Dramatic paradigm shift to fellowship of neighbours bear fruit

in Unity of the Faith

From: D&V List No.1348

Date: Tuesday 02 June, 2009

Dreamer: Allen W.

Dream:
In my dream our neighbors wanted to get together for fellowship. We all ended up in a small hall. There were a bunch of tables set up for dinner; I wasn’t hungry at that point. I wouldn’t have had time anyway; different people were coming up to me to talk. I was looking around the room and I saw my nephew and the son of a friend that committed suicide and a person I thought was his brother. (I’m not sure he has a brother) I spent some time talking with them. I began to feel a bit hungry so I sat down to eat.

Then this older gentleman walk up to me (he was in his 50’s brown to graying hair, a little heavy set. He was in a suit) He put his arms around my head and pulled me toward him and began to pray. He was praying in Latin. As he finished he said I was to receive the Pontus blessing, then he walked away.

Everyone began to finish up (I still didn’t eat) Another man walked up to me and asked if I was going with some other people to a different place (not sure where) I said no. He became very angry and threw something and went outside. I followed him and spoke with him to see why he was angry. He calmed down and was ok.

I went inside again and started to help clean up. As we cleaned we also started to set up for another gathering. It was for children. I think we were putting out toys and money at the place settings. We weren’t finished and I heard the kids running in. Then I woke up.

BREAKDOWN OF THE DREAM FOR INTERPRETATION

In my dream our neighbors wanted to get together for fellowship. We all ended up in a small hall. There were a bunch of tables set up for dinner; I wasn’t hungry at that point. I wouldn’t have had time anyway; different people were coming up to me to talk. I was looking around the room and I saw my nephew and the son of a friend that committed suicide and a person I thought was his brother. (I’m not sure he has a brother) I spent some time talking with them. I began to feel a bit hungry so I sat down to eat.

** This dream is highlighting close neighbours who have cast off the shackles of denominational differences and spiritual immaturity that formerly kept them aloof from one another. Going on unto spiritual maturity involves end time breaking down of denominational barriers as part of an inward cleansing and liberating process that determines to only see Christ and Him crucified. This would open the door to the favour of God for demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

1Co 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
1Co 2:2 For I DETERMINED NOT TO KNOW ANY THING AMONG YOU, SAVE JESUS CHRIST, AND HIM CRUCIFIED.
1Co 2:3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1Co 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER:
1Co 2:5 THAT YOUR FAITH SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WISDOM OF MEN, but in the power of God.

Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS.

2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.

Of such will be the unity of loving communal fellowships that God will usher in for an end time witness to the world of the reality and power of the Gospel of Christ.

Joh 17:21 THAT THEY ALL MAY BE ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE that thou hast sent me.

It may begin with like minded folks gathering and progressing to neighbours inviting each other to their homes as selfless friends and spiritual family without religious baggage. Soon, as the dream portrayed, neighbours directed by the Spirit will organize themselves into dynamic, creative and progressive fellowships much like loving natural families that seek to live close to each other in a suburb. Similarly all neighbourhood fellowships will relate to one another as family within nations and across nations.

Genuine leadership ministries will crystallize from their gifts and abilities in appropriate places in the body of the fellowship to function in their calling.

Pro 18:16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

They will be as Jesus taught his leaders to be rather than that which is the status quo in the Old Church Order. Their maturity will be evident from their love, humility, meekness and wisdom as fathers whose desire is to see others grow and mature in the purity of their character, life and abilities.
Mat 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Mat 20:26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Mat 20:27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Mat 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

In the leading of the Spirit such leaders of this end time work of God will facilitate expression of each member so that the fellowship can go on unto perfecting the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. This facilitates the sovereign work of the Spirit of God to advance the fellowship unto the edifying of itself in love. We have some examples from scripture of how this will take place in a fellowship:

Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, MAKETH INCREASE OF THE BODY unto the EDIFYING OF ITSELF in love.

1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

1Co 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

Clearly this process would require the predominance of small and more personal fellowships above larger ones. Size of the fellowship would be limited by its ability to effectively allow each member to go on unto perfection. Dynamics of smaller fellowships have their example in natural families and in the disciples of Jesus Christ of the Gospels where the development of each person is priority. History has shown that large churches tend to reflect the way of organizations and business institutions of the world that serve the institution and their leaders.

Mat 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Mat 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Eze 34:8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
Eze 34:9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Eze 34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
Eze 34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

In assessing the two options we understand that the temptation is overwhelming for one gifted with divine abilities and powers of the world to come to aspire to be the Chief Executive Officer of a national or multinational church empire. However, end time wisdom would caution against this with the scriptural example of the temptation for self-centred power that Lucifer succumbed to. Church history is littered with examples of his followers.

Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Of such also is the spirit of end time deception and revelation of the MAN OF SIN that will snare all that receive not love of the Truth but have pleasure in the unrighteousness of the flesh (carnal) nature.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

End time wisdom also understands that the way of CEOs or kings of the world was not God’s way but the choice of His people who had essentially rejected Him.

1Sa 8:4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
1Sa 8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Compromise with the spirit and ways of the world was akin to rejecting the tree of life and partaking of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil where the inevitable outcome is spiritual death. Even King Solomon in all his God-given wisdom, understanding and knowledge ultimately succumbed to the temptation of power and disobeyed the commandment of God on the matter of desirable women; something that caused his father King David also to sin in the matter of beautiful Bathsheba. Church history is also littered with leaders of their following.

1Ki 11:1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
1Ki 11:2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon cleaved unto these in love.

We can then be convinced that God will restore His people or the Church to a condition where His will is done on earth as it is in heaven and thereby establish His kingdom. It is no coincidence that such an important matter was constantly in the prayers of Jesus Christ.

Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

We understand from Scripture, from Church history and from our own experiences that the sovereign will of God can only be done in those that have perfected the maturity of Christ. This condition or place of perfection has no titled leader, Rabbi, Master or Father except for the Head of the Church-Body which is Christ.

Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

In fact, in perfection of the maturity of Christ, differentiations that are of this world such as race, social status or gender do not exist as they are nonexistent in the spiritual kingdom of heaven.

Gal 3:28 There is NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, there is NEITHER BOND NOR FREE, there is NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

In being free from worldly constraints of an established institution (constitutions, religious and government rules and regulations etc.), the fellowship of neighbours will not even need a name; just as the fellowship of a natural family in a neighbourhood does not need a name. Even Jesus Christ did not have an institutional name for His band of disciples, family and followers. They followed the man who is the Christ and Son of God working to establish the kingdom of God within them. Jesus did not cause them to follow an outward institution that is of the government or organization of this world.

Mat 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Thus, end time ultimate restoration of the kingdom of God or direct reign of God over His people is NOT through CEOs, kings, judges, apostles, prophets or pastors. It is, in fact, through a prophetic priesthood. This is the priesthood in Christ that is after the order of Melchizedek and which constitutes the mature end time Church/Bride and Body of Christ.

This priesthood was shadowed by priest and prophet Samuel of whom it was written that God, as it was with Jesus Christ, did not let his words fail in their intentions (fall to the ground). (See D&V List No.1332 titled: Rapid growth of prophet-priests after the order of Samuel)

1Sa 3:19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.

These things are hard to be uttered under traditions of the Old Church Order where people do not or cannot hear the direct teaching and leading of the Spirit of God (dull of hearing). They can only be grasped and understood by spiritual adults in the process of perfecting oneness with God in Christ. That is, people after the priesthood order of Melchizedek.

Joh 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Heb 5:10 Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Heb 5:11 OF WHOM WE HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY, AND HARD TO BE UTTERED, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Mat 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and THEIR EARS ARE DULL OF HEARING, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Mat 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Mat 13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

[See my personal Bible Commentary on Rev 20:6 at the end of this article]

What is the life of the individual and of the fellowship that has progressed beyond the first principles of the doctrine of Christ and is going on unto perfecting Christ?

It is living daily according to the direct teaching and leading of the Spirit (daily bread) so that the will of God is done on earth by His people as it is done in heaven. This can only happen in those that are perfecting the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ so that they have put on priesthood after the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Heb 6:3 And this will we do, if God permit.

Thus the perfect example for us to follow is that of Jesus Christ of the Gospels.

Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

In the appointed end time harvest of the earth (feast of Ingathering/ Tabernacles/Dwelling in Booths), liberated fellowship of neighbours will reflect Israel coming out of bondage to Pharaoh and Egypt in coming out of the Old Church Order. Note the end time indication for fulfilment, in the use of number seven in the following scripture:

Lev 23:41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord SEVEN days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the SEVENTH month.
LEV 23:42 Ye shall dwell in booths SEVEN days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
Lev 23:43 That your generations may know that I MADE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO DWELL IN BOOTHS, WHEN I BROUGHT THEM OUT of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

In many cases, like it was with Jesus, folks of the fellowship of neighbours will be ostracized from the Old Church Order dominated by tradition of elders with subtle and not so subtle Pharaoh-like control (see D&V List No.1338 ). It was such religious tradition of Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes that ironically pitted the Tradition of the Elders against the Commandments of their God.

Mat 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Mat 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Mat 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD by your TRADITION?

As it was with Jesus in the Gospels, folks in the fellowship of neighbours will meet and minister wherever it is convenient (dwelling in booths). In this way their intentions are focussed on the imminent onset of First Resurrection (Rapture) where they will meet the Lord in the clouds of heaven. The signal for onset of dwelling in booths will come from the Spirit of God in due time. This end time event will somewhat be like Jesus Christ who was focussed on His death and resurrection from the onset of His ministry. A time period of 3 ½ years is involved.

Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

In due time, rather than gathering in divided denominations and groups, close neighbours all over the world would gather to form liberated, loving and practical Christian fellowships. They will be outwardly living in villages, suburbs, towns and cities but inwardly living in the kingdom of God, as they shine forth the light of Christ in a world of pervading spiritual darkness. In this way Christians with the favour and direction of God would primarily evangelize their own neighbourhood, villages, towns and nations.

Joh 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

In the teaching and leading of the Spirit, heaven and earth would be bridged as Christian neighbourhood fellowships grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ. In Christ likeness they will go forth in unity and minister to the needs of humanity as it facilitates salvation and possession of the hope of eternal life.

Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the UNITY OF THE FAITH, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may GROW UP INTO HIM IN ALL THINGS, WHICH IS THE HEAD, EVEN CHRIST:

Such end time Christian fellowships will not be led of flesh and blood but led by the Spirit as sons of God who, like Jesus, have direct oneness of communion with God. Of such likeness is the purpose and high calling of God for the creation of humanity in Christ Jesus.

Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times HE MIGHT GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE ALL THINGS IN CHRIST, BOTH WHICH ARE IN HEAVEN, AND WHICH ARE ON EARTH; even in him:

Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Php 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Php 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.
Php 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Only in unity of the faith will these things be perfected and this would be a great and exciting motivating force in them who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Such unity pleases God and would therefore command great blessing that will distinctly set the light of neighbourhood fellowships apart from the Old Church Order.

Php 2:1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any FELLOWSHIP OF THE SPIRIT, if any bowels and mercies,
Php 2:2 Fulfill ye my joy, that YE BE LIKEMINDED, HAVING THE SAME LOVE, BEING OF ONE ACCORD, OF ONE MIND.
Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Php 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Psa 133:1 A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Psa 133:2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
Psa 133:3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life forevermore.

Back to the dream:

** No doubt this dramatic paradigm shift in Christian relationship is going to have teething problems. Thus the dream warns about how some will try to draw neighbours fellowshipping in the liberty of the Spirit back into the clutches of human ordained leaders. Such human ordained leaders are denominational or group church leaders that, through rigid traditions of dogma, structure and programs alienate themselves from the real, personal and practical ministry of the Spirit of God. Thus they cannot take people on unto perfecting the maturity of Christ.

Sometimes such leaders are considered singular flesh and blood representatives of Jesus Christ on earth which is the ultimate expression in leaders of Christian cults. The example alluded to in the dream being the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church (source of the Pontus blessing). We note that this is the opposite expression to that defined by the D&V List (for convenience) as the New End Time Church Order (NETCO).

Gal 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

1Jn 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1Jn 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

** This portion of the dream is warning that there will also be those given to weakness of the flesh that will seek to draw liberated ones back into bondage of Christian division. In anger they will vehemently manifest the spirit of antichrist when they become unsuccessful and defeated.

2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
1Jn 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

When Christ is absolutely the head of His Church then the Body will be self-purifying and no one could come into the community through any other means but through the door of the Cross of Jesus Christ. Thus, those who cannot possess the ministry of the Cross and those given to the spirit of antichrist cannot enter into the kingdom of God within the saints.

Isa 35:8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
Isa 35:9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

We note that those who could not escape the religious institution of Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes of the Gospels could not enter into Christ; neither could the Gentiles that did not believe in Him. Rather, they crucified Him and of such will be the dynamics of the end time fellowship of neighbours that will keep the unconvinced away.

Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

** Ministry to children, both natural and spiritual, is fundamental and will have its proper place in the Christian fellowship of neighbours. Anointed teaching of the Cross and the power of God therein to crucify the flesh nature will produce an inward fertile environment for them to grow. Each child will be endeared and invigorated by spiritual ministry that they would value at their level, as symbolized in the dream by toys and money at their place settings.

1Pe 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1Pe 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Fundamental to their nurturing will be progressive weaning into the direct teaching and leading of the Spirit. For the children, nothing in the world would compare to knowing and experiencing reality of the love, power, fellowship and purpose of the God that is with them always. They will have oneness of communion with God so that they speak His words from within them. Competition from personal entertainment and preoccupation with external mobile technology of this world will be mute.

Isa 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isa 55:12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Isa 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Thus those who have been weaned from childhood would be partakers of strong meat and like their spiritual adult neighbours, they would now have qualified mandate to be evangelists and teachers wherever they go.

Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their SENSES EXERCISED TO DISCERN BOTH GOOD AND EVIL.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Ability to discern both good and evil is rightly dividing fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that pervades the nations of the world. It is an end time Church (NETCO) ability that will set it apart, as it was with Joseph and Daniel, from the Old Church Order and from all other religions and spiritual entities of the world.

2Ti 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH.

Dan 5:11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
Dan 5:12 Forasmuch as AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT, AND KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING, INTERPRETING OF DREAMS, AND SHOWING OF HARD SENTENCES, AND DISSOLVING OF DOUBTS, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

The fellowship of neighbours cannot be large as correct growth to maturity requires adults to leave home and set up their own families and neighbourhood fellowships under the auspices of the Holy Spirit. Numbers will not matter as even where two or three are gathered, the Spirit of Christ is there for divine communion that will feed and satisfy all.

Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Thus neighbourhood fellowships will be liberated from worldly constraints of institutionalized church, for the Temple that they build is fundamentally a spiritual one. This is a key to rightly dividing the Word of Truth so that the Spirit of the Word of God will cleanse and set them free.

Joh 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Col 2:19 AND NOT HOLDING THE HEAD, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Col 2:20 Wherefore IF YE BE DEAD WITH CHRIST FROM THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Col 2:21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Col 2:22 Which all are to perish with the using;) AFTER THE COMMANDMENTS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN?
Col 2:23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honor to THE SATISFYING OF THE FLESH.

1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

Grateful acknowledgement is given to those throughout Church history and throughout nations that have planted and watered so that God can give the increase and produce the end time harvest of the earth that is now before us.

1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1Co 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
1Co 3:9 For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Joh 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Joh 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

RESTORATION OF THE DIRECT REIGN OF GOD OVER HIS PEOPLE

Restoration of the direct reign of God is NOT through kings, judges, apostles, prophets or pastors Mat_23:8-12 but through a prophetic priesthood - i.e. the priesthood in Christ that is after the order of Melchizedek and which constitutes the end time perfected Church/Bride and Body of Christ.

" they shall be priests of God and of Christ" Rev_20:6

Priesthood of the order of Melchizedek is priesthood of the NT righteousness of God through faith

Melchizedek - Possible manifestation of the angel of the Lord Heb_7:3; Gen_14:18-20 as a figure of Jesus Christ Heb_6:20 King of Salem/Shalem which was an early name for Jerusalem Psa_76:2
- Pre-Law King and High Priest of the dispensation of righteousness by faith in the Word of God Joh_1:1-4 as represented by Abraham Gen_15:1-6; Rom_4:13; Rom_4:16; Heb_6:13-14; Heb_7:21; Heb_7:28; Rom_4:8-16

Melchizedek received tithes of all Gen_14:20 that Abraham and his personally trained servants born in his own house Gen_14:14 got from the defeat of the 4 dominant kings Gen_14:1-7 of the Promised Land Gen_13:12-15 Then Abraham gave back all that belonged to Lot and to the king of Sodom where Lot dwelt Gen_14:11-12

Melchizedek king of Peace as OT typology of Jesus Christ Heb_5:5-10; Heb_6:19-20; Psa_110:4 king and priest on his throne & receiver of tithes Heb_7:1-3; Zec_6:12-13 for his bread and wine provision (body and blood of Jesus for the righteousness of God by faith 1Co_11:23-32) Under the Law there was a figure also of Jesus Christ Heb_7:6-8 in the office of priesthood of the sons of Levi receiving tithes of their brethren of the seed of Abraham Heb_7:4-5; Heb_7:9-11; Thus the OT priesthood of Levites also gave tithes in Abraham to Melchizedek as to the greater priesthood Heb_7:12-28 of the NT Covenant of faith Joh_3:16

" the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale" Gen_14:17 : The king's dale was perhaps in the region of Jerusalem 2Sa_18:18 where Melchizedek king of Salem Gen_14:18 and Bera the king if Sodom met with Abraham after his return Gen_14:17 from the defeat of the 4 kings. Here Abraham was served bread and wine and was blessed by Melchizedek and Abraham "gave tithes of all" to Him Gen_14:18-20 Here also Abraham restored that which belonged to the king of Sodom Gen_14:21-24

PRIESTHOOD AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK IS PRIESTHOOD OF PERFECTION OF THE BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD AND SONS OF GOD

Birth of the first begotten of God into the world Heb_1:6; Rom_11:16; 1Co_15:20-23
Jesus Christ was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness at His resurrection from the dead Rom_1:4; Psa_2:7; Heb_1:5; Act_13:26-39

Birth of the begotten overcomers in Christ into heaven Rev_12:1-5; Rom_11:16; Heb_6:19
Overcomers are to be declared the sons of God with power by the spirit of holiness at their resurrection from the dead by faith Mat_16:24-25; Heb_4:16 and by fulfilment at First Resurrection - i.e. at the Rapture of firstfruits Rom_8:23; 1Co_15:20-23; Jas_1:18; Rev_14:4; Rev_7:1-8; Rev_14:1-5; 1Th_4:13-17; 1Co_15:50-58; and general harvest from Great Tribulation Rev_7:9-17; Rev_11:1-12

Jesus Christ was also declared to be a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek by His obedience and perfection through sufferings and by His resurrection from the dead Heb_5:5 "And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek" Heb_5:5-10
