1Ch 6:1-15
Looking at the passage of scripture above we can see
that there are 24 generations from Levi to Jehozadak, and there are 24 priestly
courses ordained in the days of the King David. We can say that they are
prophetic of the Mechizedekan priesthood of Jesus Christ which are of the 24
thrones of the elders in heaven so that as each elder represents a course, they
also represent a generation of the priesthood according to the prophetic trail
of the geneology of the high priest, Jehozadak.
Now concerning the kings we can see how that they
are according to the 42 months of the two witnesses. And there are 42 kings and
a queen who ruled over Israel and Judah. Seeing how that the queen did usurp
the true rulership that will make 42 kings. These 42 kings unto the captivity
from King Saul of united Israel unto Jeconiah, king of Judah are prophetic of
the dispensations of the church age from Christ’s ascension to the days of the
tribulation. For that in which Christ was conceived and born is as Moses at
mount Horeb; where he received the mandate to deliver Israel out of Egypt. And Christ’s
birth is the crossing of the Red Sea into the wilderness journey of Israel. As
John the Baptist baptizes Jesus is that crossing of the river Jordan, so that
John’s death afterwards is as Moses’ death after his spirit had being put upon
Joshua.
Christ’s temptation for 40 days are as the conquest
for the land of Canaan under Joshua and that in which Christ begun His ministry
unto death is as the era of the Judges unto the destruction of Benjamin. The
emergence of the prophet Samuel who anoints Saul and then David to be kings is
of the resurrection of Jesus Christ unto which after His ascension, He sends
the Holy Ghost, the promise of the Father to anoint the 120 disciples.
Apostle Peter remarks that the coming of the Holy
Spirit on the day of Pentecost is manifest to show that the LORD Jesus is
seated at the right hand of authority as the LORD and King, even the KINGS OF
KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. And so as the LORD of hosts is seated in between the Cherubim
and the kings of Israel and Judah did rule under Him so is that in which Christ
is at God’s right hand and the dispensations of the Church are manifest
according to that in which they are foreshadowed by the eras of the kings of
Israel and Judah. And so, Christ is the King of the kings of Judah/Israel; the
King of the Jews.
So all the dispensations of the kings of Israel and
Judah thus begins from that in which the two angelic witnesses were seen upon
the mount Olivet. And so all church history unto the tribulation had being
prophesied in the kings unto the captivity of Jerusalem and Samaria. And so
that in which the walls of Jerusalem were finally broken and the temple was
destroyed is of that in which the beast working with the power of the angel of
the Abyss/Abadon/Appollyon will war with the two witnesses and kill them. He is
going to do this by the counterfeiting of the prophecies that came against
Israel and Judah, wherewith they were destroyed particularly by the prophet
Ezekiel seen in Ezekiel 1 – 24. And as the two witnesses rise and are called up
into heaven is unto the vision of the new temple and city. The prophecies against
the nations in Ezekiel especially of their behavior towards Jerusalem at its
destruction is unto that in which the kingdom of the beast shall be judged.
Daniel’s prayer for Jerusalem and Judah for 21 days
would have correlated to a day for each of the king of Judah that reigned and
in these our days we can prophetically pray for the restoration of the
spiritual Israel unto that in which we can intercede in the light of Daniel’s
prayer for all the 42 generations of the kings in the new testament Israel of
Christ, the King. So church history till the era of the antichrist hath being
prophesied in the shadows of the kings of Israel/Judah till the invasions and
the captivities caused by the kings of Assyria and Babylon unto Israel and
Judah respectively/
That in which the prophets in the days of the kings
of Israel and Judah did prophesy against them so that they are destroyed are
unto the realities of that in which the dragon wrestles against the saints
issuing out the flood of water from the mouth and its fights with its tail as
we see that both the locust-scorpions and the horse-serpents worketh with their
mouth and tails. It is of that in which Satan with the power of death through
God’s law wrestles against the saints.
We must understand that the prophets in the days of
the kings were the spiritual princes that God raised both to support the kings
when they walked uprightly, and to oppose them when otherwise. Now having
understood how that satan fights the saints using the very word of God by the
law of sin and death, we should also understand that that in which the saints
shall overcome them, i.e. the dragon and his angels are also of the words of
the prophet which spake concerning the peace and restoration of Israel/Judah
after it had suffered the desolations and captivity.
These are the words of our testimony amplified by
the blood of Jesus through the operations of the seven Spirits of God, through
which as kings we wrestle against satan. We intercede before God as priests
through the exercise of faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. And before God as
kings we proclaim the prophecies and promises that He made unto Israel even as
it applies to the spiritual Israel. And these things are recorded in the
prophets and psalms. As we proclaim these before God, it goes forth against the
principalities and powers of that in which it empowers the angelic hosts of God
against the dragon and his angels.
While we understand Christ’s death as an
encapsulation of His receiving the jusdgment prescribed in the Law of Moses, it
was also in the fulfilment of all the prophecies that were testified against
Israel/Judah for their evils. As it is with Christ unto His death according to
the sting/bite of sin, so also it is of His resurrection. And this is of that
in which the prophets and the law spake of the peace and restoration of Israel
after it had being punished for their sins and had repented thereof. So we can
say that the judgments which Christ appeased in His dying on the cross is
majorly of the manifestation of His priesthood, which is according to the law
in which there cannot be remission of sins without the shedding of blood.
Christ’s resurrection is majorly a manifestation of His royalty which is
according to the prophets, for it is impossible for death to hold Him who is
the Prince of Life in captivity as David the prophet testified. In Moses we see
how the law consisted majorly of prescriptions of punishments and death. It is
in king David and his prophetic psalms that we see more of that which is unto
the resurrection i.e. life from the dead.
Having seen how the prophecies and testimonies
concerning physical Israel before the first Advent of Christ relates with the
bodies of Believers; the prophecies concerning the Gentiles also relates to the
unbelievers in Christ outside the church. There are the spiritual Gentiles even
the uncircumcised in heart of the physical Jews. That in which God speaks of
the inclusion of the Gentiles under the tents of David after their judgments in
the day of the LORD speaks of their salvation, even their spiritual salvation
in this present age. It also speaks of that in which the Gospel should reach
all the nations of the earth, so that the events of the day of Pentecost is a
prophetic manifestation of the day of the LORD in the spiritual salvation of
the Gentiles which is a forerunner of the physical salvation of the Gentiles
when Christ in His second advent shall come to the earth physically.
Even so
Come LORD Jesus
Amen.
