the end of the Church [Assembly]. 18 However, just as the American nation not only survived, but went on to become the most powerful nation on earth, the same is going to happen to the Church [Assembly]. 19 The Church [Assembly] will not be destroyed, but the institutions and doctrines that have kept men in spiritual slavery will be.
20 Even after this, perfect justice in the Church [Assembly] will not be attained overnight. 21 There will still be struggles for women's rights, and to set the Church [Assembly] free from other forms of racism and exploitation. 22 These are all causes that must be confronted. 23 However, in the midst of the coming spiritual civil war, Faith [Emunah], Hope and Love [Chesed], and the kingdom of God [Yah] that they stand upon, will begin to be seen as they never have before. 24 This will begin drawing all men to the kingdom. 25 God's [Yah’s] government is about to be demonstrated as greater than any human government.
And let us always remember that, with the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] "a thousand years is as a day." 26 He can do in us in one day what we may think will take a thousand years. 27 The work of liberation, and exaltation of the Church [Assembly], will be a work that is accomplished much quicker than we may think is humanly possible. 28 However, we are not talking about human possibilities.
Chapter 3.1 -- Part II, The Holy [Set-Apart] Mountain
1 We stood in the Garden of God [Yah] under the Tree of Life. 2 It seemed that the entire army was there, many of them kneeling before the Lord [Adonay] Jesus [Yahooshua]. 3 He had just given us the charge to return to the battle for the sake of our brothers who were still bound, and for the world that He Loved [Cheseded]. 4 It was both a wonderful and a terrible command. 5 It was wonderful because it came from Him. 6 It was terrible because it implied that we would have to leave His manifest presence, and the Garden that was more beautiful than any place we had ever been before. 7 To leave all of this to go into battle again seemed incomprehensible.
8 The Lord [Yahooshua] continued His exhortation: "I have given you spiritual gifts and power, and an increasing understanding of My word and My kingdom, but the greatest weapon that you have been given is the Father's Love [Chesed]. 9 As long as you walk in My Father's Love [Chesed] you will never fail. 10 The fruit of this tree is the Father's Love [Chesed] which is manifested in Me. 11 This Love [Chesed] which is in Me must be your daisy bread."
12 In this setting of such beauty and glory it did not seem that the Lord [Yahooshua] was appearing in His glory. 13 In fact, His appearance was rather ordinary. 14 Even so, the grace with which He moved and spoke made Him the most attractive person I had ever seen. 15 He was beyond human definition in dignity and nobility. 16 It was easy to understand why He was everything that the Father Loves [Cheseds] and esteems. 17 He truly is full of grace and truth, to the point that it seemed that nothing but grace and truth should ever matter.
18 As I ate the fruit from the Tree of Life, the thought of every good thing I had ever known filled my soul. 19 When Jesus [Yahooshua] spoke it was the same, only magnified. 20 All I wanted to do was just stay in this place and listen to Him. 21 I remembered how I had once thought it must have been boring for those angels [Messengers] who did nothing but worship Him continually before the throne. 22 Now I knew that there was nothing more wonderful or exhilarating that we would ever do than simply worshipping Him. 23 This was what we were created for, and would surely be the best part of heaven. 24 I just could not imagine how wonderful it would be if all of the heavenly choirs were added. 25 It was hard to believe that I had struggled so much with boredom during worship services. 26 I knew that it was only because I had been almost completely out of touch with reality during those times.
27 I was almost overwhelmed with the desire to go back and make up those times during worship services when I had allowed my mind to wander, or had occupied myself with other things. 28 The desire to express my adoration for Him became almost insatiable. 29 I had to praise Him! 30 As I opened my mouth I was shocked by the spontaneous worship that erupted from the entire army at the same time. 31 I had almost forgotten that anyone else was there, but we were all in perfect unity. 32 The glorious worship that followed could not be expressed in human language.
33 As we worshipped, a golden glow began to emanate from the Lord [Yahooshua]. 34 Then there was silver around the gold. 35 Then colors, the richness of which I have never seen with my natural eyes, enveloped us all. 36 With this glory I entered a realm of emotion that I had never experienced before. 37 Somehow I understood that this glory had been there all along, but when we focused on Him the way that we did in worship, we began to see more of His glory. 38 The more intensely we worshipped, the more glory we beheld. 39 If this was heaven, it was much, much better than I had ever dreamed.
Chapter 3.2 -- His Dwelling Place
1 I have no idea how long this worship lasted. 2 It could have been minutes or it could have been months. 3 There was just no way to measure time in that kind of glory. 4 I closed my eyes because the glory I was seeing with my heart was as great as what I was seeing with my physical eyes. 5 When I opened my eyes I was surprised to see that the Lord [Yahooshua] was not there any longer, but a troop of angels [Messengers] was standing where He had been. 6 One of them approached me and said, "Close your eyes again." 7 When I did, I beheld the glory of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]. 8 This was no small relief. 9 I knew that I just could not live without the glory now that I had experienced it.
Then the angel [Messenger] explained, "What you see with the eyes of your heart is more real than what you see with your physical eyes." 10 I had myself made this statement many times, but how little I had walked in it! 11 The angel [Messenger] continued, "It was for this reason that the Lord [Yahooshua] told His first disciples that it was better for Him to go away so that the Holy [Set-Apart] Spirit could come. 12 The Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] dwells within you. 13 You have taught this many times, but now you must live it, for you have eaten of the Tree of Life."
14 The angel [Messenger] then began to lead me back to the gate. 15 I protested that I did not want to leave. 16 Looking surprised, the angel [Messenger] took me by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes. 17 This was when I recognized him; it was Wisdom. 18 "You never have to leave this garden. 19 This garden is in your heart because the Creator Himself is within you. 20 You have desired the best part, to worship and sit in His presence for ever, and it will never be taken from you. 21 But you must take it from here to where it is needed most. "
22 I knew he was right. 23 I then looked past him to the Tree of Life. 24 I had a compulsion to grab all of the fruit that I could before leaving. 25 Knowing my thoughts, Wisdom gently shook me. 26 "No. 27 Even this fruit, gathered in fear, would go bad. 28 This fruit and this tree are within you because He [Yah] is in you. 29 You must believe. "
30 I closed my eyes and tried to see the Lord [Yahooshua] again but couldn't. 31 When I opened my eyes, Wisdom was still staring at me. 32 With great patience he continued, "You have tasted of the heavenly realm, and no one ever wants to go back to the battle once they do. 33 No one ever wants to leave the manifest presence of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]. 34 When the Apostle [Emissary] Paul [Shaul] came here he struggled for the rest of his life as to whether he should stay and labor for the sake of the Church [Assembly], or return here to enter into His inheritance. 35 His inheritance was magnified the longer he stayed and served on earth. 36 Now that you have the heart of a true worshiper you will always want to be here, but you can when you enter into true worship. 37 The more focused you are on Him, the more glory you will see, regardless of where you are. "
38 Wisdom's words had finally calmed me. 39 Again I closed my eyes just to thank the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] for this wonderful experience, and the life He had given to me. 40 As I did, I started to see His glory again, and all of the emotion of the previous worship experience flooded my soul. 41 The Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing]'s words to me were so loud and clear that I was sure they were audible; "I will never leave or forsake you. "
42 "Lord [Adonay], forgive my unbelief," I responded. 43 "Please help me never to leave or forsake you." 44 This was both a wonderful and trying time. 45 Here the "real world" was not real, and the spiritual realm was so much more real that I just could not imagine going back to the other. 46 I was gripped both with wonder and a terrible fear that I might wake up at any moment and finding it was all just a dream.
47 Wisdom understood what was going on inside of me. 48 "You are dreaming,” he said. 49 "But this dream is more real than what you think of as real. 50 The Father gave men dreams to help them see the door to His dwelling place. 51 He will only dwell in men's hearts, and dreams can be a door to your heart, which will lead you to Him. 52 That is why His angels [Messengers] so often appear to men in their dreams. 53 In dreams they can bypass the fallen mind of man and go straight to his heart."
54 As I opened my eyes, Wisdom was still gripping my shoulders. 55 "I am the primary gift that has been given to you or your work, " he said. 56 "I will show you the way, and I will keep you on it, but only Love [Chesed] will keep you Faithful [Emunahful]. 57 The fear of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] is the beginning of wisdom, but the highest wisdom is to Love [Chesed] Him. "
58 Then Wisdom released me and started to walk toward the gate. 59 I followed with ambivalence. 60 I remembered the exhilaration of the battle and the climb up the Mountain, and it was compelling, but there was no comparison to the presence of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] and the worship I had just experienced. 61 Leaving this would be the greatest sacrifice I had ever made. 62 Then I remembered how it was all inside of me and was amazed that I could forget this so quickly. 63 It was like there was a great battle raging within me, between what I saw with my physical eyes and what I saw with my heart.
64 I moved forward so that I was walking beside Wisdom, and asked, "I have prayed for twenty-five years to be caught up into the third heaven like the Apostle [Emissary] Paul [Shaul]. 65 Is this the third heaven?"
"This is part of it, " he replied, "but there is much more."
"Will I be allowed to see more?" 66 I asked.
67 "You will see much more. 68 I am taking you to see more now, " he replied.
69 I started thinking of the book of Revelation. 70 "Was John's revelation part of the third heaven?" 71 I asked.
72 "Part of John's revelation was from the third heaven, but most of it was from the second heaven. 73 The first heaven was before the fall of man. 74 The second heaven is the spiritual realm during the reign of evil upon the earth. 75 The third heaven is when the Love [Chesed] and domain of the Father will again prevail over the earth through the King. "
"What was the first heaven like?" 76 I inquired, strangely feeling a cold chill as I asked.
77 "It is wisdom not to be concerned about that now," Wisdom responded with increased seriousness as my question seemed to jolt him. 78 “Wisdom is to seek to know the third heaven just as you have. 79 There is much more to know about the third heaven than you can know in this Life, and it is the third heaven, the kingdom, that you must preach in this Iife. 80 In the ages to come you will be told about the first heaven, but it is not profitable for you to know about it now. "
81 I resolved to remember the cold chill I had just felt, and Wisdom nodded, which I knew to be an affirmation of that thought. 82 "What a great companion you are," I had to say as I realized the valuable gift that this angel [Messenger] was. 83 “you really will keep me on the right path."
84 "I will indeed, " he replied.
85 I was sure I felt Love [Chesed] coming from this angel [Messenger], which was unique, since I had never felt this from other angels [Messengers] . 86 They usually showed their concern more out of duty than Love [Chesed]. 87 Wisdom responded to my thoughts as if I had spoken them out loud.
88 "It is wisdom to Love [Chesed] and I could not be wisdom if did not Love [Chesed] you. 89 It is also wisdom to behold the kindness and the severity of God [Yah]. 90 It is wisdom to Love [Chesed] Him and to fear Him. 91 You are in deception if you do otherwise. 92 This is the next lesson that you must learn, " he said with unmistakable earnest.
93 "I do know that, and have taught it many times," I responded, feeling for the first time that maybe Wisdom did not fully know me.
94 "I have been your companion for a very long time, and I know your teachings, "Wisdom replied. 95 "Now you are about to learn what some of your own teachings mean. 96 As you have said many times, 'It is not by believing in your mind, but in your heart that results in righteousness.” 97 I apologized, feeling a bit ashamed at having questioned Wisdom. 98 He graciously accepted my apology. 99 It was then that I realized I had been questioning and challenging him most of my life, and often to my injury.
Chapter 3.3 -- The Other Half of Love [Chesed]
1 "There are times to adore the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], " Wisdom continued, "and there are times to honor Him with the greatest fear and respect, just as there is a time to plant, and a time to reap. 2 It is wisdom to know the time for each. 3 True wisdom knows the times and seasons of God [Yah]. 4 I brought you here because it was time to worship the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] in the glory of His Love [Chesed]. 5 This is what you needed the most after such a battle. 6 I am now taking you to another place because it is time for you to worship Him in the fear of His judgment. 7 Until you know both there is a danger that we can be separated from each other. "
"Do you mean that if I had stayed back there in that glorious worship I would have lost you?" 8 I asked in disbelief.
9 "Yes. 10 I would have always visited with you when I could, but we would have rarely crossed paths. 11 It is hard to leave such glory and peace, but that is not the whole revelation of the King. 12 He is both a Lion and a Lamb. 13 To the spiritual children He is the Lamb. 14 To the maturing He is the Lion. 15 To the fully mature He is both the Lion and the Lamb. 16 Again, I know you understand this, but you have known it in your mind. 17 Soon you will know it in your heart, for you are about to experience the judgment seat of Christ [the Anointing of the Spirit of Yah]. "
Chapter 3.4 -- The Return To The Battle
1 Before leaving the gates to the Garden, I asked Wisdom if I could just sit for a while to ponder all that I had just experienced. 2 "Yes, you should do this, " he replied, "but I have a better place for you to do it.”
3 I followed Wisdom out of the gates and we began to go down the Mountain. 4 To my surprise the battle was still going on, but not as intensely as it was when we ascended. 5 There were still arrows of accusation and slander flying about on the lower levels, but most of the enemy horde that was left was furiously attacking the great white eagles. 6 The eagles were easily prevailing.
7 We kept descending until we were almost at the bottom. 8 Just above the levels of “Salvation" and "Sanctification" was the level "Thanksgiving and Praise." 9 I remembered this level very well because one of the greatest attacks of the enemy came when I had first tried to reach it. 10 Once we got here the rest of the climb was much easier, and when an arrow penetrated our armor, healing came much faster.
11 As soon as my enemies spotted me on this level (they could not see Wisdom), a shower of arrows began to rain down on me. 12 I knocked them down with my shield so easily they quit shooting. 13 Their arrows were now almost gone and they could not afford to waste them.
14 The soldiers who were still fighting from this level looked at me in astonishment with a deference that made me very uncomfortable. 15 It was then that I first noticed that the glory of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] was emanating from my armor and shield. 16 I told them to climb to the top of the Mountain without stopping and they, too, would see the Lord [Yahooshua]. 17 As soon as they agreed to go they saw Wisdom. 18 They started to fall down to worship him, but he restrained them, and sent them on their way.
Chapter 3.5 -- The Faithful [Emunahful]
1 I was filled with Love [Chesed] for these soldiers, many of whom were women and children. 2 Their armor was a mess, and they were covered in blood, but they had not given up. 3 In fact, they were still cheerful and encouraged. 4 I told them that they were deserving of more honor than I was, because they had borne the greatest burden of the battle, and had held their ground.
5 They seemed not to believe me, but appreciated that I would say it. 6 However, I really felt that it was true.
7 Every level on the Mountain had to be occupied or the vultures that were left would come and desecrate it with vomit and excrement until it was difficult to stand on. 8 Most of the ledges were occupied by soldiers who I recognized to be from different denominations or movements which emphasized the truth of the level they were defending. 9 I was embarrassed by the attitude I had maintained toward some of these groups. 10 I had considered them out of touch and backslidden at best, but here they were fighting Faithfully [Emunahfully] against a terrible onslaught of the enemy. 11 Their defense of these positions had probably enabled me to keep climbing as I had.
12 Some of these levels were situated so that there was a view of a good part of the Mountain and the battlefield, but some were so isolated that the soldiers on them could see only their own position. 13 These seemed unaware of the rest of the battle raging, or the rest of the army that was also fighting the battle. 14 These were so wounded from the slander and accusations that they would resist anyone who came down to them from a higher level to encourage them to climb higher. 15 However, when some began to come down from the top reflecting the glory of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], they listened, most of them with great joy, and soon began to climb themselves with courage and resolve. 16 As I beheld all of this, Wisdom did not say much, but he seemed very interested in my reactions.
Chapter 3.6 -- Reality Discovered
1 I watched as many soldiers who had been to the top began descending to all of the levels to relieve those who had been taking their stand on those truths. 2 As they did, each level began to shine with the glory they carried. 3 Soon the whole Mountain was beginning to shine with a glory that was blinding to the vultures and demons that were left. 4 After a time there was so much glory on the Mountain that it began to have the same feel as the Garden.
5 I started thanking and praising the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] and immediately I was in His presence again. 6 It was hard to contain the emotions and glory that I felt when I did this. 7 The experience became so intense that I stopped. 8 Wisdom was standing beside me. 9 Putting his hand on my shoulder he said, "You enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise. "
10 "But that was so real! 11 I felt like I was there again," I exclaimed.
12 "You were there, " replied Wisdom. 13 "It has not gotten more real, but you have. 14 Just as the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua] told the thief on the Cross [Stake], 'Today you will be with Me in Paradise,' you can enter Paradise at any time. 15 The Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing], His Paradise, and this Mountain, are all abiding in you, because He is in you. 16 What were but foretastes before, are now a reality to you because you have climbed the Mountain. 17 The reason that you can see me and others cannot, is not because I have entered your realm, but because you have entered mine. 18 This is the reality that the prophets [Spokesmen and Spokeswomen] knew which gave them great boldness even when they stood alone against armies. 19 They saw the heavenly host that was for them, not just the earthly one arrayed against them.”
Chapter 3.7 -- The Deadly Trap
1 I then looked out over the carnage below, and the slowly retreating demonic army. 2 Behind me more of the glorious warriors were constantly taking their places on the Mountain. 3 I knew that we were now strong enough to attack and destroy what was left of this enemy horde. 4 "Not yet” said Wisdom. 5 "Look over there.” 6 I looked in the direction in which he was pointing, but had to shield my eyes from the glory emanating from my own armor to see anything. 7 Then I caught a glimpse of some movement in a small valley.
8 I could not make out what I was seeing because the glory shining from my armor made it difficult to see into the darkness. 9 I asked Wisdom if there was something that I could cover my armor with so I could see it. 10 He then gave me a very plain mantel to put on. 11 "What is this?" 12 I inquired, a little insulted by its drabness. 13 "Humility," said Wisdom. 14 "You will not be able to see very well without it.” 15 Reluctantly I put it on and immediately I saw many things that I could not see before. 16 I looked toward the valley and the movement I had seen. 17 To my astonishment there was an entire division of the enemy horde that was waiting to ambush anyone who ventured from the Mountain.
"What army is that?" 18 I asked, "and how did they escape the battle intact?"
19 "That is Pride, " explained Wisdom. 20 "That is the hardest enemy to see after you have been in the glory. 21 Those who refuse to put on this cloak will suffer much at the hands of that most devious enemy. "
22 As I looked back at the Mountain I saw many of the glorious warriors crossing the plain to attack the remnant of the enemy horde. 23 None of them were wearing the cloaks of humility and they had not seen the enemy that was ready to attack them from their rear. 24 I started to run out to stop them, but Wisdom restrained me. 25 "You cannot stop this,” he said. 26 "Only the soldiers who wear this cloak will recognize your authority. 27 Come with me. 28 There is something else that you must see before you can help lead in the great battle that is to come."
Chapter 3.8 -- The Foundation Of Glory
1 Wisdom led me down the Mountain to the very lowest level, which was named "Salvation." "You think that this is the lowest level,” declared Wisdom, "but this is the foundation of the whole Mountain. 2 In any Journey, the first step is the most important, and it is usually the most difficult. 3 Without 'Salvation' there would be no Mountain."
4 I was appalled by the carnage on this level. 5 Every soldier was very badly wounded, but none of them were dead. 6 Multitudes were barely clinging to the edge. 7 Many seemed ready to fall off, but none did. 8 Angels [Messenger] were everywhere ministering to the soldiers with such great joy that I had to ask, "Why are they so happy?"
9 "These angels [Messengers] have beheld the courage that it took for these to hold on. 10 They may not have gone any further, but neither did they give up. 11 They will soon be healed, and then they will behold the glory of the rest of the Mountain, and they will begin to climb. 12 These will be great warriors for the battle to come. "
13 "But wouldn't they have been better off to climb the Mountain with the rest of us?" I protested, seeing their present condition.
14 "It would have been better for them, but not for you. 15 By staying here they made it easier for you to climb by keeping most of your enemies occupied. 16 Very few from the higher levels ever reached out to help others come to the Mountain, but these did. 17 Even when these were barely clinging to the Mountain themselves, they would reach out to pull others up. 18 In fact, most of the mighty warriors were led to the Mountain by these faithful ones. 19 These are no less heroes than those who made it to the top. 20 They brought great joy to heaven by leading others to Salvation. 21 It was for this reason that all the angels [Messengers] in heaven wanted to come to minister to them, but only the most honored were permitted. "
22 Again I felt shame for my previous attitude toward these great saints. 23 Many of us had scorned them as we climbed to the higher levels. 24 They had made many mistakes during the battle, but they had also displayed more of the Shepherd's heart than the rest of us. 25 The Lord [Yahoooshua] would leave the ninety-nine to go after the one who was lost. 26 These had stayed in the place where they could still reach the lost, and they paid a dear price for it. 27 I, too, wanted to help but did not know where to start.
28 Wisdom then said, "It is right for you to want to help, but you will help most by going on to what you have been called to do. 29 These will all be healed and will climb the Mountain. 30 They can now climb faster because of you and the others who went before them, both destroying the enemy, and marking the way. 31 They will join you again in the battle. 32 These are fearless ones who will never retreat before the enemy. "
Chapter 3.9 -- The Power Of Pride
1 I was pondering how I was learning as much by descending the Mountain as I had by climbing it when the noise from the battlefield drew my attention. 2 By now there were thousands of the mighty warriors who had Crossed the plain to attack the remnant of the enemy horde. 3 The enemy was fleeing in all directions, except for the one division, Pride. 4 Completely undetected, it had marched right up to the rear of the advancing warriors, and was about to release a hail of arrows. 5 It was then that I noticed the mighty warriors had no armor on their backsides. 6 They were totally exposed and vulnerable to what was about to hit them.
7 Wisdom then remarked, "You have taught that there was no armor for the backside, which meant that you were vulnerable if you ran from the enemy. 8 However, you never saw how advancing in pride also made you vulnerable. "
9 I could only nod in acknowledgment. 10 It was too late to do anything, and it was almost unbearable to watch, but Wisdom said that I must. 11 I knew that the kingdom of God [Yah] was about to suffer a major defeat. 12 I had felt sorrow before, but I had never felt this kind of sorrow.
13 To my amazement, when the arrows of pride struck the warriors they did not even notice. 14 However, the enemy kept shooting. 15 The warriors were bleeding and getting weaker fast, but they would not acknowledge it. 16 Soon they were too weak to hold up their shields and swords; they cast them down, declaring that they no longer needed them. 17 They started taking off their armor, saying it was not needed anymore either.
18 Then another enemy division appeared and moved up swiftly. 19 It was called Strong Delusion. 20 Its members released a hail of arrows and they all seemed to hit their mark. 21 Just a few of the demons of delusion, who were all small and seemingly weak, led away this once great army of glorious warriors. 22 They were taken to different prison camps, each named after a different doctrine of demons. 23 I was astounded at how this great company of the righteous had been so easily defeated, and they still did not even know what had hit them.
24 I blurted out. 25 “How could those who were so strong, who have been all the way to the top of the Mountain, who have seen the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] as they have, be so vulnerable?"
26 "Pride is the hardest enemy to see, and it always sneaks up behind you, " Wisdom lamented. 27 "In some ways, those who have been to the greatest heights are in the greatest danger of falling. 28 You must always remember that in this life you can fall at any time from any level."
29 "Take heed when you think you stand, lest you fall," I replied. 30 "How awesome these Scriptures [writings] seem to me now."
31 "When you think you are the least vulnerable to falling is in fact when you are the most vulnerable. 32 Most men fall immediately after a great victory, " Wisdom lamented.
"How can we keep from being attacked like this?" 33 I asked.
34 "Stay close to me, inquire of the Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] before making major decisions, and keep that mantle on. 36 Then the enemy will not be able to easily blind side you as he did those. "
37 I looked at my mantle. 38 It looked so plain and insignificant. 39 I felt that it made me look more like a homeless person than a warrior. 40 Wisdom responded as if I had been speaking out loud.
41 "The Lord [Yah the Eternally Self-Existing] is closer to the homeless than to kings. 42 You only have true strength to the degree that you walk in the grace of God [Yah], and 'He gives His grace to the humble.' No evil weapon can penetrate this mantle, because nothing can overpower His grace. 43 As long as you wear this mantle you are safe from this kind of attack. "
44 I then started to look up to see how many warriors were still on the Mountain. 45 I was shocked to see how few there were. 46 I noticed, however, that they all had on the same mantle of humility. 47 "How did that happen?" 48 I inquired.
49 "When they saw the battle you just witnessed, they all came to me for help, and I gave them their mantles, " Wisdom replied.
"But I thought you were with me that whole time?"
50 "I am with all who go forth to do the will of My Father, " Wisdom answered.
“You're the Lord [Adonay = Yahooshua]!" 51 I cried.
52 "Yes, " He answered. 53 "I told you that I would never leave you or forsake you. 54 I am with all of My warriors just as I am with you. 55 I will be to you whatever you need to accomplish My will, and you have needed wisdom.” 56 Then He vanished.
Chapter 3.10 -- Rank In The Kingdom
I was left standing in the midst of the great company of angels [Messengers] who were ministering to the wounded on the level of "Salvation." 1 As I began to walk past these angels [Messengers] , they bowed to one knee and showed me great respect. 2 I finally asked one of them why they did this, as even the smallest was much more powerful than I was. 3 "Because of the mantle," he replied. 4 "That is the highest rank in the kingdom."
5 "This is just a plain mantle," I protested.
6 "No!" the angel [Messenger] protested. 7 "You are clothed in the grace of God [Yah]. 8 There is no greater power than that!"
9 "But there are thousands of us all wearing the same mantle. 10 How could it represent rank?" 11 I asked.
12 “You are the dreaded champions, the sons and daughters of the King. 13 He wore the same mantle when He walked on this earth. 14 As long as you are clothed in that, there is no power in heaven or earth that can stand before you. 15 Everyone in heaven and hell recognizes that mantle. 16 We are indeed His servants, but He abides in you, and you are clothed in His grace."
17 Somehow I knew that if I had not been wearing the mantle, and if my glorious armor had been exposed, that the angel’s [Messenger's] statement, and their behavior toward me, would have fed my pride. 18 It was simply impossible to feel prideful or arrogant while wearing such a drab, plain cloak. 19 However, my confidence in the mantle was growing fast.

The Almighty Creator Desires a DEEP Personal Relationship with YOU
If you die as an Unbeliever your spirit will live for a very long time as a disembodied Ancestor Spirit or Demon -- the Creator has said regarding Unbelievers "why would I want someone to spend Eternity with me when they do NOT Believe I exist?”
If you die as a Believer without any form of relationship with the Creator you will end up in the Outer Darkness – a cold, black, terrible place with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth (your teeth) – the trash heap of Heaven – Father has said concerning such Believers “why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great prestige and authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted in this life?”
In stark contrast -- IF you make a real effort to seek relationship with the Almighty the rewards in the Life to Come are HUGE – a glorious resurrected body, great prestige, great authority and a permanent close relationship with the Creator AND with Yahooshua {who you may mistakenly know as Jesus}
To put this all in context the Almighty has said "I created Human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my Friends, my companions, to explore and learn and develop together, my greatest grief is that almost NO person understands this let alone seeks such a relationship with me!“
