Consider in Genesis 1 that the SUN, MOON, and STARS were not created until several days after God said “LET THERE BE LIGHT”…they were not created until DAY 4 of that creation story. And their purpose was given, they were to be “For Times, and for telling of Seasons” they were in essence created to be “A UNIVERSAL TIME CLOCK.”
AND consider in Revelation we see the Prophet John speak of an Angel who stands with one foot on the Sea, one on the Land and raises his hands to heaven to proclaim “THAT TIME SHALL BE NO MORE!” Just what was this angel saying, that the world would end? No, not at all, what he said was that TIME WOULD END. This does mean that all things stop, it means the UNIVERSAL TIME CLOCK OF MAN, would be broken. BUT those instruments, that UNIVERSAL time clock was not the only time keeping device, it was just one of more, and it was created for MAN to keep TIME, not GOD, God lists 3 days of Creation in Genesis chapter 1, 3 days, 3 units of TIME existing PRIOR to the creation of the SUN, MOON, and STARS. Revelation tells us these things will be broken, this time clock of MAN, “TIME SHALL BE NO MORE”…Revelation tells us WHO will break this clock, it will be GOD himself,
”So that SOME FLESH SHOULD BE SAVED, THE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED!”
But even after that declaration of that 7th Angel, “THAT TIME SHOULD BE NO MORE” even after that Universal Time Clock is broken, and TIME essentially propels to it’s end from mans perspective, to END completely the TIME CLOCK of EARTH as “THE OLD HEAVEN AND OLD EARTH” are witnessed in John’s Vision to “PASS AWAY”…That City, “THE NEW JERUSALEM” that seat of Heaven, has it’s own time keeping device…and one it will bring to this celesitial orb, this planet when it comes to rest here as to be the seat of the NEW HEAVEN, which this world will become. SO WHAT THEN IS THAT TIME KEEPING DEVICE OF HEAVEN…?
What is that time keeping device which is seated in Heaven, which resides in the Heavenly Jerusalem? What is that Time Clock, that when the UNIVERSAL TIME CLOCK of this earth breaks, and propels to the time when it will be no more at all, when the SUN has turned black as sackcloth…what is that heavenly time piece which will restore TIME to this planet in place when this earth and it’s TIME have passed away? It is seen in Revelation chapter 22, it is the TREE OF LIFE, which without fail, produces 12 different varieties of fruit to maturity on a monthy basis. The crops of that tree, not only will nourish a world devastated by famine, they will by their monthly advent, restore both a sense of time, and order to the same.
IN previous studies, we have begun to challenge popluar notions about mainstream teachings on Prophecy, on Creation, on Heaven itself.
In Zecheriah 14, we see a situation in which those who do not go up to the city, "NEW JERUSALEM", who do not even send a representative, will suffer a curse, one which will see thier people suffer starvation. The curse is noted as "NO RAIN" upon thier crops.
This in itself seems a cruelty, as if God is withholding Rain from those people. But the truth is, those people, like ALL who reject the truth, will be punishing themselves!
In that timeframe, consider an event which burns the very elements (Malachi chapter 4), a timeframe in which THE LORD upon his ARRIVAL will indeed use a GREAT FIRE against the enemies of Jerusalem (Isaiah 66/Zecheriah 14), but after that war, AFTER THAT EVENT, there are noted in Zecheriah 14 to be survivors, some of whom go to that city "NEW JERUSALEM" and some who don't.
SO how then is it those who do not go, who do not send representatives, who purposefully deny the LORD, deny TRUTH, how is it that THEY in fact are punishing themeselves moreso than the idea that GOD is moreso punishing them?
Well, consider that great heat, whatever causes it, and consider at the timeframe when THE PROPHET JOHN witnesses the arrival of this "CITY COMING DOWN" this "NEW JERUSALEM"...that he states as he sees it arriving, that in that timeframe "THERE IS NO MORE SEA!"
Well, if that is the case, then to a world where there is no SEA....NO ONE WILL BE GETTING ANY RAIN! NOT ONE DROP! THE ENTIRE PLANET WILL BE IN A STATE OF FAMINE!
NOW, then, consider the opening passages of Revelation 22 concerning the Tree of Life. IT IS NOT JUST "A" Time clock of Heaven, and to ESTABLISH TIME AGAIN in the NEW CREATION of this World, it has a greater purpose....
1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The LEAVES OF THIS TREE were purposed before it's very arrival for "THE HEALING OF NATIONS" !!!
First of all, this dispels alot of notions people have about this world being all streets of Gold and peace and such after the Arrival of the KINGDOM of GOD as promised in Daniel chapter 2.
When the city "NEW JERUSALEM" arrives to this world, after that great battle which takes place in ONLY ONE NATIONS...there will be prior to, upon and after the arrival of that "CITY COMING DOWN", NATIONS IN NEED OF HEALING!
THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL BE IN FAMINE!
And in this city, is a gift to a FAMINE STRUCK WORLD, a WORLD WITH NO MORE SEA in it even prior to the arrival of NEW JERUSALEM. A world with no more rain...
THIS TREEE, it's very roots have been sustained by "THE RIVER OF THE WATER OF LIFE"! The tree is noted to be "ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIVER!" How can one tree be on two sides of the same river?
IT CANT! But the passage does not just say the tree resides "ON EITHER SIDE" but also "IN THE MIDST" of that river of life! NOW A TREE that resides SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE, dead center of any river, can both RESIDE IN THE MIDST (Middle) and simultaneously ON BOTH SIDES of the river!
Irregardless of how it is situated on the RIVER, the point is, after having been sustained all it's life by waters from "THE RIVER OF THE WATER OF LIFE"...even if this planet would be engulfed in water upon the arrival of the NEW JERUSALEM...no water from any well on this earth would do! THE CLEANEST DROP OF WATER ON THIS PLANET WOULD BE POLLUTED as HELL to that tree!
The truth is, that TREE, it's LEAVES...will be for the Healing of NATIONS on this planet in a time of famine! HOW?
Because those who go up to the city NEW JERUSALEM, those who send representatives, will recieve a gift, "LEAVES", grafts from this Miraculous Tree which grows a full harvest of 12 manner of Fruit to MATURITY on a MONTHLY BASIS! They will be able to take these leaves, these GRAFTS, back to thier homelands after paying HOMAGE to the LORD! And that tree will not NEED ANY WATERS OF THIS WORLD TO SURVIVE! IT WILL BE able to thrive in a world with no seas! It will thrive despite the FACT THAT NO ONE IS GETTING ANY RAINS!
So the statement that those who do not go up, will suffer a curse that will bring starvation, and that they will get no rains for thier crops is a TRUTH!
BUT AS NO ONE IS GETTING RAINS in that day, the notion that the curse upon those who do not go up to NEW JERUSALEM, is some cruelty bestowed upon them by Jah', that THE LORD in some way lacks compassion and is oppressing those people who reject him in that timeframe...such notions ARE COMPLETELY FALSE!
IT will be by thier own hand, thier OWN REJECTION to go up and pay homage, in a timeframe they will have had witnesses tell them of the arrival of the LORD, it will be by thier OWN REJECTION OF TRUTH...that they do not go to NEW JERUSALEM. IT will be thier failure to go, that they do NOT RECIEVE THE LEAVES of the TREE OF LIFE intended to be for the HEALING OF NATIONS...ALL NATIONS THAT PARTAKE OF THE FEAST OF THE LORD in the NEW JERUSALEM!
And it will be by thier own course, leading them in a time when one will get rain, to by thier lack of the one plant life that could sustain them, the leaves that would be freely given them if only they would humble themselves and go pay homage to the LORD, it will be by thier own pride placing them in the unneccessary position of Starvation.
This too, is a TRUTH about THE NEW JERUSALEM, about "A CITY COMING DOWN" as noted to the Prophets.
