They will learn righteousness
By: Jo Smith~~~~~ August 20, 2019
Isaiah 26:9
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:10
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
There is coming a great day when the inhabitants of this world will learn righteousness. But what will cause this? It says, when the judgments of the Lord are in the earth, the inhabitants of this world will learn righteousness.
In the Book of Acts we have recorded the account of the First Witness of Jesus Christ, the Apostolic Church group that began on the Day of Pentecost. This group of Holy Ghost filled or empowered people had so much knowledge of truth and power of God that they literally ‘turned the world upside down.’.
What took place there? They changed the world from that OT Law to the NT covenant of Grace. During the time of this great powerful witness church Satan’s hands were tied, so to speak. Of course he did cause the evil people to persecute and murder those witnesses.
After this Witness Church was taken down there came up a group of churches, called the seven. In the Book of Revelation we have the record of this group of mixed up folks. This is a gentile church which took down all the truth, trampled the truth, denied all the power of God for the people of their day, denied the Baptism of the Holy Ghost that had empowered that first Witness, and by doing so, took the people into darkness, error, lies and a powerless church.
According to Romans 1 they changed the truth of God into a lie. They began saying that Jesus was God; that God left heaven and became a human baby, that was part God and part man, or a God-man, or God incarnate. Yet Scripture does not teach any of this. They changed a full kingdom into a three person god. Yet Scripture does not say this either.
They took the power of God away from the people by saying all one must do is just ‘believe’ and that is it. No power. No life. No truth. Just a dead form.
The Catholic Church brought up the pope’s lies. They brought back the old priest system that God had done away with. Out of this came forth many other ‘churches’ which held to all the same old lies and idol worship. None of these dead churches had any power or life from God. This continues till down at the time we are right now, with the seventh church being BLIND, NAKED, WRETCHED, MISERABLE, POOR AND DOES NOT KNOW IT.
One of the many lies that the church system has blinded folks with is that the Two Witnesses in Revelation is 2 actual men. Some say it is Elijah and Moses, with not one Scripture to back this up with. See, the biggest error is that the people no longer see the need to prove all things with WRITTEN SCRIPTURE. They just accept whatever their ‘man’ or ‘church’ tells them. So the lies have blinded them all.
This lie of a 2 men witnesses has kept people from coming to see the real truth of what or who these witnesses are and how they will bring in the kingdom of Christ to this earth.
As I have already stated, that Apostolic Church is that first Witness. It is a full group of people with ONE MIND AND ONE ACCORD…..all believing the same thing; knowing the same truth; being in agreement. This is the way that Jesus and God are ONE. It is the way we are all ONE.
After that powerful Apostolic group died off the earth, the ‘witnesses’ then lay ‘dead’ in the ‘streets’ or those seven churches with no life, no power or anything that was a witness of God’s truth.
Zechariah 13 King James Version (KJV)
13 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
(This proves there was to be no more prophets after Jesus came.)
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
This chapter begins with the crucifixion of Jesus. This is the day the fountain was opened for sin and uncleanness. This is they day that God cut off prophets as the way to speak to his people. Verse 7 showed the crucifixion of Jesus and the later scattering of the people.
Now verse 8 is what I am teaching on today. ‘It SHALL come to pass that. In all the land two parts shall be cut off and die, but the third shall be left.
9. I will bring the third part through THE FIRE and will define them as silver and gold is tried and refined. This group is the people of God.
So what was cut off and died? First that OT law group. Then second that whorish church system in the Book of Revelation. = the church that took all the truth away, trampled it, beginning even in the days of the Apostles, as they told those Christians that they had to go BACK to the law of Moses and live by that.
This false church continues until the Baptism of Fire anoints the SECOND WITNESS group of God’s powerful people.
This third group is the one that will be purified by this FIRE and those that we will refine by showing them the truth and the righteous judgments of the Lord.
Read or rather STUDY Joel 2. This chapter shows the ministry of this Second Witness.
But I want to show you how it is also prophesied here about both groups of witnesses:
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
~~~~~~~
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
Verse 28 is speaking about the baptism of the Holy Ghost which was poured out on the Day of Pentecost. It was for all people; all flesh, for it is the moving of God for salvation to the entire world. IN this move of God, BOTH sons and DAUGHTERS prophesy, they have spiritual dreams and visions. Yet the group of evil men took away this light and brought up darkness saying that women had to be silent; could not minister and must STILL BE RULED OVER. Thus Satan took this move of God down and brought up the whorish churches in Revelation.
At the ending of this blind church time, verse 29 happens. Notice it says AND ALSO. Also means IN ADDITION to the above, something ELSE happens. Notice also at the end of verse 28 there is a COLON. This means that another total and completely different clause it being spoken, but on the same subject.
So this means that another outpouring from God is going to happen. This outpour is the baptism of FIRE. This baptism is not for all flesh. It is just for the servants and handmaids of God. The signs of the outpouring is sun darkened, moon to blood , blood, fire and pillars of smoke.
This outpouring of power from God brings in the Second Witness, which will bring the judgments of the Lord on this earth; Psalm 149 and Revelation 11.
Now I will show you how to define these two witnesses.
Zechariah 4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Rev. 11: 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
.
Placing the two above scriptures together it shows that there was seven lamps on a gold candlestick. This is the seven churches in Revelation. But it shows that there was two olive trees on EITHER Side of of that candlestick. Now it said these are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. This is the two groups of people who received the OUTPOURINGS of the Spirit of God, to be empowered with the spirit of God. So it proves that these two anointed Groups of people are those TWO WITNESSES. It is NOT 2 MEN. It is two groups of powerful people of God.
But notice that they come up on EITHER SIDE OF THOSE SEVEN. This can only mean one thing and the Word of God proves this: One comes BEFORE those seven and the other one comes AFTER those seven.
At the end of the seventh church the condition is terrible: blind, naked, miserable poor, totally deceived. They are powerless, having a form of ‘godliness’ but denying the power thereof. From such turn away.
This church is in the same rotten condition the law system was in at the time of Jesus Christ when he nailed it to his cross and took it out of the way. But that whorish church brought it back up. So now the two are together in a church that God spews out of his mouth.
But when this takes place, God will anoint that Second Witness with power from on high. Fire will proceed out of their MOUTHS to do a mighty work for God. Naturally, this means the WORDS THAT THEY SPEAK.
Jesus said, the Words I SPEAK are NOT MINE, but the Father’s who sent me. This has led folks into all kinds of delusions and lies. When Jesus spoke, IT WAS NOT HIS OWN WORD. It was God’s word. What I am telling you now is not my word, but God’s word.
When Jesus said, before Abraham was I am….it was God’s word; not Jesus’s word. He was not bearing witness of himself. He was bearing witness of his Father. So it is with all his teaching.
His words was the FOOD, or flesh, or bread of God sent from heaven. This is the ‘thing’ that came down from heaven….it was the WORD OF FLESH, OR MEAT OR BREAD THAT GOD GAVE THIS WORLD THROUGH THE MOUTH OF JESUS AND LATER THE APOSTLES AND NOW ME. This flesh or meat or bread is the same flesh that Jesus himself ate to have eternal life. This is his FLESH; his spiritual FOOD; not speaking of his natural body.
Jesus said, except you EAT MY FLESH, and DRINK MY BLOOD, you have no life in you. Most people who heard that walked away from him……having heard it with their carnal mind….. they thought he was speaking of the fleshly man they were looking at. So they knew they could not eat the human body of this man or drink his human blood. So they were baffled and walked away, into the darkness of error.
The same error has almost everyone blinded today, as they still think that the FLESH that he spoke of was his human body. They say, The Word was made FLESH and dwelt among us and we beheld the glory. Yet Jesus himself said, he had to suffer before he entered into glory.
They still think the FLESH that the word was made into was his human body or Mary’s baby; the man who died on the cross. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus was not telling anyone to eat his human body. There are two different kinds of FLESH mentioned in John 6.
John 6: 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
In this chapter I will prove to you that Jesus is NOT the bread that came down from heaven. Jesus is not the flesh that we are to eat.
Jesus is not the word of God. Jesus SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD AND THAT IS THE BREAD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN THAT WE MUST EAT OR COME TO UNDERSTAND TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
V31. They tell Jesus that Moses gave them bread from heaven………. They are seeing this in the natural or carnal mind. V32 Jesus told them that Moses did not give them the bread from heaven. He is speaking of spiritual BREAD. He said, My Father gives you the true bread from heaven……he does not mean his own human body. We are not to eat this human man’s body or flesh.
V33, he said, the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven. So now this proves that he himself is not what came down from heaven. That which came down from heaven is what we must EAT TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:
Now you will think that this proves that Jesus is saying that Jesus is this bread of life….. but not so. He is not telling us to eat himself. He already said, the words I speak are NOT MINE, BUT THE FATHERS. He already said I do not testify of myself. So it is the FATHER’S WORDS that came down from heaven.. it is the father’s word speaking inside Jesus; it is the Father’s word that is the bread of life and that we must eat. IT IS SCRIPTURE. It is the ANOINTING. His Word is the anointing and this is the heavenly BREAD OF FLESH.
You who make light of Scripture; do not care much for it….do not study it; after men gave their lives to give it to us; you who think it matters not what it says….you are NOT EATING THE BREAD OF LIFE.
~~~~~~~
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
~~~~~~
The Jews murmured at him for saying I am the bread which came down from heaven……. See, they were seeing his words as natural like you do. They thought he meant himself…. His human person. See, they were looking at a human man and that is all they could see. They could not see the Word of God inside this man.
They knew this man personally. They knew who Jesus was. They said, this is the son of Joseph and we know his mother, so then how could he have come down from heaven? [this error causes folks today to think that Jesus or God lived in heaven before he came to earth as a baby; God does not teach such as that.]
That is what you all think also….that this human being is the Word of God. They were closer to the truth though because at least they knew Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph. But see, they did not understand the CHRIST INSIDE JESUS. They did not know the anointing that was the Christ which the man, Jesus, brought forth with his obedience to God. But it is the CHRIST who is speaking. It is the CHIRST, NOT THE MAN JESUS, SAYING I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. (If you study Mat one, and count the Generations , you can see that Christ is different from Jesus, for Jesus is # 41 and Christ is # 42.)
Now, this next verse is the main theme of this message and I will get to it quickly:
~~~~~~~`
[45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.]
~~~~~~~~
THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD. Now that is what I am trying to get to today; this new revelation that God gave me. (We, the second witness, will show all of God’s children the real truth and their spiritual eyes will be opened and they will know the truth and be set free. They will all be taught the truth and come out of their blindness and be converted to the real truth and be saved. Even those who have died without knowing the truth, but were honestly trying to serve Jesus and God and live a decent life, will be brought into the real truth and we will then all become one big glorious kingdom of Christ on this earth.)
So where in the prophets is this mentioned?
Isa 54: 13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
~~~~~~~~~
That is God speaking to Jesus in prophecy: all your children will be taught of the Lord. Then why are so many of his children in darkness? I am going to show you in this message and also how they will get to the light or truth.
Zech 14: 3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (This is when the woman in Rev 12 FLED to the wilderness. Jesus told those in Judea to FLEE to the mountains. This is where it is speaking of).
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: (What day is he speaking of? It is while they are in that valley or the seven churches)
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
~~~~~~~`
There is a Day of Jesus Christ, or a Day of the Lord.
In this DAY He will fight against all who fight against his people.
V4
He stands on the Mt of Olives. Now Romans 9 and 10 explain that his kingdom or body or people is the Olive tree with him as the root of this tree. Israel is not this Root. Jesus is. (of course Jesus is Israel, if you can understand it)…. We are branches on this tree, so this is that Mt of Olives.
When He stood on this mountain of his kingdom, it split into. This is because it was all of his people beginning on the Day of Pentecost.
As I have already explained, the group in the book of Acts is that first Witness. That is the part of this mountain that moved to the North. Then the other part of this split mountain moved to the South, thus leaving a great valley or wilderness in between those TWO HALVES.
Those two witnesses, one on the right side of the candlestick and the other on the other side of the candlestick are these two halves of this mountain. Their ‘time’ is told of in Revelation 12…two times the woman FLED to this valley of the mountain.
That valley between the two halves is the SEVEN CHURCHES. See, when she fled to the valley or wilderness it was in those seven churches and since they had lost the truth it was never clear light to them. It was not clear as day nor was it dark as night, because they did at least think they were serving Jesus.
It was a day known to the Lord as not day, nor night. The light or truth was not clear or totally dark. So they had a dark cloudy day and did not know which way to go.
But it said at evening time it shall be LIGHT.
So when is the evening time and why is it light in the evening time, which is normally dark? This evening time is the time of the SECOND WITNESS. Yes. When this second witness comes on the scene, they will again bring the true light to this world.
See, Genesis one is not about the creation of a natural world as everyone thinks. It is the MINISTRY OF THESE TWO WITNESSES.
SEE, THE EVENING AND THE MORNING. The evening and the morning. The evening and the morning. It is not about a natural 24 hour day; it is about these two witnesses ministry.
Jesus told us his spirit in us will be a well of LIVING WATER springing up into everlasting life. See it is this, waters going out from Jerusalem, (not that natural city, but the body of Christ)…the former and hinder sea is these two times of empowering from God).
That living water is going to go out from this second witness and enlighten this world and then the ’stammers’ will begin to Speak Plainly. This is showing that now they have no real truth but then they will understand and speak the real truth, to eternal life.
Zec 14: 11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
[OK, let’s take it a verse at a time; this is speaking of a time of peace when all wars and evil has been done away with).
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
(Now I know this one sounds horrible, if you see it carnal or naturally speaking. But it is actually wonderful when you see it spiritual, which it IS. Their flesh is the carnal food they ate or the whore’s lies. This will consume away as they stand upon their feet, or step up to the truth of Serving Jesus in spirit and in truth. That old flesh of the filth will be washed away.
Their eyes consuming away in their holes, is that blinded eye being taken out and a good seeing eye of spirituality given to them.
Their tongue consuming away in their mouth is that lying tongue of deception being burned out and a tongue speaking the truth is given to them.
All of this will be accomplished by the teaching of the second witness. We will finally get the lost children of God to come to truth and the scales will be taken off their blinded eyes and they will see and come to the truth.
Salvation will be given to them then. The stammers will begin to speak plainly for they will now see and understand the truth that they have rejected all these days.)
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
(This is when we reach out to those who are now blinded and lead them into the real truth; which I hope this message will help do).
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
(The wealth of all the heathen speaks of the people who were brought to Jesus from among the heathen. Gold and Silver speaks of the great things of God. The Apparel is clothing them with righteousness()
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
(If they do not come up to worship Jesus our King, then they will not receive the glorious rain of the blessing that this worship gives. It is not natural rain.)
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
(This is when all of Satan’s evil people have been cast out and only the true people of God will now inhabit this earth. What a glorious day that will be).
Praise God for giving me this glorious message.

Isaiah 26:9
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:10
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
There is coming a great day when the inhabitants of this world will learn righteousness. But what will cause this? It says, when the judgments of the Lord are in the earth, the inhabitants of this world will learn righteousness.
In the Book of Acts we have recorded the account of the First Witness of Jesus Christ, the Apostolic Church group that began on the Day of Pentecost. This group of Holy Ghost filled or empowered people had so much knowledge of truth and power of God that they literally ‘turned the world upside down.’.
What took place there? They changed the world from that OT Law to the NT covenant of Grace. During the time of this great powerful witness church Satan’s hands were tied, so to speak. Of course he did cause the evil people to persecute and murder those witnesses.
After this Witness Church was taken down there came up a group of churches, called the seven. In the Book of Revelation we have the record of this group of mixed up folks. This is a gentile church which took down all the truth, trampled the truth, denied all the power of God for the people of their day, denied the Baptism of the Holy Ghost that had empowered that first Witness, and by doing so, took the people into darkness, error, lies and a powerless church.
According to Romans 1 they changed the truth of God into a lie. They began saying that Jesus was God; that God left heaven and became a human baby, that was part God and part man, or a God-man, or God incarnate. Yet Scripture does not teach any of this. They changed a full kingdom into a three person god. Yet Scripture does not say this either.
They took the power of God away from the people by saying all one must do is just ‘believe’ and that is it. No power. No life. No truth. Just a dead form.
The Catholic Church brought up the pope’s lies. They brought back the old priest system that God had done away with. Out of this came forth many other ‘churches’ which held to all the same old lies and idol worship. None of these dead churches had any power or life from God. This continues till down at the time we are right now, with the seventh church being BLIND, NAKED, WRETCHED, MISERABLE, POOR AND DOES NOT KNOW IT.
One of the many lies that the church system has blinded folks with is that the Two Witnesses in Revelation is 2 actual men. Some say it is Elijah and Moses, with not one Scripture to back this up with. See, the biggest error is that the people no longer see the need to prove all things with WRITTEN SCRIPTURE. They just accept whatever their ‘man’ or ‘church’ tells them. So the lies have blinded them all.
This lie of a 2 men witnesses has kept people from coming to see the real truth of what or who these witnesses are and how they will bring in the kingdom of Christ to this earth.
As I have already stated, that Apostolic Church is that first Witness. It is a full group of people with ONE MIND AND ONE ACCORD…..all believing the same thing; knowing the same truth; being in agreement. This is the way that Jesus and God are ONE. It is the way we are all ONE.
After that powerful Apostolic group died off the earth, the ‘witnesses’ then lay ‘dead’ in the ‘streets’ or those seven churches with no life, no power or anything that was a witness of God’s truth.
Zechariah 13 King James Version (KJV)
13 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
3 And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
(This proves there was to be no more prophets after Jesus came.)
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
This chapter begins with the crucifixion of Jesus. This is the day the fountain was opened for sin and uncleanness. This is they day that God cut off prophets as the way to speak to his people. Verse 7 showed the crucifixion of Jesus and the later scattering of the people.
Now verse 8 is what I am teaching on today. ‘It SHALL come to pass that. In all the land two parts shall be cut off and die, but the third shall be left.
9. I will bring the third part through THE FIRE and will define them as silver and gold is tried and refined. This group is the people of God.
So what was cut off and died? First that OT law group. Then second that whorish church system in the Book of Revelation. = the church that took all the truth away, trampled it, beginning even in the days of the Apostles, as they told those Christians that they had to go BACK to the law of Moses and live by that.
This false church continues until the Baptism of Fire anoints the SECOND WITNESS group of God’s powerful people.
This third group is the one that will be purified by this FIRE and those that we will refine by showing them the truth and the righteous judgments of the Lord.
Read or rather STUDY Joel 2. This chapter shows the ministry of this Second Witness.
But I want to show you how it is also prophesied here about both groups of witnesses:
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
~~~~~~~
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.
Verse 28 is speaking about the baptism of the Holy Ghost which was poured out on the Day of Pentecost. It was for all people; all flesh, for it is the moving of God for salvation to the entire world. IN this move of God, BOTH sons and DAUGHTERS prophesy, they have spiritual dreams and visions. Yet the group of evil men took away this light and brought up darkness saying that women had to be silent; could not minister and must STILL BE RULED OVER. Thus Satan took this move of God down and brought up the whorish churches in Revelation.
At the ending of this blind church time, verse 29 happens. Notice it says AND ALSO. Also means IN ADDITION to the above, something ELSE happens. Notice also at the end of verse 28 there is a COLON. This means that another total and completely different clause it being spoken, but on the same subject.
So this means that another outpouring from God is going to happen. This outpour is the baptism of FIRE. This baptism is not for all flesh. It is just for the servants and handmaids of God. The signs of the outpouring is sun darkened, moon to blood , blood, fire and pillars of smoke.
This outpouring of power from God brings in the Second Witness, which will bring the judgments of the Lord on this earth; Psalm 149 and Revelation 11.
Now I will show you how to define these two witnesses.
Zechariah 4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Rev. 11: 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
.
Placing the two above scriptures together it shows that there was seven lamps on a gold candlestick. This is the seven churches in Revelation. But it shows that there was two olive trees on EITHER Side of of that candlestick. Now it said these are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. This is the two groups of people who received the OUTPOURINGS of the Spirit of God, to be empowered with the spirit of God. So it proves that these two anointed Groups of people are those TWO WITNESSES. It is NOT 2 MEN. It is two groups of powerful people of God.
But notice that they come up on EITHER SIDE OF THOSE SEVEN. This can only mean one thing and the Word of God proves this: One comes BEFORE those seven and the other one comes AFTER those seven.
At the end of the seventh church the condition is terrible: blind, naked, miserable poor, totally deceived. They are powerless, having a form of ‘godliness’ but denying the power thereof. From such turn away.
This church is in the same rotten condition the law system was in at the time of Jesus Christ when he nailed it to his cross and took it out of the way. But that whorish church brought it back up. So now the two are together in a church that God spews out of his mouth.
But when this takes place, God will anoint that Second Witness with power from on high. Fire will proceed out of their MOUTHS to do a mighty work for God. Naturally, this means the WORDS THAT THEY SPEAK.
Jesus said, the Words I SPEAK are NOT MINE, but the Father’s who sent me. This has led folks into all kinds of delusions and lies. When Jesus spoke, IT WAS NOT HIS OWN WORD. It was God’s word. What I am telling you now is not my word, but God’s word.
When Jesus said, before Abraham was I am….it was God’s word; not Jesus’s word. He was not bearing witness of himself. He was bearing witness of his Father. So it is with all his teaching.
His words was the FOOD, or flesh, or bread of God sent from heaven. This is the ‘thing’ that came down from heaven….it was the WORD OF FLESH, OR MEAT OR BREAD THAT GOD GAVE THIS WORLD THROUGH THE MOUTH OF JESUS AND LATER THE APOSTLES AND NOW ME. This flesh or meat or bread is the same flesh that Jesus himself ate to have eternal life. This is his FLESH; his spiritual FOOD; not speaking of his natural body.
Jesus said, except you EAT MY FLESH, and DRINK MY BLOOD, you have no life in you. Most people who heard that walked away from him……having heard it with their carnal mind….. they thought he was speaking of the fleshly man they were looking at. So they knew they could not eat the human body of this man or drink his human blood. So they were baffled and walked away, into the darkness of error.
The same error has almost everyone blinded today, as they still think that the FLESH that he spoke of was his human body. They say, The Word was made FLESH and dwelt among us and we beheld the glory. Yet Jesus himself said, he had to suffer before he entered into glory.
They still think the FLESH that the word was made into was his human body or Mary’s baby; the man who died on the cross. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus was not telling anyone to eat his human body. There are two different kinds of FLESH mentioned in John 6.
John 6: 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
In this chapter I will prove to you that Jesus is NOT the bread that came down from heaven. Jesus is not the flesh that we are to eat.
Jesus is not the word of God. Jesus SPOKE THE WORD OF GOD AND THAT IS THE BREAD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN THAT WE MUST EAT OR COME TO UNDERSTAND TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
V31. They tell Jesus that Moses gave them bread from heaven………. They are seeing this in the natural or carnal mind. V32 Jesus told them that Moses did not give them the bread from heaven. He is speaking of spiritual BREAD. He said, My Father gives you the true bread from heaven……he does not mean his own human body. We are not to eat this human man’s body or flesh.
V33, he said, the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven. So now this proves that he himself is not what came down from heaven. That which came down from heaven is what we must EAT TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:
Now you will think that this proves that Jesus is saying that Jesus is this bread of life….. but not so. He is not telling us to eat himself. He already said, the words I speak are NOT MINE, BUT THE FATHERS. He already said I do not testify of myself. So it is the FATHER’S WORDS that came down from heaven.. it is the father’s word speaking inside Jesus; it is the Father’s word that is the bread of life and that we must eat. IT IS SCRIPTURE. It is the ANOINTING. His Word is the anointing and this is the heavenly BREAD OF FLESH.
You who make light of Scripture; do not care much for it….do not study it; after men gave their lives to give it to us; you who think it matters not what it says….you are NOT EATING THE BREAD OF LIFE.
~~~~~~~
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
~~~~~~
The Jews murmured at him for saying I am the bread which came down from heaven……. See, they were seeing his words as natural like you do. They thought he meant himself…. His human person. See, they were looking at a human man and that is all they could see. They could not see the Word of God inside this man.
They knew this man personally. They knew who Jesus was. They said, this is the son of Joseph and we know his mother, so then how could he have come down from heaven? [this error causes folks today to think that Jesus or God lived in heaven before he came to earth as a baby; God does not teach such as that.]
That is what you all think also….that this human being is the Word of God. They were closer to the truth though because at least they knew Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph. But see, they did not understand the CHRIST INSIDE JESUS. They did not know the anointing that was the Christ which the man, Jesus, brought forth with his obedience to God. But it is the CHRIST who is speaking. It is the CHIRST, NOT THE MAN JESUS, SAYING I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. (If you study Mat one, and count the Generations , you can see that Christ is different from Jesus, for Jesus is # 41 and Christ is # 42.)
Now, this next verse is the main theme of this message and I will get to it quickly:
~~~~~~~`
[45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.]
~~~~~~~~
THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD. Now that is what I am trying to get to today; this new revelation that God gave me. (We, the second witness, will show all of God’s children the real truth and their spiritual eyes will be opened and they will know the truth and be set free. They will all be taught the truth and come out of their blindness and be converted to the real truth and be saved. Even those who have died without knowing the truth, but were honestly trying to serve Jesus and God and live a decent life, will be brought into the real truth and we will then all become one big glorious kingdom of Christ on this earth.)
So where in the prophets is this mentioned?
Isa 54: 13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
~~~~~~~~~
That is God speaking to Jesus in prophecy: all your children will be taught of the Lord. Then why are so many of his children in darkness? I am going to show you in this message and also how they will get to the light or truth.
Zech 14: 3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (This is when the woman in Rev 12 FLED to the wilderness. Jesus told those in Judea to FLEE to the mountains. This is where it is speaking of).
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: (What day is he speaking of? It is while they are in that valley or the seven churches)
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
~~~~~~~`
There is a Day of Jesus Christ, or a Day of the Lord.
In this DAY He will fight against all who fight against his people.
V4
He stands on the Mt of Olives. Now Romans 9 and 10 explain that his kingdom or body or people is the Olive tree with him as the root of this tree. Israel is not this Root. Jesus is. (of course Jesus is Israel, if you can understand it)…. We are branches on this tree, so this is that Mt of Olives.
When He stood on this mountain of his kingdom, it split into. This is because it was all of his people beginning on the Day of Pentecost.
As I have already explained, the group in the book of Acts is that first Witness. That is the part of this mountain that moved to the North. Then the other part of this split mountain moved to the South, thus leaving a great valley or wilderness in between those TWO HALVES.
Those two witnesses, one on the right side of the candlestick and the other on the other side of the candlestick are these two halves of this mountain. Their ‘time’ is told of in Revelation 12…two times the woman FLED to this valley of the mountain.
That valley between the two halves is the SEVEN CHURCHES. See, when she fled to the valley or wilderness it was in those seven churches and since they had lost the truth it was never clear light to them. It was not clear as day nor was it dark as night, because they did at least think they were serving Jesus.
It was a day known to the Lord as not day, nor night. The light or truth was not clear or totally dark. So they had a dark cloudy day and did not know which way to go.
But it said at evening time it shall be LIGHT.
So when is the evening time and why is it light in the evening time, which is normally dark? This evening time is the time of the SECOND WITNESS. Yes. When this second witness comes on the scene, they will again bring the true light to this world.
See, Genesis one is not about the creation of a natural world as everyone thinks. It is the MINISTRY OF THESE TWO WITNESSES.
SEE, THE EVENING AND THE MORNING. The evening and the morning. The evening and the morning. It is not about a natural 24 hour day; it is about these two witnesses ministry.
Jesus told us his spirit in us will be a well of LIVING WATER springing up into everlasting life. See it is this, waters going out from Jerusalem, (not that natural city, but the body of Christ)…the former and hinder sea is these two times of empowering from God).
That living water is going to go out from this second witness and enlighten this world and then the ’stammers’ will begin to Speak Plainly. This is showing that now they have no real truth but then they will understand and speak the real truth, to eternal life.
Zec 14: 11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
[OK, let’s take it a verse at a time; this is speaking of a time of peace when all wars and evil has been done away with).
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
(Now I know this one sounds horrible, if you see it carnal or naturally speaking. But it is actually wonderful when you see it spiritual, which it IS. Their flesh is the carnal food they ate or the whore’s lies. This will consume away as they stand upon their feet, or step up to the truth of Serving Jesus in spirit and in truth. That old flesh of the filth will be washed away.
Their eyes consuming away in their holes, is that blinded eye being taken out and a good seeing eye of spirituality given to them.
Their tongue consuming away in their mouth is that lying tongue of deception being burned out and a tongue speaking the truth is given to them.
All of this will be accomplished by the teaching of the second witness. We will finally get the lost children of God to come to truth and the scales will be taken off their blinded eyes and they will see and come to the truth.
Salvation will be given to them then. The stammers will begin to speak plainly for they will now see and understand the truth that they have rejected all these days.)
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
(This is when we reach out to those who are now blinded and lead them into the real truth; which I hope this message will help do).
14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
(The wealth of all the heathen speaks of the people who were brought to Jesus from among the heathen. Gold and Silver speaks of the great things of God. The Apparel is clothing them with righteousness()
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
(If they do not come up to worship Jesus our King, then they will not receive the glorious rain of the blessing that this worship gives. It is not natural rain.)
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
(This is when all of Satan’s evil people have been cast out and only the true people of God will now inhabit this earth. What a glorious day that will be).
Praise God for giving me this glorious message.
