Cursed or blessed Jerusalem? ~~~
By: Jo Smith…. Oct 17, 2020
Malachi 3: 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
So, which is it? God said to rightly divide Scripture. Unless you can learn to do this you will miss too much. You must seek for the anointing of God to teach you, or forever believe the lies of satan.
Now Is that old nation of Israel cursed or blessed? It cannot be both. It is impossible to be both blessed and cursed. These are opposites so therefore cannot be true to the same being.
Right here only three verse apart it is said to be cursed and blessed. Some think that God cursed them then turn around and blessed them back again. Not so. God does not work that way. That would be double minded. Do you honestly think that the eternal God goes back and forth?
In order to understand this, one needs to come to see that there was a natural Israel, Jew, Judah, etc. and then there is a spiritual Israel, Jew, etc.
They are not the same thing. They are showing something very big in Scripture, in this world, and I do not know anyone who has ever taught the truth of this.
Natural Israel/Judah, shows the old kingdom of Adam/Satan/tree of the knowledge of good and evil/ law. It shows carnality, natural things versus spiritual things.
The ways of this kingdom, first-man Adam, is sinful, witchcraft and is cursed of God.
The natural Israel or Jews shows this. Their being in Egypt shows our first stage of being sinful, in the world. Their coming out of Egypt shows our beginning journey with God. We are into a wilderness, seeking to learn the ways of God. We are being translated out of the kingdom of Satan into the kingdom of Christ Jesus.
But along the way, many fall backwards and do not make it. This is as those Israelites kept going back to their idols and sins. They never became spiritual or had any faith.
Those old Israelites, or Jerusalem, never got beyond their love for idols. They never followered God with their hearts. He bore with them a long time but finally reached a time that He would no longer bear with their evil. This is the time spoken in our opening verse: ye are cursed even this whole nation.
God was finished with them then and there. They will never come back as a natural nation again. If they did, it would do away with the work of Jesus Christ to bring in a spiritual people, filled with the Spirit and love of God.
3: 1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
This is speaking of John the Baptist and Jesus. This is the beginning of the New Jerusalem or a spiritual Israel or Jew. It is not just for those natural people; it is for the entire world. Those who come to Christ through the Holy Ghost baptism will become part of this spiritual, or BLESSED JERUSALEM.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
This Levi here is Jesus. It is not the old Levi. This is beginning to show how one becomes of the blessed or spiritual Israel. Romans 2: 28 and 29 show that the true Jew is in the Spirit; not in the flesh.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
6 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
He brings those people to judgment and shows here that he will no longer put up with these sinners. But verse six shows that He did not cut Jacob out of this salvation. But the thing is, they have to come into the New Jerusalem and same was all others do; the Acts 2 way. There is no other acceptable way with God.
If you do not obey Acts 2, you will not be translated out of old Jerusalem or Adam/satan, into Christ or New Jerusalem. Eve is the Mother of this holy city. Adam is over the old sinful city.
Now God continues to bring forth his ‘case’ against this old nation:
7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings
Here they ask God, how do we return to you? Then he said you have robbed me. They say, How. He said in tithes and offerings. Now present day preachers take this and run wild with it, to get you to pay them. That is not what is meant here. This is part of law which God did away with. He is not finished laying out their sins yet. But he is fixing to show them the way into his new Jerusalem or the true Holy City.
In everything they did back then, they robbed God. But God is not going back to that law system with them. That is the thing that he CURSED.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Now the preachers take the above and try to push the ‘church’ into thinking they must do that OT tithing and do it with money.
I wrote a message way back proving that this is not what is meant here so not going into that now. But tithing was NEVER MONEY. It was FOOD. It was stored up to feed the priests and widows and travelers who might past by and need food. It is the pure type of that we need to feed the children of God the spiritual meat of the Word. That is not being done in today’s churches. All they are getting is lies.
Now back to verse 10: Ask yourself, where and when and how did God ever open the windows of heaven and pour out lots and lots of money to people? It has never happened and never is going to happen. So that is NOT what he is speaking of.
So where and when did God open the windows of heaven and pour out that blessing?
Acts 2: 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Here is where God opened those windows and POURED OUT THAT BLESSING.
You will never find that God poured out anything else to those people. So this is the interpreting verse.
On the Day of Pentecost God poured out that blessing and the New Jerusalem began. There were the first ones to leave that old covenant and come into the New. These are the beginning of the Holy City the New Jerusalem. There is no other.
This Holy City was opened to the Gentiles in the tenth chapter of Acts. Then Paul turned the message of salvation to the Gentiles and that brought in the whole world. Now every soul that is born into the kingdom of Christ Jesus this way becomes a true Israelite or Jew. It is no longer in the flesh or that natural, sinful city called Jerusalem. That is not God’s people.
Only those who are baptized into the body of Christ are the people of God. We are the blessed ones. That old nation was cursed and it will be cursed forever. God is never, never going to go back to that witchcraft of the old covenant. Everything they did was witchcraft. Read Isaiah one and 66 and it will prove it to you. God hated everything connected with that old way of the OT.
Read Deut 28; Moses spoke the blessings and the cursing to them just before he died. He said, I have set life and death before you. Choose what you will serve; God and live or Satan and die. They chose the curses.
God even said he would pour dust and powder down from heaven and destroy their land. I believe this could be where the Sahariah Desert is today.
But that old Jerusalem is the ones who stayed in sin and chose the curses. They are cursed and nothing can change it.
Those who came to Jesus through the Baptism of the Holy Ghost are the New Jerusalem and is the blessed one.
They are both still here, together and will be till Jesus sends his angels to separate them and cast the tares into the fire of destruction. Then the righteous will shine forth as the STARS forever.
Praise God for revealing his truth to me.
Amen
