~~ Two Mothers ~~
Mt 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mt 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Notice that this generation began with Abraham. It is the promised Seed of Christ. It is spiritual.)
Ge 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Ge 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. (Notice that this generation began with Adam. It is earthly, fleshly.)
This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. What generation is he speaking about? There are only two. See the above Scriptures. The generation of Jesus Christ and the generations of Adam. Both of these generations will exist until the end. The tares and the wheat grow together, in the field, until the end of the world. The Two grow together, in the same temple. One is our outward man, and the other is our inward man. One is in bondage, due to corruption. The other is free, due to the grace of Christ.
Mt 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mt 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, Mt 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mt 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Mt 24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; Lu 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Lu 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Lu 17:33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. Lu 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Lu 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Lu 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
These Two men are the same two we started with. They are the fathers of the entire world. It is Christ and Adam. These two grow together until the end. One is natural, the other is spiritual. But they both exist together, in the same temple. Your body is the temple of the Lord. But the outward man is still old Adam and must be destroyed. We must mortify the deeds of the body so the inner man, Christ, may live.
If you seek to save this life, you will lose it. We must die to old self. But if we lose this life, for His sake, deny self, take up our cross and follow Jesus, all the way to our Calvary, then we shall live, eternally. Lu 17:32 Remember Lot's wife.
Remember Lot's wife. She turned and looked back. She loved this earthly life. She did not listen to the messengers which God sent to tell her to flee and not seek to save her life, or to look back. Do not look back to the old sinful life you have left behind. Do not build again the things you have destroyed. Do not seek to save this life, for you will only lose it, eternally. You will have stayed with your earthly father and mother. You will not have left them to cleave to your ‘wife’. We must be dead to the law to be married to another, which is Christ. This message is prevalent all through Scripture.
You will either follow your first father, Adam and deny Christ; or you will deny Adam, first man, and follow Christ. Both will not live together eternally. One must die. If we live after the flesh, we shall die. The law is the flesh. The law is death. So where did this law come from? That first man, Adam. It is the flesh. It is the works of the flesh.
There were two women, grinding together at the mill. One is making spiritual BREAD. The other is giving out polluted bread. One is the natural mother, old Jerusalem. The other is the spiritual Mother, New Jerusalem.
Ga 4:21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? Ga 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [Abraham is the father of many nations. He is the father of both the flesh children and the spiritual children. But these two groups had two different Mothers. He is using their natural lives to show the spiritual truth of God. In the allegory, Abraham represents God. God is the father of both the natural children and the spiritual. God created the natural, Adam and Eve. These are the parents of the natural children. They all had the same Father, so where is the difference shown? It is in the Mothers. Abraham was the father of both Ishmael and Isaac. But these two men had two different Mothers. That is the difference. One was a bondmaid and the other was a freewoman. One was after the flesh and the other was of promise.]
Ga 4:23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Ga 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. Ga 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [This is very clearly revealing the old Law Covenant, which was given to Moses on Mt. Sinai. This is nothing but those Ten Commandments. This is the bond child. This is the bond mother. If you are born after the flesh, or follow this law, you are in bondage and will not inherit eternal life. Life cannot come by law. It is death. This is the children of the fleshly mother. Eve is the fleshly mother of the fleshly children. Her outward ‘man’ is this mother. She gave birth to both Cain and Abel, in the flesh. She was NOT the spiritual Mother of Cain. She was the spiritual Mother of Abel.
When Eve said, God has given me ANOTHER SEED in place of Abel, whom Cain slew, that was the spiritual MOTHER speaking inside Eve. It was the Heavenly Jerusalem. It is the SPIRIT. This Spirit of the Holy Jerusalem was denying Cain as her SEED. She knew that Christ was HER SEED.
The outward ‘man’ represents this LAW. It is the bond child. It is the bondmaid. Her children are DEAD, spiritually.]
Ga 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Ga 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. [The desolate are those of the bond child or bondmaid. It is those who follow the LAW of bondage, given at Mt Sinai. Jesus pronounced them desolate. That law has many more children than the married wife, which is the Grace Children, or those of the freewoman.
Eve is the Mother of us all. Her fleshly children are those who live after the flesh, or follow law. But she is also the Mother of the spiritual or free children. She is the New Jerusalem. There are two Jerusalem’s.
The Jerusalem, which now is, refers to this outward man. It is the fleshly people. This Jerusalem is not an earthly city. It is the entire race of human beings. If we live after the flesh, we shall die. We must be born again and become children of the Spiritual Eve, or the heavenly Jerusalem. It is the City of the Living God. Eve, the spiritual woman, is the MOTHER of these spiritual children. These are the Grace Children, who follow the Gospel message, not the law message.]
Ga 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Ac 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Ac 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
[So, he is clearly speaking here to the people who come into the Grace covenant, by obeying this gospel message, which began on the Day of Pentecost. It is a Pentecostal message. All who reject this gospel message, and refuse to obey it, are the bond children. Adam is the only father you will ever have. The natural Eve, or old Jerusalem, is your mother. She is the Hagar. You will either be ‘mothered’ by one of these Jerusalem’s or the other. You will either be born by Babylon, or New Jerusalem. It is two women. It is two covenants. It is two Cities. We are all born first into the old Jerusalem. It is fleshly. But those of us who obey the Gospel message, rejecting the Law message, coming to Christ, by the gospel, are those of the New Jerusalem. We now have our citizenship in heaven. We now belong to the heavenly kingdom. This is the spiritual MOTHER.]
Ga 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Ga 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. Ga 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
The bond children, or those of law, the flesh, first-man Adam, persecute those who are born after the Spirit. The New Jerusalem is the New Covenant of Grace. It is the City of God. It is the Kingdom of God. It is Eve. She is the holy Mother of us all. She is this New Jerusalem. In Heaven this New Jerusalem is the only help meet which God ever gave. It is Eve. She is the Mother of all. Adam is only the father of the fleshly children. He is NOT the father of the righteous. Abraham is the Father of the righteous. This is why the Generation of Christ (Spiritual), began at Abraham, not Adam. The Genealogy in Matthew does not include Adam. It begins with Abraham. Christ was called the son of Abraham and David, not Adam. But in Luke, the fleshly genealogy, Jesus (Fleshly), was the son of Adam. It is the outward man. Jesus also had a fleshly outward man, which he had to crucify and mortify the deeds of. He was born both of the bond maid and the freewoman. He was naturally of the first man, Adam. He was made of a woman, made UNDER THE LAW. But he died to this outward man, and lived after the Spirit. Thus he was born of the freewoman. Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. This is why he refused to stone the woman taken in adultery. He was casting out that bond child and living after the Spirit, which is Grace. He gave the woman, Grace. Praise the Lord.
So Jesus cast out the bond child, the outward man. He was raised in a new body, a new life. He had crucified this old man, while he lived. So now he is born of the freewoman. He is of the New Jerusalem.
We too, must cast out this bond child of our outward man, or human flesh, which is of old Adam. We must live after the new, freewoman, the spiritual child. We must live after the Spirit, or the Holy Ghost, Grace.
Those two women were grinding out the meal, or giving out the bread. They grind the wheat or the corn, which is the doctrine they teach. Those who teach law, are this Babylon, or the bondwoman. Their lives are the son of this bondmaid. Cast out this bond child. It shall not inherit with the free children. It will not inherit eternal life.
Only the children who follow the Holy Mother of us all, who taught her children the gospel message of Grace, will have eternal life. The bondmaid is old Adam, or the outward man. She teaches her children that old law covenant, which gendered to bondage. It is the law given on Mt Sinai. All who follow that message are bond children and will not inherit with the free children. If you are children of the freewoman, you will live after the Spirit and obey the gospel message.
The law did not teach us of Christ. Show it to me if you think it did. Where is it? Where is baptism for the remission of sins taught in that old law? I want to see it. Where is it taught to turn the other cheek and not seek vengeance? (The law said, an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth…you slap me, I slap you back.) Where did that law teach us to be born again? I want to read that in the law of Moses. Where did the law teach us that it is the blood of Jesus Christ which cleanses us from sin?
Where did the law teach us that we offer up spiritual sacrifices to God, not old animals and burning incense? Where did the law teach us that if we have two coats to give to someone who has none? Where did the law teach us not to imagine evil against our neighbor? It is the grace message, which is also recorded in the Prophets. There is no way in this world, that the law message will get anyone saved or to being spiritual. It cannot bring you to Christ or salvation. They were SHUT UP UNDER THAT, TILL THE SEED SHOULD COME. It kept them in bondage till the time when God sent His Son into this world. That is the only way it brought them to Christ = it held them in bondage until that time!
How did that law bring anyone to Christ? Or Salvation? Show me. Where is it acceptable with God to offer the blood of animals for cleansing of sins? Show me. That is of law, not of grace. It is required by law. God never required this. So it proves that the law is not of God. It was punishment for sins. Show me where the law teaches that we are all ONE. Where are the women included as the same with men, under that law. It is simply not there. It is not the gospel truth. Only the gospel truth can get anyone to Jesus Christ and salvation. Only Grace, the new Jerusalem, is the MOTHER OF US ALL. That Holy City is EVE. She is the Mother of us all. Abraham fathered the natural and the spiritual children, or nations. BUT, only Sarah was the Mother of the spiritual children. She is the same in the word of God as Eve. Adam fathered them all, but only Eve Mothered the Spiritual children.
The Grace message, even in the Prophets, said that the DAUGHTERS shall prophecy, the very same as the sons. But what saith the law? Let your women be silent. No salvation for you women. No spiritual ministry for you women, under that law. It is DEATH. It is darkness. You women, who accept your rightful place in Christ, and step out in faith and grace, ministering as One WITH THE SONS of God, are the ones who will ‘MOTHER’ other spiritual children for God. You are the MOTHERS IN ISRAEL.
This is a very deep message. But it is so clearly laid out in all Scripture, till I cannot understand how the vast majority of people are totally blind to this truth. The vast majority of people are blindly following that fleshly mother, law. You are of the old Jerusalem, which now is and is in bondage with her children. It has not one thing to do with the earthly city, called Jerusalem. That is just a man’s work. The true Jerusalem is of God, not of man.
Eve, the mother of us all, went into the spiritual truth and understanding of the things of God. Adam left off the spiritual things and ate only the DUST. He was of the earth, earthly. He never came into the spiritual things of God. He is the old earthly Jerusalem, of the flesh, which follows law.
This truth is exactly why everyone who follows that old law, hate the true way or plan of salvation, as taught in the Book of Acts. I have yet to see any who hold to that old law, as a way of serving God, who do not hate this true Pentecostal message. I have not seen any yet, who believe, obey and teach to be water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, or of the receiving of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the true evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
Why do they reject this message? It is because they are born of the bond maid. They are bond children. They are fleshly. You will either hold to one master and hate the other or you will obey one and disobey the other. You cannot do both. You cannot serve by Grace and by law. It is impossible and this is why they all HATE the Acts 2:38 message of Grace. They hate having to come in by receiving the Holy Ghost. Most of them despise to even mention Holy Ghost. Why? It is simply because they hate the spiritual bread, which the Holy Mother grinds out. They love the old manna which fell in that wilderness of sin. They love being in bondage of law. They hold to the works of the law, the flesh. It is nothing but death and condemnation. This is why they are all blind to this gospel truth. They even deny that it is the preaching of the gospel which brings us to Christ. They can only hear the law message, so they must deny the GOSPEL. It is the GRACE OF GOD.
